The reason why he told them about the Asura Blood Pool was to mislead Tianhua Laozu and the others into thinking that he couldn't solve the problem of the Heavenly Demon Avatar's injuries. However, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a little incredulous. His words actually brought about such an unexpected gain, which surprised Luo Xiu himself. "I had no choice.
"I had no choice. I was tricked by Tian Yangzi. I don't know when that person started suspecting my identity. Later, he joined forces with several experts of the Black Devil Sect to attack me. In order to avoid their attack and escape, although I tore the space apart, the protective formation of your sect can actually confine the surrounding void and disturb the space vortex, causing me to suffer a lot inside. In order to escape, I could only rely on my powerful physical body to rampage around. That's why the Sky Devil Avatar has become like this. Alas, there's nothing I can do about it. If I knew that I would be exposed so quickly, I wouldn't have used my spatial divine ability in front of Dao Lord White Tiger. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time. The Black Devil Sect had besieged the White Tiger Sanctuary. If I didn't send them out first, I wouldn't have been able to escape first. If I had done that, it would have been even more obvious. But I didn't expect that in the end, they would still notice the abnormality!"
However, I still didn't expect that they would be able to detect the Heavenly Demon Avatar's presence. "No matter how excited Luo Xiu was, he could only pretend to be very helpless at this moment.
He had no choice. At this moment, this was the only thing he could do. After all, he had a favor to ask of the person in front of him. More importantly, Luo Xiu understood that snatching the Asura Blood Pool might be a very troublesome matter for him. However, for Tianhua Laozu, it was just a small matter of whether this person wanted to do it or not.
"After hearing what you said, the Old Man understood that you were too careless. Tian Yangzi and the others must have discovered the abnormality early on and made preparations in advance. They didn't have any forewarning when they schemed against you. You're quite capable to leave here alive. Heh heh, the Old Man knows Tian Yangzi's character better than you. He can use all kinds of ruthless means. The fact that you could survive surprised the Old Man. Don't look at the Old Man like that. It's not that the Old Man is looking down on you, but if it's a one-on-one battle, you really won't have an advantage against those people!"
After hearing Luo Xiu's words, Tianhua Laozu chuckled and explained to Luo Xiu with a playful look.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu fell into silence. He understood that the more he spoke, the more likely he would make mistakes. In particular, he knew that he couldn't continue this conversation. After all, with Tianhua Laozu's memory settings, it was impossible for him to have any further understanding of Tian Yangzi and the others.
In order to not expose the existence of the system, Luo Xiu could only pretend to sigh helplessly. At this moment, he couldn't help but rejoice that Tian Yangzi discovered his abnormality and exposed him in advance. If he waited for Tianhua Laozu to make all the preparations and hadn't jumped out from his position as Tianhua Laozu, what terrible things would happen if two Tianhua Laozu appeared at the same time? Just the thought of it made Luo Xiu shiver in fear. Even his back was drenched in sweat.
"Since your Heavenly Demon Avatar is seriously injured, it won't work if it continues like this. Why don't you use the secret technique to seal it first? Do you want Old Man to help you stabilize its injuries?"
Seeing that Luo Xiu didn't respond to his words, Tianhua Laozu didn't mind. At this moment, he also had a smile on his face. He looked at Luo Xiu with a strange gaze and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu became vigilant. He knew that the most critical moment was coming. Obviously, Tianhua Laozu had some thoughts about him. No, it shouldn't be about him, but about his Heavenly Demon Avatar.
But even if he knew, what could he do? There was no other way. At this moment, Luo Xiu also knew that the situation was beyond his control. If he didn't agree, the consequences wouldn't be so optimistic. After all, Tianhua Laozu wasn't easy to deal with. However, he wasn't worried. With the system's help, this matter wouldn't be a problem. Therefore, Luo Xiu hurriedly nodded and agreed to his suggestion.
Tianhua Laozu nodded, then waved his hand. A red light shot out from his hand into the distance. In the next moment, more than ten figures flew towards the two of them. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of Luo Xiu, and an extremely thick spine more than a hundred meters long appeared in front of him. Luo Xiu looked at Tianhua Laozu in front of him with some surprise. He was very puzzled. Why did this person call more than ten people to carry a huge bone over?
It couldn't be that he wanted him to swallow this bone. This thing was so big, and from the intensity of the energy fluctuations, it was obvious that the owner of this spine was extremely powerful. It wasn't an ordinary thing, and for Luo Xiu, it was simply unrealistic to want to digest it. Looking at Tianhua Laozu's smile, it was obviously prepared for his Sky Demon Avatar. For a moment, Luo Xiu couldn't help but look at him with some curiosity and doubt.
"This is the spine of a Taotie. Don't misunderstand, this Taotie is a mature one. This is its spine, and the energy it contains can temporarily suppress the injuries of your Sky Demon Avatar. After you finish absorbing the energy in this bone, I'll help you stabilize the injuries of your Sky Demon Avatar. This way, when we're ready, we can make a trip to the Shura World and see if there's a chance to snatch the Shura Blood Pool. With that thing, we can speed up the recovery of your avatar's injuries!"
Seeing Luo Xiu looking at him with a puzzled expression, Tianhua Laozu couldn't help but smile and explain to him.
However, Luo Xiu became more and more confused. He didn't quite understand why Tianhua Laozu would be so good to him. No, it wasn't that he was so good to him, but that he was so concerned about his Sky Demon Avatar. This made Luo Xiu feel like he was being targeted by a thief. After all, what was the old saying? One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
The spine of a Taotie in front of him was definitely a rare raw material for a secret treasure. As long as it was used and refined a little, it could become a very powerful Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Such a precious thing, Tianhua Laozu gave it up just to stabilize the injuries of his Sky Demon Avatar. Even Luo Xiu himself couldn't believe it. Owing such a big favor for no reason, Luo Xiu himself was a little vigilant.
"Senior, I don't quite understand. Is my Sky Demon Avatar really so important that you don't hesitate to pay a big price? You're even prepared to go to the Shura Blood Pool. Are you sure the relationship between us is so close?"
When Luo Xiu saw that things had come to this point, he no longer hesitated and directly asked the doubts in his heart. This was something that could not be helped. He could not beat around the bush and play dumb with this person, right?
"Don't you understand?
I said that the Old Man has something to ask of you. Since you don't want to be the Old Man's disciple, then it's a transaction between us. I can't let you do things for me without paying any price. Let's not talk about your attitude first. Just the Old Man himself thinks that only by exchanging benefits can our friendship last forever. In order for the Old Man's following matters to be completed safely and steadily, the Old Man doesn't mind paying you some compensation in advance! "Seeing that Luo Xiu was so vigilant, Tianhua Laozu smiled and said lightly.
"Senior, are you kidding?
With your status and strength, are you sure that I can help you?
Actually, you don't have to do this at all. You just need to take control of Xuanming School again. You can find whatever support you need.
Not to mention, with the huge territory of the Xuanming School in the Empire, you can find whatever resources you want. Why are you still hiding like this? Could it be that there's something that's preventing you from taking control of Xuanming School again? That's not right. With your current cultivation, even if you're not at your peak, suppressing those people in Xuanming School shouldn't be a problem. "Luo Xiu's heart was filled with uncertainty as he spoke in shock.
Although he wasn't sure if his guess was right, he still wasn't used to Ancestor Tianhua's way of doing things. His heart was even filled with vigilance.
To him, the old man in front of him was acting like this. It was very abnormal, especially with Tianhua Laozu's status and strength. Both showed that he didn't have any advantage. He was no stranger to him at all. It could even be said that he was very familiar with everything about him. Apart from not knowing about the system in his mind, it could be said that this person knew almost everything about him.
"Kid, do you have some misunderstanding about the Old Man?
Who told you that the Old Man wants to return to Xuanming School? If the Old Man wanted to, he would have done so many years ago. The Old Man couldn't wait to leave the huge whirlpool that is Xuanming School by faking his death. If it weren't for some things, the Old Man would have flown far away long ago. There's no need for him to conceal his identity here for so many years! "
Tianhua Laozu was amused by Luo Xiu's words. He shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Luo Xiu speechlessly. His words were full of mockery. The kind of expression that made Luo Xiu feel somewhat helpless also made him very surprised.
Speaking of which, Luo Xiu had once been the Supreme Elder of the Xuanming Sect for a period of time. He was very clear about how huge this force was. He was even more clear about how much help Patriarch Tianhua could receive with his status and identity. Not to mention cultivation, there were many things that were difficult or almost impossible to accomplish in the eyes of others. However, Patriarch Tianhua could easily resolve them. This was something that even Luo Xiu could not help but sigh at his own inferiority. The fact that the person in front of him acted so indifferently filled Luo Xiu with bewilderment.
"Then I'll listen to you. Senior, why are you doing this?
Don't try to fool me. I was once Tianhua Laozu for a period of time, so I'm very clear about what Xuanming School holds. Although the Xuanming Empire is not important to us cultivators, the power that Xuanming School holds is definitely a huge resource that everyone wants to get their hands on! "
Although Luo Xiu understood in his heart, he still asked. At this moment, he completely believed Tianhua Laozu's words. Although they were not very reliable, Luo Xiu knew that if this person could say so, he could see that he had considered the whole situation.
"In fact, today's Xuanming School can be said to be no longer the original Xuanming School. The original intention of establishing Xuanming School was not to rule the world, but to maintain world peace. Don't laugh!
The Old Man was serious. Although even the Old Man himself didn't believe this reason, the truth of the matter was indeed so. When the Demon Area penetrated into this world, the Xuanming School was still a righteous school, not a half-righteous and half-evil existence like it was now. At that time, the Old Man found that many of the cultivation methods in the school had been tampered with. Once you practiced this kind of cultivation method, you wouldn't be able to change the cultivation method again in the following cultivation. Just like the inheritance you obtained before, this kind of inheritance was extremely strange. To put it bluntly, now the entire Xuanming School, including Tianyangzi, had a great change in temperament. The Old Man almost fell into the trap at that time, but I discovered it early and corrected it in time. Under vigilance, in the following years, I worked hard bit by bit to find the source of the change.
You can't imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time. If I hadn't noticed the change in the situation in advance and made countermeasures in advance, I wouldn't be standing in front of you and talking with you now. That should be what we call the Black Devil Mark now. The moment that person activated the restriction formation, one of my doppelgangers exploded directly. Don't look at me like that. When I noticed the abnormality, I transferred all the damage to my doppelganger. Even so, my spirit was inevitably damaged!
The reason I want to work with you is to help me find a treasure that can heal my Divine Soul injuries. However, the location of the treasure is extremely strange. Only the body of the Heavenly Demon can go deep into it. Therefore, ever since I found out that the people of Xuanming School had obtained a Heavenly Demon body and wanted my doppelganger to possess this Heavenly Demon body, I came here from an unknown distance in order to see if there was a chance to seize this Heavenly Demon body. However, it's a pity that things have gone out of control. So much has happened that I can only choose to work with you now! "Tianhua Laozu said helplessly as he shook his head with a bitter smile.
