If he jumped into the sea and found this underground cave with the help of God, then he found the spiritual fruit with the help of God. If this wasn’t God, what was it?

“There shouldn’t be any problems now, right?” Chu Tianlu said to the three of them.

Chu tianliang snorted coldly and did not reply. Chu Wenshang, on the other hand, was obviously more enthusiastic about the spiritual awareness fruit. He smiled,”En, no problem, but it’s the heavenly road. Since it’s rare to come here, why don’t we continue to look around, maybe there are other spirit sense fruits?”

“No, this is the only one.” Chu Tianlu shook his head decisively.

“What do you mean?” Chu Wenshang’s expression was stunned. The human heart was always greedy. The spiritual fruit was a good thing that could only be encountered by luck and not sought after. Of course, the more the better. Although he didn’t know why Chu Tianlu was so divine, it was never a bad thing to be able to get a few more spiritual fruits. He didn’t expect that the other party would reject him so readily.

“It’s not that I don’t want to find it, it’s just that the spiritual fruits are mutually exclusive. Any spiritual fruit needs to condense a large amount of young Supreme serpent’s soul essence to form, so there has never been a case of twin or multiple births in history. It’s generally impossible to find, and even if it can be found, there’s only one, no more. What I’ve said can be verified by ancient books, not made up. ” Chu Tianlu explained.

“Alright, I understand.” Chu Wenshang nodded and suggested,”since there are no other spiritual fruits, there is no point in staying here. Let’s go out now.”

Chu tianliang was still in a dilemma. It would have been fine if he had a few more spiritual fruits, but one was not even enough for him to share with Chu Wen. Letting the other party off just like that would be letting Chu Tianlu off too easily. He was really unwilling to do so.

“Alright. But don’t you have any evil ideas, or I’ll destroy the spirit sense fruit and die with you!” Of course, Chu Tianlu couldn’t ask for more. From the very beginning, he didn’t have any thoughts of keeping the spiritual fruit for himself. This was a bargaining chip he used to protect himself. If he couldn’t find it today, he would really die Here.

“No problem!” In order to show their sincerity, Chu Wenshang gestured for Chu tianliang to lead the way. He and the other peak-level late-stage Foundation establishment cultivator walked in front of Chu Tianlu. This way, no matter what they did, Chu Tianlu would be able to see them. There was no need to worry about them doing anything behind their backs.

Chu Tianlu heaved a sigh of relief, but he did not let his guard down. Before he returned to the central island safely, he did not dare to let his guard down. Previously, he had said that he believed in Chu Wenshang’s character, but that was just a lip service. Since Chu Wenshang had helped Chu tianliang to deal with him, it meant that there must have been a deal behind the scenes. If he believed Chu Wenshang, he would be courting death.

However, he had only taken two steps when Chu Tianlu’s eyelids suddenly twitched. Chu Wenshang’s figure in front of him suddenly blurred!

Due to the fluorescent light of the seaweed everywhere, although the light in the underground cave was not comparable to the outside, it was not weak. The shadow inside was still very obvious, but because of the irregular distribution of the seaweed, the shadow was not quite the same as it was outside.

Chu Tianlu’s observation skills weren’t weak. Even if the shadow suddenly blurred, it would be difficult for anyone else to notice it in such an environment. After all, the shadow would change irregularly with every step they took. He was able to distinguish it very quickly!

But even so, it was still too late. At the same time the shadow blurred, another figure silently stuck to Chu Tianlu’s back. Then, it quickly turned into a solid form. It was Chu Wenshang.

“Pasted shadow steps!” Chu Tianlu’s heart turned cold the moment he noticed all this. Although the cultivation techniques were similar, every sect and family in the ancient Jianghu had their own iconic characteristics. Even the Chu family of Nakajima, which couldn’t even be compared to the ten small sects and families, also had their unique iconic ability, shadow.

Just like how the core of the spirit leaf sect came from the leaves, almost all of the Chu clan’s cultivation techniques and moves revolved around shadows. Among them, the movement technique was especially praiseworthy. Wherever the shadow went, the person would follow. This was the Chu clan’s shadow steps!

As the most outstanding young disciple of the Chu clan, Chu Tianlu actually knew how to use the pasted shadow steps. After all, he was already a perfected foundation building expert. However, even if they were both pasted shadow steps, it was completely different when he used it compared to when Chu Wenshang used it.

Chu Tianlu’s pasted shadow steps could only be used in an orderly manner. Wherever the shadow went, the person would follow. At most, he could be considered to be at the beginner level. However, Chu Wenshang was an expert in the early stage of the Golden core realm. Their strength and realm were completely different. Pasted shadow steps were almost at the phenomenal stage. To a certain extent, he could even actively change the trajectory of his shadow. He appeared and disappeared like a ghost, making it impossible to guard against.

As soon as he used the pasted shadow steps, Chu Wenshang was directly behind Chu Tianlu. The distance between them was less than a step, and he was almost stepping on Chu Tianlu’s heel. The consequences of being so close to an early golden core expert were simply unimaginable.

There was no doubt that everything Chu Wenshang had said before was to numb Chu Tianlu. His goal had always been the spiritual fruit. At the same time, he had also given up on his promise with Chu tianliang.

In short, he wanted both the spiritual fruit and the 1000 spiritual jades.

“Tian Lu, I’m sorry.” The corners of Chu Wenshang’s mouth curved into a cold arc, but his hand was already holding a short knife against Chu Tianlu’s neck. Because they all relied on shadows for a living, all kinds of martial arts techniques tended to be elusive. The experts of the Chu clan basically walked the path of assassins, and he was no exception.

The blade swept across, but to Chu Wenshang’s surprise, there was no obstruction from the blade. His sure-win strike actually sliced through the air.

“How is that possible?” Chu Wenshang’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that there shouldn’t have been any flaws in his pretense. To a certain extent, he should have been able to paralyze Chu Tianlu. How could this kid’s reaction be so fast?

Chu Tianlu’s reaction was indeed very fast. Not only did he manage to Dodge Chu Wenshang’s blade in the nick of time, but he also made a counterattack at the first moment. His target was not Chu Tianlu, but Chu tianliang, who was walking in front of him.

Pasted shadow steps! Although Chu Tianlu couldn’t appear and disappear as unpredictably as Chu Wenshang, Chu tianliang’s position in front of him was just too perfect. Especially since this guy’s reaction was very slow, he still didn’t know that Chu Wenshang had already made a move on him. Who else could he find?

“What are you doing!” Chu tianliang was shocked when Chu Tianlu’s short knife was suddenly pressed against his neck. He did not dare to move.

“I don’t want to do anything, I just want to live.” Chu Tianlu looked at Chu Wenshang with extreme vigilance and shouted coldly,””Back off twenty steps, or I’ll kill him.”
