115: It's really become a spirit pet!

Su Yang's disappointed expression remained on his face from the moment he left Su Yulan's study until he walked out of the Immortal Shadow Sect's station.

Just as he had said, if possible, he truly hoped to cooperate with Su Yulan.

Although the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect possessed an Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root, as one of the Eight Great Demonic Path Sects, seeking her help involved too many unknowns and great variables.

Relatively speaking, if he could clearly establish cooperation with Su Yulan, these variables would be minimal.

Unfortunately, Su Yulan was clearly determined to block his path to advancement.

Su Yang rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.

"The path with Su Yulan is a dead end. It seems we can only find a way to go to the Hehuan Sect."

Gu Yue comforted him, "This woman doesn't know what's good for her, and we can't touch her. If she doesn't cooperate, then so be it. Once we reach the Hehuan Sect, it will be easier to handle. We won't have so many scruples when dealing with the Hehuan Sect's Sect Master. Master, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to take care of that Hehuan Sect Sect Master for you!"

Su Yang smiled without speaking.

Gu Yue was not wrong about one thing: Su Yulan's status was such that she could only be dealt with through negotiation. If that didn't work, he could only stare helplessly.

But once they reached the Hehuan Sect, he could directly use other methods!

He could do whatever was most beneficial to achieving his goal!

The variables were indeed great, but the scope for action was also greater.

Su Yang was not one to dwell on things. Since the path with Su Yulan was clearly unfeasible, he would forge another path!

Breakthrough!

It was imperative!

No one could stop his determination to continue moving upward!

He returned to his dwelling.

Su Yang closed the door and released the imprisoned wisp of Lin Huanhuan's soul.

"If you want to destroy me, then destroy me! Otherwise, let me go! Why are you being so indecisive!" Lin Huanhuan shouted as soon as she appeared.

Su Yang smiled and said straightforwardly, "Don't worry, not only will I not destroy you, but I will also release you. And not only will I release you, I will also return to the Hehuan Sect with you as you wish!"

Lin Huanhuan's soul glow flickered, confused and perplexed.

Although she was straightforward, she wasn't a fool.

For someone of Su Yang's status, knowing her purpose, to voluntarily return to her Sect with her – if he had no ulterior motive, it would be a joke.

Lin Huanhuan was silent for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "What are you planning?"

Su Yang not only didn't hide his purpose but actively told her his goal to lure her in, "You should have noticed that I am currently in a Bottleneck. To be honest, my Cultivation Technique is extremely special. I need your Sect Master's Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root to help me Breakthrough this Bottleneck."

Seeking benefits is always the best way to dispel suspicion.

"No wonder you kept hinting at wanting to confirm our Sect Master's Aptitude back on Mount Danazi."

Lin Huanhuan's soul glow flickered, showing her in deep thought.

Su Yang's cultivation was indeed at the Peak Late Golden Core Stage Bottleneck.

However, whether he truly needed the Sect Master's Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root to help him achieve a Breakthrough was difficult to verify.

But was that important?

In fact, for her, Su Yang's reason wasn't important!

As long as she could get Su Yang to the Hehuan Sect, regardless of whether he truly wanted to use the Sect Master to Breakthrough the Bottleneck, with the Sect Master's strength, she would definitely drain him of all his pure Yang Qi.

For her, the truly important thing was actually only one thing—ensuring that only Su Yang was brought to the Hehuan Sect.

With the Eight Great Sects gathered in Chen Country, she couldn't rule out the possibility that Su Yang's true purpose in wanting to return to the Hehuan Sect with her was to take the opportunity to destroy the Hehuan Sect.

She was just direct, not stupid.

Potential dangers had to be eliminated.

Lin Huanhuan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly, our Sect Master is also at a critical stage of Breakthrough right now. It just so happens that our Sect Master needs you, and you also need our Sect Master, so I am naturally willing to take you back to the Sect and hand you over to our Sect Master, but..."

Lin Huanhuan paused and said, "I don't want to be used by you and become a pawn for your Eight Great Sects to besiege the Hehuan Sect, so I can only take you alone."

Gu Yue immediately said, "As Master's Spirit Pet, I must follow Master."

"No!"

Lin Huanhuan refused without any room for discussion.

Su Yang had already sensed her caution and, after some thought, said, "I agree! I will go with you alone!"

"Master!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Su Yang stroked her head and comforted her.

Lin Huanhuan said, "In that case, release me now, and I'll take you to the Hehuan Sect immediately!"

Su Yang said, "No rush! I've expended a lot of energy on the battlefield. I'll rest for a day to adjust my state, and then I'll go to the Hehuan Sect with you tomorrow morning."

With that, he put her away again.

Gu Yue said, "Master, are you really going to the Hehuan Sect alone with her? The Hehuan Sect is a Demonic Path Sect after all. Going deep into the tiger's den alone is too dangerous! I still want to go with you; if any danger arises, I can help you."

Su Yang understood her concern.

Gu Yue, this Fox Spirit, might be a bit flirtatious at times, but her concern for him was genuine.

Su Yang said with a smile, "Do you think I'm that foolish? The reason I brought you out in the first place was so that you could assist me when necessary! Now, going to the Hehuan Sect alone involves great danger and many variables, so I naturally have to find a way to keep you by my side. Not just you, I also need to find a way to have Xuan Yan and Xuan Jian, the two Grand Elders, come with me."

Su Yang was not an impulsive person.

Personal safety was always his primary consideration when making decisions.

However,

Su Yang rubbed his temples and muttered to himself, "This Lin Huanhuan doesn't seem as foolish as she looks; on the contrary, she seems quite cautious. Storage Pouches cannot hold living beings, so how to bring you all along is a big problem."

The reason he didn't leave with Lin Huanhuan immediately was to take some time to resolve this matter.

Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Gu Yue immediately said, "As long as I become Master's Spirit Pet, Master, you should be able to open a Spirit Pet space, and I can enter the Spirit Pet space and go to the Hehuan Sect with Master."

"You really want to be my Spirit Pet?"

Su Yang looked at Gu Yue with some surprise.

Gu Yue jumped off Su Yang's shoulder and transformed into a beautiful human girl in mid-air.

Gu Yue wrapped her arms around Su Yang's neck and said charmingly and emotionally, "I know this decision of mine is foolish, but you are already my man, and more importantly, my Master. I am now willing to become your Spirit Pet so that it will be more convenient for me to always stay by Master's side in the future."

Her charming and moving appearance made Su Yang want to give her a good session.

However, now was clearly not the time for that.

Su Yang said, "I remember when the Sect taught Spirit Pet imprinting, it was said that as long as both parties are willing to lift the imprint, this Spirit Pet imprint is not difficult to remove. Let's just open a Spirit Pet space for now, and then remove the Spirit Pet imprint after this matter is completed."

Gu Yue remained silent, smiling and nodding.

Su Yang took out a dagger and pricked his finger.

A drop of essence blood was forced out and floated in the air. Then, he formed hand seals, and a special imprint pattern appeared around the essence blood. The imprint pattern contracted and entered the essence blood, and a golden light flickered around the bright red essence blood.

"Go!"

Su Yang moved his finger, and the essence blood shot towards Gu Yue's glabella...
