Chapter 709 A Deal From Darkness

While Yun Lintian was preparing to absorb the Tree of Life, Du Huanfeng's group was currently lost in the forest maze.

"Can't find the way yet?" Sitting on the Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Du Huanfeng looked at Du San and others with dissatisfaction. He had been walking around this place for hours now. Whichever direction he chose, he would return to the original position in the end.

The expressions of Du San and others were unsightly. On the Central Continent, each one of them could be regarded as a top powerhouse, yet they couldn't find a way to break this illusion formation. If this matter spread out, people would undoubtedly laugh at them.

"Young Master, this formation is clearly on another level. The Western Continent is full of mysteries. I'm afraid this should be something left behind since the ancient era." The old man, Du Shi, said helplessly.

"So what? Are you finding excuses for your incompetence? My Myriad Pill Palace has spent countless fortunes raising all of you. I don't care whatever ancient formations are. You have to find a way to break it for me." Du Huanfeng shouted angrily.

Du Shi and others were speechless and sighed inwardly. There was nothing they could do in this situation.

"Kekeke…"

All of a sudden, a peal of hoarse laughter resounded in everyone's ears, causing them to raise their guard and look around vigilantly.

Du Huanfeng's body tensed up. His palm was tightly pressed on the cauldron, ready to escape at any moment. He asked loudly. "Who are you to pretend to be mysterious here?"

"I can see your heart is full of darkness. You're really suitable to be this king's pawn." The voice resounded once again. If Yun Lintian was here, he would definitely recognize the owner of this voice. It was no other than the Dragon of Death.

The moment when Iryena unsealed the entrance of the dark hole, the Dragon of Death had secretly sent a wisp of his consciousness away and ended up discovering Du Huanfeng's group.

At first, he wanted to turn these people into his puppets, but when he noticed the Soul Suppressing Cauldron, he immediately changed his mind and tried to manipulate them instead.

"Why don't you show yourself?" Du Huanfeng said coldly.

Swoosh—

Suddenly, a group of black mist appeared several meters away from Du Huanfeng's group, slowly taking a human form.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jue Kong, the Dragon of Death." The black figure said. His voice was hoarse, easily shaking any listener's soul.

"Dragon of Death?" Du Huanfeng's brow creased tightly together. The moment Jue Kong appeared, he had already perceived the Abyssal Energy within him. Undoubtedly, this Jue Kong was related to the Poison Valley.

Jue Kong seemed to see through Du Huanfeng's thoughts. He laughed gently and said. "Kekeke… It seems the later generations are still aware of our Abyssal Emperor's army."

"Abyssal Emperor?" Du Huanfeng had never heard such a name before. "Are you a Poison Valley member?"

"Poison Valley? What is that?" Jue Kong was slightly confused. "I've been locked up in this place for more than four thousand years. Look like this world has changed a lot."

Du Huanfeng's eyes narrowed. He seemed to figure out something. This Jue Kong must be one of the Abyssal Beasts that appeared in the incident four thousand years ago.

Thinking of this, he probed. "How did you end up in this place?"

Jue Kong obviously saw Du Huanfeng's intention, but he didn't care much. "I've been suppressed here by the Tree of Life. I see that you are similar to me when I was young. Why don't we join forces to take down the Tree of Life? Of course, you can take it away when the time comes. It's useless to me."

Du Huanfeng's eyes flashed with a strange light. He thought for a moment and said. "You're obviously stronger than us here. You can kill us at any moment. Why should I help you?"

"Heh, greedy bastard… But I like it." Jue Kong laughed. Talking with a clever and greedy person was indeed easy.

"As you can see, I am just a wisp of my true body's consciousness. All I can give you right now is my profound art. You can check it out and decide whether you want to cooperate with me." Jue Kong opened his palm, and a small black bead appeared. He flicked his wrist slightly, and the black bead went straight to Du Huanfeng.

"Be careful, Young Master!" Du San quickly appeared before Du Huanfeng and conjured a profound barrier.

However, the black bead simply penetrated his barrier, passing through his shoulder before going straight to Du Huanfeng's hand.

? Du San and others were dumbfounded by the scene. They couldn't understand what was going on.

"Tsk, you humans have become this weak? You don't even know you cannot use profound energy to block my memory sphere." Jue Kong looked at Du San as if he was looking at a fool.

At the same time, he could roughly gauge the human's current strength. Compared to four thousand years ago, the current humans seem to severely lack profound knowledge.

This is good as well. I can dominate this world by myself at this rate. All I have to do now is get rid of that little bitch Tree of Life…. Jue Kong thought.

At this moment, a current of knowledge flushed into Du Huanfeng's brain, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes. Countless runes and ancient descriptions appeared in his mind. It was as if someone had imprinted knowledge directly into his soul.

"Young Master?" Du San called out worriedly.

Du Huanfeng didn't respond. He continued to absorb the knowledge for a full hour before opening his eyes. A trace of excitement flashed through his eyes as he looked at Jue Kong. "This is all you have?"

Jue Kong laughed. "Kekeke! This is just an appetizer. Wait until you help me get out. There are a lot of good things waiting for you."

Du Huanfeng stared at Jue Kong for a while, and a grin appeared on the corner of his lips. "You better bring me out of this place first and we can talk about it."

"Simple." Jue Kong responded. "However, that little bitch is monitoring you right now. It's better to wait for a week."

Hearing this, Du Huanfeng had no objection. "Deal!"
