Chapter 216: A Dangerous Standoff

Zhou Yifei shook her head. "Hurry up and untie me."

Bai He only took one look and knew it could not be undone by hand.

He immediately took out Sky Cutting Sword and easily cut the bindings.

Once freed, Zhou Yifei noticed the bloodstains on Bai He’s clothes.

It still looked painful.

Those wounds were caused by the venomous snakes when he had passed through earlier.

Although he could not see them, those snakes were real.

Bai He appearing here surprised Zhou Yifei.

After all, she knew very well how afraid he was of snakes.

"Those snakes are all poisonous. Take an antidote pill first. Where is Shi Gui?"

"I came here with Second Senior Brother. I have no idea where they are fighting now."

Bai He was already starting to feel dizzy.

The snake venom would not take his life, but it was still having an effect on his body.

However, after taking the antidote pill, the dizziness quickly disappeared.

Zhou Yifei pulled Bai He along and helped him eliminate the venomous snakes on the ground as they went, finally leaving the snake cave.

"Stay here. I will go help Second Senior Brother."

Bai He did not even have time to say that he wanted to go as well.

Sigh... in their eyes, they probably never expected him to be of any real help.

He had clearly already chosen a magical artifact and planned to give it to them.

Bai He silently put the artifact away again. "Mo Zhu, let us follow them."

"Alright, Host. You just need to follow the path the Third Elder took."

Bai He followed, but not far ahead, he saw another group of people.

"Who are they?"

A bad premonition rose in Bai He’s heart.

When he saw those people, he felt uneasy, and a faint sense of fear emerged within him.

"Host, according to the data, the man leading them is named Shi Ran, the current Demon King."

Bai He’s fingers trembled.

Was this not Shi Gui’s younger brother, Shi Ran?

A giant snake demon even more terrifying than Shi Gui.

And the only reason he would appear here was because of Shi Gui.

The place they were heading to was exactly where Bai He was going.

What kind of misfortune had he committed to have to face two giant snake demons?

"Host, are you going?"

Mo Zhu’s data suggested that Bai He should stay away from danger, but under these circumstances, how could he possibly just leave?

Bai He quickly flew in that direction.

Shi Ran and the others had only just arrived when Bai He reached the scene.

Dan Zhu had hoped that Bai He would not come, but he still did.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister."

"You... stand behind us. Remember, if there is danger, run."

Bai He nodded obediently and immediately stood behind Dan Zhu.

They were protecting him.

But facing the Demon King and Shi Gui, along with other great demons, his two senior siblings seemed somewhat...

"Lingguang Sect? So it really is the Lingguang Sect."

There was a trace of disdain in Shi Ran’s tone.

Zhou Yifei let out a cold snort. "So what if it is the Lingguang Sect? Back then, the very first demon that was imprisoned in the Demon Cave of the Lingguang Sect and captured personally by my master was your previous Demon King."

The former Demon King was now in the Demon Cave.

Shi Ran was the current one.

This matter could truly be considered a disgrace to the demon race and many demons were unwilling to mention it.

"That was your master, not you."

"Shi Ran, do you dare to offend the Lingguang Sect? If you dare to make a move, the former Demon King will be your fate."

Bai He silently admired Zhou Yifei.

At a time like this, her presence was not weak at all.

The other side clearly had the advantage in numbers.

They should have been more low-key.

Acting so arrogantly could easily lead to trouble.

"Host, I think the situation is becoming more and more dangerous." Mo Zhu analyzed as it flew in front of Bai He.

Bai He curled his lips.

Although he did not say a single word, was that not obvious?

"Good, good. A worthy elder of the Lingguang Sect. You have courage and boldness. Today, if you release my elder brother, then we will let this matter end here. If not, then today, I will make sure the three elders of the Lingguang Sect die here."

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

At a time like this, he really should not be counted among them.

Could they not just pretend they did not see him?

"Look at your little junior brother. He is so frightened that his face has already turned pale."

Shi Ran looked at Bai He standing behind Dan Zhu.

Although Bai He did not say a word, it seemed like he had a lot he wanted to say.

"What do you want to say?"

Bai He grabbed onto Dan Zhu’s clothes and peeked his head out from behind him.

He answered very seriously, "My face is not pale from fear. It was already pale. You are just dark yourself and cannot stand others for having fair skin."

Shi Ran: ...

He himself was originally a black snake, but after transforming into human form, he was no longer dark.

Where exactly did he look dark to him?

"Little brat, come out here."

"Shi Ran, you are also a Demon King of your generation. What kind of ability is it to make things difficult for a little boy?"

"A little boy? An ordinary little boy would be scared to cry for three days and nights just from a single glance of mine. Your Lingguang Sect’s little boy is truly not ordinary."

Bai He did not think this was a compliment.

At the same time, Bai He quietly stuffed something into Dan Zhu’s hand and then said, "It is not your place to judge. Mind your own business."
