Chapter 313: Master of Tianji Pavilion (62)
He Xu naturally could not accept this result, and at this moment, the Heavenly Stone that he had brought with him and was about to hand over to the Demon King seized the opportunity and immediately bewitched He Xu.
"Do you want to save her and the cub that hasn't hatched yet? I can help you, but on one condition."
The moment Wen Tianshi opened his mouth, He Xu's eyes darkened.
In the end, he agreed without even asking what Tianshi wanted: "I promise you."
Even though he knew that this thing had bad intentions, he would not regret it as long as he could save A Lan and the lifeless child.
After watching He Xu swear an oath to the Heaven, Wen Tianshi told him how to save Xu Lan and let her resume her path of cultivating immortals.
"There is a great treasure in the demon world, called Phoenix Blood."
It paused for a moment, and its tone rose a little: "I don't need to say more about the rest. You should know that it is true that Phoenix blood can bring people back to life."
"However, in addition to the Phoenix Blood, one more thing is needed, and that is the Worry-Free Water of the Green Water Sect."
He Xu's eyes moved. He did know about the Phoenix Blood. In fact, the Phoenix Blood was handed over to him, the high priest, by the Demon King, and asked to keep it for him.
However, the Demon King has placed a restriction on the Phoenix blood. If it is used, the Demon King will be the first to know.
He Xu was able to take it out, but he could not hide it from the Demon King's perception.
Therefore, after He Xu embezzled money, the Demon King was furious and issued a warrant for his arrest. The former high priest of the demon clan became a complete deserter.
However, even though the Phoenix Blood was in hand, the Worry-Free Water was still nowhere to be found.
Worry-free water is not water in the strict sense, but comes from a snow lotus in the Bishui Sect. Only when the moonlight on the fifteenth day of each month, the night of the full moon, shines on the snow lotus, a small drop of moon dew will condense.
The moon dew is the Worry-Free Water. According to legend, just one drop of it can bring all things back to life.
It is also the treasure of the Bishui Sect. Nowadays, only a small bottle has been collected.
It is extremely difficult for He Xu to enter the Bishui Sect and get the Worry-Free Water now.
In the end, He Xu struggled internally for a while, but still borrowed the waist badge that was not taken back when Xu Lan left the Bishui Sect, and then he entered the Bishui Sect and got the Worry-Free Water.
Because the badge used belonged to Xu Lan, everyone in the Bishui Sect naturally thought that it was Xu Lan who took the Worry-Free Water, so they began to send people to look for Xu Lan in secret, wanting to get the Worry-Free Water back.
Then, according to what Wen Tianshi said, the two were merged together.
The effect was indeed extraordinary. Not only did Xu Lan's injuries recover, but even his cultivation level was mostly restored.
The egg that had lost all vitality also regained its vitality.
He Xu finally felt relieved. He quickly took Xu Lan and the egg into seclusion, and his life became a little more peaceful.
However, these peaceful days were short-lived.
The Heavenly Stone that he had always carried with him finally put forward the condition that he had promised to help He Xu, which was to make He Xu swear an oath to the Heaven.
It sounds simple, just let He Xu take him to the ghost realm.
He Xu knew that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed, and he had always been wary of the Heavenly Stone, but because of his oath to the Heaven, he could not refuse.
He Xu found an excuse and prepared to say goodbye to Xu Lan, then headed to the ghost realm with the Questioning Stone.
Although Xu Lan agreed on the surface, she still followed him because she was worried about He Xu.
Things were just as He Xu had thought, indeed not simple. Below the ghost realm was the earth vein.
The place where the power of chaos is sealed.
The Wentian Stone revealed its hidden true face, and the intelligence it gave birth to directly controlled He Xu's body. It wanted to take this opportunity to devour the power of chaos, strengthen itself, completely escape the fate of the Wentian Stone, and become an independent individual.
Unfortunately, the Asking Heavenly Stone failed. Firstly, the power of chaos was more difficult to tame than it had imagined. Secondly, at the critical moment, Xu Lan appeared and awakened the controlled He Xu, which directly led to the failure of the Asking Heavenly Stone's swallowing this time.
The power of chaos counterattacked in an instant, leaving the Heavenly Stone in a weakened state.
He Xu immediately seized this opportunity and joined forces with Xu Lan to seal the Wentian Stone. Then they immediately retreated from the ghost realm and returned to their secluded place.
But after this incident, their whereabouts were discovered.
The people sent by the Demon King and the disciples secretly searched for by the Bishui Sect found He Nianguan not long after he was born from the egg.
Another round of wandering.
He Xu took Xu Lan and He Nianguan to change their secluded places several times, but the two forces were relentless in pursuit and found them less than a month after they changed their locations.
The pursuit was too intense. Finally, He Xu and his companions ran into the pursuers from the demon world. As a last resort, He Xu asked Xu Lan to take He Nianguan away first, while he faced the pursuers alone and fought with them head-on.
Unfortunately, one person cannot defeat four hands, and the sealed Wentian Stone begins to move again.
He Xu was still defeated and was captured by the people from the demon world.
He was covered in blood, revealing his true form. He met the Demon King again. The Demon King looked as cold as ever. He asked expressionlessly, "He Xu, hand over the things, and I will forgive you for what happened."
He Xu also knew that the Demon King was showing mercy to him by saying this.
But he had already used the phoenix blood to save Xu Lan and He Nianguan, and he couldn't return it.
Seeing that He Xu was still silent, the Demon King raised his eyes and said, "He Xu, my patience is limited, or do you want to wait until my people find the Holy Maiden of the Green Water Sect before handing over the Phoenix Blood?"
He Xu was silent for a long time, and then he closed his eyes: "Thank you, my emperor, for your mercy, but I can no longer turn back."
The Demon King's eyebrows twitched, realizing that there was no way He Xu would hand over the Phoenix Blood, and his eyes turned cold.
Before he could do anything, the giant python that was dyed took action first.
A blood-red demon pill peeled off from the giant python and floated in front of the Demon King together with the Heavenly Stone.
The giant python twitched, and instantly fell heavily to the ground. He said weakly: "Alan was not aware of the theft of the Phoenix Blood. I am willing to offer the demon pill and this thing, and beg my emperor to let Alan go."
The Demon King's eyes changed the moment the Heaven-Asking Stone appeared. He put the Heaven-Asking Stone into his sleeve and said in a calm tone, "I promise you."
"But where did you find this?"
He Xu was silent for a moment, and then told the Demon King in detail how he discovered the Heavenly Stone.
Finally, he added: "Although this thing contains great energy, its ability to deceive people is also first-rate..."
Having said that, He Xu, who was already seriously injured and now had lost his demon pill, could no longer hold on. He slowly closed his eyes, and the giant python's body disintegrated and turned into a handful of yellow earth.
The Demon King was silent for a moment. He looked up at the demon pill still floating in front of him, and finally put it into his sleeve.
The Demon King turned around, his back looking as cold as ever.
"Recall all the personnel who are hunting down the Saintess of the Green Water Sect. The High Priest is dead, and the arrest warrant is revoked."
"Yes."
