The Eerie Man agreed to Ye Feng's request. Looking at the seemingly harmless smile of the young man in front of him, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad we could reach an agreement. My name is Xie Tianyu, and I hope our collaboration will be pleasant!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng nodded seriously and replied with a smile, "My name is Ye Feng. Strictly speaking, this isn't really a collaboration; it's more of an agreement. You harmed me, so you should compensate me. I hope my request won't be too difficult for you."
Although this person readily agreed, Ye Feng still had some doubts about whether he could actually provide the materials needed for the Heavenly Origin Pill. After all, items of this level in Alchemy were priceless!
Xie Tianyu seemed to sense his concern and smiled as he said, "There's no need to worry. Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. In fact, among the information we gathered from the Exchange, there are materials related to the Heavenly Origin Pill. I believe the Nine Origin Root and Flame Dragon Grass you need have already been acquired by us!"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised by this revelation and opened his mouth slightly in astonishment. "That's excellent! Now, please take them out!"
The longer they stayed, the more complications could arise. If it weren't for the necessity of the situation, he wouldn't want to linger with this person any longer. He didn't know when that Old Monster pursuing him would catch up. To avoid conflict, it would be best to conclude their transaction here and part ways!
However, upon hearing his words, Xie Tianyu showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "I think I can't produce them right now."
"Why not?" Ye Feng frowned. If this guy dared to play tricks on him, he wouldn't hesitate to act as the villain! After all, the other party was not a good person either!
Xie Tianyu quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant! Don't get agitated! What I meant is that everything we obtained from the Exchange is with my junior sister!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's expression softened slightly as he said, "Next time you should be more thorough in your explanations. Always leaving things half-said can lead to trouble!"
Xie Tianyu forced a smile but inwardly cursed himself for encountering someone so unpredictable! However, he still spoke amicably, "Don't rush! Right now, our most important task is to work together to evade that Old Fart's pursuit. You wouldn't want to be discovered either!"
Thinking of Chifeng made Ye Feng feel a bit of a headache. However, since the other party could provide him with what he needed, it was worth taking the risk!
"So when do you plan to wait here? Where is your junior sister now?"
Xie Tianyu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "My junior sister doesn't know that I decided to hide here at the last minute. However, the place she is going to is indeed the escape route we planned in advance. I think she should have arrived by now. If she doesn't see us, she will probably wait for me!"
Ye Feng immediately replied, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up!" After saying that, he stood up abruptly.
Xie Tianyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure if that Old Fart has gone after my junior sister. If that's the case, wouldn't it be a bit foolish for us to go now?"
"What do you mean by that? You said it was the route you agreed upon. Now you're leaving your junior sister alone there? Even if there's danger, aren't you afraid something will happen to her?" Ye Feng's tone grew cold. This guy was being two-faced; one moment he said one thing, and now he was saying another. Was he trying to fool him?
Seeing that Ye Feng still harbored doubts about him, Xie Tianyu sighed and said, "You don't understand our Unity Clan. Although my junior sister's cultivation is not as good as ours, she has many more ways to avoid danger than we do. I didn't inform her in advance because I trust her abilities. I'm just afraid that if we go there, it might lead to bad consequences!"
"Like what?" Ye Feng asked, increasingly confused.
Xie Tianyu no longer hesitated and directly explained, "The most likely scenario is that Old Monster headed straight for the forest. My junior sister can still find a way to evade him alone. If we go too, we'll be too big of a target and easily exposed. So I think we should wait!"
Now Ye Feng understood, but this feeling of sitting idly by was not what he wanted. In his view, it was better to meet up quickly and take what they needed before leaving! Why complicate things?
"Wait! Did you hear something?" Just as Ye Feng was about to urge him again, Xie Tianyu suddenly spoke up sensitively.
Ye Feng furrowed his brows, wondering what this guy was up to again. However, he listened carefully to the sounds around them but heard nothing! He couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you messing with me? It's as quiet as a graveyard around here; there's nothing going on!"
As soon as he said this, Xie Tianyu's expression became somewhat awkward—not from having his lie exposed but from a brewing sense of urgency!
"It's my junior sister's Secret Sound Transmission! She's in danger! Damn it! Has that Old Fart really blocked her path?!"
Ye Feng felt that his emotions were genuine and not feigned, but he recalled his earlier words and mocked, "Didn’t you say your junior sister could easily avoid that Old Fart? What’s going on now?"
Xie Tianyu's face flushed at this remark, but he still spoke up, "Maybe there was some mistake! If my junior sister hadn’t hidden herself from the start, being discovered was inevitable. Damn it! How did I not think of that? That Old Fart could very well be lying in wait there. Even if my junior sister has various concealment techniques, if she was discovered from the beginning, how could she possibly escape?"
Listening to this, Ye Feng couldn’t detect any tricks. Before he could say anything, Xie Tianyu lost his composure!
"We need to hurry over there immediately!"
Ye Feng found it amusing; this guy was truly pathetic, only getting anxious when something went wrong. However, considering that his companion's junior sister would be in danger, his Heavenly Origin Pill materials would be completely ruined! So, he set aside his mockery and activated Flowing Cloud Steps to take the lead.
"What are you waiting for? Let’s go!" The words floated through the air. Xie Tianyu was taken aback, muttering something under his breath before hurriedly following.
... Just as the two of them began moving toward the forest, Lian'er had already arrived at the prearranged location. However, after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find her senior brother. Initially worried about his safety, she soon sensed that someone was watching her!
"Hehehe! Little girl! Daring to cause trouble in my protected Exchange, no matter what forces are behind you, Old Man will make you understand how heavy the price of death is!" Chifeng indeed appeared in this secluded forest and spoke cruelly upon arrival!
Lian'er was taken aback; she never expected this Old Fart would guess their escape route. Perhaps they all underestimated this Royal Guardian! Just as her senior brother had said, she had managed to hide her identity in the Exchange for several days without being exposed because she had her own methods of concealment!
Unfortunately, once those methods were exposed, they became utterly useless!
Faced with a master who had one foot in the Divine Martial Realm, Lian'er couldn’t muster any fighting spirit. However, the Storage Ring on her hand constantly reminded her that she could not die here; at the very least, she needed to reach the prophet and report everything!
In this empire, there were too many despicable and shameless people! If a messenger wasn’t cautious, how could they safely navigate through?
"As a member of the royal family, secretly colluding in such dealings, even if you kill me, the secrets here will eventually be exposed!" Lian'er replied fearlessly.
Chifeng was slightly taken aback, not expecting this young woman to have such spirit. He couldn't help but laugh, "Sharp-tongued girl, do you think that by saying this, I would hesitate to kill you out of fear of your backup? You are mistaken; the more you say this, the more Old Man will want to torture you to death!"
Lian'er spat angrily, "I would rather commit suicide than die at the hands of a filthy scoundrel like you!"
"Oh? In that case, Old Man will give you a chance; do it yourself. Old Man is too lazy to bother!" Chifeng said nonchalantly. As long as the other party was dead and he took her Storage Ring, he would have an explanation for today’s events when it reached the princess.
Upon hearing this, Lian'er turned pale with anger. She clenched her fists, hesitating and unsure of what to do. On one hand, she began using her clan's secret method to send a message to her senior brother. However, it was not in hopes that Xie Tianyu would come to rescue her; rather, she wanted him to know that this Old Fart was occupied with her, allowing him a chance to escape!
This idea of sacrifice was not the tradition of the Unity Clan, but for the sake of the prophet's reputation, Lian'er was willing to dedicate herself!
Yet, dying at the hands of this pervert before her filled her with too much unwillingness!
"What's wrong? Unwilling to act? Do you want me to help you?" Seeing this, Chifeng taunted again. He slightly released his own realm, and the powerful aura from his peak late Xuanwu Realm directly spread out, completely disrupting Lian'er’s aura, which was only at the Gangwu Realm level!
A wave of suffocation hit her chest as if blood were about to surge out. Lian'er felt unsteady on her feet and nearly fainted! She forced herself to endure this terrifying pressure and held onto her last shred of dignity!
"Delusional! I will not submit to you!" After saying this, she gritted her teeth and summoned her Azure Edge Sword, preparing to strike at her neck!
Chifeng watched with an evil smile. As a top expert with a noble royal identity, within the Sky Abyss Empire, aside from a few super strong individuals at the Divine Martial Realm who made him wary, he hardly regarded anyone else. Only the princess could offer him an unexpected status.
Thus, he willingly served as a slave to the royal family. However, this woman before him had almost ruined his standing in the princess's eyes; how could he let her go?
At this critical moment, Lian'er’s sword ultimately failed to draw blood! Because Xie Tianyu and Ye Feng finally arrived!
“Junior Sister! Don’t!” A sharp shout interrupted Lian'er's movement. Xie Tianyu appeared in mid-air, fully unleashing his peak early stage of the Xuanwu Realm. As soon as he appeared, he turned back and delivered a fierce Wind Palm strike at Chifeng!
“Bang!” The powerful True Energy surged like a raging river, crashing towards the smiling Chifeng. Unexpectedly, Chifeng did not dodge or evade; with a light wave of his sleeve, he deflected all the attacks!
“Just a trivial skill, and you dare to show off? Truly overestimating yourself!”
“Oh, is that so? Then how about this?” Just after Chifeng disdainfully finished speaking, another voice echoed in mid-air! At the same time, a blinding light pierced through the night sky!
“Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear! Soaring Dragon strikes!” Ye Feng, hiding in the shadows, had long been aiming at Chifeng. Seizing the opportunity of his opponent’s underestimation, he erupted with force!
The powerful ancient Divine Spear once again displayed its unparalleled might! Even though Chifeng had one foot in the Divine Martial Realm, he ultimately failed to detect Ye Feng’s presence due to his carelessness! When he realized the terrifying power contained within that dazzling light!
The Dragon's Dance Spear had already grazed his shoulder! A blood arrow burst forth!
“Ah!” A scream erupted, completely igniting the tranquility of the forest!
