Jiang Xiaobai no longer hesitated; having the Spirit Root in his hand was certainly better than it falling into the hands of the Ghost Sect. He picked up the Spirit Root, and it seemed to respond to something, suddenly glowing for a moment. For a second, he was so startled that he almost threw it away.
He tucked the Spirit Root into his bosom and left the Qingjing Tower with Ruo Li.
Upon reaching the foot of Lingsu Mountain, they were immediately confronted by Gui Nu.
"Old ghost! Why didn't you show up last night? Xiaobai and I almost died at the hands of those devils." Ruo Li was somewhat angry.
Gui Nu replied, "Don't be upset. If it weren't for me, you would surely have died."
Ruo Li said, "Old ghost, we didn't even catch a glimpse of you. Don't say it was you who saved us."
