Chapter 778: Return a Favor With a Favor
Tao Seal!
Another Tao Seal!
Hearing these two words again, Jiang Yun’s heart was no longer shocked but instead incredibly calm.
Ever since leaving Mang Mountains, all the mysteries surrounding me are closely linked to these two words!
Now, even the truth about Dao Prison is somehow related to Tao Seal.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun calmly continued to ask, "My Taoist friend, is there more?"
But Hou Muran shook his head and said, "There is nothing more!"
"I only heard about this incident by chance from a very old senior in my sect, who mentioned just this much and then fell silent immediately, as if there was some great taboo."
"At that time, I never imagined that one day I would be sent to Dao Prison. Otherwise, I would have tried my best to find out more clues about Tao Seal and Dao Prison."
With that, Hou Muran stopped talking and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
Originally, Jiang Yun thought he would learn more truths from Hou Muran, but to his surprise, Hou Muran also only knew this much.
Although this left Jiang Yun somewhat disappointed, he could only return a wry smile at Hou Muran’s experience.
"Let’s continue our previous topic!"
After a short silence, Hou Muran continued, "I am not sure how many worlds there are on the seven layers of Dao Prison, but among the three known worlds, each one is suppressing a powerful being."
"The place we are in right now, known as the trial ground, was actually specially created to detain them, in a separate space!"
"Although they are suppressed, they have not died, so they are very aware of everything happening here."
Hou Muran’s words reminded Jiang Yun of the void space from before, the countless Blood Crystals, and especially the giant "镇" character rune made of Tao Marks!
Now, he finally understood.
It turns out, the greatest demon suppressed in this Blood Path World is that blood demon!
Naturally, the reason for hearing that sigh earlier and constantly feeling watched since entering this world all stemmed from that blood demon.
Just as Hou Muran mentioned, even though they are suppressed and sealed, they are still alive.
"Okay, I’ve said all I can say. I don’t know anything else. Remember, a favor to save a life is never forgotten! Goodbye!"
At that moment, Hou Muran stood up, bowed to Jiang Yun again, and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
But Jiang Yun called out to Hou Muran, "Your body has almost depleted its spirit energy, and even the poison inside can’t be suppressed anymore. If you trust me, I can help you remove some of the poison from your body!"
Hou Muran was chased by five disciples of the Dao San Palace for two days, then he even killed a fighter of the ninth level of Earth Protection Realm, and finally escaped with Jiang Yun for another two days. This led to him setting up this large formation, so now his spirit energy is almost exhausted.
Although Jiang Yun believed that Hou Muran might have other ways to stay alive, he still decided to help him out.
Hou Muran frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Yun with a puzzled expression.
Clearly, he had never encountered a cultivator like Jiang Yun before, who not only saved him but also wanted to help him remove the poison from his body.
Jiang Yun continued, "I have a good relationship with the Golden Toad clan, so I know their detoxification methods!"
The way the Golden Toad clan detoxifies may seem magical to outsiders, but once revealed, it’s actually nothing special, especially to Jiang Yun, who is also a pharmacist.
"Why are you helping me?" Hou Muran pondered before speaking.
"Your current condition is somewhat related to me, and I am also a disciple of the Seeking-Tao Sect, one of the Nine Great Dao Sects. We are kindred spirits in a way!"
Jiang Yun’s response made Hou Muran’s face change slightly. Even though they had been chatting for a while, Hou Muran had not asked for Jiang Yun’s name and background, so he never expected Jiang Yun to be part of the Nine Great Dao Sects.
After hesitating for a moment, Hou Muran nodded and said, "I’ll rely on you, Taoist friend!"
Jiang Yun then took out a Detox Pill, crushed half of it, and used the method of pill turning into mist to help Hou Muran remove the toxins from his body.
An hour later, Jiang Yun not only helped Hou Muran eliminate many toxins from his body but also gave him a Spirit-Enhancing Pill.
Holding the Spirit-Enhancing Pill, Hou Muran suddenly smiled and said, "I used to be a bit like you!"
While speaking, he threw a jade slip to Jiang Yun and said, "You saved me twice, and I have nothing to repay you. Here are some of my personal insights on formations, including Xue Mucheng’s Nine Snow Loop Array!"
The young man was a disciple of the Nine Great Dao Sects and had a noble heart.
However, being in the Dao Prison changed him. He became distrustful and wary of everyone.
Jiang Yun’s actions touched him deeply, reminding him of his old self, even though Jiang Yun had his own reasons.
He gave the jade slip to Jiang Yun as a token of gratitude, hoping to pass on his knowledge of the Dao in case he died one day.
Jiang Yun was surprised when he received the jade slip. He had never expected any repayment from the young man, knowing the value of the jade slip.
The jade slip was not only beneficial for him but also a great opportunity for his disciple, Liu Peng.
Hou Muran grinned and asked, "By the way, what’s your name, brother?"
"I am Jiang Yun from the Seeking-Tao Sect!"
"I am Hou Muran from the Zhen Dao Sect!"
The two friends greeted each other again and smiled at each other. Hou Muran said, "Since that’s the case, Brother Jiang, shall we go together to the Nine Blood Tower?"
"I can’t," Jiang Yun politely declined. "I have some personal matters to attend to. Brother Hou can go first, and we’ll meet again at the Nine Blood Tower."
Although Jiang Yun really wanted to go with Hou Muran, he thought about needing to be careful of Yue Qing, which might put Hou Muran in danger, so he refused.
Jiang Yun’s refusal made a hint of dissatisfaction flash in Hou Muran’s eyes, though it was hard to notice.
Clearly, after Jiang Yun helped him remove poison and shared his formation insights, Hou Muran had already considered Jiang Yun a trustworthy friend.
In this challenging place, if the two of them could travel together, they would be much safer and greatly increase their chances of reaching the central location.
However, he didn’t expect Jiang Yun to refuse, which shattered the good feelings Hou Muran had just developed towards Jiang Yun.
Even though he thought this way, Hou Muran didn’t show any expression on his face and nodded, saying, "Alright, we’ll meet again later!"
Despite Hou Muran’s disguise, Jiang Yun’s sharp eyes could not miss that hint of dissatisfaction in Hou Muran’s eyes.
Jiang Yun understood that the other person misunderstood him, but he felt it was best not to explain too much. He could only say helplessly, "Brother Hou, let’s leave here together!"
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the large formation. Hou Muran bowed to Jiang Yun and said, "Goodbye!"
Jiang Yun also raised his clenched fist, but at that moment, he suddenly saw a very inconspicuous black small flying insect above his head!
At first, Jiang Yun didn’t pay attention to the small flying insect, but suddenly his body stiffened!
This is the place where the blood demon is suppressed. How could there be any small flying insects here?
