C58 (2/2)
As Bai Mu spoke, he took out a jade white porcelain bottle from his pocket. Immortal Zhou's eyes lit up when he saw this bottle.
It was actually the legendary Snow Muscle Bottle that could store the souls of the world. Such a treasure actually ended up on the body of an ordinary kid?
Bai Mu, on the other hand, didn't notice the old man's surprise. He lightly pulled the cork from the bottle, and with a slight tilt of the bottle, two bodies flew out of it.
Spirit Power was not strong to begin with, and Wang Rong's body was not dead yet, so under the sunlight, the body became more transparent, as if it was about to disappear.
Bai Mu glanced at the two bodies and frowned. ”Senior, please keep these two bodies in case the scorching sun dissipates.”
How could that Immortal Zhou still hear Bai Mu's words? He was currently looking at the Snow Muscle Bottle in Bai Mu's hand as he cried out in his heart.
When he thought about how he had actually seen this divine tool that came from the Underworld in his lifetime, especially when it was a nameless kid, how could he not be happy and shocked.
When he thought about the use of this Snow Muscle Bottle, and how he had obtained the use of this bottle, the look in Immortal Zhou's eyes changed slightly.
”Senior Zhou? Senior Zhou?” When Bai Mu saw the strange look on Immortal Zhou's face as he stared at his small porcelain bottle, his gaze turned heavy. This was something given to him by the King of Hell. It couldn't be that Immortal Zhou had taken a fancy to something like this, right?
Thinking this way, Bai Mu put the white bottle back into his pocket as if he didn't know anything.
Only when Bai Mu put the item away did Immortal Zhou hear Bai Mu's call to him and immediately coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. When he saw Wang Rong's eyes, his expression became sluggish to hide the panic in his eyes.
Immortal Zhou's strange expression didn't escape Bai Mu's eyes. Bai Mu looked at Immortal Zhou and felt that he knew Wang Rong, but he didn't say anything. It seemed that this Immortal Zhou wasn't as simple as he looked on the surface.
As for Immortal Zhou, after he retracted Wang Rong's two souls, he said to Bai Mu with a smile, ”Nephew, what was that bottle that could contain souls —” This old man seemed to like it very much. Before he finished his sentence, Bai Mu, as if he knew the old man's shameless goal, laughed.
He said, ”This is something that I borrowed from a friend. I'll have to return it another day.”
Since Bai Mu had said this, Immortal Zhou couldn't say anything more. However, he was thinking that he had to obtain it no matter what. As long as he had it, his status in the group would increase several times in the future.
”Alright, Apprentice Nephew, this matter should not be delayed. Let's go down the mountain now and help this Wang Rong return his soul!”
Sure enough, there was a problem. Bai Mu could only ask curiously, ”Senior Zhou, do you know him?”
Upon hearing Bai Mu's question, Immortal Zhou knew that he had revealed his true emotions. He hurriedly explained with a smile, ”This person isn't a nameless person in the mortal world. This old man naturally knows about it.” Let's go. This old one has observed Wang Rong's two souls and discovered that they have been gone for a rather long time. Therefore, this old one has to return his soul back as soon as possible to prevent any mishap from happening. ”
Since others had already said so, Bai Mu naturally couldn't say much. He nodded and followed Immortal Zhou down the mountain.
Immortal Zhou had already cultivated to the position of the Earth God, so naturally, the speed at which he descended the mountain couldn't be compared to that of mortals. However, what surprised Immortal Zhou was that Bai Mu was able to keep up with his pace.
On the way down the mountain, Immortal Zhou asked casually, ”Xiao Yunzi really did take in a good disciple. To have such accomplishments at such a young age, it seems that this old man has underestimated Xiao Yunzi.”
Bai Mu naturally knew what the old man was referring to. He smiled and said, ”Old Senior Zhou is flattering me. However, it is indeed my good fortune that I was able to follow you.”
As Immortal Zhou was speaking with Bai Mu, he was also thinking about how to get rid of Bai Mu. If he brought Bai Mu to Wang Rong's house, then the things that he had done would be leaked. It wouldn't matter if he hurt the relationship between him and Xiao Yunzi.
At this moment, Bai Mu's voice came from behind. ”Senior Zhou, you still have some matters to attend to, so you can't be together with me. I'll have to trouble Senior Zhou to help me with this matter.” The reason why Bai Mu didn't want to follow them was because he didn't want to see the tears of that woman again. The second reason was to avoid embarrassment.
He had never wanted anything to do with that family.
Immortal Zhou was about to say something, but he didn't expect Bai Mu to bring it up himself. This saved Immortal Zhou from saying all those reasons. Thus, the moment Bai Mu finished speaking, Immortal Zhou nodded his head repeatedly.
After parting ways, Immortal Zhou casually walked towards Wang Rong's mansion. When he saw Madam Wang, who was in the middle of making a move, as well as a altar in the courtyard, Immortal Zhou directly walked into the villa.
At this moment, Wang Rong's wife, Liu Ying, was standing on the side anxiously. Her eyes were looking back and forth between the man in yellow robe and the Taoist priest wielding the peach wood sword. She prayed that he would succeed this time.
Just as the Daoist Priest was reciting those words at an increasing speed, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.
”Madam Wang, long time no see!”
