On the surface, however, it still seemed difficult, saying how troublesome the Purifying Dark Demon was.

It was better for Tuoba Xin not to take risks to venture inside.

"It is just a Half-Step Foundation Establishment. As long as it hasn’t reached the true Foundation Establishment Realm, there’s nothing to be afraid of."

Tuoba Xin waved his hand, speaking with a sense of ease.

Tuoba Xin was undeniably talented, with wide exposure from the Inner Sect, yet he only lived in the Inner Sect and had never experienced the deceptions of the Outer Sect.

Also, he was inherently interested in the Purifying Dark Demon, and thus easily got intertwined in Liou Yuan’s cunning plan.

Seeing Tuoba Xin fall into the trap step by step, Liou Yuan’s lips curled slightly. He increased his effort, asking again, "Then how should we respond if discovered by the Purifying Dark Demon?"

"How to respond? Our Outer Sect training is to kill the Star-Eclipse Demons for tempering, of course, we’ll kill them." Tuoba Xin was eager to move.

He had previously sought Liou Yuan to spar, with the intent of tempering.

Now hearing of a Half-Step Foundation Establishment Purifying Dark Demon, he couldn’t resist.

"Then let me lead you, my respected brother," Liou Yuan received the affirmative answer without delay and directly set off, stepping on Treading Flowing Waves towards the canyon’s interior.

Along the way, the Star Erosion had largely been cleared by Liou Yuan, and the two didn’t have to worry about mid-journey disturbances.

Of course, with Tuoba Xin present, no Star Erosion would be spared.

Both carried Body Techniques, one enveloped in dazzling blue light, the other traveling with the wind.

When it came to speed, Tuoba Xin was undoubtedly much faster.

In less than half a day, they arrived at a location ten miles away from the Purifying Dark Demon.

At this point, Liou Yuan dared not to proceed carelessly. After greeting Tuoba Xin, he activated the Night Concealing Mask on his face and blended into the darkness.

"Is it a strange artifact?" Tuoba Xin immediately noticed the peculiarity on Liou Yuan’s face, speaking out the word ’strange artifact’.

He admired, clicking his tongue, "What great fortune you have, my brother, to obtain such a treasure."

While speaking, Tuoba Xin did not stop acting, casting a spell on himself to fade his form, mimicking invisibility.

If Liou Yuan hadn’t used Evil Eyes to detect, he wouldn’t have been able to sense Tuoba Xin’s whereabouts.

As Liou Yuan was still astonished, suddenly his ears heard Tuoba Xin’s proud voice, "This was an Invisibility Spell given to me by a Foundation Establishment elder from the Inner Sect."

"With my strength, the Invisibility Spell is hard for an ordinary Foundation Establishment to detect unless carefully examined, surely able to conceal from the Half-Step Star Erosion."

"Do not delay, dear brother, lead the way quickly."

Liou Yuan pursed his lips, unable to speak words of jealousy anymore.

He was indeed fortunate, pampered by everyone in the Inner Sect.

The two restrained their aura again as they moved forward, finally reaching the place where Liou Yuan had previously found the Purifying Dark Demon.

Concerned about being discovered, under Liou Yuan’s suggestion, he and Tuoba Xin stopped about three miles away.

Then Liou Yuan pointed to the end of the canyon.

In that direction, a gigantic red rock as big as a house could clearly be seen crouching beneath the huge rock wall.

It had been two months since Liou Yuan discovered the Purifying Dark Demon, and it remained in its original posture, not moving a bit.

Inside the dark canyon, occasionally the Earth Erosion Seal above would cast sporadic light reflecting on the demon’s body.

With Evil Eyes, Liou Yuan naturally could immediately perceive the whereabouts of the Purifying Dark Demon.

Tuoba Xin, however, performed magic, wiping on his eyes.

As the ghostly light flickered in his pupils, he finally saw what the body of the rock really was.

"Indeed, it’s a Half-Step Foundation Establishment Star Erosion."

Liou Yuan heard Tuoba Xin’s voice, trying hard to suppress his excitement.

"Unexpectedly, in the first layer of the seal, there’s still such a Star-Eclipse Demon, truly hard to see once in a century."

There’s no doubt about the rarity of the Purifying Dark Demon.

Otherwise, the Fixed Star Compass wouldn’t have been activated and rewarded the Vascular Formation and Meridian Opening Elixir.

Worried about prolonged staring would alert the Purifying Dark Demon, Liou Yuan signaled a gesture, and the two began to retreat slowly.

Retreating until ten miles away.

Without Liou Yuan opening his mouth, the eager Tuoba Xin already had the idea of making a move, saying directly, "I’m very interested in this Purifying Dark Demon, you know I seldom have opportunities in the Inner Sect."

"Though my cultivation is strong, I lack tempering, and even the Sect Leader suggested I engage in more battles."

"But this batch of disciples training is too weak, only you, Mr. Liou, and a few other brothers can pique my interest."

Liou Yuan noticed that while Tuoba Xin was talking, his eyes never left the direction of the Purifying Dark Demon, and then heard him say, "Why not assist me, dear brother, and let’s eliminate this Purifying Dark Demon together?"

He even promised, "Rest assured, my dear brother, since you discovered the Purifying Dark Demon first, I won’t take its essence stone."

"As my dear brother’s cultivation is weak, it might be hard to withstand the demon’s tricks," Liou Yuan feigned difficulty.

In fact, he just didn’t want to take the lead in the charge.

Though he had the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet to protect him, facing the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Purifying Dark Demon, even the superior magical artifact’s defense might not hold.

Tuoba Xin was not insisting on Liou Yuan acting together with him, rather he changed the topic to Liou Yuan’s array, saying, "Your array can trap it, can’t it? This is easy, I’ll lure it over, and you activate the array to surround it."

"Let’s join hands and deal with this Half-Step Foundation Establishment Star Erosion."

"Haha, in previous Outer Sect training, no disciples have ever killed a Half-Step Foundation Establishment Star Erosion, this is our first encounter."

Tuoba Xin imagined something interesting and kept nodding his head.

With the conversation reaching this point, Liou Yuan stopped pretending, showing a determined expression, saying in a deep tone, "Let’s proceed as Mr. Tuoba said."

The two began to discuss the specifics of their action plan at the spot.

Tuoba Xin would take action to lure the Purifying Dark Demon out, bringing it to the position where Liou Yuan had set the array.

Then Liou Yuan would activate the array, using it to harass the Purifying Dark Demon, while Tuoba Xin would attack.

"If defeated, your Golden Mountain Breaker can hold off the Purifying Dark Demon for a short while."

’We could retreat comfortably."

This sentence from Liou Yuan was meant to reassure Tuoba Xin.

Who knew the latter was indifferent, stating, "We’ll surely defeat it."

After finishing his words, Tuoba Xin straightforwardly said, "Let’s start the action then."
