Song Yan said, "Fine, fine, looking at you like this, you don't want to reveal anything. Well... that's how it is. Now that a heavenly disaster is descending, a human having an expert is ultimately a blessing for all beings, I won't make things difficult for you."

With that, he turned around and walked away.

At this departure, the Black Lotus Elder was stunned.

But Song Yan walked swiftly, rushing out of the Black Lotus Array without a trace of hesitation, disappearing from the Black Lotus Elder's perception.

Han Cai'Er let out a long breath, feeling as though surviving a catastrophe.

But when she looked at the Black Lotus Elder again, she found that the latter was already drenched in sweat, not only that, but large drops of sweat were still dripping out, flowing along the fissured lines of wrinkled skin.

Gulp...

Han Cai'Er heard the Black Lotus Elder swallow, this was a sign of extreme nervousness, extreme hesitation.

"Foster father, what's wrong? Did that old demon secretly attack you?" Han Cai'Er immediately became alert.

The Black Lotus Elder said tremulously, "He didn't attack."

Han Cai'Er said in amazement, "Then... then what's this with you?"

The Black Lotus Elder stammered, "I... I... I... why didn't he attack?"

Han Cai'Er found it increasingly strange and said with a smile and tears, "Foster father, are you actually hoping he would attack? If you're worried that he hasn't left, we should stay vigilant a while longer. But since he did not attack just now, then ten out of ten, he won't attack after all. Because he doesn't have a reason to attack."

The Black Lotus Elder suddenly slapped his wheelchair, roaring, "He has!! He has!!!"

As soon as he finished, the elder rushed out like mad, using magic to shout loudly, "Senior! Stop!! The elixir in your hand, I took the wrong one!!!"

Han Cai'Er watched this scene dumbfounded.

She suddenly understood.

Her foster father did not know that the old demon had come, but to be safe, he displayed in mid-air a fake "Heaven-Damaging Pill." Thus... if the old demon came and snatched the Heaven-Damaging Pill, it would be a fake.

The old demon who got the Heaven-Damaging Pill would surely kill to silence witnesses, and at this time the foster father could take the real Heaven-Damaging Pill out to threaten the old demon, thus engaging in the final gamble and fight.

However, the foster father never expected that the old demon would just leave after taking the Heaven-Damaging Pill.

This departure was not a problem, but if the old demon discovered the deception, he would definitely return, turning good fortune into bad, which would lead to an unending death-deal in the future!

"This... this..."

Han Cai'Er was suddenly at a loss.

The development of the situation far exceeded her imagination.

At this moment, she also soared with sword control, trailing far behind, then continued with the Black Lotus Elder, searching around while shouting "Senior, stop!"

The two searched for a full incense stick's time, but still failed to find Song Yan, and when they met again, both were faceless and desolate.

The Black Lotus Elder slapped himself heavily on the face, extremely remorseful.

And just then, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The Black Lotus Elder looked up and saw the familiar figure, letting out a long breath.

Song Yan frowned and said, "I was just about to find a place around here to consume the elixir when I heard someone yelling, so I came over to see. What's the matter, is there something else?"

The Black Lotus Elder hesitated slightly, quickly grabbed a new porcelain bottle from the storage bag, then respectfully presented it, saying, "Senior, this bottle is the Heaven-Damaging Pill, I made a mistake with the previous one."

Song Yan gave him a deep look, then lifted his hand to grab it, his expression cold, his voice low, "Again and again..."

Before he finished speaking, the Black Lotus Elder hurriedly said, "Senior, don't be angry, as compensation, I am willing to tell the origin of this Four-Petaled Black Lotus Fire to Senior."

Song Yan landed and said, "Then speak."

The Black Lotus Elder narrated slowly.

Song Yan listened, his eyes gradually narrowed, understanding the whole story.

This Black Lotus Elder was originally a member of a hidden ancient race family in the Star Luo Domain, but one day, his ancient race suddenly cut off its connection with the world and connected to a soul threshold.

Netherworld corpse demons came from deep within the soul threshold, and his clan fought with all their might, but despite exhausting their trump cards, they still suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing imminent defeat, he, as the family's genius, fled with the family head in the Tumor Realm, hoping to find a way out, but ended up encountering a strange Netherworld corpse demon somewhere.

The Netherworld corpse demon resembled a black sculpture standing in the snow, then suddenly attacked madly when sensing their approach.

After the family head died protecting him, the Netherworld corpse demon suddenly stopped, then suddenly knelt down, its abdomen starting to melt.

The Netherworld corpse demon leaned back, and from its ruptured belly... bloomed a bizarre and eerie pitch-black lotus flower.

The lotus opened eight petals in the Tumor Realm snow, slowly turning into four petals, then slowly becoming a black fire seed.

The then Black Lotus Elder had no way out, driven by the thought of a last-ditch effort, began trying to refine that black fire seed, unexpectedly succeeding.

But when he returned to the family, he found the entire clan extinguished.

He used that bit of black fire seed to escape, burned open the secret realm's mirror wall during a weak moment of the soul threshold, and escaped.

Afterwards, under his deliberate nurture, the black fire seed slowly recovered its four petals.

And only then did the Black Lotus Elder suddenly realize the flame he nurtured was a demon, for it would often lose control, not only killing, but also harming himself.

"Senior, look at me now, how old do I seem?"

The Black Lotus Elder asked with a bitter smile.

And without waiting for an answer, he said himself, "I am now three hundred and forty-six years old, but my end is near. Yet I am at the Late Stage of Purple Mansion; I should have a thousand years of lifespan.

As for the Divine Infant Realm... I have tried to seek Profound Yellow Material in the void, but for some reason, as soon as I enter the void, I feel an inexplicable heart palpitation.
