I Shall Be Everlasting In the World of Immortals

Penetrating through the thin mist, the moonlight fell on the grassland of a basin in the Black Fog Mountain Range.

Awoooo! Awoooo!

On the grassy hill, two second-rank wolf demons comparable in size to tigers and leopards were engaged in a brawl, their flesh and blood tattered, the battle was grueling.

The two wolf demons, one black and one gray, had vastly different auras.

The black wolf had a sturdy body and a fierce killing aura; the gray wolf was agile and its fur shimmered with a silver glow.

As Lan Chang\'an\'s group of four passed by, they observed the scene, then discreetly concealed their magical power and movements.

"Black Wind Wolf, Gray Moon Wolf. These two types of demon wolves are natural mortal enemies." Zhao Siyao transmitted her thoughts.

At this juncture, the four of them had two options: the first was to quietly detour around the wolves and return to Huanglong Immortal City; the second was to wait for both wolves to weaken each other, then swoop in for an easy kill.

Lan Chang\'an had obtained the special demon core and naturally did not want to cause any additional trouble.

"Husband! The demon core of the Gray Moon Wolf can also replace the Xuanling Fruit as the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill." Xiao Yingxue said in surprise.

"Yes, the Gray Moon Wolf absorbs the power of moonlight, and its demon core is pure."

Chen Fuhai\'s eyes lit up as he stared at the gray wolf demon, its fur shimmering with a faint silver glow under the moonlight.

"Fellow Daoists, can you lend us a helping hand? When the time is right, we can capture that Gray Moon Wolf in one fell swoop." Chen Fuhai invited with eager eyes.

Xiao Yingxue\'s eyes also glimmered with unusual brilliance, "If we succeed, we will surely repay you greatly, offering two thousand spirit stones. In addition to the demon core, we will also give you the wolf\'s corpse."

Lan Chang\'an understood.

When Chen Fuhai and his wife did not obtain the special demon core, they agreed to cooperate with him in pill refinement.

But Lan Chang\'an had the priority of choosing the pills, which introduced an element of uncertainty into the arrangement.

Now, all they had to do to obtain a special demon core was kill an early second-rank Gray Moon Wolf.

The couple had gathered the remaining materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if they asked a top second-rank alchemist from the sect to make it, they had a chance to obtain three Foundation Establishment Pills.

One Foundation Establishment Pill versus three Foundation Establishment Pills.

Even a three-year-old child could understand this difference.

Moreover, cooperating with Lan Chang\'an only gave them a high probability of obtaining one Foundation Establishment Pill.

If it were Lan Chang\'an, he would also choose to take control into his own hands and secure a guaranteed happy ending.

However, he was a little puzzled.

A few months ago, second-rank demon beasts with special demon cores were hard to find in the Black Fog Mountain Range.

On the way back, had they really been so lucky as to encounter a Gray Moon Wolf with a compatible demon core?

...

Lan Chang\'an and Zhao Siyao exchanged glances and communicated through sound transmission.

Zhao Siyao was clearly tempted, after all, they were only two early second-rank wolf demons, both injured and weakened.

They had the power of four Foundation Establishment cultivators, including one at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Looking at the two wolf demons, one black and one gray, fighting fiercely, Lan Chang\'an shook his head slightly.

Having already secured his goal, he did not want to cause any additional trouble.

"If Fellow Daoist Lan is unwilling, you can help us keep watch. After we succeed, we will send you a small gift."

Chen Fuhai transmitted his thoughts.

The couple successfully persuaded Zhao Siyao and did not force Lan Chang\'an. However, killing it presented a different level of difficulty than simply defeating it.

Inviting other Foundation Establishment cultivators was to ensure stability and cut off the Gray Moon Wolf\'s escape route through encirclement.

The Gray Moon Wolf was agile and swift, extremely fast, and with the geographical advantage of the Black Fog Mountain Range, it had a chance to escape the pursuit of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, be careful."

Now that things had come to this, it was not good for Lan Chang\'an to dissuade them.

How could he dissuade them?

Ask Chen Fuhai and his wife to give up three Foundation Establishment Pills?

Zhao Siyao came out to train and gain experience for the sake of her cultivation path and to seize opportunities.

To forcefully persuade them would be tantamount to blocking their path.

Lan Chang\'an had no suitable reason to dissuade them either, he simply did not want to get involved.

......

Howl howl!

On the grassland plain, the two wolf demons fought fiercely, their bellies ripped open, flesh and blood tattered.

Zhao Siyao and Chen Fuhai, along with his wife, surrounded them from three directions, quietly approaching.

Lan Chang\'an kept a further distance, responsible for keeping watch.

In his field of vision, the two demon wolves were indeed defeated.

Howl!

The Gray Moon Wolf, relying on its agile body, bit the Black Wind Wolf\'s neck.

It was also seriously injured, its abdomen ruptured, exposing bloody internal organs.

"Go!"

Chen Fuhai decisively made his move, bringing out a black rock magical weapon that swelled to seven or eight zhang in the wind, like a small black mountain peak, emanating a terrifying spiritual pressure.

"Top superior-grade magical weapon!"

Lan Chang\'an was slightly moved. Even a second-rank middle-grade defensive talisman would struggle to ward off this mountainous top superior-grade weapon head-on.

This type of magical weapon had strong frontal suppression but lacked a bit of flexibility. if one were to quickly activate an escape talisman, they could evade the attack.

Zhao Siyao and Xiao Yingxue attacked from the other two sides, bringing out magical weapons to cut off the Gray Moon Wolf\'s escape route.

Boom!

The black small mountain peak was imposing, pressing down and smashing the area of several zhang where the Gray Moon Wolf stood.

The Gray Moon Wolf showed fear on its face, inconvenienced by its heavy injuries, and it failed to dodge the blow, being directly hit.

A miserable howl!

Chen Fuhai showed a surprised expression, not expecting to succeed so easily. He even worried that the Gray Moon Wolf would be smashed into a meat pie, damaging the demon core.

"Something\'s wrong!"

Chen Fuhai\'s face changed suddenly. Under the black small mountain peak, there was no corpse of the Gray Moon Wolf.

Not even a trace of blood.

Howl!

The other "heavily injured and dying" Black Wind Wolf suddenly stood up, its fur black and shiny, completely unharmed.

Everything before turned out to be an illusion?

The Black Wind Wolf\'s eyes showed mockery as it turned into a wisp of black smoke, distancing itself from Chen Fuhai.

"Where did the Gray Moon Wolf go?"

"No! That wolf demon is definitely not a Gray Moon Wolf!"

Cold sweat appeared on Chen Fuhai\'s forehead as he activated his protective shield and scanned vigilantly with his spiritual sense, but it was limited by the mist.

Seeing the illusion shatter, Zhao Siyao and Xiao Yingxue, who were on two sides, showed slight discoloration on their faces.

A gust of chilling wind assaulted Xiao Yingxue\'s face, and goosebumps crawled along her arms.

An illusory figure arrived in the blink of an eye!

Merging with the moonlight, deceiving the vision, it almost eluded the spiritual sense.

"Not good!" Xiao Yingxue\'s heartbeat accelerated as she hastily activated her protective shield and prepared to take out a talisman.

Whoosh!

Under the full moon, a wolf claw flashing with silver light passed by, tearing through the newly lit protective shield.

Xiao Yingxue\'s voluptuous body stiffened, her throat feeling cold.

A line of blood spread across her elegant snow-white neck.

Xiao Yingxue unwillingly wanted to reach out her hand, but instead fell "headfirst" to the ground, her body and head separated.

This scene stunned the other people present.

A giant wolf with a body covered in silver fur appeared in front of Xiao Yingxue\'s corpse.

Under the full moon, the giant wolf\'s fur seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost, emanating the majesty of an ancient bloodline.

"Earth-grade bloodline, Heavenly Moon Wolf!" Lan Chang\'an\'s pupils constricted.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf had a body shape similar to the Gray Moon Wolf, but its bloodline was of a higher grade.

Under the moonlight, especially on the night of the full moon, this wolf\'s combat power could be greatly enhanced.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf before them should have been a middle-stage second-rank demon beast, equivalent to the fifth or sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment stage for humans.

However, with the blessing of the full moon, its strength was comparable to a late-stage second-rank demon beast.

Including its illusion abilities, it was elevated by a notch.

Lan Chang\'an\'s spiritual sense was stronger than the early Foundation Establishment stage, but not as strong as the middle Foundation Establishment stage.

In the Black Fog Mountain Range, the spiritual sense and perception were limited by the mist. Coupled with the relatively long distance, he had not seen through the flaws in the illusion before.

Suddenly, he remembered the fleeting feeling of being watched when he killed the White Jade Python.

Thinking about it now, the White Jade Python was in a period of advancement and might have been targeted by the Heavenly Moon Wolf.

When Lan Chang\'an killed the White Jade Python, the Heavenly Moon Wolf was secretly watching.

But Lan Chang\'an, Zhao Siyao, and the Earth Burrowing Rat were all uninjured and in perfect condition.

At that time, it was not a moonlit night, so the Heavenly Moon Wolf did not strike out of caution.

......

Under the amplification of the full moon, the Heavenly Moon Wolf unexpectedly killed Xiao Yingxue with one strike.

Its eyes flashed with cunning and playfulness.

With a claw, it ripped open Xiao Yingxue\'s abdomen and began to devour her.

"Yingxue!"

Chen Fuhai\'s eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage. His brain buzzed at the sight of this scene, his body almost shaking.

Zhao Siyao shuddered, her pretty face turning pale.

"Beware of illusions! Don\'t let your mind be shaken!"

Lan Chang\'an, being further away, was less affected. He silently operated the Evergreen Technique and the Spirit Stabilizing Secret Art from his previous life.

Before he finished speaking.

Whoosh whoosh——

Two crescent moon blades tore through the air, their light even more dazzling under the full moon.

They slashed towards Chen Fuhai and Zhao Siyao respectively.

Chen Fuhai, due to his wife\'s tragic state, was affected by the illusion. His emotions were ignited with great sorrow and anger. It was not until the crescent moon blade slashed in front of him that he reacted.

The protective shield was slashed through by the crescent moon blade.

He dodged in shock and anger, hastily bringing out a top superior-grade defensive magical weapon, not having time to fully activate it.

With a "splat" sound.

The magical weapon\'s spiritual light dimmed, and an arm was cut off.

Howl~

The Heavenly Moon Wolf dragged several silvery phantom images forward, its speed terrifying as it pounced towards Chen Fuhai.

"Hiss!"

Not far away, Zhao Siyao let out a muffled groan, her delicate figure swaying like she might collapse at any moment.

She timely deployed the Iron Trellis Umbrella, but the moon blade sliced through it, leaving a crack.

Splat!

The dimmed and shrunken crescent moon passed by her legs, staining her white dress with blood.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Moon Wolf was focusing on Chen Fuhai, whose strength was greater, and had not yet turned its attention to her.

Unfortunately, the other early second-rank Black Wind Wolf swiftly transformed into a wisp of black smoke, speeding directly toward Zhao Siyao.

Zhao Siyao\'s legs were injured, and she was entangled by the Black Wind Wolf. She brought out the Iron Trellis Umbrella to defend, retreating in a fluster.

"This way!" Lan Chang\'an\'s voice came from behind.

When Lan Chang\'an was keeping watch before, he chose a position relatively closer to Zhao Siyao.

Whoosh whoosh!

A few two-zhang-tall earth spikes burst forth, only to be nimbly dodged by the Black Wind Wolf.

This bought Zhao Siyao time to catch her breath and regroup with Lan Chang\'an.

"Let\'s go!"

Lan Chang\'an grabbed her hand and escaped at a low altitude.
