Chapter 61: The Crimson Fire Token

Yin Kang Xuehan was very confident in her ability to conceal herself. Even a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator might not find her.

But to her surprise, a mere Golden Core cultivator had seen through her disguise.

Since she was exposed, Yin Kang Xuehan had planned to directly control her sister and take her away by force.

She hadn’t expected her sister to have a mental defense treasure. Clearly, she didn’t have it before in Canggu City.

This was obviously given to her by Qin Yangjun.

Looking at Qin Yangjun’s calm expression, he had clearly calculated that she wouldn’t resort to force, because it might hurt Ling’er.

Every move she made was anticipated by this man.

The more Yin Kang Xuehan looked at Qin Yangjun, the more unfathomable he seemed.

“It’s you?!”

Ah Ling was startled by Yin Kang Xuehan’s appearance. She quickly assumed a fighting stance and shielded Qin Yangjun.

“Young master spared your life, and you dare to come back?”

Yin Kang Xuehan’s nose tingled as she looked at Ah Ling.

The demonic aura on Ah Ling reminded her of their mother. That familiar feeling couldn’t be wrong.

“I didn’t expect you to grow up so fast.”

Ah Ling was puzzled by her words.

“What do you mean?”

Without another word, Yin Kang Xuehan turned around. On her right shoulder was a plum blossom mark, like a birthmark.

Ah Ling’s expression shifted slightly.

She had one too, but on her left shoulder.

Qin Yangjun took a step back. This was not the time to interfere with the sisters’ reunion.

“You… who are you?”

Yin Kang Xuehan’s eyes glistened with tears.

“I’m your sister, Ling.”

“I… I have a sister?”

“………………..”

Qin Yangjun stood quietly to the side, watching the sisters reunite.

This was actually a deviation from the original plot. In the original story, Ah Ling never recognized Yin Kang Xuehan, and because of their differing stances, they became enemies.

In the end, Yin Kang Xuehan could only watch as her sister was devoured by ten thousand insects, crying helplessly.

Bringing Ah Ling to Canggu City this time had changed the story. What would happen next?

Just then, Yin Kang Xuehan tried to approach. Ah Ling’s eyes flashed with determination.

Scenes of her wandering in Canggu City flashed before her eyes. Bitterness welled up in her heart.

She once again assumed a fighting stance.

“Don’t come closer! Whoever you are, if you threaten young master’s safety, you’re my enemy!”

Ah Ling glared fiercely at the woman before her, but tears were already forming at the corners of her eyes.

“Ling…”

Yin Kang Xuehan stood frozen. Ah Ling’s eyes told her many things.

She didn’t know where to begin to explain the hardships she and their mother had endured.

As the two were at a standoff, Qin Yangjun’s gaze shifted to the sky.

Yin Kang Xuehan and Ah Ling also sensed something. Both looked in the same direction.

Many powerful auras were approaching!

Qin Yangjun unhurriedly took out a token from his hand.

A flash of light, and the formation surrounding the Blazing Pyre opened a gap behind them.

Then Qin Yangjun looked at Yin Kang Xuehan.

“Coming?”

Yin Kang Xuehan was already a Mahayana cultivator. The things inside that could enhance cultivation were useless to her. And she couldn’t snatch the treasure Qin Yangjun wanted without the Demon King remains.

So whether she followed or not didn’t affect his plan.

He invited her because he didn’t want this reunion to end ambiguously.

Qin Yangjun had no selfish motives. It was all for Ling’er.

Yin Kang Xuehan frowned slightly.

“You don’t seem worried at all…”

Qin Yangjun said nothing. He wasn’t surprised the demon kings were coming.

Before, Little Peng King had kept them in check. Now they probably knew Little Peng King was dead.

The reason they had retreated earlier was because Little Peng King died. Their mission was just to hold off Zhuang Hancheng and the others. With Little Peng King dead, their fight was meaningless.

The demon race operated on survival of the fittest. Without Little Peng King, the White Gold clan had lost its deterrent power.

This ruin seemed like an ownerless treasure to them, an irresistible temptation.

They only came now, likely because the White Gold clan’s territory had already been divided.

Time was tight. If those demon kings sensed his presence, it would be troublesome.

Yin Kang Xuehan would definitely follow for Ling’er’s sake.

Thinking this, Qin Yangjun felt his invitation was somewhat redundant.

He simply turned and stepped into the ruin. Ah Ling, with a complicated expression, glanced at Yin Kang Xuehan and followed.

Yin Kang Xuehan looked back, then at the entrance slowly closing.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and chose to follow.

As soon as they entered the ruin, a wave of heat rushed at them. In the middle was a wide stone bridge. On both sides were sculptures of unknown birds, and lava rolled below.

Under the lava, they could see unknown creatures swimming. Their pitch-black scales were strikingly visible in the lava.

Yin Kang Xuehan frowned.

“Spirit-Devouring Pythons…”

An adult Spirit-Devouring Python could reach the peak of Golden Core. But with such a huge number, even in her prime, it would be troublesome to deal with.

At that moment, the pythons below seemed to notice them. One by one, their heads rose, tongues flickering. Hundreds of cold gazes fixed on them.

Ah Ling’s face showed fear. But seeing Qin Yangjun striding ahead, she suppressed her fear and followed.

The pythons below grew restless. Flames ignited on their heads.

This was a sign of an impending attack.

“Don’t make such big movements, you’ll alert…”

Before Yin Kang Xuehan could finish,

Qin Yangjun raised his hand. The token that had opened the ruin appeared in his hand.

With a flash, a red bird shadow appeared above him. The red bird let out a soft cry.

The restless pythons gradually calmed down and all dove back into the lava.

The Crimson Fire Token.

She had heard of this item from other demon kings before. It was said to be a treasure, but no one knew its function. She hadn’t expected it to be used here.

But if even she, a demon, didn’t know about it, how did Qin Yangjun, a human cultivator, understand it so well?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the surroundings began to shake violently. Yin Kang Xuehan knew the demon kings outside couldn’t hold back anymore. Without the Crimson Fire Token, they had to break in by force.

From the aura she had sensed earlier, all eight demon kings had come. Given their methods, breaking through this ruin was just a matter of time.

It seemed Qin Yangjun planned to take the treasure inside first.

But after he got it, how would he escape? And if he let her follow, wasn’t he afraid she would snatch it?

Too many questions swirled in Yin Kang Xuehan’s mind. She had to admit this was the first time she was so interested in a man.

So she quickened her pace to catch up with Qin Yangjun.

She wanted to see what he was really up to.
