Chapter 32: Real Motive Of The Saintess |
“This is a secret of my fox clan, of course you wouldn’t know, even I only recently found out about it,” Chen Xiaokui said coquettishly.
“Are you telling me about your fox clan’s secret fortune just like that? If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting, right?” Zhang Yi felt that something was off, as this Saintess of the Southern Demon Nation was being too enthusiastic.
“Although we are meeting for the first time, I have admired big brother for a long time. You are one of the few men under the heavens who can match me!” Chen Xiaokui smiled brightly, not hiding her appreciation for Zhang Yi.
“Just one of them?” Zhang Yi was a bit dissatisfied. With his looks and strength, he wasn’t joking around.
Chen Xiaokui hesitated for a moment, suddenly feeling that this senior brother of the Dao sect seemed a little different from the rumors, but she liked this version of Zhang Yi better. She slightly bowed and said softly, “I have offended you, but if big brother wants to be the only one, come to our Southern Demon Nation, our doors are always open for you.”
Chen Xiaokui was really digging at Zhang Yi’s wall at every opportunity. The two women beside them had already cursed Chen Xiaokui’s eighteen generations in secret.
“Don’t speak recklessly, if your goal is only the Nine-Tailed Saint Blood, we can cooperate, but you must first help me obtain the Barbarian King’s Blood,” Zhang Yi said firmly.
“Of course, I believe in big brother’s character!” Chen Xiaokui readily agreed, seemingly trusting Zhang Yi unconditionally.
“Saintess, with so many demons around, why do you have to cooperate with him?” Xiao Gu was a bit anxious, but she also knew that it was difficult to change the Saintess’ decision once made.
‘Wow, this Saintess really doesn’t hide anything. I hope the Heavenly Fate Map doesn’t release any missions related to her.’ Zhang Yi noticed that all the missions released up till now were related to women, and he seriously suspected that the Heavenly Fate Map had a tendency to favor women over men.
“Senior Brother, now that we’ve established our relationship, I’ll tell you about the people and places to watch out for in the Great Barbarian Forbidden Land.” Chen Xiaokui really had no intention of keeping secrets from Zhang Yi, she pulled him along and headed towards her residence, leaving the two women behind, who were cursing furiously in place.
“Sister Chenyu, hurry up and follow. This demoness has ill intentions towards Senior Brother and we can’t let her succeed!”
“How can there be such shameless people in this world?”
Shen Chenyu pouted and cursed.
…
On the other side, Ye Haoran helped Hu Zi who had been blasted away. “Brother, do you also want to go after Zhang Yi?”
Ye Haoran naturally wanted to win over Hu Zi, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, he didn’t care whether the other party was human or demon.
“Who are you?” Hu Zi brushed off the dirt on his body and asked with a frown.
“I am Ye Haoran of the Heaven Sect!” Ye Haoran proudly announced his name.
“So, you’re the Heaven Sect’s Senior Brother. I heard that you were defeated by Zhang Yi with just one move some time ago? So what if you awakened your Heavenly Pupil? You’re still not his match.”
Hu Zi chuckled lightly and looked down on Ye Haoran’s strength.
Ye Haoran’s face changed, this was his life’s shame, and it instantly made him furious. He grabbed Hu Zi by the neck, his eyes flashing with a strange color, which made Hu Zi feel the threat of death.
“What did you say?!” Ye Haoran asked through gritted teeth.
“I was wrong, I’m willing to join forces with you!” Hu Zi immediately backed down and said without showing any backbone.
This was completely different from when facing Chen Xiaokui, he was sure that Chen Xiaokui wouldn’t dare to kill him, but with Ye Haoran, it was hard to say, and more importantly, he felt the horror of Ye Haoran’s strength, that look would be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Left eye alive, right eye dead, this is the power of Heavenly Pupil, capable of controlling life and death.
Only then did Ye Haoran release Hu Zi, but his killing intent did not dissipate. “This will not happen again, otherwise… you will be executed!”
“I won’t dare again in the future, by the way… if we’re dealing with Zhang Yi, I think many of the demon clan would be willing to lend a hand.”
Zhang Yi is the strongest among the young generation of humans today, and he is also a thorn in the side of the demon clan. Countless demon clan members want his life. Furthermore, now that he is together with their goddess Chen Xiaokui, he will certainly provoke many people’s killing intent.
Upon hearing this, Ye Haoran’s eyes brightened, and the gloom in his heart disappeared instantly. “Very good, with my methods added, Zhang Yi is sure to die on this trip!”
“As long as I can kill Zhang Yi, I will follow your orders, Brother!” Hu Zi was overjoyed to hear that Ye Haoran had other means, as he knew that if he could slay Zhang Yi, he would surely receive a generous reward when he returned. It would not be a dream to reach the pinnacle of life.
At the same time, he secretly despised Ye Haoran, ‘It’s true, the human race likes to fight amongst themselves, but the more intense the fight, the better. When the time comes, their territory will all belong to us.’
Ye Haoran also had his own small plan in mind. ‘After killing Zhang Yi, I will eliminate all of these demons!’ How could the Senior Brother of the Heaven Sect allow himself to be charged with colluding with the demon clan? He was very protective of his own reputation.
On the other side, Chen Xiaokui confided in Zhang Yi with all her heart, telling him everything she knew about the situation. This made the nearby Xiao Gu anxious because she knew that some of this information was obtained at great cost.
“Big brother, you need to be especially careful about one person on this trip – the freak of the Dragon Clan has awakened!”
When the subject of the dragon clan was brought up, Chen Xiaokui’s smile disappeared and her expression became unusually serious.
“Dragon Clan freak? Who is that?” Zhang Yi knew that during the ancient calamity, some forces would freeze the seeds of hope and wait for them to awaken in the future.
“Long Tian! This person cannot be underestimated. It is said that he was the number one genius of the Dragon Clan in ancient times!” Chen Xiaokui took a deep breath, her expression extremely serious.
“His time has passed. What is his current cultivation level?” Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, wanting to inquire about the other party’s background before making any moves.
“He’s reached the late-stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, and it’s also from the ancient times. I heard that ancient era’s geniuses could cross realms to fight, so you can think of him as being in the Void Spirit realm!”
Chen Xiaokui had long since discovered Long Tian’s background and knew everything about him.
Suddenly, Zhang Yi looked up and looked sharply at Chen Xiaokui. “Are you cooperating with me to kill him?”
Chen Xiaokui was stunned and an embarrassed smile appeared on her charming face. “Ho…how could that be? I only seek the Nine-tailed Saint Blood.”
Zhang Yi stood up, as if he was about to leave.
Chen Xiaokui became anxious and immediately reached out to stop Zhang Yi. She gritted her teeth and said, “Please help me take his life, big brother!”
