Chapter 432 I want to protect my mother
"Why did you attack so suddenly?"
After Ji Ping'an's body completely disappeared into the void, Xue Lan slowly turned around and looked at Lin Buyu.
The girl then retracted the vines from her body, and two small, jade-like horns sprouted from her head.
"I'm worried about my mother, but I shouldn't have sought solutions from the demons." The girl's tone was cold, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xue Lan.
"Just who is this senior?"
Xue Lan laboriously shifted her gaze from the girl's corner:
"A heretical cultivator."
Lin Buyu clearly didn't believe Xue Lan's explanation. The girl looked at her inner demon:
"A heretical cultivator who possesses the strength of a tenth-realm demon lord even after separating a portion of his divine soul?"
The girl's eyes were brimming with disbelief, but Xue Lan persisted in her statement:
"Yes, an extremely powerful evil cultivator. After you have resolved the affairs of your clan, you can unite with the human forces to attack me."
Unable to bear it any longer, the inner demon transmitted his voice to Xue Lan:
"Have you forgotten that she wasn't a person created from within the secret realm? She still had memories of the inside when she left."
"I know, I know, but I'm not going to keep it a secret anymore."
The inner demon was slightly startled: "You plan to confront these two juniors here?"
"Ah."
"Breaking down the barrier between the upper and lower realms will inevitably cause turmoil in both realms. There are no problems in the lower realm. The upper realm cannot afford to make any mistakes either."
"After all, the long river of lanterns in the upper realm's Floating Light City is no different from the Lantern Festival in the capital of the Great Shun Dynasty in the lower realm."
The inner demon ignored the gentleness in Xue Lan's tone and spoke with extreme sarcasm and bitterness:
"It seems you haven't completely changed your habit of demanding perfection in everything."
"Don't you know that a genius like you, who has cultivated for thousands of years without any setbacks, would be laughed at for sympathizing with mortals?"
It's like a prince or nobleman living in luxury, who one day finds himself weeping over a beggar's broken leg at the city gate.
What Xue Lan wants to do is not to share his own food with others, but to smash the rice bowls of everyone in the Upper Realm.
"So what?" The inner demon heard Xue Lan's voice, tinged with laughter.
"I've already died peacefully once, can't I be allowed to rebel once?"
The inner demon knew that Xue Lan's mind was made up, and that the rock could not be turned away.
"What are you planning to do next? Are you going back to your scheming Qilin clan, or are you coming with us to do some business?"
After exchanging words with her inner demon, Xue Lan smiled and looked at Lin without speaking.
Lin Buyu bowed slightly to Xue Lan:
"I am truly missing my mother, and have decided to return to Junling Mountain."
Xue Lan seemed to have anticipated her answer. The woman nodded slightly and then spoke:
"Since you're going back to Junling Mountain, there's something I want to tell you..."
"The senior said that Elder Lei San went to Junling Mountain!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Buyu's voice was filled with horror, and he couldn't help but shout out.
Excitement gleamed in Xue Lan's eyes:
"What happened? What's going on? Is there any explanation?"
The inner demon couldn't help but speak:
"Can you please push Xue Tong back into your body?!"
Xue Lan shook her head to indicate that she could not.
Under Xue Lan's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Buyu slowly spoke:
"Third Elder Lei Pengcheng was a close friend of my maternal grandmother."
Lin Buyu's maternal grandmother was the previous Qilin Lord of the Qilin Clan.
"And then?" Xue Lan's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Before my maternal grandmother passed away, she gave her Qilin horn to Elder Lei San, and the two made a pact that Elder Lei San would protect my mother."
Xue Lan slapped her forehead:
"It seems that bringing Lei Pengcheng into this was the right decision. Did your maternal grandmother have any agreements with other demon clan forces before she passed away? Like the Vast Sea Dragon Domain or something?"
"The Vast Dragon Domain! Senior, can you really get the seniors from the Vast Dragon Domain to help you?" Lin Buyu asked excitedly.
"This... seems..."
"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Before Xue Lan could finish speaking, her inner demon forcefully interrupted her.
The woman in white looked at Lin without speaking and said, "If you have time, you can go to the Vast Dragon Domain yourself. As a fellow divine beast, your bloodline concentration is not low, so you should be able to enter."
"In the Vast Dragon Domain, there is someone who can give you the answer."
"Is it the Third Palace Master?" Lin Buyu asked quickly.
"Senior Ao Zhu, the Third Palace Master of the Pure Water Palace in the Vast Dragon Domain!"
The inner demon raised his hand and nudged Xue Lan with his elbow:
"luck?"
Xue Lan nodded:
"Could this be Heaven's reward for my pure heart? Every illusion I enter is filled with the people I love."
The inner demon rolled her eyes at her.
You may like her, but whether she likes you back is another matter.
"Have you ever met that Third Palace Master?" Xue Lan asked, but Lin remained silent.
The girl nodded emphatically:
"I was fortunate enough to participate in the Pearl-Holding Ceremony hosted by the Third Palace Master before."
"The Pearl-Carrying Gathering!" Xue Lan exclaimed softly in surprise.
"Your skills are quite good. Which disciples did you invite to that Pearl-Holding Gathering?"
Are there any disciples from the Northern Region River?
Lin Buyu's expression froze: "Senior, do you not often concern yourself with the affairs of the demon race in the upper realm?"
Xue Lan nodded: "Yes...yes. What's wrong?"
Lin Buyu slowly opened his mouth:
"The Pure Water Palace's Pearl-Holding Gathering has not invited disciples from the Northern Region for a thousand years."
Xue Lan felt a slight tightness in her chest:
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Lord Wolf muttered to himself, "You stingy bastard, don't you think? We clearly agreed that there would always be a place for my Northern Region in the Pearl-Holding Sect."
The inner demon tried to soothe her: "Don't try to have it both ways. What you said back then was indeed hurtful. If it were me, I would have drawn my sword and killed you on the spot!"
Xue Lan wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes:
"Didn't you say that? What does it have to do with me?"
Inner Demon: ...Nonsense!
"Senior, what's wrong?" Lin Buyu's concerned voice came from beside her. Xue Lan waved her hand slightly.
"I'm fine, I'm just lamenting the decline of imperial ambitions."
"Do you have any leads on your mother's matter?" Xue Lan asked Lin, but Lin remained silent.
Lin Buyu nodded gently:
"What did you think of what that demon said earlier?"
“He’s right. Any attempt to force the continuation of the bloodline is essentially putting your mother in a difficult position!”
Xue Lan spoke without hesitation.
She had said the same thing to the little princess who had escaped from the dragon clan a long time ago.
Lin Buyu smiled and said, "Yes, they joined forces to coerce my mother in the name of the divine beast tradition."
The girl's tone was somewhat sorrowful:
"Perhaps it wasn't just my mother, but also my maternal grandmother."
"And then there's me!"
"Senior, I've figured it out. I'm going to avenge the injustices suffered by our predecessors and, starting with myself, completely sever the shackles of bloodline."
"In the Upper Realm, there are many races that are unafraid of bloodline corruption. The Silver Moon Wolf of the Northern Region, the Thunder Roc..."
The girl smiled brightly:
"I want to... protect my mother!"
As Lin Buyu spoke these words, a layer of golden light appeared on his body.
It seems this is Lin Buyu's obsession.
"Then let's do it..." Xue Lan said softly, her figure gradually fading away.
With the heart of a child wanting to protect his mother, he resolutely resisted.
