A scream suddenly came from the octopus monster's mouth, and one of its tentacles was floating in the water, having been severed by the Heavenly Demon Sword.

"Respected human, please don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'll tell you a secret!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu stopped swinging his sword and looked at the octopus monster in front of him with great interest.

"Speak, what secret is it? If your secret is not worth your life, I will still kill you. So, you'd better watch yourself."

The octopus monster looked at its remaining six tentacles with heartache, and pointed to the tangled water vines with one of them, saying hesitantly.

"The one behind that is the most precious item among all the treasures I've collected over the years. It should be a treasure map, which I obtained from a cultivator. The material of this treasure map is extraordinary, and I think the treasures inside must be extraordinary as well."

At this point, the octopus monster's eyes lit up with excitement, clearly indicating that it had once harbored fantasies about this treasure.

However, Wang Mu was startled at this moment.

Treasure Map?

Could it be the missing treasure map I collected earlier?

“Okay, this secret is worth your life, but you have to do one thing for me before I can let you go,” Wang Mu said with a smile to the octopus monster.

Upon hearing Wang Mu's words, the octopus monster felt displeased. However, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Your life was in their hands, so you had no choice but to obey.

"Tell me what it is."

"It's very simple, you just need to spray ink to make the waterfall in front of you black."

Upon hearing this, the octopus monster finally felt relieved, thinking it was something serious. Spraying ink was something that couldn't be easier for the octopus monster.

Suddenly, the octopus monster spewed out an enormous amount of ink from its mouth, instantly turning the entire body of water pitch black.

After doing all that, the octopus monster immediately fled the area, fearing that Wang Mu might change his mind.

Just as the octopus monster spewed ink, polluting the entire body of water, a bright golden spot appeared very clearly in the waterfall.

Upon seeing the golden creature before him, Wang Mu smiled slightly and thought to himself.

"This method really works! I've finally found you!"

The golden creature before them was none other than the culprit that had blinded the group earlier—the Light Demon!

At this moment, the Light Demon also realized that something was wrong. He was in a pitch-black environment, which was extremely uncomfortable for him.

What's even more infuriating is that the human cultivator in front of him is unaffected by his light, and his gaze seems to carry a hint of mockery.

"Damn cultivator, I don't know how you became immune to my attacks, but your behavior has really annoyed me. You should just die."

The Light Demon angrily addressed Wang Mu.

On the other side, although Zhong Wanling and Xiao Chuan could not see, they could still hear it. Upon hearing Guang Mo's words, their hearts immediately jumped.

Wang Mu looked at the Light Demon in front of him with disdain and said, "You? I could stand still and let you hit me and you still not kill me. What right do you have to say that?"

Upon hearing this, the Light Demon's figure trembled with anger, and a powerful force instantly appeared on its body.

"Die, you wretched humans!"

A powerful beam of light was unleashed from the Light Demon's hand, shooting straight towards Wang Mu.

Sensing this powerful aura, Zhong Wanling felt a sudden sense of unease and instinctively tried to rush forward.

Sensing Zhong Wanling's movement, the evil wolf grabbed her and said...

“Miss Zhong Wanling, your current state will only cause trouble for the genius. I believe in the genius’s abilities. A mere light demon is no match for the genius.”

While saying this, Sha Youlang was extremely worried. The attack launched by the Light Demon was probably its strongest strike, and even he, with his increased strength, felt a sense of unease.

Seeing the Light Demon launch this attack, Wang Mu felt no worry at all; instead, he revealed a confident smile.

On the other side, the Light Demon was completely exhausted after unleashing this move, and looked at Wang Mu with malice.

"You ungrateful wretch, you can still laugh now, but you'll be crying later, hehe."

The Light Demon was extremely confident in his attack. In his mind, Wang Mu was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, and there was no way he could withstand his attack.

However, what happened next made the Light Demon's eyes widen in disbelief, followed by endless despair.

Just as the beam of light launched by the Light Demon was about to hit Wang Mu, it seemed to hit something and bounced back, heading straight for the Light Demon.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! This is impossible."

Leaving behind a terrified scream, the Light Demon turned into ashes and vanished.

Only then did Wang Mu feel a wave of fear wash over him. The power of that beam of light was terrifying; it had completely annihilated the Light Demon, leaving not a trace. If he hadn't had the rebound card, he would probably be the one who disappeared by now.

The moment the light demon disappeared, Zhong Wanling and the others regained their sight.

Zhong Wanling stared blankly at the situation before her. There was only Wang Mu's figure above her, and she couldn't see the Light Demon at all.

"Genius...Where's Light Demon? Did he escape?" Sha Youlang rushed to Wang Mu's side and asked.

"He's already dead, everyone's fine now," Wang Mu said calmly.

After checking Wang Mu's body, Sha Youlang was relieved. The genius's body was not in any serious condition, and he was not even injured.

"Truly a genius! He defeated the monsters here without a scratch!" Xiao Chuan exclaimed in admiration.

After defeating the Light Demon, Wang Mu immediately rushed towards the pitch-black water below.

After searching through the tangled water vines to no avail, he looked angrily in the direction the octopus monster had fled.

"hateful."

Just then, the water vines quietly emitted a light, revealing a map.

I excitedly looked at the map in my hand, but then a look of disappointment appeared on Wang Mu's face.

It turns out that the treasure map transformed into the tangled water vines in the water. However, Wang Mu did not notice the water vines when he asked the octopus monster to spray ink, resulting in the water vines being covered in ink.

The treasure map that materialized in Wang Mu's hand was completely black; he couldn't see anything.

The moment Wang Mu saw the treasure map, a surge of excitement welled up inside him. He immediately recognized that this treasure map was the missing piece of his own.
