The young woman had little dragon essence left in her body. She fled into the mountain woods near a golden lake, then vanished without a trace.
Shun Li pursued her relentlessly. Lu Xiaotian, the silver-armored elephant demon Wu Jing, the five-headed serpent monster Mang Jincang, and the others also reached the lake. At intervals, they spotted a dragon corpse lying on the ground, or several times that number of headless white corpses, their bodies torn apart. Clearly, these headless white corpses and the dragons of this place had already fought a battle.
Lu Xiaotian stroked his chin. Beside him, Wu Jing and Mang Jincang wore troubled expressions.
The other Celestial Immortal-level elephant demons and flood serpents had gone after the five-clawed golden dragon from another direction. Wu Jing and Mang Jincang stuck so close to Lu Xiaotian because they wanted to keep an eye on him. Both demons suspected that Lu Xiaotian's cultivation was profound and that he might have discovered something.
Sure enough, after Wu Jing and Mang Jincang had traveled alongside Lu Xiaotian for a while, they found several spots of blood on the ground. A powerful draconic aura emanated from them.
Lu Xiaotian and the two Celestial Immortal-level demons searched the area, but found no sign of the Keming white corpse Shun Li. Perhaps Shun Li had already hidden away. Yet a faint, concealed dragon aura emanated from a golden nanmu tree.
Wu Jing and Mang Jincang also sensed that something nearby was amiss, but unlike Lu Xiaotian, they couldn't pinpoint the nanmu tree where the young woman was hiding. Just as the three of them were searching the area, two Celestial Immortal-level members of the flood serpent clan and a group of Profound Immortal-level experts passed by a headless white corpse torn open on the ground
