Chapter 15078 Even the Giant Bear is Afraid of Little Pink

Hong Meng didn't turn around, but her expression became noticeably serious, as if some danger might appear ahead.

Ling Xiao also became serious, preparing for battle at any moment.

The place where the demonic sect used to hide its inheritance might actually be a dangerous place. Given the nature of demonic cultivators, even if they leave behind their inheritance, they probably won't let you obtain it easily.

"There's no need to be so nervous. With me here, even if we encounter danger, you don't need to worry about it!"

Hong Meng smiled.

"That's not necessarily true. The Flood Demon has been trying to kill you. If you can't stop it, then I'll have to take action."

Ling Xiao always believed in himself more. No matter how strong others were, they might not risk their lives for you in a critical moment. Only by saving yourself could you be truly safe.

Hong Meng didn't say anything more because Ling Xiao's words left her speechless. Hong Mo was stronger than her and had also allied with the monster Cang Lin.

She was really in trouble, but she didn't have time to protect Ling Xiao; she had to make sure she wasn't killed first.

The two said nothing more and cautiously continued on their way.

The road ahead grew narrower and narrower, and they had a feeling that something was watching them.

With only a thin line of sky visible overhead, if we were suddenly attacked, we wouldn't have anywhere to run.

Whether it was Ling Xiao's wish to achieve enlightenment or not, just after turning a bend, a giant python suddenly appeared in front of him.

The giant python coiled in their only way, completely blocking the passage. If they didn't drive it away, they wouldn't be able to move at all.

This giant python seemed to be the same one Ling Xiao had seen before. It had some scratches on its body from the golden eagle, but most of them had already healed.

It seems this guy has made this place a good spot for him to rest and recuperate, while Ling Xiao and the others have become intruders.

The giant python opened its eyes, its cold, slender eyes looking at the uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived.

Its gaze fell on Ling Xiao, but only swept over him with disdain. When it saw Hong Meng, the giant python seemed a little surprised, but it was not afraid. Instead, it showed a bit of provocation.

Ling Xiao felt that this giant python might be from Hong Mo's side or one of Cang Lin's subordinates, which was why it wasn't afraid of Hong Meng.

Moreover, this giant python is extremely powerful, not much weaker than Hong Mo, so it's normal that it's not afraid of Hong Meng, who isn't very good at fighting.

But the moment the giant python's gaze fell on Little Pink, it visibly shivered.

He seemed quite frightened!

They even instinctively stepped back, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

A moment later, the giant python turned around and fled!

They showed no intention of stopping at all.

"This guy is still afraid of Pinky after all!"

Ling Xiao smiled.

The last time he saw this giant python fighting a giant eagle, it was also when it saw Xiao Fen coming that it ran away in fright. It seems that Xiao Fen's pressure on them is still very strong.

"Of course! All the beasts here fear Xiao Fen. The seal that Hong Qi left in Xiao Fen contains Hong Qi's pressure, and the beasts are extremely sensitive to this pressure. So even if Xiao Fen isn't very strong, they will still avoid her when they see her. What's more, Xiao Fen is very strong!"

Hong Meng explained.

Ling Xiao wholeheartedly agreed with this.

Hong Mo wasn't so afraid of Xiao Fen and even dared to fight her. Clearly, Hong Mo couldn't feel the pressure from Hong Qi on Xiao Fen.

"Let's keep going! This giant python probably wasn't sent by Hongmo. Hongmo doesn't have that much control over alien beasts."

Hong Meng smiled and continued to lead the way.

Ling Xiao followed closely behind. Whether the giant python was sent by Hong Mo or not was unimportant; what mattered was that he really wanted to know what the so-called Demonic Sect's inheritance was.

After walking for a while, Hong Meng suddenly turned around and asked, "Young Master Ling, don't you want to know why Hong Mo wanted to kill you?"

“Hongmo didn’t say he had to kill me, so why do you have this idea? Even if I hurt him and he hates me to the bone, he doesn’t necessarily have to kill me.”

Ling Xiao countered with a question.

Hong Meng smiled and said, "It seems you still don't understand. If it were just because you hurt him, he wouldn't necessarily want to kill you. There are other hidden reasons behind this!"

"What secret? Don't try to be mysterious. You're just making things up to get me to help you kill Hong Mo!"

Ling Xiao sneered.

“Of course I wouldn’t make things up. Hong Meng wouldn’t kill you out of spite, but he would kill you for the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword and the Demon Lord’s treasure that you possess! Both of those items belong to the Demon Sect, and for Hong Meng, who is determined to become the new Demon Lord, both of those items must be his, and you are not qualified to possess them!”

Hong Meng explained.

Ling Xiao laughed: "I didn't expect you to know so much. You even know that I have the Demon Lord's treasure. Did your Dream Law tell you that too? But Hong Mo shouldn't know about the Demon Lord's treasure, right? Could it be that you secretly told him?"

Hong Meng was clearly somewhat embarrassed.

Because Ling Xiao guessed correctly, in order to make Hong Mo and Ling Xiao become enemies, Hong Meng revealed to Hong Mo that Ling Xiao had the Demon Lord's treasure, which completely aroused Hong Mo's murderous intent towards Ling Xiao.

"No answer, that's fine! You're really ruthless, but never mind, we weren't allies before, so what you did is understandable."

Ling Xiao sighed.

"I'm sorry, but you don't need to worry too much. In the Eternal Heaven, with me and Xiao Fen there, Hong Mo can't kill you. He doesn't have the power! As long as you're not alone, you'll be fine! The problem is if you get alone because of something. At that time, Hong Mo will definitely make his move on you, and once he does, it will be with lightning speed!"

Hong Meng reminded her.

Ling Xiao smiled, not taking it to heart at all: "I'm not interested in that. What I'm more interested in is, don't you want the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword and the Demon Lord's treasure? Those things should be very attractive to you descendants of the Demon Sect, right?"

Hong Meng shook her head: "Young Master Ling is mistaken. I have no interest whatsoever in the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword or the Demon Lord's treasure. For me, freedom is the most important thing. I don't like being constantly coerced by Hong Mo into doing things I don't want to do. So, either Hong Mo dies, or I become stronger than him, and that way I can get rid of him!"

"Hehe, obtaining the Demon Lord's treasure and the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword will make you stronger, won't it?"

Ling Xiao laughed.

"That's true, but if you're not strong enough, getting those things will just be a hot potato. For example, you got those two things, but you'll still be hunted down and have no choice but to hide in this Eternal Heaven. Isn't that right?"

Hong Meng countered with a question.

"Hehe, that seems to make sense. If you're not strong enough, you'll be hunted down even if you get a treasure. You're quite self-aware. On the other hand, I'm the one who's not self-aware."

Ling Xiao chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Hong Meng remained silent, and the two continued on their way. Before long, they arrived at their destination. (End of Chapter)
