With a radius of one thousand feet, there were at least a few hundred spirit herbs.
Not to mention the little guy, even Wutian and the beautiful woman's eyes couldn't help but shine.
A few hundred spirit herbs were a considerable fortune no matter where they were placed. No one wouldn't be tempted.
Without any extra words, Wutian took out an empty mustard seed bag and threw it to the little guy. Then, he joined the group of spirit herbs picking.
"Heh, not bad. There are a few Purple Gold Grass here. It's not hard to find."
The six spirit herbs were slim and graceful, about three inches tall. Their roots were purple, and their leaves were golden. They were overflowing with brilliance, full of spirituality. The little guy wiped off its saliva while picking them up and throwing them into the mustard seed bag.
It knew that now was not the time to be greedy.
The night was silent. The three of them were crazily stealing spirit herbs. The beautiful woman was even more incredible. With a wave of her hand, all the spirit herbs within a hundred feet radius were cut off from the roots. Then, they were all thrown into the mustard seed bag cleanly. Seeing this, Wutian and the beautiful woman looked at each other.
Was this still the high and mighty Second Venerable? They seriously doubted it.
Not long after, there was not a single spirit herb left in the herb field. Only the spirit roots buried in the soil were left.
"Beautiful sister, you are too cruel. No matter what, you should leave one for the Fire Cloud Sect!" The little guy picked the last spirit herb and shamelessly said. Then, its long and narrow eyes scanned the surroundings to see if it had missed anything.
"Eh, there really is one!"
The little guy shot out with a swoosh and picked up a small fiery red tree. He happily threw it into the mustard seed bag and said, "Beautiful sister, look, even the last one has been picked by you. You don't understand the principle of a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You are too bad. I have to stay away from you, or else I will be led astray."
The beautiful woman in white smiled, "Let's go quickly. We will distribute them later."
As the Second Venerable of the Asura Palace, if her actions were discovered, she would become a laughing stock. Therefore, they had to leave quickly.
Walking out of the herb field, Wutian said with a deep voice, "Senior, bring me to where Longhu is."
The beautiful woman waved her hand and an unsealing talisman fell from the void. It flew back into her hand and was placed into her mustard seed bag. As for the barrier protecting the medicine field, its light gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Then, with a wave of her hand, the three of them vanished. In the next instant, they appeared in front of a cave-dwelling. Above the cave-dwelling's door, there were several large words, '33rd Cave-Dwelling!', and the cave-dwelling was located on a mountain peak to the left of the medicinal field. This was enough to show that Longhu had already become a personal disciple.
Just like the Yan Sect, the cave dwellings of the direct disciples were built on top of the Spirit Vein.
"Is he already a personal disciple?"
Wutian walked in. The cave was about three hundred meters wide, and there were no other decorations. There were only a dozen or so luminous pearls that emitted a faint light, illuminating the cave.
"Who dares to trespass into my abode?"
When the three of them entered the cave, a loud and clear voice resounded. Who else could it be but Longhu? However, Wutian's face did not show the joy of a reunion. Instead, his heart sank to the bottom. This was because he could hear a thick murderous intent from the voice.
Wutian said, "Longhu, an old friend has come to visit. Are you not going to come out and welcome him?"
"An old friend?"
With a doubtful voice, a tall and sturdy young man walked out from the depths of the cave. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a sturdy back, and a sturdy waist.
Wutian smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a year. Other than your height, your appearance hasn't changed at all."
"You are … Wutian …"
Longhu's eyes widened as he stared at the white-haired young man in front of him. This was such a familiar figure, his childhood friend. However, looking at him now, he felt like a stranger.
"Why? Why do you have to do this? Wutian, hand over your life!"
There was no joy. Instead, a surge of murderous intent rose from Longhu's body. He took a step forward, and the power of fire emerged from his palm. It transformed into a waterfall and surged towards Wutian. The murderous intent filled the entire cave abode.
"Longhu, why are you doing this?!"
Wutian's expression sank, but he did not dodge. He could already see that Longhu's cultivation realm was at the perfect-stage of Reincarnation. It was impossible for him to cause any harm to him.
"Boom!"
The power of fire rushed over ferociously and landed on Wutian's chest. However, Wutian remained motionless and was as steady as Mount Tai.
"I didn't expect you to become so strong after a year!" Longhu's pupils contracted. Soon after, he was filled with murderous intent and said, "No matter how strong you are, I will still kill you to avenge my parents and the entire village."
Longhu's eyes instantly turned blood red. They were filled with a murderous and cruel aura. He took a step forward and pressed forward. His abnormal palm was like a cattail leaf fan as it fiercely swung over.
"Avenge?"
Hearing this, Wutian did not understand. He easily repelled Longhu with a palm and said, "Speak clearly."
"Speak clearly? Fine, I will speak clearly for you. That year, if it wasn't for Grandpa Long Shan taking you in, if it wasn't for everyone taking care of you, you would have already died in the wilderness. However, you don't know how to repay kindness. Instead, you killed all of them. Where is your conscience? "Longhu shouted. His eyes were bloodshot.
Wutian said gloomily, "Who told you that I killed Grandpa and the villagers?"
"Master told me personally. Could it be false?" Longhu's entire body was filled with dense murderous intent. Strands of black qi rose from his body.
"So that's how it is."
Wutian suddenly understood. He had many guesses. In order to deal with him, Fire Venerable would use Longhu and Lin Shan to threaten him. Or to take revenge, he would directly kill the two of them. However, he did not expect Fire Venerable to be so vicious. He would fabricate lies to make him a disloyal and unfilial person.
Wutian looked at him calmly and said, "You believe him?"
Longhu said with a pained heart, "I don't want to believe it. However, all of this was witnessed by Young Sect Master and Senior Sister Liu. How can I not believe it? I know that since you were young, everyone did not think highly of you. They even looked down on you. However … they are still villagers that you have lived with for more than ten years. They are your family. How can you bear to kill them? How can you be so heartless … "
Little Rascal could not stand it anymore and said, "Hey, brat, don't blame Son Of Heaven wrongly. The villagers were killed by Huo Shi and Liu Yan. The reason why they made up these lies was to slander the Son Of Heaven and sow discord between you two. If Son Of Heaven really killed everyone, why would he not hesitate to kill Huo Shi and the others? Why would he ignore the danger and come to visit you? If you can't even see this, you are even more stupid than Han Erhuo. "
"A demonic beast that can talk?!"
Longhu's pupils contracted. He sneered and said, "Why? Do you think I don't know why? Wutian killed Young Sect Master and Senior Sister Liu to silence them? He wants to cover up his crimes. "
"F * ck, you idiot!" Little Rascal rolled his eyes and shrugged at Wutian, expressing his helplessness.
Longhu looked deeply at Wutian. He turned around and said with his back facing them, "Wutian, since we are brothers, I will not make things difficult for you this time. You can leave. However, the next time we meet, we will be irreconcilable enemies. Either you die or I die."
"Brat, you …"
Wutian stopped Little Rascal and said, "One day, you will know the truth. Send my regards to Uncle Lin Shan. Take care!"
After he finished speaking, he nodded at the beautiful woman.
Originally, Wutian wanted to save Longhu and Lin Shan. However, when he saw Longhu's attitude, he knew that some things could not be changed in a short time. He did not plan to visit Lin Shan anymore because he knew that the result would be the same.
The beautiful woman waved her hand. With a flash of light, the three of them quickly disappeared from the cave.
At this moment, Longhu turned around and looked at the empty place. His eyes were filled with pain and helplessness.
"Do you really think that I don't know the truth? However, I have no choice but to do this. Right now, only you and I are left in the village. The blood feud of the village cannot be shouldered by you alone. I also want to do my part."
… …
After returning to the Jade Mountain Residence, Little Rascal and the beautiful woman began to distribute the elixirs while Wutian walked into Chu Yiyan's room.
Looking at his lover who was sleeping in front of him, he slowly poured out the helplessness in his heart.
The threat of the Great Honored Warrior, Han Tian and Little Rascal's life and freedom, Longhu's misunderstanding, and the wronged souls of the entire village. All of these made him physically and mentally exhausted.
"Yi Yan, tell me, what should I do …"
If he did not agree to the Great Honored Warrior, how could Han Tian and Little Rascal's seemingly simple wish be fulfilled? If the Fire Cloud Sect was not destroyed, how could the villagers who died unjustly rest in peace? When would Longhu's misunderstanding be resolved?
On the other hand, he had not found his parents, had not seen their faces, and had not asked them why they abandoned him. How could he just die like this?
His heart was in a mess. It was really hard for him to make a decision.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the appearance setting pearl flashed and showed signs of dimming.
Wutian was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Senior!"
Before his voice fell, the beautiful woman had already appeared beside him.
"Senior, what is going on?"
The beautiful woman sighed and said, "The appearance setting pearl can only last for two months. After two months, it will lose its effect."
"Isn't that …"
Wutian did not even dare to think about the consequences of the appearance setting pearl losing its effect.
"That's right. The appearance setting pearl has lost its effect. Her body will turn into ashes within three days."
Wutian said anxiously, "Is there any way to stop it?"
"There is!" The beautiful woman looked at Wutian and said, "Furthermore, if you agree to our request, there is a way to bring Chu Yiyan back to life!"
"What …"
Wutian suddenly stood up and stared at the beautiful woman with a burning gaze. He immediately calmed down and said, "Do you have any way to bring her back to life?"
The beautiful woman remained silent for a while and said, "I don't mind telling you. The reason why Kong Lingzi's remnant soul desired the Heavenly Yin Fruit so much is because the Heavenly Yin Fruit has the miraculous effect of bringing a living being back to life."
"Heavenly Yin Fruit!"
Wutian sneered and said, "I have the Absolute Yin Token. I can go to the Absolute Yin Ruins and get it myself. Why should I agree to your request? Tell me, it should be more than that."
"Hehe, you are very smart."
The beautiful woman said with a smile, "Firstly, the Absolute Yin Ruins are extremely dangerous. With your own strength, you will not be able to safely reach the depths. You will need the help of the Asura Palace.
Secondly, the Absolute Yin Ruins will only open after ten years. Within these ten years, if you do not have a treasure like the appearance setting pearl, your lover will completely die. At that time, even if you are lucky enough to obtain the Heavenly Yin Fruit, it will be useless. As long as you agree to our request, the Asura Palace will help you.
Thirdly, although the Heavenly Yin Fruit has the ability to bring someone back to life, it requires a Yuan Spirit. If you do not have a Yuan Spirit, you will need at least a remnant soul. However, Chu Yiyan's three spiritual and seven physical souls have been shattered by the Empty Spirit Sword. Therefore, you will need to rely on a Great Honored Warrior to condense a remnant soul with his great power. "
The beautiful woman continued, "In fact, you do not have a choice. Only by agreeing to our request can you set your friend free and exchange for your lover's life."
