"Submit to me?"
Yun Fan frowned and could not help but ask in confusion.
Cheng Jing and the others behind Yun Fan were in disbelief. How could Beigong Jian's twelve Holy Guards submit to someone else?
"Master Yun Fan, you must make a careful decision. I suspect that there's a trap here!"
Cheng Jing stepped forward and whispered in Yun Fan's ear.
Yun Fan nodded slightly. He naturally understood this. He was a little taken aback by the sudden 180-degree change in the twelve Holy Guards.
"Give me a reason!"
Yun Fan took a breath and asked indifferently.
If they couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he would still kill them all.
Although his spiritual energy reserves were limited, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill them with the Ghost Weep God Deterrent Ruler.
"Master, we fear your strength and know that we can't escape from your hands. If we want to live, we can only submit to you."
The guard replied respectfully, "Moreover, even if one or two of us manage to escape, we can't return to the Beigong Family. The Beigong Family has strict rules. Just now, we didn't listen to master … Oh, it's Beigong Jian's order. It's already a capital offense. We'll die if we go back.
Instead of drifting freely outside, it's better to submit to a wise master. Master Yun Fan is the one we all approve of! "
After the guard finished speaking, the other eleven also clasped their fists and bowed.
Yun Fan narrowed his eyes and pondered in silence.
Cheng Jing, who was beside him, advised again, "Master Yun Fan, you must think twice about this. If these twelve people aren't sincere and attack us when we're unprepared, we'll be in danger!"
Ouyang Nan also said, "Master, although I'm always at odds with Cheng Jing, I agree with her this time. These people can't be left alive. It's better to get rid of them completely!"
Hearing their words, the leader of the twelve holy guards also became anxious, "Sir, we, the twelve holy guards, sincerely submit to you. We definitely don't have the slightest intention of betraying you. Please understand, sir!"
Yun Fan was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Then how can I trust you?"
The leader of the twelve Holy Guards said, "Master, if you plan to go to the Beigong Family in the future, I'm willing to be your guide. The Beigong Family has a secret plane. It's said that there's a sacred tree in the secret plane. The Beigong Family relied on this sacred tree to soar into the sky and become one of the few large families in the four domains of the middle-rank continent.
The secret of this sacred tree is only known to a few core members of the Beigong Family, and the way to enter the secret plane is only known to the central leadership of the Beigong Family. This humble one has eavesdropped on some of the ways to enter the secret plane, and I can lead you there when the time comes! "
"… sacred … sacred tree?!"
When Yun Fan heard this, his eyes narrowed.
"That's right!"
The leader of the twelve holy guards nodded heavily, "That is indeed a divine tree, but I can't describe what it is exactly. It should be an existence from the Primordial Age. After absorbing the essence of nature for countless years, it can be said to have transcended the mortal world. In short, if you can get the sacred tree, you can easily step into the Void Realm! "
After this person finished speaking, Cheng Jing added, "Lord Yun Fan, don't believe his rumors so easily. Perhaps he just wants to trick you into going to the Beigong family so that he can capture us all in one fell swoop."
"That's a possibility. Please reconsider, Master Yun Fan!" Ouyang Nan reminded him seriously with cupped fists.
Yun Fan narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
He knew that Cheng Jing and Ouyang Nan's worries were not unfounded. It was better to be safe than sorry. Both of them had his best interests at heart.
However, Yun Fan's heart palpitated with eagerness when it came to the Divine Tree. An ancient tree that had existed since the Immemorial Era or even longer. It was likely that it possessed an extremely dense energy.
In this way, when he tried to break through to the Void Realm in the future, the supply of energy would not be a problem.
Moreover, there might be some unknown secrets on this ancient tree. There must be something incredible about it for it to be able to survive for so long!
"Alright, then I'll take you in!"
At the thought of this, Yun Fan said calmly.
"Master, please reconsider!"
"Yes, Master, please reconsider!"
Cheng Jing and Ouyang Nan said anxiously.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yun Fan waved his hand and gave the two of them a comforting look.
"Thank you, Master. From now on, the twelve of us will be your guards. We'll be loyal to you no matter what!"
The twelve Holy Guards all knelt down in front of Yun Fan.
Yun Fan waved his hand again and said, "I don't need you to risk your lives for me. You can betray Beigong Jian in order to survive, and you can betray me, Yun Fan, in order to survive in the future …"
"Master Yun Fan …" The leader of the twelve Holy Guards wanted to say something but stopped.
"Let me finish!"
Yun Fan interrupted. "The relationship between you and me is just a partnership. I don't need you to risk your lives for me! I'll spare your lives today, as long as you keep your promise and bring me to the secret area of the Divine Tree when I need you in the future. That's not too much, is it? "
The twelve Holy Guards looked at each other. After a moment of silence, the leader took a deep breath and bowed to Yun Fan again. He said sincerely, "Master Yun Fan, the twelve of us are convinced. Don't worry, we'll definitely do what we say!"
Yun Fan nodded slightly and said, "However, before that, I need to make some preparations …"
As he said that, he took out twelve brownish-yellow pills from his storage ring and continued, "These are poison pills that I developed. I'm the only one in the world who can detoxify it. Take them, and our partnership will officially begin. After the partnership is over, I'll naturally detoxify you!"
The twelve Holy Guards looked at each other again. Then, the leader gritted his teeth and nodded heavily. "Yes, Master Yun Fan!"
As he said that, he took the lead and swallowed the pills that Yun Fan threw at him. The remaining eleven Holy Guards also swallowed the pills without much hesitation.
Yun Fan nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction.
Cheng Jing, Ouyang Nan, and the others sighed softly. There was still a hint of worry in their eyes.
Yun Fan only smiled slightly and did not explain anything.
The reason why he believed the twelve Holy Guards and believed that the Beigong Family really had the Divine Tree was because Beigong Wen and Beigong Jian both had treasures in the shape of tree branches.
These tree branches must have come from the Divine Tree and were later refined into treasures by experts.
If a small branch was already so powerful, then how powerful would the entire tree be?
While Yun Fan was deep in thought, numerous rushing wind sounds were once again transmitted from the distant empty space, causing everyone's nerves to tense up once again!
