I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

Shen Xizhou was so anxious that he was pacing around in circles on the roof.

The system finally gave in.

【Ding. 】

A soft sound.

A long string of extremely complex array deduction formulas, along with star map directions and node spiritual energy conversion methods, were forcibly crammed into Shen Xizhou's mind.

The little black dragon stiffened.

My head felt like it was stuffed with a tangled mess, and it was throbbing painfully.

But he persevered.

Learn something new and apply it immediately.

The golden light in his eyes suddenly surged as he stared intently at the main array patterns on the third underground level.

The formulas in his mind were running wildly, and strands of spiritual energy were disassembled and reassembled in his pupils, extending into a void trajectory.

Half a cup of tea's time passed.

Shen Xizhou let out a long breath, and his golden vertical pupils returned to their original crimson color.

"I've figured it out."

He turned to look at Xu Nanyi, "You will be teleported to an abandoned obsidian mine thirty miles north of the city."

Xu Nanyi reached back and grabbed the dragon horn on his head.

Wow! You're amazing, little brother!

That's impressive talent; he can even see through such a high-level directional teleportation array at a glance.

Shen Xizhou straightened his small body, his tail quietly wagging behind him.

"Hehe, no, not really."

As long as the system teaches him quickly, he will always be his sister's most useful little brother!

Xu Nanyi tore open the Qiankun bag and took out a dark iron rod that she had picked up from somewhere, weighing it in her hand.

Tactics were deployed.

"so."

"You go and guard the exit of that abandoned mine, I'll stay here and guard the main entrance."

"No matter which way this kid goes after he finishes shopping, he's definitely going to get a beating tonight."

Shen Xizhou's facial features scrunched up in a frown.

He wasn't too happy about it; this was the main city of the Demon Realm, surrounded by spies from the ten great families.

Is it too dangerous to leave my sister here alone to guard this place?

After spending three days with her, he had figured out her temperament.

Just like Xiangxiang's mother, she responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and you absolutely cannot directly contradict her.

Shen Xizhou leaned over and rubbed his dragon horn against Xu Nanyi's wrist.

"But sister, you're only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage!"

His voice was low, carrying just the right amount of worry.

"That Wei Ke is already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, just one minor realm short."

"What if he doesn't use the teleportation array and comes out directly from the main gate? What if you can't defeat him by yourself?"

Xu Nanyi turned her head and her gaze fell on the two people's wrists, where there was an invisible mark.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Xu Nanyi grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"Don't we have this?"

She pointed to the symbiotic contract.

"As long as the distance is no more than half of the Demon Realm, the other party's location can be pinpointed through this contract mark."

"And it can also be used for forced teleportation."

Xu Nanyi made the final decision.

"Go and guard the mine first. If he tries to enter through the main entrance, and I feel he's struggling, I'll immediately use the contract to pull you over."

"We siblings team up, and we can't even beat one arrogant jerk like him?"

Shen Xizhou touched the mark on his wrist, and his fingertips could feel a slight burning sensation.

That's a good idea.

"it is good."

Shen Xizhou nodded, "Then I'll go first. Sister, please be careful and don't act rashly."

The little black dragon soared into the air, its form completely blending into the night, and flew silently towards the north of the city.

Xu Nanyi climbed back onto the roof.

……

The moonlight shone on the dark iron rod, giving it a chilling, cold glow.

The night breeze blew for a while.

The auction entrance below finally showed signs of activity.

The dazzling barrier slowly dissipated, and a few cultivators, wrapped in black cloaks, hurriedly poured out of the gate.

Xu Nanyi gripped the iron rod, her body pressed against the roof tiles, her eyes quickly scanning the crowd.

No.

They stared for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but still couldn't spot the figure in the flashy blue brocade robe.

Ran?

A sudden, burning sensation shot through my wrist.

The mark of the symbiotic contract glowed with a crimson light, making the skin sizzle.

That stupid bluebird must have bought some incredible treasure at the auction, and fearing being robbed when it left, it used a high-level directional teleportation array to escape.

The opportunity to put the sacks in place has come.

She gripped the iron rod with one hand while her other hand rapidly formed hand seals, and a blinding white light exploded from her fingertips.

Whoosh, the little girl in red on the rooftop vanished into thin air.

Thirty miles north of the city.

The bottom of the abandoned obsidian mine is permeated with miasma that has lingered for years.

Shen Xizhou squatted behind a boulder, holding the dark, blunt club his older sister had given him.

He was getting a little anxious while waiting.

The hidden teleportation array beneath our feet lit up with white light several times in succession.

Those who came out were either heavily pregnant merchants or rogue cultivators covered in a bloodthirsty aura.

None of these are the goals.

Could it be that a fight has already broken out on my sister's side?

The symbiotic mark has remained silent; if my sister encounters danger, she will definitely call for help.

The array patterns on the soles of their feet once again erupted with dazzling spiritual energy fluctuations.

Space distorted for a moment.

A young man dressed in a blue brocade robe, with an arrogant expression, stepped out from the center of the formation.

Kui Ke.

Shen Xizhou was greatly encouraged, but after taking only half a step, he abruptly stopped.

With the body of a three-year-old child, thin arms and legs, rushing out wielding a broken iron rod, its deterrent effect against robbery was practically zero.

Even if you knock someone down, it doesn't seem imposing enough.

It needs a new shell.

He reached into his storage bag and pulled out a sixth-grade top-tier invisibility talisman, then slapped it onto his forehead.

His figure vanished into thin air in an instant.

The bones crackled and popped, and the flesh swelled wildly.

In just a few breaths, a giant dragon with two horns on its head and its body covered with dark scales silently coiled above the mine.

The dragon concealed all its aura, gripping the enlarged iron rod tightly in its claws, and silently slid to the back of Kui Ke.

As soon as Wei Ke stepped out of the formation, a cold wind inexplicably swept across his neck.

My back felt slightly hairy.

Is someone following us?

He stopped and sneered. How dare they use such a low-down robbery trick on him?

As the young master of the prestigious Kui clan, a genius cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, who in the entire outer reaches of the Demon Realm would dare to provoke him?

"Ugh."

Kui Ke shook his head, feeling a deep sense of loneliness.

"In this day and age, there are indeed fewer and fewer geniuses as brilliant as me."

Before he could finish speaking...

A whooshing sound came from above.

The dark iron rod, carrying immense force, smashed directly onto his forehead.

boom!

That blow landed squarely.

Before Wei Ke could even activate his protective aura, his mind exploded with countless golden stars.

The world seemed to be spinning violently, my consciousness was in turmoil, and my ears were filled with a buzzing roar.

His body instinctively staggered forward, grabbing wildly.

The haphazardly waving fingers coincidentally hooked onto a yellow talisman in mid-air.

tear.

A ripple, like waves, spread through the air.

Shen Xizhou's enormous, dark dragon body was exposed to the moonlight without any defense.

The dragon remained in the posture of holding a staff with both hands, its two front claws still frozen in mid-air.

Kui Ke covered his bleeding head and turned around unsteadily.

Their eyes met, staring at each other intently.

Kui Ke: "A dragon?"

How could there be dragons on the outskirts of the Demon Realm? Isn't Shen Jiuyuan the only demon associated with dragons?

His mind was a complete mess, but Shen Xizhou reacted extremely quickly.

Regardless of what shocked the other party, as my sister said, the essence of a surprise attack is to catch the opponent off guard.

Now that our cover has been blown, let's change our tactics.

The thick, dark dragon tail swung violently in mid-air in a semi-circle, accompanied by a sonic boom that tore through the air.

Snapped!

It landed squarely on Kui Ke's cheek.
