Not only did she see through her own strength, she even became interested in the "Immortal Corpse Qi" she had refined!
"What do you want to do, you might as well tell me directly." Ye Feng said lukewarmly.
"It's nothing." Hongxiu smiled sweetly, stretched out a delicate jade finger and pointed at Ye Feng, "I just want to make a deal with you, little brother."
"A deal?"
"Not bad." Hong Xiu's eyes became more serious, "Brother, you were ordered to be hunted down by the Holy Land's Heavenly Law. You must be having trouble sleeping and eating now, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen's pupils shrank.
She actually even knows about the "Heavenly Law Order"!
"The Holy Land's spies are all over the world. It's no secret that you killed the old demon of prey and took away the edict." Hongxiu seemed to have read through their thoughts and said leisurely, "Purple Yang Sect, it's just The first wave. Next, there will be a steady stream of pursuers coming from all directions. Even if you two can fight, how long can you escape?"
The naked reality made Xiao Wuhen's heart sink.
Ye Feng’s eyes also became solemn.
"What is your transaction?"
"It's very simple." A fox-like smile appeared on Hongxiu's face, "You, follow me and return to the Huanhuan Sect. Our sect master likes most young heroes like you who dare to challenge the authority of the Holy Land. As long as you are willing to join us, let alone the Ziyang Sect, even if the Holy Lord comes in person, we, the Hehuan Sect, will keep you safe!"
Win over?
However, this condition is not unattractive.
Xiao Wuhen was a little moved, and couldn't help but send a message: "Crazy Ye, this... seems to be a good choice! Although the Hehuan Sect is a demon, it is powerful and not much weaker than the Holy Land. With their protection, we..."
Ye Feng did not answer immediately.
He looked at the woman in front of him, who had a smile as bright as a flower but was full of weirdness, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
There is no free lunch in this world.
Hehuan Sect, why would you risk offending the Holy Land to protect a stranger?
Is it just because he killed Zhenren Chiyang? This doesn't make sense.
Unless he has something that the Hehuan Sect wants.
In other words, there is something that this woman named Hongxiu wants.
His gaze met Hongxiu’s enchanting red and phoenix eyes in the air.
After a while, Ye Feng suddenly smiled.
"Thank you for your kindness, girl. However, I'm used to Xianyun Yehe and don't like to be restrained by others." He declined politely.
"Oh?" Hongxiu seemed a little surprised, but not angry, but her smile became stronger, "Brother, don't think about it anymore? If you miss this village, you won't have this store."
At this moment, from the distant horizon, a dozen powerful auras were coming quickly from far to near.
The reinforcements from Ziyang Sect have arrived!
"It seems that I don't have time to think about it anymore." Hongxiu spread her hands, looking helpless.
However, Ye Feng seemed not to have seen the pursuers. Instead, he took a step forward, looked directly at Hongxiu, and said word for word: "I'm afraid the person the girl wants to trade is not me, but... this, right?"
As he said that, he stretched out his left hand.
In the palm of the hand, traces of gray-black "immortal corpse aura" slowly emerged again, exuding a heart-stopping aura of death and end.
The moment he saw this power, all the expressions on Hong Xiu’s face, which had always been wearing a lazy smile, froze.
Her eyes showed emotions mixed with greed, desire, and a trace of fear!
"You...how do you have the power of the "Netherworld Emperor"?"
Her voice trembled slightly!
The Netherworld Emperor?
Ye Feng's heart moved, but his face remained calm. He guessed correctly, this woman really came here for this "immortal corpse energy". Moreover, she seems to know the true origin of this power.
"It seems that the girl knows this thing." Ye Feng said lightly, and at the same time, he took back the traces of corpse aura.
Hongxiu’s eyes were fixed on Ye Feng’s left hand, and her breathing became a little short. Her charming face no longer looked lazy at this moment, but had an unprecedented solemnity.
"It's more than just acquaintance." She took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart. "That is the origin of the supreme demonic path that our Hehuan Sect has been pursuing for thousands of years! According to legend, the Nether Emperor is the ancient demon god in charge of death and reincarnation!"
That's it.
Ye Feng understood instantly. The corpse of the evil god under the crack is probably the Netherworld Emperor. Some of the inheritance of Hehuan Sect is related to this "Emperor of the Netherworld".
No wonder she desires this power so much.
"Now, girl, you can explain your true purpose of coming." Ye Feng said, "You should know that this power is not so easy to get."
The sound of breaking through the air in the distance is getting closer and closer. The encirclement of Ziyang Sect is about to close.
Hongxiu’s face was uncertain. She was obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind. She gritted her teeth, took out something from the storage magic weapon, and threw it to Ye Feng.
It was a pitch-black token made of unknown animal bones. On the token, a mysterious pattern is engraved, like a blooming bloody lotus.
"This is the "Saint Order" of our Hehuan Sect." Hong Xiu said quickly, "With this order, you can mobilize all the power of the Hehuan Sect outside the Southern Territory. Moreover, this order can temporarily block the breath of the "Heavenly Law Order". Although it is only for twelve hours, it is enough to get you out of the current predicament."
She paused and looked at Ye Feng with burning eyes: "My condition is very simple. Three months later, on the coast of the East China Sea, on 'Guixu Island', I want you to use the power in your hands to help me open the 'Netherworld Demon Palace'! After that, I, the Hehuan Sect, will not only help you completely solve the pursuit of the holy land, but also treat you as a guest elder, and let you read the sect's classics!"
Guixu Island? Nether Demon Palace?
Ye Feng kept this information in mind and weighed the "Saint's Order" in his hand. As soon as he took the token, a strange cold aura isolated his soul from the feeling of being locked by the "Heavenly Law Order".
Although it is short-lived, it does work!
"Deal." Ye Feng agreed without any hesitation.
For him, this is a sure-profit deal. As for helping her open the Demon Palace, who will use whom when the time comes is still uncertain.
"Okay! It's a deal!" A smile appeared on Hongxiu's face again, "The slave family will not disturb the two young brothers' escape. Three months later, we will see you at Guixu Island."
After saying that, she swayed, turned into a red light, and went directly towards the direction where the Ziyang Sect people were coming.
"Fellow Taoists of the Ziyang Sect, you are well and well. The Nu family is doing a cleansing here. I don't know why you came to my realm with such fanfare?"
Her charming voice came from afar, and the coercion contained in it made the dozen or so monks of the Ziyang Sect froze together, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"It's the witch from the Hehuan Sect!"
"Why is she here?"
Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
This woman actually took the initiative to delay time for them!
"Let's go!"
Ye Feng no longer hesitated, pulling Xiao Wuhen, taking advantage of this gap, his body transformed into a stream of light, and fled crazily in the opposite direction to Ziyang Sect.
……
Three days later.
Qingzhou, Linhe City.
This is a mortal city, located at the junction of the Southern Territory and Zhongzhou, with a population of one million, busy traffic, and extremely prosperous.
In an ordinary courtyard in the south of the city.
Two men wearing coarse linen clothes and dark skin, who looked like they had been running business outside all year round, were sitting at the stone table in the yard, drinking low-quality rice wine.
One of them is Ye Feng.
The other one was Xiao Wuhen who looked unhappy.
"I said, Madman Ye, why do we hide in a place like this where birds don't poop?" Xiao Wuhen drank all the rice wine in the cup and smacked his lips in disgust, "This wine is not as delicious as the water that my Xiao family feeds the horses. Besides, look at it. If my fellow apprentices see me dressed like this, they will laugh out loud."
He is a genius of the Xiao family, but now he has to pretend to be a mortal and remain anonymous, which makes him feel extremely aggrieved.
"Hidden in the city." Ye Feng munched peanuts leisurely, "What do you think is going on outside now?"
He threw a jade slip to Xiao Wuhen.
Xiao Wuhen took it doubtfully, and his expression changed instantly as soon as his consciousness swept away.
In the jade slips is the information that Ye Feng has quietly collected over the past three days.
Zhenren Chiyang, the supreme elder of the Ziyang Sect, was beheaded by a mysterious demon in Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge!
As soon as this incident came out, the entire cultivation world was shocked!
The Ziyang Sect was furious and issued the highest-level reward order in the name of the Holy Land Edict.
The bounty reward is rich enough to make any Mahayana monk crazy. A Taoist artifact, ten bottles of holy elixirs, plus a quota to be directly recommended to the Holy Land to receive the baptism of "Heaven's Law"!
The entire spiritual practice world is crazy!
Countless sects, families, and casual cultivators all moved upon hearing the news, like sharks smelling blood, searching everywhere for traces of the "blasphemer" Ye Feng.
"Are this...are these guys crazy?" Xiao Wuhen was frightened.
"Man will die for money, and birds will die for food. This has been true since ancient times." Ye Feng was very calm.
He looked at Xiao Wuhen and continued: "Now, do you still think that it is unnecessary for us to hide here?"
Xiao Wuhen was silent.
