The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 386 Parting on bad terms
Wang Wu was completely bewildered!
It even felt somewhat unreal.

What's going on!

He had considered the Five Poisons of the Sin Prison Legion; the Serpent Emperor and his group had indeed cooperated with the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance and laid out such a grand scheme.

But he really didn't expect the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance to have become so weak.

The dignified leader of the Immortal Alliance, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, had no capable subordinates, so he had to take the risk of coming to Dragon Head City to infiltrate as a steward of the Hidden Origin Society.
No wonder he wanted to collect and buy the five elements of the human world; he really did want to counteract them.

Anyway, it's just too unreliable!
Forget it, I'm tired. It's already like this, why bother with being cautious?

Wang Wu sighed and, following the jade talisman's guidance, found a small courtyard in the south of Dragon Head City. He pushed open the door and went inside, but it was empty. He waited for a long time before a middle-aged man with a somewhat heroic appearance and a goatee hurriedly came in from outside.

Before Wang Wu could speak, he made a shushing gesture, and the next moment he took out a miniature tower and casually threw it on the ground. The tower visibly shrank, becoming as small as a speck of dust in the blink of an eye.

Truly, this time, even Wang Wu's level 18 spiritual essence wouldn't have been able to spot this small tower amidst so much dust if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

At this moment, the middle-aged man waved to Wang Wu without saying a word, his body shrank, and he transformed into a beam of light and entered the small tower.

Wang Wu had no other choice at this moment. He activated the Ruyi An Shen Fa (a magical technique), instantly turning into a wisp of dust and entering the small tower.

But once inside, it felt like entering another vast world.

It's huge, incredibly huge, a world somewhat similar to the Great Wilderness Prison Tower.

"Don't look around, we're running out of time. Tell me quickly, why did you want to see me before?"

The middle-aged man, who appeared to be the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, urged.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to double-check." Wang Wu took a step back. Although he had already entered the tower, the matter was of great importance, and he had to be cautious.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and a flash of anger clearly crossed his eyes.

"I possess the strength of an Earth Immortal and wield two immortal artifacts. Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand. Isn't that enough to convince you?"

"Enough! Enough!"

Wang Wu grinned, agreeing that this made sense. No matter how capable the head of a branch of the Hidden Origin Society was, he couldn't possibly be that capable. How could someone be omnipotent and omniscient and still act like this? He would have been crushed long ago.

"Um, I was hoping to purchase some more of the Five Elements of the Human Realm from you to upgrade my rank as a steward..."

"anything else?"

The middle-aged man continued to ask, "He's already in a terrible state. You've only used this excuse to lure him here. Don't think he won't kill someone."

Wang Wu looked at the other person, his mind racing. He wanted to tell the truth, but the words that came out were—

"I... I'd like to buy some more Yin Fire and Evil Wind... I can pay on credit first. After all, you know I come from the Sin Prison Legion. They might run away from me, but they can't run away from my relatives and friends. You might not know, Snake Nineteen is my great-aunt, my own flesh and blood. Five Poisons is my maternal uncle, and Yue Shan is my uncle! All my dearest relatives and friends can vouch for me!"

"Why not use your little she-wolf as collateral?"

"It, haha, a withered flower, a wife who has shared hardship, a country bumpkin, ignorant and lacking in taste, would not dare to tarnish your noble bearing."

"Shut up, you smooth talker. You still don't trust me, do you? Fine, I understand. It doesn't matter. If this plan fails, at most the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance will be destroyed, and I'll flee to another place. But you and your Sin Prison Legion will be the first to go to the battlefield and fight until they're all wiped out!"

"Without my protection, how long do you think you escapees could survive in this cultivation world!"

The middle-aged man was very angry; he seemed genuinely overwhelmed with worry.

Wang Wu gave an awkward smile and stood there. It wasn't that he was uncooperative; what was wrong with allies? Even his great-uncle Wudu was unreliable!
Moreover, the matter of repairing the base supporting the Hidden Yuan Bell cannot be explained in a short time. In addition, he is not sure if it can be repaired at all. It is not his style to make wild claims at this time.

Furthermore, he didn't believe that the person in front of him wasn't in a hurry.

At this moment, the middle-aged man exhaled a breath of turbid air, but suddenly sneered, "I won't stoop to your level, but do you know that Yin Fire and Evil Wind are both forbidden items, impossible to buy on the market, and extremely precious even here? Since you are unwilling to use your little she-wolf as collateral, you probably are also unwilling to use your concubine as collateral, so you must offer something of equal value to buy them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu immediately cupped his hands in greeting, waiting for Wang Wu to name his price. "If there's a price, it's not extortion." He replied, "Your Majesty, I, Wang Zhige, am willing to pledge my loyalty to you. From this day forward, I am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my might, conquering new territories and expanding your lands, even unto death!"

"So, you're actually planning to get it for free?" The middle-aged man looked at him with disdain. How could you say such a shameless thing?

"Your Excellency, am I not worthy?" Wang Wu asked sincerely, he was not joking.

Don't be fooled by his ability to roam freely as a wandering bear assassin. Once the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance go to war, he will definitely have to return to the Sin Prison Legion. He cannot stand idly by.

Since that's the case, it's not a big deal to also pledge allegiance to this Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He looked Wang Wu up and down a few times, then suddenly sighed, "Your ability to kill the Mud Turtle in the arena of life and death is enough to prove your strength, but I'm sorry, I cannot accept your allegiance."

"why?"

"Because you are an escapee, until your ancestors' crimes are cleared, I can only take you and your companions into custody in the name of the Sin Prison Legion. This is the greatest effort I can make, at great risk." "What's going on? My ancestors are all long dead!"

Wang Wu was very surprised.

"I'm sorry, but that's the rule of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison. Those who are thrown into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison, whether they live or die, their descendants will all be sinners! Your only chance to survive is to defeat the enemy on the battlefield as part of the Sin Prison Legion. Otherwise, you won't even have the chance to live in anonymity."

"Or, if any of you can advance to become a Taiyi True Immortal, then although your crimes cannot be erased, at least you will be able to live a better life."

"In short, that's it. You've disappointed me greatly. At this crucial moment, you've clearly been hiding something from me. However, I'm still willing to give you a chance. If you're willing to marry into my Vermilion Bird royal family and leave behind at least ten bloodline seeds for my Vermilion Bird royal family, I'll give you a ball of ninth-grade Yin Fire and a wisp of ninth-grade Evil Wind!"

"I reject!"

Wang Wu refused without hesitation. It wasn't that he was against marrying into the family, but rather that he was against being used as a breeding pig.

Ten bloodline seeds?

Are you kidding me?
The seed of bloodline does not refer to a single child, but rather a highly replicated form of bloodline inheritance.

When this child grows up, his bloodline evolution level will reach at least 80% or even 90% of Wang Wu's; that's what you call a bloodline seed.

With Wang Wu's current bloodline evolution level, leaving behind a bloodline seed would reduce his bloodline evolution level by 1%, or even 2%.

So if he really did that, what difference would there be between him and a useless person?
"Then get out of here!"

The middle-aged man shouted, and the next second Wang Wu was driven out. Damn it!
Where does your sense of superiority come from?
At this moment, Wang Wu couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't been honest with himself earlier. He wasn't a qualified ally who could at least maintain appearances.

Furthermore, if I don't even accept his loyalty, I'll just be humiliating myself.

At this moment, Wang Wu could almost imagine the treatment the Sin Prison Legion had received over the years.

Damn it, if you don't care, fine, we'll forge our own path!
After leaving the courtyard, Wang Wu did not try to become invisible. Instead, he took out the top-grade hair and, with a flash, it replaced his original body.

The Supreme Hairy Lord stormed off in a huff, while Wang Wu disappeared in another direction; he would have to figure out a solution himself.

A moment later, he appeared outside a very ordinary house by the roadside. The house was quite ordinary, but one of the walls was unusually thick and covered with moss. Several ivy vines spread freely on it, and occasionally a few pale purple flowers could be seen among the lush green leaves.

Even the residents of this house are just ordinary mortals. The grandfather is playing with his grandson in the yard, while the young wife and mother-in-law are weaving and doing chores in the room.

The young husband was weaving bamboo baskets in a corner of the yard.

Occasionally, I would look at the sky with worry, as the floods outside were too fierce, and I didn't know when they would recede.
The few acres of wheat fields outside the city were probably all for nothing.

This is the life of ordinary people, but they don't know that hidden in the walls of this old house, which has been passed down for countless generations, is a towering pillar of black iron.

The upper half is hidden within the spiritual network, while the lower half is located underground in the mortal world.

Wang Wu observed with his level 18 spiritual energy, not daring to go above the spiritual network, as that would immediately alert the other party.

Moreover, he cannot solve the problem in a short time.

Fortunately, the unique nature of this Xuan Tie Sky Pillar gives him some opportunities to make changes.

Wang Wu observed the Xuan Iron Sky Pillar from the outside for about half an hour using his level 18 spiritual energy. He finally confirmed that the Ninefold Tribulation Fire Array on the pillar was intact, and the pillar itself was also intact. After marking it, he continued to search for the next one.

This is the dumbest method, and also the most time-consuming method.

But there was no other choice.

After inspecting the five Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars in one go, it was already evening. Outside Dragon Head City, a fierce wind blew, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down. Gui Taizhen was forcing the emperor to abdicate again.

"Kameta, you've gone too far!"

With a thunderous roar, the black-robed elder from the Hidden Origin Society's branch jumped out of Dragon Head City once more. While maintaining restraint, he fought Gui Taizhen for a few rounds before retreating again.

Well, it's not that we're not trying hard enough, it's just that the enemy is too ruthless. We need a foolproof plan.

"What superb acting skills!"

Wang Wu looked up and continued searching for the sixth Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillar. This time, he finally found a damaged one. Interestingly, the location of this Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillar was actually a blacksmith shop run by a mortal.

Whether intentional or coincidental, the Xuan Tie Sky Pillar was intact on the outside, but inside, it had been melted into many tiny cracks, the longest being a few millimeters and the smallest only a few nanometers.

And there are quite a few of them, at least dozens.

It is precisely because of these seemingly tiny cracks that the Ninefold Calamity Fire Array cannot function properly.
