Several days later, on the night of the full moon.

Moonlight filtered through the thin mist and fell upon the grassland of a basin in the Black Mist Mountain Range.

Awooo! Awooo!

On the grassland mountain, two second-tier wolf demons, each as large as a tiger or leopard, were tearing at each other and fighting fiercely, their flesh and blood dripping.

Two wolf demons, one black and one gray, with distinct auras.

The black wolf was large and imposing, with Sha Qi aura; the gray wolf was agile and its fur gleamed with silver.

Lan Chang'an and his group of four passed by, and upon seeing this scene, they restrained their Law Power and minimized their movements.

"Black Wind Wolf and Pale Moon Wolf. These two types of demonic wolves are mortal enemies."

Zhao Siyao transmitted her voice.

At this point, the four people have two choices.

First, quietly bypass the area and return to Yellow Dragon Immortal City.

Second, wait until both wolves are exhausted, then reap the benefits.

Having obtained a special demon core, Lan Chang'an naturally did not want to cause any unforeseen complications.

"My lord! The demon core of the Pale Moon Wolf can also replace the Mystic Spirit Fruit as the main ingredient for Foundation Establishment."

Xiao Yingxue said with delight.

"Yes, the Pale Moon Wolf absorbed the power of the moon's essence, making its demon core pure."

Chen Fuhai's eyes lit up as he stared at the gray wolf demon, whose fur shimmered with a faint silver light in the moonlight.

"Fellow Daoists, could you lend my wife and me a hand? When the time is right, we'll take down that Pale Moon Wolf in one fell swoop."

Chen Fuhai's eyes gleamed as he extended an invitation.

Xiao Yingxue's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she said, "After this is accomplished, my husband and I will reward you handsomely with two thousand Spirit Stone. In addition to the demon core, we will also send you the wolf corpse materials."

Lan Chang'an finally understood.

Before Chen Fuhai and his wife obtained the special demon core, they agreed to cooperate with him in alchemy.

However, Lan Chang'an has the right to choose the pill first, so there is some uncertainty.

Right now, as long as we kill that early-stage second-tier Pale Moon Wolf, we can obtain a special demon core.

The couple gathered the remaining materials for the Foundation Establishment and sought help from Second-Order High-Grade Alchemist in their sect, hoping to obtain three Foundation Establishment.

One Foundation Establishment and three Foundation Establishment.

Even a three-year-old can understand this difference.

Moreover, cooperating with Lan Chang'an only guarantees a Foundation Establishment.

If it were Lan Chang'an, he would also choose to take control of his destiny and obtain a stable happiness.

However, he was a little puzzled.

A few months ago, Second-Order Monster Beast with special demonic cores were extremely rare to find in the Black Mist Mountain Range.

On the return journey, how lucky were we to encounter Pale Moon Wolf with a compatible demon core?

Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao exchanged glances and communicated telepathically.

Zhao Siyao was clearly tempted, after all, they were just two low-grade second-tier wolf demons, and they were about to both be severely injured.

They have four Foundation Establishment level combatants, including one in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Watching the two wolf demons, one black and one gray, locked in a fierce battle, Lan Chang'an shook his head slightly.

Having already secured his profits, he didn't want to create any further complications.

"If Daoist Lu is unwilling, you can help keep watch. After it's done, we will send you a small gift."

Chen Fuhai transmitted his voice.

The couple successfully persuaded Zhao Siyao not to force Lan Chang'an.

In fact, Chen Fuhai and his companion could easily defeat Pale Moon Wolf.

But defeating someone and capturing them are two different things.

Inviting other Foundation Establishment cultivators was a prudent move to cut off the Pale Moon Wolf's retreat by encircling it.

The Pale Moon Wolf is agile and swift, with extremely high speed. Combined with the geographical advantages of the Black Mist Mountain Range, it may be able to escape the pursuit of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

"Daoist Zhao, be careful."

Now that things have come to this, Lan Chang'an could no longer offer any advice.

How to persuade them?

Should Chen Fuhai and his companion give up the three Foundation Establishment?

Zhao Siyao went out to gain experience in order to advance her Dao Path and seize fortuitous opportunity.

Forcibly persuading someone is tantamount to obstructing their path.

Lan Chang'an didn't have a good reason to persuade him; he simply didn't want to cause any trouble.

Aww!

On the grassland plains, two wolf demons fought fiercely, their bellies ripped open, blood and flesh dripping everywhere.

Zhao Siyao and Chen Fuhai and his wife approached stealthily from three directions.

Lan Chang'an was further away and was responsible for keeping watch.

In view, the two demon wolves were indeed both badly injured.

Aww!

With its agile movements, the Pale Moon Wolf bit the Black Wind Wolf's neck.

It itself was also seriously injured, with its abdomen ruptured, exposing its bloody internal organs.

"Superior!"

Chen Fuhai acted decisively, summoning a Black Rock Magic Item that grew seven or eight zhang in the wind, resembling a small black mountain peak and radiating terrifying spiritual pressure.

"A top-grade magical Law Artifact!"

Lan Chang'an was slightly moved. Even Second-Order Middle-Grade defensive Talisman would find it difficult to withstand the direct impact of such a top-grade mountain-type magic Law Artifact.

These types of Law Artifact have strong direct suppression capabilities, but they lack flexibility. If Escape Talisman is activated quickly, one can avoid them.

Zhao Siyao and Xiao Yingxue flanked from the other two sides, unleashing their Law Artifact to cut off the Pale Moon Wolf's retreat.

Boom!

The small black mountain peak, with its terrifying force, crashed down, striking the area several feet in front of the Pale Moon Wolf.

The Pale Moon Wolf, visibly terrified and severely injured, failed to dodge and was struck head-on.

A bloodcurdling scream!

Chen Fuhai looked surprised, not expecting to succeed so easily. He was even worried that the Pale Moon Wolf would be smashed into a pulp, damaging its demon core.

"Wrong!"

Chen Fuhai's expression suddenly changed; there was no corpse of the Pale Moon Wolf below the small black hill.

There wasn't a trace of blood.

Aww!

Another Black Wind Wolf, which was "severely injured and on the verge of death," suddenly stood up, its fur glossy black and completely unharmed.

Was everything before just an illusion?

Black Wind Wolf's eyes flashed with mockery as it transformed into a streak of black smoke, distancing itself from Chen Fuhai.

Where did the Pale Moon Wolf go?

"No! That wolf demon is definitely not the Pale Moon Wolf!"

Cold sweat beaded on Chen Fuhai's forehead. He activated his protective magic shield and scanned the area warily with his Divine Sense, but was restricted by the fog.

As the illusion shattered, Zhao Siyao and Xiao Yingxue, who were on opposite sides, paled slightly.

Xiao Yingxue suddenly felt a cool breeze on her face, and her body went cold.

A phantom appeared in the blink of an eye!

It blended with the moonlight, deceiving the eyes and almost fooling the Divine Sense.

"Not good!" Xiao Yingxue's heart raced. She hurriedly activated her protective magic shield and prepared to take out the Talisman.

Laugh!

Beneath the full moon, a wolf's claw, gleaming with silver light, swept across, tearing through the newly lit protective magic shield.

Xiao Yingxue's plump body stiffened, and her throat went cold.

A line of blood spread across her elegant, snowy neck.

Xiao Yingxue tried to reach out unwillingly, but ended up falling to the ground headfirst, her body severed from its head.

This scene stunned the others present.

Suddenly, a giant wolf with silver fur appeared before Xiao Yingxue's corpse.

Beneath the full moon, the giant wolf's fur appeared to be covered in a layer of silver frost, exuding the majesty of an ancient lineage.

"Earth Grade Bloodline, Heavenly Moon Wolf!"

Lan Chang'an's pupils narrowed.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf is similar in appearance to the Pale Moon Wolf, but has a higher bloodline grade.

Under moonlight, especially on a full moon night, this wolf's fighting ability is greatly enhanced.

The Heavenly Moon Wolf in front of us should be a mid-stage second-tier Demon Beast, equivalent to the fifth or sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in humans.

However, with the blessing of the full moon, its strength is comparable to the late stage of the second tier.

Including illusion abilities, which have been elevated to a higher level.

Lan Chang'an's Divine Sense is stronger than that of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, but not as strong as that of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

In the Black Mist Mountain Range, Divine Sense senses were limited by the mist and the distance was considerable, so the flaws in the illusion were not detected beforehand.

Suddenly, he recalled the fleeting illusion of being watched when he killed the White Jade Python.

Thinking back now, the White Jade Python was in the process of advancing in rank, and it was possible that it had been targeted by the Heavenly Moon Wolf.

When Lan Chang'an killed the White Jade Python, the Heavenly Moon Wolf was secretly watching.

However, Lan Chang'an, Zhao Siyao, Earth Rock Rat were all uninjured and in good condition.

It wasn't a moonlit night, so Heavenly Moon Wolf cautiously refrained from making a move.

Amplified by the full moon, Heavenly Moon Wolf delivered a surprise attack that killed Xiao Yingxue.

Its eyes gleamed with cunning and amusement.

It slashed open Xiao Yingxue's abdomen with one claw and bent down to gnaw on her.

"Reflecting Snow!"

Chen Fuhai's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was filled with rage. Seeing this scene, his mind was buzzing and his body almost swayed.

Zhao Siyao felt a chill run down her spine, her pretty face turning pale.

Beware of illusions! Don't let your mind be swayed!

Lan Chang'an was far away and less affected, silently practicing the Evergreen Art and the Mind-Stabilizing Secret Technique from his Previous Life.

Before he could finish speaking...

Whoosh--

Two crescent-shaped blades of light pierced the void, their brilliance shining even more brightly under the full moon.

They slashed at Chen Fuhai and Zhao Siyao respectively.

Chen Fuhai, overwhelmed by grief and rage due to his wife's tragic state and influenced by the illusion, was consumed by his emotions. He only realized what was happening when the crescent-shaped blade of light was about to strike him.

The Law Power shield was pierced by the crescent-shaped blade of light.

He was startled and furious, and hastily summoned a high-grade defensive magic Law Artifact, but did not have time to activate it at full power.

With a "pfft".

The Artifact Spirit dimmed, and one of its arms had been severed.

Aww~

The Heavenly Moon Wolf, trailing several silver moon phantoms, pounced on Chen Fuhai at terrifying speed.

"Hiss!"

Not far away, Zhao Siyao let out a muffled groan, her delicate body swaying precariously.

She quickly deployed her "Iron Net Umbrella," but it was slashed open by the crescent-shaped light blade.

Pfft!

The crescent moon, now dim and smaller, swept across her legs, staining her white dress with blood.

Fortunately, Heavenly Moon Wolf focused its attacks on the stronger Chen Fuhai and did not target her.

Unfortunately.

Another Black Wind Wolf, at the early stage of the second tier, transformed into a wisp of black smoke and charged towards Zhao Siyao at incredible speed.

Zhao Siyao was injured in the leg and entangled by the Black Wind Wolf. She used her Iron Net Umbrella to defend herself but was forced to retreat in a panic.

"This way!" came Lan Chang'an's voice from behind.

When Lan Chang'an was keeping watch, he chose a position relatively close to Zhao Siyao.

Pfft!

Several Earth Spike, each two zhang high, protruded from the ground, but the Black Wind Wolf nimbly dodged them.

This gave Zhao Siyao some breathing room to reunite with Lan Chang'an.

"Walk!"

Lan Chang'an grabbed her hand and flew low overhead.
