“Fellow Daoist, please help me uncover these formations.”

Just when Zhao Linyu was distracted, a hoarse chuckle came to his ears.

Turning around, he saw that it was undoubtedly the source of the plague looking at him hopefully. Those cold pupils made Zhao Linyu instinctively feel physically uncomfortable, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike.

“Daoyou, where are you from?”

Zhao Linyu did not agree immediately, but suppressed his inner fear and asked this question calmly.

He knew that what he was going to do next might bring a horrible disaster to the world, and he was caught in a dilemma.

Not only Zhao Linyu felt curious and confused, the other inmates who followed him also narrowed their eyes and waited for the answer with bated breath.

“Hehe, who am I? Daoist friend, don’t you already have the answer in your heart?”

Root of the Plague smiled faintly, tapped the stone door with his left hand several times, and said to himself in a self-deprecating tone:
“My real body is in there, enduring the torment of the ancient sky fire. What you see now is just a resurrected body.”

As soon as these words were spoken, its identity was completely confirmed. The Ancient Emperor of Disaster who was said to have caused a catastrophe more than 40,000 years ago was, in the history records of the demon clan, a demon king who was qualified to compete for the position of the strongest.

Looking at the era in which he lived, forty thousand years ago and forty thousand years later, no demon king could be compared with him.

As the truth came to light, the faces of the inmates present could not help but change slightly. At first, they thought that they followed along in search of opportunities. Who would have thought that one of the monks leading the team was the ominous source of being imprisoned in the Evil Soul Sea.

A biting chill instantly crept up everyone’s backs. They had some experience and knew what had happened in the past.

Especially the notorious existence like the root plague, which has been heard of for a long time. It is said that all living creatures infected by it will have a very miserable end and become unrecognizable monsters.

Zhao Linyu’s body froze as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at the source of the epidemic, Jiang Mo, and almost lost the ability to speak. His original happy expression obviously turned into shyness and hesitation.

Root of the Plague’s expression turned cold, and just as he was about to urge him, Jiang Mo raised his hand to stop him.

“Fellow Daoist, if you have any concerns, just speak up. We are not unreasonable people.”

Jiang Mo’s gentle attitude eased the tense atmosphere a little.

Zhao Linyu frowned, thought for a while, and said frankly:
“I don’t know what your purpose is, but releasing such a restricted area master will probably bring irreparable disaster to the world and cause the entire fairyland to sink, including my sect and hometown.”

“A gentleman has his own rules and his own rules. I have heard a lot about the legend of Wan’e, but I never thought it was right in front of me. Please forgive me for not having the courage to release it without permission, risking the fate of all living beings.”

“.”The Root Plague looked at the old man calmly, not surprised at all, and remained silent on the spot.

“Then why do you think that if it doesn’t come out, there will be no disasters for you in your fairyland?”

Jiang Mo smiled faintly, not hiding his origins:
“I am a living being who walked out of another forbidden area of ​​life, Tianyuan. Before I ascended, the three major forces in the Eastern Wasteland of the Immortal Realm, the Daye Dynasty, the Sunset Royal Court, and the Void Sword Sect, repeatedly spied on our world and planted many pawns in it, which led to many conflicts.”

“A few years ago, when I was trapped in the Abyss, I said that I would make them clean their necks and wait for me to come out. Now that the Sunset Royal Court has been forced by me to flee far into the starry sky, the demise of the Imperial Dynasty and the Sword Sect is only a matter of time.”

“This is a war between worlds. As the side of Tianyuan, as long as I am willing, the East Wasteland will be in turmoil in an instant. I guarantee that no one can stop me.”

“You are actually a creature from the Abyss?”

Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Zhao Linyu’s eyes. Another terrifying existence in the life forbidden zone was born.

“We all are.” Feixian Yuzhu glanced at him.

“Oh, by the way, I have proof that this guy is indeed stronger than me. Even when compared to my peak state, he is not weaker at all.”

At this time, the root cause of the epidemic once again made shocking statements.

Instantly, Zhao Linyu and the other prisoners felt a sense of horror that hit them, as if they were in the Netherworld Purgatory. What kind of cultivation level was the man in front of them? !

“.”

Zhao Linyu’s cold sweat continued to drip from his forehead. He gritted his teeth secretly, reluctantly looked at the two of them, and insisted on his own opinion:
“Even so.”

“Then you go.”

Jiang Mo interrupted the old man’s speech and waved his hand. A void portal leading to the outside world appeared. As for where it went, it was unknown. After all, Jiang Mo did not specifically lock on the specific location.

“Ah?” Zhao Linyu was stunned. He was caught off guard by this sudden scene and even thought he had heard it wrong.

“?!”

The source of the epidemic was puzzled at first, but then it was relieved. It knew Jiang Mo’s character. He probably didn’t want to bow his head and beg for help at this moment, nor did he want to take Zhao Linyu’s life. Perhaps there was a solution, so it let Zhao Linyu go.

“Haven’t I made myself clear enough? You can go now. I can destroy these seals without you.”

Jiang Mo’s smile was easy-going. He placed his right hand on the huge stone gate and exerted force with his five fingers. The seal began to vibrate violently and the seabed also shook, like a tsunami or earthquake of dozens of magnitude.

Zhao Linyu’s pupils shrank suddenly. His intuition told him that the man in front of him was not lying. He blurted out subconsciously:

“Then why did you go to the Heavenly Prison to save me, didn’t you do it just to unlock the seal?”

“Yes, it is good to make some more preparations. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. But if I am strong enough, there is no need to ‘sharpen the knife’, and there is no need to trouble you, the ‘knife sharpener’.”

“Did you hear me? Since you don’t want to help me, then leave immediately and don’t make any mistakes. Our grudges here are wiped out. If I find out that you dared to hinder me from escaping, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”

The Root of the Plague spoke coldly, and the murderous intent emanating from his body caused the temperature on the seabed to drop sharply by many degrees. Zhao Linyu and the inmates who were closer were all terrified, having the illusion that they were infinitely close to death.

Now, it was Zhao Linyu’s turn to be confused. He didn’t dare to report the news back to the sect in Zhongzhou.

Suddenly, a saber-toothed dragon in the crowd slowly spoke:
“Fellow Daoist, you have been locked up for a thousand years. Has your brain become rotten?”

“Now that the situation has been decided, it doesn’t matter whether you are there or not. Why don’t you understand how to make the decision?”

“The Eastern Wilderness’s Life Forbidden Zones are the most numerous and the strongest in the entire Immortal Realm. You should feel honored to have these two strongest people from these forbidden zones talking to you today. Otherwise, when other forbidden zones emerge to harvest in the future, how will you and your sect be able to protect yourselves?”

“If you have their protection, as fellow restricted area creatures, how dare those who covet your existence act rashly?”

“To put it simply, if you help, it will only benefit you, but if you don’t help, there will be no benefit at all.”

The dragon’s voice was extremely vicissitudes, and it must have lived for two to three thousand years. It was such a ruler of the Eight Palaces. After admonishing Zhao Linyu, it slowly swam in front of Jiang Mo, bowed its head and said:
“My friend, I am willing to follow you and become your mount to repay your kindness in saving me.”

“Tsk, this old dragon is such a flatterer.”

The evil spirit ancestor couldn’t help but complain in his heart when watching this scene. Zhulong on the side looked at this fellow who was similar to himself and remained silent.

“Is it?”

“I really do need a mount. If you are willing, you can follow me from now on.”

Jiang Mo agreed immediately.

“Fellow Daoist, please let us follow you! We will be loyal to you forever!”

“Fellow Daoist, I am willing to be your pioneer and carry out your will. No matter how corrupt the years are, I will always follow you.”

“Senior, please let me stay with you.” Soon, the inmates present begged Jiang Mo to accept them.

“Everyone, please stand up.”

“I know what you mean. Please stay by my side from now on. I also have some trivial matters to take care of. I hope you can help me.”

Jiang Mo accepted these followers and condensed ten white Qi seals in his left hand, which turned into the sect emblem of the Trinity Sect. The front side integrated the three major images of heaven, earth and man, with man in the middle, with the sky above his head and the earth under his feet, and behind him were the images of the sun, moon and stars, all three suspended side by side.

“Take these marks. If there is a disaster in the future, just call me and I will come.”

“Thank you, Lord!”

“Thank you, my Lord!!!”

Everyone said in unison, without any wariness, and accepted it directly.

What a joke.

Your cultivation of the seventh and eighth palaces is no different from a tiny speck of dust in front of a truly supreme Taoist master, and is far from being worth his time and effort.

What’s more, he is the master of the forbidden area, and his strength is much stronger than those in the same realm.

Therefore, the ten inmates readily agreed, and they were all very happy, as they finally got to hold a giant leg.

In the end, only Zhao Linyu, who had the highest level of cultivation, was left hesitating in place.

Unlike other prisoners, he is the Supreme Lord of Tao, far stronger than the ten prisoners, so naturally he would not choose to surrender so easily.

After hesitating for a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Linyu successfully convinced himself by saying that he should temporarily approach the darkness and observe its movements. Well, that was actually just self-deceiving psychological comfort.

“Fellow Daoist, I am willing to lend you a helping hand. The affairs of the Eastern Wasteland have nothing to do with me. I just hope that when you raise your butcher knife towards Zhongzhou in the future, you can avoid my sect.”

Zhao Linyu requested solemnly, looking respectful and not daring to overstep the line.

“Okay, we agree to your request.”

Before Jiang Mo could reply, the Root of the Plague agreed first. It gave a chilling smile that looked friendly but faintly exuded a dangerous aura.

“This…” Zhao Linyu was shocked and didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you if I say so.”

It was not until Jiang Mo expressed his opinion that the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His frowning brows relaxed completely, and he muttered to himself:
“Okay, thank you very much.”

Immediately, the ten inmates introduced themselves to Jiang Mo one by one. After listening, Jiang Mo decided to send them out.

“The Evil Soul Sea will soon be surrounded by all parties. With your strength, you are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. Split up and escape first. Observe the movements of the outside world for me and hide your identities.”

“Yes! Lord!”

“Om!!”

Jiang Mo once again created multiple void portals, which teleported randomly and sent all ten prisoners out at once. Before leaving, he cast a spell on them to conceal their breath and change their appearance so that they would not be discovered by the strong men of the Daye Dynasty and the Void Sword Sect.

“Just adapt to the situation and wait for me outside.”

“As long as the seal is broken, you don’t need to hide. Follow me and rule this world openly.”

“No one can hurt you from under my protection.”

“Go, take my place as my eyes, take my place as my feet, measure and observe this world for me.”

In the blink of an eye, the four void portals closed one after another, and in the end only Zhao Linyu was left.

“I need a quarter of an hour to relax, and then I will unblock you.”

The old man said helplessly:
“My blood and energy have been severely depleted. My body is in a state of exhaustion. If I force myself to use the magic, I won’t be able to withstand it. Do you have any healing pills?”

“Have.”

The Fairy Master smiled leisurely, took out a bottle of mysterious potion from his arms and handed it to Zhao Linyu.

“Nine-light star water is one of the best holy medicines for restoring blood and nourishing the soul.”

Needless to say, this is a treasure left behind in the special storage space of Feixian Daojun’s faith. If it weren’t for the good relationship between Feixian Yuzhu and Jiang Mo, it would be impossible for him to take it out to heal Zhao Linyu.

“!”

In an instant, Zhao Linyu’s eyes lit up. He took it with both hands as a sign of respect and thanked him in a deep voice.

“Gulu!”

“Guru!!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zhao Linyu unscrewed the cork and drank the Nine Star Water in big gulps. The medicinal effect took effect immediately.

“Boom!”

Brilliant starlight bloomed from his body, repairing his almost exhausted body with an extremely strong momentum, and his soul continued to grow stronger.

Jiang Mo watched silently without disturbing him.

“My friend, you are so loyal. I will repay you tenfold in the future.” The Source of Plague bowed to the Fairy Lord and thanked him.

“You’re welcome, Senior.”

The Fairy Master smiled slightly, not taking it to heart. He didn’t make any efforts for the sake of reward, he just wanted to do it.

Soon, a quarter of an hour later, the medicinal effect of the star water evaporated extremely perfectly. Zhao Linyu, who was originally dying, suddenly regained his breath, his injuries recovered a lot, and there was no sign of his previous weakness.

He slowly stood up, knowing that the time had come to fulfill his promise. He looked up at the towering stone gate of the formation in front of him, his eyes filled with interwoven purple-gold rays of light, and began to analyze the composition and overlapping dislocations of the formations.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Linyu retracted his gaze and said:

“Everyone, protect me. I can unlock 70% of the formation restrictions above. The remaining 30% is of unknown origin and unheard of, so I dare not try it easily. It will take longer to unlock it. However, it seems that we don’t have that much time.”

“As for the 70% you agreed on, give me a week and it will be gone in a week.”

“Okay! You just need to do your best to break the formation, and we will not let the outside pursuers disturb you!”

The Root of the Plague was overjoyed and clenched his fists, his scarlet eyes flashing with ambition.

“Try to solve it as much as possible. I’m here. In the worst case scenario, I can save your life and you won’t be imprisoned again.”

Jiang Mo also made a promise, which made Zhao Linyu feel completely relieved. Then, the old man began to solve the formation. (End of this chapter)
