No matter what, subduing the Dark City Lord was a good thing.
The Dark City Lord bitterly smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Since I am now serving you, can you first give me the heart fire?"
After a moment of silence, Wutian didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Without the heart fire, you can't unseal yourself?"
"I can, but I can't use elemental power or soul force. I can't open my eyes either. I'm the same as a cripple. If I have the heart fire, I can use it other than opening my eyes. However, I can't fight for a long time. If the battle is too long or too intense, the demon spirit will be awakened. "
The Dark City Lord nodded and shook his head. His tone was filled with melancholy and disappointment.
The dignified Dark City Lord had a respected status and strength, but in the end, he had become someone else's minion. No matter who it was, they wouldn't feel good!
"I don't need your help for the time being, so you just obediently follow by my side. Also, I don't care what you were called before. From now on, you will be called 'Shadow'. You will be my shadow and kill all those who want to kill me in the cradle!" Wutian lightly said. His tone was calm, but it was filled with a domineering aura.
"It seems I won't be able to gain his trust for the time being." The Dark City Lord thought to himself. This child's temperament was truly terrifying. Whether it was vigilance, steadiness, or scheming, he was no worse than some old monsters that had lived for countless years.
"Shadow …"
The Dark City Lord muttered several words and then nodded. "Little friend … Young Master, don't worry. I will do my best."
Wutian said, "Unseal yourself and give me the Saint Grade Forbidden Symbol."
The Shadow nodded. He slowly raised his withered hand. Since it hadn't moved for countless years, it seemed like it had become rusty. Suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound!
"Unseal!"
With a shout, as if some kind of shackle had been unlocked, a rumble erupted from the Dark City Lord's body. His body trembled and a faintly discernible aura spread out in all directions with him as the center!
Wutian was shocked. From this aura, he could actually sense the smell of death!
One had to know that this was just the aura that Shadow naturally exuded. He didn't deliberately release it, but it had already brought him such a strong sense of fear. If he fully unleashed it, just how strong would he be?
What level of cultivation was he at before he sealed himself?!
"Shua!" Shadow suddenly stood up and stretched his body. Immediately, a series of crisp sounds rang out, as if firecrackers were being set off.
"How many years has it been? Even this Old Man has forgotten how many years it has been since I last moved, "Shadow muttered to himself as he stood there in a daze. For a moment, he didn't say anything as he was filled with emotions.
After a while, Wutian waved his hand. The fiery red barrier shook, and a fiery red Forbidden Talisman appeared. Then, the barrier collapsed and disappeared. The Forbidden Talisman flew through the air and floated in front of Wutian, shining with hazy light.
"Saint-tier forbidden talisman!"
Wutian was incomparably excited. He grabbed the Forbidden Talisman and poured his soul power into it. Before he even began to comprehend it, waves of dizziness immediately swept through his mind.
"Saint-tier forbidden talismans are indeed extraordinary. The degree of profoundness is far from what I can understand now." Wutian muttered and put the Forbidden Talisman into his bosom. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept up Shadow and quickly rushed to the ground.
In the sky above Great Shadow Peak, three figures gathered. All of them had anxious and worried expressions.
"Sikong Yanran, are you sure that Wutian ordered us not to follow him?" Looking at the beautiful woman beside him, Han Tian frowned. His eyes flickered with a sharp light, and his tone was somewhat unfriendly.
"En, this little girl doesn't dare to lie." Sikong Yanran nodded. Her delicate and beautiful face was also filled with worry.
"It's been half a year, and he still hasn't come out. No, I have to go down and take a look." Tian Gang said in a deep voice. His figure moved and quickly swooped down.
"I didn't expect that half a year had passed. I thought it would only be a few hours at most!"
Just at this moment, a slightly surprised voice suddenly rang out from underground. Tian Gang's figure paused as he looked over in surprise. He saw that a certain part of the ground below had suddenly started to rumble as a figure soared up into the sky, bringing with it a cloud of dust.
This person was Wutian!
Several people hurried to greet him. Han Tian directly punched Wutian and said with a sullen face, "You bastard, you came out half a year ago. I thought you were dead and was ready to collect your corpse."
"Who is he?" Tian Gang glanced at Shadow behind Wutian and frowned slightly. His face was full of surprise and vigilance.
"He is a friend I met underground. His name is Shadow. Thanks to him, I could successfully kill Dark Castellan. But in the end, he was seriously injured and couldn't use the power of elements for a short time. Besides, he had been sealed for countless years and had nowhere to go. So he decided to stay and go to the Samsara Continent with me." Wutian explained with a smile.
The purpose of his words was nothing more than to reassure Sikong Yanran. The death of Dark Castellan meant that there was no more danger to the Sikong Clan.
Moreover, since Dark Castellan was named Shadow and became his shadow, there was no need for his real identity to be known.
"Senior Shadow, thank you very much."
Han Tian and the others suddenly understood and cupped their hands to thank him.
As a giant of a generation, Shadow had lived for many years. How could he not understand Wutian's meaning? But he didn't expose him. He cupped his hands and smiled. "It's nothing. Don't mention it. Little brothers, don't be so polite."
Wutian looked around, his face crawling with a touch of suspicion, and asked: "Where are the others?"
At this point, Han Tian and Tian Gang's faces became extremely gloomy.
Han Tian said in a deep voice, "Half a month after you went underground, the Great Venerable sent a message to the One-armed Master. He said that Demon Emperor Shun Tian of the Dragon God Mountain Range issued a notice in person, ordering the Asura Palace to pull out the Zhongyao Continent. Otherwise, he would lead the nine demon tribes to attack the Asura Palace."
"Demon Emperor Shun Tian is still alive, but he shouldn't have come out to meddle in other people's business." A cold light flashed in Wutian's eyes. He had never forgotten that Demon Emperor Shun Tian had issued a kill order for him.
Moreover, if Wutian's guess was correct, the murderous intent that wanted to kill him back then was either Demon Emperor Shun Tian or some powerful existence in the Dragon God Mountain Range. He hadn't forgotten this debt. Sooner or later, he would settle it.
Han Tian glanced at him and continued, "After receiving this news, Great Guardian Ye Yi immediately led everyone back. Jian Yi and the others also said that they would help. As for the little guy and the five beasts, they said that they would go to the Dragon God Mountain Range to check it out. But Tian Gang and I agreed that their real goal was probably the treasures of the demon tribes."
"They even dared to set their sights on the Dragon God Mountain Range. They are really a bunch of bastards who can't Wutian." Tian Gang said rather helplessly.
Wutian waved his hand and said, "It's okay. There is a swarm of Blood Devouring Insects in the Dragon God Mountain Range. There is no need to worry about their safety. Besides, at this time, it might not be a bad thing to let them go to the lairs of the demon tribes to mess around."
After integrating the Asura Palace, the insect swarm was sent to the Dragon God Mountain Range by the Insect King. Their purpose was, of course, to eat. It was estimated that after this period of devouring, many Blood Devouring Insects had evolved into Beast Kings.
"Oh right."
Han Tian patted his head and took out three mustard seed bags. He threw them to Wutian and said, "Great Guardian Ye Yi told me to give you these mustard seed bags. She said that there are a lot of materials inside. But don't worry, Tian Gang and I didn't take a look."
"Really?" Wutian looked at the two of them strangely.
"That's enough. We did take a few glances, but we didn't take them. Ye Yi and the others, on the other hand, look at how satisfied they were. I'm guessing they've hidden quite a lot." Han Tian rolled his eyes in displeasure.
Wutian shook his head and said, "I didn't intend to take them all. You can rest assured. I will ask Little Wu Hao to make a set of armor for each of you."
"That's great!" Hearing this, the two were overjoyed. They already had Emperor Weapons. If they also had a set of armor, wouldn't they be able to kill anything in their way?
After a quick glance and checking the three mustard seed bags, even with Wutian's temperament, he couldn't help but be absent-minded. He couldn't speak for a long time.
There were too many types of materials. They were all familiar to him, such as Purple Gold Godly Iron, Obsidian, Gold Mystic Stone, Fire God Stone, Dragon Blood Jade, and so on. There were also many materials that he didn't recognize. The three mustard seed bags were stuffed to the brim.
"It's incredible that there are so many treasures in the Dark City."
Wutian exclaimed. The number of materials was obviously beyond his expectations. If he added the materials that Ye Yi and the others shared, they could probably fill up four mustard seed bags.
After sending the three mustard seed bags into the Star Realm, Wutian looked at Sikong Yanran. He couldn't speak the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing this, the taciturn Tiangang frowned and said, "Wutian, the matter here is almost over. Shouldn't we return to the Samsara Continent?"
Han Tian also echoed, "Yes, our opponent this time is not the Yan Sect or the Fire Cloud Sect, but the Dragon God Mountain Range. It's a colossus that even the Great Guardian and the others are afraid of. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed eternally. So now is not the time to be sentimental. We must hurry back to help everyone and overcome this calamity together."
Hearing this, Wutian didn't hesitate. He nodded and said, "You go to the altar first. I'll come later. An Ying, you come with me."
"Hurry up."
Han Tian urged. Then he and Tiangang rolled up An Ying and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
After watching the three leave, Sikong Yanran withdrew her gaze and looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Is what Feng Wu said true?"
Hearing this, Wutian's pupils shrank. After thinking for a while, he simply nodded and admitted it. There was no need to deny it. He had to face this matter sooner or later.
"Then what do you plan to do? Are you going to kill me and revive Chu Yiyan, or let me go and let Chu Yiyan continue to sleep?" Sikong Yanran's face was calm and her tone was indifferent, as if she was talking about something completely unrelated to her.
Wutian shook his head and sighed, "I don't know. But I'll definitely make a choice in the future. If I really do attack you then, I hope you can forgive me."
"Let's talk about the future in the future!" After Sikong Yanran finished speaking, she actually revealed a smile, like a pure white lily in full bloom, beautiful and moving.
She stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of me these days. After I've dealt with the matters in the Dark City, I'll go to the Samsara Continent and see what the place where I lived in my previous life is like. At that time, don't think I'm troublesome and ignore me! "
To be honest, he was a little unaccustomed to Sikong Yanran's change. He thought that after learning about this matter, she would avoid him or show hostility to him. He didn't expect her to be so relaxed and kind.
Wutian shook his head and laughed. He stretched out his hand and gently grasped it. He didn't say anything. Everything was understood without words.
As if thinking of something, Wutian withdrew his hand and took out a palm-sized flagon from his arms. This was the Drunken Immortal Flagon.
After looking at it, Wutian handed it to her and said with a smile, "This is what Madman Shao has always wanted. Give it to him for me and tell him that I look forward to the day when I can hear the name of the Drunken Immortal in the Samsara Continent."
"I will." Sikong Yanran nodded.
"See you later!"
Wu Tian clasped his hands together and waved his hand. A man in white appeared out of thin air. Then, without any hesitation, he turned into a ray of light and chased after Han Tian and the others. A voice rang out, echoing between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.
"Jun Haotian, you stay in the Dark City to assist Sikong Yanran. If anyone dares to disobey her, kill them without mercy!"
Yes, the man in white who suddenly appeared was Jun Haotian!
Jun Haotian, who had just come out of the Star Realm, had yet to react when he heard the voice coming from afar. Immediately, his face, which was quite pleasing to the eye, became extremely interesting.
"Am … am I a f * cking tragedy?"
Finally, all the emotions on his face turned into endless anger. He couldn't help but roar at the sky.
"Why me again? Why not Sword Four and the others? Corps Commander, f * cking hell, tell me why …"
