Chapter 2309: Chapter 2309: Return to Black Cloud City!

Of course, as Zhou Yu left, he also took Yu Ruo with him.

A few hours later, the figures of Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo appeared on the top of a mountain peak.

Standing at the peak, they could already see the outline of Black Cloud City.

At this moment, Yu Ruo’s face was extremely pale.

Although Zhou Yu had brought her along the way, the terrifying speed was something a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like her could hardly withstand.

Finally, they had escaped.

Her tense heart could finally relax.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou, for saving me. Otherwise, this little girl might not have made it back."

Zhou Yu gave a faint smile.

"No problem."

"It was just a small matter."

"Since Daoist Yu is safe now, let us part ways here."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruo immediately said:

"Okay."

"This little girl will listen to Senior Zhou."

"By the way, Senior Zhou, could you hand over the demon beast’s inner core to this little girl now?"

"Before I can repair the cloak, I still need to do some preparation work."

Zhou Yu nodded, then waved his hand.

As a jade box flew towards Yu Ruo.

Yu Ruo caught the jade box but did not open it immediately, instead she looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Senior Zhou, for trusting this little girl."

"The inner core of this demon beast is indeed a priceless treasure."

Zhou Yu gave a faint smile.

"I have, after all, come to know Daoist Yu a little."

"Naturally, I trust you."

Yu Ruo said with a smile:

"Senior, this little girl needs about a month to prepare. In a month, I will certainly not disappoint you."

"Alright."

With that, Zhou Yu’s figure flickered and he headed towards Black Cloud City first.

While Yu Ruo stood on the mountaintop watching Zhou Yu’s figure disappear.

After Zhou Yu’s figure completely vanished, the purple phantom reappeared in front of Yu Ruo.

Seeing the purple phantom, Yu Ruo showed a look of delight.

"You’re awake, are you alright?"

Since leaving Wind Qilin Cave, she had encountered quite a bit of trouble.

With her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, moving in the outskirts of Black Gold Canyon was truly difficult.

Fortunately, this purple phantom had helped her.

Because of this, the purple phantom was greatly overexerted.

The purple phantom spoke:

"I’m fine, but the exertion was too much, and I won’t be able to use my power for quite a while."

"Be cautious during this time."

Yu Ruo nodded and then showed a look of regret.

"This time at Wind Qilin Cave, returning empty-handed is indeed such a pity."

"But it’s good to have returned safely."

The purple phantom said:

"Well, if it’s not successful this time, there can be another chance."

"But that Zhou Yu guy, his strength is indeed quite formidable."

"Even I haven’t seen such a deeply hidden Human Race cultivator."

"This young man will surely become a Great Power in the future."

"You should befriend him."

Yu Ruo nodded.

"Yes, I will."

"Moreover, during this time, I will find another way to help you quickly improve your cultivation."

"You should also be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruo’s face immediately showed excitement.

"Could it be, there’s another Wind Qilin Cave?"

The purple phantom shook its head:

"How could that be!"

"The Qilin Essence, in the entire northern region, there should be only this one portion, and since it’s already gone, it probably won’t appear again for a thousand years."

"What I’m talking about is another opportunity."

"I’ve only just awakened this part of the memory."

"It’s an Alchemy Grandmaster’s cave dwelling from the Ancient Times..."

Listening to the description of the purple phantom, Yu Ruo’s eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

...

In Black Gold Canyon.

A demon lizard had just returned to its cave dwelling.

This time, they had set out grandly to hunt down Zhou Yu, but in the end, they came back empty-handed, allowing Zhou Yu to escape Black Gold Canyon.

At this time, the demon lizard was full of anger.

Yet, just as the demon lizard returned to its cave, it suddenly discovered a person inside.

This person was dressed in a white gown, looking very slender, but exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Upon seeing this woman, the demon lizard was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Demon Ancestor, my lord!"

"When... when did you arrive?"

The demon lizard knew too well the power of the Demon Ancestor; it was not an exaggeration to say that the other could kill him without even lifting a finger.

Therefore, at this moment, he was extremely apprehensive.

The Demon Ancestor glanced at the demon lizard and said:

"I didn’t expect that little lizard from back then to have entered the Integration Realm so quickly."

"And you have also awakened some Demon Dragon bloodline."

Upon hearing this, the demon lizard hurriedly replied:

"Thank you, Demon Ancestor, for saving my life in the space channel back then."

"I wonder what brings the Demon Ancestor to my humble cave dwelling. Is there anything you need me to do?"

The Demon Ancestor said lightly:

"I’m going out for a while, and you are coming with me."

Hearing this, the demon lizard was taken aback.

"Demon Ancestor... you... are leaving Black Gold Canyon?"

"That’s right!"

"What, is there a problem?"

The Demon Ancestor cast a sidelong glance at the demon lizard.

The demon lizard was startled and quickly smiled obsequiously.

"No problem, no problem."

"Being able to follow the Demon Ancestor is my honor."

"Then, Demon Ancestor, when do we set off?"

"Now!"

With that, the Demon Ancestor waved his hand, and the figures of the two instantly disappeared from the cave dwelling.

...

Black Cloud City, Holy Island of the Heaven Puppet Clan.

More than a month later, Zhou Yu finally returned to the Heaven Puppet Clan, to his own cave dwelling.

Upon returning, Zhou Yu’s first action was to check the restrictions and formations around his cave dwelling.

After thoroughly inspecting them and finding no signs of intruders, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This journey to Black Gold Canyon had involved multiple life-threatening encounters and had taken quite a toll on him.

Now he could finally have a good rest.

At once, Zhou Yu sat cross-legged and began to meditate and recover.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

A week later, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, all traces of fatigue had completely vanished from his body.

Replaced by a vibrant spirit.

At this moment, his spirit had already recovered to its peak, and in terms of cultivation, he had also made some breakthroughs.

Zhou Yu showed a satisfied smile.

Then he gently touched the storage ring on his finger.

In the next moment, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Looking at this jade bottle, Zhou Yu’s eyes were full of excitement.

This jade bottle contained the divine blood of a Beastman.

Also the divine blood of the Vajra Divine Ape.

Such a large amount surpassed even the combined amount of divine blood from the Green Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Ancient Kunpeng he had acquired before.

Once absorbed, the power of his Vajra Divine Ape Divine Blood Transformation would far exceed that of the other three divine blood transformations.

At this moment, Zhou Yu carefully opened the jade bottle and placed it in front of him.

Next, he took out some other auxiliary spiritual medicines.

After preparing everything, Zhou Yu began refining the divine blood of the Vajra Divine Ape...
