Chapter 389: The Thrill of Walking on a Tightrope (2/2)

”This is void spirit root.” w.a.n.g Lu let out a faint smile. ”Before being stimulated, I was only an ordinary earthly spirit root cultivator. But now, you can see it for yourself.”

These words from w.a.n.g Lu have indeed caused Yunkongjun to be lost in thought.

Striking while the iron is still hot, w.a.n.g Lu said, ”I promised to bring you the heavenly spirit root princess, of course I must bring to you the freshest. Before you, I will show how to make the princess be reborn, awaken her true spirit root, which is the heavenly spirit root.”

Although there was still some suspicion in Yunkongjun's heart, after he weighed them, he became more inclined to agree. But as a Yuanying Stage cultivator, his thinking was also very fast.

”Then, are you going to say that to make her be reborn, you need my help?”

w.a.n.g Lu laughed. ”Sure enough, I really can't deceive senior. Indeed, there is something that needs your help. Although I know the principle to stimulate the awakening of the spirit root, my cultivation base is not high enough, so I can't utilize it. At least, in this case, I don't have the full a.s.surance to stimulate the princess' full potential while her body is being ravaged by the poison.”

Yunkongjun was silent for a moment and then said, ”You want me to help her get rid of the poison? Is that it?”

”The key is that the poison in her body must be directly grasped by magical power. It could not be cleansed using the ten thousand spirit blood method—that would probably have unpredictable effects on my next work.”

”So that's how it is. It is indeed not easy to use magical power to save her life, where the poison from rotten corpse gra.s.s can't be solved by ten thousand spirit blood… but, is this really a necessary step to awaken the heavenly spirit root?” Yunkongjun pointedly asked.

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”Whether it is necessary to cleanse the poison or not, what does senior have to lose?”

”Very well, I'll help you this time.”

As soon as Yunkongjun finished saying, a painful coughing sound came from Princess Yueyun inside the carriage. At the same time, a black mist rose up from the carriage, as if it was grasped by an invisible force.

w.a.n.g Lu's eyes turned serious. Seeing this scene, w.a.n.g Lu was able to determine that the rate of power recovery of Yunkongjun was far faster than what he expected. Casually grasping away the rotten corpse gra.s.s poison that had seeped into the vital organs was indeed formidable, truly formidable!

”Right now, the poison in her body has already been removed. Now you can do whatever you need to do to her.”

w.a.n.g Lu nodded, turned around and waved his hand, and the s.p.a.cious carriage was dismantled, revealing a large soft bed. Princess Yunyue, in a splendid attire and in her weakened strength, was trying to sit upright on the soft bed. Her face was pale and her body was also frail, however, she has a look of fort.i.tude that was inconsistent with her age.

w.a.n.g Lu, however, did not go straight to that soft bed but came to the side of King Yunyang, staring at him. At this time, in w.a.n.g Lu's eyes, King Yunyang appeared to be in a trance.

w.a.n.g Lu snapped. ”Until this time, you're still as hesitant as before, don't you care about your little daughter?”

Being the focus of w.a.n.g Lu's roar, King Yunyang was covered in shock, pulling him back from his trance-like state. Finally, he regained the aura of a king that has ruled his country for decades. He then handed over the delicate sachet from his hand to w.a.n.g Lu.

w.a.n.g Lu took the sachet and then arrived at the bedside.

”Princess Yunyue, do you know what you're going to face next?”

Despite her serious condition and unbearably weak body, she still struggled to nod, though she was unable to say anything.

”Very good.”

With a solemn look, w.a.n.g Lu handed over the sachet to Yunyue.

However, at the same time, Yunkongjun snapped. ”What is that sachet?”

Although there was a wave of powerful and invisible force that accompanied that voice, w.a.n.g Lu just took a step to the side, seemingly intentional but also not, and cut off that force. Although he was shaken that blood flowed out of his seven orifices, the sachet finally fell into Yunyue's hand!

The next moment, Yunkongjun's roar shocked the entire fifty kilometers radius area. ”Kid, you dare!”

In the face of the wrath of a near Deity Stage ancestor, w.a.n.g Lu calmly set up his indestructible Non-Phase Sword Defense, firmly protecting King Yunyang and his daughter. Then, he slowly turned his head and saw that, in the distance, on the stele that should've been dilapidated, a wave-like ripple slowly restored the damaged area, and the characters on its surface gradually lit up, releasing an incomparable power.

At this stage, w.a.n.g Lu finally laughed out loud.

”Of course I dare, why wouldn't I if I am dealing with a prisoner?”
