Chapter 2002: Chapter 2002: Falling Phoenix Mountain

"You can leave now!"

Bai Xiaofan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, speaking to the second-ranked demon alien.

"Thank you for sparing my life, sir!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, the second-ranked demon alien happily bowed to Bai Xiaofan and swiftly fled into the distance!

Watching the figure of the second-ranked demon alien escape, Jin Yi wanted to give chase, but was concerned about angering Bai Xiaofan, so he decided against it!

"What? You have something to say?"

At this moment, Bai Xiaofan turned his gaze to Jin Yi, asking casually.

"I just feel that letting this demon alien go is akin to letting a tiger return to the mountain. This is the land of the demon aliens, and once this one leaves, he’ll surely try to bring more demon aliens to assassinate us!"

Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Jin Yi pondered slightly before speaking softly to Bai Xiaofan.

"Precisely because this is the land of the demon aliens, I must let him go. No matter how many companions he brings, I will slay that many demon aliens. This way, when I reach the vicinity of the ancient well, the pressure will be relatively less!"

Bai Xiaofan said quietly and turned to fly towards Yuan’er and her companions.

"Sir, wait a moment, I wonder if I may follow you? I am the eldest son of the current Clan Leader of the Roc Bird clan. I ventured out this time but accidentally wandered into this lifeless forest. Had it not been for your intervention, I might already have fallen to the hands of those demon aliens!"

Jin Yi hurriedly caught up, speaking respectfully to Bai Xiaofan.

Bai Xiaofan’s exhibited strength was clear to him, and he knew that his only chance to leave this place alive was to cling to Bai Xiaofan.

"Where is the address of your Roc Bird clan? I happen to know an elder from your clan, and he entrusted me with a token to deliver to your Roc Bird clan!"

Bai Xiaofan stood with hands behind his back, looking at Jin Yi who had caught up.

"Three hundred kilometers northwest of the lifeless forest, there’s a mountain called Falling Phoenix Mountain, where our Roc Bird clan resides!"

Jin Yi did not hide anything in response to Bai Xiaofan’s question, speaking truthfully. He believed Bai Xiaofan held no malice towards him or the Roc Bird clan, and forming an alliance with Bai Xiaofan would greatly help him in becoming the next Clan Leader of the Roc Bird clan.

Falling Phoenix Mountain?

Bai Xiaofan remembered seeing it on the map drawn by Salca!

However, he had heard that the demonic aura in Falling Phoenix Mountain was extremely strong, and many powerhouses awaited there, having arrived from the Beast Continent. Numerous powerhouses from Magic Fiend Sea dared not venture recklessly!

While the danger level wasn’t as terrifying as this lifeless forest, it still made many cultivators tremble at the mention of it!

No wonder he couldn’t find any specific info; he was searching for the Roc Bird clan that resided here all along!

"Then follow me now, but a quick note, in the near term, I won’t be leaving this lifeless forest. If you wish to leave, I can temporarily protect you, help you recover, and then you should be able to leave on your own due to your strength!"

Bai Xiaofan nodded, acknowledging the former elder’s sentiment, caring somewhat for Jin Yi.

"Since you have ties to my clan’s elder, I humbly ask to join you, sir. Besides, I would like to seize the opportunity to strengthen myself and strive for the understanding to break through to the Unity realm!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s offer, Jin Yi respectfully spoke to him, deeply troubled by the lack of progress despite his peak Fractured God realm when he left Falling Phoenix Mountain.

Having witnessed Bai Xiaofan’s prowess, his resolve to train under Bai Xiaofan was solidified. As for possible dangers, Jin Yi was unworried!

If he were afraid of death, he wouldn’t have dared venture into this lifeless forest!

"That’s fine, let’s go. I have a few more friends over there!"

Bai Xiaofan nodded, leading Jin Yi back to where Yuan’er and the others were.

Seeing the three beauties present, Jin Yi was initially dazed but managed to compose himself quickly!

As the Clan Leader’s son, Jin Yi knew certain women shouldn’t be trifled with, like Yuan’er, Silver Robe, and Ye Mei. Their presence with Bai Xiaofan suggested their bond was extraordinary; any misstep could provoke Bai Xiaofan’s wrath!

"Master, you’re finally back. If you didn’t return sooner, we’d have gone looking for you!"

Upon Bai Xiaofan’s return, Yuan’er immediately embraced him joyfully, saying.

"Looking for me? I wasn’t lost, how are your conditions coming along?"

Bai Xiaofan ruffled Yuan’er’s hair gently, then looked at Silver Robe and Ye Mei.

"Let’s keep moving forward. As for this guy, you may call him Jin Yi, a new recruit of mine!"

Bai Xiaofan casually said, turning to continue forward!

Jin Yi’s sudden inclusion was met with no doubt or further inquiry from the three women, barely acknowledging his presence as if he was invisible!

Jin Yi felt quite speechless, given that he was regarded as an attractive man, now rendered unnoticed by Yuan’er and the others!

Yet after glancing at Bai Xiaofan ahead, Jin Yi understood why they viewed him as mere air; he indeed paled in comparison to Bai Xiaofan!

As they progressed, the encountered demon aliens grew in strength, advancing from early to late Fractured God realm, making things increasingly difficult for Yuan’er and her group!

But with Jin Yi’s presence, they managed to cope, holding their ground till they might face peak Fractured God realm aliens; Bai Xiaofan was yet to need to intervene!

Jin Yi strived to showcase himself, hoping to catch Yuan’er’s attention, but to little effect!

"Sir, around a hundred kilometers ahead, we’ll formally enter the core territory of the demon aliens, where they all might be at peak Fractured God realm strength!"

Looking at the toxic surroundings and the hidden powerful enemies around the lifeless forest, Jin Yi spoke softly to Bai Xiaofan!

"How far do you estimate before encountering demon aliens at Unity realm?"

Bai Xiaofan stood with hands behind, inquiring from Jin Yi beside him!

Being the Clan Leader’s son, Jin Yi might possess unique insights, allowing Bai Xiaofan a glimpse into the legacy of the elder’s descendant!
