Chapter 321 I really want to surface!
Ever since the burly man appeared, the formation became lively.
For several days in a row, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue discovered that there were new people appearing, but the two chose not to show up because they smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Why did no one show up for more than a month, but now they are flocking in?
It felt like being driven in by someone.
Inside the cave, Zhao Mu roasted the meat while speaking to Yan Qingyue, "I now feel more and more that the person who set up this formation has grand intentions. The person behind the scenes didn't set up this formation to seal away the evil spirits, but rather to feed them."
"This possibility is indeed not small."
Yan Qingyue nodded in agreement, "Many evil spirits can breed rare treasures in their bodies. That person is feeding the evil spirit most likely for this treasure."
"Qizhen?"
Zhao Mu instantly became interested, "Senior Sister Yan, tell me..."
"For example, the Evil-Eyed Ghost Willow, when it grows to a certain size, will give birth to a Ghost Willow Heart. Another example is the Fire Demon Crystal created by the Flame Demon Clan. These rare treasures all have extraordinary uses, either as medicine or for refining weapons..."
"this...."
Zhao Mu was somewhat shocked when he heard Yan Qingyue's words. "So, won't the evil spirits become a cultivation resource for other tribes?"
"No!"
Yan Qingyue shook her head seriously and said, "The evil spirits are cunning and powerful. Even if they can give birth to treasures, few people in the world dare to have such thoughts towards them because the backlash is too terrible."
uh~
Zhao Mu was stunned immediately. He was really stupid. If the evil spirits were really that easy to bully, they would have disappeared in the long river of history long ago. How could they become one of the strongest camps like now?
"If what you and I speculate is true, then we are about to face the worst possible situation."
"Yes!"
Zhao Mu agreed with Yan Qingyue's statement. If it was just an evil spirit, it might be able to escape with the help of the thunder. But if there were strong people guarding outside the formation, then...
Two days passed in a flash.
Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue, who were hanging out outside, suddenly felt something and their eyes swept towards the place not far away.
"coming."
"Yes, seven!"
The two looked at each other, both showing a slightly happy expression.
After waiting for so many days, the pursuers from the Thousand Demon Sect finally arrived.
Moreover, what they didn't expect was that the seven Thousand Demon Sect disciples who caught up with them were so weak. Five of them were at the Great Perfection of the Liquid Realm, one was at the late Tiangang Realm, and one was at the Great Perfection of the Tiangang Realm.
Even someone from the Kongming Realm had been killed, yet they still dared to chase us with such a lineup.
Is it because he is too stupid or too confident in his own ability?
"Senior Sister Yan, please make your move. Try to be as quiet as possible and don't attract the attention of that evil spirit."
From his observations over the past few days, Zhao Mu discovered that as long as the noise was too loud, the evil spirits would come after smelling the scent, and several people had already turned into mummies in this way.
Not long after, the two people who were dozing together heard a sound.
"Tsk tsk, these two guys really don't fear death. We were so close, but they didn't even notice."
"Maybe they look down on us."
"It's better to be careful. Many people in the sect have been killed by them before, including some who have reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Gang Realm!"
"..."
Just at this moment, a huge purple-gold lotus suddenly appeared and instantly wrapped up the seven people. Without making any noise, they were all captured.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Mu couldn't help laughing.
But there is no point in mocking them, so it is better to seize the opportunity and force them to take the oath to heaven.
Inside the Chaos Purple Gold Lotus, several Thousand Demon Sect disciples bombarded it frantically, trying to break out. However, how could a few of them break a spiritual weapon that could withstand even heavenly tribulations?
"Damn it, it's a trap! It's actually a trap!"
"What level of spiritual weapon is this? Why is it so difficult to break?"
"Now I understand why the previous people failed."
"What should we do now? We are trapped."
“…”
Just as the seven members of the Thousand Demon Sect were discussing with distress how to break through the Chaos Purple Gold Lotus, one person disappeared quietly, scaring the other six.
Beneath the large tree, Xiang Tianxiao, a disciple of the Thousand Demon Sect, was somewhat bewildered. Wasn't he just inside that mysterious spiritual weapon? Why was he...
Just at this moment, a light voice was heard.
"Hey, kid, I'm giving you two choices. Either die immediately, or swear an oath to heaven to be an upright man from today on."
"???"
Xiang Tianxiao looked at Zhao Mu in a daze, finding him a bit strange. A man of integrity? What kind of request was this?
However, the cold sword on his neck made him dare not stay dazed for too long, and he immediately and obediently swore an oath to heaven.
What? Reject?
Are you crazy? Even your cultivation has been sealed. If you refuse, you will die!
Who wants to die when they can live? Moreover, this oath to heaven doesn't seem to have any serious consequences. He has always been an upright man.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mu did the same thing again and successfully got the rest of the people to swear the Heavenly Oath as well.
Like Xiang Tianxiao, the other six people were also completely confused. They didn't understand the meaning of the oath to heaven that Zhao Mu asked them to swear. It didn't pose any threat at all. Could it be that he was just playing a trick on them?
.....
Outside the formation, in a lush green forest, a dozen young men and women gathered together to chat.
"Hey, I don't know when this job will end. I've been here for three years."
"It should be soon. We send in a batch of nutrients every three months. The Evil-Eyed Ghost Willow is growing quite fast."
"Come on, what's there to complain about? We're just doing some chores here. We don't even have a chance to do anything truly dangerous. And for all that, we'll get a hefty reward after we're done!"
"Exactly, other people are eager to come here!"
"I just complained a bit, it's really boring after all."
"It's almost there. I just heard that the ancestor will be arriving here in half a month. The Evil Eye Ghost Willow should mature in the next few days."
"That's good, that's good!"
"Three years, three years. I can finally leave this godforsaken place. This time when I go back, I must order ten girls to make up for the boredom and concerns of the past three years."
"You kid, be careful of getting emptied out, haha!"
"By the way, it seems a few rats have crawled into the area where the North District borders Thousand Demon Province. Has anyone checked it out?"
"They are just a few people in the Huaye Realm and Tiangang Realm. Even if they go in, they won't cause any trouble. At most, they will serve as nutrients for the Evil Eyed Ghost Willow."
"That's right. Why bother with them? Didn't three mice break in over a month ago, and they didn't make any noise? They must have become food for the Evil-Eyed Ghost Willow."
“…”
Just as Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue guessed, this formation was set up to confine the Evil-Eyed Ghost Willow inside, and it was not done by one person, but was planned by a major force in Skull State.
They even knew that Zhao Mu and others had broken in unexpectedly, but they did not take it seriously because they were too weak!
