"I didn't expect you to discover something like this. Sister Xie Zhou, you are so clever. But what can I do? I was forced to resort to such a despicable method."
Xie Zhou stared at the still-naive boy in front of him, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness, clearly indicating that some grievances were spreading in his heart.
For a moment, Xie Zhou didn't know what to say. After all, it was clear to the naked eye that the boy wouldn't lie, and what he said should be true. What was his predicament? Xie Zhou didn't want to know.
"In this vast world, everyone has their own troubles. You have them, I have them, and everyone has them. If you have your troubles, there's no need to say more; we all understand each other perfectly well. But I hope that you won't go astray in the future."
Xie Zhou's words were sincere, as he did not want this seemingly immature young man to go astray in the future, something Xie Zhou was unwilling to see.
The boy smiled and nodded after hearing these words. Clearly, this boy was also a promising talent, but he had gone astray for a moment. Otherwise, he would not have led Xie Zhou onto the path of the sacrificial hall.
Fortunately, Xie Zhou was quite knowledgeable and recognized the road.
However, Xie Zhou was determined that since he and Zheng Shao Nian had some connection, he should make the most of it and try to influence the young man.
"Not just today, but also in the future, you don't need to harm anyone. Solutions are always found by people; everything else is static. But people are dynamic, and we can use our own methods to fulfill our regrets!"
After hearing these words, the boy's eyes widened in surprise. He was clearly moved by Xie Zhou's words. A warm feeling welled up in his heart. He had never expected that Xie Zhou would care about him so much.
You must know that before, the young man almost caused Xie Zhou to fall into a trap, and Xie Zhou was still able to repay evil with kindness. This shows how kind Xie Zhou is. The young man thought to himself and couldn't help but sigh.
"Since you've said that, I will certainly obey you. I am determined to listen to you. I am deeply grateful for your influence on me today, which will undoubtedly have a significant impact on my future life. I am so ashamed that I even had such thoughts before..."
After the boy finished speaking, his eyes were misty as he stared at Xie Zhou in front of him. Then, with lightning speed, he conjured up streaks of green light on the spot.
Beneath the green light source, a dense spiritual energy was rapidly dissipating, which surprised Xie Zhou greatly.
Xie Zhou hadn't expected the boy to be able to do such a thing. Now he was probably going to turn into a tree and take root here, because he felt too guilty. But this was not the result Xie Zhou wanted.
Just as Xie Zhou was about to stop him, the boy had already transformed into a tree, taking root there, and instantly disappeared before Xie Zhou's eyes. For a moment, Xie Zhou only felt regret and sadness.
At that very moment, another voice echoed in Xie Zhou's mind. This voice had been following Xie Zhou for a long time, and Xie Zhou immediately recognized it as the system.
"Your mission is now complete!"
After hearing these words, Xie Zhou was unsure what to think. He only felt a sense of grief and indignation. Suddenly, he heard footsteps beside him. Xie Zhou found it strange and turned around to find that it was Luo Tianfan.
Xie Zhou never expected that Luo Tianfan would appear in his presence. After all, not long ago, he and Luo Fantian were in an unfathomable abyss, and it was Luo Tianfan's appearance that saved them.
Why is Luo Tianfan back now? Xie Zhou was naturally a little surprised, but on the surface he maintained a calm expression, after all, the mission had just been completed.
"I happened to be passing by when I heard that you were in this Lost Canyon. Now that I'm here, I have to come and see you, since we are somewhat destined to meet."
Xie Zhou found it strange to hear Luo Tianfan say these words, since the relationship between Luo Tianfan and Xie Zhou had not been this close before. However, Xie Zhou remained outwardly calm, but felt a little uneasy inside.
Xie Zhou then cooperated and responded directly: "Thank you for what happened last time. It's good that you took the time to pass by and come to see me. It's as if our fate is not over yet."
Xie Zhou naturally knew that Luo Tianfan must have something to ask for since he spoke like that. Although Xie Zhou was puzzled, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he owed Luo Tianfan a life-saving favor, and it would be good to repay it as soon as possible.
“I did have a mission while passing through this place, and there are some things I need your help with. There is a city of bones nearby, which is full of skeletons and the people are suffering greatly. Since I was passing through this place and remembered that you were here, I naturally wanted to go with you for double protection.”
Xie Zhou raised an eyebrow. Just as he had expected, Luo Tianfan had come here because he wanted to take him along. Coincidentally, Xie Zhou had also completed his mission and was now bored out of his mind.
Since Luo Tianfan had come to him personally, Xie Zhou couldn't refuse him, so he nodded.
"I can't refuse such kindness. Since you've come all the way to Lost Canyon to seek me out, what reason do I have to refuse? It's just a journey to Corpse City. I might as well go. I've been idly passing through the canyon these past two days anyway."
Xie Zhou agreed quickly, and Luo Tianfan was overjoyed. However, since Luo Tianfan had invited Xie Zhou to go with him, he still needed to tell Xie Zhou about the events in Corpse City so that Xie Zhou would be aware of the situation.
"Here's the thing, our sect's recent investigation has revealed that someone has been causing trouble in Corpse City. Whether it's a human or a demon, we'll have to go there to find out. But things have already gotten quite serious, so we need to hurry!"
Xie Zhou simply nodded after hearing these words. Since that was the case, Xie Zhou had nothing more to say. Besides, it was just a trip to Corpse City. Xie Zhou was a man who had seen his share of storms and great waves.
Moreover, Xie Zhou and Fei Tianlong Yizhang were seriously injured not long ago, which made Xie Zhou feel that his strength still needed to be improved. This time, going to catch demons was a good opportunity to train himself, and Xie Zhou had no reason to refuse.
Having thought this through, Xie Zhou became even more determined to go. This was an ancient city, and he wanted to see just how powerful it was, even though Luo Tianfan was somewhat afraid of it, and who was behind it all.
