The night sky was like a black curtain that silently enveloped the sky above Emerald Green City. The silvery fragmentary stars adorned the empty sky. A bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling a snowy glow that illuminated the entire Emerald Green City in the dark night.
Xiao Yan and the others sat in the Yunyin Pavilion, occasionally chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Suddenly, Luo Ao, who was chatting, seemed to have thought of something. His relaxed eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly, and he immediately looked up at Xiao Yan.
Seeing Luo Ao's strange look, Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly startled. Then, he smiled slightly and said to Luo Ao,
"Elder Luo, do you have something to say to me? If you do, don't be shy. Just say it. "
Hearing this, Elder Luo frowned slightly and nodded. He signaled Zhang Yi with his eyes. Zhang Yi immediately understood and nodded. His body wriggled for a while and disappeared from the pavilion.
Seeing this, Luo Ao nodded with satisfaction. His eyes fell on Xiao Yan, and a solemn expression appeared on his old face. He said in a deep voice,
"Yes, I do have something to tell you. This matter is related to the Ginseng Spiritual Tribe."
"Hmm?"
As soon as Luo Ao finished speaking, Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly surprised. He was secretly in awe.
Wasn't the matter of the Ginseng Spiritual Tribe solved? Why did something happen again?
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's expression gradually became serious. Xiao Yan had always had a good impression of the Ginseng Spiritual Tribe. Now that Xiao Yan heard that something had happened to the Ginseng Spiritual Tribe, he could not help but worry.
On the other hand, Luo Jin, who heard that something had happened to the Ginseng Spiritual Tribe, could not help but widen his eyes at this moment. At this moment, he recalled the worried expression on Luo Ao's face when he left in the past six months.
"Elder Luo, did something happen to the Ginseng Spiritual Tribe again?"
Xiao Yan frowned and asked in a deep voice. His tone was full of worry.
"Kid, do you still remember Hei Mu?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly focused. It was precisely because of that fellow that he had formed a subtle connection with Luo Ao and the Ginseng Spirit Race. Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't forget. Moreover …
An extremely obscure dark glint instantly flashed deep within Xiao Yan's eyes when he thought of this. This short instant was something that even Luo Ao did not discover.
"Last time, he died at your hands. This was the result that we all wanted to see. His death could be considered as eliminating a huge hidden danger for the Ginseng Spirit Race. At the same time, it also ended an old matter of the Ginseng Spirit Race."
Luo Ao spoke unhurriedly. Xiao Yan and Luo Jin listened listlessly.
"But …"
The sudden pause caused Xiao Yan and Luo Jin to instantly raise their eyes and look at Luo Ao. Only then did the latter open his mouth and say,
Luo Ao then said, "Half a year ago, after Qing Mu entered the Ginseng Spirit Space, he accidentally discovered something astonishing."
Next, Luo Ao told Xiao Yan about Qing Mu's discovery without missing a single word. Xiao Yan frowned as he listened. His face revealed a surprised expression.
A long while later, Xiao Yan appeared to have completely digested this sudden information. Only then did he frown and nod. His gaze focused on Luo Ao as he spoke in a deep voice.
He looked at Luo Ao and said in a deep voice, "That is to say, based on the weak aura in the Ginseng Spirit Root, Hei Mu hasn't completely died?"
Luo Ao nodded. This was what he wanted to express to Xiao Yan. As long as Hei Mu still had a trace of aura, no matter how weak it was, they couldn't let their guard down.
"But since the Ginseng Spirit Root is in senior Qing Mu's hands, doesn't that mean that as long as we destroy the Ginseng Spirit Root, Hei Mu will be finished? Why has it dragged on until now?"
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask again.
The Ginseng Spirit Root was the lifeline of the Spiritual Ginseng Tribe. As long as the Ginseng Spirit Root was destroyed, it would be equivalent to taking Hei Mu's life. Why should they be afraid of Hei Mu stirring up trouble?
Luo Ao understood this point much better than Xiao Yan. It was impossible that he didn't know this.
However, when Luo Ao heard this, he helplessly shook his head and sighed.
"At first, Qing Mu also planned to do this, but later on, he helplessly gave up."
Xiao Yan frowned. Could there be another reason behind this?
"After Qing Mu and I investigated, that small piece of the Ginseng Spirit Root has already lost its use. Apart from being able to detect life and death like a Soul Jade Tablet, Hei Mu's soul has already been separated from it. Even if we destroy the Ginseng Spirit Root, it will no longer cause any harm to Hei Mu."
Xiao Yan immediately understood in his heart when he heard these words. In other words, it was likely that the current Hei Mu was merely relying on his remaining soul fragment to hide somewhere. He was still unwilling to give up on searching for a method to revive.
When he thought of this, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth could not help but curl up into a mocking sneer. This was really like the saying: the stronger one was, the more one would be afraid of death. Although it seemed that the brave were fearless and unrivaled, they were actually timid and unwilling to give up.
However, when Xiao Yan returned to his senses, a strange expression involuntarily appeared on his face. He looked at Luo Ao and asked with a strange tone.
"Uh … Old Luo, you can't possibly be thinking that the remnant of that fellow's soul is in my body, right?"
"Hahahaha, at first, this old man was indeed worried about this, so I went back and forth a few times in order to investigate whether the remnant of that fellow's soul was hidden in your body. Fortunately, this old man didn't discover anything. That fellow shouldn't be in your body, so this old man can be at ease."
Hearing this, Luo Ao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Being exposed in a single sentence caused this cheerful old man to feel a little awkward.
"But …"
However, in the blink of an eye, Old Luo once again raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression. This caused Xiao Yan to involuntarily raise his eyebrows as he thought to himself, What is he playing at this time?
"Although this old man didn't discover any trace of Hei Mu's aura in your body, perhaps this isn't because he isn't in your body, but because of another reason!"
After the low shout, Xiao Yan's expression immediately turned sluggish. Beside him, Luo Jin also looked at the two people in front of him with a face full of doubt. His face was filled with helplessness.
In the next moment, before Xiao Yan could speak, Luo Ao suddenly shouted in a serious tone.
"Unless you are Hei Mu!"
Xiao Yan and Luo Jin were immediately stunned like wooden chickens when the cry sounded. Their hearts were so speechless that they were unable to speak. It was a long while later before Luo Ao laughed out loud, pulling the two of them back from their stagnant thoughts.
"Hahahaha, alright, I won't joke with you anymore. After this old man's investigation, it has already been proven that you aren't Hei Mu. So don't worry, this old man won't skin you and pull out your tendons. Hahahaha …"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin looked at each other expressionlessly. Both of them curled their lips continuously in their hearts. This bastard actually really investigated Xiao Yan!
"Hehe, alright, alright. Don't worry about it. It was just a joke just now. Look at how nervous you are."
Elder Luo chuckled. His smile revealed a hint of naughtiness. This was simply an old urchin!
After hearing Old Luo's words, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin glanced at the old man in front of them. Nervous? Where was there any nervousness? That was basically looking down on his words …
"Then, this old man has already said what should be said. This old man has also warned you about what should be warned. Remember, your life is the most important thing. Otherwise, any rare treasure will be empty."
"This junior understands."
Xiao Yan nodded. He was naturally extremely clear about this. He had seen quite a number of people die because of 'greed'. For his own sake, he would not make the same mistake again.
"Yes, since you understand, this old man will not say anything else. Finally, I will remind you that the Western Region cannot be compared to the Southern Region. The people here are truly like wolves and tigers. If you want to survive, you cannot just rely on Dou Techniques. Strength is the most important."
