Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 606: Chapter 418: Transaction_3

Jiang Hui’s eyes were slightly squinted, with a dazzling gleam like shining stars flickering incessantly in his bright pupils.

“If what you say is true, then this person must be a loyal servant of the influential figure you mentioned. But why would he be sealed here, living a life that is not that of a human nor a ghost!?”

Being assigned with critical tasks repeatedly by Ao Sheng indicates that the Taoist-shaped black shadow is deeply trusted. However, it ended up being sealed in the corner of the world, weak and lifeless, leaving behind only a former smudgy imprint.

The situation of the other is different from that of the Willow God.

The Willow God deliberately left his imprint.

But the former was passive, seemingly having his physical form destroyed and having his soul forcibly sealed in this place.

The situation of the other was even more miserable than that of the black-haired man. If it is as the man said, such a situation should not have occurred.

“It might be hard for you to believe, but he was subsequently assigned a very secretive task by that important person. However, he messed it up. Plus, that person only knew to shift the blame, which eventually angered the important person.

As for what matter it was, I’m afraid I can’t say as it involves another important figure. Once I mention it, he will notice. I acknowledge your power is not weak, but you would still not be able to bear the consequences!”

The black-haired man, disheveled, with some rusty thick iron chains attached to him, clashed together, making a series of crisp sounds.@@novelbin@@

Jiang Hui contemplated for a moment before finally speaking: “To be honest, given your descriptions, there should be few who would believe your words!”

He doesn’t possess the Mind Reading Technique, but he felt that the other party’s words were too childish.

Ao Sheng, after all, is a big shot. Would he resort to such a method to threaten a mere True Immortal?

This is like an adult dealing with a newborn baby. If the former wants the latter to do something, all he needs to do is take action. There’s no need for these messy tactics.

“Master, I also suspect he’s lying to us!” the Red-Haired Monster yelled out.

“Young man, do you think this is your place to yell? Just based on your disbelief, I could kill you on the spot!!”

The black-haired man glared fiercely at the Red-Haired Monster, the meaning in his gaze enigmatic.

The Red-Haired Monster was immediately scared into trembling, then quickly hid behind Jiang Hui, taking a few deep breaths before feeling a bit more secure.

“I didn’t deceive you, and I have no reason to make up such elaborate lies. If you don’t believe me, then there’s nothing more I can say.”

After looking away, the black-haired man turned his gaze back to Jiang Hui and continued speaking.

The man’s expression seemed as if it hadn’t changed since ancient times, his voice cold. For Jiang Hui, it was challenging to judge the veracity of his previous words from these detailed nuances.

However, he’s not usually a person who likes to overthink.

According to the man’s description, this black-haired man should be extraordinarily devoted. After all, he would face any risk for his beloved. That said, the truth is yet unknown.

But no matter what, if he wants to take away the Tree of All Paths, it would inevitably lead to a conflict.

The duty of the black-haired man is to protect the Tree of All Paths.

And he is the person who seeks to seize it.

So, he seemed… not to need to care about the truth at all.

“How about we make a deal?”

As Jiang Hui was deep in thought, the black-haired man suddenly proposed.

“What kind of deal?”

“If you let me go from this place, I can tell you the way to the Immortal Domain. While your energy is robust, it lacks the Fairy Dao Rule inside. Presumably, you haven’t truly achieved immortality yet. This place is no longer suitable for cultivation. If you want to achieve immortality in this life, you must go to the Immortal Domain!”
