Chapter 865 - 397: First Battle in the Wilderness

Sure, here is the translated text:

---

Lord Ding Hui’s medical skills are comparable to Doctor Yun’s. In the Foolish Underworld, he doesn’t know how many people he has saved, but because of his reclusive personality, he doesn’t have many friends.

As for the people around Ling Huxiang, not many people know them.

After all, there’s a separate hall, and even as deputy captains, they’re not too familiar with the people of Juanan Hall.

"I’ve packed everything for you: antidotes, substances to resist hallucinations, items to provide a few hours of breathable air, things to survive a few days without food... In short, I’ve prepared everything I could, and I’ve attached small notes to each bottle, so you’ll know what’s it for when you read them."

Though Ding Hui did not mention concern explicitly, every word showed care.

Fang Yu took the small bundle she gave and smiled, saying, "Don’t worry, it’s just a small mission. I’ll be back in a few days."

"...It better be so."

Glancing at the team, Ding Hui whispered, "You must come back. I’ll be waiting for you in Tianyuan Town."

When Ding Hui said this, her voice was somewhat strange, but Fang Yu didn’t think much of it. Seeing that Ding Hui had already turned to comfort her almost-crying second sister, Fang Yu then mounted the tall red horse at the head of the team.

Ling Huxiang, at this time, seemed to have just finished saying goodbye to her male companions. She mounted a handsome black horse parallel to Fang Yu, glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and said.

"For the next few days, I’ll have to ask Captain Diao to take care of me."

"Captain Linghu, you’re joking. It’s actually you who are taking care of us over here."

"There’s no need for polite words. Take a headcount, and let’s set off now."

"Alright."

Fang Yu took a headcount, his sight wandered around, but still, he didn’t see the appearance of the Green Demon.

Fang Yu sighed inwardly. It seems... the method of sending a letter was too discreet.

No matter, even if this time fails, in the eyes of the Green Demon, it is just shedding human skin. Meeting the Green Demon again shouldn’t be difficult.

"Hyah!"

With a slap on the horse’s back, the team officially set off.

The city gates opened, and the team marched grandly outward.

In the attic, by the window, there was a person, quietly watching the backs of Fang Yu and others as they departed.

He picked up the white paper in his hand and gently crumpled it, reducing it to pieces.

"So, it really is just blank paper."

Shu Bird Demon had thought there might have been a secret code inside, but it seems he was overthinking it.

Blood Demon had already been listed as a suspect by him, so how could he allow Blood Demon’s note to be connected to the Green Demon?

From the moment the letter was sent to the Li Mansion, he had intercepted it.

"Whether you’re real or fake, if you have to die, you should die alone without dragging the Green Demon down."

Retracting his gaze, Shu Bird Demon got up and left, ready to return to the Li Family.

At this critical moment, he had too much to attend to.

But first, he had to return to the Li Family to meet someone—one of the Demon Leaders, the Blood Sea Demon.

The plan is progressing.

The power of demons should also be coming together.

Below him, Ding Hui was already supporting the red-eyed crying Diao Ruru, heading back to the Diao Residence.

But at this moment, Ding Hui’s expression, besides the loss, also harbored a kind of excitement deep within.

Her gaze toward Diao Ruru was as if looking at a piece of art she personally crafted.

"It’s about to succeed. In the days when Diao Deyi is not in Tianyuan Town, I can act freely!"

She would definitely keep Diao Ruru alive, but what she would do to Diao Ruru beyond saving her life was another matter.

Bloodline Spirit, along with Spirit Powder, and Human Demon Spirit together... it can work! If everything goes smoothly!

...

Li Mansion.

The Green Demon, who had once again washed a small gang with blood, saw someone at the entrance of the Li Mansion, someone with whom they had cooperated briefly before.

"What are you doing here?"

The Green Demon slightly frowned, looking around, seeing only Bai Wanxi present.

Bai Wanxi showed a slightly surprised expression, as if a bit confused by the fact that she was acquainted with the Green Demon.

But immediately, Bai Wanxi’s mouth curved into a faint smile.

"A being like you, surprisingly living under others? I’m very curious about what happened to you in the past."

"It’s none of your business. If you’re looking for Li Shiquan, he’s not at home now."

Finishing speaking, the Green Demon strode past her to enter the mansion, but was stopped by Bai Wanxi with a slap.

Bai Wanxi’s curious gaze wandered on the Green Demon’s face, getting extremely close.

"I’m not here to see Li Shiquan, I’m here to see you. Shall we... chat?"

"Not interested."

The Green Demon shook her hand, yet found that she couldn’t shake off Bai Wanxi, her face turned grim, just about to speak, when a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Miss... Bai, what a coincidence."

Who?

Upon turning around, it was an unfamiliar old man, with graying hair, leisurely sipping a small drink.

In a conspicuous, red shabby robe, swaying as he walked, but when nearing the two, his face suddenly changed, saying in a very sinister tone.

"What are you two doing at the entrance? Trying to expose your identities?"

When the words fell, the red-robed old man found that neither of them seemed to react to his words.

The red-robed old man laughed, a rumbling sound emanating from his body.

"For the Ice Immortal Demon not listening to me, I can buy it, but Green Demon, why are you also disregarding me as the Demon Leader?"

Are the two Demon Leaders, a Pure Blood Demon and a Blood Demon about to erupt into a battle at Li Mansion’s entrance?

This scene would bewilder anyone who saw it.

Li Shiquan was quite confused right now, but seeing the Blood Sea Demon seemed about to make a move, his face immediately turned somber.

"What’s happening! Since Mr. Hong is willing to be a guest at the Li Family, come in first. As for Miss Bai, regarding the Bai Family’s matters, I can indeed provide some help, but to what extent, it will depend on your sincerity."
