"The flame is bestowed by heaven, and the tradition continues. Now we are separated, and the two bodies are of one mind."
After reciting the words, the Green-haired Lion King walked forward, raised his hand and used his finger like a knife to lightly draw a golden brazier carved with a wild lion, an elephant head and a roc, and a cluster of flames separated from the brazier.
The Six-tusked Elephant King took a step ahead and came to the left side of the Lion King. The Golden-winged Roc followed quickly and came to the right side. He took out a silver cup container, apparently to hold the separated flames.
Just as the Golden-Winged Roc walked forward, one of the demon generals behind him also walked out from the crowd. It was Xiong Ran!
"Oh no, he's going to take action." Fu Donglai's heart tightened.
"Don't be anxious. Your master has a profound cultivation level. Xiong Ran alone cannot hurt him. The situation is unclear right now, so don't be impulsive." Seeing that he was about to move, Shen Luo quickly grabbed him and said in a voice transmission.
Fu Donglai paused, as if hesitating.
But at this moment, the storage ring in Xiong Ran's hand suddenly flashed, as if he was about to take out some magic weapon.
"No, we can't wait any longer."
Fu Donglai ignored Shen Luo's dissuasion, broke free from his hand, and his body instantly turned into a whirlwind and swept onto the platform.
Before everyone could react, they saw him standing still and grabbing Xiong Ran's wrist.
The demons in the audience didn't understand what was happening for a moment and cried out in surprise.
The Green-haired Lion King turned his head and saw that it was Fu Donglai who had held Xiong Ran hostage. His eyes were filled with anger and an extremely powerful aura instantly burst out from his body.
"Fu Donglai, how dare you come back?" The lion king roared, shaking the mountains and forests.
The surrounding monsters trembled with fear upon hearing this, and those with low cultivation levels could hardly stand steadily.
"Eastern..."
The Golden-Winged Roc forgot to take on the flame for a moment, and looked at his former disciple with surprise.
The Six-tusked Elephant King was even more furious. He didn't care about Xiong Ran's life or death at all. He raised his palm and was about to chop down towards Fu Donglai.
"Disciple has been wronged." Fu Donglai shouted loudly.
The Six-tusked Elephant King turned a deaf ear and continued to chop down with his palm.
"Stop." The Golden-Winged Peng quickly shouted.
The Six-Tusk Elephant King still had no intention of stopping, and his palm was about to slap Fu Donglai on the forehead.
At this moment, a patch of moonlight flashed suddenly around the altar, and another figure jumped up, grabbed Fu Donglai's shoulder and made him move backwards.
The Six-Tusk Elephant King's palm struck down heavily, but it just missed Fu Donglai and instead hit Xiong Ran on the shoulder.
There was a sound of bone cracking, Xiong Ran's shoulder collapsed, and one arm dropped down, obviously with broken bones and injured tendons.
"ah… "
A scream emanated from his mouth.
"Who dares to come to my Lion Camel Ridge and cause trouble?" The Green-haired Lion King roared and looked at Shen Luo.
He quickly recognized that the person in front of him was the human cultivator who was on good terms with Fu Donglai, and a look of surprise and suspicion appeared in his eyes.
"Junior Shen Luo." Shen Luo said generously.
He did not report his master's origin, nor did he mention the Tang Dynasty government. He just spoke simply.
"How dare you interfere in the affairs of our demon clan? Are you tired of living?" The Green-haired Lion King frowned.
"Of course I don't want to get involved in the messy affairs of your demon clan, but Fu Donglai was framed, how can I just stand by and watch?" Shen Luo said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
