After Ling Xiaoyue turned Ya Zi into one of her own, oh no, into her own dog, Fang Zhou finally learned from her what the Demon Sect's objective was.

The Demon Sect had always been envious of the Refining Immortal City controlled by the Righteous Alliance and had sent people to infiltrate it under false identities many years ago.

The purpose of Ya Zi's visit was mainly for the Three-headed Dragon.

Fang Zhou learned a shocking secret from Ya Zi—the Demon Sect Hierarch, Dragon King, received a decree from a True Dragon in the Immortal World during a cultivation session decades ago, commanding her to forge a dragon body capable of harboring the True Dragon's Divine Soul.

The Hierarch dared not slack and commanded the followers to collect rare materials and exotic species True Fire everywhere to prepare for crafting the dragon body for the True Dragon's descent.

The last time the Demon Sect went to Iron Sword Mountain for trouble was to steal the dragon fire from Iron Sword Mountain.

This time, Ya Zi infiltrated Refining Immortal City under a false identity, also for the Molten Fire of the Three-headed Dragon.

Within the Three-headed Dragon resides a special exotic species True Fire formed after refining molten lava, which is greatly effective in crafting the dragon body.

To ensure success, Ya Zi intervened personally, thinking that even if discovered by the Righteous Alliance, it wouldn't stop her.

Who knew that she would encounter this master-apprentice duo and end up taking both a person and a dog down.

As to why they wanted to take Fang Zhou back, it was because crafting a dragon body also needed a body full of vigorous Yang energy.

Originally, the Demon Sect had prepared a male cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but male cultivators were so rare that finding one even at the Innate Realm was difficult.

Then they stumbled upon Fang Zhou, who had already reached the Golden Core Realm, his Yang energy as vigorous as a furnace.

Ya Zi naturally wanted to take him back, as it would make crafting the dragon body more effective.

If Ling Xiaoyue hadn't suddenly appeared, Fang Zhou would have been no match for Ya Zi.

This left Fang Zhou rather displeased. Having struggled for three years to come out of the Abyss Ancient Battlefield, it was bad enough he couldn't defeat people, and now he couldn't even defeat a dog.

He turned his shame into motivation and asked Ling Xiaoyue for all the subsequent Divine Skill techniques, planning to use the Enlightenment Seeker skill to forcibly elevate his realm.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's plan, Ling Xiaoyue mockingly laughed at him, "You've cultivated for how many years and already want to ascend? It's enough for you to boast that Ya Zi couldn't do anything against you."

Ya Zi is the third-ranked person in the Demon Sect, and the only ones stronger are the Hierarch Dragon King and the leader Qiu Niu, though they are only slightly stronger, just enough to evenly match.

In the Cultivation World, Ya Zi is an unstoppable force as a dog. Forget the Righteous Alliance, even the Sect Masters of the Five Constants can't handle her.

Of course, the same goes for the reverse; the Demon Sect can't deal with the Righteous Alliance's upper echelons either.

The two sides maintain a seemingly fragile yet solid balance in terms of top-tier combat power.

Ya Zi counts as one of the top-tier combat strengths. That Fang Zhou could engage her and escape is notable already, something unbelievable to say out loud.

After Ling Xiaoyue pointed this out, Fang Zhou suddenly felt—eh, maybe he was pretty awesome too?

But Ling Xiaoyue wasn't saying it to boost Fang Zhou's confidence; she mainly wanted to boast about herself.

Since her disciple was so powerful, as the master, she must be even more extraordinary.

Last life, she was the Master of the Moon Palace, and in this life, she still gets delighted over such things. This woman is beyond saving.

Just thinking about how this woman argued until her face turned red for a few copper coins made Fang Zhou feel her previous life was in vain.

However, in the end, Fang Zhou still obtained all the subsequent techniques of the Divine Skill from Ling Xiaoyue, from the Golden Core to Ascension.

After dealing with Ya Zi, the two of them and the dog finally left the gourd.

After inheriting the Dragon Child's bloodline, Ya Zi indeed couldn't be considered human, but neither was she related to a dog; Ling Xiaoyue just liked calling her that.

The game set by the Demon Suppression Saint wasn't over yet. The Three-headed Dragon, frightened, had retreated into the volcano and refused to come out again. Even the monster tide emerging from the ground were all wiped out by the aftermath of the battle.

"Go, doggy!"

Ling Xiaoyue sat on Ya Zi's back, commanding her to head for the volcano.

Ya Zi let out a displeased dragon roar, carrying Ling Xiaoyue flying to the volcano. A dragon fire shot down the volcano's mouth, roasting the Three-headed Dragon until it couldn't stand it and emerged.

The Three-headed Dragon was just a nickname given by Fang Zhou; strictly speaking, this creature wasn't related to dragons but was a type of serpent.

Ya Zi didn't dare to vent her anger towards Ling Xiaoyue or Fang Zhou, so she took it out on this little black snake.

Poor little black snake struggled to resist but couldn't defeat the True Dragon's Son. It was merely at the Virtual Core stage, a far cry from the Golden Core Ya Zi.

After a fierce beating, Ya Zi charred the little black snake and extracted its heart, which contained a highly heated Molten Fire.

With the death of the little black snake, this maliciously playful game came to an end. The towering figure of the Demon Suppression Saint reappeared.

His thousand-zhang tall body stood between heaven and earth, gazing down at Ya Zi, who killed the little black snake.

"Everyone, well done. You've shown me an exciting battle. You may leave this place at any time. More new challenges await you in Refining Immortal City. Good luck."

It was certain that this Demon Suppression Saint was merely an illusion. The battle between Ya Zi and the little black snake was entirely a slaughter and far from exciting.

Fang Zhou turned to ask Ling Xiaoyue, "Do you know him?"

Ling Xiaoyue pursed her lips upon hearing this, "Are you underestimating your master's style? Do I have to know every shrimp soldier and crab general?"

"Not knowing is not knowing. What is there to be proud of?"

After the Demon Suppression Saint said his preset lines, he added before disappearing.

"Oh right, I almost forgot your reward. I am a man of my word."

He gave a gentle wave, and a multitude of light spots scattered from his hand like meteors. Three shot towards the three on-site, while more aimed towards the direction of the far-off teleportation array.

As soon as the meteor entered his body, Fang Zhou experienced a full-body tremor because he heard the Demon Suppression Saint's surprised voice resonate in his heart.

"Wow, I've finally found a good seedling."

Fang Zhou quickly looked at Ling Xiaoyue and Ya Zi; both received the Demon Suppression Saint's rewards but showed no unusual reaction. Ling Xiaoyue even pouted, seemingly annoyed at how small the Demon Suppression Saint's reward was.

The voice sounded only briefly and vanished. If not for the warmth appearing within his body, Fang Zhou might have thought it was just a hallucination.

On the way back, Fang Zhou probed Ling Xiaoyue and Ya Zi, discovering that what they received was almost negligible.

Because their realm far exceeded this game's, their rewards were naturally less.

What Fang Zhou received was evidently unusual, and he could only keep it to himself, planning to delve into it after returning.

The three of them flew back to the plaza. Ling Xiaoyue and Ya Zi, not wanting to attract attention, went straight into Fang Zhou's gourd.

The plaza was empty but littered with numerous monster corpses.

Fang Zhou's Divine Sense enveloped the surrounding mountains, quickly locating where the others were hiding.
