The three of them imdiately flew to the corpse of the Golden Flood Dragon True Man, hoping to protect his soul.
However, the Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact held by the Ghost Shadow was a Soul-annihilating Blade, which extinguished the Divine Soul completely upon killing the opponent, with no trace left.
"Villain! Your life is mine!" The leader at the Late Stage of Core Formation instantly beca furious, and a Fire Dragon’s shadow appeared before him, attacking Master Mu and Master Huangshi without hesitation.
As soon as the opposing voice sounded, Li Jizhou was already controlling the puppet to hold a Teleportation Talisman.
Without further hesitation, he prepared to activate it on the spot.
anwhile, Master Mu, seeing the intimidating Fire Dragon approaching, quickly moved his hands, conjuring nine terrifying waves.
Water can put out fire, but when the fire is too strong, it dries the water.
When Fire Elent spells overpower Water Elent ones, they not only fail to suppress but even beco fuel for the flas.
The nine gigantic waves were already steaming with a vast white mist before the Fire Dragon arrived; when the mist hit the fire, the flas surged even stronger.
The Fire Dragon was about to engulf him.
"Master Huang, help!" Master Mu cried out in alarm.
"Stop!" At this critical mont, a loud shout was heard.
Without seeing the newcor, a familiar Jinghong Spear rushed over with imnse force.
"Boom~" The Jinghong Spear collided with the Fire Dragon, causing a huge explosion.
The Jinghong Spear was imdiately repelled, and the Fire Dragon’s assault was halted.
Master Mu narrowly escaped death.
Li Jizhou looked at the newcor, and quietly put away the Teleportation Talisman he was about to activate.
"Master Shuimo, do you intend to kill mbers of the Hongtian squad?" Nie Jinghong, holding a long spear, stared straight at the leader of the opposing side.
Behind him, the Gu Master cautiously approached, with black armored beetles gathering around him.
"Jinghong!" Master Shuimo looked at Nie Jinghong in surprise.
"Are they mbers of the Hongtian squad?" He then looked incredulously at Master Mu and Master Huangshi.
At this mont, Nie Jinghong also noticed the corpse of the Golden Flood Dragon True Man on one side, paused slightly, then looked at Master Huangshi, searching for the Ghost Shadow Puppet’s figure around.
"Did you kill the Golden Flood Dragon True Man?" Nie Jinghong’s expression turned slightly grim as he looked at Master Mu.
Master Huangshi had not been in the squad for long, and was unaware of the secrets between the Hongtian squad and Guzhu City Lord’s Mansion, but Master Mu certainly knew.
Master Mu hurriedly explained, "He was the one who aggressively attacked us first!"
"Didn’t you reveal your identities?" Nie Jinghong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"We didn’t even have ti to reveal our identities." Master Mu answered without hesitation.
"Hmph, nonsense, just now it was clear that the Golden Flood Dragon scolded first, and the actual attack happened several breaths after, how could you not have ti to reveal your identity?" Master Shuimo angrily rebuked.
"Jinghong, the Golden Flood Dragon was the last disciple your father accepted, now tragically dead on the spot, I can’t let him go unanswered, don’t stop !" Master Shuimo then looked at Nie Jinghong.
"He is not my father!" Nie Jinghong shouted decisively.
Upon hearing this, Li Jizhou paused slightly, could Nie Jinghong actually be the son of Guzhu City’s Lord Nie Qingyuan?
"Master Mu, what on earth happened?" Nie Jinghong then ignored Master Shuimo and looked at Master Mu.
Master Mu turned towards Master Huangshi, who had already retreated several steps, took a deep breath, "In this situation, Master Nie wouldn’t violate the blood oath made when joining the squad, right?"
When joining the squad, mbers had to swear a blood oath to unite against external enemies encountered during treasure hunts.
Li Jizhou frowned slightly, looking at Master Mu’s back, his thoughts swirling.
It seems that Master Mu’s purpose wasn’t just for the opportunities in the dicine Pavilion,
Nie Jinghong and the other party revealed quite a bit of information in just a few exchanges.
"This woman perhaps deliberately provoked the conflict between the Hongtian squad and Guzhu City!"
Master Huangshi was made a pawn by her.
Nie Jinghong paused for a mont, decisively walked to Master Mu, turning to face Master Shuimo, "No matter what, I cannot watch you attack our Hongtian squad!"
Master Shuimo was instantly furious, "Jinghong, you’re confused!"
"Hmph! Enough talk, to battle if battle is needed!" Nie Jinghong, however, was indifferent.
The Gu Master also slowly ca beside Master Mu, his body surrounded by dancing gu bugs.
Li Jizhou quietly stepped back two more steps, Nie Jinghong and his allies had sworn a Heart Demon Blood Oath, faced with this situation, they had to stand up despite knowing there were issues, or else the Heart Demon would wreak havoc, and their cultivation progress would be impeded.
But Li Jizhou didn’t care, he swore using Master Huangshi’s blood and Divine Soul.
Moreover, he was already controlling the Ghost Shadow to silently infiltrate the dicine garden formation to search for Spirit dicine.
The entire formation was also sealed, though relatively weaker than the external environnt.
However, all Spirit dicine was encased in ice crystals, impossible to probe with Divine Sense, making it difficult to quickly discern them.
"Pop~" As the Ghost Shadow shattered an ice crystal before him, revealing the Spirit dicine inside.
An immature Three-Tier Heartless Grass shook off all the ice crystals and appeared before his eyes.
Li Jizhou was slightly pleased inside, the garden was indeed extraordinary, the first plant was already such a major dicine.
"Swoosh~" However, his joy was short-lived as he saw the Heartless Grass quickly grow once freed from the ice, bolstered by the ti power that had shielded it for millennia.
Within ten breaths, thousands of years passed, and the Heartless Grass transford from a seedling into a thousand-year-old great dicine, eligible to be a main component of the Fetus Nourishing Pill.
Yet the next instant, the Heartless Grass instantly withered, subsequently decayed, eventually disintegrating and rotting into dust.
"..." Witnessing the entire process left Li Jizhou slightly dazed.
Under the power of ti, even thousand-year Spirit dicine eventually turns to ash.
Spirit dicine also has a lifespan, Tier One and Tier Two last a hundred to a thousand years, whereas Tier Three lasts over a thousand years.
Those that genuinely survive beyond millennia must be at least Tier Four Spirit dicine or have other special attributes.
