Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: Black and White Demons

"We wish to join forces with Senior Li, and if we can slay the Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion and obtain the Spiritual Medicine or other treasures it guards, we are willing to share them with Senior Li," said Gu Yan earnestly to Li Chenzhou.

Standing on the mountain ridges were more than a dozen Innate Experts, divided into five groups, led by Gu Yan and three other high rank Innate Experts from the Divine Fire Sect, which was one of the five groups.

As for the other four groups, having traveled across the True Martial Realm in his earlier years, Li Chenzhou was somewhat familiar with those hidden Innate Sects. He carefully observed their attire and the Martial Artist Aura emanating from them, and he managed to guess their identities.

"The Martial Artists here, besides the Divine Fire Sect, are there disciples from the Red Dawn Palace and Phoenix Mountain as well?" Li Chenzhou asked as he pointed towards the other dozen Innate Experts.

"Does Senior Li also have connections with the Red Dawn Palace and Phoenix Mountain?" Gu Yan asked instead of answering, with a clearly nervous expression on his face.

His counter-question confirmed Li Chenzhou’s guess.

Li Chenzhou smiled faintly and shook his head, "No significant connections. When I was tempering myself in the True Martial Realm, I seem to have encountered disciples from these two Sects. Now, I’ve somewhat forgotten. I was just guessing their identities earlier, and it turns out I guessed right."

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief internally, thinking it was good that way. Otherwise, if this Innate Expert of perfection was drawn over by the Red Dawn Palace or Phoenix Mountain, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Divine Fire Sect.

"As for those two... I do not recognize them..."

Li Chenzhou’s gaze then shifted to a man and a woman standing several tens of feet away.

The man and woman, both appearing to be over sixty, were also experts at the perfection realm of Innate, and although they were alone and had their own group, their strength was even greater than the teams from the Divine Fire Sect, Red Dawn Palace, and Phoenix Mountain, which consisted of four to five high rank Innate experts.

Innate Experts of perfection stand at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao in this world, and thus, most are quite proud. Therefore, when the man and woman saw Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou, they were only surprised for a moment before withdrawing their gazes, continuing to look at the Huo Hai spreading in front of them.

For them, although Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou were talented Martial Artists worth noting, at this moment, the Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion in the core area of the Eternal Death Zone and the treasures it guarded were their main concern.

"Senior Li, those two are the ’Black and White Demons’ who have risen in recent years in the Eastern Extreme Continent, dominating the True Martial Realm! The man in a black robe is named Yin Tianyu and the woman in white is named Jing Chaoyu. They were once martial companions and later, for unknown reasons, parted ways and became strangers to each other..."

With a wary look, Gu Yan glanced at the man and woman, then transmitted his voice to Li Chenzhou, seeing that Li Chenzhou was listening intently, he perked up and continued transmitting, "The Black and White Demons are odd and ruthless in nature, both being Innate perfection experts, thus even the Innate Sects would not lightly antagonize them. Their appearance here together likely aims at the Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion and the treasures it guards."

Having said that, he secretly observed Li Chenzhou’s expression and brought up the matter of alliance again, "I think if we discover the treasures guarded by the Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion, the Black and White Demons might very well join forces to contest for them. Even though Senior Li is powerful, facing two Great Innate perfection experts might still be overwhelming, right? If Senior Li would agree to ally with our Divine Fire Sect, our chances of obtaining the treasures would increase significantly. Please consider it..."

Hearing Gu Yan up to this point, Li Chenzhou laughed heartily towards Fang Bai and said, "Brother Fang, Gu Yan only discusses the matter of alliance with me, completely disregarding you. It seems you are being ignored!"

Fang Bai pursed his lips and spread his hands, "There’s nothing I can do, being just a small Martial Artist at the Universe Level perfection realm, naturally I’m not regarded by you Innate Experts."

Gu Yan was startled upon hearing Li Chenzhou actually address Fang Bai as "Brother Fang," suddenly realizing he had made a mistake and hurriedly turned to Fang Bai with an awkward smile, asking, "How should I address this...this individual?"

In Gu Yan’s eyes, Fang Bai was indeed just a Universe Level perfection Martial Artist, but Li Chenzhou addressed him as "Brother", making Gu Yan unsure of the proper way to address Fang Bai for a moment.

Logically speaking, Gu Yan was an Innate High Rank Expert, while Fang Bai was merely a Universe Level perfection Martial Artist. In front of Fang Bai, Gu Yan naturally held the status of "Senior".

But Li Chenzhou peculiarly addressed Fang Bai as "Brother," which put Gu Yan in an awkward position.

If Gu Yan were to address Fang Bai as "Senior," it would mean demeaning his own status, which he was reluctant to do.

If Gu Yan addressed Fang Bai as "Brother Fang," wouldn’t that put him on an equal footing with Li Chenzhou?

"Brother Fang’s combat strength is not at all inferior to mine. If you wish to join forces with me, you must first get Brother Fang’s consent. As long as Brother Fang agrees, there will be no problem on my end."

Before Fang Bai could speak, Li Chenzhou had already interjected and spoke to Gu Yan.

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan was stunned, speechless, and stood there dumbfounded.

Although he also thought of the term "challenging beyond one’s level," in the True Martial Realm, even the most outstanding Martial Dao Genius could only challenge one or two small realms above them, but listening to Li Chenzhou’s tone, it seemed like Fang Bai could challenge Innate Experts a whole major realm higher than himself, which was unbelievable to Gu Yan.

If that were the case, Fang Bai would be the most extraordinary and monstrous genius in the entire history of the True Martial Realm!

After leaving that comment with Gu Yan, Li Chenzhou no longer paid him any attention and stood side by side with Fang Bai, looking towards the Huo Hai and sighed, "This Huo Hai spans dozens of miles. If there isn’t a place to land within it, we cannot traverse it."

"Let’s go around the Huo Hai and see, maybe there will be some discoveries?"

Facing the Huo Hai, even Fang Bai found it a bit tricky, and said to Li Chenzhou: "That Gu Yan mentioned that previously, a Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion attacked human Innate Experts, and it was on the periphery of the Huo Hai... Moreover, the Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion might be guarding Spiritual Medicine or other treasures at the core of the Eternal Death Zone. Based on this, we can infer that there must be a pathway in this Huo Hai that allows that Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion to come and go."

Li Chenzhou nodded in agreement and said: "It makes sense. Then let us search together."

Thus, the two hurried along the edge of the Huo Hai towards the west, simultaneously releasing their Divine Sense to see if there was a pathway to cross the Huo Hai.

Seeing this, Gu Yan and four other Divine Fire Sect Disciples also kept a distance of several meters and followed.

The other dozen Innate Experts were also not idle; they each released their Divine Sense, searching for a possible path through the Huo Hai.

Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou rushed along the mountainside by the Huo Hai, traveling quickly over a hundred miles, but despite covering only a small part of the circular Huo Hai, they found nothing.
