“You La蛤蟆, you say I’m like this, but aren’t you the same?”

“There’s no concrete evidence for the Sanxian Island matter, yet you’ve been fixated on it for so long, still wanting me to divine a hexagram for you.”

Upon hearing this, the Willow Tree Demon immediately opened its eyes and squinted at the La蛤蟆 in front of it.

This fellow, when trying to persuade itself, spoke with such conviction.

Something about how one shouldn’t place hope in those scholars, but now, it seems the other party has placed its hope in Sanxian Island.

The La蛤蟆 grew anxious upon hearing the Willow Tree Demon’s words, “You depleted your Dao cultivation to divine for those scholars, and most of them weren’t even grateful to you. That’s a fact.”

“Now I’m searching for Sanxian Island, seeking my Opportunity. These are two separate matters, how can they be confused?”

The Willow Tree Demon, hearing this, scoffed, “Of course they’re the same. The rumors you heard say there’s a Fairy on Sanxian Island, isn’t that right?”

“Then tell me, are there truly Immortals in this world?”

At this point, the Willow Tree Demon stared intently at the La蛤蟆.

The La蛤蟆 was startled by the question. Its confident Aura suddenly weakened.

Seeing this, the Willow Tree Demon knew it had won. “What, can’t answer, or are you afraid to answer?”

“You’ve Cultivated for so long, you know perfectly well whether there are Immortals in this world. Now you hear there’s a Fairy on an Immortal Island, isn’t that a joke?”

“If we’re talking about Immortals, I’ve heard that some demons, after Cultivating some Dao cultivation, use Spells to deceive the eyes of some Mortals, calling themselves ‘Empress,’ ‘Immortal Master,’ or ‘True Lord.’ There are quite a few of those.”

“You’re not, perhaps, mistaking these for Immortals or Dao Master Expert, are you?”

The La蛤蟆 had already lost most of its confidence, but upon hearing the other party’s words, it mustered its courage and said, “Perhaps there are no Immortals in this world, but there must be Dao Master Expert.”

“Before, when I traveled around, to find some Dao Master Expert to guide my Cultivation, I also heard some things.”

“In the thirty-sixth year of Zhenyuan, the world was in chaos. A great demon gained power and usurped the imperial authority, raising the common people as livestock. To conceal itself, this great demon cast a Spell that caused a great drought throughout the land. Countless people resorted to cannibalism, and corpses littered the ground.”

“Amidst such chaos, this great demon consumed countless hearts, livers, boys, and girls daily, and its Dao cultivation grew day by day.”

“Later, a Dao Master Expert learned of this and descended the mountain to slay the demon.”

“However, this demon had gained power and consumed countless human hearts and livers, making its Dao cultivation terrifyingly strong. That Dao Master Expert was ultimately no match, fighting bitterly in Shifang Mountain for dozens of days, and finally died tragically.”

“It is said that for those dozens of days, Shifang Mountain was filled with Demonic Qi, and the Demonic Qi completely covered that area of the world.”

“Later, its fellow disciples learned of this and came out in full force, solely to slay the demon and protect the people of the world.”

“But that great demon was too terrifying. Its Dao cultivation had reached its peak, and it had recruited many thousand-year-old great demons to its command. Finally, those from that Dao sect sacrificed themselves, using lightning Spells to slay the demon.”

“Only then was this great demon slain. Afterward, it seems only one Junior Brother from that Dao sect remained, collecting the corpses of his Senior Brothers and returning to the mountain gate.”

The La蛤蟆 said this, staring at the Willow Tree Demon in front of it, and asked, “You must have heard of this, right?”

The Willow Tree Demon listened to these words and fell silent for a long time. Of course, it had heard of this matter.

After a moment of silence, the Willow Tree Demon spoke, “Of course I’ve heard of it. But this matter happened over a thousand years ago, didn’t it? Originally, the people in the village of Shifang Mountain should all have known about this.”

“It is said that for those dozens of days, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sun was not seen for dozens of days. Strong winds raged within the dark clouds, and finally, a golden light broke through the dark clouds, but in the end, only a tattered Daoist robe was seen falling from the clouds.”

“However, so many years have passed, and those common people probably don’t remember this anymore. Only some demons who have Cultivated and lived longer remember these things.”

“But, this matter happened nearly a thousand years ago, and only a young Junior Brother from that Dao sect remained.”

“Even if the Spells in that Dao sect were powerful and the Cultivation Technique excellent, I’m afraid that young person wouldn’t be able to pass down the Dao sect. Perhaps after all these years, that Dao sect has long since withered away.”

The Willow Tree Demon finished speaking, glanced at the La蛤蟆, and waited to see what the other party would say next.

The La蛤蟆’s expression froze upon hearing this.

What was said did make some sense, as many people did indeed speculate this way.

But...

The La蛤蟆 thought of this, gritting its teeth and saying, “This has nothing to do with Sanxian Island! Since there are Dao Master Expert, then it’s also possible that there’s a Fairy on Sanxian Island!”

“Even if it’s not a Fairy, it must be someone who Cultivates the Dao. Help me divine it.”

“If I can go to Sanxian Island, and I gain benefits then, I will definitely not forget you. How about it?”

The La蛤蟆 said this, looking at the Willow Tree Demon in front of it with an expectant expression, only hoping the other party would agree to help it divine.

The Willow Tree Demon, upon hearing this, squinted at the La蛤蟆 and then shook its head.

“Don’t even think about this matter.”

Actually, it wasn’t that the Willow Tree Demon didn’t want to help the other party divine; it was simply powerless to do so.

The other party was a demon, and its Dao cultivation was not shallow. The higher the Dao cultivation, the greater the price paid after prying into heavenly secrets.

If it didn’t divine for the other party, but directly for Sanxian Island...

If there truly were any Dao Master Expert on this island, with that one hexagram, it would die today.

The La蛤蟆 actually knew this, but it had seen the other party divining so many hexagrams and still being fine.

It thought that if the other party expended a little Dao cultivation to divine a hexagram for it, there shouldn’t be a problem.

And the Willow Tree Demon naturally wouldn’t tell the other party about this. If the other party knew that it had reached such a point, there was no guarantee that the La蛤蟆 wouldn’t have some ideas.

For example, directly forcing it to divine a hexagram for the other party.

Such things were also very common.

For example, the snake demon that had been chasing this La蛤蟆 before, that snake demon wanted to devour this La蛤蟆 to boost its own Dao cultivation.

The La蛤蟆 didn’t know the Willow Tree Demon’s thoughts. Seeing the other party refuse in this manner, it only assumed that the other party was unwilling to pay the price to divine for it.

Therefore, at this moment, it also pleaded repeatedly with the Willow Tree Demon, hoping the other party would help it divine a hexagram.

However, the Willow Tree Demon directly closed its eyes, not listening to the other party at all.

No matter what, it was impossible for him to divine this hexagram for the other party.

Meanwhile, He Xiuyuan sat on the chair, clearly hearing the conversation between the two demons.

He Xiuyuan’s hand unconsciously tapped on the table at this moment, thinking about Shifang Mountain and Sanxian Island that they had mentioned.
