Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 560: Escape [Subscription Request]

Among Zhou Chun's four pets, Mu Mei and Mu Sang are the most special ones.

The other three spirit pets, whether it is the eldest one, the golden-armored mountain turtle Shitou, the second one, the thunder dragon Baibai, or the golden-winged tiger, have all followed Zhou Chun since they were spirit beast eggs or cubs.

For a long time, when their intelligence was not high, they regarded Zhou Chun as their mother.

Therefore, Zhou Chun holds a very special position in the hearts of the three of them, and basically they will not betray Zhou Chun.

But Mu Mei Mu Sang is different.

It had fought a great battle with Zhou Chun before, but was defeated by Zhou Chun and was captured.

Later, in order to tame it, Zhou Chun tortured it and forced it to surrender.

In the end, it couldn't stand the torture anymore and surrendered to Zhou Chun.

Therefore, if there is a better place to go, it is hard to say whether Mu Mei and Mu Sang will abandon Zhou Chun and join someone else.

So when the Demon King Chongxuan mentioned Mu Mei and Mu Sang, Zhou Chun suddenly became extremely nervous.

Listening to his somewhat deaf and dumb words, Chongxuan Monster King also looked at him meaningfully and said: "Although the Wood Charm Clan is not as extinct as the Fushan Turtle Clan in this world of immortal cultivation, it is also very rare in the world of immortal cultivation, and most of them find it difficult to grow to the level of Monster King!"

At this point, he asked him bluntly, "Young man, where did you get this wood spirit pet?"

"I met Mu Sang in a forest in Shen Country. At that time, it was being hunted and the forest it was in was burned. I took it away from there, and then cultivated it to the third level, and then helped it break through to the fourth level!"

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Chun felt that he could not hide it, so he gritted his teeth and answered the question of the Demon King Chongxuan.

Hearing his words, Chongxuan Demon King could not help but nod his head in satisfaction and said, "Young man, you are still honest this time. If you say that you raised it since it was a child again, I will kill you right now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chun's expression suddenly changed, and he was secretly glad in his heart.

He didn't think that the Demon King Chongxuan was trying to intimidate him, he could only be glad that he made the right choice.

But the Chongxuan Demon King soon looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Don't worry, although the Wood Demon is rare, I don't want it to stay in the Mixian Ridge, and it won't help its growth much!"

After that, he changed the subject and continued, "But if you can really help it cultivate to the fifth level one day, you must bring it to Mixian Ridge again to help me!"

“No problem. If Mu Sang is lucky enough to survive the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation and advance to the fifth level in the future, I will definitely bring it to Mixian Ridge to meet Senior Chongxuan Demon King!”

Zhou Chun felt relieved and agreed immediately without hesitation.

If that day really comes, he must have successfully formed a fetus. By then, when he comes to see the Demon King Chongxuan, the status of both parties will be reversed!
However, this statement made by the Demon King Chongxuan also allowed Zhou Chun to discover an opportunity.

He immediately had an idea and said boldly, "Senior Chongxuan Demon King is knowledgeable and should know that if a wood spirit like Mu Sang wants to grow quickly, it needs to absorb more wood spirit power contained in those rare spiritual trees and spiritual medicines. If you want it to advance to the fifth level as soon as possible, why not let it absorb the wood spirit power accumulated by those high-level spiritual trees and spiritual medicines in Mixian Ridge to help it grow!"

Hearing his words, the Chongxuan Demon King's face darkened. He looked at him unkindly and said, "Young man, you are really going too far. You just escaped a disaster and you dare to plot against me again!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "I dare not do that. I am just making a suggestion for your sake. If you have no intention of accepting it, just ignore my words!"

"Humph, there is no need for you to offer any suggestions, nor do you need to teach me how to do things!"

The Chongxuan Demon King snorted coldly, his tone was very unfriendly.

But the next moment it said calmly: "Of course, I know better than you, a human junior, what a wood spirit needs to grow. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will take it to various places in the mountains to absorb the power of wood spirits!"

After that, he ordered Zhou Chun: "You stay in my palace and don't go anywhere. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Then, without waiting for Zhou Chun's response, he grabbed Mu Mei and left the underground palace.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun was also stunned, and then fell into silence.

To be honest, he felt very strange about this Chongxuan Demon King and was a little confused about him.

The other party's style of doing things is indeed that of a demon king.

However, through conversation with the other party, Zhou Chun discovered that the other party seemed to know a lot about the human race, as if he had once been a human.

And one thing that can be felt is that the other party does not seem to have a particularly strong murderous intention towards human cultivators. They are not like the demon kings recorded in the classics, who want to kill and devour the corpses of human cultivators when they see them!
"Could it be that it once disguised itself as a human and lived in the world of immortal cultivation? Or was it once a spiritual pet of a cultivator?"

Zhou Chun pondered secretly in his heart and felt that there were only these two reasons.

At present, apart from the final choice of Stone, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle, which still makes people a little worried, his life safety seems to have been guaranteed.

This is undoubtedly the best news.

After some thought, Zhou Chun suppressed his distracting thoughts and patiently meditated to comprehend the magical power of "Golden Escape Technique".

The underground palace is the lair of the Chongxuan Demon King. In order to avoid exposing the existence of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar], Zhou Chun certainly would not meditate and practice here.

Then the remaining time can only be used to comprehend supernatural powers.

After waiting for more than a month, Mu Mei and Mu Sang, who were well fed and watered, finally returned to the underground palace with the Demon King Chongxuan.

After returning to the underground palace, the Chongxuan Demon King couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun for a few times, then nodded slightly and said: "Young man, you are sensible. You actually resisted the urge to move around!"

"Senior, do you have any other instructions? Can you let me go?"

Zhou Chun said in a low voice with lowered eyebrows, and asked about leaving again.

Not to mention that Luo Qingni was still waiting for him outside, he also had to go back to the Zhou family to continue teaching his apprentices, so he must not miss the best period of education.

So he is now very anxious to leave this place.

However, the Chongxuan Demon King said slowly, "It's not impossible to let you go, youngster, but to prevent you from playing tricks on the Soul Contract, I have to leave something on you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately became alert.

He immediately said, "Senior, you worry too much. I have always regarded the stone as my own family. How could I use the Soul Contract to hurt it?"

He looked at the Chongxuan Demon King sincerely and said, "Besides, I know that doing this will anger you, Senior. How can I do such an unwise thing when I have already escaped from danger!"

"Hehe, do you think I will believe your words? And even if you don't hurt the little turtle, you can just avoid me. Who can I find to cancel the soul contract on the little turtle?"

The Chongxuan Demon King said with a sneer on his face, not believing Zhou Chun's words at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun could only helplessly say again: "Senior, if you are worried, I can swear a Dao Heart Oath. If I don't come back to see you before I reach the late Jindan stage, I will never be able to break through to the late Jindan stage. Is that okay?"

"Dao Xin oath?"

Demon King Chongxuan looked at Zhou Chun and pondered.

It indeed has a deep understanding of human cultivators, otherwise it would not have been able to hold Zhou Chun firmly before.

Therefore, it also knows that for some human cultivators with great potential, leaving certain restrictions on them that control their life and death will indeed have an impact on their own spiritual aspirations, making it difficult for them to continue to make progress bravely.

If it didn't care about Zhou Chun's future achievements, there would be no problem doing this. But now it really wanted to use Zhou Chun to do something, and Zhou Chun's current cultivation level was not enough to help it do those things.

Therefore, if Zhou Chun were to be blinded by the means it left behind and lose his courage and determination to make progress, it would not be in its best interest.

After pondering for a long time, it finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I will trust you this time. Just swear a Taoist oath."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun felt relieved and immediately swore a vow in front of the Demon King Chongxuan.

After making the oath, Zhou Chun immediately looked at the Chongxuan Demon King and asked impatiently, "I have made the oath. Can you let me go now, senior?"

Upon hearing this, the Chongxuan Demon King waved his hand unhappily and said, "Alright, since you are in such a hurry to leave, I naturally don't have the time to keep you any longer!"

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with a cold look in his eyes and said, "But remember, it will definitely take less than a hundred years for the little turtle to break through the fourth level and successfully carry the mountain. So if you don't come within a hundred years, don't blame me for breaking my promise!"

"I will remember this and I will never forget the promise I made to you, Senior."

Zhou Chun nodded solemnly and agreed to the matter.

"In that case, you can get out now!"

As the Chongxuan Demon King spoke, he waved his sleeves and shot out a ball of yellow light that enveloped Zhou Chun, instantly isolating him from all perception of the outside world.

By the time the yellow light faded away, he was already on a mountain somewhere in the outer area of ​​Mixian Ridge.

In addition to Mu Mei and Mu Sang, there was also a blood-stained storage bag under his feet!
"This is……"

Zhou Chun looked at the storage bag at his feet, a look of doubt and uncertainty flashed across his face.

Mu Meimu Sang on the side lowered his head at this time and explained some of the situations to him through mental communication.

It turned out that when the Chongxuan Demon King took it away and absorbed the wood spirit power contained in high-level spiritual trees everywhere, he also asked it some questions about Zhou Chun, including why Zhou Chun entered the Mixian Ridge.

The storage bag under Zhou Chun's feet now is exactly the relic of the Golden Core Elder of the Dihuo Sect who died at the hands of the Mountain-Moving Bear and the Earth-Armored Pig.

This was originally the rule set by the Chongxuan Demon King. All storage bags obtained by high-level monsters in the mountains from killing human cultivators of level three or above must be handed over to a fixed location outside his underground palace and guarded by one of his trusted subordinates.

Then, once it has time, it will open the accumulated storage bags for inspection.

The storage bag of the elder of the Dihuo Sect happened to be in the bag that the Demon King Chongxuan had not had time to open to check, and the remaining mark of the original owner's spiritual consciousness was still inside.

Now that this thing has appeared under Zhou Chun's feet, it is obvious that the Chongxuan Demon King intends to do him a favor!
But Zhou Chun not only did not feel the joy of completing the task, but instead looked at Mu Mei and Mu Sang seriously and asked, "Mu Sang, what else did you say? You are not going to sell out all my secrets, are you?"

The several pets knew all the secrets about him.

Whether it is the [Divine Jar of Purifying Heaven and Earth], the [Moon Toad Pearl], or the secret island, the several spirit pets know about them all.

If these secrets were leaked, he would be in real trouble.

Fortunately, Mu Mei and Mu Sang seemed to know the seriousness of the situation, or in other words, they knew who controlled their life and death.

Facing Zhou Chun's questioning, it shook its head and defended itself.

According to it, it only talked about some of Zhou Chun's origins and indirectly confirmed the things that Zhou Chun had previously told the Chongxuan Demon King. It did not leak any of the secrets about Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun generally believes this statement.

Apart from anything else, if the Demon King Chongxuan really knew about the [Divine Jar of Purifying Heaven and Earth], he would definitely not let Zhou Chun leave like this.

But even so, Mu Mei and Mu Sang's actions this time made Zhou Chun secretly alert.

He secretly decided in his heart that before he broke his elixir and formed an infant, he would never let Mu Mei meet the Chongxuan Demon King again. He would also try his best to prevent it from meeting other demon kings, lest he be sold out by this old deer one day!
His expression relaxed slightly, and he took the initiative to reveal the matter and nodded, saying: "You have also gained a huge benefit this time. When you go back, you should retreat and digest what you have gained this time!"

After saying that, he put Mu Mei and Mu Sang into the spirit beast bag, then took the storage bag of the Dihuo Sect elder and left Mixian Ridge.

Although entering the Mixian Ridge this time was extremely thrilling and I temporarily lost a pet, fortunately, the final goal was achieved.

Moreover, Stone, the Golden-armored Mountain-carrying Turtle, was very lucky this time. He was fortunate enough to obtain the inheritance left by a strong man from the Mountain-carrying Turtle clan.

If he can digest the inheritance and return to Zhou Chun, his future strength and potential will be limitless, and he will definitely be able to secure his position as the big brother of the team again!

In addition, Mu Mei and Mu Sang also gained great benefits, and it is estimated that they have the foundation to be promoted to the fourth-level intermediate grade in the future.

If we count the two golden thread dendrobiums that are over 3,000 years old that Zhou Chun is about to get from the Jackdaw Sect, the harvest can be considered rich.

If nothing unexpected happens, the door to the middle stage of the Golden Core will be half opened!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of Mixian Ridge.

No matter how tortuous and difficult the process was, the result now was not too bad after all. He could now look forward to the harvest from [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill].

Not long after, Zhou Chun reunited with Luo Qingni who had been waiting anxiously.

After seeing Zhou Chun return, Luo Qingni breathed a sigh of relief, but also looked at him with a look of doubt and asked, "Did Brother Zhou encounter any danger in there? How come there has been no news for such a long time?"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sighed: "Isn't that right? Zhou almost lost his life this time!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingni was also frightened and immediately exclaimed: "What on earth happened? Why did Brother Zhou say that!"

"Alas, this matter is complicated, and Zhou has sworn not to reveal a single thing, so Brother Luo, please stop asking!"

Zhou Chun shook his head with a secretive look on his face, and changed the subject, saying, "In short, although the process was tortuous and dangerous, fortunately, I still succeeded in my mission and successfully found the relics of the Earth Fire Sect elder. I think it is enough to give an explanation to the Jackdaw Sect in exchange for what we want!"

Hearing what he said, Luo Qingni was shocked, but also showed a hint of joy.

She is now more concerned about refining the [Jade Dew and Golden Cloud Pill] than Zhou Chun.

Therefore, when she heard that the mission had been completed, she was happier than anyone else.

At that moment, he was tactful and did not ask Zhou Chun what happened in the Mixian Ridge. He just looked at Zhou Chun with gratitude and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, thank you for your hard work. If you can practice the [Jade Dew Golden Cloud Pill] this time, you will have made a great contribution. Qing Ni has suffered a lot this time!"

After hearing her words, Zhou Chun felt embarrassed to play the victim anymore, so he could only quickly and modestly reply: "Brother Luo, you are too kind. Without your information and communication with others, we would not be able to gather all the materials. Moreover, to make the elixir, we still need your help!"

"Please rest assured, Brother Zhou, Qing Ni will definitely go all out and will never waste the elixir that Brother Zhou risked his life to obtain!"

Luo Qingni nodded solemnly and issued a military order.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two returned to Heishan Market together.

When they arrived outside the market, Zhou Chun did not go in directly. Instead, he used a communication talisman to send a message to Zhou Shijie, asking him to meet him outside the market.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent the cultivators of Zhenyang Sect from having any bad thoughts about him in the market after learning the news.

He had just escaped from the tiger's den and didn't want to enter the wolf's den again!
