397: Pluto returns! Blood Emperor is missing!

At this moment, Chu Yun responded with a laugh, " noob, you're overthinking it."

"Although A Niu is mischievous, Second Senior Sister wouldn't just stand by and watch something happen to him."

"Second Senior Sister left a mark on him, so if anything happens to him, we'll know immediately."

"Besides, the environment of City of Death is special; it's a good opportunity for A Niu to hone himself."

Chu Yun and Mu Qianli were from the same sect, and after getting along these past few days, he naturally understood what kind of person Mu Qianli was.

She was typically tough-talking but soft-hearted towards her own people.

Her strictness with A Niu was mainly because A Niu often slacked off and didn't Cultivate properly.

But if he encountered danger, there was no doubt.

If a Thatched Cottage person was in danger, she would definitely be the first to rush forward.

"So that's how it is; then it seems I was indeed overthinking it."

Immortal King Qi Bai understood after hearing this.

"Seven days, that shouldn't cause a delay, right?"

Mu Qianli looked at Chu Yun and asked.

Chu Yun shook his head, "No, there's no difference in leaving after seven days."

Mu Qianli nodded, finally relieved.

..........

After A Niu left Yinmu Tower, he kept walking along the street until he reached a corner of a collapsed building's ruins.

He saw some corpses still pressed under the ruins and immediately wanted to scavenge for items.

He walked over and used his power to collect all the Storage Rings from the corpses.

Then, his consciousness probed inside, and he immediately beamed with joy: "Hehehe! So many good things!"

"This place isn't as dangerous as they say; it's simply Grandpa Niu's blessed land!"

A Niu swaggered, and after collecting everything and stuffing it into his pockets, he was about to leave.

But suddenly, he heard a voice from the ruins: "Little friend... save me."

"This old man has treasures... save me, and this old man will give you all the treasures..."

The hoarse, faint voice reached A Niu's ears.

Hearing the word 'treasure,' A Niu immediately followed the sound to search, spreading his consciousness, and finally, in a corner of the ruins, he found an old man dressed in tattered blood-colored robes.

However, this old man had no cultivation whatsoever, and his injuries seemed severe; his aura was extremely weak, looking like he was on the verge of death, his body slumped around the ruins with no strength at all.

A Niu walked over, his eyes wide like copper bells, and after a careful examination, he said, "What treasures do you have?"

"Immortal Artifact..."

"I... I have an Immortal Artifact hidden!"

"Only if little friend saves me, once my injuries recover, I will give the Immortal Artifact to little friend!" the injured old man said.

"Old man, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"You have no cultivation fluctuations on your body, but your injuries carry Immortal might."

"The one who injured you must be an Immortal Realm expert."

"Which means your cultivation is above mine. If I save you, the first thing you'll do after recovering your cultivation is kill me!"

"And give me treasures? Are you really trying to trick Grandpa Niu?!"

A Niu's detailed analysis was a rare display of his intelligence.

The old man also hadn't expected that this ox, who seemed dull-witted, actually had some brains.

"Little friend, this old man is not one to repay kindness with enmity."

"As long as you save me, I guarantee I won't harm you in the slightest, and I will even give you my treasures as a thank-you gift." The old man was still pleading.

"Forget it!"

"In this place, if guarantees were useful, would so many people still die every day?"

"Alright, although Grandpa Niu is greedy, Grandpa Niu isn't stupid."

"Bye-bye!"

A Niu patted his butt, ready to leave.

"Little friend!!"

"Come back!! I... I have a way!"

"I have a way to make little friend trust me!!!"

Seeing A Niu about to leave, the old man became anxious and hurriedly shouted.

A Niu turned around, a bit impatient: "What way do you have? Last chance, otherwise Grandpa Niu will turn around and leave!"

The old man could only put on a good face and patiently said, "Little friend, I have a Co-Existence Karma Contract, which comes from the Celestial Appearance Dominator of the Celestial Phenomenon World."

"As long as the two of us sign this contract, our Karma will overlap, and we will live and die together. If you are injured, I will also be injured; if you die, I will also die."

"And you will sign as the main party; if something happens to me, you will be fine!"

"Little friend, with this contract, you can rest assured, right?"

A Niu immediately thought seriously after hearing this: "This is indeed feasible."

"But old man, your injuries were all caused by Immortal Realm experts."

"How am I supposed to save you?"

The blood-robed old man immediately said, "Little friend, you only need to infuse a stream of power into my Soul every day for ten consecutive days."

"As for anything else, you don't need to do anything."

A Niu was a little surprised: "That's it?"

The old man replied, "That's it."

"Then no problem, alright, let's sign the Co-Existence Karma Contract first." A Niu approached.

"Okay."

"Little friend, this is the Karma Contract; just leave a drop of your blood on it."

An ancient contract floated before A Niu.

A Niu glanced at it, confirmed there were no issues, and then dripped his and the old man's blood onto it.

At this point, the Co-Existence Karma Contract was formed!

....................

Yinmu Tower.

An hour later.

Immortal King Qi Xi, who had gone out to gather information, returned.

However, his expression was quite serious, clearly indicating that the information he had gathered was not good news.

"Brother, how was it?"

"What exactly happened?" Qi Bai immediately asked.

Immortal King Qi Xi looked at Chu Yun and said to him, "Uncle Yan, the Netherworld King has returned."

"He broke into the Blood God Cult and slaughtered everyone within the Blood God Cult."

"And the Blood Emperor was severely wounded by the Netherworld King, finally escaping by using a forbidden technique, and his whereabouts are currently unknown."

"The Netherworld King has returned, and it seems he intends to revitalize the Netherworld King Cult, and the reason he chose to attack the Blood God Cult."

"Is because when the Netherworld King disappeared, the Netherworld King Cult he left behind was destroyed by the Blood Emperor and his people."

Hearing the name 'Netherworld King,' Afuya and Meng Ruxue felt very unfamiliar.

But Chu Yun was very familiar with him.

The Netherworld King was a contemporary of the Time-Space Human Ancestor, and at that time, he was also a famous Immortal King peak expert within the Yuan Realm.

But this guy acted high-profile and lawless.

Finally, he offended the Human Ancestor and was suppressed by the Time-Space Human Ancestor in Qianxu Mountain for 100,000 years.

Later, he left the Yuan Realm to roam and created the first major force in City of Death, the Netherworld King Cult.

After that, he returned to the Yuan Realm just as the Yuan Calamity arrived.

And the fact that he is still alive now means that he might have preserved a glimmer of hope through some special means after the Yuan Calamity descended!
