Unfortunately, Meng Gansu did not know much about the Imperial Nether Clan either. However, Xiang Shaoyun did notice the fear in his voice when he spoke of the Imperial Nether Clan.
Inwardly, Xiang Shaoyun thought, Forget it. I will try to find out more about the Imperial Nether Clan in the future. For now, I should focus on reaching the third layer, and if an opportunity presents itself, I will pay the site a visit. Perhaps I won't return empty handed.
He then returned beside the Han Clan sisters with Meng Gansu. They had gotten some spirit medicines and spirit crystals, so it wouldn't take them long to recover. The only reason Xiang Shaoyun had bothered helping them was because of the enmity between him and the Noxious Blood Gang. On top of that, he also felt some guilt toward the sisters since he once lied to them. Rescuing them was his way of making up for his lie.
In his boredom while waiting for the sisters to heal, he started going through the storage rings of the Emperors he had killed. He found that those Emperors had quite a lot of treasures in their rings.
That was understandable, however, since these people were a group of bandits with a considerable number of Emperors among their ranks. Thus, their collection of treasures were attractive enough to catch Xiang Shaoyun's eyes.
From the treasures, Xiang Shaoyun took out a pile of king-grade items, preparing to give them to the sisters as compensation for the harm they had suffered in the hands of Xue Jianhe.
Suddenly, he noticed some odd stones in Xue Jianhe's storage ring. A large amount of devilish energy was converging around them, as if they were something born out of devilish energy. When he took the stones out, he found that the speed in which the devilish energy converged around him had increased.
Is this a devilish energy gathering stone? Xiang Shaoyun wondered inwardly.
Meng Gansu quickly explained, ”Master, this is a devilish energy stone, similar to the spirit crystal of our surface world.”
”I see.” Xiang Shaoyun finally knew what it was.
Spirit crystals were crystallized energy sources cultivators could use to increase their cultivation level. In a way, the devilish energy stones were also a crystallized energy source for devils.
He then tossed the devilish energy stones into his Nether Soul Domain so the ghostrunes could have it. Sure enough, the ghostrunes displayed an intense thirst over the devilish energy stone and quickly devoured them.
Looks like gathering more of these stones if I have the chance wouldn't be a bad idea, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
He continued going through the rings and after a short while, he gathered a large number of devil cores. He did the same and tossed them all into his Nether Soul Domain. There were enough devil cores here for the ghostrunes to grow considerably.
During this period of time, the ghostrunes had been growing rapidly. As a whole, they were no longer weaker than any devil clan residing in the second layer of the Devil Domain. In the future, they would be an important army Xiang Shaoyun could rely on.
After about half a day, the Han Clan sisters finally stopped meditating. A crystalline clump of radiance swirled around each of them, emitting a unique cold aura that made them look rather extraordinary. The cold aura around them caused them to look even more bewitching than they originally were.
They stood up and saluted Xiang Shaoyun gratefully. ”Thank you, mister, for saving us.”
Regardless of their previous impression of Xiang Shaoyun, he had indeed saved them this time. Because of him, they no longer needed to endure the humiliation of the Noxious Blood Gang.
Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, ”Don't worry about it. It's good that both of you are fine. You are too deep into the second layer. You should leave quickly if you don't want to end up in the stomach of some devil.”
Han Xuewei stepped forward and said, ”Mister Xiang, since you have already saved us once, why don't you help us till the end? Can you remove the poison from us and send us to the first layer?”
