"Hehe, don't ask so many questions. In short, I'm going to turn the City Lord into my puppet magic weapon."
Hei Lan nodded, looking at Zhou Hong with immense fear. If Zhou Hong could refine puppets, wouldn't he be able to kill and refine one after another in the future? Soon, he would have an army. Such a person was truly terrifying.
"I'm asking you, do you know where to find Three-Star Soul-Locking Grass?" Zhou Hong asked, looking up. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Soul-Locking Grass?"
"Yes, only with Soul-Locking Grass can puppet magic weapons be refined."
"I don't know about that either. However, I guess this thing is more common in the mountain range where the immortal and demon realms meet. There's a very famous mountain range there called the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range. You can only go there to look for it."
"Immortal-Demon Mountain Range?"
"Yes, but people from the immortal realm and the demon realm often travel there, so it's very dangerous. Demon cultivators and immortal cultivators are two different systems, and they might fight if they encounter each other."
"Alright, I understand."
Zhou Hong planned to go to this place to find the Soul-Locking Grass. If possible, he would find more, perhaps he could refine more puppet magic weapons, and then his strength would be even greater.
"Zhou Hong, is the City Lord always locked up in the secret room?"
"Yes, until I find the Soul-Locking Grass, you must ensure he doesn't escape from the secret room."
"Will he die then?" Hei Lan was a little worried. Without the antidote, how long would it take for his meridians to shatter and him to die?
"Don't worry, if he doesn't take the antidote, although it will get worse, he won't die that quickly. It will take ten or eight years for him to die. By then, I should have found the Soul-Locking Grass."
"Then you must be careful. It's a pity that I have to watch the City Lord. Otherwise, I'd accompany you, and it would be safer."
"It's fine. I'll ask Lang Qi Hua to accompany me. She's a second-rank Demon King, so she should be of some help."
"Okay."
Zhou Hong set off immediately. The sooner he found the Soul-Locking Grass, the better.
Thus, Zhou Hong arrived at Lang Qi Hua's residence.
Lang Qi Hua's expression was not good when she saw Zhou Hong. Although she had chosen to surrender to Zhou Hong, it didn't mean she had no feelings towards him.
"What is it?" Lang Qi Hua asked.
"Lang Qi Hua, I'm going to the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range. Can you come with me?"
"What are you going there for?" Lang Qi Hua was a little displeased.
"To find something called Soul-Locking Grass."
"Never heard of it."
"It doesn't matter, just accompany me. My cultivation level is only second-rank Demon Master, so it's a bit dangerous to go alone. It would be great if you could accompany me."
"But I'm still very weak now. Ask Hei Lan to accompany you." Lang Qi Hua politely refused.
"Your strength is greater than his. Moreover, you have to get the antidote from me every month. If I go alone, I don't know when I'll be back. What if I don't return for ten or eight years? Wouldn't you...!"
Lang Qi Hua's brows furrowed. Zhou Hong was threatening her.
"Fine, I'll accompany you." Lang Qi Hua could only grit her teeth and agree.
"Then let's go. We'll depart now."
Helplessly, Lang Qi Hua had no choice but to follow Zhou Hong and fly into the sky, rushing towards the Immortal-Demon Mountain Range.
Lang Qi Hua took out a flying sword from her person, and her speed increased several times as she stepped on it.
If Zhou Hong wanted to achieve a faster speed, he would also have to take out his magic weapon, which would also speed him up.
However, Zhou Hong did not have ordinary magic weapons. He only had two: one was the Immortal Abode, and the other was the Demon Subduing Pestle. Both of these demon treasures were of high grade, reaching third rank. The strength of demon treasures was divided into nine ranks, with first rank being the lowest and ninth rank being the highest. Therefore, Zhou Hong's third rank was considered a relatively strong demon weapon.
At this moment, the flying sword that Lang Qi Hua was stepping on was just a second-rank demon artifact. It was unclear what it was made of. It exuded black light all over, and it looked like that black light possessed strong corrosive properties. As it came into contact with the air, even the air corroded with a sizzling sound, as if there were sparks of electricity flashing within.
Zhou Hong hesitated for a moment and took out his Demon Subduing Pestle. Sometimes, he needed to show off.
As expected, when Zhou Hong took out the Demon Subduing Pestle, Lang Qi Hua was immediately shocked. She had been somewhat proud earlier, stepping on a second-rank demon artifact, and wanted to show Zhou Hong what a demon artifact was. After all, a Demon Master like Zhou Hong usually didn't even have a demon artifact, or at most, the lowest grade first-rank one.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Hong took out a stronger demon artifact than hers the next second, and it was a very famous one, the Demon Subduing Pestle.
"Demon Subduing Pestle? How did you get it?" Lang Qi Hua asked in disbelief.
"Why can't I have it?" Zhou Hong snorted slightly. Stepping on the Demon Subduing Pestle, it was like stepping on a giant embroidery needle. The embroidery needle broke through the air, moving extremely fast, even faster than Lang Qi Hua.
Zhou Hong slowed down his speed, and only then did Lang Qi Hua catch up. Her eyes looked at Zhou Hong's Demon Subduing Pestle, and a hint of greed flashed in them. But the next second, she let out a helpless wry smile. If she hadn't been controlled by Zhou Hong, she definitely wouldn't have been able to control herself and would have attacked Zhou Hong to kill him and take the Demon Subduing Pestle for herself. But now, she could only think about it.
"What? Envious?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile. Lang Qi Hua's greedy expression had not escaped Zhou Hong's eyes.
"Indeed, I had the thought of snatching it just now. But don't worry, my life is in your hands now. Even if I had the thought, I wouldn't dare." Lang Qi Hua did not deny it and spoke frankly.
"Hehe, you're quite honest. You don't even try to hide it."
"Since you asked me, you naturally saw through my thoughts. Is there any need to hide it?"
Zhou Hong asked curiously, "Why does everyone recognize my Demon Subduing Pestle when they see it? Is my Demon Subduing Pestle really that famous? If it's so famous, why is it only a third-rank demon artifact?"
"Because the Demon Subduing Pestle was refined and used by a very famous demon cultivator in the demon realm. It cost hundreds of millions of souls. Its owner, the Demon Subduing Elder, cruelly slaughtered beings to refine this Demon Subduing Pestle. In hundreds of years, he killed hundreds of millions of living beings and made enemies everywhere. Therefore, it became famous even before it was refined. In addition, the Demon Subduing Pestle is indeed a very excellent demon artifact. It is said that it can transform freely and has infinite uses. Later, the Demon Subduing Elder relied solely on this demon artifact to create a powerful demonic sect. Do you think anyone who sees it wouldn't recognize it? After all, its appearance is so peculiar, like a giant embroidery needle. Although it's only a third-rank demon artifact, it doesn't mean anything. If the Demon Subduing Elder hadn't been killed, it would probably have risen to the fourth rank."
"Haha." Zhou Hong let out a laugh.
