Chapter 4083 I'll Appoint You a High-Ranking Official

Even after I gathered the demonic energy back, the violent emotions in my heart had not subsided.

After taking a few deep breaths, I turned around and walked towards the disheveled Taoist priest. I was terrified to see him lying there motionless. I reached out and checked his breath, and found that he wasn't breathing.

"Old Luo, Brother Luo, you can't die!" My eyes reddened, and I almost burst into tears.

Just then, the disheveled Taoist priest suddenly moved and said with difficulty, "Don't worry about me... I won't die for now. Go get the heartwood of the 'Swish Tree,' and... and pluck a lot more leaves from it..."

After saying this, the slovenly Taoist priest trembled and fainted completely.

Even in this terrible state, they're still thinking about the swaying tree and its leaves; they can't bear to lose anything even in death.

This perfectly matches the slovenly Taoist priest's character.

With the eight-foot-long jade ornament surrounding him, this kid shouldn't die anytime soon.

By the way, isn't it true that the leaves of this swaying tree can heal wounds? And they have incredibly magical effects, even making broken arms and legs grow back.

So I took out the leaf that the prince had given me, picked up the slovenly Taoist priest, first stuffed a few pills from the Xue family pharmacy into his mouth, then tore the leaf into pieces and stuffed it into his mouth.

But the kid was completely unconscious and couldn't swallow. I called him several times but couldn't wake him up.

I glanced at Sister Na not far away, beckoned her over, possessed the disheveled Taoist priest, and made her swallow the leaves of that swaying tree.

Then I got up and jumped to the red heartwood of that swaying tree.

I've traveled for so long in the Fire Domain just for this thing, and now it's right before my eyes.

I quickly grabbed the Shengxie Sword and chopped at the red wood. It was quite hard; it took me seven or eight chops to finally cut through the red core. Without hesitation, I stuffed it into the Dragon Tiger Mirror.

Finally, I put this thing away, and my heart was completely at ease.

Just as I was looking around at the leaves of those flamboyant trees, I suddenly felt as if the magic circle below had been destroyed.

Oh no, someone's definitely going to climb up soon, and they'll probably be a really skilled one.

The magic array I set up below was quite sturdy and not so easy to break.

Once those experts arrive, we absolutely cannot leave.

Immediately, I quickly plucked a large number of leaves from the swaying leaves around the heart of the tree and put them into the Dragon Tiger Mirror; I think there were about fifty or sixty of them.

Just then, I glanced down and saw the little dwarf I had chased away earlier and the man in black I had encountered for the first time appear in my line of sight, though they were still some distance away.

Now that I no longer have the Black Demon God's demonic power, I am no match for them.

These fifty or sixty leaves of the swaying tree should be enough. Without thinking too much, I walked directly towards the slovenly Taoist priest, and at the same time, I put Ziba and Sister Na into the Heavenly Gang Seal.

The disheveled Taoist priest was still unconscious. I carried him on my back and said with a sigh, "Luo Laoliu, whether we can survive depends on our luck. If we have to die, we brothers will go to the Yellow Springs together."

As I spoke, I took out a Wind Escape Talisman, shook it gently, and began chanting incantations.

At this moment, I felt a little worried. I didn't know if the magic array of Zhaoyao Mountain had been activated. If it had, the Wind Escape Talisman might not be able to carry me and the slovenly Taoist away from Zhaoyao Mountain.

Screw them! If we can't leave, let's fight them. There's no turning back anyway.

After the Wind Escape Talisman ignited, a powerful force immediately enveloped me and the slovenly Taoist priest.

Suddenly, the world spun around me, and the wind howled in my ears. I closed my eyes, afraid to open them, my heart pounding with panic.

We had already prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, that they would make sure we left Zhaoyao Mountain alive.

As I was thinking about all sorts of random things, suddenly my footing gave way, and I plummeted downwards. Then, the slovenly Taoist priest and I tumbled to the ground.

I opened my eyes, got up from the ground, and looked around.

But there was a forest, and the surrounding area was deserted.

When I looked up, I saw Zhaoyao Mountain in the distance, which seemed to be about fifty or sixty miles away.

Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief and burst into laughter as I sat down on the ground.

"Luo Laoliu, we've escaped alive! We've left Zhaoyao Mountain!" I patted the disheveled Taoist on the shoulder.

"Ouch...you...you son of a bitch, you sat on my hand..." The slovenly Taoist priest trembled and said weakly.

I quickly got up and looked at the disheveled Taoist priest. His face was pale and bloodless.

Something's not right. I've already given him the leaves of the 'Swallowing Tree' tree. Could the leaves the prince gave us be fake?

The disheveled Taoist priest who woke up was also very weak and felt like he might faint at any moment.

"Old Wu...it's not safe here...quickly find a secluded place to hide, and then contact Brother Gu and the others..." The slovenly Taoist priest glanced around and reminded me.

I thought about it and realized it was too early to be happy.

So I picked up the slovenly Taoist priest and carried him towards a ravine not far away. At the same time, I released the spirit and asked her to find us a secluded hiding place.

At that moment, I was secretly relieved that the other side had not activated the magic array on Zhaoyao Mountain. If they had, we might not have been able to escape.

I guess they thought that as long as we were trapped on the swaying tree, we wouldn't be able to escape, so there was no need to activate the magic circle.

Or perhaps the magic array of Zhaoyao Mountain simply couldn't contain the Wind Escape Talisman...

Anyway, the slovenly Taoist priest and I finally escaped from Zhaoyao Mountain.

"Luo Laoliu, we've survived this ordeal, so good fortune is sure to follow. I've saved your life again, so remember to repay me when you have the chance." I was in a good mood and joked with the slovenly Taoist priest.

The slovenly Taoist priest, who was perched on my shoulder, felt incredibly heavy. I suddenly felt a warm breath on my neck. When I turned around, I saw that the corner of his mouth was bleeding again.

At this moment, the disheveled Taoist priest, still very weak, said to me, "Old Wu... don't worry, when I become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget you. If I become the emperor... I will definitely appoint you to a high-ranking position..."

"What official position do you plan to appoint me to?" I looked at the disheveled Taoist priest with a worried expression; his injuries were more severe than I had imagined.

"I...I'm already the Emperor, and you're at least a Ninth Prince..."

(Goodnight everyone~~)
