In two days, Ling Xiao had gathered a large number of herbs deep in the mountains. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, his Mountain River World was big enough to accommodate them.
He wasn't sure what kind of pills he would refine in the future.
Therefore, the more herbs he had, the better.
Moreover, the herbs in the Black Tortoise Continent were much better than those in the Divine Phoenix Continent. He even wanted to move the entire Feather Mountain Range.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to do so.
Hm?
Isn't that Lord Lin?
On the afternoon of the second day, Ling Xiao had already entered deeper into the wilderness than the previous time.
To ensure his safety, he used his Taiji Eye to carefully observe his surroundings.
Suddenly, he saw a figure a few kilometers away.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Lord Lin of the Eight Immortals County!
"What is this fellow doing here instead of supervising the assessment?"
Ling Xiao was puzzled, so he sped up and flew forward. After about half a kilometer, his Taiji Eye became clearer.
A few hundred meters away from Lord Lin, a ferocious demon beast was crouching.
This demon beast's strength had reached the peak of the half-step Yin-Yang Realm.
This was a true Grotto-Heaven Demon King!
This demon beast looked like a huge lion, but it was a little strange.
This lion's body was black like coal, but its eyes emitted a golden light that made people tremble.
"Golden-eyed Black Lion!"
Ling Xiao remembered that there was such a ferocious creature in the book.
According to the book, wherever the Golden-eyed Black Lion appeared, the "Hell Fruit" would definitely appear.
Ling Xiao looked in the direction of the Golden-eyed Black Lion and was overjoyed.
There really was a fruit tree about a meter tall there, and there were four fruits on the tree that emitted the aura of hell.
The fruit looked strange, like a ball of black flame.
They looked like they hadn't ripened yet.
The Hell Fruit was good stuff. Directly consuming it could greatly increase a Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist's cultivation.
The amount of increase depended on the individual's potential.
If it was refined into the "Yin-Yang Hell Pill" and directly consumed, it could allow a half-step Yin-Yang Realm martial artist to step into the Yin-Yang Realm without any hindrance.
This was definitely a divine pill.
No wonder Master Lin was guarding there. It was probably for the Hell Fruit.
However, based on Ling Xiao's understanding of the Hell Fruit, it would take at least ten days for it to ripen.
Master Lin did not understand these things, which was why he had been guarding this place. Otherwise, as long as the Golden Eyed Black Lion was here, no one would dare to casually pick it.
"Hehe, no matter what, help me guard it. I, Ling Xiao, will definitely get the Hell Fruit."
With a sneer, Ling Xiao changed his direction and fled to the other side.
After running for about a mile, he suddenly stopped.
"Your Excellency has been following me for so long. Aren't you afraid of being tired?"
Ling Xiao turned around and looked at a dense patch of shrubs as he spoke.
From the bushes, a cold light suddenly shot out and attacked Ling Xiao. Then, a figure rushed over almost at the same time.
Ling Xiao saw it clearly in an instant.
It was none other than one of Master Lin's three subordinates, a guy whose cultivation had reached Grotto-Heaven Realm Nine.
His face turned cold. He had already warned these bastards not to attack him. This guy actually attacked him directly?
In that case, don't blame him.
Seeing the cold light fly over, Ling Xiao instantly activated the Hell Dragon Seal and entered his Hell Human Dragon form.
In that instant, his aura suddenly soared, and his battle strength rose by at least three realms.
His cultivation was originally at the middle level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, which was equivalent to an ordinary warrior's Grotto-Heaven Realm Six cultivation.
Now that his battle strength had risen by three realms, it was equivalent to his opponent's realm.
Under such circumstances, he had always been able to crush his opponents.
"Clang!"
The cold light was sent flying by Ling Xiao's casual slap.
How could the tough dragon claw be so easily pierced?
That person seemed to have realized that the situation was not good. He turned around and tried to escape, but suddenly, an ice arrow shot down from the sky. Although it did not pierce through that person, it made that person stagger and his movements become much slower.
It was naturally the Godly Codex that had released the secret ice arrow.
"Beautiful!"
Ling Xiao praised. He instantly appeared in front of that person and grabbed his neck with his terrifying dragon claw. Then, he activated his Three Leaf Demon Eyes.
Soul capture!
He wanted to find out something from this person, but was too lazy to ask. Therefore, he decided to use the Three Leaf Demon Eyes to capture the soul.
"Why are you following me?"
Ling Xiao asked.
That person's eyes were glazed over as he replied mechanically, "Lord Lin ordered me to kill anyone within a one-mile radius of the Hell Fruit!"
"I see. Tell me everything you know about the Ascension Sacrifice."
Ling Xiao said again.
"The County Governor ordered us to assist the younger generation of the Chen Family to kill the younger generation of the Ling Family. The battle has been going on for a long time, and not many of the younger generation of the Ling Family are left."
That person answered.
"What!"
Ling Xiao had previously predicted that the Chen Family would make a move, but he did not expect it to be to this extent.
"If anything happens to Jiaojiao, I will make your County Governor pay with his life."
Ling Xiao suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the ninth Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist died on the spot. He was burned to ashes by the black flames.
"Godly Codex, let's go!"
Ling Xiao used the Meteor Steps and shuttled through the dense forest. Godly Codex flew back into Ling Xiao's storage ring.
Although it was just a small demonstration, Ling Xiao and Godly Codex worked well together.
Godly Codex's secret sword attack might not be very powerful, but it could be of great use at critical moments.
For Ling Xiao, Godly Codex was a great help at this stage.
"Godly Codex, as long as you help me sincerely, I will definitely help you break the seal and reconstruct your physical body."
Ling Xiao was a very simple person. He would treat anyone who treated him well well.
If the Ling Family had treated him slightly better, he would have repaid them generously.
Unfortunately, they did not. The Ling Family had completely disappointed him.
He was not going to save others. He was going purely for Ling Jiaojiao.
Ling Xiao opened his Tai Chi Eye and could clearly see the situation a few miles ahead. In addition to that person's guidance, he did not want to go in the wrong direction.
As for why the Chen Family would join forces with the County Governor of the Eight Immortals County to eliminate the Ling Family, he did not know.
He did not want to know.
Because to him, it did not matter much.
His figure streaked through the forest like a meteor. Many corpses began to appear on the ground.
Most of them were from the Ling Family. Occasionally, one or two corpses of the Chen Family's disciples would appear.
After all, the Ling Family's martial artists were not to be trifled with.
Ling Jian, Ling Jiaojiao, and Ling Yan were not to be trifled with.
There were people there!
About five to six miles away, Ling Xiao saw a few people surrounded by the Chen Family.
However, the aura was too chaotic, and he could not see who was there.
