Chapter 163: Wood
The Wood Spirit Infant is quite strange.

It looks like an infant but is not an infant. It is definitely not an ordinary body of flesh and blood, but more like a strange variation of a cultivator's Nascent Soul.

Therefore, Yin Mo decided to give this trick a try.

Although the poor little creature had heard of the legend of the Golden Thunder Bamboo magic weapon before, he had no idea of ​​the hidden characteristics of the evil-repelling divine thunder. Otherwise, he would never be so careless and rely on the body of the demon baby.

As a result, the arrogant villain was easily trapped by Yin Mo.

Yin Mo smiled when he saw the result in his hand. He raised his hand and a cloud of blue flew out, rolling the golden ball back.

"How dare you trap me? Let me out now, or I will extract your soul and refine your spirit, making you regret your life."

The golden ball trembled slightly, and a girl's frightened and angry scream came from inside, which was extremely piercing.

"Extracting souls and refining spirits? It seems that you are still not aware of your situation. Wake up!" Yin Mo frowned, and then his face darkened.

Then, thunder sounded, and the golden arc in his hand shot out again.

Thin threads wrapped around the golden ball, consuming almost half of the evil-repelling divine thunder reserves. Only then did Yin Mo look with satisfaction at the golden ball growing several sizes larger.

Then, he ignored the crazy cursing of the girl in the golden ball, slapped the storage bag with one hand, and a white jade box appeared in his hand.

He stuffed the golden ball into the jade box, closed the lid, took out a few forbidden talismans from the storage bag, and stuck them on the box without hesitation.

The sound from the golden box stopped immediately.

Yin Mo weighed the jade box and his expression regained its composure.

He looked at the short and fat monk who had lost his soul and became a living dead, and expressionlessly shot a fireball, turning him into ashes.

Then, he flew leisurely towards the small town.

A moment later, Yin Mo appeared leisurely in the inn and never went out again, waiting for his birthday to come.

Not long after, the immortal cultivators of Yuanwu Kingdom were surprised to find that the 'Peng Yi Shuang Xiong', who were notorious for killing people and stealing treasures, disappeared from Yuanwu Kingdom without any signs. No one heard about them again.

This situation naturally means the disappearance of the two people in the world of immortal cultivation.

After the news spread, the independent cultivators of Yuanwu Kingdom applauded and cheered. Some said that they had offended a major sect of immortal cultivators and were destroyed.

Others said that their reputation was too bad, and they were finally eliminated by passing experts. Rumors spread everywhere.

In Tianluo Kingdom, thousands of miles away from Yuanwu Kingdom, is the lair of the six sects of the evil way.

The Qiling Mountain in the west of Tianluo Kingdom stretches for tens of thousands of miles. The mountains are steep and there are countless spiritual beasts and strange insects in the mountains. It is the gate of the Yuling Sect.

At the moment he imprisoned the demon baby, an angry roar of an old man suddenly came from a dark stone house in Qiling Mountain.

"Who is it? Who imprisoned the Wood Spirit Infant? Come quickly, contact the disciples of the Yuling Sect of Yuanwu Kingdom immediately."

"If the escaped Zhimu Lingying is not found within three months, they will be punished for both crimes and ordered to commit suicide to apologize. In addition, you must be careful and never let the Demon Flame Sect know about this."

Although the old man was furious, his instructions were very orderly.

"Yes, Master. I'll do it right away." A steady male voice sounded outside the stone house.

"Wait a minute! Also, ask Yunzhi and Liuyu to go to Yuanwu Kingdom in person."

"They are all wood-attributed spiritual roots, and are the best vessels for the Wood Spirit Infant. If they get closer to the Spirit Infant, they might be able to sense something."

"But be careful. The person who imprisoned the spirit baby must be very powerful. They can't fight against him at all."

"As long as you find out who imprisoned the spirit baby, I will meet him in person." The old man suddenly said again.

"Yes, I will personally invite the two junior sisters. Uncle will take his leave first." The man replied respectfully.

Then, the footsteps gradually faded away.

A deep sigh was heard from the stone house, and there was silence in the darkness.

A few days later, Yin Mo appeared on an inconspicuous and unknown hill.

His figure floated in the sky, flashing green light, and he looked at the mist-shrouded mountainside with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

"It's been over a hundred years. It looks the same here, nothing seems to have changed."

Yin Mo reminisced for a moment and chose not to move forward.

He turned and flew away. After a while, Yin Yue asked in a somewhat strange tone:

"Master, the current flying direction does not seem to be Xi Country. Are you not planning to return to Luoyun Sect for the time being?"

"I'm not going back for now. Now that I'm here, I plan to visit the Kingdom of Yue."

"After all, I have lived there, and some things need to be settled. Otherwise, there will always be concerns in my heart, which is not conducive to my practice." Yin Mo sighed and said frankly.

"It's a good idea to do so. At your level, only by cutting off worldly concerns can you truly pursue the supreme Tao." Yin Yue said in agreement.

"Okay, no more talking. I'm going to hurry on my way."

Yin Mo said this coldly, and he didn't say anything more to Yin Yue. His figure turned into a green rainbow, and his speed was several times faster than before, and he disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Yin Mo didn't know that thousands of miles away from him, several green-robed monks were secretly discussing something in a forest, and everyone had an expression of anxiety and fear on their face.

"What should we do? It's been several days, but there's no news of the spirit baby. If we can't find the spirit baby within three months, the sect will probably send law enforcement officers."

A strong-looking man said to others anxiously.

"Humph! Master's words about finding the spirit baby in three months were probably just angry words."

"After all, everyone knows that once the Supreme Wood Spirit Infant escapes the restriction, we, the Foundation Establishment cultivators, will not be able to restrict it again."

“But if we can’t even find any clues about the whereabouts of the spirit baby, we will be in big trouble.” Another middle-aged Confucian scholar with a gloomy face also said in a deep voice.

"But the responsibility for the spirit baby's escape is not ours, but Uncle Ning who is in charge of guarding the spirit baby."

"He drove us young people away and secretly tried to merge with the spirit baby. In the end, he was attacked by the spirit baby and died. When we arrived, the spirit baby had disappeared."

"Although we have magical instruments that can restrain and track the spirit infant, the spirit infant is too fast and we can't catch up at all."

"And now the spirit infant is isolated by restrictions, and we can't even sense its existence." An ordinary-looking woman in green said in panic.

"Let's leave this matter to the upcoming law enforcement officer. I heard that Master Han and Master Liu will come to support us."

"With their wood spiritual roots and cultivation, they should be able to find a way to find the spirit infant even if it is restricted. However, I am really curious."

"The Wood Spirit Infant is so ferocious, how could anyone restrain it without a special magical weapon? It's really puzzling." The Confucian scholar snorted, showing his confusion.

"Okay, no matter what kind of forbidden spirit infant it is."

"The most important thing for us now is to find the whereabouts of that person so that we can save our own lives. Haven't you heard that Master Kuang will take action personally?" The last old man with slightly yellow eyebrows said coldly.

"Second Brother is right. We are lucky to be alive now. But unfortunately, a teleportation array on the way is broken."

"The two uncles must fly for two days in the air to reach the next teleportation array controlled by our sect, and then teleport to us from there."

"According to the time calculation, it should be within one or two days. During this period of time, will the cultivator who restricted the spirit infant leave Yuanwu Country and go to other countries?"

"After all, we still have no idea what country this person is from." The big man frowned and looked worried.

"Haha! You fellow apprentices may not know this. Uncles Han and Liu are the chosen candidates to fuse the spirit infant."

"They began practicing a secret skill specially prepared for this many years ago. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can sense the direction of the spirit baby."

"The cultivator who restrained the spirit infant will definitely not be able to escape the detection of the two uncles Han and Liu." The old man said gloomily, seeming to have full confidence in this.

After hearing the old man's words, the other three breathed a sigh of relief. But the scholar's eyes flickered, and he said uncertainly:

"But, could it be that the cultivator is the one who restricted the Wood Spirit Infant?"

"Ninth Junior Brother, you think too much. This is probably just a coincidence."

"However, it is indeed unlikely that two Nascent Soul cultivators would appear in the same place at the same time. Perhaps they were really the work of the same person."

The woman shook her head at first, but then she analyzed it and began to doubt it.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Can you tell us?"

A gentle voice came from behind a big tree, followed by a flash of white shadow, and two graceful women in white appeared in front of them side by side.

"Uncle Master Liu, Uncle Master Han!" The four monks in green were surprised when they saw the two women in white. Then they bowed in unison, with a hint of respect in their expressions.

"You're welcome. No need to be so polite."

"We have all heard some of the conversation just now. Could you please repeat it in detail again and try to make it as clear as possible?"

A pale and thin woman with bright eyes spoke gently, with a hint of fireworks in her tone.

This woman was Han Yunzhi, whom Yin Mo had known in the past.

Although her appearance has changed, her figure is no longer as thin as before. She has become plump and well-proportioned, becoming a charming and beautiful female cultivator. Her cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds, and she has reached the initial level of Jindan.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master Han. We will do as you tell us." The leading old man said respectfully on behalf of the other three.

Han Yunzhi smiled slightly, walked to the side, found a clean place and sat down cross-legged.

"The crime you committed is not a light one. If we cannot find the spirit infant, your master will not be able to plead for you."

Another young woman with a lazy look in her eyes said with a smile.

She was the woman who awakened these Yuling Sect disciples in the beginning.

"We do recognise our culpability in this instance, but there are things we didn't do in all of them."

"I hope the two uncles can say a few good words for us." The old man said with a wry smile, with a hint of pleading.

"Oh, there are two things I want to say, let's talk about them together. As for the person who restricted the spirit baby, he has already gone far away. We can't catch up with him for the time being, and there is no rush at this moment."

The woman stretched her graceful body and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes, this story starts from when Uncle Ning and we took the spirit baby through Kunmu Mountain. At that time, Uncle Ning was..." The old man respectfully and meticulously recounted the story of the spirit baby's escape.

Han Yunzhi listened quietly, without any strange expression on her face, as if she had already made up her mind.

The other woman named Liu had a twinkling look in her eyes and showed a curious expression from time to time. She was quite interested in the old man's words.

Two days later, Yin Mo appeared in the border area between Yuanwu State and Yue State. With a flash of green light, he entered the territory of Yue State.

According to the information he received, the Kingdom of Yue is now completely controlled by the Guiling Sect, and the headquarters of the Guiling Sect is located on the former territory of the Yanyue Sect.

The Taiyue Mountains where the Huangfeng Valley is located has also become a branch of the Guiling Sect.

As soon as Yin Mo entered the Kingdom of Yue, he immediately headed towards the Taiyue Mountains.

……

"Nothing has changed!" Yin Mo stood in front of a huge pile of rocks, looking a little lonely.

In order to avoid being discovered by the demon monks, he destroyed the entire mountain. Now, many years have passed, and this place looks like a desolate place.

No one could have imagined that beneath this huge pile of rocks, there was a monk's cave hidden.

Yin Mo muttered to himself, then raised his hand, a white light flashed, and several giant ape puppets were released.

Under his command, the giant apes began to clear the pile of stones quickly.

However, the so-called cleaning was actually a few puppets emitting various light beams with their fingers to smash the roadblocks and open up a path leading to the cave.

In just a moment, a straight passage was opened up.

Yin Mo ordered the puppet to guard the entrance of the cave, and he turned into a ray of green light and flew in.

The layout of the cave was exactly the same as when he left, and it seemed that no one had been there. This made Yin Mo a little annoyed.

He didn't come here for nostalgia, but went straight to the secret room where the Spirit Eye Fountain was located.

This time, he planned to take this spiritual spring away.

Although he already had the Eye Stone and the Eye Tree, no one would complain about having too many Eye objects.

Although the Spirit Eye Spring is small, since I am returning to the Kingdom of Yue, I naturally have to take it with me.

The spiritual spring in the secret room was still intact, emitting white spiritual energy.

Yin Mo looked at the spring with a complicated expression, recalling the scene when he first opened the cave and discovered this spiritual spring.

It all seemed to happen again yesterday, causing all kinds of emotions to surge in his heart.

He stared at it for a while, then sighed, chanted a few spells, and cast spells that infused various elements from the spiritual spring into it.

There was a radiant light above the spiritual spring, and the ground was shaking slightly.

Yin Mo sat down cross-legged with a calm expression, his hands forming strange hand seals, staring at the spiritual spring, and chanting a spell in a low voice.

A surprising sight occurred.

The spring water began to boil involuntarily, as if an invisible hand was controlling the water flow, causing it to swirl and rise, forming a bottomless black hole.
