This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

"Just a mere object in exchange for the lives of these two fawns, you aren't reluctant to part with it, are you?" Golden Snake Granny saw that Qingqiu Mountain Master remained unmoved, her eyebrows raised in a mock, "Could it be that your cultivation is more important to you than the lives of these two fawns?"

Qingqiu Mountain Master did not respond, his expression continuously changing.

"Since you are unwilling to exchange the Primordial Spirit Embryo for the lives of these two deer demons, don't blame me for being merciless!" Golden Snake Granny said sinisterly as she waved her left hand.

Crack! Crack!

The golden giant snake constricted its body with more force, and the bones of Mimi and Yaoyao made a disturbing noise at once. Under the tremendous power of the giant snake, both fawns were now suffocating, their eyes bulging out in extreme discomfort.

Golden Snake Granny stared intently at Qingqiu Mountain Master's Primordial Spirit, her face becoming increasingly brutal.

"Stop it," Qingqiu Mountain Master sighed softly in his heart before speaking, "I will give you the Primordial Spirit Embryo."

"You've already mastered the Immortal True Intent, a Primordial Spirit Embryo is nothing to you even if you give it to me," Golden Snake Granny said, nodding her head with satisfaction now that Qingqiu Mountain Master had acceded, a vicious gleam flashing in her eyes.

She waved at the golden giant snake, which somewhat reluctantly loosened its coils, allowing Mimi and Yaoyao to catch their breath.

Golden Snake Granny's eyes were ablaze as she looked at Qingqiu Mountain Master.

Since he had decided to exchange the Primordial Spirit Embryo for Mimi and Yaoyao, Qingqiu Mountain Master made no further moves.

He waved his hand gently.

On the peach tree adorned with golden veins and enveloped by an aura of chilling cold, a splendid dazzling green light gleamed at the center.

Through the massive trunk, its shape became visible.

"That is the Primordial Spirit Embryo you want," Qingqiu Mountain Master said quietly.

Above the trunk, now ridden with the venom of the spirit of the golden-threaded snake, he was unable to return to his original place, naturally unable to control his own body, and so the Primordial Spirit Embryo could only be taken by Golden Snake Granny herself.

A shadow emerged, as Golden Snake Granny, ghost-like, moved silently to the front of the peach tree.

Yet, as Golden Snake Granny moved, Qingqiu Mountain Master subtly glanced at the golden giant snake using the corner of his eye.

Behind the giant snake, a grey shadow was approaching silently.

Standing in front of the peach tree, Golden Snake Granny made a chopping motion with her still-intact left hand, which flowed with a daunting golden luster, like a sharp knife, she sliced through the bark and reached inside. All the golden threads recoiled the moment she reached in.

Golden Snake Granny effortlessly retrieved the piece of Taoist Jade.

It was a crystal-clear jade, nearly invisible with its fluid changes, veiled in a divine radiance, enigmatic with the Profound Mysteries of the Dao – complex and difficult to comprehend.

However, within the Taoist Jade, there was a flickering green hue, shimmering incessantly as if a heart continuously beating.

Countless faint threads were connecting this green hue with the very essence of Qingqiu Mountain Master's body.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Golden Snake Granny laughed in a strange manner upon seeing this, her laughter growing more insane and eventually mixed with a touch of desolation, "Foolish! Foolish! Are all of you from the Demon Clan this foolish?!"

"Your life essence is already integrated with the Primordial Spirit Embryo. To give it away is to offer up your own life. Just for these two children of Yun Meng, these two deer demons who are unrelated to you, you're willing to give up your own life?"

Originally, Qingqiu Mountain Master was just an ordinary peach tree, but by chance, its roots reached the Primordial Spirit Embryo hidden deep beneath Qingqiu, thereby gradually awakening its Spiritual Nature. Under the mysteries of the Taoist Jade, it grew into a Great Demon of plants and trees.

At the same time, its life essence continued flowing into the Taoist Jade, fusing completely with it, Gradually changing the jade's nature. The Primordial Spirit Embryo at this time seemed more like an extraordinary Spirit Material.

"Yun Meng?" the Qingqiu Mountain Master furrowed his brows upon hearing this, then quickly realized, "You know Yaoyao and Mimi's mother?!"

Golden Snake Granny did not respond; her beautiful face was filled with madness and ferocity. "Good! Good! Good! Since you all value affection and loyalty so much, then I shall grant you that wish!"

Golden Snake Granny's eyes were full of Han Yi. She tightly gripped the Taoist Jade in her hand; the gold light flashed again, winding around those strands of hair, dissolving them completely.

As each strand of hair was being cut, the Qingqiu Mountain Master's Primordial Spirit started to flicker incessantly, gradually becoming illusory.

"Qingqiu Grandpa..." Mimi watched this scene, murmuring continuously, as tears fell from her bright, large eyes while she called out weakly under the gold serpent's restrictive bindings.

The beautiful woman ignored her, eyes fixated on the Taoist Jade in her hands, a boundless fervor flickering within.

Bang!

Just then, on the other side, two blood-red beams flickered into existence, striking the unsuspecting golden serpent.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

As if containing endless might, the beams instantly penetrated the serpent's scale armor, leaving two bloody holes on its body.

In extreme pain, the golden serpent instinctively let out a deep roar, and its body relaxed. Mimi and Yaoyao momentarily escaped from the golden serpent's clutches.

A fleeting shadow dashed by, sweeping up a fierce wind, whirling around Mimi and Yaoyao, who disappeared from their spot in an instant.

When the shadow finally settled, it revealed a fierce demon beast with the body of a tiger and the head of a lion.

It was the great oaf.

It set Mimi and Yaoyao down gently, who it had been carrying in its mouth.

"This move is called 'Light of the Righteous Path'!" King Rat of the West's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils still had remnants of powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations, and he glanced at the gold serpent that was emitting an angry roar, boasting arrogantly.

The two red beams were the Divine Skills it had unleashed, abilities it had awakened after receiving the Demon Spirit inheritance.

However, King Rat of the West only dared to show off for a moment. Seeing Mimi and Yaoyao free from the clutches of evil, he hurriedly pushed off with his four short legs and scampered away as the golden serpent had yet to react.

The golden serpent was a Third Grade Demon Beast. By employing Divine Skills, it could indeed deal a heavy blow to the golden serpent if done unexpectedly.

But to say it truly wanted to fight it head-on?

That would be overestimating the rat!

King Rat of the West quickly retreated back to Lu Qingshan's side, excitedly seeking approval, "Lu Qingshan, did I do well?"

"Well done!" Lu Qingshan's face lit up with joy, sparing no praise.

The Qingqiu Mountain Master was not unable to defeat Golden Snake Granny; it was only because Mimi and Yaoyao had fallen into someone else's hands that he was compelled to submit.

Golden Snake Granny was a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, and he could not contest her sharp edge.

Yet the Third Grade golden serpent was not unbeatable.

King Rat of the West was skilled at hiding his presence, the great oaf was incredibly fast, and the Qingqiu Mountain Master used the Taoist Jade to separate Golden Snake Granny from the golden serpent.

With the coordination of the three, they executed a flawless cooperation, rescuing Mimi and Yaoyao from the clutches of the demon beast.
