The man looked at the girl who had almost blended in with Tao Tie. He had never seen anyone who could do this. In this world, how many people would have the guts to directly jump into Tao Ge's mouth to contract with him?

Needless to say, he was shocked.

Although his words were half-truth, in the end, he was only using the girl.

He didn't tell the girl that the incantation he was teaching was an ancient technique. If the contract failed, he would die without a doubt.

The beast driving talent had always been rare, and there wasn't even a single one. Once discovered, it would be a treasure out of all the treasures. If anyone looked at it again, they would be afraid of trouble, so how many people would dare to continue fighting like this?

In other words, he had left this world for too long …

The man watched in silence. Even after three days, there was still no response. "Did you fail?"

He murmured to himself as he returned his consciousness back to his body, no longer paying any attention to his surroundings. However, a gentle white light was emitted from Tao Tie's mouth. Tao Ge's body suddenly became small and transparent. He disappeared without a trace.

However, before she landed on the ground, a gentle breeze blew past, lifting her up into the air. That posture made it seem as though she was being carried by a transparent person.

The man smiled. "You didn't disappoint this sovereign."

When Mu Xiaoling woke up, she was in a room filled with treasures. The decorations of the room were luxurious. There was a treasure pavilion, a warm jade carved bed, and many boxes in the corner. All of them were filled to the brim.

She laid on the bed in the stone room, but there was no one around her.

"Are you there?" Mu Xiaoling tried asking.

The man's voice came from beside the table. "Yes."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." The man's voice paused, "This is the Taotie nest, the dragon blood is inside the treasure pavilion."

The underground time was always the same. Mu Xiaoling didn't know how long she had been down there. With a slight movement of her body, her stomach rumbled loudly.

A ginseng floated out from the treasure chest and stopped in front of Mu Xiaoling.

Fortunately, the ginseng was fresh and couldn't be chewed on. Mu Xiaoling didn't know how she had saved it, so when she couldn't bite into it, she swallowed it whole. Her body felt warm and she wasn't as weak as before as she asked, "Where is the Taotie?"

"You really don't know anything." The man's voice was still on the table, "Beast Repellent Talents will open up a space in your sea of consciousness to store contracted beasts. You've already contracted Taotie, it's in your beast repelling space, you'll see it when you focus."

Mu Xiaoling sat down and closed her eyes. In the depths of her Sea of Consciousness, she found a place where there were green mountains and a river filled with green grass. However, there was no sign of the Taotie beast and there was only a small white dog lying in the grass.

From the looks of it, this was Taotie.

The man saw her open her eyes and said, "There's a spatial ring on the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. You can come and take all of the items."

It had to be said that Mu Xiaoling was really short on money and resources.

She walked in front of the treasure pavilion and found the spatial ring in a small box. She placed it on her finger. The ring had an extremely ordinary appearance; it was a wooden vine that had been folded into a ring.

In this world, there were indeed a few storage rings, but they were extremely rare. No one knew how the rings were made, but they suddenly appeared.

Once the ring was worn, a connection was formed between her and the ring. She could see the space inside the ring, but it was a bit larger than this stone room. However, the ring couldn't be too far away from the item.

Gold and silver? Collect!

Top-grade pill? He did it, he did it!

Superior Martial Skills? Collect them all!

Mu Xiaoling kept all the things in the room like a hurricane. She didn't even let go of the hot jade bed.

The man was rather speechless. He had thought that this girl had such courage and insight and was quite aloof. He hadn't thought that the truth would always make his face hurt …

Mu Xiaoling looked at the empty room with satisfaction. Her gaze fell onto the last box in the pavilion. There was only a small porcelain bottle in the box. It should be the dragon blood that the man needed.

She picked up the porcelain bottle. "Here you go."

The man said, "Although I can take ordinary items, dragon blood is still the most positive. I can't touch it."

Mu Xiaoling left the Taotie's cave. It wasn't too far away from Merlin. She walked up to the ice coffin and asked, "How do I go about doing this?"

The man's voice was faintly excited, "Just spill your blood on the ice coffin."

Mu Xiaoling opened the bottle and saw that the bottle was about to fall to the ground. She smiled and said, "First, swear that you will never hurt me. Otherwise, your heart will be corrupted and your elemental energy will be wasted."

The man was stunned, then he sneered, "Girl, you're really cunning. Fine, I, Xiao Yu, swear that I'll never hurt you …"

"My name is Mu Xiaoling."

"You are not allowed to hurt Mu Xiaoling. Otherwise, your inner demon will invade your body and all of your elemental energy will be wasted." Are you satisfied? "

As the man's voice faded, a beam of red light appeared out of nowhere. It split into two halves and fell into Mu Xiaoling's palm, turning into a cinnabar mole. The other half flew into the ice coffin and fell into the man's heart.

"So you're called Xiao Yu." Satisfied, Mu Xiaoling tilted the bottle.

"No!" Taotie shouted from his sea of consciousness, "That's the Demon Lord, we can't let him go!"

In an instant, a gale appeared everywhere, and the ice plains melted, revealing a large piece of charred ground. The ice coffin also started to melt, and when the lid of the coffin disappeared, the man inside suddenly opened his eyes, and flew out, his black robes flapping as he went out like a dragon out of the sea.

If the man's might from before was something that others could not ignore, then a single glance at him now would cause an enormous fear to flood his heart.

Xiao Yu flew in a circle and slowly landed in front of Mu Xiaoling. With an ice-cold expression, he looked at Mu Xiaoling as if he was looking at a dead man, his voice was icy cold and no longer as warm as before. "You are the first person who dared to plot against this noble one."

Mu Xiaoling shot a cold glance at him, but he wasn't afraid at all. No one could escape the power of his oath.

Tao Ge shouted, "It's over. Do you know what kind of terrifying existence you've released?"

Mu Xiaoling didn't seem to care. "I don't know."

Tao Tie's face was filled with despair, "That is the Upper Realm Demon Lord. Back then, all the sect heads and elders of various sects had perished as sacrifices to the Demon Lord Wu Yuan, who was sealed just now. I was one of the sect masters' martial beasts and was left here to guard the Demon Lord.

Tao Tie's expression changed as he laughed. "But that's good too. I've been a watchman for almost a thousand years. I should go out and take a look. Who cares if he's the Demon Lord or not."

"…" Mu Xiaoling was speechless. Her face had changed quite quickly.
