The Demon Heart Cave Master proposed to recruit the Old Monster in Stone, and Lu Tu immediately gave permission.
He had not anticipated, however, that multiple recruitment attempts would fail.
Of course, Lu Tu was also aware of the dark thoughts of the Demon Heart Cave Master and the others, but he couldn't quibble over them since the great battle loomed and they were in urgent need of people.
Yet, he couldn't simply tolerate their schemings. After much thought, he simply decided to make a move himself, taking the Demon Heart and Blood Shadow, two Nascent Soul Cultivators, to pressure the Old Monster in Stone to force him to come out of seclusion!
Deep within the cave,
Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes. Despite his fatigue, his gaze was filled with joy.
"The Stone Cast Earth Treasure Divine Power... sixty percent complete!"
He was preparing to rest when he discovered that Sun Lingtong was nowhere to be seen.
"Eh? Where has the boss gone?"
