Nie Feng stared at Xu Hei, his heart gripped by an overwhelming fear.
Xu Hei? Wasn't this man supposed to be dead? How is he still alive, standing right in front of ?
And what was that situation with the Demon Blood Vine just now?
"Oh? It seems you've already learned about Wei Wudao's actions. So, you've t those two, haven't you? They're just outside the thicket, am I right?" Xu Hei sneered.
In the Land of the Moon, Divine Sense cannot be used for communication.
On the surface, the Divine Puppet Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect maintain friendly relations. If they encountered , they wouldn't be so terrified! The current situation only indicates one thing.
—This person has already t Wei Wudao and knows what happened to Xu Hei.
Nie Feng swallowed hard and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is between you and them, it has nothing to do with ! I just..."
"You just wanted to find a new physical body, so you tead up with those two to ambush , planning to snatch my body, right?"
Nie Feng's primordial spirit trembled, his eyes filled with utmost terror.
Suddenly, his entire body burst into flas, and his primordial spirit shrank visibly, burning away half of its power in an instant!
In such a powerful outburst, his body contracted into a point of light, his strength surpassing its limits, breaking through the Restriction Formation in an instant, sending the four formation flags flying.
In a flash, Nie Feng broke through the encirclent, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the distance.
"Not good!"
Hua Qingyun, looking panicked, hurriedly moved to intercept him.
But just then, as Nie Feng flew halfway, he triggered so Restriction, summoning a ghostly wind that swept over him, causing his primordial spirit to vanish by more than half, sucked into the air with a piercing scream.
Before long, Nie Feng's primordial spirit completely disappeared, turning into nothingness.
All that remained was a pitch-black small flag, falling from the sky.
Xu Hei was not surprised by this.
In the Land of the Moon, there are two extrely dangerous places: the sky and the underground.
This person, in his panic, dared to fly into the sky, practically courting death! But besides that, he had no other escape route.
Once the Restriction disappeared, Xu Hei beckoned, summoning the soul banner over.
This item, called the Ghostly Banner, is a specially crafted soul banner of the Ancient Tomb Sect. It can not only conceal primordial spirits but also serve as a storage artifact after being infused with a large amount of Void Stones.
Xu Hei found quite a few pills and materials inside, all prepared for body snatching, even so spare corpses, though their quality was lacking.
There were as many as sixteen Supre Spirit Stones, far wealthier than the Sea Star Demon Clan!
"An unexpected windfall!" Xu Hei thought with delight.
Hua Qingyun cupped her fists and said, "I almost let that scoundrel escape due to excessive mana consumption, making a fool of myself in front of you."
Xu Hei replied, "For Fellow Daoist Hua to still be able to use Restriction techniques under such circumstances is quite remarkable."
Usually, setting up a formation requires so ti, and for soone whose mana was nearly depleted to still be able to create a formation with a flip of the hand was truly surprising to Xu Hei.
"If you don't mind, could you tell in detail what happened just now?" Xu Hei asked promptly.
Hua Qingyun sighed, retrieved the surrounding formation flags, and then began to recount the events.
Like Xu Hei, she was blocked by the thicket. However, with her skills and Divine Abilities, passing through the thicket wasn't easy, but with caution and so ti, she could have made it through safely.
But who would have thought that the Ancient Tomb Sect had set up an ambush outside the thicket, specifically targeting primordial spirits, forcing her to retreat.
And the person from the Ancient Tomb Sect, using so unknown ans, not only attracted a large number of wandering souls and ghost vines but also summoned a Rainbow Demon Yaksha, clearly intending to kill her.
"I have no enmity with the Ancient Tomb Sect, and as an elder of the Yan Dao Sect, I am a great asset in breaking formations and Restrictions. Even if they don't want to recruit , they wouldn't offend . I never expected to be plotted against."
"But now, I understand."
After so ti to recover, Hua Qingyun's complexion improved significantly. Though her attire was sowhat rustic, her deanor was transcendent, her eyes bright and filled with wisdom, exuding the elegance of a Daoist immortal.
"Just for body snatching? Not to ntion the success rate in such a dangerous place, even if they succeeded, wouldn't they fear exposure and a fallout with the Yan Dao Sect?"
Xu Hei still couldn't comprehend.
Hua Qingyun glanced at Xu Hei, sighed again, and said, "To be honest, during my journey through this place, I used a type of fla against my enemies. It's likely because of this fla that the Ancient Tomb Sect targeted . Body snatching was just incidental."
She gently raised her palm, revealing a small, faint black fla at her fingertip, exuding a thick Yin Sha Qi, even forming a layer of gray frost on her fingertip.
Xu Hei stared at the fla, exclaiming, "Lunar Mystic Fire?"
Lunar Mystic Fire, the ultimate Yin fla of the mortal realm, opposite to the ultimate Yang Solar Essence Fire, is considered one of the most powerful flas in the mortal realm.
This legendary treasure was right before his eyes!
"Fellow Daoist Xu has sharp eyes. This is indeed the ultimate Yin fla of the mortal realm, the Lunar Mystic Fire!" Hua Qingyun sighed softly. "I ca to the Land of the Moon alone, separated from my two senior brothers, to find an opportunity to upgrade this fla. After all, the Lunar Mystic Fire I possess is still just a seed, far from its strongest state."
To upgrade the Lunar Mystic Fire, one would need a treasure of equal value, and Xu Hei happened to have a bowl of Yellow Spring Water.
Xu Hei narrowed his eyes and said, "Exposing such a precious treasure to , aren't you afraid I'll kill you for it?"
"Hehe, since I ntioned it, I intended to give it to you. However, you must first agree to escort to the exit of the Land of the Moon. Once we reach the destination, I will hand it over to you."
"If you disagree, I would rather destroy this fla than let anyone take it." Hua Qingyun's expression was calm, but her tone was firm and unyielding.
Xu Hei inwardly scoffed. If the Lunar Mystic Fire could be destroyed so easily, it wouldn't be worthy of being called one of the strongest in the mortal realm.
If it could be easily destroyed, the Ancient Tomb Sect wouldn't have considered killing her for it.
But Xu Hei didn't argue, simply saying calmly, "I can escort you, but we are strangers. How can I trust you? What if you go back on your word after I escort you?"
Hua Qingyun took out a piece of talisman paper, sprayed it with a wisp of her essence blood, and infused it with her primordial spirit's power, rging it into soul blood, writing the words "Break the oath, suffer eternal damnation."
An oath might be useless to a demonic cultivator, but for soone like her, a cultivator, any oath could co true, especially one written with soul blood. This was almost like a spell that would manifest as spoken!
Xu Hei nodded and said, "Alright, it's a deal!"
