Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 686: Identity Exposed

Chapter 686: Identity Exposed

The Celestial Jade Lion didn't continue pursuing Zhang Yibai and Chen Huaian to fight them.

It raised its head proudly, glared very arrogantly at Chen Huaian and Zhang Yibai, then returned to sit at the spot where the Celestial Jade Marrow had erupted, silently waiting for more Celestial Jade Marrow to be born.

Anyone with eyes could see it.

This creature fed on Celestial Jade Marrow.

If they didn't stop it, all the Celestial Jade Marrow that would be born later would be devoured by it!

While rubbing his numb tiger's mouth area, Chen Huaian habitually spread his Divine Sense to observe the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, he precisely captured an extremely subtle mental fluctuation carrying strong shock and greed:

[Celestial Jade Lion?! Such a divine creature was actually born in this place?!]

[What a pity Elder Brother was actually forced by a group of ants to self-detonate his Demon Core to escape...]

[Should I tell Elder Brother about the Celestial Jade Lion's birth?]

This voice was all too familiar to Chen Huaian.

It was Muscle Tyrant's voice but didn't originate from Muscle Tyrant himself—it came from the evil entity that had taken over Muscle Tyrant.

Elder Brother?!

Self-detonated Demon Core to escape?

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, a cold curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

He had indeed brought 'Muscle Tyrant' along today because the evil entity possessing 'Muscle Tyrant' also had strong interest in seizing the Celestial Jade Marrow.

He had considered bringing this evil entity along, thinking that through its inner thoughts he might deduce the other party's identity.

Now... wasn't this exactly what happened?

This evil entity was in cahoots with the Demon Immortal avatar!

Didn't Hua Jin the True One say that two Demon Immortal avatars had descended from the Great Thunder Temple side?

Unexpectedly, one of them had taken over Muscle Tyrant, though the strength the other party displayed was somewhat... underwhelming...

Was it because taking over Muscle Tyrant was suppressed by Muscle Tyrant's Nascent Soul level body?

Between killing the other party and maintaining the status quo, Chen Huaian pondered for a moment and chose to maintain the status quo.

Keeping this evil entity could still bring him more useful information.

Moreover, this evil entity even addressed that Demon Immortal avatar as Elder Brother—the two Demon Immortal avatars were clearly closely related.

In the future, perhaps he could use this identity to make that bull-headed, flood dragon-bodied Demon Immortal avatar hesitate for fear of harming his companion?

Furthermore, he still didn't know whether killing this evil entity would affect reviving Muscle Tyrant.

Since he already had means to revive Muscle Tyrant, why not go along with the scheme and proceed according to the original plan.

[Forget it, I'd better tell Elder Brother, even though Elder Brother did some very excessive things to me... but, that's Elder Brother, even if it's just an avatar.]

Hearing Wu E's inner thoughts, Chen Huaian was momentarily stunned.

What did "very excessive things" mean? How excessive could it be?

Why was this evil entity's emotions so strange? Resentment mixed with a hint of... bashfulness?!

Just as he was pondering this, "Muscle Tyrant" dawdled over to Chen Huaian's side. Chen Huaian pretended not to see him and continued circulating his energy to heal his injuries.

"Big Boss!" Wu E called out once. Seeing Chen Huaian ignore him, he called again: "Big Boss?!"

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, pass gas quickly if you have to!" Chen Huaian opened one eye to look at 'Muscle Tyrant'. "This Venerable One is very busy right now, can't you see?"

"Uh..." Wu E shrank back slightly and said in a small voice: "Big Boss, I need to take a shit. You know, when I shit, I produce a lot at once. If I do it near you all, it might disturb everyone's mood for hunting Celestial Jade Marrow, so... what do you think..."

Chen Huaian's mouth twitched.

What the hell kind of stupid reason was this.

"Scram, scram, scram!" He waved his hand as if shooing flies: "Go shit somewhere far away!"

He actually agreed just like that?

Stupid human, so easy to fool.

Hehehe!

A hint of cunning flashed imperceptibly in Wu E's eyes, but on the surface he appeared meek and compliant: "Yes, yes, yes, Big Boss, I'll go far away right now!" He turned around and, with steps that seemed clumsy but were actually swift, disappeared into the shadows of the scattered rocks at the basin's edge after just a few leaps.

Only after confirming he was far from Chen Huaian and the others' perception range did Wu E stop.

He cautiously scanned his surroundings, his cold vertical pupils almost overflowing with greed and urgency.

He took a deep breath, and from the gaps between his dark keratin scales, sticky purple-black Demonic Energy began to seep out in wisps.

This Demonic Energy didn't disperse.

Instead, it gathered and twisted in front of him as if alive.

Finally, it condensed into a sinister glowing mirror about palm-sized, with blurred edges and a center that slowly rotated like a vortex.

The moment the light mirror formed, its surface fluctuated violently, reflecting not Wu E's own image but a deep darkness that seemed capable of swallowing light.

In the darkness, two faint yet fierce blood-red lights suddenly lit up, like evil beasts lurking in the abyss opening their eyes.

"Elder Brother!" Wu E's voice carried a hint of ingratiation, "It's me, Wu E!"

From the other side of the mirror came a heavy, suppressed panting filled with pain and fury, like an old bellows being pulled.

"Wu... E?" Chen Niu's voice was hoarse and dry, carrying heavy exhaustion and weakness, as if each word drained his last strength. "What... matter... disturbs my... recovery..." The impatience and weakness in his voice were clearly discernible.

"Elder Brother! A heavenly opportunity! A heavenly opportunity!" Wu E's voice suddenly rose in pitch, seeking credit. "The basin! The center of that basin... has given birth to a Celestial Jade Lion!"

"What?!" The darkness on the other side of the mirror shook violently, the two blood-red lights suddenly blazing brightly.

The panting instantly became rapid and heavy, like a dying beast catching the scent of blood.

"Celestial Jade Lion?! You... are certain?!"

"Absolutely true!" Wu E spoke rapidly, embellishing the story: "Purple-gold crystal body, oppressive aura like a prison!

Those two variables and Chen Huaian joined forces against the Celestial Jade Lion, used all their strength, even broke their swords, but couldn't even scratch the Jade Lion's skin!

Right now they're just standing there disheveled, staring helplessly! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

It's guarding the spot right now, waiting to devour the remaining marrow!"

"Heh... hehehe..." From the other side of the mirror came Chen Niu's low, pleased laughter.

"Good! Very good! Three... ignorant... ants! Serves them right!" He panted a few times, trying hard to calm his turbulent energy and blood. "After the Celestial Jade Lion devours the marrow, it will only become stronger! Those two trash, cough cough, absolutely cannot subdue it in a short time!"

Wu E nodded repeatedly: "Elder Brother speaks wisely! This little brother thinks so too! So what should we do now..."

"Wait!" Chen Niu's voice was decisive, carrying unquestionable fierceness. "Only... three days!"

"After three days, my injuries can stabilize.

At that time... I will communicate with my Upper Realm true body to borrow a trace of True Immortal Demonic Soul essence!

Using a True Immortal Demonic Soul to suppress a heaven and earth spirit creature, the Celestial Jade Lion will be almost unable to resist, and it will ultimately become ours for the taking!"

"True Immortal Demonic Soul?!" Wu E's vertical pupils contracted into thin slits, his face revealing ecstatic joy. "Excellent! Elder Brother is wise! This little brother will stay right here, keeping a tight watch for Elder Brother! I absolutely won't let that Jade Lion escape, and won't let those three trash pick up the advantage!"

"Mmm..." Chen Niu grunted deeply. "Keep a close eye on them, report immediately if anything happens!"

Before his words faded, that Demonic Energy light mirror began to fluctuate violently.

The darkness and blood light in the mirror quickly dimmed and dissipated.

Finally, with a soft "pop" sound, it collapsed into wisps of purple-black Demonic Energy, which Wu E opened his mouth and sucked back in.

Wu E licked his lips, fierce light flashing in his eyes, then returned the way he came.

Meanwhile.

At the center of the basin formation.

Hua Jin the True One looked at the Celestial Jade Lion guarding near the Celestial Jade Marrow birth point like a stubborn squatter and had completely lost the will to confront it.

Chen Huaian sat cross-legged in meditation, seemingly healing his injuries, but in reality he had already put on his VR Headset, chosen to enter the Cangyun Realm with his Divine Soul, leaving his true body on Earth Star.

Regarding how to deal with the Celestial Jade Lion, he already had an idea in mind.
