The red snake is around the white city

At the time, this matter caused a great uproar, stirring up massive waves across the entire Yao Beast world.

No Yao Beast was willing to believe that a human could come and go freely on Sacred Beast Mountain.

But the truth was indeed so.

This Cultivator named Lu Ya not only took a stroll on the Sacred Mountain, but also took away the junior with the purest Bloodline from the Tianwu Clan.

What made it even harder for the various Yao Beasts to accept was that at the time, Lu Ya only had the cultivation of the Early Stage Nascent Soul.

This made the matter seem all the more absurd.

Let alone the Early Stage Nascent Soul, what if it was even the Nascent Soul Perfection?

Any adult Yao Beast on Sacred Beast Mountain could easily swat them to death with a slight movement of their hand.

How could they allow such a human Cultivator to be so arrogant?

Although there were rumors later on that the reason Lu Ya could freely enter and exit the Southern Underworld Sacred Beast Mountain was because he had obtained the tacit consent of Emperor One.

It still couldn't put the various Yao Beasts at ease.

As the nominal Dominator of the entire Yao Beast ethnicity, Emperor One's status was truly revered.

How many young Yao Beasts with pure Bloodlines and innate talents could not even enter Emperor One's Dharma Eye.

By what right did this mere human Cultivator do so?

Thus, the uproar over this matter only gradually subsided after more than a decade.

The name Lu Ya was also completely etched into the hearts of many, many Yao Beasts.

Although the Roc was naturally forgetful, when "Lu Ya" and Emperor One's jade token appeared at the same time, it instantly recalled the past events of those years.

"It seems the rumors are indeed not false; Lu Ya really has a profound relationship with Lord Emperor One…" The Roc let out a strange laugh, flapped its wings, and flew into the Sacred Mountain following Xu Ke.

Within this Southern Underworld Sacred Beast Mountain, there seemed to be a certain special energy that was extremely beneficial to Yao Beasts.

The closer he got to it, the more spirited Li Fan felt.

Deep within his body, something seemed to be joyfully leaping, making him feel his blood boiling with endless strength.

The Azure Luan Bird beneath Xu Ke was the same.

She let out a clear cry carrying an uncontainable joy, and her flight speed instantly increased by a few notches.

In an instant, they arrived abruptly.

Xu Ke and his party had already entered the perimeter of Sacred Beast Mountain when, without any warning, Xiaoqing suddenly stiffened in mid-air and stopped moving.

At the same time, Li Fan also felt a fatal crisis surge into his heart.

On the contrary, Xu Ke seemed completely oblivious to the danger, still shouting excitedly, "Little Black, look quickly, what is that!"

Li Fan's body was as if petrified, unable to move, and he could only barely roll his eyes to look in the direction guided by Xu Ke.

As far as the eye could see, a snake of enormous size was coiled and entwined around Sacred Beast Mountain.

Its entire body was fiery red, striking and extremely eerie.

The red snake's body was immensely huge, and what climbed and coiled around Sacred Beast Mountain seemed to be only a part of its endlessly long body.

The vast majority was hidden within the cyan South Abyss seawater.

It made one look upon it with awe and fear.

Yet before entering the Southern Underworld Sacred Beast Mountain, none of them had been able to discover the tracks of such a peerless Vicious Beast.

It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.

The red snake's single eye was at this moment staring at the Azure Luan Bird and the human intruders upon her with its cold, emotionless eyes.

The immense pressure forced Li Fan to subconsciously follow his bodily instincts and close his eyes.

Xu Ke, however, was completely unafraid, as if he couldn't feel the other party's terror at all, opening his eyes wide to stare back at the red snake.

After a stalemate for a moment, a faint radiance emitted from the jade token in Xu Ke's bosom.

The red snake's gaze shifted slightly, and then it closed its single eye.

In a split second, the Azure Luan Bird recovered her ability to move.

Li Fan also felt the pressure on his body suddenly vanish, and couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

When he looked again, that massive red snake, larger than a mountain, had already lost its trace.

It was as if that spine-chilling scene just now was merely everyone's illusion.

But Li Fan knew that the single-eyed red snake was still coiled upon Sacred Beast Mountain.

It was just that they turned a blind eye to it and were unable to see it.

"If not for that Emperor One jade token, I'm afraid even with Dao Integration cultivation, coming here would mean either death or severe injury." Li Fan was secretly shocked.

Xu Ke, however, was carefree and completely oblivious, urging the Azure Luan Bird to land in the mountains.

"Phew! It feels so comfortable here." Not long after, Xu Ke, stepping on the ground, took a deep breath and exclaimed.

Knowing that staying on Sacred Beast Mountain had inexplicable benefits for Yao Beasts.

Therefore, this time he didn't put Xiaoqing away either, only letting her transform into a tiny size and setting up a temporary nest for her next to Li Fan.

Li Fan glanced at the other party, but in his mind, the appearance of the Azure Saint Master from thousands of years later in the real world suddenly surfaced.

With a slight smile, he ignored her.

Xiaoqing seemed somewhat afraid of Li Fan, this Heavenly Fate Blackbird, and occasionally her gaze looking at him held some dread.

She also actively maintained a certain distance, not daring to get too close.

Xu Ke temporarily put the two birds atop his head aside and ran along the mountain path toward the magnificent giant city overhead.

Along the way, one could see many, many bizarre-looking Yao Beasts.

A horse's body with bird wings, a human face and a snake tail; its shape is like a tiger, and its sound is like a howling dog; its shape is like a crow, with three heads and six tails; its shape is like a deer with a white tail, horse's feet and human hands with four horns…

Even some Yao Beasts were spirits formed from flowers, wood, grass, and trees, lacking Yao Beast Qi, looking filled with Immortal Qi and exceptionally sacred.

But no matter how ferocious these Yao Beasts looked or how menacing their Qi was, on this small mountain path, they were all without exception extremely restrained and cautiously walking slowly forward.

Not daring to have any excessive transgressions.

Therefore, Xu Ke's behavior of scampering around wildly was particularly eye-catching.

Some Yao Beasts had murderous intent in their eyes, wanting to teach the little tot Xu Ke a lesson.

But seeming to sense the Qi of Emperor One on his body, not a single beast ultimately took action.

Thus, they let Xu Ke trot all the way to the foot of the city at the summit.

This city on the Sacred Mountain was made of unknown Materials. Its entire body was snow-white, appearing holy and solemn in the sunlight.

Outside the White City was originally just a High Wall without any doors.

But when the various beasts approached, a face suddenly revealed itself.

It opened its big mouth, revealing a pitch-black passage.

Xu Ke instantly stopped in his tracks.

He stretched out his head, peering into the interior of the passage.

Yet he couldn't see anything clearly.

Just as he was muttering, there was an exotic beast beside him with a mocking expression, walking straight inside.

Xu Ke curled his lips, and right then he was no longer afraid.

He followed them into the White City of the Sacred Mountain.

The light disappeared, and then lit up once more.

"You guys follow me!"

A milky voice suddenly rang in Li Fan's ears.

He saw ahead that a child who looked only about five or six years old, extremely cute and exquisitely carved like jade with an indistinguishable gender, was standing with hands on hips and speaking to Xu Ke.
