My Lord God of War, your wife is attracting new lovers

Several people were lying on the edge of the mountain top, and witnessed several holy-level monsters being defeated by a fire monster lion. According to the past, when monsters fought each other, they would not stop until they beat the other to death and tore it into pieces.

However, the Fire Demon Lion did not kill those defeated beasts. Instead, it bit their necks one by one, sucking their blood, as well as the demonic energy mixed in the blood of these monsters.

The defeated monsters could only scream as their blood and qi were slowly sucked away and they died.

"Could this be the legendary Star-Absorbing Technique?" Luo Qingran muttered to herself, unable to express her complicated feelings at the moment.

"What is the Star-Absorbing Technique?" Mei Zi was lying next to Luo Qingran. She heard it very clearly and asked curiously.

Luo Qingran used her spiritual energy and waved her hand to cover the few people in a layer of isolation barrier, which could not only block out the breath but also the sound. Luo Qingran felt that this formation was tailor-made for her, so it was also the most proficient formation she used.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this barrier. Finally, they no longer had to be so cautious. So, everyone started discussing the scene they had just seen.

"I think the fire demon lion may have developed some simple ideas. At least it should have found a way to increase its strength, which is to absorb the blood and magic energy of its own kind," said Luo Qingran.

Mei Zi nodded gently. "They are all magical beasts, and the level difference is not that big. This flame magic lion was able to kill several magical beasts of the same level as itself overnight. This means that it must have encountered something that caused its strength to increase greatly, and its brain also changed."

“But for thousands of years, the brains of these monsters have been invaded by evil spirits and they have no thoughts at all. How can they regain their intelligence? Could it be that this magic lion got some kind of opportunity?” Xuanyuan Lei analyzed.

"After the great war between gods and demons a thousand years ago, demonic energy began to appear continuously in the depths of the Broken Soul Mountains. Although many experts have come to investigate, they have never come up with a result. Could this opportunity be the reason why the demonic energy appeared in the first place?"

Feng Qi said seriously, "After absorbing the Qi and blood of several other beasts just now, this Flame Demon Lion is about to advance. It is already at the Saint level, and if it advances again, it may even break through and become a Divine Beast."

After hearing Feng Qi's words, everyone was silent for a while. They all looked towards the flaming demon lion at the same time, only to find that the demon lion was also looking in their direction.

Everyone was startled. They were clearly inside the barrier, so why did they feel like they had been discovered?

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Lei's whole body froze, his face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled slightly, and he kept muttering: "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

The whispering sound attracted the attention of others, and when everyone saw Xuanyuan Lei's face, they were all shocked.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Lei Feng and Lei Yu had never seen their master like this before. They both held Xuanyuan Lei's arms and shook them continuously.

Luo Qingran didn't look at Xuanyuan Lei, but looked at the flame demon lion in the distance again. The demon lion was still looking at the top of the mountain where they were, but Luo Qingran had a feeling that the demon lion was looking at Xuanyuan Lei.

Before Luo Qingran could continue thinking deeply, the demon lion's gaze shifted to her. What Luo Qingran saw next was simply unbelievable.

That is, she actually saw the fire demon lion smile at her, in a playful, weird and meaningful way.

At this moment, Luo Qingran was absolutely certain that the flame demon lion had either become intelligent or possessed by something. That smile could make her soul tremble. It was too unbelievable and too unreasonable.

When Luo Qingran came back to his senses from the shock, the flaming demon lion had already turned around and ran towards the depths of the inner circle.

Mei Zi, who was standing next to him, had changed her position, and the person standing next to him now was Xiao Yin Zi, who had appeared from space at some point in time.

Xiao Yinzi squinted his fox eyes and looked in the direction where the Flame Demon Lion disappeared. He did not move for a long time. However, everyone in the barrier could feel the coldness and murderous intent emanating from Xiao Yinzi.

Even the nine tails behind him were constantly slapping the ground. Fortunately, the top of the mountain they were on was full of rocks, otherwise there would be flying sand and rocks.

Luo Qingran raised his hand and stroked Xiao Yinzi's head, "Do you know that demon lion?"

Xiao Yinzi finally came back to her senses after being comforted by Luo Qingran. She shook her head and said, "I don't know him."

Mei Zi complained: "Why are you being so cold if you don't know me? Someone who doesn't know me would think you two have some deep hatred for each other. Hurry up and stop being so cold. It's already cold enough on the top of the mountain. Do you want to freeze us into ice sculptures?"

Xiao Yinzi finally noticed that the people in the barrier were folding their arms and rubbing their arms. He quickly restrained his momentum and said sorry.

Then he turned around and walked towards Xuanyuan Lei. Xuanyuan Lei looked frightened. His face was pale, his lips were trembling, his eyes were dull and empty, and he shook his head from time to time, still muttering "How is this possible".

Lei Feng and Lei Yu, who had been accompanying Xuanyuan Lei, saw Xiao Yinzi coming towards them, and they were alert to block Xuanyuan Lei behind them. They did not forget that it was the nine-tailed fox in front of them that knocked his master away last night.

"You two lift his head up, I want to see his eyes." Xiao Yinzi walked up to Xuanyuan Lei and said.

Lei Feng and Lei Yu glanced at Luo Qingran. They knew that this nine-tailed fox was Luo Qingran's contracted beast and would not harm its master's friends. After they saw Luo Qingran nod, they slightly moved aside, but still held Xuanyuan Lei's arm.

Lei Feng slowly lifted Xuanyuan Lei's head a little, and Xiao Yinzi immediately came forward and carefully observed Xuanyuan Lei's two eyes. Indeed, as Luo Qingran said, there was a dark red circle around Xuanyuan Lei's pupils.

Of course, the vision of the divine beast's eyes is naturally sharper than that of humans, and it can see more things that the human eye cannot see, even in the dark night.

After a moment, Xiao Yinzi took a small step back and turned to Lei Feng and Lei Yu. After checking these two people, Xiao Yinzi already had the answer in his mind.

It seems his guess was confirmed.

Xiao Yinzi raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a hint of sneer, trying to get the skin of a tiger without knowing the tiger's identity.

Luo Qingran took out a heart-clearing pill and put it into Xuanyuan Lei's mouth. After that, they sat cross-legged in the barrier and waited for dawn before going down the mountain.

"Xiao Yinzi, why did I feel that the Fire Demon Lion glanced at me before it left?" Luo Qingran leaned against Xiao Yinzi's soft and comfortable body and communicated with him using his spiritual sense.

"Don't worry about the demon lion. It's just being controlled by someone. The more powerful one is not here." Xiao Yinzi gently covered Luo Qingran's legs with his big tail.

"Hmm? Something more powerful, you know?"

"I don't know."

"Are you hiding something from me again?" Luo Qingran was angry. He stood up and yelled directly at Xiao Yinzi.

Everyone else looked at them in confusion, and even Xuanyuan Lei finally regained his composure and calmed down.

"Ranran, I didn't mean to hide it from you. If you want to know, I will definitely tell you." Xiao Yinzi said helplessly, "When did you become so impatient? Come and sit down and I will tell you. Everyone is here."

As Xiao Yinzi said this, he rolled up his big tail and brought Luo Qingran back to his side. Mei Zi was very envious, but then she thought about her own little fish balls. They were so cold, so she decided to forget it.

Xiao Yinzi glanced at the people in front of him and said, "The monsters here are not as intelligent as you said, but the flame magic lion we saw is different. I guess it should be controlled by someone. And the person who controls it should be related to the Demon Realm."

"The Demonic Realm, isn't that in the Tianxuan Continent? How could it appear in Qianming?" Lei Feng asked.

Xiao Yinzi shook his head. "I don't feel the breath of the demons. If they were to go to Qianming, their strength would be suppressed to the peak of the Mo level. Once they were discovered by Qianming's people, it would be troublesome, so they would not come easily."

"Then how were they able to control that demon lion? Hey, do you think there might be a passage or a teleportation array connecting to the Demon Realm deep in the Soul-Breaking Mountains?" Luo Qingran raised the question in his mind.

Without having entered the deepest part of the Soul-Breaking Mountains, no one can guarantee whether these things exist or not. However, with their current strength, it is definitely impossible to enter the deepest part, and going there will only mean death.

At this point, all we can do is let Xuanyuan Lei return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, explain the situation here to Emperor Xuanyuan, and let him contact the leaders of various families or masters of various sects to go deep into the mountains again to see what is going on.

Xiao Yinzi shook his head. "I really don't know if the teleportation array and channel you mentioned exist, but I know that the demons have a kind of magic Gu that can control the behavior of people or monsters, but I don't know if that is the case with the demon lion."

After saying that, Xiao Yinzi glanced at Luo Qingran, then winked at Xuanyuan Lei.

Luo Qingran's heart sank. Could it be that Xuanyuan Lei was also poisoned by the evil poison?
