Pagoda Immortality

After Lu Li and Wu De divided the snake gall, they continued to travel non-stop. Even at night, they only took turns to sit cross-legged and rest for half an hour.

Finally, at dawn the next day, the two walked out of the purple mist.

Lu Li suddenly felt empty and relaxed.

Although there was still a faint mist in front, it was normal morning mist. Not only did it not feel dull like the purple mist, but it felt a little cool.

More importantly, he had been walking in the swamp for more than ten days, and even when he stepped on the grass, it was soft, for fear that he would accidentally step through the grass. Now it's good, finally he has his feet on the ground and can walk forward boldly.

Wu De also looked a lot more relaxed, but he still didn't completely relax his vigilance in his heart. He said to Lu Li, "Boy, don't be happy too soon. Although the land here is normal, there are more difficult things."

"More difficult things?"

"Well, there is a mutant centipede here, called the Great Lake Centipede, which is a specialty of this Great Lake. An adult Great Lake Centipede has the strength equivalent to the eighth level of Qi training. If we encounter it, it will be troublesome."

"So powerful!" Lu Li's heart was immediately hanging when he heard it.

"Of course, but although this thing is powerful, its intelligence is not high, even worse than the three-headed snake we killed before. If we encounter a lone one, we can try to work together. After all, the body of this Great Lake Centipede is very valuable."

"Are you crazy?" Lu Li looked at Wu De with contempt, thinking that this old man was probably obsessed with money, and followed Wu De as he walked.

"Hehe, people die for money and birds die for food. Although I have lived for some years, I can't avoid the vulgarity." Wu De touched his goatee and sighed.

"Haha, then you may die from this word 'wealth' someday."

"How dare you curse me!"

"Isn't it? As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. This way is not the way of reason, but the means. You don't have the means and you don't know your own strength. If you don't want to die, then what else can you do?" Lu Li said casually.

"How can you... have such a weird understanding?" Wu De stared at Lu Li with a look of wonder.

"Haha, of course I figured it out along the way."

"You kid, it's really interesting. But... you make a lot of sense."

Wu De nodded, and said with some emotion: "Back then, I was defeated by greed and love to join in the fun. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today to listen to your nonsense, but it's a pity that it's hard to change one's nature..."

"Oh?" Lu Li was curious, "What do you mean?"

"Forget it, why should I tell you all this."

"......"

Just as the two continued to move forward.

"Master, Senior Brother..."

Somewhere underground in the depths of the Endless Swamp, there is a cave covered by a faint green light, and a crisp girl's voice suddenly came out from it.

The girl's voice seemed to be worried and a little scared.

Following the voice, I saw a 17 or 18-year-old black-clothed girl holding her fingers, her eyes moving between the black-clothed man lying on the stone bed and the black-robed old man standing beside the bed.

"He can't die." The black-robed old man's voice was gloomy and hoarse, sounding very unaccustomed.

This person was the black-robed old man who went to Youlong Town to pursue Lu Li. He was also the great elder of the Yinshi Sect, Mo Shang, who was a secret sect unknown to people under this swamp.

If the righteous sect knew that there was such a secret sect hidden under this swamp, I'm afraid it would immediately set off a storm in the cultivation world.

"Master, it's all because of my useless disciples that Master has troubled me." The man on the bed said with a little self-abasement.

"Hmph!" Mo Shang snorted coldly, "You really troubled me. Who told you to take Wei Yue out without permission? If something happens to her, can you bear the responsibility with your worthless life!"

"Yes, it's my fault." He Jin felt sad, but he didn't dare to disrespect his master.

He Jin knew how important his junior sister was to his master. He just felt sorry for his junior sister who had lived in this fog for many years and had never seen the outside world, so he took her out for a walk with good intentions.

He thought his master would be out for a while before coming back, but he didn't expect that they would be caught as soon as they came back.

"Not right? Go to the punishment hall and get a hundred sticks. If you take Wei Yue out without permission next time, you can only stay in the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit." The old man turned around and left.

"Master, my senior brother is injured. One, one hundred sticks..."

"Junior sister, no need to say more, I'll go." He Jin struggled to get off the bed and walked out tremblingly. The girl named Wei Yue wanted to help but was stopped by him shaking her head.

He knew very well that what the master meant by "staying in the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit" was not to let him go to the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit to practice. Only dead people would stay there. If he dared to refute it now, he might have to stay in the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit right away.

When passing by Mo Shang, He Jin did not forget to say, "The Xuanyin Land..."

"Don't worry about it." Seeing that He Jin was so tactful, Mo Shang's expression eased a little, "The Xuanyin Land is no longer useful, but... these two people were able to escape from Wei Yue's Soul-Catching Bell, which is worth studying. The master will send Wu Qi to deal with it."

Seeing his master talking to him so much, He Jin immediately felt a great favor, and he didn't even feel sad about having to eat a hundred cold sticks. He bowed happily and said, "Disciple understands."

After that, he limped out of the cave.

"Master, I took the initiative to go out. Isn't this a bit too unfair to my brother..." Wei Yue looked outside the door and said sadly.

"Hey, Wei Yue, you have to remember that you are of noble status and are not from the same world as that boy. If he hadn't brought you back, I wouldn't even look at him, let alone accept him as my apprentice."

To this girl, Mo Shang's tone was very gentle, even a little humble.

And then he said, "The world outside is not peaceful yet, and we need an opportunity. When the time is right, I will take you out of this dark swamp. The world is so big, you can go anywhere."

"Really?" Wei Yue's eyes revealed a strong yearning.

"Of course, believe me, this day won't be too far away." Mo Shang's bloodless face grinned, and it was ugly, but he was really smiling.

"I understand, Master, don't worry, I won't leave Daze again without permission." Wei Yue thought that Mo Shang was probably worried that he would sneak out again.

Mo Shang smiled even happier when he heard this. He knew that this girl was kind now and never lied. As for the future... maybe she would change, but I hope she wouldn't forget him as her master.

Wei Yue was actually very confused. She couldn't even remember her childhood.

She didn't even know where she came from. She only remembered that she was here the moment she opened her eyes. Her master and several weird old men were looking at her excitedly.

She was very confused. She didn't know what happened, who she was, and what she was doing here...
