Orochi didn’t expect it as the soul master had succumbed to Eric’s plan from the beginning. Not only did it fail to obtain the world’s power, but even itself was also significantly injured. The lightning strike dealt critical damage to the soul.
Orochi urgently needed to swallow something to recover. However, the cherry blossom tree’s root had absorbed everything alive in the Yan Wuyue World, especially around Unripe Rice Village. It was a dignified “calamity snake.” It wouldn’t lower its status and consume the insects in the ground.
But fortunately, the guy with the eternal emperor’s soul unexpectedly appeared near its escape route! How could it let go of this heavenly delicacy!?
Unexpectedly, heaven still opens a path to me, Orochi!
However, Orochi was afraid that Mo Xiaofei’s presence was Eric’s illusion. So, it had been lurking, confirming again and again whether the Mo Xiaofei that appeared in front of it was real. That little doll with the Yin Greedy Wolf seal next to Mo Xiaofei was superb food too. I need to be careful!
Orochi originally planned to observe for more time, but the sudden appearance of Yin Greedy Wolf’s will suddenly disrupt his plan. Is this guy taking food from a tiger’s mouth?
Seeing Yin Greedy Wolf’s will lingering by Zixing’s side, Orochi couldn’t sit still!
Yin Greedy Wolf’s will had to watch out for this purple snake. It knew about the Xiangliu clan, but the injured Xiangliu bloodline in front of it still gave off a dangerous feeling. It was weird that a Xiangliu without a body was still functioning.
As a result, Orochi and Yin Greedy Wolf, who belonged to the loser group, stared at each other in this small cave, wondering how to make a comeback.
“It’s hard to say who will emerge victorious if we fight. But, we can be certain that the remaining one will suffer irreversible damage.” Orochi still spoke first.
“The bloodline of Xiangliu clan, what do you propose?” Yin Greedy Wolf would not relax his guard on this purple snake at all.
“I want the man. You can have the woman.” Orochi stuck out his tongue. “We mind our own business!”
“Sure.” Yin Greedy Wolf agreed immediately without thinking.
Neither of them in the loser league took a move after the discussion; they just stared at each other. They did not take the things that had just been discussed into their hearts.
These two were both treacherous and cunning sly foxes. How could they easily trust each other? But they also understood that the longer they drag on, the more disadvantaged they would be.
This time it was Yin Greedy Wolf’s will to speak first, “The blood of the Xiangliu clan, how about we make the soul vow? Do not assault each other and help each other!”
The soul vow was something that soul master Orochi would not dare easily vow. But conversely, this kind of vow was more substantial than the trust between blood relatives and even husbands and wives. It would be permanent cooperation.
Orochi couldn’t help but think: I’m a spent force. Yin Greedy Wolf doesn’t know my condition, so it is reluctant to act impulsively. Once Yin Greedy Wolf discovers this, I will be overwhelmed. Why not make this vow? Yin Greedy Wolf is mighty. Allying with it is not putting me at a lower status. Besides, under the constraints of the oath, even if it is unwilling, it will do its best to help me restore my power. At that time, I can sit back and enjoy the harvest. Isn’t it awesome?
Yin Greedy Wolf’s will couldn’t help but think: I have separated my will and Yin Greedy Wolf’s power, and now only my will is exposed. Although my spiritual qi has not changed, it is essentially empty. This Xiangliu clan’s bloodline is only afraid of the legend of Yin Greedy Wolf and dare not act rashly. Once the Xiangliu clan’s bloodline discovers it, I will become its prey. This hard-earned freedom will only be an illusory bubble. If it is willing to make this vow, it’s not wrong with its qualifications as the Xiangliu clan. This alliance is naturally acceptable. Besides, under the constraints of the vow, even if it finds out about my current situation and has vile intentions, it has to weigh it carefully. It may even be forced to help me retrieve Yin Greedy Wolf’s power. I get to sit still and enjoy the fruits. Isn’t that a blissful matter?
“Alright,” said Orochi in displeasure. It thought for a moment but pretended to have struggled in making the decision.
“Let’s start then.” Yin Greedy Wolf’s will pretended to be forced into the situation.
These two sly foxes were naturally incomparable to the rookie novices in the demon beast circle. They knew the basics of soul vows. They immediately activated the vow with explicit knowledge of whether the opposing party attempted to cheat in the situation.
“I, as the Xiangliu clan’s Orochi…”
“I, as the Yin Greedy Wolf’s Alioth star…”
When the light of the oath shone on the purple snake and the shadows simultaneously, they smiled in their hearts secretly at the same time.
“So, Brother Orochi, are you helping me? What’s the matter? You actually!”
“Brother Alioth, do you think you should? You cheated on me!”
The two spoke almost at the same time.
The vow took effect. They could sense each other’s state. At this time, their hearts were twitching, as if they were trampled by a wild boar herd stained with cow dung on the feet. Hence, the pair which made the vow stared at each other again, no different from the beginning.
Almost in an instant, Orochi and Yin Greedy Wolf’s will figured out the situation. They couldn’t help but hold hatred in their hearts. But after all, they were both seniors with shrewd minds. They both did not show their joy nor anger. Besides, the vow was established. They could not hurt each other.
“Brother Alioth, let’s enjoy our prey.” Orochi thought for a while. He had no fear of the Yin Greedy Wolf. It was better if they move on to the meal. Through the spiritual qi emitted in the vow, Orochi was confident that the reality was not Eric’s illusion.
“Good.” Yin Greedy Wolf also agreed and returned to Zixing again.
But at this moment, the inside of the cave shook suddenly! The soil cracked in an instant, and the thick tree roots emerged at this instant. It directly entangled Mo Xiaofei and Zixing and pulled them in!
Orochi and Yin Greedy Wolf’s will was unfazed with many incidents, but they could not help but be dumbfounded. Their hearts were once again stepped on by a wild boar herd stained with cow dung on the feet!
These tree roots were untouchable in their current state! A slight contact would make them perish!
It was worse than just being untouchable; they got to flee after encountering the tree roots!
“Brother Alioth, take me. I can’t run!”
“Brother Orochi, I’m not in good shape. Why do you strap around my waist!?”
…
Izanami couldn’t help but find a sense of security after returning to Yahiro-dono. The decayed body stayed behind the curtain of the main hall at this time.
Izanami felt the changes in world power. In Yan Wuyue, a terrifying thing was being born. It not only divided half of the world power but also unscrupulously provoked her.
Above the main hall of Yahiro-dono, the cherry blossoms started descending from the sky. In just a while, the cherry blossom petals had spread all around. Above the sea of flowers, the demon beast Miki, wearing a white kimono, approached step by step.
Below the Pillar of Heaven, the rhizomes of the cherry blossom tree were now overgrowing. It entangled the Pillar of Heaven in circles, seemingly reaching the top of the Yahiro-dono.
“You have successfully got part of Yan Wuyue. Why are you still not satisfied? Must we get into a life and death situation!” Izanami’s stern voice sounded from behind the curtain.
“Actually, that’s still not enough. I haven’t swallowed you. Yan Wuyue is not thoroughly mine!” Miki’s face was cold, “After all, this Yan Wuyue was just an illusion you wove for yourself. You fantasized Izanagi didn’t abandon you because of your ugly face and wanted to revert everything. If so, then enter my body. I can also give you the same dream and make you never wake up!”
“I have an agreement with Eric. You can’t do that!” Izanami tore open the curtain. Her body was overflowing with the vicious underworld water, decaying everything in Yahiro-dono.
“Then you should know that this kind of verbal agreement has no binding power on me at all.”
Izanami’s original ugly appearance became even more ugly now. Indeed, this verbal agreement itself had no binding power, “Do you think that you can defeat me with this subpar power? In addition to world power, I’m the supreme creator of the Yan Wuyue world. How can you fight against my divine power!?”
“Really? Relying on the population’s faith is terrifying. When Yan Wuyue’s people are in awe of you, you do have powerful divine power. But not now…” Miki sneered, “Izanami, can you still extract the divine power of faith? Under my nightmare, what they believe in now is… me!”
“You!”
A thunder fell from the sky and struck Yahiro-dono. The top of the entire hall exploded in an instant. Under the thunder’s destructive force, Izanami’s flesh boiled and squirmed. A desolate cry sounded on Yahiro-dono.
“In ancient times, there’s a kind of demon beast bloodline celestial fox in Divine Land. It is especially effective against gods relying on faith and incense prayers.” Miki unscrupulously walked to Izanami’s side and stretched out her hand towards Izanami. Her claws grabbed toward Izanami’s heart.
Under the thunderstrike, Izanami’s body became numb, and her soul trembled. She had lost all sense of direction, but that didn’t stop her from sensing the approaching danger instinctively.
At this moment, Izanami made a crazy move like a madwoman who was forced into a desperate situation, “I would rather detonate the Yan Wuyue world. You would never get to consume me!”
Boom… Starting from Yahiro-dono, the Yan Wuyue world trembled. This place was the center of the Yan Wuyue World Fragment, where everything originated. If space began to shatter from here, it would spread crazily throughout the entire world!
Miki’s expression became more serious, but she was not intimidated to give up.
There came her solemn voice, “If you want to break this world, then I will integrate it again!”
The fragmented space stopped abruptly at this time. Threads generated in the air, grasping these space fragments. Spots, which began to shatter, were glued together!
Izanami’s face was filled with despair.
…
“It’s like swallowing each other between single-celled organisms.” Looking up at the sky of Yan Wuyue, Boss Luo looked bored, “At the beginning of the world, no creatures with intelligence have been born yet. The cells acted instinctively, consuming the other cell to become stronger. Slowly but surely, the cells reach the point of achieving intelligence. Gods are similar too. There is competition among the weaks, competition among the mediocre, and competition among the elites. After all, the gods consume each other to achieve evolution.”
After listening to the boss, Dazhe felt that there was something wrong with the truth. But after thinking about it, he couldn’t tell what was wrong. The only thing that felt a little awkward was that the boss compared gods to single-celled creatures.
He wrote down this argument. Probably he would figure out more about it in the future. Joining the club, a world far beyond the limit of his imagination, revealed the tip of the iceberg in front of him.
“Boss, isn’t she dead? How do we let her inspect the goods?”
The place where Boss Luo finally stopped was under the cherry tree. It was just that the young witch’s corpse had already become cold.
The surrounding tree roots entangled the corpse and then lifted it. It resembled a tree mound, supporting the young witch’s dead body.
Luo Qiu said at this time, “If she can’t inspect the goods, we can let the other her do it.”
“Another her…” Dazhe was taken aback, then looked at the trembling Yan Wuyue world thoughtfully, “Miki?”
Boss Luo nodded and suddenly said, “But before that, there is still another business deal to do.”
As he said, the boss smiled suddenly, then looked at the maid, “Let’s go and see what our customer needs.”
This was a business opportunity where the maid found. The customer was naturally Izanami.
The boss had his hobbies and would do some small business. In the maid’s view, since this was his master’s hobby, it must be done. Nevertheless, a more substantial income source still mattered to the club.
Luo Qiu was fine with the situation. On the other hand, the maid would seek a more substantial income on the premise that her actions could satisfy the master.
“This kind of ‘rescue’ service is one of the most profitable projects.”
So the maid smiled slightly, then tore the space apart. She then left temporarily from Boss Luo’s side. The reason for not bringing Dazhe along this time was that he was inadequate for it. Even if he had some training previously, it was still a far cry.
As for why the so-called “rescue” service was one of the most profitable projects, she would not consume the power coming from the altar when she was already quite capable in the first place.
That was why the club decided to have a Black Soul Messenger like Dazhe, inclined toward combat. That was a need to tackle this kind of situation.
