144: It was him?

"Oh?" Chu Yuan looked at Purple Rhyme with interest and chuckled, "Tell me your thoughts."

Purple Rhyme respectfully said, "Master, although Black Eagle Demon God and Ghost Granny have submitted to you, the ghost and demon races have deep foundations and many strong experts."

"Currently, our understanding of the specific situation of the two races is not deep enough. If we act rashly, one wrong move could easily cause trouble."

"Continue!" Chu Yuan stroked his chin, signaling.

Purple Rhyme chose her words carefully and continued, "Operating within this Jade Void Secret Realm is the best choice right now, but there is one thing we need to be mindful of."

Bai Zhi glanced at her with interest and casually asked, "Mindful of what?"

Purple Rhyme said solemnly, "If the target cannot be absolutely Sealed, Master should not casually make a move and expose his abilities."

"Furthermore, if the people Master controls cannot be absolutely guaranteed not to speak carelessly, they cannot be allowed to act alone."

Chu Yuan nodded slightly in agreement, patted her shoulder, and laughed, "That's very good. I was actually thinking the same thing."

Hearing this, Purple Rhyme lowered her head shyly, "Master, Purple Rhyme has made a fool of herself!"

"No, you spoke very well!" Chu Yuan praised with a smile. Purple Rhyme was thinking for him, and what she said was flawless.

Little Bai nodded thoughtfully and praised, "What you said is indeed good. In this world of Cultivators where deceit is rampant, caution is key, and being careful is never wrong."

The corners of Purple Rhyme's mouth curved up slightly, seemingly happy to have gained their approval.

Chu Yuan sent a message to Black Eagle and the other, explaining some points of caution to them.

The two were secretly startled, amazed that Chu Yuan's plans were so vast, but they quickly agreed.

Now that they were enslaved by Chu Yuan, only if Chu Yuan fared well would they perhaps fare well too.

If Chu Yuan didn't fare well, both of them would suffer, so naturally, they would strictly comply.

They even added some of their own small ideas, which received Chu Yuan's approval.

For example, unless there was a special need, they would only target Ghost Gods and Demon Gods.

Afterward, they would let God Realm experts enslave Venerable Realm experts, reducing the pressure and exposure of Chu Yuan's enslavement.

Another example was that no matter how many God Realm experts Chu Yuan enslaved, everything would proceed as usual after they left.

These Ghost Gods and Demon Gods would temporarily hide in the dark, responsible for helping Chu Yuan gather information and resources.

As for Chu Yuan's safety, Bai Zhi, who was already operating openly, would be responsible.

When the time was right, or if absolutely forced, the other God Realm experts would slowly reveal themselves.

There was also one point: Gui Yuling said that the Ghost Race of the Myriad Ghost Cave assumed Purple Rhyme was dead.

Also, many people in Yuheng Divine Continent recognized Purple Rhyme, so she was advised to show herself as little as possible.

Besides these three points, there were many others, showing that the two were truly dedicated.

On the other side, the God Realm experts of the ghost and demon races suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, as if something was staring at them.

But thinking that this was the Jade Void Secret Realm, they didn't dwell on it, merely becoming a little more cautious.

They did not know that from this moment on, the fate of the two races had already begun to change.

In the blink of an eye, a month quietly passed.

With the three great God Realm experts watching out for each other as they moved forward, Chu Yuan and the others did not encounter any major danger.

Obstacles they encountered were often easily resolved, and they also harvested some treasures.

Of course, the grade of these treasures was not very high; they were not eye-catching, but better than nothing.

The only good thing was that a few days ago, Black Eagle coincidentally encountered a Demon God.

Named Crimson Moon Demon God!

It was said that his true form was the Crimson Moon Golden Wolf, the only Demon God Old Ancestor of the Crimson Moon Golden Wolf Race.

Under clever planning, the Crimson Moon Demon God was easily subdued and is now following Black Eagle.

This day, Chu Yuan and Little Bai had just arrived outside a valley when Little Bai suddenly became vigilant.

She whispered, "Be careful, there might be danger ahead."

Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed, his aura completely restrained. Little Bai took him and escaped into the Void Realm.

The two stealthily moved forward and soon arrived at the depths of the valley.

At this moment, they saw a massive Flood Dragon Vicious Beast coiled there, its aura faintly discernible.

"An Eighth-Tier Peak Vicious Beast! There is likely a good treasure here!"

Bai Zhi whispered, quickly scanning the valley. Her gaze soon fixed on a certain spot.

"Ninth-Grade Spirit Medicine!"

Chu Yuan followed her gaze and quickly spotted the Spirit Medicine.

It was a blood-red blade of grass, emitting a profound aura, and faint, weak Dragon roars could be heard coming from it.

"dragon blood grass!"

A weak exclamation sounded. Chu Yuan looked up in surprise, his gaze directed toward the source of the sound.

In that direction, a Man in Black wearing a black mask appeared.

The man glanced around. After his Divine Thought confirmed there were no issues, his gaze fixed hotly on the dragon blood grass.

"This person looks a little familiar!" Chu Yuan muttered to himself, but he couldn't immediately recall where he had seen him.

He raised his hand and gently pressed down on Little Bai, transmitting his voice, "Little Bai, don't act rashly yet. Let him exhaust the Vicious Beast's strength; we will be the oriole behind the mantis."

Little Bai nodded, took Chu Yuan, retreated slightly, and concealed themselves high in the sky.

Over there, the Flood Dragon Vicious Beast also noticed the Man in Black's presence because of his low exclamation.

"Roar!" It let out a low growl, its gaze fiercely directed at the Man in Black, seemingly warning him to leave.

This scene slightly surprised Chu Yuan. A Vicious Beast, always known for its bloodlust and brutality, didn't actively attack?

Under these circumstances... it could only mean that the Spirit Medicine was of great use to it, making it instinctively unwilling to leave.

The Man in Black looked solemnly at the Vicious Beast, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking, "It's actually him?"

Wasn't this the person who had taken Black Eagle's sumeru ring and Sealed Black Eagle back then?

Speaking of which, Chu Yuan should even thank him.

However... Black Eagle's treasures were his, Chu Yuan's, treasures. How could he let this man take them away like this?

He had to find a way to get them back!

"Chu Yuan, you know him?" Noticing the change in Chu Yuan's expression, Little Bai asked via voice transmission.

Chu Yuan shook his head slightly and replied via voice transmission, "I was fortunate enough to have seen that sword. This person is highly likely a member of the Human Race."

Hearing this, Little Bai slightly raised an eyebrow and hesitated, "Then should we still be the oriole?"

"Yes, we should!" Chu Yuan quickly nodded and laughed, "Why wouldn't we?"

"Not only should we, but we must also snatch all his treasures and let him provide a little help for me, a junior of the Human Race."

Hearing this, Little Bai couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, "This person seems a bit unlucky to have run into you."

"Hehe!" Chu Yuan chuckled and sent a message to Black Eagle, informing him of the situation here.

The main point was to have them serve as a backup plan to prevent the Man in Black from escaping.

Killing him was optional!

But grievances must be repaid, and grudges avenged. Most importantly, the treasures must be left behind.

Among the Spirit Medicine left by Lu Xuan, some were ingredients for the xuantian treasure elixir, but four Ninth-Grade Spirit Medicine were still missing.

dragon blood grass was one of them!

Putting aside everything else, just the dragon blood grass alone could not be allowed to be taken away by this Man in Black.

While the two were plotting here, the Man in Black also felt a creeping dread in his heart.

But he only assumed it was the threat of the Vicious Beast, so he launched a fierce attack.

Although he only had the cultivation of the Spirit God Realm Middle Stage, he still held a slight advantage against the Flood Dragon, which lacked intelligence and only attacked instinctively.

The key was that he didn't actually need to kill the Vicious Beast; seizing the treasure was the priority!

For a time, the battle in the valley was fierce; rocks shook, and space trembled.

However, the man and the beast deliberately kept away from the location of the dragon blood grass.

Moreover, the Man in Black intentionally protected the dragon blood grass, preventing the aftermath of the battle from affecting it.

"He really is from the Human Race!" Little Bai whispered, her eyes fixed tightly on the movements over there, ready to strike at any moment.
