The Legend of the Netherworld

Chapter 118: Green Forest Flower Demon

Haotian Tianniu hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, and finally spoke: "As for the word 'Netherworld' you mentioned, I do know some secrets, but I can't tell you for no reason, unless..."

When Lin Xiao heard this, a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes and he asked, "Unless what?"

Haotian Tianniu's eyes turned cold, revealing a deep anger. "Unless you bring me the head of the Shadow Monkey King! It and I have an irreconcilable feud. If you kill it, I will reveal all my secrets. Otherwise, even if you cut down all the ginkgo trees around me, I won't tell you a single word."

After listening to this, Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, "It's too obvious that it wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

He gathered himself, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said calmly, "What if I really help you kill the Shadow Monkey King, and you regret it later? Wouldn't it be a waste of my help in getting rid of your enemy?"

When Haotian Tianniu heard the doubt, his face straightened. He patted his chest and said calmly, "Don't worry, I, Old Niu, always keep my word! What's more, if you are able to kill that demon monkey, it will prove that I am naturally no match for you. Then just come to Ginkgo Sea to find me!"

Seeing this, Lin Xiao nodded, his tone revealing a hint of ruthlessness: "Okay! Then I will trust you. If I help you get rid of the demon monkey, and you don't fulfill your promise, I will burn this Ginkgo Sea and use your bull head to make soup!"

“You…” Although Haotian Tianniu was dissatisfied, he suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said, “Okay! It’s a deal! If I break my promise, you can do whatever you want to me!”

"It's a deal." Lin Xiao cupped his fists in greeting, then said thoughtfully, "I have one more thing I'd like to ask you. Are you willing to answer?"

"What's the matter?"

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Have you ever seen two Sky Wing Divine Chickens, one male and one female?"

Hearing this question, Haotian Tianniu's eyes flashed slightly, his breathing became a little quickened, and then he whispered: "This matter... I don't want to tell you." After that, he turned around and no longer answered.

Lin Xiao looked at him deeply, clasped his fists calmly and said goodbye, thinking to himself: "It seems that the two divine chickens have a close relationship with this old cow." He moved his body, displayed the "Dragon Wandering Around the Seas" body technique, and instantly turned into a series of afterimages in the air, disappearing into the distance.

The moment the two men stopped, the two Sky-Winged Chickens took the opportunity to spread their wings and flew rapidly eastward, disappearing into the depths of the vast ancient forest.

Haotian Tianniu stared quietly at the direction where Lin Xiao left until the other party completely disappeared.

A complex expression flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself, "It seems that some secret techniques should be revived in the world..." Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand to mobilize the energy in his body. With a wave of his hand, three gentle energy balls floated out and slowly enveloped the three fallen ginkgo trees.

After a while, the damaged trees miraculously recovered and the Ginkgo Sea regained its former tranquility and solemnity.

As night fell, Haotian Tianniu pondered for a moment, then decided to take advantage of this fine night to visit his long-lost friends. He strode into the depths of the forest, passing through layers of dense trees, and continued to rush forward in the silver light.

Lin Xiao continued to move forward in the night until it was dark. He chose an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves, jumped up, sat on a branch, and simply took out some leftover food from the prey to replenish his strength.

A breeze blew by, and he looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. His heart felt a little calmer, so he sat down cross-legged and began to practice the "Boundless Sea of ​​Mind" to adjust his breathing and accumulate physical strength in preparation for the dangerous journey the next day.

At the same time, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the ancient forest on the other side. Haotian Tianniu rushed all the way and came to a sea of ​​flowers deep in the forest.

The fragrance of flowers here was rich, and all around were various exotic flowers and plants, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. He slowed his pace and leisurely stepped into the core area of ​​the sea of ​​flowers.

Deep in the sea of ​​flowers, there is a huge and beautiful peony flower. Its petals are in full bloom like red clouds, and it looks particularly enchanting under the moonlight.

Sitting within the peony's pistil was a dreamlike woman, none other than the legendary flower demon, the Cuilin Flower Demon. She had transformed into a human form, with a delicate face, deep, luminous eyes, and skin as translucent as jade. She emanated a natural purity and beauty, like a fairy among flowers, serene and noble.

The Green Forest Flower Fairy is wearing a dress woven from various flowers in the forest. The colors are colorful but not abrupt, as if it is one with the sea of ​​flowers.

Seeing Haotian bull slowly approaching, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, with a faint smile, and she whispered: "It's been many years since we last met. How could He Feng have blown your 'bull' here?" Her voice was soft, with an innate gentleness.

Haotian Tianniu grinned and raised his hand to greet him, "Old friend, I don't know why, but I always feel that something big is going to happen soon. I feel a little uneasy, so I came to you to breathe some air and chat about what new things you have seen and heard in these years."

The Green Forest Flower Fairy smiled gently and said, "It seems the wind in the forest has picked up again. But since you are here, you can stay and rest for a while."

After saying that, she waved her hand lightly, and several beautiful petals fluttered in the air, transforming into an exquisite chair that gently lifted up Haotian Tianniu.

The two ancient beings faced each other quietly in the night, a breeze blew by, and the sea of ​​flowers and forest swayed gently.

At this moment, the ancient forest, under their gaze, was like an unrevealed secret, waiting for the moment to be awakened again.

Haotian Tianniu smiled slightly at this time, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "I met a human cultivator today. He asked me some questions, which reminded me of my former close friends, so I wanted to come and see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a dazzling "Five-Colored Fairy Dew Pill" flew towards the flower demon in the pistil.

The Green Forest Flower Demon raised her hand to take the pill, and sensing the rich spiritual energy within, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes. "This is a good pill. You've actually reached the ninth level of transformation. It seems you've advanced your cultivation over the years, unknowingly surpassing us. It's truly astonishing."

Haotian Tianniu gently waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "There is no need to mention the past. I came here specially to deliver the elixir today." Although his tone was relaxed, there was a hint of caution in his expression.

The Green Forest Flower Demon suppressed her smile, as if sensing something was going on. She whispered, "Who could have moved you so much? What question did he ask you that made you come all the way here to deliver the elixir?"
