Having spent so much time with Bai Xue, even the most unobservant person like Shen Yuan would have noticed that Bai Xue was anything but ordinary.

Details like her body not growing any larger regardless of how many snacks she ate, her intelligence far surpassing that of an ordinary young demon despite her seemingly dull appearance, and the occasional reverence shown by the Maine Coon towards Bai Xue – all of it hinted to Shen Yuan that Bai Xue was not an ordinary kitten.

What truly convinced Shen Yuan were the events that transpired in the millennia-old dream of the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.

Even the Maine Coon at the Qi Transformation Stage couldn’t enter the dream world. However, Bai Xue managed to stumble her way into it and, by some fortuitous accident, even made her way into the Heart Lake.

Once there, she caught ahold of the dragon carp, which in effect, helped Shen Yuan win the competition, thereby gaining him the realization of the Rain Calling Divine Ability.

This sequence of events might have had some element of luck to it, but Bai Xue freely coming and going from the Heart Lake definitely made her a special demon.

Shen Yuan even suspected that Bai Xue had long since learned the Human Clan language but was just playing dumb and not showing it in front of him.

Even if the little critter wanted to play games, Shen Yuan saw no need to expose her.

During this trip to Dongting, Bai Xue first helped Shen Yuan win the Rain Calling Divine Ability. She later even brought the dragon carp to save the day, making her the undisputed hero of the day.

To tease her, Shen Yuan purposely praised only the dragon carp and not her. To his surprise, this ended up causing the still-childish Bai Xue to burst into tears.

Even Shen Yuan’s attempts to quickly console her did nothing to cheer her up, and her little cat face remained filled with disappointment.

While Shen Yuan was trying to cheer up Bai Xue, the effects of the battle of Lake Dongting were making their caveats felt.

Several kilometers away from Yunmeng Village, Liao Yuan and his group remained rooted to the spot as they witnessed the end of the earth-shattering battle and the subsequent clearing of the skies.

Yu Changliu had already left the group to rush towards Yunmeng Village. Now the only Qi Transformation Stage cultivators left in the group were Liao Yuan and Liu Yi.

Upon witnessing the unparalleled shock of the scene, even the most arrogant Liu Yi couldn’t help but swallow before asking Liao Yuan cautiously:

“Lord Governor, do we still need to go to Yunmeng Village?”

Awakening from his shock, Liao Yuan deeply looked towards the direction where the Azure Dragon had fallen.

It wasn’t far from Yunmeng Village, and whatever happened in the village was likely related to that Azure Dragon. From one perspective, this could present an opportunity.

The banished immortal who slew the evil dragon had a cultivation base that far surpassed the limits of the current Spirit Energy Tidal Surge. This was power that transcended the mundane world.

If they could establish a relationship with such a personage, it could bring countless benefits.

However, from another perspective, it also posed a risk.

After the Human Emperor’s Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage, all the powerful people of the sects across the world instinctively harbored a dislike for the human dynasty.

There was a great risk in rashly making contact with such a powerhouse without clear knowledge of their background and their attitude towards the Human Dynasty.

If the person were to be displeased and slay him, the Qing Province Governor, the higher-ups of the Great Xia would have no objections. Instead, they would most likely shift all blame onto him, claiming that his reckless contact with such a powerhouse had provoked the latter’s hostility.

After carefully weighing the possibilities, Liao Yuan sighed heavily and made his decision.

“We return to the Provincial Government. We will report everything we saw and heard today to the Imperial Court and let them decide.”

With that, Liao Yuan turned around and headed back the way they had come. The survivors of the group, consisting of Yu Changliu, Hoe Yao, as well as the cultivators of the Zhennan Army, followed closely.

Liu Yi remained standing on the spot for a while before he pulled out a communicator and sent a message. He then turned around and followed in the direction of Liao Yuan.

Liao Yuan’s return this time didn’t take long. As the heavy rain had ceased, modern equipment could now be used, and a helicopter from the provincial government’s military was sent out to meet them as soon as possible.

On the helicopter, Liao Yuan listened to the disaster reports from the command center. After confirming that the extent of the damage from the disaster was within acceptable limits, a relieved expression finally appeared on his face.

For him, no news could be more gratifying.

If the heavy rain had continued for even half a day longer, most of Qing Province would have become a wasteland. Even the banished immortal’s slaying of the evil dragon would have been of no avail.

” When we get back, we must ask the seniors in the court to find out the identity of that banished immortal!”

As this thought came to his mind, the massive helicopter began its slow descent.

The helicopter did not fly directly back to provincial government headquarters, but instead landed in the provincial government’s military zone outside Qingzhou Prefecture City.

Just as Liao Yuan was expressing a puzzled look, a large number of heavily armed soldiers surrounded the helicopter, while two stern-faced Qi Transformation cultivators walked into the cabin.

They didn’t even glance at Liao Yuan, the Qing Province Governor, and instead went directly to Hoe Yao, the survivors of the Dragon Banquet, and said coldly:

“Hoe Yao, your collusion with the Fubo Dragon Monarch has been exposed. Come with us!”

The words were hardly out of their mouth when several soldiers moved forward to arrest Hoe Yao.

Hoe Yao was stunned; he had not expected that after narrowly escaping from the Fubo Dragon Banquet, he would immediately face this situation.

Several soldiers roughly grabbed his hands. Hoe Yao instinctively resisted, resulting in the bag by his side tumbling onto the ground.

The loosely tied bag spilled open, and a large number of Spirit Fruits and spirit objects scattered all over the ground. The spill included a shield that was cut into two halves and a few blood-stained Broken Scale Pieces.
