Chapter 84: Arriving at Suotuo City
Three days passed in a flash.
When Zhou Heng once again brought Dugu Bo before the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor resided.
The Blue Silver Emperor walked out of the cave on its own.
The roots that were originally anchored in the soil stood upon the ground like a person's two legs.
Its entire body stood upright in front of the cave, quietly watching Zhou Heng and the others.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan watched the Blue Silver Emperor standing like a human.
A strange, absurd feeling could not help but well up in their hearts.
After all, a stalk of Blue Silver Grass was now actually walking upright like a human; if this scene were seen by others, they would likely be scared to death.
Zhou Huan frowned, looking at the Blue Silver Emperor's appearance, and sensed carefully with his mental power; the Blue Silver Emperor's current cultivation was approximately eighty thousand years.
"It seems you have recovered quite a bit. How about it, what did you see?"
However, Zhou Heng did not concern himself with the Blue Silver Emperor's state, instead turning his attention to other targets, namely the two people, Tang San and Tang Hao.
The Blue Silver Emperor's mental fluctuations, which had been normal, became immediately chaotic upon hearing Zhou Heng's words.
"You are right. Although that child possesses the body of my child.
However, the cultivation techniques he practices and the methods he uses are ones I have never seen before.
That kind of technique is simply not something an eight-year-old child could master. That kind of profound gaze is also not something a child should have.
Since you know so many things, it seems you have a grudge against them."
The Blue Silver Emperor felt deeply desperate; back then, it had been plotted against by the man it loved, and in order to protect its child, it had no choice but to sacrifice itself to the man it had once loved deeply.
But after it sacrificed itself, its child died, and its body was even occupied by a strange soul.
And the man who obtained its Soul Ring never made a move to avenge its child.
Having witnessed Tang San occupying its child's body, his daily actions were completely unlike those of an eight-year-old child.
Now, the Blue Silver Emperor no longer had any feelings for Tang Hao and Tang San; in order to avenge itself and its child, the Blue Silver Emperor was prepared to pay with everything it possessed.
Zhou Heng looked at the Blue Silver Emperor before him and smiled, "Tang San, which is the name of your child now, will eventually become an opponent of mine, so he must die.
And with your existence, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul he possesses will never be able to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.
This can strike at his potential, which is exactly what I need.
Of course, you are, after all, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast; relying on your cultivation to provide me with a Soul Ring is also my goal.
Other than that, I shouldn't need anything else."
Listening to Zhou Heng's words, the Blue Silver Emperor let go of some of its wariness toward him.
This guy not only didn't want its Right Leg Bone, but also helped it recover its cultivation and told it the truth about what happened back then.
If Zhou Heng's conditions were not high, the Blue Silver Emperor could actually agree to Zhou Heng's request.
Now that it knew Zhou Heng's conditions, regardless of whether what Zhou Heng said was true, the Blue Silver Emperor did not intend to help him.
Neither side was a good thing; if it weren't for Zhou Heng taking advantage of its severe injuries and dormant consciousness to place a brand on it, it would have run away long ago.
He still wanted it to work for him—in his dreams.
"Fine, as long as you can kill them all, I am willing to perform a sacrifice for you, allowing you to obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone," the Blue Silver Emperor said in a cold tone.
As long as it could get revenge, death was not such a terrifying thing.
Zhou Heng looked at the Blue Silver Emperor, who was mired in a vortex of hatred, and felt very satisfied.
This kind of guy, who would stop at nothing for revenge, was his best subordinate.
Zhou Heng raised his hand, his Battle Instrument martial soul appeared, and golden light bands extended, drawing the Blue Silver Emperor into the Battle Instrument martial soul.
The Blue Silver Emperor's mental thoughts extended from within the Battle Instrument martial soul, linking toward Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng did not stop the Blue Silver Emperor's actions; his mental power linked with the Blue Silver Emperor's thoughts, and then a voice rang out: "In this space of yours, there is actually this kind of life force.
How did you do it? This life force is not at all inferior to me at my peak, and in terms of purity, it is even superior."
"That is none of your business. Recover your cultivation properly; later I will take you to the Blue Silver Forest, where you will completely restore your strength."
Having said that, Zhou Heng directly cut off the Blue Silver Emperor's thoughts and sealed it within the space inherent to the Battle Instrument martial soul.
Inside the Battle Instrument martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor felt the severed connection and only felt a nameless fire burning fiercely.
However, in this space, there were no other life forms besides itself.
The Blue Silver Emperor could only suppress its current anger in the bottom of its heart, waiting for a chance to retaliate later.
After taking away the Blue Silver Emperor, Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said to Dugu Bo, "Let's go. I have now obtained my sixth Soul Ring and successfully broken through to the Soul Emperor realm. Let's go to Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom and take a look first.
Afterward, we will go to the Blue Silver Forest to restore the Blue Silver Emperor's cultivation and let it officially recover the cultivation a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast should have."
Dugu Bo naturally had no objections; although there were many people on the continent who could steadily defeat him.
But, according to what Dugu Bo knew, the Balak Kingdom only had two Spirit Douluos, and the number of Soul Saints was very small.
Other than that, there were no other powerhouses.
Dugu Bo was still very confident that he could protect the safety of Zhou Heng and Dugu Yan in the Balak Kingdom.
The three did not hesitate, returning directly to Nuoding City and driving the carriage toward Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom.
Nuoding City was not far from Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom; the three drove the carriage along the main road, and after only eight or nine days, they arrived in Suotuo City.
Suotuo City was responsible for sixty percent of the grain supply for the entire Balak Kingdom; although the city walls looked dilapidated, the city itself was very prosperous, and while not as good as Heaven Dou City, it had its own unique charm.
Dugu Yan was attracted by the uniqueness of Suotuo City and suggested she wanted to go sightseeing in the city.
Dugu Bo did not want to go out; having driven the carriage for seven or eight days, he was already extremely exhausted—where would he have the energy to accompany Dugu Yan sightseeing?
Zhou Heng did not object; this was not some dragon's den or tiger's lair, so if she wanted to sightsee, she naturally could.
In the end, the three decided that Zhou Heng would accompany Dugu Yan to go sightseeing, while Dugu Bo would drive the carriage to the largest inn in Suotuo City, book two superior rooms, and wait for the return of Zhou Heng and Dugu Yan.
