The two soon arrived at the basilica and presented the jade to Zhao Lingfeng.
Zhao Lingfeng stared at the exquisite white jade. It was the jade that he had been playing with for 20 years. He held it in his palm, feeling the familiar feeling and calmed down.
He nodded. "I received it. You can go back now."
"Yes." The two young men in white turned around and walked away.
They were slightly shocked. This was the Sky Flight Faction, the enemy of the Abstruse Heart Faction. The two of them had entered the enemy's lair. If they were not careful, they would be crushed into pieces.
A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. They could not act presumptuously in the Sky Flight Faction. It would be best if they did not cause any trouble. As long as they returned to the faction safely, they would be rewarded.
Zhao Lingfeng stared at the jade in his hand, as if he could feel Huang Tianyi's skin. He disappeared and reappeared at the foot of the mountain of the Abstruse Heart Faction in the next second. He had already transformed into a purple-faced elder.
Two young men in white appeared. Seeing him, they cupped their fists.
They were the disciples who had received Zhao Lingfeng earlier. Seeing Zhao Lingfeng, they immediately knew that he was an important guest. The faction leader had personally received him. Seeing him again, it was obvious that he was here to see the faction leader.
"Faction Leader Huang." Zhao Lingfeng cupped his fists.
One of the young men in white turned around and disappeared into the array.
Moments later, the purple-robed elder appeared again. He brought Zhao Lingfeng to the basilica and allowed Zhao Lingfeng to enter while the elder stayed outside.
Zhao Lingfeng stepped into the basilica and saw Huang Tianyi standing with her hands behind her back. She wore an apricot-yellow gown and had a face as white as jade. She was looking at him coldly. Zhao Lingfeng could not help but smile. "Tianyi, you are finally willing to see me again."
"I called you here for official business," Huang Tianyi said coldly. "If you want a truce, that's fine."
Zhao Lingfeng's expression turned serious. He wiped the smile off his face and looked at her seriously. "What are your conditions?"
"Wu Yuansi," Huang Tianyi said. "He must die."
Zhao Lingfeng said in a low voice, "Impossible!"
Wu Yuansi was the most likely candidate to be the next faction leader. Even if ten or twenty elders died, Wu Yuansi could not die. He would not agree to that.
Huang Tianyi said coldly, "If Wu Yuansi does not die, where will the Abstruse Heart Faction's dignity be?!"
Zhao Lingfeng said, "Don't forget that we also lost Huang Heming. Your Profound Heart Sect has already lost enough face."
"Hmph, where's our Mo Zhixuan?" Huang Tianyi sneered, "Wu Yuansi must die. Otherwise, your Flying Heaven Sect will suffer our wrath. I'm sure more people will die, and Wu Yuansi will not be able to live!"
"The alliance of your three sects might be strong, but you might not be able to do anything to us!" Zhao Lingfeng said, shaking his head. "At worst, you can just close your sects and not come out. That hidden pawn of yours is useless."
Huang Tianyi frowned and glared at him.
"Hu Lingshan is one of your people, right?" Zhao Lingfeng asked.
"Impressive!" Huang Tianyi scoffed and did not deny it.
Since Zhao Lingfeng had said it out loud, it meant that he had truly seen through their ploy. Although it was a pity, it was not a big deal. Between open and open schemes, open schemes were much more powerful. The alliance of the three sects was an open scheme, so there was no need for them to play any tricks.
Zhao Lingfeng shook his head and said, "If we hide inside the sect, you won't be able to break through. However, you can't keep surrounding us, right? If this drags on for too long, you won't be able to hold on."
"Let's see who can last longer." Huang Tianyi smirked. "If Wu Yuansi doesn't die, he can wait for us to surround him. There's no need to say anything else!"
"… How about this, for the sake of your reputation, we'll change to someone else." Zhao Lingfeng pondered and said, "Let's change to Wu Yuansi's appearance and die by your hands. What do you think?"
"What a joke!" Huang Tianyi said coldly. "Do you think you can fool the others?"
The Heavenly Demonic Power could take on many forms, but once it stopped, the user would revert to his original appearance. Without the Heavenly Demonic Power after death, the user would no longer be able to maintain the Heavenly Demonic Power and would revert to his original appearance.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "As long as we do it carefully, we can fool them."
"Even if we can't," Huang Tianyi said coldly. "He killed so many of our elders, and he still wants to live? How am I going to explain this to the sect? "
Zhao Lingfeng frowned. "Is there no other way?"
Huang Tianyi shook her head. "Impossible!"
"Sigh …" Zhao Lingfeng said, "How about I exchange a secret for Wu Yuansi's life?"
"What secret?" Huang Tianyi frowned.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "It's about the Asura who can cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power."
Huang Tianyi's expression changed. "Is there really such an Asura?"
"There's a guess, but it hasn't been confirmed yet." Zhao Lingfeng said, "It's very possible."
Huang Tianyi frowned and did not say anything.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "This secret isn't worth Wu Yuansi's life? Forget it then! "
"… No." Huang Tianyi shook his head slowly.
Zhao Lingfeng sighed. "Forget it then. I'll take my leave!"
Huang Tianyi stared at him coldly as he disappeared from the basilica. He then stood by the window with his hands behind his back.
—
Zhao Lingfeng had just returned to the basilica when Hu Tianlai came over.
Zhao Lingfeng stared at him coldly.
Hu Tianlai smiled shamelessly. "Faction Leader, you met Faction Leader Huang again?"
"Yes." Zhao Lingfeng was annoyed. "Why are you staring at me instead of doing what you should be doing!"
"I was waiting for good news from you, Faction Leader." Hu Tianlai chuckled. "Has Faction Leader Huang changed his mind?"
"No." Zhao Lingfeng shook his head.
"That can't be, right?" Hu Tianlai said. "If he really hasn't changed his mind, why did he call the Faction Leader over? … There must be some good news, right? "
"No," Zhao Lingfeng said.
Hu Tianlai smiled. "There's nothing the Faction Leader can't say. It can't be about old times, right?"
Zhao Lingfeng scoffed. "Alright, she has a condition. She wants Yuansi to pay with his life, and then the war will cease."
"What?!" Hu Tianlai raised his voice.
Zhao Lingfeng glared at him. "What are you making a fuss about!"
"The Faction Leader didn't agree, right?" Hu Tianlai asked.
Zhao Lingfeng sneered. "What do you think?"
Hu Tianlai let out a long sigh and relaxed. He shook his head. "Since when did Faction Leader Huang become so ruthless? She's going to end the glory of the Flying Heaven Faction! "
He felt that the next Faction Leader was Chu Li.
In his eyes, Chu Li's cultivation level was high, his intelligence was high, and his intuition was sharp. No one could compare to him. As long as nothing unexpected happened to him, he would definitely be the next Faction Leader.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "Hmph, even if we go to war with them, we can't hand Yuan Si over."
"That's right." Hu Tianlai nodded.
Zhao Lingfeng pondered. "In any case, we still have to be careful, especially those from the Dark Temple."
"I'll ask everyone to be careful." Hu Tianlai nodded.
After he left the basilica, he went to Chu Li's courtyard and told Chu Li about Huang Tianyi's condition. It was also to let Chu Li know how much the Faction Leader valued him.
Chu Li thought for a while and shook his head. "Master's Junior, you can actually agree to their condition."
"Hmm …?" Hu Tianlai looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li said, "I had a fortuitous encounter in the Outer Heavenly Realm. There's a secret skill that allows me to fake my death. As long as my body isn't harmed, I can come back to life and fool them."
"You've had a lot of fortuitous encounters." Hu Tianlai laughed.
