Wild Dogs

Yang Fan looked at her calmly.

"Palace Master, this is natural. This is my inner demon tribulation, naturally caused by the illusion created by my inner demon."

He spoke with righteous indignation.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, but at that moment, the remaining physical body of the inner demon exploded instantly.

Caught off guard, her consciousness was injured by the explosion.

Yang Fan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but the moment his hand touched Xiao Ling's consciousness, countless memories flooded into his mind like a tide.

He forgot that at this moment, the two were just two divine senses. Once they touched, it would be a divine sense interaction, and the memories would naturally be transmitted.

When Xiao Ling was injured, her memories flooded back to Yang Fan.

She was struck dumb, flung Yang Fan's hand away, and desperately took a few steps back.

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and rushed out without hesitation.

Yang Fan disregarded everything else and withdrew his divine sense back into his body, controlling the condensation of the golden core.

A moment later, the golden core absorbed the spiritual energy and completely condensed into a golden core.

Strands of spiritual energy shot straight into the sky, and the vortex of spiritual energy above Yang Fan's head suddenly exploded.

With a loud bang, the entire secret chamber shook, and even Xiao Ling, who had just withdrawn her divine sense, was knocked to the ground.

After she returned to her body, she was initially filled with shame and indignation, but after sensing Yang Fan's change, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Yang Fan finally became a Core Formation cultivator.

"Palace Master, are you alright?"

Yang Fan hurriedly got up to help him up.

Xiao Ling was filled with shame and indignation, her face flushed red, and she slapped his hand away.

"I can get up without your help."

She hurriedly got up, glaring at Yang Fan with gritted teeth, but quickly turned away after seeing him clearly.

"You idiot, don't you know how to put on some clothes?"

Yang Fan hurriedly lowered his head. Because he had just absorbed all the surrounding spiritual energy into his body to condense his golden core, the spiritual energy clothing on his body had been directly absorbed into it, leaving him somewhat naked.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and bowed to Xiao Ling.

"I apologize for my rudeness to the Palace Master."

Xiao Ling waved her hand.

"Are you dressed yet?"

Yang Fan nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, I'm all dressed."

She turned around and saw that he was already dressed, and then she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Very good, you've finally broken through to the Core Formation stage."

Xiao Ling spoke, her voice trembling.

Clearly, what had just happened was far too shocking for Xiao Ling.

All her secrets were exposed to Yang Fan, which made her feel extremely ashamed and indignant.

She looked at Yang Fan, a dangerous glint in her eyes, clearly hesitating whether or not to kill him.

Sensing that something was wrong, Yang Fan immediately responded by respectfully bowing to Xiao Lingshen.

"In any case, I am very grateful to you today, senior. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to break through to the Core Formation stage."

"I will definitely repay this kindness if I have the opportunity."

Xiao Ling waved her hand.

"It's nothing, ultimately it's because you're strong enough."

"Although I helped you a bit, ultimately it's your own strength that matters."

She glanced at Yang Fan.

"But to be honest, your spiritual sense is indeed quite strong, much stronger than I imagined."

"Even this inner demon tribulation is far beyond imagination."

Yang Fan quickly offered a self-deprecating remark, saying that compared to Xiao Ling, he was merely a firefly compared to the sunlight.

Xiao Ling shook her head, and after a long while, reason returned to her mind.

She understood that Yang Fan was crucial to what was to come and that there could be no mistakes.

She let out a long breath and looked at Yang Fan intently.

"You should understand that some things are just illusions."

"If you take this illusion seriously and spread rumors everywhere, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Yang Fan understood what she meant and quickly nodded.

"Of course, it's just that there's something wrong with my illusion. I just need to be careful."

He respectfully bowed to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling was naturally pleased with Yang Fan's tactful manner.

She nodded and calmly walked out of the secret room.

As she reached the door, she turned back.

"Alright, you can stay here and focus on your cultivation for a while longer."

"I'll let you know when it's almost time to leave."

After saying that, Xiao Ling walked out of the secret room, and the heavy sound of the door closing echoed out.

Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh, then became excited again.

Through his contact with Xiao Ling, he finally understood.

The relationship between Xiao Ling and Luo Changhe is not simply one of female dominance and male subservience.

Xiao Ling has most likely had many male lovers outside, but she is extremely concerned about her image and never reveals this.

He shook his head, a hint of ecstasy appearing on his face.

He never expected to break through to the Core Formation stage so quickly.

Although he experienced many twists and turns, he even had to rely on Xiao Ling's divine sense to help him.

But Yang Fan eventually succeeded in forming his core, and excitedly waved his fists repeatedly.

All the hard work along the way was finally worth it.

However, the thought of being imprisoned here made him sigh again.

When will this cage ever end?

Moreover, if I were to actually help them enter the Heavenly Mystery Palace, I would likely become even more vulnerable to their control.

In that instant, Yang Fan made up his mind.

Once inside the Heavenly Mystery Palace, I must find a way to break free from their control, no matter what.

Of course, this curse mark must also be removed; otherwise, even if you escape, it will be in vain.

It will still burst its body due to the cursed seal.

He then sat down cross-legged and began to look inward, wanting to first see where the curse mark was located.

His divine sense swept through his body, and he realized that he hadn't even been able to pinpoint the exact location of the curse seal before.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, the situation was indeed different; he found the complete incantation seal on his head.

The curse mark is like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone; removing it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He tried to approach the cursed seal with his spiritual energy, and as soon as his divine sense touched it, the cursed seal seemed to come alive and twisted wildly.

He hurriedly withdrew his spiritual energy, realizing that his current cultivation level was insufficient to remove the thing.

He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged; if he couldn't remove the curse mark, there was no point in trying to escape.

The focus should still be on Luo Changhe; it would be best if he could voluntarily remove the curse seal.

He stood up and paced back and forth, pondering how to win over Luo Changhe.

Luo Changhe held a very low position in the Hundred Flowers Palace, and his wife and daughter disliked him.

Only Yang Fan still had some respect for him, and this could be taken advantage of.

Moreover, Yang Fan had other things in his possession.

Judging from the previous situation, Xiao Ling had many lovers behind the scenes, and may even still be entangled with them to this day.

No man can tolerate his wife having an affair with someone else.

If this matter is revealed to Luo Changhe, he will definitely do everything in his power to take revenge.

At that time, Yang Fan would be his potential helper, after all, he himself was also a Core Formation cultivator.

As long as he becomes Yang Fan's helper, Luo Changhe will surely remove the restrictions on him.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
