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

When Bingfeng and Muyu arrived at the entrance of Wanyao Valley, they ran straight into Feng Laoguai and Xiang Zhili.

Clearly, these two had been waiting here for quite some time.

"Fellow Daoists, are you here today to support that old demon Che?"

When Mu Yu saw Xiang Zhili and the other person appear, his expression gradually darkened.

Although he was confident he could escape from the siege of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Mu Yu didn't like to do such things unless absolutely necessary.

"Hey~ Fellow Daoist Mu, please don't misunderstand. We're here to support you."

"We are already aware that this old demon has acted recklessly, causing the destruction of the spatial node, and we have come here specifically to demand an explanation."

Seeing that Mu Yu's expression was not good, Xiang Zhili quickly explained.

Seeing this, Bingfeng, who was standing next to Mu Yu, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the human realm, the demon race is already weak. In the current situation, if Old Demon Che doesn't bleed a lot, he probably won't be able to resolve this peacefully.

In fact, if the negotiations fail, with Mu Yu, who can act at will without fear of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it's entirely possible that Old Demon Che could be killed on the spot.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I have brought you here. May I leave now?"

At this moment, Bingfeng's face was still very pale, and she did not look like a demon cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage at all. Instead, she had a kind of inexplicable fragility.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Now that you know about spatial nodes, if you don't want to be trapped in the human realm forever, try to find them after you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Mu Yu casually said something, without paying any attention.

If he intends to use spatial nodes to smuggle himself across, then Icewind, who possesses spatial supernatural powers, is someone he cannot let go of.

But now, it doesn't really matter what Bingfeng chooses.

"Thank you for reminding me, fellow Daoist. I understand now."

Ice Phoenix spoke politely before using her spatial powers to leave.

Xiang Zhili watched the Ice Phoenix's departing figure and said with some regret, "This Ice Phoenix has quite a few innate abilities; if only..."

As he spoke, Xiang Zhili revealed a meaningful expression.

"Alright, it's time to enter the valley."

Mu Yu didn't want to discuss this matter any further and spoke directly.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them released their spiritual energy fluctuations and entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Of course, before entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Mu Yu still sensed his talent and confirmed that there were no problems before choosing to enter.

Upon entering the territory of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the strongest feeling Mu Yu had was the overwhelming demonic aura. Even with Mu Yu's current strength, he had to be vigilant when facing this level of demonic aura.

"Greetings, esteemed seniors. The Valley Master has been waiting in the reception room for quite some time."

The one who came out to greet Mu Yu and the others was the ten-thousand-year-old corpse bear that had appeared in Kunwu Mountain before. As the deputy valley master of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, this guy should have also shone brightly in Kunwu Mountain.

However, due to Mu Yu's appearance, the ten-thousand-year-old corpse bear became like a transparent person in Kunwu Mountain. It only managed to kill a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the chaos before returning to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

"It's you. How did things go with the Ye family's affairs?"

Xiang Zhili seemed quite familiar with this ten-thousand-year-old corpse bear, and inquired about the former royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty—a family now being besieged by all the forces of the Great Jin.

As a force that dared to open a forbidden area like Kunwu Mountain, the Ye family of the Great Jin Dynasty naturally needed to find a new location.

Mu Yu had no interest in paying attention to the conversation between Xiang Zhili and the Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bear; his attention was entirely focused on the soon-to-appear Old Demon Che.

A dense, extremely dense demonic aura clung to Che Laoyao, making it impossible for Mu Yu to see Che Laoyao's face clearly using ordinary means for the time being.

"I can't believe... you actually dared to come to a place like this."

"Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

After revealing himself, Che Laoyao immediately looked in the direction of Mu Yu. Although his tone was somewhat unfriendly, he did not seem to have any intention of making a move.

"I'm just here to get an explanation. Although I haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet, I don't want to die of old age in the mortal realm after I do."

"Do you even understand what you've done, you idiot?"

"When I gave you the spatial nodes inside the Small Extreme Palace, I told you that these were the only ones that were actually usable."

"So...you idiot, you don't want to use it yourself?"

Mu Yu put on an angry expression, as if she really needed the spatial node urgently.

In fact, the existence of spatial nodes is indeed a backup plan within Mu Yu's backup plan.

If Mu Yu hadn't known that there was another usable spatial node within the Blood Trial of Yue Kingdom, he certainly wouldn't have allowed Che Laoyao to destroy the spatial node within the Xiaoji Palace.

"Enough! I had no idea those guys from the Little Extreme Palace would self-destruct the Void Spirit Palace!"

"Do you think I'm happy to have lost this spatial node?"

After being repeatedly mocked by Mu Yu, Che Laoyao could no longer contain his anger.

Che Laoyao was already quite upset about the destruction of that spatial node, and Mu Yu kept emphasizing how important it was.

It's as if destroying that spatial node would cause them to remain in the human world forever, or die tragically in other spatial nodes.

Moreover, it was one thing for Mu Yu to come knocking on our door himself, but he also brought over two more human Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

In this way, even if Che Laoyao originally had some ideas, they would be impossible to realize.

"If it were just you alone, I would naturally be more than happy for you to seek your own death."

"But you need to understand that spatial nodes are something that all Nascent Soul stage cultivators need."

"Therefore, this matter needs to be addressed."

Mu Yu spoke calmly. Although he had only just broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, he had already begun to consider himself a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Both Feng Laoguai and Xiang Zhili said they had no problem with this.

Old Che narrowed his eyes, his anger growing stronger.

But after glancing at Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai nearby, Che Laoyao ultimately gave up the idea of ​​fighting.

Of course, another reason is that his lifespan is really running out.

If Mu Yu were merely an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, then Old Demon Che would naturally be able to easily kill him.

But now, if he were to use a truly powerful divine ability at the Nascent Soul stage, he would probably be close to death after the fight.

"Enough! I admit defeat today. Tell me what you want to do."

Finally, Che Laoyao spoke up, somewhat aggrieved.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Mu Yu's face, and then she said:

"First, you are no longer allowed to freely explore spatial nodes."

Following the updates has never been so enjoyable.

"If any more spatial nodes are destroyed, I will personally take care of you."

"But at the same time, we will notify you once we find a usable spatial node."

As he spoke, Mu Yu took out the genuine Immortal-Slaying Pearl and made it float beside him.

"Lei Zhenzi... Impossible, how do you still have this?!"

Upon seeing the genuine Immortal-Slaying Pearl from the Spirit Realm, Old Demon Che's expression immediately changed drastically.

This thing is notorious even among the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Spirit Realm, since theoretically, any mortal who wields it could perish together with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"Hmm, as expected of someone from the spirit world, they do have some understanding of this stuff."

"You might think I can't kill you, so do you think this thing can take you down?"

Mu Yu spoke casually, while a surge of magical power enveloped the Immortal Extinction Pearl to prevent the two Nascent Soul stage beings beside him from snatching it.

Compared to regular magical artifacts and spiritual treasures, the Immortal-Slaying Pearl is much easier to steal.

Che Laoyao's expression was somewhat uncertain; clearly, Mu Yu's threat had genuinely frightened him.

"I can stop taking action casually, but I will definitely get involved in things like spatial nodes."

"At most, I promise that no more spatial nodes will be destroyed, and I will no longer search for them in human territory."

Clearly, Che Laoyao did not believe that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the human race could coexist peacefully with him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu pondered for a moment.

Just then, Old Monster Feng suddenly spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Mu, we do indeed have some manpower shortages in the demon realm. It's just right to have Old Demon Che search these locations."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu nodded.

"Okay, if that's the case, then let's leave it at that for now."

"The second remaining point is the compensation you need to provide after the spatial nodes within the Small Extreme Palace are damaged."

As Mu Yu spoke, he took out the Myriad Demon Banner from his storage bag and threw it to Old Demon Che.

Upon seeing the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, Old Demon Che's expression was one of disbelief mixed with the joy of recovering a lost treasure.

But soon, Che Laoyao discovered that all the souls inside the Ten Thousand Demon Banner had been extracted, and the entire Ten Thousand Demon Banner magic weapon was also mostly destroyed.

"What exactly did you do to my Demon Banner...?"

Che Laoyao gripped the Ten Thousand Demon Banner tightly in his hands, his crimson eyes blazing with barely suppressed killing intent.

"It's nothing, I just extracted the soul from it. With my weapon-refining skills, it's easy for me to do something like this."

"If you have any objections to this, how about we have a fight, the kind where life or death doesn't matter?"

With a Celestial Annihilation Pearl floating beside him, Mu Yu's words were clearly a blatant threat.

At this moment, Che Laoyao's heart was bleeding.

But after glancing at Lei Zhenzi floating beside Mu Yu, Che Laoyao finally suppressed his anger.

It's simple, he hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to die.

"Also, you'll need to pay something as compensation for the damaged spatial nodes."

"The specific price you need to pay will be decided by these two fellow Daoists beside me."

Mu Yu changed the subject, handing the initiative over to Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai.

Upon hearing this, the three Nascent Soul stage old monsters present were somewhat stunned, but they quickly came to their senses.

"Oh, so the three of you came here today to rob us."

"Are you treating me like an easy target?"

Old Demon Che could barely contain his demonic aura, and a magical treasure appeared in his hand, ready to be unleashed.

"Hey, wait a minute, fellow driver. Don't get angry, let's talk this out."

"How about we switch?"

Just then, Xiang Zhili suddenly spoke up and then gave Mu Yu a wink.

Mu Yu felt that he was more than 50% sure he could kill Che Laoyao, but seeing Xiang Zhili's appearance, Mu Yu gave up on that idea.

After all, Che Laoyao is a demon cultivator who came down from the spirit realm, so it's normal for him to have some trump cards up his sleeve over the years.

While Che Laoyao couldn't produce something like the genuine Immortal-Slaying Pearl, making a few pirated versions or similar items was quite easy.

Seeing that Xiang Zhili had spoken, Che Laoyao took several deep breaths before finally calming down.

"You two have been eyeing the treasure on me for a long time, haven't you?"

"I can take those things out, but I need that kid's Nascent Soul and the corpse of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Che Laoyao's words immediately shocked Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai.

"Another comrade has fallen? Who is it? Old Ghost Bai or...?"

Shocked, Xiang Zhili quickly asked.

Seeing this, Mu Yu simply said directly, "Neither of them, it's Master Hanli from the Xiaoji Palace who just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu took out the physical body of Han Li Shangren, but did not take out the nascent soul.

"Old Demon Che, I don't need your physical body right now, but I can give it to you."

"But what will you offer in exchange? I don't want ordinary magical treasures!"

The moment the physical body of the Venerable Hanli appeared, the three Nascent Soul stage old monsters present released their divine senses and observed it carefully.

Ultimately, everyone confirmed that this was indeed a physical body at the Nascent Soul stage.

"I never imagined that Junior Brother Mu could actually kill enemies of a higher level."

Xiang Zhili and the others looked at Mu Yu with a hint of apprehension.

Although this time only someone who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage died, if some time had passed, would I be among those who died?

For a moment, Xiang Zhili and the others all thought of eliminating the threat completely.

But the thought quickly vanished.

After all, Mu Yu and his group were no longer confident of killing him, and even if they gathered their strength, they might not be able to completely eliminate him.

Not to mention, the other party also possesses crucial information such as the location of spatial nodes.

"I've heard your natal magic weapon is a flying sword. In that case, how about I exchange this sword energy stone for it?"

"With this item, your swordsmanship talent will greatly increase, and you will be able to execute some swordsmanship secrets that you couldn't master before."

"If it weren't for the fact that I don't practice flying swords, I really wouldn't be willing to take this out."

Old Demon Che took out a stone the size of an infant's head. The stone looked very ordinary, but it faintly revealed the sharpness of sword energy.

It was as if an unparalleled sword aura was sealed within this thing.

"I didn't expect you to have something so legendary. Looks like today's trip was worthwhile!"

"I'm willing to trade this corpse for it, but don't even think about the Nascent Soul. I still have a use for it."
