Chapter 180 The Vengeful Blackwater Serpent

"This……"

Xiao Huan was stunned. Her already shimmering eyes were filled with even more turmoil. Finally, waves surged in, turning into two lines of clear tears that slowly slid down her cheeks.

The blood-red Blood Phoenix Ginseng carried a special aura, clearly indicating that it had been personally watered with human blood.

The only person in the world capable of cultivating a blood ginseng using human blood is Zhang Xiaofan, who has already refined the Blood Devouring Pearl. Clearly, this Blood Phoenix Ginseng was personally nurtured by Zhang Xiaofan using his own blood.

However, for some reason, this blood ginseng could take the shape of a phoenix, which was extremely strange.

Zhou Yixian looked up at the outside, and a strange light flashed in his old eyes.

"This Zhang Xiaofan seems to be quite extraordinary!"

Ginseng is named for its human-like shape. Of course, there are also some ginsengs with special shapes, but their shapes are mostly related to something special.

Of course, most importantly, Zhou Yixian faintly sensed a special, pure aura emanating from this Blood Phoenix Ginseng, which was unlike anything found in the mortal world.

"Grandpa, do you think reincarnation really exists in this world?"

Xiao Huan suddenly spoke up and asked, though she was asking Zhou Yixian, her gaze never left the special Blood Phoenix Ginseng.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yixian paused, frowned, and remained silent. Jin Ping'er, standing to the side, glanced at Zhou Yixian a few more times before turning to Xiao Huan and asking softly.

"Little Huan, why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just asking."

Xiao Huan shook her head and said, but a look of disappointment flashed across her face. Just then, Zhou Yixian suddenly sighed and said with regret.

"He'll probably have to find the answer himself at the Savage Temple."

"The Desolate Temple?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Jin Ping'er's eyes, but Xiao Huan's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face.

"Alright, girl, why are you worrying about these things? Instead, think about where we should go next to guide others."

Zhou Yixian's tone suddenly changed. He glared at Xiao Huan, then put on a dignified and otherworldly demeanor. But Jin Ping'er could only think of one word—hypocritical!
Xiao Huan pondered for a while, but still didn't know where to go. Jin Ping'er then took the opportunity to interject.

"By the way, Little Huan, I'm leaving today as well."

"Oh? Sister Ping'er, are you leaving too?"

Xiao Huan was surprised to hear this, and then looked at Jin Ping'er with a reluctant expression. Jin Ping'er could only smile bitterly and explain.

“Since we came in, there have been frequent strange movements in the Western Great Swamp. I estimate that it won’t be long before my master sends me there to investigate.”

"You mean, a supreme treasure has recently appeared in the Western Great Swamp?"

Zhou Yixian's eyes lit up, and his old face was immediately filled with love for the treasure. He quickly said to Xiao Huan.

"Xiao Huan, let's go over there. There must be many people who need a wise person to guide them."

"Grandpa, are you still going there to deceive people? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the demonic cult disciples?"

Xiao Huan muttered something under her breath, but then, as if she had just thought of something, she quickly smiled and nodded, but then changed her tone and agreed.

"However, Grandpa, you have a past with the Qingyun Sect. I imagine those demonic sect disciples wouldn't dare touch you because of the Qingyun Sect's reputation. So go ahead." "Hmph, you probably don't want to go with Grandpa to tell fortunes and make money, but rather to see your lover, right? Sigh!"

Seeing Xiao Huan's face change so quickly, Zhou Yixian seemed to realize something and couldn't help but snort angrily, sighing as he spoke.

Jin Ping'er looked at the noisy grandmother and granddaughter and couldn't help but smile.

……

After leaving Changhe City, Zhang Xiaofan did not immediately return to Qingyun Sect, but instead turned and flew towards the direction of Kongsang Mountain.

Soon, the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury will be revealed. At that time, Wanrenwang will surely make a move against Huangniao, and the two sides will have another great battle.

At this point, Zhang Xiaofan naturally needed some help.

Although the Water Kirin and the Kui Niu are powerful, if they were to leave from the Qingyun Sect, it would cause too much of a commotion. Not only would Wan Renwang easily find out about it, but he might even intercept them on the way.

Besides, those two idiots have been corrupted by Little Gray over the years; they're both lazier than the other.

Or rather, few of the ancient beasts were active; after all, they were enormous and long-lived, and didn't like to move around easily.

Zhang Xiaofan could control them, but he didn't want to force the two spirit beasts. Anyway, he only needed one helper who could help stop them at crucial moments.

Therefore, the best choice is naturally the Blackwater Serpent, who has a past grudge against the divine beast Yellow Bird. That guy probably still has his mind on the matter of opening the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault.

Kongsang Mountain.

The Kongsang Mountain is now increasingly desolate, and even the former Blood Refining Hall has completely abandoned it.

After all, there is the Blood-Dripping Cave at the foot of Kongsang Mountain, and the Black Water Serpent is stationed there. Wanrenwang did not want to break the current situation with Zhang Xiaofan in advance, so he directly ordered the people of the Blood Refining Hall to abandon Kongsang Mountain.

Following the ancient cave of ten thousand bats, Zhang Xiaofan easily arrived at the cave, which had been completely altered.

The traces left by the great battle between Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Feng ten years ago are still there, and the ground is cracked with countless fissures.

The only difference is that the Abyss of the Dead, which was once impenetrable to light, is still dark, but it is no longer as desolate and eerie as it once was.

Zhang Xiaofan descended directly from the top to the bottom of the Abyss of the Dead. Before he had taken more than a few steps, a foul stench hit him, causing him to frown.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, two scarlet lanterns, each larger than a person, appeared in front of Zhang Xiaofan.

The enormous Blackwater Serpent trembled as it swam across the ground, eventually coming to a steady stop in front of Zhang Xiaofan. Its massive serpentine form seemed to be telling a story.

Hearing the hissing sound, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle. This Blackwater Serpent really held a grudge; it had actually remembered the date so it could go find the Yellow Bird for revenge.

The reason the Blackwater Serpent crawled up from the Heartless Sea was because it was getting impatient.

"Go, goodbye Death Swamp. If you behave yourself and don't cause any trouble, you'll be free in the future."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded slightly in response. He originally intended for the Blackwater Serpent to go to the Death Swamp, as its size would make it difficult for even ten thousand people to catch it.

"Hiss!!"

The Blackwater Serpent hissed, respectfully prostrated itself on the ground, bowed to Zhang Xiaofan, and then turned and entered the Heartless Sea, swimming towards the Western Great Swamp.
