"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

"Junior Brother Wujiu is a great talent, far beyond me!"

Lu Wuchen was overjoyed, clapping his hands and cheering, "Now, using the name Xiong Wu to commit misdeeds in the West Wilderness and frame the Ancient Blood Demon Race, creating chaos. In just over a hundred years, not just Xiong Wu, but even the entire Ancient Blood Bear Race will be disgraced, and Xiong Wu will be chased out wherever he goes."

"In this situation, I don't expect Xiong Wu to linger in the West Wilderness."

"So I've already entrusted Master Jade Blade to return to the West Sea coast to set defenses, preventing Xiong Wu from escaping overseas, across the South Wilderness."

"As for the North Sea direction, I personally oversee it, to stop Wang Wu from escaping to the North Wilderness. Its only place to go is the east. It naively thinks it can slip into our Human Race Territory and blend in, evading justice. How immature!"

"Especially now with Junior Brother Wujiu's array, it's all the more foolproof! Within a hundred years, the little bear will surely meet its end!"

"Alas, come to think of it, it's preposterous, that a mere sixth-grade minor demon has troubled two Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivators, Xiong Wu could die satisfied."

Lu Wuchen was quite emotional.

However, Junior Brother Wujiu suddenly frowned, "Senior Brother Wuchen, don't go too far. Killing the West Wilderness Demon Race is one thing, but you're indiscriminately slaughtering the Human Race mortals, even under Xiong Wu's name, is still inappropriate. Have you forgotten the Immortal Alliance's admonishment to you last time?"

"I haven't forgotten, how could I! My heart feels like it's been torn apart, still bleeding, I'm so guilty that I can't sleep at night, my conscience is uneasy! But great achievers ignore minor details, the West Wilderness situation can't afford any lapses, and luckily, once we eliminate Xiong Wu, good days will come, just let the lower mortals and cultivators suffer a bit more, they'll understand."

Junior Brother Wujiu looked deeply at Lu Wuchen, saying nothing more, because he finally understood what Lu Wuchen wanted.

He was taking the path of great heaven repairing.

——

After Wang Wu left that giant city about eight hundred miles behind, the inexplicable unease in his heart finally dissipated.

At this point, he couldn't resist looking back, gazing in the direction of the giant city, lost in thought. His survival in the world depended on two great talents: Passive Concealment and Danger Perception.

Since his three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills had all advanced, his Passive Concealment increased by 0.2 levels, and Danger Perception by 0.1.

Though it seems like a tiny increase, at critical moments, it's that tiny edge that could make him narrowly escape danger.

But aside from that, he needed to use his wits.

"The traitorous Snake Guards are likely already captured and interrogated, so my biggest weakness now is the Snake Guard Mark embedded in my bloodline, impossible to remove. If experts like Lu Wuchen catch a few more Snake Guards and forcibly activate the Snake Guard Mark to perceive me at each location, or if there's an array to amplify this effect, even breaking through with the Overlord Body, I'd still be exposed."

"If further, the Human Race has brilliant minds who can crack the Snake Guard Mark and use it as an array core, deploying one in every city. I'd be trapped wherever I go."

"This is troublesome."

After pondering a while, Wang Wu felt even the Human Race Territory wasn't too safe anymore, it's lost its appeal.

"I might as well head to the South Wilderness, where the Demon Race is said to be very powerful..."

"But the South Wilderness is too far, I know nothing about it, if someone sets up ambushes in key locations, I'd have no escape."

"Forget it, I'll just stay in the West Wilderness!"

After weighing it repeatedly, Wang Wu finally decided to hide away for two or three hundred years.

It was also a good opportunity to accumulate strength. If he could refine She Shoujiu's Bright Demon Pill, he might continue to upgrade his Snake Affinity, resolving the crisis of the Snake Guard Mark.

At this moment, Wang Wu decisively retraced his steps, bypassing the giant city, twelve permanent works, and the Great Snow Mountain. Finally, he randomly found an inconspicuous small hill, about twenty or thirty meters high, and a few kilometers in radius, between the Great Snow Mountain and Heavenly Dao Mountain, to settle down.

Well, this could be called claiming a mountain to be king.

Naturally, this place was also littered with Little Demons, various tribes sparring for better positions and resources, fighting, ambushing, and feuding in every imaginable way, much like in the old days.

Wang Wu didn't disturb these Little Demons, simply summoned the Companion Demon Vine, letting a small sprout emerge from the ground, like a newly budding lotus.

The Little Demons paid no mind, and after a few rains, the sprout grew into an ordinary bush.

Only then did Wang Wu employ the Inner Breathing Technique, circulating his Qi and Blood, activating the Ruyi Body Technique, shrinking himself to the size of a mouse.

Then he took out the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, murmured a spell, and he truly transformed into a field mouse.

The transformation was flawless.

In this place, it was indeed a Dimensional Strike.

In fact, unless encountering First, Second, or Third Grade Human Race Cultivators or Great Demons, Wang Wu's Way of Transformation could roam freely in Fourth Grade or below environments.

Unfortunately, he had provoked an unbeatable existence.

Feeling his reduced body, Wang Wu didn't feel any discomfort.

Under the effects of the Ruyi Body Technique, unless entering battle or moving rapidly, the energy consumption wasn't much, about a point of vitality per hour.

Furthermore, it didn't interfere with his cultivation of qi and blood circulation, nor did it hinder his practice of the ice and fire spirit root. However, if he wanted to cultivate his lifebound demon soldiers, he had to revert to his bear form.

Next, Wang Wu gave an order to the companion demon vine, and in three seconds it blossomed, in three seconds it bore fruit, and in no time at all, nine fruits were produced.

Wang Wu took these nine fruits and briskly ran through the grass, first planting four seeds in four different directions within a ten-mile radius.

Then he planted five seeds in five different directions within a twenty-mile radius.

This was a new talent added after the companion demon vine upgraded to fourth grade, allowing for a certain degree of early warning in the surrounding area, reaching up to a twenty-mile radius.

If Wang Wu slightly loosened the restrictions, the reconnaissance and early warning range could be extended to at least a fifty-mile radius.

But that's not possible; Wang Wu wouldn't relax the permissions of the companion demon vine.

Moreover, he didn't believe that the companion demon vine's warning mode would be effective against targets above third grade; he had to rely on his danger perception for that.

However, for mere rustlings of leaves, it was more than enough.

Because sometimes when he practiced the ice and fire spirit root, he would enter a state of oblivion, so he needed some means for early warning.

After that, Wang Wu returned to the shrubbery, which was formed by the companion demon vine. This was his cave dwelling, mobile and concealable.

He had calculated that the concealment effect of the shrubbery formed by the companion demon vine could reach level 10 in a forest filled with grass and trees.

So in most cases, he could cultivate confidently and freely within it, even doing alchemy and such.

Besides, the companion demon vine could collect spiritual qi for Wang Wu, sharing it equally between them, with the companion demon vine paying a part of the taxes; it was quite good anyway.

He could harvest around 500 points of spiritual qi daily.

Of course, this was Wang Wu's cautious approach; otherwise, with the current level of the companion demon vine, if it were to absorb freely, it could fill up all the lands within a twenty-mile radius.

Wherever it went, it would be scorched earth!

But it wasn't necessary; he wanted to cultivate the spirit of thrift and perseverance in the companion demon vine from a young age!

This time, Wang Wu's main focus was on cultivating the ice and fire dual spirit roots. In the past twenty years, he had been constantly on the move, from Centipede Ridge to the Evil Wind Desert, then to the Bee Palace, and on to Shaman Village.

Occasionally, he'd settle down, focusing on enhancing his demon pill.

The ice and fire dual spirit root had almost been neglected and forgotten.

Retreating like this felt really good.

In a blink of an eye, several years had passed, and Wang Wu was making good progress in his cultivation here.

The cultivation progress of the ice and fire spirit root had reached 40/50. In a few more years, he would definitely be able to cultivate an intermediate ice and fire spirit root.

During these years, there were not a few high-tier demon race or human race cultivators passing by, including some human race warriors gathering herbs and hunting. They were quite adept at capturing those unranked little demons and very enthusiastic about it.

Because these unranked little demons are a great supplement to mortals, and cultivating a child with the potential to tread the cultivation path requires talent, resources, and effort, all three elements are indispensable.

In short, competition is the norm.

Wang Wu ignored all of this entirely; his companion demon vine's concealment effect was quite good, at least it had never been exposed.

In the autumn of that year, the whole mountain was filled with red leaves, the air was brisk and clear, the scenery was nice, and Wang Wu was in retreat when suddenly the branches of the companion demon vine issued a warning.

In the next second, a scene appeared before Wang Wu's eyes: in the southeast direction, twenty miles away, near the warning system labeled number nine, a little white fox was hopping around joyfully as if taking credit, while not far away, a human race cultivator was approaching quickly.

"Xiao Bai, what did you find this time? This is just an ordinary shrub..."

"That's not true, Master. This is a warning branch of the devil vine. I bet that within a hundred-mile radius, there is at least one devil vine with cultivation of at least fourth grade, because only a fourth-grade devil vine would produce a warning branch demon vine!"

The little white fox hopped around, taking credit in a cute, childlike voice.

Mad, you can even distinguish a fourth-grade demon vine, using old tricks in new paint, trying to act cute!

Wang Wu cursed inwardly, while his intent to kill rose.

These spirit beasts were truly annoying, racing through the mountains with extensive knowledge, practically natural-born guides.

"Eh? A fourth-grade demon vine! Xiao Bai, are you sure?"

A human race cultivator quickly approached, still somewhat in disbelief.

And behind him, another human race cultivator laughed and said:

"A fourth-grade demon vine? Are you joking? This place was devastated thirty years ago. In just thirty years, no demon vine could possibly grow to fourth grade unless it migrated here from elsewhere."
