"Don't be nervous. If the Holy Son had any ill intentions, you would have been shattered into pieces just like the shadow demons on the ground."
The woman said, took three steps forward to greet him, and saluted respectfully.
"Xie Yuyuan thanks the Holy Son for rescuing us. If it hadn't been for the Holy Son's righteous action just now, the twenty or so people on our trip would have died here."
The woman looked grateful and her voice was sincere.
"The Xie family? Are you from the Xie family of Shenlan?" Li Kezhou asked in confusion.
"Exactly! I had a chance encounter with the Holy Son. I was one of the people who witnessed the sword discussion among the four Holy Sons at Lengyan Lake. I was fortunate enough to witness your incredible swordsmanship."
"Young master, I have saved my life. Yuyuan will never forget this great kindness. When I get out of the devil's prison, I must give you a generous gift and go to the Sword Academy to express my gratitude in person."
Li Kezhou was noncommittal.
When he heard that the woman was from the Xie family, he suddenly understood why this group of people had such profound knowledge that they were able to dispatch more than twenty Yuantai Daxiu cultivators to come here.
Although the Xie family is not as strong as the Lu family and the Long family, it is still a thousand-year-old family with a profound foundation and has a certain say in Shenlan.
And as far as he knew, this family once had a swordsman, and the swordsmanship was also extremely prosperous. This can be seen from the great achievement of the woman in front of him who broke through the Yuan Fei at such a young age.
"No need to thank you. I also passed by this place and saw you in trouble. Since you and I are both human beings, it would be hard to see you being driven away and killed by a monster."
The whiteness on the woman's face receded, and there was a touch of rosy. Admiration flashed in her eyes: "Young Master is worthy of being the Holy Son of the Sword Academy. This chivalry alone makes you worthy of this name."
She said as she glanced at the monster's broken corpse on the ground.
To be precise, he looked at the storage ring in the broken corpse's hand and the green-edged sword held in the severed hand.
"Why are you standing there, not taking the spoils for the Holy Son?"
I immediately took action.
This man was also cautious and picked up the ring and sword with his sword. After wiping them clean, he handed them over respectfully with both hands.
Li Kezhou naturally would not refuse. He killed the monsters, and these things should naturally belong to him.
And the most important thing is that the origin of this monster is not simple. It is probably a member of the Realm of the Gods and the Destroying Gods. They were corrupted by the demonic energy and turned into a monster.
The collection of a former master of the God Clan must not be too shabby.
Not to mention the treasures in the ring, this green blade is obviously a ninth-grade sword, and it is also the highest grade among them. It is only one step away from the sword spirit level.
His mind entered the ring.
There are hundreds of cubic spaces in it, and they are filled to the brim with countless rare treasures. They were obviously obtained by killing people, stealing goods, or plundering secret places during their lifetime.
(No wonder people still flock to the Demon Realm after a narrow escape from death. I just killed one monster and got such a massive treasure. This is like getting rich overnight.)
He secretly marveled in his heart, and then put it away calmly.
The woman observed the words and asked: "Is the Holy Son planning to go to the depths of the stone wasteland?"
Li Kezhou nodded casually and didn't say much.
"Then the Holy Son must be very careful. If I am not wrong, the Holy Son has an extraordinary status and must be planning to go to some secret realm. But with all due respect, in any secret realm, the demonic energy must be strong, which is often dozens of times stronger than outside.
, even hundreds of times.”
"If you don't have some special means, or if you use magic-proof treasures to protect your body, once you enter it, you will be instantly eroded by the evil energy and become a monster."
Li Kezhou listened to the woman's talk and knew that this person must have another purpose.
Sure enough, the woman said again: "Don't get me wrong, Holy Son. It's not that I underestimate the Holy Son's methods, but because this demonic energy is really too evil."
"Ten years ago, Long Mu, who was recognized as the best master in the world of Yuantai, held the Demon-Sealing Pearl in his hand, but he was buried in it in the end. You must know that the Demon-Sealing Pearl is a higher-level exorcism treasure than the Demon-Bearing Pearl.
But in the end, it still failed to resist the erosion of the evil spirit."
(Long Mu?)
Li Kezhou's heart moved.
Hearing this name, he knew that he must be from the Long family, and ten years ago there was only one genius who was number one. Not surprisingly, this person was the person he was looking for on this trip, and the dragon talisman was on this person.
But as expected, this person has lost his mind and turned into a monster.
Hearing the woman's words, Li Kezhou's heart sank secretly.
Because when he came in this time, the exorcism object he held in his hand was the Demon-Sealing Bead obtained from the Guild Alliance.
According to what he said from the Evil Spirit of Consciousness Sea, if you don't practice the Sword Demon Sutra, if you want to block the demonic energy, the Demon Sealing Pearl is somewhat useful.
But now, after hearing what the woman said, the magic-sealing beads were not enough to protect himself, he lost his confidence.
The woman added: "The Holy Son is chivalrous and has saved me from danger this time. I have an opportunity and I plan to share it with you, the Holy Son."
Li Kezhou's thoughts turned out to be true.
This woman said that demonic energy was extremely dangerous, and she did not hesitate to use Long Mu as an example. There must be consequences, and the facts were indeed not beyond his expectations.
"Opportunity? Why don't you tell me!"
Li Kezhou was somewhat curious as to what the woman was going to say.
Xie Yuyuan said: "To be honest with you, Holy Son, not long ago, I, the Xie family, received advice from the Guigu Hidden Dragon Credit Sword Master and learned how to refine the legendary [Demon Plunder Pearl]."
Li Kezhou's expression changed slightly when he heard the words "credit sword man".
This reminded him again of those dreamy eyes and the prophecy of his death by the owner of those eyes.
"The Demon-Plundering Pearl, as the name suggests, is a kind of orb that can plunder demonic energy. If you have this object in your hand, even if you are in a place with the strongest demonic energy, you will not be corroded at all."
"Is there such a thing in the world?" Li Kezhou asked in surprise.
Because neither Immortal Zi Ji nor the evil spirit known as the Heaven-killing Sword Demon had ever mentioned to him the matter of the [Demon Plundering Bead].
They are standing in the same boat. If he dies, the two of them will disappear together because they are in the sea of consciousness, so it is almost impossible to deliberately conceal it.
"Regarding the magic-plundering bead, my Xie family didn't know the existence of this thing before. Even the name was learned from the mouth of the person who borrowed the sword. However, since it is said by a person of this lineage, then it will never be
There is something wrong."
Li Kezhou nodded slightly: "So, do you know how to refine this thing?"
"That's right! I have an ancient river map in my hand. As long as I put in the corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, I can refine the magic-plundering bead. My Xie family has been using it for a year, and I have almost collected the materials. I still have the last one left. As long as I find it,
If you throw it into it, the magic beads will turn into three. I will only take one and use the other two to repay the Holy Son for saving his life just now."
The woman's words made Li Kezhou fall into deep thought.
It's not that he has never heard of the Ancient River Map, but this kind of thing is only limited to legends. Because it is too precious and rare, it is not preserved even in the alliance.
This kind of treasure is, to be precise, a refining diagram that can be used to refine a specific thing. As long as the required spiritual materials are put into it, the refined thing can be born in three seconds.
