Chapter 567 Fairies & Demon Bane.



When Shi Lang said that all the demonic cultivators in the valley had been killed, the faces of the five ladies changed. They all stepped back, and Shi Lang said, "Umm, the main creditor of this task is my Spirit Beast Companion, Lei Hu."

He gestured his hand toward the thunder tiger for the ladies to see. The beast gazed at Shi Lang, and they raised his head tall. He did not expect this human to treat him this well. He did not flex his might before the ladies. At least he was not like the typical human males. Even a beast could tell from the temperament and appearance of the ladies that they were not from a lower sect.

If Shi Lang managed to impress them, he would gain a lot, yet he did not exploit the chance. This was a good human.

The ladies cast a gaze at the Spirit Beast, and they subconsciously reached for their weapons. They did not expect this huge tiger to be an Immortal Lord realm beast. They were surprised and gazed at the Terran briefly.

Shi Lang said, "If you do not seek anything else, then I will take my leave. Please be careful."

He bowed slightly and walked away with the thunder tiger in tow. Suddenly, one of the girls exclaimed. Shi Lang stopped in his tracks and turned around. The five girls were gazing at the huge tree with sparkling eyes.

Shi Lang concluded that these people must be aware of the origins of this tree and asked, "Excuse me."

The girls turned around and directly drew their swords, surprising Shi Lang. He did not expect them to have such a strong reaction. The group leader asked coldly, "What do you want?"

The Terran asked calmly, "May I ask if the fairies know about the origins of this tree?"

The lady asked, "Why do you ask?"

Shi Lang could sense that her attitude had just become very defensive, and the threat in her tone was also audible to him. The terran sighed and said, "I am asking because earlier, when those demonic cultivators exploded into blood mist from Lei Hu's attack, the blood from the ground flowed to the tree's roots. I was curious, but I do not know much about it, so I was curious. I do not mean you any harm."

One asked, "How can we believe you so easily?"

Shi Lang sighed, and his aura changed. He was now like a sword ready to cut. He gazed at the lady and said, "If I had ill intentions, you would have died already."

His voice sent a chill down their spines, and they did not know what to say or how to retort. It was true, and they did not have the means to fight against an Immortal Lord-level beast. Even if they had, they would still struggle. Shi Lang had killed a group of demonic with the help of this demon beast, and this was not an easy task.

What scared them the most was the missing marks of battle. They were sure that the demonic cultivators had come to this valley, and then when they chased them, they found this young man walking outside. He also recognized those demonic cultivators' uniforms.

They had no choice but to believe that if Shi Lang wanted to kill them, they would have died already.

The leader of the group stepped forward and sheathed her sword. She cupped her fist and bowed to him, saying, "Fellow Daoist, forgive us for being on guard. The battlefield of Gods is filled with treacherous people, and we cannot help but doubt everyone."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not mind your vigilance, Fairy. Please raise your head. I apologize for losing my temper. Can you please tell me what this tree is called?"

The lady nodded and said, "This tree is called the Demon Bane Tree. It is one of the ten rarest vegetation in the world."

Shi Lang was shocked, and the lady continued, "The legend is that this plant feeds upon the blood of demonic cultivators and demon beasts. This tree can purify their blood and turn it into pure spirit energy. This energy will later produce a fruit called the blood-cleaning fruit. It is said that consumption can lead to the cleansing of blood."

Shi Lang woke up from the initial awe and asked, "What are the benefits of blood cleansing?"

The lady replied, "If you managed to consume one, then you would gain the strength of thousand elephants. One person can consume an unlimited number of these fruits. However, they only last ten breaths once they have ripened. If you delay, they will rot."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Do you intend to harvest this tree?"

The ladies sighed and said, "Even if we do, we cannot. This tree will not last long once it is taken out. Even if we use some cultivation artifact, it will fail."

Shi Lang thought about it and nodded. He was thinking if he should move this tree inside the Inheritance Palace. He had fertile silt and also a whole lake of spirit liquid. He can help this tree grow quickly and have it produce fruit. However, he would be in trouble if these ladies were not on board with the plan.

Shi Lang said, "I have gained some inheritance in this place and some things that came with it. If you all are willing to take a dao oath not to oust my secret to anyone, I will show you the place. There we can wait for the Demon Bane to bear Fruit."

This communication took place with spirit communication and not verbally. Shi Lang did not wish for the words to be heard even by the wind around. The ladies were shocked, and Shi Lang continued, "I am willing to take an oath that what I said is true, and I bear you no ill-will."

The five ladies were confused and asked, "Why do you wish to help us?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not wish to help you but myself. If I can return with this tree, I will be doing a good job."

The leading cultivator said, "This tree will only grow when it has consumed the blood of thousand demonic cultivators or demon beasts."

Shi Lang smirked and said, "That will be easy."
