"Fellow Daoist Bashe, what's wrong with you? What's the matter with you coming to see me? Also, how did you find this place?" Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and asked three questions in succession.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shen. I will explain everything to you in detail. But could you please try to conceal my aura first? Also, the three ginkgo fruits you obtained need to be hidden completely. The deeper the better, otherwise the Nine-Headed Insect may come to your door right away." Bashe said quickly.
"Could it be that the Nine-Headed Insect can sense the location of you and the Ginkgo Fruit? You haven't completely broken the restriction that it planted in your body before?" Shen Luo's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked in a deep voice.
"The Nine-Headed Insect had already planted his unique demonic power mark in the nine ginkgo fruits. I didn't realize it until he caught up with me. As for myself, I have completely removed the restrictions planted by the Nine-Headed Insect with the help of the power of the Ginkgo Sacred Tree. The Nine-Headed Insect can sense my location because my original demon body fell into his hands. He has a secret method that can sense the location of the body through the essence and blood, which is why he can easily find my current location. I also ask Fellow Daoist Shen to see that we have experienced life and death together and save my life. Fellow Daoist has the ginkgo fruit on you, and the Nine-Headed Insect will definitely not let you go. I know many of this monster's weaknesses, which will definitely be useful to you." Bashe first sighed, then said hurriedly.
Shen Luo pondered for a moment after hearing this, then flicked his sleeve, grabbed the python and brought it into the cave.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen." Bashe thanked happily.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I can save you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine. I don't have the habit of being a pushover." Shen Luo said.
"What are your conditions?" Bashe was not surprised. The two were enemies not long ago. It was natural for Shen Luo to put forward some conditions, so he asked hurriedly.
"Fellow Daoist, you were once a subordinate of the Nine-Headed Insect, but now you have rebelled. According to the Nine-Headed Insect's vengeful character, he will never stop until he kills you. If I take you in, I will have to bear the Nine-Headed Insect's wrath. Moreover, you and I were enemies before, and I cannot feel at ease if I keep you by my side. So, if fellow Daoist Bashe wants me to protect you, you must agree to let me plant the spiritual mark on you and make you my spirit beast." Shen Luo said slowly.
This python was once a true immortal, and had stayed with great monsters like the Nine-headed Insect for a long time. It had excellent vision and knowledge. Taking in such a spiritual beast would definitely be of great help to him, whether in dealing with the Nine-headed Insect or in his future cultivation. This was the main reason why he had just agreed to take in the python.
"What! Be your summoned beast!" The Bashe's expression suddenly became gloomy, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
When she first took refuge with the Nine-headed Insect, it only set restrictions in her body and did not treat her as a slave. In the eyes of the demon clan, being planted with a spiritual mark by a human cultivator was no different from being a slave.
"Fellow Daoist Bashe, please don't misunderstand. I planted the spiritual mark in your body only to make sure that you won't rebel against me and that I won't treat you as a servant. You and I can treat each other as equals. And I won't keep you for too long. You just need to help me for a hundred years. Once the time is up, I will immediately give you freedom." Shen Luo said calmly.
Bashe looked at Shen Luo, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and remained silent.
