Red Dragon seeks his position in both realms.

In the withered forest, waiting for Bai Ling's voice to fade.

A burst of green energy immediately emanated from her body, and she transformed into a streak of green light, silently traversing the forest.

On the ground, a human, a half-human, and a single demon each used their abilities to escape.

The human swordsman wiped the wine stains from his beard, lowered the sword from his chest, and with a slight flash of golden light, the sword lifted him into the air.

With a flash of sword light, it followed closely behind Bai Ling's green light, flying away as fast as it could.

Upon hearing this, the black-haired ape demon grinned, slung the two axes behind its back, and leaped forward with all its might!

His muscular arms gripped a branch, and he began to sway through the forest. His seemingly clumsy figure moved with incredible speed, in no way inferior to the gleam of a sword.

The old woman with green scales stood in place, leaning on her cane. She lightly tapped the ground, and dozens of thick vines immediately surged up from the ground.

A huge serpentine mount supported the old woman's body, arching forward close to the ground. It seemed slow, but its speed was actually astonishing.

"Why are you running so fast?"

Lord Crow exclaimed in surprise.

The speed of a Qi-level escape technique is indeed astonishing.

Winters watched the three rapidly moving figures and secretly compared their speed to that of the professionals in the Western Fantasy World.

"This speed is at least at the intermediate or advanced level of extraordinary ability."

Immediately, Winters and the Crow King were about to take flight and follow.

But a figure suddenly jumped out from the ground.

It was Rat Three. He stood on tiptoe and hopped upwards, shouting in a shrill voice:

"Young Masters Yu, wait a minute, give me a ride, give me a ride!"

Winters and Crow King both paused slightly in their flapping of wings.

Crow King turned his head and looked at the fat cat-sized Rat Three with a puzzled expression:

"Rat Three, what's up?"

Rat Three forced a fawning smile, nudged the other with his paw, and said:

"My cultivation is low, and with such meager abilities, I can't possibly outrun you gentlemen on my four legs."

"I would like to trouble you two young masters to give me a ride. Just that would be enough."

  

After saying this, Rat Three looked expectantly at Winters and Crow King.

Winters, filled with doubt, asked:

"Is this what Lord Bai Ling means?"

"The younger one asked to come himself!"

The mouse shook its head repeatedly and explained:

"Lady Bai Ling didn't give any orders; I came along on my own!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head again, looking pitiful.

The body of a true dragon is so noble that even if Winters possessed the body of a golden eagle, he would never allow a rat to ride on his head.

The dragon that the legendary dragon knight rode in the Western fantasy world was ridiculed in the dragon race's heritage.

Besides, what's more, it's letting this rat ride on your back?

Finally, having no other choice, Lord Crow had to drag the fat cat-sized mouse with him as he flapped his wings and flew away.

The moment he came up, Crow King's wings suddenly sank, and he flapped them laboriously twice, unable to resist complaining to Rat Three:

"Rat Three, how come you're so fat? You're too heavy!"

Rat Three just chuckled and didn't reply.

A eagle and a crow took flight and quickly caught up with the group ahead.

Flying at high altitudes is ultimately faster than flying on the ground.

During the flight, Winters saw that Mouse Three was sitting steadily on the crow's back, and asked casually:

"Rat Three, just who is this Fire-element cultivator we're going to kill? What kind of grudge does Lord Bai Ling have against him? How could he have assembled so many men?"

Upon hearing this, Rat Three first shook his head, then nodded, and explained:

"The specifics... I, the humble Rat Three, do not know either, but the two Young Masters Yu should know that Lady Bai Ling is the daughter of the Master of Qing Si Fang."

Although she is the 308th daughter, she is still the daughter of the Blue Serpent Monk, and her status is undeniable.

Bai Ling is actually the daughter of the Qinghu Fangzhu?

Does that mean her father was that rough-and-tumble hero?

Winters thought about it again and realized it made sense.

Most of the snake-scaled half-demons in this market are probably descendants of these rough-and-tumble heroes.

Winters was thinking:

"It seems that Bai Ling is also a rich young lady, after all, she is the offspring of a Foundation Establishment demon."

But Article 308? The Azure Serpent Master has had far too many children! He must possess the skills of a true outlaw hero.

Rat Three was still saying:

"That human cultivator is named Lin Hen. I heard he was originally a Foundation Establishment Immortal Sect disciple."

He was of average talent but extremely diligent, and I heard that he had made a seven-year agreement with the daughter of a certain human family.

He needs to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within seven years so he can marry that young lady.

Lord Bai Ling has a childhood friend who is a rare mutated fire serpent demon.

She was also very talented, breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Consumer in just a few decades, and was only one step away from breaking through to the late-stage of Qi Consumer.

After explaining this relationship between the characters, Winters sensed something was amiss.

He sensed that what Rat Three said next might not be good.

Sure enough, after a moment, Rat Three said resentfully:

"This Lin first used sweet words to deceive the fire serpent demon's feelings, and after gaining its trust, he ruthlessly killed the mutated fire serpent demon and ate it alive!"

All for the sake of nourishing my cultivation and breaking through to the late stage of Qi Conquest! And to fulfill that seven-year agreement as soon as possible!

"Wow, that's pretty ruthless."

However, Winters felt relieved when he thought about how the cultivation world openly wrote about using food to nourish one's own path.

The cultivation world is a place where people and demons eat each other; it's a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Humans eat demons, demons eat humans, humans eat humans, demons eat demons—it's quite normal.

Upon hearing this, Crow King, who was carrying Rat Three, was also startled, and his flight path became somewhat unstable.

Then Rat Three added:

"Previously, Lin Hen was hiding in the Immortal Sect, so it was difficult for Lord Bai Ling to take action."

A while ago, he broke the sect's rules and was expelled, becoming a rogue cultivator. That's how Lord Bai Ling seized the opportunity.

Winters felt the plot was somewhat familiar, and the name Lin Hen seemed a bit too complicated.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't quite grasp it when he thought about it.

Winters and Crow flew for a long time and soon arrived at their destination.

It was a shady hillside.

The four figures—Bai Ling, the sword cultivator, the ape demon, and the old woman—stopped on the slope and waited quietly.

It was because of what Rat Three said that there was a slight delay.

Seeing Winters and Crow King land, Bai Ling stopped wasting words and went straight to the point:

"The target is in a hidden cave on the hillside below us. He has been recuperating there for more than a month. He is currently severely injured and weak, which is the best opportunity to strike."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, she took out a formation flag from her storage bag and then addressed the ape demon, the old woman, and the sword cultivator:

"Later I will give each of you three a flag. You will arrange yourselves according to the directions. I will go down alone to lure him out and into the formation. Once I succeed, I will immediately withdraw."

This formation is called the Left Wood Right Water Yin-Yang Formation, and it is at the Foundation Establishment level.

Although damaged and only possessing 60% of its power, it was more than enough to trap a late-stage Fire Virtue cultivator.

As long as the battle flag remains in place, he will have no chance of escaping. At that time, we will swarm him and kill him.

After the deed is done, I will give you all his belongings without taking a single penny!

After hearing this, neither the ape demon nor the old woman said anything.

But the human swordsman retorted with a question:

"Are you sure this broken formation can hold him back? If he forces his way through, we'll be at a disadvantage."

"It can stay trapped."

Bai Ling spoke calmly, clearly having made thorough preparations:

"My Two Elements Formation only damaged the left wood element; the right water element remained completely unharmed. As long as he's within the formation, there's absolutely no way he can break it!"

After Bai Ling finished speaking, the three flags floated out and landed in front of the sword cultivator, the old woman, and the ape demon.

Winters, Crow King, and that fat rat were not included; clearly, they were not among them.

Winters watched the scene calmly without saying a word.

Meanwhile, the true form of the red dragon in the Western fantasy world began to make calculations again.

The "Six Lines Divination Using Yarrow Stalks" program is now operational!

The divination result: Great fortune!

It seems there are no problems.

Looking at the gray sky, Winters thought to himself:

"Please, whatever you do, don't let anything go wrong."
