Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 268 What good things can Xue Lan bring out?

Yan Chengxue waited for Xue Lan at Luoxia Mountain for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, the woman, who looked like a black crow, finally arrived late.

The group met in Luoxia City. Yan Chengxue had her little doll perched on her shoulder, her eyes filled with a resentment that Xue Lan couldn't ignore.

"Why don't you just stay for a month?" he said with a sneer.

"Isn't it because I need something?" Xue Lan knew she was in the wrong this time, so she smiled and brushed it off. She took out a small box covered in talismans from her sleeve.

Yan Chengxue stepped forward curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Xue Lan wore a sly smile and lowered her voice: "Good stuff."

Yan Chengxue suddenly realized, and the young man nodded:

"Since you've said that, it's probably not a good thing."

Xue Lan's smile vanished instantly.

Wu Yijun looked at Xue Lan's expression with some helplessness. The woman spoke softly, "Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly how we're going to chase after Zhu He!"

Xue Lan was puzzled: "Why should I pursue him?"

Wu Yijun glanced at Lin Su behind him: "This guy went to the military camp where we were resting last night, got drunk, and told Zhu He in advance that you were coming. He ran away last night!"

After saying this, the woman exclaimed in amazement, "Zhu He has really made something of himself, daring to run away."

Xue Lan didn't move, confidently saying, "It's alright, he'll come back."

The woman stood there pondering for a while, then her pale eyes darted around:

"Bet or not?"

Yan Chengxue immediately understood Xue Lan's meaning. The young man took out a handful of high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them in front of Xue Lan:

"Let's bet. I bet he'll be back tomorrow."

Seeing his actions, Wu Yijun laughed and followed suit: "If Junior Sister Ji were here, I wouldn't dare to gamble. I'll gamble on tomorrow."

Xue Lan shook her head, her face bearing an expression none of you would understand:

"I bet it will happen tonight, before midnight."

Xue Tong, who had been watching Xue Lan and the others from the sidelines, could no longer contain herself. She took out her secret stash and placed it all on the table.

"Me and Xue Lan."

Seeing the group of people in front of him start a gambling game as if no one else was around, Lu Feng, standing at the back, felt that he couldn't bet or not bet.

In the end, Xue Tong snatched his spirit stone bag and placed it with Xue Lan.

Lu Feng looked at the spirit stones on the table with immense heartache. Just as his heart was breaking, he suddenly saw Xue Lan's eyes.

The person had turned their head at some point, their gray eyes fixed in your direction.

The woman's smiling voice echoed in his mind:

"All the winnings are mine."

Lu Feng nodded frantically.

I'll give you everything, just don't look at me, I'm scared!

After the betting game was set up, everyone's attention turned to the box in Xue Lan's hand.

"Is this some kind of rare and precious treasure? The talisman is bound so tightly..." Yan Chengxue smiled somewhat strangely:

"Could it be that it came from an illegitimate source?"

Xue Lan shook her head: "Of course not, I grew them one by one in the Xuanhuang Sect."

Yan Chengxue felt relieved; what dangerous thing could possibly be grown in the Xuanhuang Sect?

The young man sat on the stone bench, his voice languid: "Open it and take a look!"

Xue Lan asked, "Are you sure?"

Yan Chengxue, wondering what big thing this could be, said with utmost confidence, "I'm sure!"

In the blink of an eye, the talisman on the small box disappeared the instant Yan Chengxue spoke, and Xue Lan opened it in a flash.

The next instant, Yan Chengxue's expression changed drastically:

"Xue Lan!!!"

The next second, a massive amount of spiritual energy poured out from Yan Chengxue, enveloping the entire table.

The spiritual energy formed a shield, trapping thousands of moving red fruits underneath.

Xue Lan looked at Yan Chengxue and asked, "Do you like it?"

Yan Chengxue's expression twisted and contorted repeatedly, startling those around her.

But Xue Lan is blind; she cannot see.

Seeing that the young man had already clenched his left fist and was gathering spiritual power, Xue Tong was afraid that he would jump up and knock Xue Lan's chin off.

The girl stood in front of Xue Lan, saying, "Calm down, calm down!"

Wu Yijun also glanced at Yan Chengxue: "Senior Brother..."

Yan Chengxue kept staring at Xue Lan.

Xue Lan sensed the killing intent coming from ahead, raised her hand and rummaged around in her sleeve, finally finding a jade fan pendant.

The white jade is warm and lustrous, containing spiritual energy, and is carved with lifelike cranes.

"apologize……"

Yan Chengxue walked around the table in front of her and took the jade pendant.

He now understands that the reason his relationship with Xue Lan hasn't worn off over the years is because of his magnanimity.

The young man put away the fan pendant and comforted himself.

You can't turn your back on someone just because you took their things, Yan Chengxue. You should have known better than to give away anything of value that Xue Lan would bring out...

The young man's voice was icy:

"You said before that this was grown there?"

Xue Lan answered truthfully: "Xuanhuang Sect."

"Good heavens!" The young man touched his forehead.

"You're really something! Do you even know what this is?" Yan Chengxue asked, unwilling to give up.

Maybe Xue Lan was just doing it for fun? I wonder what this is all about...

"I know, it's a nightmare."

Xue Lan's words shattered Yan Chengxue's last shred of hope. The young man patted Wu Yijun on the shoulder: "Junior sister, you speak. I may have said something harsh."

Wu Yijun nodded, walked up to Yan Chengxue, and carefully considered his words:

"What use are these dream demons to Senior Sister Xue?"

Xue Lan clapped her hands: "Jun Jun understands me. These dream demons are meant to fight the demon race, but there aren't enough..."

Yan Chengxue spoke softly, "Do you know how many there are? Three thousand! I used an array to suppress them, otherwise, if they were all released, they could devour the entire Southern Region!"

Xue Lan suddenly realized: "No wonder it's so small, your formation is really amazing!"

So what exactly do you want to do?

Xue Lan smiled mysteriously: "Originally, I planned to put it in Luo Shengzi, but then I realized that Luo Shengzi was too powerful. If I threw it out, it would kill all the magical beasts, so there would be no need for the Dream Demon."

"Yan Chengxue, do you still remember what we did back in the Jiangyun Sect?"

Yan Chengxue's expression froze as she glanced at the group of dream demons bound by the array on the table.

Nightmare demons are small creatures; whether in the cultivation world or the demon world, they are a weak race with no chance of survival once discovered.

These things, unfortunately, love to provoke humans. They weave dreams and take their place.

“Actually…” Wu Yijun heard his senior brother’s voice.

"It's not impossible! It will definitely be useful on the front lines. It's just that this formation for concealing one's presence... let me think about it..."

As Yan Chengxue spoke, she emerged from behind Wu Yijun and slumped onto the table, completely forgetting what had happened before.

Wu Yijun sighed, then looked at Xue Lan without saying a word.

Xue Lan retrieved all the dream demons from the table and listened quietly to Yan Chengxue speak.

Yan Chengxue said that Xue Lan just kept agreeing with him, smoothing his hair back and forth until he was completely satisfied. Before they knew it, three hours had passed.

In the afternoon, at the Battle of Luoxia Mountain, a young man carrying a greatsword arrived at the city gate and spoke to the soldiers guarding the city:

"Open the door, I'm home!"

The soldier recognized the young man in front of him and asked with some curiosity, "General Zhu, didn't you go back to the wasteland last night?"

Zhu He remained silent, his expression one of utter defiance.

The young man walked silently toward the direction of Xue Lan's aura.

I already broke several ribs in the desolate area. If I run away this time, my senior sister will kick me and break a few more.

The eldest sister went to the desolate region, and when her aunt found out, she was involved in another incident.

So in the end, he decided to come back!

"Look at this formation... wait, what are you doing?"

Yan Chengxue was excitedly explaining the formation to Xue Lan when she suddenly saw the woman in front of her smile inexplicably and then start pulling the spirit stones on the table toward herself.

Upon hearing Yan Chengxue's words, Xue Lan pointed to a spot not far away.

Yan Chengxue looked over and saw Zhu He carrying a large sword on his back, his head drooping like a little dog, slowly walking towards them.

Yan Chengxue: Are you really that spineless?
