Beside him, the Nine Nether clone transformed into a bare shrub without any leaves.
There were a total of 3,000 branches growing on the shrub, pointing in different directions.
At this moment, twenty of the branches on the Nine Nether bush pointed in the same direction were slowly moving.
He stared at the branch for a moment, then looked in the direction it pointed.
“Is it there?”
With a casual wave of his hand, the Nine Nether Wood transformed into a green light that returned to Jiang Li’s body.
Only a branch peeked out from his wrist and still pointed firmly ahead.
The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword floated to Jiang Li’s side and reached out to press on the sword. A purple-red light flashed, and his body suddenly transformed into a sword rainbow that shot in that direction.
After Jiang Li left last night, he did not stay idle.
He ran at the fastest speed to all the places where humans gathered in a radius of 200 kilometers.
Taking advantage of the night, he distributed the 3,000 spiritual root seeds to some children of suitable age in each gathering place.
There were only a few large gathering places. The small ones were like villages, so there were only a few.
He also used his spiritual qi to mature the spiritual root seed as quickly as possible before leaving.
He spent the entire night without stopping.
It was not until dawn that he released the Nine Nether clone.
He was betting that the group of cultivators would not be satisfied with a town, and that they would commit crimes again.
The Nine Nether Wood could roughly locate the location of his spiritual root seed.
Jiang Li planted the seeds in advance and used the Nine Nether Wood to monitor them.
If any spiritual root seeds moved beyond the limits of a mortal’s ability in a short period of time, they would undoubtedly be taken away.
Jiang Li took out almost all the seeds in his inventory, but he was not confident that he would succeed.
What if, what if they moved farther than he could cast the net?
Or perhaps they had already reached their goal and stopped, so he could only search for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, his luck was good. After waiting anxiously for a day, twenty of the branches finally moved.
“Immortal… Immortal Master, are we going to spend the night on this mountain?”
After the children who had just been pulled onto the carriage and were still very excited entered the forest not far away, they were called down by these Immortal Masters. In the cold night wind, they were a little confused.
“No, you’re the ones who will spend the night on this mountain.”
“Come here.”
One of the cultivators grabbed a child with a spiritual root.
After casually scattering some powder to make him faint, he took out a wine jar from the carriage mountain. Then, he directly stuffed the entire person into the wine jar with a special spell technique.
The others also attacked. Soon, they stored all the children with spiritual roots.
The chattering children were troublesome, so it was much more convenient to put them in the jar.
Then, they took out their weapons and looked at the remaining children without any pity in their eyes.
Some of their children were still very young. No one knew why they could do this to other people’s children without guilt.
“Child, don’t be afraid. It will only hurt for a while.”
Now, these children finally knew what the wine jars in the carriage were.
However, why were these Immortal Masters pointing their swords at them?
This was the first time they had left home. This sudden change frightened them, making the originally chattering children fall silent.
They were inexperienced in the world, but they knew that something bad might happen next.
At this moment, many children suddenly looked behind the rogue cultivators.
“Meteor…” A child called softly.
Then, the meteor crashed.
A young man in a heavy mountain embroidered robe appeared behind them. He held the head of a man with a stunned expression in his hand. He had already died before he could react.
“Don’t be afraid. It’ll only hurt for a while.”
Pew!
It was not until a large amount of blood spurted out from their necks that they realized that one of their companions had already had his head removed.
The others wanted to turn around and resist.
However, their bodies were as stiff as rocks. They felt that they were enveloped by a terrifying aura and could not even move a finger.
“Senior, calm down! Please spare our lives. We were forced. We were forced to do this!”
The only Nascent Soul cultivator among them trembled and barely raised the sword in his hand.
However, Jiang Li knew that sword was from Shu Mountain!
It was the water attribute flying sword used by Shenshan Qiuhua.
The Asura Dragon Qi appeared behind Jiang Li and roared at them with killing intent.
“Speaking of which, you might not believe me now. For the next hundred years, you will wish that your soul had dissipated now.”
The Yin Burial Coffin flew out. Countless tentacle-like roots surged out and dragged all of them in.
Including the head, Jiang Li was planning to build the cruelest Fengdu dungeon in the coffin.
It was just nice. He could let them be the first batch of permanent residents!
After grabbing Shenshan Qiuhua’s two flying swords, Jiang Li waved his hand and tore apart a few carriages. Inside, he saw more than a hundred jars that were sealed by talismans.
In the cultivation world, only demons and ghosts would use such jars to transport slaves.
They had actually stuffed Shenshan Qiuhua into this.
This caused the anger in Jiang Li’s heart to rise slightly.
One after another, they knocked open the jars. In next to no time, a familiar face that was pale like paper appeared before Jiang Li.
It was Shenshan Qiuhua, whom he had not seen for months.
Jiang Li stepped forward and was about to carry the other party, but a layer of tough light membrane blocked his palm.
He used a little strength, but the membrane still blocked his palm.
Jiang Li was stunned. The strength he revealed with every move was shocking and terrifying, even though it was absent because he was afraid of injuring the other party.
However, there was something on Qiuhua that could block his hand.
This situation did not happen to the others. It was impossible for this membrane of light to be the work of those fellows from before, otherwise, they would not have been captured by Jiang Li so easily.
This layer of energy light membrane was emitted from Shenshan Qiuhua’s body. Was this Shu Mountain’s life-saving artifact?
At this moment, a jade pendant on his body emitted a milky white light. The membrane of light on Shenshan Qiuhua’s body automatically disappeared.
Jiang Li could reach out and hug the other party.
That was one of the gifts Shenshan Qiuhua had given him when he was a guest in Shu Mountain. She had not told him the exact use of it, and Jiang Li had always worn it as an ordinary protective talisman.
From the looks of it, this jade pendant should be very important to Junior Sister Qiuhua.
However, he was not in the mood to think about anything else.
Jiang Li carried the other party and carefully checked her up and down. He discovered that her clothes were intact, and there were no obvious external injuries on her body, but her internal injuries were not light.
This energy should have protected Qiuhua.
However, because those few fellows had forcefully refined Shenshan Qiuhua’s flying sword, causing her origin to be heavily injured, the current situation was still quite dangerous..
