Chapter 121: A Powerful Opponent, the Mysterious Butterfly!

  "What? You said you met the elder of the Duanjin clan?" He Lian Shuo's voice suddenly rose, his hands unconsciously clenched tightly on He Lian Nuo's shoulders. After getting He Lian Nuo's affirmative reply, he stared wide-eyed, his slightly red face revealing that he was extremely excited at this moment.

  "That's great, really great! If we can reunite the five branches of Heli, our progress in reviving Heli will be greatly accelerated. You know, these five branches were once powerful forces second only to the ancient four tribes!" Helian Shuo excitedly rubbed his hands together, his crazy joy hard to conceal.

  "If this... were to bring the Duan Jin clan back to He Lian, I'm afraid it would still be a bit difficult...", He Lian rubbed his head and didn't seem as optimistic as his brother.

  "Huh? Why? Didn't you say their elder had already surrendered to you?" Herlian Shuo's smile suddenly froze, clearly startled by Herlian Nuo's uncertain tone. Having finally found a powerful ally, if they couldn't successfully subdue it, it would be a huge loss for the Herlian clan!

  "Luo Tian said that surrendering to me is not a problem, but he has already said it, only surrendering to one person. The five branches of the Helian clan had made an oath back then, unless the complete Heavenly Wolf Sacred Seal appears, they will forever hide and never come out again. Although I have already fulfilled their condition, several hundred years have passed, whether or not they are willing to surrender to the completely fallen Helian is still an unknown number!" Helian Nuo let out a light sigh, although he didn't want to strike his second brother, but also couldn't help but speak the truth.

  "You've obtained the complete Heavenly Wolf Sacred Mark? Alright, Old Three, you've brought me too many surprises"

  "! The elder of the Duanjin clan's status in the clan is second only to the clan leader. Since that Luo Tian has already surrendered to you, the Duanjin clan should not have any objections either. As for whether they will return to He Lian, we'll discuss it later!", He Lian Shuo did not look as dejected as He Lian Nuo had expected. For him, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he must grasp it firmly. The He Lian clan had been in decline for too long, and they had no choice but to fight for every possible advantage!

  He Lianuo nodded, this matter was indeed urgent, anyway he would go to the Duanjin clan's hiding place after returning to the secular world, all uncertain factors would be solved one by one at that time.

  "Alright, don't think too much, hurry up and hunt for some game, Fei Bai and You Ruo are probably getting impatient! I'll go take a look over there, you search around here, Xiao Qing has already checked and there's no soul beast or human aura within a few miles, as long as we don't go too far it's very safe!" He Lian Shuo finished speaking and entered a dense forest by himself. He Lian Nuo stood still for a moment before turning her head around and searching for prey in the opposite direction.

  The most abundant resource in this forest of fireflies is the soul beast. Not long after, Helianuo had already caught a few wild rabbits that were knocked unconscious, and the bloody smell made the animals that were originally not afraid of humans scatter. Seeing that the prey was enough, Helianuo didn't chase them anymore. The air in the forest was fresh and natural, and being in it made him feel like all the impurities in his body had been cleansed. Since his second brother hadn't returned yet, Helianuo lay down under a big tree and closed his eyes contentedly.

  When he was lying comfortably, Helian's nose suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation. He slowly opened his eyes to find a small butterfly perched on the tip of his nose, gently flapping its wings. Seeing this butterfly, Heliano involuntarily thought back to that period under the Yuhuang tree. Every spring and summer, large groups of butterflies would flutter around the Yuhuang tree. Compared to this delicate little butterfly in front of him, the ones under the Yuhuang tree were more colorful and beautiful. And there was also a girl as light and lovely as a butterfly, Chongchong.

  "Chong Chong, how have you been since I left?" Thinking of Chong Chong, He Lian Nu's heart suddenly felt a pang. It had been many days since he left the You Yue Forest, and although these days hadn't been unhappy, they lacked the carefree joy he used to feel when he was with Chong Chong. In one's lifetime, you will meet many people, each giving you different things. For He Lian Nu, Nan Huan Yue gave him motherly love, He Lian Shuang gave him a teacher's kindness, Xiao Lang gave him friendship, Lei Shuo gave him reliance, and what did Chong Chong give him? Even now, He Lian Nu himself couldn't say for sure.

  Khalen instinctively stretched out his fingers to touch the butterfly, and for some reason, this butterfly gave him a special feeling.

  "Foolish little brat, take away your ugly palm, noble butterfly, it's not something you're qualified to touch"

  !" Suddenly, a sharp female voice entered Helian's mind.

  "Who is it?", Helianthus suddenly stood up and looked around, but apart from some soul beasts, he didn't find anyone.

  "Foolish child, the Butterfly Empress is right on your body, what are you still looking for?" The female voice sounded again, her tone still cold and arrogant.

  "Could it be... you're the butterfly on me?", Helianthus's eyes widened as he scanned himself, but apart from the butterfly still perched on his nose, he didn't find anything else.

  "You're not too stupid, but the name 'Butterfly' doesn't suit me, the great and almighty Master Butterfly. From now on, I grant you the privilege of addressing me as 'Master'!" The haughty female voice spoke slowly and deliberately, making it seem like allowing Helianthus to call her "Master" was a gracious favor.

  "Are you really this butterfly? Well, call your master! Be careful or I'll slap you to death!", He Lianuo didn't show too much surprise at the butterfly's speech. Gong Sun had mentioned before that some species of soul beasts were born with the ability to speak, but the vast majority could not, and those that could generally did not have too much strength.

  "You insignificant little thing, how dare you speak to Lady Youdie like that? Alright, considering your performance, I'll grant you suffering!" Just then, the butterfly's long proboscis suddenly stretched out and stuck onto Helianuo's nose.

  He Lianuo was about to speak, but the soul power in his body suddenly condensed and then violently boiled up like boiling water. As the soul power circulated abnormally, every inch of He Lianuo's organs felt a sharp pain as if being pricked by needles. He clutched his stomach and struggled for a while before falling to the ground and rolling around!

  "This is a small punishment for your disrespect to the great Butterfly, little one. Kneel down and beg for mercy! The great Butterfly is magnanimous and will grant you forgiveness!" A proud female voice rang out coldly, clearly, she was not just talking big, she really had the power to inflict pain on others!

  He Lian Nu clenched his teeth in pain, struggled to kneel on one knee, but he didn't beg for mercy. Instead, he trembled and stretched out his left hand, arduously raising a middle finger!

  The descendants of Khelan's family have never begged for mercy from their opponents. They only have two choices: death or victory!

  "You're quite resilient, little one! It seems I'll have to bestow upon you even more exquisite pain!" The demon butterfly let out a cold hum, and suddenly burst forth with a radiant seven-colored glow.

  "Ah"

  "Ah!", Huren finally couldn't hold it in, and let out a heavenward scream. If the previous pain was like being pricked by needles, then the current pain was like being cut by knives, slicing through every inch of his nerves. Huren had experienced many battles before and had been injured countless times, but this level of pain was still something he had never experienced before!

  "You still refuse to surrender? I don't believe it, the gift of the great Butterfly Fairy, and yet there's someone who can actually reject it!", The Butterfly Fairy's tone grew increasingly icy, her petite body swayed again, and the seven-colored light burst forth with even greater brilliance!

  He Lianuo struggled to pull out the long knife from his waist, tightly biting the back of the knife. The pain had already made his consciousness somewhat blurred. He knew he couldn't fall down, once he fell down, he would be at the mercy of others. He didn't want his fate to be controlled by someone else!

  Seeing the corners of Helian's mouth and nose bleeding, Youdie also became somewhat flustered. After all, her purpose in appearing was not to torment Helian. If she killed him, Youdie would also suffer some loss.

  Slowly withdrawing the light, the demon butterfly coldly said: "Little boy, you still have some backbone, I'll spare your life for now. However, even if you're made of iron, in the end you'll still have to surrender to the Demon Butterfly's power. Wipe away those filthy bloodstains, from now on, you're the Demon Butterfly's first slave!"

  He Lianuo slowly opened his mouth, the long knife clanged to the ground, two deep teeth marks were clearly visible on the back of the knife. He lifted his sleeve to wipe away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, and slowly stood up. The small butterfly had already flown to one side, lightly landing in front of him.

  "I don't care who you are or what your purpose is, but asking me to be your servant? Impossible! And for the pain you made me endure just now, I'll make you pay the price!", Helianuo threw off his upper garment, revealing a robust physique.

  "Has your fighting spirit burst forth? Hmph, with this bit of strength, the Butterfly Empress wouldn't even bother to glance at you. However, if not for the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Mark on your chest, by now, you would already be a dead man!", The Butterfly floated lightly in mid-air, not taking Helianuo's threat seriously, as she saw Helianuo's Soul Servant sixth-stage strength as nothing much of a threat!

  Ignoring the butterfly's disdain, Helian No bent down to pick up his long knife and fiercely slashed at the butterfly in mid-air. The butterfly did not dodge, but when the knife was about to reach it, it seemed to be entwined by an invisible force, unable to move forward even a single inch!

  "Kid, I've told you before, in the face of Lady Youdie's overwhelming power, your little tricks are nothing. Don't try to shake the tree again, be a good slave and swear by Lady Youdie's name, you'll definitely get unexpected benefits!" Youdie said with a relaxed tone of sarcasm.
