Cooperation, Half a Year Later

Shi Yan drew a breath, his expression changing slightly.

The Nine-Turn Divine Cicada that had suppressed the Spatial Rift Python until it did not dare show itself could not resist that being in the slightest?!

Just how powerful was the other party?

"Tao Yaoyao, since you knew the Divine Cicada was being hunted, aren't you afraid of provoking that being by setting your sights on it?"

"I am afraid. That's why I came to find you." Tao Yaoyao gave an unexpected answer. "Actually, I wanted to find you long ago, but you were so elusive that I could only go find Xi Du first."

"Speak plainly."

"You... Fine."

Tao Yaoyao really wanted to punch this guy who did not understand taking things step by step, but after thinking it over, she decided to let it go.

"Judging from the trail of demon beasts the Divine Cicada has devoured, it is strengthening its body. That is the foundation of how it has evaded pursuit.

"If we are to face that being, we must possess powerful bodies.

"Within the secret realm, only three people currently meet the requirements: you, me, and Xi Du.

"However, Xi Du still falls a little short. That is why I wanted to capture the Three-Legged Sparrow King and use the Heavenly Demon Tower's Secret Method to temporarily give Xi Du an even stronger body.

"Now do you understand why I said you ruined my plans?"

"A powerful body..." Shi Yan pondered for a moment. "How about this? Take me to find the Nine-Turn Divine Cicada. I'll think of a way to make up for Xi Du's shortfall."

Only he knew that the physical strength Tao Yaoyao had seen was merely a small portion of his Body Refinement strength.

They might have fought for a whole day, but
