Bai Yiqiu stared at Long Chen for a long while before his eyes swept over Yun Mei'er and Yu Fengdan.
His tone was rather sarcastic as he continued, "The three of you are well-known figures. Why have you come to my White Flower City today?"
Bai Yiqiu was not an idiot. Since Yun Mei 'er and Long Chen had taken the initiative to look for him, there must be something important.
He didn't believe that the Yun Family, who had been watching from the sidelines, would suddenly be kind enough to lend a helping hand.
He also did not believe that Long Chen would chat with him for no reason …
"We've come to retrieve the Soul of Purgatory that Alchemist Yu gave you. As long as you hand it over, my Yun Family will guarantee that your Bai Family will not have to worry about anything for a hundred years." Yun Mei 'er did not hide anything and directly stated her intentions.
He had no worries for a hundred years.
For the current Bai Family, this was like charcoal in snowy weather.
The many Heavenly Immortals behind Bai Yiqiu couldn't help but discuss among themselves. Many of them even nodded in agreement.
These people knew that compared to Bai Yiqiu's crazy plan, having the Yun Family's help would definitely be the best outcome.
After a round of discussion, the crowd stepped forward and whispered to Bai Yiqiu.
Yun Mei 'er seemed to be quite confident because she knew that what the Bai Family needed the most now was the support of the Yun Family.
Bai Yiqiu stared at Yun Mei 'er and the other two and said in a deep voice, "I can give you the Purgatory's Soul, but you must help me kill the Yuan Family's Patriarch first!"
The Master of the Yuan Family.
This clan wasn't a subordinate clan of the Yun Family. Instead, they were subordinates of the Heavenly Palace's sovereign.
Yun Mei 'er shook her head. She knew very well that this request was impossible to fulfill. At the very least, the Yun Family absolutely could not do anything.
This was also the tacit understanding between the Cloud Nation and the Peach Blossom Divine Nation.
The forces of the two Divine Kingdoms could fight as they pleased, but the people of the two Divine Kingdoms were not allowed to personally kill the Sovereigns of either side.
Once he made a move, it was tantamount to declaring war!
The conflict between the Yun Family and the Yuan Family could be supported by both nations, but the Yun Family could not participate.
Bai Yiqiu naturally knew about Yun Mei 'er's difficulties. He looked at Long Chen playfully.
He knew that the Soul of Purgatory that Yun Mei 'er wanted today was most likely for Long Chen.
Long Chen isn't a citizen of the Cloud Nation. He isn't even a citizen of the fifth heaven.
He was undoubtedly the most suitable person to kill the Yuan Family Master.
Unfortunately, Long Chen shook his head and said to Bai Yiqiu, "I've never met the Master of the Yuan Family. I definitely won't take his life for the sake of Purgatory's Soul."
Long Chen's voice paused for a moment before it turned cold. "In comparison, I should have killed you in the Netherworld Sea of Flames. If I were to kill you now and seize the Purgatory Soul, it would be easier for me to accept …"
Long Chen's voice caused the Immortal Realm experts of the One Bright Tomorrow to feel as if they were facing a great enemy.
Bai Yiqiu shook his head and said, "I know that with my cultivation, I'm definitely not your opponent. However, believe me, even if you kill me, you might not be able to obtain the Soul of Purgatory."
"However, if you don't kill the Yuan Family Master, you have to help me retrieve the Purple Cloud Arrow that the Yuan Family took from my Yun Family!"
The Purple Cloud Arrow was a Sacred Weapon, and its ranking on the Sacred Weapon List wasn't low.
It was an item that had been passed down in the Yun Family for generations. The conflict between the two clans started because of this arrow.
Yun Mei 'er nodded. With the Bai Family's understanding of this weapon, it would be enough to intimidate the Yuan Family.
Long Chen took a deep look at Bai Yiqiu before he nodded and asked Yun Mei 'er about the location of the Yuan Family. Then, he turned around and rushed out of the city.
Before he left.
He left behind a message, "Prepare the Soul of Purgatory within three days!"
Seeing that Long Chen had left, Yun Mei 'er and Yu Fengdan also left one after another.
However, after they left, Bai Yiqiu's eyes became even colder. A sinister, cold smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
…
As Long Chen left the city, his face was filled with ridicule.
He had long been aware of Bai Yiqiu's abnormality. However, just as Bai Yiqiu had said, Long Chen had no idea where the Soul of Purgatory was at the moment.
If he rashly killed Bai Yiqiu, things might become extremely troublesome instead.
Bai Yiqiu's words seemed to be flawless, but in reality, there was a huge mistake.
That is, his goal from the beginning to the end was not to seek peace.
Otherwise, the simplest way to agree to Yun Mei 'er's conditions was to even obtain more resources through negotiations.
However, he wanted Long Chen to kill the Yuan Family Master and take back the Divine Weapon.
Bai Yiqiu had no intention of making peace at all.
"Let's get the Divine Weapon first, then act according to circumstances," Long Chen muttered to himself. He could only take things one step at a time.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Long Chen was unwilling to kill Bai Yiqiu.
He knew that Bai Yiqiu would never say that he would not be able to find the Soul of Purgatory if he did not have some confidence.
Even if Bai Yiqiu could be killed, Long Chen could not touch him at this moment.
Following Yun Mei 'er's instructions, he quickly arrived at the city where the Yuan Family was stationed.
The moment he saw the city, Long Chen understood why the Bai Family and the Yuan Family had such a deep hatred for each other.
Behind the two cities were three unbroken mountains. At this moment, one could see that there was a winding river flowing through the mountains, passing by the Yuan Family's city.
Long Chen had seen this river with his own eyes when he was in Bai Yiqiu's city.
A river passing through two cities with different standpoints, the danger could be imagined.
Long Chen's guess was not wrong, but the biggest reason was that the Yuan Family and the Bai Family had long been incompatible with each other.
A stream would always be the cause of conflict between the two families.
Even when the stream flowed backwards, the Yun Family used a highly toxic substance to kill at least hundreds of people in the Yuan Family.
Of course, such a thing was by no means an exception, and the Yuan Family also used such means.
Long Chen concealed himself and entered the city. Soon, he disappeared into the shadows.
… …
Yun Mei 'er and Yu Fengdan had been waiting for Long Chen's return in the Bai Family's city, but they were not worried about Long Chen's safety.
What the two of them really wanted to see was Long Chen starting to refine pills!
Yu Fengdan couldn't help but ask Yun Mei 'er. "Was the Sheng Yuan Pill really refined by Long Chen? And the three alchemists brought from the tenth heaven were also taught by him?"
Yun Mei 'er nodded. She recounted the events of the tenth heaven's Long Chen refining the Divine Yuan Pill one by one. There was even a hint of reminiscence in her voice.
Three days passed in a flash. In the early morning, Yun Mei 'er and Yu Fengdan, together with Bai Yiqiu, set up a banquet and waited in the main hall.
Because last night, the news of the Yuan Family's residence being robbed had already spread like wildfire.
When Long Chen returned, the Bai Family had already prepared a banquet.
Long Chen strode over with three crossbow bolts of different colors behind him.
Yun Mei 'er and the others weren't too surprised. After all, with Long Chen's cultivation, there were few people who could match him.
