Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

If Mu Yu had been in a good mood when he first obtained the Fire Spirit, he might have spared his life.

But now that things have escalated to this point, how could we possibly let him go?

While Ku Yao's escape technique, which consumes his life essence, is indeed fast, unfortunately, Mu Yu's lightning escape technique is even faster.

The grayish-white flames were pressed directly onto Ku Yao's face.

Ku Yao never expected that even burning his essence blood wouldn't be enough to escape, and that the route for his nascent soul to leave his body would be blocked.

Since both sides were dead ends, Ku Yao simply self-destructed his body before the grayish-white flames could touch him.

The timing was actually excellent. If it had been even a little later, Mu Yu's Asura Sacred Fire would have burned onto his body, and he would never have been able to use even a tiny bit of the magic power within his body.

"boom!"

With a burst of fire and an explosion, Mu Yu transformed into lightning and left before the explosion, reaching out to grab a fiery red nascent soul.

"If you hadn't coveted this storage bag, you might have actually managed to escape."

To be honest, Mu Yu's current lightning escape technique is only slightly faster than the Nascent Soul teleportation of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage.

Logically speaking, it's impossible to capture the Nascent Soul cultivator Mu Yu in this cave.

But there was nothing he could do; he had been delayed because he couldn't bear to part with his storage bag.

The grayish-white flames in Mu Yu's hand transformed into a cage, directly trapping Ku Yao's nascent soul within it. If even a tiny bit of it touched him, the nascent soul would be instantly incinerated.

Trapped by the Asura Sacred Flame, Ku Yao finally recognized reality and hurriedly shouted:

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! I am willing to offer up all my possessions, just please spare my life."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu smiled.

"All your wealth? If I kill you, all your wealth will be mine anyway."

"Just stay put. Whether you survive or not depends on how many treasures the Mulan people are willing to offer in exchange for your life."

Mu Yu reached into the cage formed by the Asura Sacred Flame, and without hesitation tore off the storage bag held by the red Nascent Soul, then left a restriction on the Nascent Soul.

As for his natal magic weapon, Mu Yu wouldn't use it anyway, so he might as well keep it. He could use it as a selling point to get more good stuff from the Mulan people.

After all, the other party has already been placed under a restriction by Mu Yu, so there is absolutely no possibility that they can activate their natal magic weapon again.

"Oh, right. Be careful not to touch that Asura Sacred Flame, or you'll die."

Mu Yu spoke casually, letting the cage made of Asura Sacred Fire float beside him.

The battle between Mu Yu and Ku Yao ended so quickly that the other Mu Lan masters who came to help when they saw the situation was not going well were dumbfounded.

Just as the Mulan masters hesitated about whether to make a move, a mysterious figure shrouded entirely in a black robe suddenly spoke:

"I never imagined that someone like you would exist in such a remote place."

The black-robed man's voice was unusually hoarse, and faint sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling could be heard around him, much like some kind of low-quality background sound effect.

Of course, there are no background sound effects in this cultivation world, and those wailing sounds are the real lamentations of wronged souls.

In the world of cultivation, there are many demonic cultivators, but demonic cultivators who resemble ghost cultivators like this are truly rare.

"Remote? Did your Yinluo Sect run to this place you consider remote because you were beaten senseless in the Great Jin and can only find a sense of existence in places like this?"

"It's a pity, Venerable Tianku, you will not be able to return."

Mu Yu casually revealed the other party's identity, which immediately caused the sinister black aura around him to freeze slightly.

"Hmph! Youngster, how did you know?"

"It seems that today..."
