Chapter 345: Cunning Fox

Chapter 345: Cunning Fox

Throughout the ordeal, Yun Xiao only threw a single head into the fray. It seemed like he did hardly anything, yet he caused the Calamity Seal Purgatory and Leviathan Ravine to lose two peak powerhouses in the Genesis Spirit Realm. And in the Leviathan Ravine, even their Hell Warden met his demise in the Immortal Asylum!

Such an event was unheard of in history...

The four-person delegation of the Immortal Asylum now loomed over the other eight hells like a dark cloud.

"Let's head back to the Radiance Palace," Yun Xiao said with a smile to Mo Jianzhi, then turned and left as if nothing had happened.

"Does Exile Yun need" The Sword Warden started to offer his personal protection, but before he could finish, Yun Xiao left him with a simple, "No need."

"Understood." The Sword Warden nodded, already seeing Yun Xiao as a leader.

"Dad, was Exile Yun so sure that the Immortal Asylum was strong and would intervene?" Mu Dalong asked in a low voice, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Nonsense. His foresight surpasses ours. He can seize the initiative," the Sword Warden remarked thoughtfully.

"But what if the Immortal Asylum hadn't intervened just now? Wouldn't we have been in danger?" Mu Dalong remembered the scene, still feeling a bit scared. It was 8,000 vs 1,000a death sentence no matter how you sliced it!

"You don't understand," the Sword Warden said with a cold smile. "The alliance between the Talisman Emperor and the Wick Devil is above everyone. They led the seven hells against Yun Xiao. But the more terrifying Yun Xiao's abilities appear, the more some will fear him. Like the merfolk of the Reverie Abyss... When the real fight begins, who will truly exert themselves? That's always uncertain."

"I see," Mu Dalong nodded. She glanced across the way. Clearly, after the suppression by the Immortal Asylum, the other hells were chilled to the bone, each harboring their own thoughts and standing on different grounds.

"So, the only opportunity left for the Talisman Emperor and the Wick Devil to kill Exile Yun is in the upcoming second round?" Mu Dalong asked coldly.

"The Immortal Asylum emphasizes rules, but the Talisman Emperor and the Wick Devil are not the types to sit idly by. Stay vigilant," the Sword Warden cautioned gravely.

"Yes!" Mu Dalong nodded.

"Let's patch you up first," the Sword Warden said, looking at her tenderly. "This time... you were lucky to escape with your life."

"It wasn't so bad. I always had this feeling that Exile Yun wouldn't let those loyal to him die, so I wasn't afraid," Mu Dalong said, her eyes warming.

"You trust him that much?" the Sword Warden asked softly. "So, how did he slay Qingzan? Isn't she in the Perfect Heaven Sanctuary Realm?"

"Dad, that's a secret," Mu Dalong suddenly said with a playful smile.

"You child" The Sword Warden couldn't help but smile through his tears. He stroked his long beard, gazing in the direction of the Calamity Seal Purgatory, and remarked with a sigh, Today was truly exhilarating.

Why is that?

Ive always despised two women the most; one is Qingzan, and the other is that despicable old hag Fu Liuli. Today, both met more miserable ends than the other. How could that not be exhilarating?! The Sword Warden clenched his fist, his face a mix of dark satisfaction. The ancestors were right, trust in Exile Yun for eternal life.

"..." Mu Dalong remained silent. She found that ever since Yun Xiao, showed up, even her father seemed to have gotten more immature.

Meanwhile, the Fate Ocean Battle Royale continued, and the battles in the Eight Trigrams arena raged on.

Apart from the Sword Cultivators withdrawing from the fight, the seven hells continued to show no mercy in their alliance, fiercely competing for the title of Nine Hells Conqueror.

No one was willing to back down!

As time passed, more and more people retreated to their respective guest palaces to rest.

Moon Fairy laughed for a while at this. After his laughter subsided, he calmly said, Dont worry, he and I are equals. The Nine Hells are our common goal. To achieve it, the Calamity Seal Purgatory and the Rising Sun Inferno are our real enemies.

Really equals? she asked, concerned about this point.

Indeed it's just that he tends to be more dramatic, while I, on the other hand, am much purer, Moon Fairy claimed.

You pure? With all your tricks, you're definitely no saint! the Phoenix Empress snorted, still irked by the thought.

She had really lost out on this deal!

Speaking of which, you and Yun Xiao, dont have some weird relationship, do you? she asked, suddenly feeling a chill at the thought.

"What do you mean by weird relationship?"

"You know, man on top, with another man"

"Have you gone senile? Such wild thoughts?" Moon Fairy said, exasperated.

"You never know. You do look a lot like a girl." The Phoenix Empress laughed, then her gaze drifted downward, unable to help but remark, "Such a fine fox"

"I don't have time for this nonsense." Moon Fairy extended his hand to her. "Now that we're being honest, let's establish this alliance. Give me some startup funds."

"What startup funds?" The Phoenix Empress suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Making friends costs money," Moon Fairy explained.

"You?" She looked at the little fox, half laughing, half crying. This was like keeping a pricey pet foxlast time he wanted resources, now he wanted money!

"With the Nine Hells in flux, if you dont want to fall behind, you need to invest," he said bluntly.

"How much?" she asked, biting her lip.

"100 million Immortal Jades!" Moon Fairy said, not batting an eye.

The Phoenix Empress nearly choked. She looked at him incredulously. "Do you even realize how much that is?"

"Of course. Youre the only one who can afford it," he said.

"Youre asking for the moon!" she snapped.

"Stop dithering. Either pay up or I'll find another wealthy patron," he said.

"..." The Phoenix Empress was speechless. What in the world was this creature?

"If you werent so good-looking, Id tear that mouth of yours," she said coldly.

"Enough chit-chat, goodbye!" Moon Fairy got up to leave.

"W-wait!" she said sharply, biting her lip as she stared at him.

"What now?" he asked.

"You want 100 million Immortal Jades? Make it worth my while first!" she declared.

"..." Now, it was Moon Fairy's turn to be speechless. Ah well, he might as well consider repaying a debt to his main body. He coughed and said, "Let's get one thing straightpayment upfront."
