"Huh?" Li Xiaoya froze at those words. He had already changed his clothes, and with Liu Xian'er's help, his skin had returned to its normal color. Despite the shudder-inducing fluctuations of magic power radiating from the Black Qilin, he seemed unconcerned. "Hey, Senior! Even if you get that treasure, you won't give it to me. Why should I tell you?"
"Uh...!" Everyone's expression changed at his words, afraid he might anger the Black Qilin. After witnessing the divine ability the Black Qilin had just displayed, none of them thought they could defeat him, even with their combined numbers.
"Well! You brat, after all these years, you're still bold enough to defy the heavens!" Unexpectedly, the Black Qilin wasn't angry. His expression softened as he spoke, and he reined in his magic power. He looked Li Xiaoya up and down, making Li Xiaoya feel as though his entire body was being seen through. Li Xiaoya immediately circulated the Dragon-Devouring God-Reversal Art, blocking the Black Qilin's probing gaze. The Black Qilin paused, then said in astonishment, "Tsk! Your divine abilities just keep getting stronger, brat!"
"Hehe! You flatter me, Senior!" Li Xiaoya replied with a chuckle.
"Oh!" The Black Qilin suddenly looked vexed again. "Ugh! You little brat, if you'd told me earlier that thing was here and let me prepare, I would've caught it!"
"Uh! I didn't know that thing was so powerful either!" Li Xiaoya explained, then hastily added, "Thank you for saving us, Senior!"
"Forget it!" The Black Qilin didn't seem genuinely interested in that thing. He changed the subject. "Right! Did you come here just to look for it, brat? Or is there something else?"
"Hehe! Hunting for treasure was just something we did along the way. We actually came to Ancient Demon Mountain for something else! Please
