When Mu Xiao heard the black-robed man's words, a touch of hesitation appeared on his face.
But after a moment, his brows slowly relaxed and he had made a decision in his heart.
"Can you really help me integrate the Demons bloodline?" Mu Xiao raised his head and asked in a dignified tone.
"Of course, if I can do it, I can naturally help you do it." The black-robed man said confidently.
As he spoke, he deliberately condensed a cloud of demonic qi in his palm and showed it to Mu Xiao. The demonic qi was so dense that it was almost solid.
"Forget it, even if I can survive today, I will still be trapped here in the future and be imprisoned forever. Instead of that, it is better to give it a try." Mu Xiao sighed as if he had made a decision.
"Well, with the help of Taoist friend Mu Xiao, success is more promising." The black-robed man patted Mu Xiao on the shoulder and smiled.
"Don't be happy too early. If I find out that you lied to me, then I will drag you down with me even if I have to sacrifice my soul." Mu Xiao squinted his eyes and said in a warning tone.
"Haha, a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. Taoist friend Mu Xiao, rest assured that I can get your help, I can't wait to be happy. Why would I harm you? I will repay you generously. "The black-robed man patted his chest and laughed.
"I hope you can keep your promise." Mu Xiao said indifferently.
"Well, since we have formed an alliance, there is no need to kill. Tell me, what is the situation in the Spirit Cave?" The black-robed man asked in a low voice.
"Spirit Cave? The inside of the Spirit Cave was currently occupied by a gigantic armor the size of a city. Any shapeshifted demon that dared to approach would be attacked by the armor. Those who were slow or blindly confident were basically caught. Only a few lucky ones were able to escape alive. "Mu Xiao said.
"Then … what about Zi Zhu?" The black-robed man's eyes flashed and asked again.
"Well, his luck is not so good. His body has now fallen into the hands of the giant city. Only his soul escaped by chance." Mu Xiao sneered.
The black-robed man heard this and fell silent. He did not say anything more and just let Mu Xiao lead the way.
…
At the same time, in another region.
Amidst the ruins, a yellow halo lit up on the ground. Two figures, one dragging the other, broke through the ground and emerged from the ground.
They were none other than Shen Luo and Yan Wushi, who had used Earth Escape to reach this place.
"Brother Shen, I was almost killed by you just now." Yan Wushi let out a sigh and sighed.
"Brother Yan is exaggerating. Didn't we come out safe and sound?" Shen Luo said with a smile.
With that, he flipped his hand and took out the black jade plate. He gently stroked it with his palm, and a white dot of light immediately appeared on the jade plate. It represented the young master.
Immediately after, another smaller and dimmer light spot lit up.
Yan Wushi had been a little disgruntled at first, but when he saw a new dot of light appear on the black jade plate, his interest was immediately piqued.
"What is this? Why is there another one?" He couldn't help but ask.
"I took the opportunity to leave this imprint on the short black and yellow ruler when it was snatched away. As long as the black-robed man keeps the ruler on him, we can know his position and movements at any time. "Shen Luo answered.
"So you're saying that you purposely let him snatch away that black and yellow ruler?" Yan Wushi was surprised.
Shen Luo paused for a moment and touched his nose. His face showed a trace of thoughtfulness. He did not admit or deny it.
But in reality, he did not think so. He only did it because he had no choice.
"He moved …."
After Yan Wushi shouted, Shen Luo came back to his senses and saw the dot of light on the black jade plate moving quickly. The direction it was heading was basically the same as where they were going.
"Let's go, we have to continue on our way." Shen Luo said.
…
The two didn't walk for long when a black bamboo forest appeared in front of them. The spirit energy in the surroundings was dense and filled with a faint mist. One look and one could tell it was unusual.
After Shen Luo took a closer look, he found that the bamboos growing in this black bamboo forest were all as thick as a child's arm and very straight. But the strange thing was that they only had a main trunk and no branches or leaves.
"This … seems to be Nether Spring Bamboo." Yan Wushi suddenly said.
"Nether Spring Bamboo?" Shen Luo was surprised. He had never heard of it before.
"It is a type of spirit bamboo that is of the yin attribute and is extremely tough. It is an essential spirit material for forging many artifacts and armor. However, it is not considered rare. It grows in many places with dense yin energy but no fiendish energy." Yan Wushi explained.
When Shen Luo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have discovered something.
He quickly ran into the bamboo forest and passed through clumps of black bamboo. When he reached the center of the bamboo forest, he stopped.
In front of him, there was a black bamboo that was about ten feet tall and as thick as a thumb.
This bamboo was different from the slightly thicker bamboos around it. Although it was also black, there was a hint of purple in the black. It glowed with a jade-like luster, and there were faint golden patterns inside.
But the most important thing was that the spirit energy coming from this black bamboo was more than ten times stronger than the other black bamboos around it.
Yan Wushi also rushed over. When he saw that slender black bamboo, his eyes lit up.
"Its body is like purple jade, with golden patterns. This is the best of the Nether Spring Bamboo. It's the real Nether Spring Spirit Bamboo. Brother Shen, I didn't expect that our luck would be so good to come across this thing." Yan Wushi exclaimed happily.
Shen Luo obviously knew that this was good stuff. Without saying anything, he squatted down and started digging.
"No, no …" Yan Wushi saw this and hurriedly shouted.
Shen Luo stopped. He raised his head and asked, "Why not?"
"Brother Shen, you don't know. If this purple jade bamboo grows in the Nether Spring Bamboo forest, it will be the place where the spirit energy of the entire bamboo forest gathers. It will be nourished by the earth, and it will also nourish the other Nether Spring Bamboo. Once it is dug away, the other black bamboos will lose their spirit energy and their quality will be greatly reduced," Yan Wushi said with a pained expression.
"Then what do we do? We can't possibly not take this bamboo that is already in our hands, right?" Shen Luo frowned.
Yan Wushi hurriedly explained, "Of course not, Brother Shen. As long as we dig up the other Spirit Bamboos before taking this one, we'll be able to ensure that the other Spirit Bamboos are in good condition. After that, we'll wait for a while and dig up the best one. That way, we'll be able to gather all of the scattered Spirit Qi into this Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo. This is the best way to get the best of both worlds.
"I see. I've learned a lot." Shen Luo nodded with a smile.
"Help me dig up the bamboo." Then, he patted the Qiankun bag on his waist and summoned Ghost General Zhao Feiji.
After saying that, the man and ghost started digging through the bamboo forest.
