Chapter 1382: Chapter 559: Escape [Please Subscribe]_2

This is undoubtedly the best news.

After contemplating for a while, Zhou Chun suppressed miscellaneous thoughts and patiently sat in meditation to comprehend the "Metal Escape Technique" divine skill.

The underground palace is the lair of the Zhongxuan Demon King. To avoid exposing the existence of the Purifying Heavenly Vessel, Zhou Chun certainly would not meditate and cultivate here.

Thus, with the remaining time, he could only focus on comprehending the divine skills.

Finally, after waiting for more than a month, Mu Mei Mu Sang, who had been brought by the Zhongxuan Demon King for a feast, returned together to the underground palace.

Upon returning to the underground palace, the Zhongxuan Demon King couldn’t help but glance at Zhou Chun and then nodded slightly, saying, "You, junior, are quite sensible. You actually restrained yourself from moving!"

"Do you have any other instructions, senior? Is it possible to let this junior leave now?"

Zhou Chun said softly with lowered eyebrows, once again asking about leaving.

Not to mention that Luo Qingni was still outside waiting for him, he also needed to return to the Zhou Family to continue teaching his disciples. He absolutely must not miss the best period for education.

Therefore, he was very eager to leave this place now.

The Zhongxuan Demon King spoke slowly, "Letting you, this junior, leave is not impossible, but to prevent any tricks on the spiritual contract, this king will have to leave something on you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun became immediately vigilant.

He said instantly, "Senior, you’re overthinking it. I always see the stone as family, how could I use the spiritual contract to harm it?"

He looked sincerely at the Zhongxuan Demon King and continued, "Besides, knowing that doing such a thing would anger you, senior, why would I do something so unwise now that I’m out of danger!"

"Heh, do you think this king will believe your word alone? Even if you don’t harm that little turtle, you could still avoid this king, and then who would undo the spiritual contract on the little turtle?"

The Zhongxuan Demon King, with a cold smile on its face, clearly did not trust Zhou Chun’s words.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun could only say helplessly again, "Senior, if you are not at ease, I can make a heart vow: if I don’t return to meet you before reaching the Golden Core Late Stage, let me never break through the Golden Core Late Stage. How about that?"

"A heart vow, eh?"

The Zhongxuan Demon King looked at Zhou Chun, beginning to ponder.

It indeed had a deep understanding of human clan cultivators; otherwise, it couldn’t have firmly held Zhou Chun before.

Therefore, it also knew that for some potential human clan cultivators, placing life-controlling restrictions could affect their heart vow, making it difficult for them to progress further.

If it didn’t care about Zhou Chun’s future achievements, doing this would be fine.

However, in its heart, it did want to use Zhou Chun for some things, which Zhou Chun, with his current cultivation level, wasn’t yet capable of doing.

So if Zhou Chun’s heart vow was clouded by the means left by it, clouding his courage for progress, it actually wouldn’t serve its interests.

After pondering for a long while, it finally nodded and said, "Alright then, this king will trust you this once, just make your heart vow."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun breathed a deep sigh of relief and immediately made the vow in front of the Zhongxuan Demon King.

Having made the vow, Zhou Chun eagerly looked at the Zhongxuan Demon King and asked, "The vow has been made, senior. Can you let this junior leave now?"

Upon hearing this, the Zhongxuan Demon King waved its hand impatiently, saying, "Fine. Since you are so eager to leave, this king has no time to keep you!"

Then it looked at Zhou Chun with a cold glint in its eyes and said, "But remember, from breaking through the Fourth Order to succeeding in carrying the mountain, it should take no more than a hundred years. So if you don’t return within a hundred years, don’t blame this king for breaking his promise!"

"I will remember, junior will not forget the agreement with you, senior."

Zhou Chun nodded solemnly in agreement.

"In that case, you may leave!"

The Zhongxuan Demon King said, then swept its sleeve, casting a yellow light to envelop Zhou Chun, instantly cutting off all his perceptions of the external world.

When the yellow light dissipated, he found himself on a certain peak on the outskirts of Misty Immortal Mountain.

And besides Mu Mei Mu Sang by his side, there was unexpectedly a storage pouch stained with blood at his feet!

"This is..."

Zhou Chun looked at the storage pouch at his feet, with a flash of uncertain surprise on his face.

Beside him, Mu Mei Mu Sang lowered its head at this time and explained some circumstances to him through their mind connection.

It turned out that previously, when the Zhongxuan Demon King took it to absorb the wood spirit power contained in high-level spirit woods, he also asked it about Zhou Chun, including why Zhou Chun entered Misty Immortal Mountain.

And now, the storage pouch under Zhou Chun’s feet belonged to the Golden Core Elder of the Earth Fire Sect who died under the hands of the Carrying Mountain Bear and Earth Armored Swine.

This was originally a rule set by the Zhongxuan Demon King: any storage pouch obtained by high-level demon beasts in the mountains that killed Third Order and above human clan cultivators must be handed over to a fixed location outside its palace, to be managed by one of its trusted subordinates.

Then, whenever it had the time, it would open and inspect the accumulated storage pouches.

The storage pouch of that Earth Fire Sect elder had not yet been opened by the Zhongxuan Demon King, and the divine sense imprint of its original owner was still inside.
