Lonemoon paused and turned back to survey him, something seemed to be coming up yet he couldn’t catch onto it.

Until Chef suddenly reminded from beside him. “It’s demonic aura.”

He fell into a momentary daze before instantly understanding where was the problem. This was Void Land, as it was overly disordered, the demon monsters here do not have demonic auras. Instead, it was a chaotic aura that even they couldn’t differentiate apart. Just like the monster in the mystic realm and the peach blossom demon from the previous time, there was completely no demonic aura on them.

However, Ling Wen Xuan’s injury was really and truly affected by demonic aura. He had mixed elixirs into the medicine to dispel the demonic aura in his dantian before he could recover. It means that… the demon monster that they had dealt with was a true demon monster! Just like the ones in their planes, demon monsters that came with demonic aura.

Lonemoon looked at the egg shell in his hands. Only spirit seeds of the original source can breed pure demon monsters. It was impossible just based on this egg shell alone, which means this spirit seed had indeed been in this egg at the start. No! He should say that it was once in the Flame Mountain, that was why it caused those demon monsters to carry demonic aura. And it was brought back to the nest by that demon monster, only it disappeared after?

“Huh?” Ling Wen Xuan paused for a moment and suddenly looked towards the empty egg in Lonemoon’s hand, subconsciously commenting, “Why does it feel like the energy in this egg lessened by a lot?” He said confusedly, “I remember when I first saw this egg, the energy in it was a lot more concentrated.”

Lonemoon turned back and glanced at me, instantly becoming more sure of his own idea. “Fellow Daoist Wen Xuan, may I know the specific location of that Flame Mountain?

“Flame Mountain is in the Northern region, closer to the west.” Ling Wen Xuan replied, “It’s about a thousand miles from Yang City.”

“Thank you for letting us know.” Lonemoon nodded. “We have something urgent to see to, we shall not disturb you any longer and leave first.”

The few people got up, intending to leave yet Ling Wen Xuan stood up directly and asked with some anxiety. “Are all of you really setting off for Flame Mountain?”

Lonemoon felt that there no longer any need to hide it and nodded. “Mm, there are some things we have to get to the bottom of.”

“That area is way too dangerous and the terrain is complicated…” He looked worried and gritted out after some thought. “Why don’t I follow along? It’ll be easier to show you all the way too.”

It was best to have someone lead the way, Lonemoon glanced at him but still shook his head in the end. “It’s alright, you’re also a disciple of Immortal Spirit Academy, it’s not good if you just leave like this.” This academy was almost like a sect, he was already being disliked because of his injuries, even Ling Hong and the others were often being targeted as a result, there was no need to create more trouble for them.

“But…” He was still a little worried. seeing that they really did not need him to lead the way, he thought for a while and said, “Then please hold on for a moment.” He suddenly turned into a room at the side, brought out his ink and brush and started to draw quickly. A short while later, he walked over with two pieces of paper. “This is map for the route to Flame Mountain, this other one is the terrain of Flame Mountain that I drew based on my memory, it might be useful.”

Lonemoon took a glance, the map was very detailedly drawn, even the location where they found the demon monster was marked out, it was indeed something they needed. “Thank you Wen Xuan.”

“It’s what I ought to do.” He smiled, then pulled out a communication jade token. “If there’s still anything you’re unclear of, you can contact me using this jade token.”

Lonemoon also took and nodded before leaving with Shen Ying and Chef.

Taking a detailed look at the map, the few of them headed in the direction of Flame Mountain. As they could not teleport, they could only sword-ride. Yet the closer they flew towards the north, the hotter it got. Even the terrains became increasingly barren, the ground a sea of withered yellow, even the occasional vegetation spotted were shriveled droopy, as if their dispositions had been killed by the sun.

They flew for a couple of days, the odd thing was that the scenery beneath suddenly changed as huge areas of green forests appeared. Though it was still scorching, but it seemed like the entire world had come to live again, the surroundings were breathing with vitality.

Yi Qing frowned and glanced down at the forest, then could not help but spoke up, “Father Niu, in this forest…”

Lonemoon’s face also darkened beside him. “There is demonic auras everywhere in this forest, seems there’s more than one demon monster that carries demonic aura.”

The two of them exchanged a glance, then sped up in the direction of Flame Mountain, spending another half day’s time before they arrived at their destination. From far they could see a huge volcano, fiery red flares could occasionally be seen at the peak, above it was clouds of black smoke.

Before them was a boundless forest, filled with dense vegetation all around and it was blazing hot yet there seemed to be thick clouds of fog in the forest, making it resemble a fairyland. But all these were different in Yi Qing and Lonemoon’s eyes, other than the white fog, the demonic aura in this forest was the most concentrated that they’d seen throughout the entire journey.

Though it wasn’t like the demon realm they’d seen in their plane in the past, but based on the appearance of this forest, there were demon monsters that were at least eighth-level and above.

Lonemoon brought out the second map, after a careful comparison, he released his divine perception to sweep across the entire forest before pointing towards the right, saying, “That’s where they found the spirit seed.”

With that said, they turned and flew in that direction. Within moments, a small and clear lake appeared before them, though they called it a lake, it was actually not much bigger than a pond. Only in the middle of it was an island tens of meters wide. It was where Ling Wen Xuan marked out that they found the spirit seed.

Three of them landed at once, indeed, once they touched the ground, they felt a hint of Qi of the original source rush over. This small island wasn’t big, everything could be seen in one look. There was a massive nest in the trees on the island, the Qi of the original source came from there, but the nest was empty.

Lonemoon circled around the huge nest, it was evident that there used to be a demon monster here but now even the surrounding demonic aura was very faint.

“Chef, have you got any findings?” Lonemoon looked towards the person beside him.

Chef shook his head. “The Qi of the original source should be remnants from ages ago, the spirit seed hasn’t been here for a long time.”

Does that mean that this was another futile trip?

Lonemoon was slightly irritated, turning towards Shen Ying, he asked, “Foodie, can we reject this task regarding the spirit seed?” Anyway the spirit seed was Mi Le’s it had nothing to do with their plane.

Shen Ying cocked her head to a side, only replying with a sentence moments later. “Flower is very close to my sister!”

“And then…” What has it got to do with your sister?

She then said in all seriousness. “Then he will be a tattletale.”

“…” Motherf*cker!

This was the so-called friendship between classmates? Turns out it started from snitching to guardians and parents?
