He was still the same Lu Xiaotian she had met in the望月 Mountains. At first glance, he seemed to blend in with the crowd, but few could detect the terrifying edge hidden beneath his ordinary appearance...Before the purple-gold lotus could arrive, a powerful force like an overwhelming tide pressed down on the entire cotton flower sea. In an instant, within a radius of over a thousand miles, birds and beasts fell silent, all cowering under this immense pressure, trembling with fear.

"Fellow cultivators of Mumen Island, would you be so kind as to appear before me" The middle-aged woman on the Zijin Flower said softly. Her voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Fellow cultivators, why are you all here with such imposing auras What brings you to my doorstep We have no past dealings, so whether we've met before or not is hardly significant, wouldn't you say"

>Within the sea of cotton flowers, a voice drifted out. It sounded like only one voice, but to several demon ears, it was impossible to pinpoint exactly where it came from.

Lu Xia Tian naturally sat cross-legged in the sea of cotton flowers at this moment, and towards the aerial Jiao demon, or rather, the middle-aged woman's display, he was truly quite surprised. Just those two pulling six-hooved steeds with fierce winds had already reached the early stage of merging bodies.

Although the six-footed, fiery steeds are fierce in nature and not adept at fighting, they can be ridden by this woman. It shows just how powerful this middle-aged woman is, she is likely the dominant force in this sea area.

As for the handsome young man on the carriage, he was also at the initial stage of integration. The Huoqing Yanhua and Jinmao Fanjiao on both sides of the carriage had already reached the middle stage of integration.

Even the current combined force of experts is not inferior to the Abyss Hall in the chaotic Demon Realm back then.

"This palace has resided in the Purple Gold Dragon Palace for a long time, rarely going out. This time, it is merely to attend the birthday of the Sky Devouring Roar Lion. I happened to be here, not intentionally. Fellow Daoist, you have lived in the Cotton Flower Sea for a hundred years, hunting and killing many monsters under this palace's jurisdiction in the sea. Those useless things could be negligible. However, you ultimately violated this palace's taboo. It is only right for this palace to come and make things clear."

Though the middle-aged woman spoke those words, there was no real intention to seek a resolution in her tone.

A mere demon snake's den, and it dares to call itself a dragon palace. This middle-aged woman’s tone was quite bold. Lu Xiaottian found it amusing, but the other party had many more demons than him. If he didn't have to, he wouldn't want to clash with these coalesced realm monsters.

I chose to reside on Mo Mian Island because the spiritual energy here is thick and potent, with numerous monsters in the surrounding waters. It also allows me to utilize the Thousand Flowers Shifting Dragon Formation, providing an extra layer of protection. I've made this place my temporary home. If I were to violate the taboos of these combined monsters, I could simply leave. There's no need to provoke them into a conflict.

"I am but an outsider. Seeing that Motian Island was unclaimed, I stayed here for some years. If I have offended anyone, I will leave Motian Island." Lu Xiaoteng calmly replied.

“My friend, do not misunderstand the kindness of the Palace Master of Purple Shirt Palace. If there was blame to be laid, the Palace Master would have done so long ago. Those two sea monsters only arrived on this island recently. The Palace Master had been in seclusion for some time and had no time to deal with them. Since you were able to kill those two monster elephants, your skills must be extraordinary. Right now, the Palace Master is looking for capable people. Since you have such great abilities, why not become a disciple of the Palace Master of Purple Shirt Palace With your abilities, you will certainly be well-treated.”

Then the golden-furred ox demon roared.

“Humans and demons are different paths, I’m just a fallen human cultivator, I'm afraid I can't join your demon clan forces.” Lu Xia Tian politely refused.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“My friend, there’s no need for such narrow-mindedness. While not many human cultivators venture into the boundless Demon Sea, this palace has certainly encountered them before. I used to be quite close with a human cultivator.” The Palace Master of Purple Clothes said.

“Fellow Daoist, please don't dismiss the Palace Master's kindness. Besides the Palace Master, this sea area belongs to the Devouring Heaven Roar Lion. It's either me or you as enemies. Fellow Daoist, I believe you understand what I mean.” At this moment, Huo Qing Yaohun’s words were laced with a clear threat.

"In that case, I have no other choice, do I" The voice from within the cotton flower sea remained as calm as ever, seemingly unfazed by the words of the fire clear demon falcon.

"You are a discerning person, friend. If you are unwilling to serve in Zijinglong Palace, please visit for a while as our guest until this palace and the Swallower of Heaven Lion have finished some minor matters. Afterward, we will leave your decision regarding your stay on Mokmian Island up to you."

Although the Zijing Palace Master's tone sounded like a consultation, he had left Lu Xia Tian with little room to maneuver.

"Alright then, I'll stay at your place for a while." Lu Xia Tian replied. The other party had no grudge against him recently, and he wasn't worried about the other party suddenly attacking him after keeping him confined. Currently, the other party was already at an absolute advantage with people on their side, they wouldn't need to wait until later to make a move.

>

Even if the other party made a move, Lu Xia Tian couldn't win in a direct fight. However, escaping wasn't completely impossible. He had spent a whole generation on this Mutan Island. These years weren't wasted for nothing by Lu Xia Tian. Of course, if he could avoid a direct confrontation with the other party, that would be best.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed a discerning person. I wonder how should I address you" Zi Shan Palace Master smiled. As the Palace Master of Purple Gold Palace, she held absolute authority in this sea region. If Lu Xia Tian continued to be ignorant, even out of necessity to intimidate those under her command, Zi Shan Palace Master would make him understand his place.

"You may call me Xiang Dao-you," Lu Xia Tian said, his voice falling softly. In an instant, he donned a black robe and a bronze mask, stepping out of the cotton flower sea with a single stride.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"A truly remarkable and uncanny method, Dao's." It wasn't until Lu Xia Tian appeared that the Purple Shirt Palace Master realized Lu Xia Tian's concealment. However, a little bit of hiding was hardly significant; if she wished, she could use some means to force Lu Xia Tian out.

"With weak skills, I can only focus on some unorthodox methods." Lu Xia Tian smiled upon hearing this.

“To be able to take down two sea monster elephants single-handedly, Daoist friend is too modest.” The golden-haired ox demon laughed loudly, “The Palace Master is a person who values talent. After Daoist Xiang goes to the Purple Gold Palace, I'm afraid he won't want to leave at all.”

"Thank you, fellow cultivator. This palace will accompany you to pay a visit to the old demon, Swallowing Sky Lion Roar," said the mistress of Zishan Palace.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Well, it doesn't matter if we round up the numbers to make the palace master look more imposing. However, if that Devouring Heaven Roar Lion is too powerful, I wouldn't want to provoke such a formidable enemy.” Lu Xia Tian directly stated his point.

“Item Dao is quick-witted and speaks swiftly, just as this palace intended. This palace has been engaged in a long battle of wits with the Devouring Heaven Lion for many years, but now we’re merely attending his birthday celebration out of courtesy. There's no need to worry about fighting. Please rest assured, Item Dao.” The Purple Robe Palace Master chuckled repeatedly. “Time waits for no one. Let's go together, Item Dao.”

At this moment, Lu Xia Tian and the powerful demon race warriors transformed into a streak of light, chasing the stars and moon as they advanced through the air.

The two six-legged Fiery Wind Horses that were pulled for the Zishan Palace Master are wind system spiritual beasts raised by the Zishan Palace Master. It's possible that a special method was used to raise their realm to the early stage of the Nascent Soul. As they got closer, Lu Xia Tian did not sense any particularly powerful demonic energy from the two six-legged Fiery Wind Horses.

>cultivation levels ranging from the early to mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. They looked like strong members of their clan, brought here by the Ghost Scorpion King. This fellow sure knows how to...
