160: Heart Demon Oath

“Unless, unless you can give me a thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo.”

Liu Wanyi knew that entering Cloud Mist Mountain was not easy, so she simply stated her condition.

She knew that Lin Xuanbo's Lifebound Treasure, the Qingming Sword, was made of Nether Spirit Bamboo, so she guessed that the Lin Family most likely cultivated this spiritual plant.

At this, Lin Xuanbo looked towards Lin Yongmao.

Lin Yongmao pondered for a moment, then said, “This Junior indeed has a thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo, but this bamboo is extremely precious, and this Junior was planning to use it to refine his Lifebound Treasure when he forms his Golden Core.”

Liu Wanyi said in a hoarse voice, “If you don’t hand it over, this Senior will ensure you never reach the Golden Core Stage in your life.”

Threatened by the Black-Robed Figure, Lin Yongmao feigned a change in expression and said, “Senior, if you make a Heart Demon Dao Vow to never infringe upon the Lin Family, I am willing to offer the thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo.”

Liu Wanyi felt that this transaction was not a loss; it was essentially her getting something for nothing.

Although she didn’t obtain a Qi Luck Spirit Beast, the thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo was also a resource she needed.

With this thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo, she could re-refine her Lifebound Treasure, the Myriad Souls Banner, replacing its pole with the thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo, which would undoubtedly elevate the Myriad Souls Banner's quality to a new level.

“Good!”

Liu Wanyi bit her finger, and a perfectly round drop of essence blood flew out. She continuously cast incantations, and the essence blood drew a divine pattern.

This was precisely the process of making a Dao Vow!

A Heart Demon Dao Vow requires essence blood as a guide to communicate with the Heavenly Dao. If the vow is broken, one will suffer punishment from the Heavenly Dao, be plagued by Heart Demons daily, and their cultivation will struggle to advance.

Essence blood, at the Golden Core Realm, was no longer a rare commodity.

“I hereby vow that if the Lin Family members do not offend me, I will never harm any Lin Family member.”

Liu Wanyi's vow was very conservative; she was playing it safe. She wouldn't harm the Lin Family members, but the premise was that the Lin Family members had no intention of harming her.

Lin Yongmao said, “Senior, please wait a moment, I will go fetch the thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo now.”

After speaking, Lin Yongmao flew on his Magic Treasure towards Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

He also had Nether Spirit Bamboo in his Storage Pouch, so he could have retrieved it without going to Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, but he still felt it was safer to be cautious to avoid revealing any flaws.

Several tens of minutes later, Lin Yongmao had returned to Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

Lin Yongmiao ran over, holding a well-behaved Moon Toad Rabbit in her arms. She was very worried and said in a childish voice, “Brother, are you okay?”

Lin Yongmao smiled and shook his head, “You stay here, don’t go anywhere.”

The Moon Toad Rabbit chirped, “Brother, are you okay?”

Lin Yongmao glared at the Black Slave in annoyance, snatched the Black Slave, and gave its head two hard taps, “It’s all because of you, otherwise this misfortune wouldn’t have happened.”

Moon Toad Rabbit: “?????”

Lin Yongmao put the Moon Toad Rabbit down and then walked to the place where the Nether Spirit Bamboo was cultivated.

Numerous bamboo plants grew there, forming a large bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was divided into two areas: one grew green bamboo, which was qingling bamboo; the other grew purplish-black bamboo, which was Nether Spirit Bamboo.

Bamboo shoots, tender bamboo, hundred-year spirit bamboo, thousand-year spirit bamboo… all were present here.

The number was countless. Lin Yongmao conservatively estimated that these bamboo plants could be refined into hundreds of Lifebound Treasures.

Just now, Lin Yongmao had also played it safe, deliberately saying there was only one thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo here.

So, Lin Yongmao chose one of the Nether Spirit Bamboo plants that was just a thousand years old, dug it out, and severed its roots, making it impossible for it to reproduce.

“Alright, this is it.”

Seeing Lin Yongmiao approach with the Moon Toad Rabbit, Lin Yongmao stroked her head and said, “Brother still has to go out for a bit. You stay here and don’t go anywhere.”

“Okay, Brother!”

Lin Yongmao flew on his Magic Treasure, rapidly heading towards the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.

Returning to the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain, he saw Lin Xuanbo and the Black-Robed Figure, Liu Wanyi, still in a standoff.

However, the initial tension between them had dissipated.

Seeing Lin Yongmao arrive, both their expressions relaxed considerably.

Lin Yongmao didn't waste any more words and directly threw a thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo outside the Formation, simultaneously shouting loudly:

“Senior, catch!”

Liu Wanyi’s left hand moved slightly, and true essence formed a vortex, sweeping the entire spiritual plant to her front.

“Indeed, it is a thousand-year Nether Spirit Bamboo.” After saying that, she put it into her Storage Pouch.

This trip was not in vain.

Just as Lin Yongmao and Lin Xuanbo thought the Black-Robed Figure would leave immediately, Liu Wanyi flew directly to Luo Wei’s corpse.

With a wave of her Myriad Souls Banner, a tremendous suction force emanated from it, drawing out Luo Wei’s soul.

“This…”

The experienced Lin Xuanbo had forgotten about this detail.

Liu Wanyi smiled triumphantly, “This can be considered a small compensation.”

She casually took Luo Wei’s Storage Pouch as well.

Lin Xuanbo and Lin Yongmao were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

They had painstakingly killed Luo Wei, only for Liu Wanyi to ultimately benefit.

Fortunately, Sect Leader Yuan Wang of the Qinglan Sect ultimately died within the Formation, and his Storage Pouch was not taken by Liu Wanyi.

“Farewell, may we never meet again!”

By the time the hoarse voice reached Lin Yongmao and Lin Xuanbo’s ears, the black-robed figure had already vanished without a trace.

Lin Yongmao let out a sigh of relief, finally having sent away this plague god.

He thought bitterly, if he ever encountered this female Devil Head again, he would definitely grind her to dust.

“Now is a good opportunity…” Lin Xuanbo muttered in a low voice.

While Lin Yongmao was still holding his small notebook to remember grudges, Lin Xuanbo was thinking more profoundly.

“What good opportunity?” Lin Yongmao asked curiously.

“The Qinglan Sect is a piece of fatty meat right now. Gather the Family's Foundation Establishment disciples, we must go quickly.”

Lin Yuheng stood by, awaiting orders, and quickly said, “Good!”

The Lin FamilyA group of people headed towards the Qinglan Sect. Now was the time to “repay grievances with grievances, and vengeance with vengeance.”

Thinking of the Qinglan Sect's past bullying, and now being able to avenge themselves, the Lin Family members were incredibly excited.

The Lin Family headed towards the Qinglan Sect.

Lin Xuanbo, Lin Yuheng, Lin Yucheng, Lin Yumo, Lin Jing, Lin Yubai.

Lin Yongmao was also among them.

A total of seven people, all flying on their Magic Treasures, advanced towards the Qinglan Sect.

Only Lin Yubai and Han Yuying were left to guard the Family.

Lin Yubai was because his injuries had not fully healed, and Han Yuying was because she was pregnant.

Lin Xuanbo, leading the group, stood proudly on the Qingming Sword, flying amidst the clouds, like a banished immortal.

Lin Yongmao also felt a sense of exhilaration; now they could finally destroy the Qinglan Sect and resolve a major concern.

Both Golden Core Cultivators of the Qinglan Sect had already perished, so it would not be difficult for their team to completely crush the Qinglan Sect.

In less than an hour, they arrived at Qingyun Peak, where the Qinglan Sect was located.
