The Sky Saintess landed next to Nie Tian and asked with a frown, "Nie Tian, you already knew it was me?"
She was somewhat surprised that Nie Tian was still able to discover her aura despite hiding it so perfectly.
"I guessed it." Nie Tian smiled faintly: "If Your Highness hadn't taken action, we wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
Indeed, if it had only been Nie Tian and Apocalypse 12, even if they had burned their flesh auras to launch a joint attack, they still wouldn't have been able to contend against the seven bones. Fortunately, the Holy Daughter of Heaven's strike had seriously injured them.
Otherwise, the seven bones definitely wouldn't have let them go.
"You've saved me before, and I've saved you once, so we can be considered even." The Heavenly Saintess spoke with a heavy voice, her face like frost without the slightest fluctuation.
"Your Highness Saintess, if I'm not mistaken, you've been lurking there for a long time, right?" Nie Tian said with a playful smile.
The Sky Saintess frowned and asked coldly: "What are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say is that from the moment I entered the Shadow Moon Forest, Your Highness has been following me," Nie Tian said with a smile: "Your Highness saving me shouldn't be as simple as repaying a debt of gratitude, right?"
The Sky Saintess slightly furrowed her brows in an awkward manner, but she maintained her cold attitude: "All of you are heavily injured, so I can protect you for now."
The corner of Nie Tian's mouth twitched as he solemnly asked: "What are the conditions?"
The Sky Saintess' expression sank as she spoke in a Cold tone: "You already know, so why do you have to say it?"
"Holy Rainbow Flame, right?" Nie Tian asked with a smile. "How many?"
He had long since noticed that the Sky Saintess saving them was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
For the Sky Saintess to appear in such a timely manner and deal a fatal blow to the seven bones, it was clear that she had been observing from the side for a long time, waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Under these circumstances, there was only one explanation: the Sky Saintess had been following Nie Tian and Apocalypse 12 all this time!
The Heaven's Saintess was definitely not following Nie Tian to repay his kindness. She had other motives.
If there was anything on Nie Tian and Apocalypse 12 that could interest the Sky Saintess, it could only be the Sacred Rainbow Flowing Flame!
Nie Tian had already guessed this, but he wanted the Saintess of Heaven to say it herself.
"The Pardon Sky Clan gave you all the Sacred Rainbow Flames we collected in the Ancestral Sacred Land, right?" The Heaven Saintess furrowed her brows, and her beautiful eyes flickered with undisguised desire.
Even though she was a Heaven's Saintess, under the temptation of a supreme treasure like the Sacred Rainbow Flowing Flame, she found it difficult to restrain herself.
"Yes." Nie Tian smiled faintly. He had already guessed that the Saintess of Heaven would say that.
"How many?" the Saintess of Heaven continued to ask.
"How much do you want?" Nie Tian smiled faintly and asked.
He had obtained more than nine thousand bottles from the Pardon Sky Clan. After giving half to Apocalypse 12, he still had more than four thousand bottles left. To him, this was an immeasurable amount of wealth.
The Sacred Rainbow Flowing Flame could enhance a cultivator's bloodline. The disciples of the great factions of the sacred world would definitely be willing to pay a great price for something like this.
Thus, even someone of the Heaven's Saintess' status had to lower herself before Nie Tian.
The Saintess of Heaven clearly wanted to know just how many Sacred Rainbow Flowing Flames Nie Tian had so that she could state a better price.
However, Nie Tian wasn't that stupid. He wouldn't reveal his trump card just to be taken advantage of.
The Saintess of Heaven didn't say anything. Instead, she raised a single finger.
"One?" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. He smiled. "Given Your Highness' status, it seems that you're underestimating yourself by becoming someone's bodyguard for just one bottle."
"This Saintess said one hundred bottles!" The Saintess of Heaven frowned and said coldly.
"One hundred bottles?" Nie Tian was taken aback. He then smiled, "So Your Highness isn't underestimating yourself. You're asking for an exorbitant price instead."
"Hmph!" The Holy Daughter of Heaven let out a cold laugh and said, "Nie Tian, you've got at least a thousand vials of Holy Rainbow Flames from the Pardoning Heaven Clan, right? I'm only asking for a hundred, which is already a bargain for you. In your current state, even a few Sage Tianyi would be enough to kill the two of you, let alone an expert like the Pardon Sky Seven Bones. "
Nie Tian's eyes flickered. He chuckled and said, "So Your Highness knows that I can't refuse. That's why you're asking for one hundred bottles."
A hundred bottles of Holy Color Flowing Flame was indeed a lot.
However, that was only if the Saintess thought that Nie Tian only had one thousand bottles.
If she knew that Nie Tian actually obtained close to ten thousand bottles from the Pardon Sky Clan, she would probably ask for one thousand.
Nie Tian and Apocalypse 12 were both heavily injured. Just as the Saintess had said, any two Sage Tianyi cultivators would be enough to take their lives.
Thus, Nie Tian had no choice but to accept the Saintess' proposal.
"Nie Tian, do you agree?" The Saintess saw the playful expression on Nie Tian's face. She seemed worried that he wouldn't agree, so she asked in a deep voice.
"Since Your Highness has spoken, of course I agree." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "However, I have a condition that I hope Your Highness can agree to."
"Speak!" The Saintess was cold and straightforward.
"In the following period of time in the Shadow Moon Forest, I want the Saintess to follow me closely until I walk out of the Shadow Moon Forest alive." Nie Tian faintly smiled, his face calm.
"Sure!" The Saintess frowned and agreed without hesitation.
"Many thanks." With a faint smile, Nie Tian took out a hundred vials of Holy Rainbow Flames and tossed them to the Holy Daughter of Heaven. Smiling, he said, "Given your status, Holy Daughter, I'm sure you won't refuse to do what you want."
"Don't worry, this Saintess will keep her word!" The Saintess took the bottles. After confirming that there were no problems, she said solemnly.
"That's good." Nie Tian smiled faintly and then glanced at the sleeping Apocalypse 12. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He wouldn't hand over the one hundred bottles. Once Apocalypse 12 woke up, he would take them back from him. Moreover, he would pay double the price.
"Let's go." Nie Tian smiled faintly and then flew forward with Apocalypse 12.
About half an hour later, Nie Tian confirmed that no one was following them. He found a remote valley and entered it.
Both he and Apocalypse 12 were heavily injured and needed to rest immediately.
Nie Tian's group of three entered the valley. After checking that there was nothing out of the ordinary, they sat down and rested.
In the blink of an eye, half a day later, Nie Tian stood up. His aura had mostly recovered.
Apocalypse 12's aura had also stabilized, but he was still unconscious.
"Nie Tian!" At this moment, the Saintess's voice rang out. There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, as if she had discovered something.
"What is it?" Nie Tian frowned, his expression changing slightly.
