Chapter 1124: Chapter 1121 Instructions Chapter 1124: Chapter 1121 Instructions (Third Update)

“Since Friend Wu does not have absolute confidence, let me, Shen Luo, accompany you on a trip to the Divine Wood Forest. No matter how difficult, I will help you retrieve the Earth Mother's Essence,” Shen Luo came over and said.

The Jieyin Daoist frowned upon hearing this and did not speak.

“Could Your Excellency be Shen Luo?” Wu Man'er took a good look at Shen Luo and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

“Friend Wu recognizes me?” Shen Luo asked, somewhat astonished.

“I have seen the recordings of the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference. With Friend Shen's profound strength, having your assistance will certainly increase our chances of obtaining the Earth Mother's Essence,” Wu Man'er said happily.

“Add me to the group as well. The more people, the greater the strength. The three of us working together will surely retrieve the Earth Mother's Essence smoothly,” Jiang Shentian who was nearby also came over.

“Jiang Daoist friend has already reached the True Immortal Stage. With you here, the help would naturally be immense,” Wu Man'er said joyously.

“Jiang Daoist friend may go, but you, Shen Luo, cannot!” Qin Shan couldn't hold back any longer and objected.

“Why not?” Jiang Shentian asked, his face showing surprise.

He didn't have a bad impression of Shen Luo and was quite eager to use this opportunity to make a friend.

“Shen Luo, you are now under suspicion. Who knows if you are planning to use this as a chance to escape?” Qin Shan demanded.

“Suspicion? What suspicion?” Jiang Shentian inquired.

Qin Shan did not hide anything and explained all the suspicions about Shen Luo stealing the fruit.

Hearing all this, Jiang Shentian fell silent and thoughtful.

“I have already taken a Heart Demon Oath; I am not the perpetrator of this incident. If Elder Jieyin is still not at ease, you can place a prohibition on me. I will not resist! I have no other intentions in this journey but to quickly revive the Ginseng fruit tree,” Shen Luo said earnestly, with an open and honest demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the Jieyin Daoist was quite surprised in his heart.

Shen Luo's declaration made it seem unlikely that he was the one who had stolen the fruit and damaged the tree.

“There are many doubts about this matter, but since Friend Shen has sworn by his Heart Demon, it probably wasn't him. Perhaps Elder Jieyin should give him a chance. On this trip, I, Jiang, vouch for him. If Friend Shen flees during this period, I will take full responsibility,” Jiang Shentian, moved by Shen Luo's emotion, spoke heatedly, patting his chest.

“The Demonic Poison within the Ginseng fruit tree is extremely fierce, something non-Demon Clan members would hardly be able to concoct. Friend Shen has a pure aura and is clearly not a demon cultivator,” Wu Man'er glanced at the others and added her opinion.

“Since both Jiang Daoist friend and Friend Wu speak so, very well. I'll trouble you, Brother Shen, to undertake this task. However, I must place the Blood Oath Curse on you. If you manage to successfully retrieve the Earth Mother's Essence and revive the Ginseng fruit tree, the previous matters will be written off,” said the Jieyin Daoist after pondering for a moment.

“Elder Jieyin, this is not appropriate…” Qin Shan protested anxiously.

“Shut up! I will handle this matter; you may leave now!” The Jieyin Daoist shot him a stern look and commanded coldly.

“Understood.” Qin Shan left with a resentful face, unwillingly stepping down.

“Thank you, Elder Jieyin. I will give it my all,” Shen Luo bowed to the Jieyin Daoist and said earnestly.

The Jieyin Daoist nodded his head, then cut his finger and waved it in the air, sending a stream of fresh blood flying out, hovering in mid-air.

He formed hand seals and began reciting spells. The fresh blood in the air quickly transformed, soon solidifying into a complex blood-red pattern.

“Go!” With a point of his hand seals, the blood-red pattern shot swiftly into Shen Luo's forehead, quickly merging into it completely.

Shen Luo's brow displayed a mysterious blood-red pattern, which flickered twice before fading away.

“Alright,” Jieyin Daoist said.

Shen Luo nodded and, without inquiring about the specifics of the blood-red prohibition placed by Jieyin Daoist, discussed with Wu Man'er and Jiang Shentian the matter of going to the Divine Wood Forest.

The three of them soon took to the air and shot towards the outside of Wuzhuang View, disappearing into the distant mid-air in the blink of an eye.

“Elder Jieyin, allowing Shen Luo to take such a great risk is indeed concerning. Why did you agree to this?” Li He walked over to Jieyin Daoist and asked.

“Based on Shen Luo's encounter with the two of you, it's evident that his strength is exceptionally powerful. No one below the True Immortal Stage in our view can match him, and almost all of our elders above the True Immortal Stage, except for myself, are not present within Wuzhuang. The few who are here are encumbered with important duties and cannot leave. If Shen Luo is willing to make an effort, it would indeed be of great help in retrieving the Earth Mother's Essence. Moreover, I have already placed the Blood Oath Curse in his body, making it impossible for him to escape,” Jieyin Daoist explained.

“So that's how it is,” Li He said, nodding in realization.

“You need not concern yourselves with this matter. Open all the prohibitions around the Ginseng fruit tree. Before their return, you must protect the tree and prevent it from suffering any damage!” Jieyin Daoist waved his hand and instructed.

Li He and the others hurriedly agreed and busied themselves around the courtyard.

Jieyin Daoist stood to one side, looking at his left hand, which wore a white jade ring with a faint white light flickering inside.

This item was a communication treasure he used to contact Zhenyuanzi. Just recently, Zhenyuanzi had sent a message instructing him to send Shen Luo to the Divine Wood Forest, which was the main reason for his change of mind.

“Considering Zhenyuanzi's attitude, it seems he doesn't harbor any suspicions towards Shen Luo and even has a certain degree of trust in him. Could it be that the person who stole the fruits and damaged the tree really isn't him?” Jieyin Daoist muttered to himself.

Half a month later.

In a dense, pristine forest, three figures were speeding through.

“Miss Man'er, why don't we just fly straight there. Why descend on War God Mountain and walk the rest of the way?” A valiant teenager wearing golden armor spoke up.

The woman in the lead, wearing an aqua blue dress, whose silver ornaments jingled like bells, stopped and turned around.

The one who spoke was Jiang Shentian, and the one he was addressing was Wu Man'er.

“We're nearly there… It's just that, Big Brother Jiang, Big Brother Shen, our Divine Wood Clan has always been isolated from the world and seldom interacts with outsiders, so the clan members are somewhat xenophobic. Perhaps it would be better for you to camp here while I steal… retrieve the Earth Mother's Essence, and then return with you. How does that sound?” Wu Man'er said hesitantly, with a slight frown.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo recalled his previous visit to Daughter Village with Bai Xiaotian. He certainly didn't want to create any further complications and immediately agreed.

“If that's the case, we will wait here for you,” he said.

“Miss Man'er, please don't take offense, but the matter of the Ginseng fruit tree is rather pressing. I must ask you for a time frame. When can you retrieve the Earth Mother's Essence and return?” Jiang Shentian asked hesitantly after a moment.

Wu Man'er looked troubled, biting her lip for a long time, as if there was something she found difficult to express.

“I'm sorry, that was presumptuous of me,” Jiang Shentian quickly apologized, sensing her hesitation.

“Sigh, truth be told, I sneaked out behind the Clan Leader's and the elders' backs this time. If I'm caught when I return, I'll likely be punished to confine myself in the Divine Wood House for reflection,” Wu Man'er said with a sigh.

“In that case, we should accompany you back to explain the situation clearly. If you are confined, we can at least take the Earth Mother's Essence back to Wuzhuang,” Jiang Shentian suggested after some thought.

Hearing this, Shen Luo helplessly rubbed his forehead, inwardly lamenting that this guy was really too straightforward.

Wu Man'er had mentioned that the Divine Wood Clan was isolated and rarely interacted with outsiders, and she wanted them to stay here, obviously because it would be inconvenient to bring them back. Otherwise, why go through such trouble?
