Chapter 40 Willing to Take the Bait
Hua Yunfei had made up his mind. Regardless of whether he could successfully lure the Ruthless Clan into Zishan, he no longer wanted to continue playing along with them.
He had originally planned to settle his scores with the Ruthless Clan after he had cultivated to a certain level and was able to face them more calmly.
But as the days went by, he realized he was wrong.
If he continues to be so insincere, his mindset may be affected, which will be very detrimental to his spiritual practice in the long run.
This world is all about forging ahead relentlessly, fighting your way up to the Emperor realm!
Hua Yunfei reflected on himself and realized that he was too young to hide his talents; he should have shown them off like a sharp awl in a bag!
This is also why he used ruthless methods to personally kill all the geniuses of Fang Yuan and other ruthless individuals.
So what if they're a ruthless lineage? They're just a bunch of outdated and conservative people. Sooner or later, they'll be swept into the trash can!
In any case, Hua Yunfei now believes that he has no weaknesses and can do whatever he wants.
His biggest weakness is his family in Xingfeng. With Wei Yi looking after them, he has no worries at all.
Having figured all this out, Hua Yunfei's mind became clear, and his entire consciousness seemed to have been elevated and strengthened.
He stepped out of the magic array and gazed into the distance, hundreds of miles away.
Two powerful imperial weapons could be vaguely seen confronting each other in that direction, ready to unleash their ultimate divine might at any moment.
"Hurry up!"
The big black dog beckoned to Hua Yunfei, and it and Ye Fan were already standing on a platform.
Hua Yunfei flashed into the array platform and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Another important location for the demon race, hundreds of thousands of miles away."
With a flash of light, they disappeared from the spot.
In a mountain range, the vegetation is lush and the trees are shady, with many trees that require several people to encircle.
This is the scene Hua Yunfei saw after emerging from the domain gate.
He was somewhat surprised, as he rarely saw such a vibrant place in the Northern Region.
Clearly, this is also located in a sizable oasis.
Hua Yunfei sent the big black dog to find out Yan Ruyu's whereabouts, hoping to see this demon princess immediately, but was told that Yan Ruyu had not yet returned.
Left with no other choice, they had to stay there and wait for the outcome of the great battle between the Yao Guang Holy Land and the demon race and the thirteen bandits.
The next day, Hua Yunfei, accompanied by his big black dog, roamed the oases of Anzhou, searching for disciples of the Yao Guang sect.
Finally, they found a large group of Yao Guang disciples in an oasis, who were besieging a band of bandits.
After observing for a while, Hua Yunfei finally found a suitable opportunity.
A wisp of his divine thought, carrying the forged holy skin created by the Black Emperor, left his body and possessed a bearded bandit who had just fallen.
Then, Hua Yunfei's divine sense controlled the bandit and sent him charging back into the battlefield.
"boom!"
The bearded bandit returned to the battlefield and immediately activated the sacred skin to fight the enemy, shattering a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm of the Yao Guang Sacred Land with a loud bang.
"How dare you!"
Upon seeing this, an elder from the nearby Yao Guang Holy Land teleported over and attacked repeatedly.
The bearded bandit urged the Holy Skin to fight him, but was soon killed. The Holy Skin then fell into the hands of this elder from the Dragon Transformation Realm.
The man held the sacred leather and examined it closely, carefully putting it away as if it were a secret treasure.
"It's done!"
As the Holy Skin fell into the hands of the elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land, the man and the dog exchanged a smile.
The big black dog tampered with this sacred skin, so only powerful figures can see what's on it.
Those whose cultivation level is insufficient will find it as if they are reading a wordless book.
Furthermore, they left a special fluctuation on the sacred skin with the Devouring Demon Cover, which any cultivator who practices the Devouring Demon Art will sense upon approaching it.
The cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Realm are already considered the backbone of the Holy Land, and they will inevitably have the opportunity to come into contact with half-step Great Powers or truly Great Powers.
Therefore, it won't be long before this sacred skin is exposed.
Moreover, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. Since the map of the Holy Skin points to Purple Mountain, the Holy Skin can't possibly only contain clues about the Devouring Demon Cover.
The big black dog also attached information about the Wushi Bell to it; the legacy of the Wushi Emperor is the core of this treasure map.
The Devouring Demon Cover is merely an additional feature.
"Let's go back and see if the ruthless lineage will take the bait."
"It would be best if it succeeded, but there's no real loss if it doesn't."
The man and the dog returned to the demon clan's encampment.
A few days later, the news finally arrived.
The anticipated showdown between supreme imperial weapons did not occur.
At the last moment, both sides returned to rationality and did not go to such a crazy point.
The great battle between supreme imperial weapons often results in widespread devastation and affects countless surrounding territories.
The holy lands of Dao Yi and Wan Chu, who had been watching the spectacle without participating in the campaign against the thirteen bandits, also intervened, demanding that both sides temporarily cease hostilities.
Especially after the Yaochi Holy Land came to the scene, neither the Thirteen Bandits nor the Demon Clan nor the Yao Guang Holy Land could afford to give each other any face.
This is a lineage that truly produced an emperor, with an incredibly profound foundation.
Furthermore, for so many millennia, the Yaochi Holy Land has remained peaceful and undisturbed, never initiating any battles, and maintaining excellent relations with all major powers.
It can almost be said to be the most well-regarded holy site.
With all the holy lands joining the fray, this battle was naturally out of the question.
After all, the Northern Region has been in great turmoil recently.
Many forces and independent cultivators took advantage of the chaos to loot and plunder, causing the war zone to expand and severely impacting many forces.
They've had enough.
In the oasis, Hua Yunfei, Ye Fan, and the big black dog huddled together, discussing the impact of this ceasefire on their plans.
"Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. If I were a ruthless person, I wouldn't believe any news about the Devouring Demon Cover at this critical juncture."
Ye Fan shook his head, feeling that after the incident of the demon clan's ambush, the Ruthless Clan would not fall for it.
"I don't think so!"
The big black dog was quite excited, feeling that the Ruthless Clan would definitely go to Zishan.
It expresses its own opinion.
Initially, when the Ruthless Clan obtained the Sacred Skin, their first reaction was naturally that the demon race was setting a trap for them, but upon deeper reflection, they began to doubt themselves.
First of all, the demon race definitely doesn't know the true identity of their ruthless lineage, otherwise they would have revealed it long ago.
Let them make the Yaoguang Holy Land a target of public criticism.
Secondly, Purple Mountain is clearly a better place for an ambush than that demon clan's encampment. If it's another demon clan trap, why didn't the demon clan use it before?
Now that there's a ceasefire, this is the first time they've pulled this stunt; it doesn't make sense.
After listening to the big black dog's analysis, Hua Yunfei and Ye Fan couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
It seems... to make some sense?
"In that case, keep an eye on the movements of the Ruthless Clan. If there are any unusual developments, Black Emperor, you should return to Purple Mountain immediately."
"I'll go see Yan Ruyu when she arrives!" Hua Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
In the following days, the Black Emperor closely monitored the movements of the Yao Guang Holy Land through the demon race and bandits.
Just three days later, they received news that the Holy Lord of Yaoguang had led a large group of powerful figures to an oasis.
It seems to be looking for something.
Hua Yunfei and the big black dog immediately perked up.
That oasis was where they sent Saint Skin away.
The Holy Lord of Yaoguang personally led his men to that battlefield, clearly because of the Holy Skin, wanting to trace its origin, but to no avail.
"Why hasn't Yan Ruyu arrived yet? Is she really coming here?"
Hua Yunfei frowned. Could this demon princess have gone to the Azure Dragon King's little world?
The big black dog was also restless.
Two days later, a little fairy named Qin Yao brought news to Ye Fan.
Hua Yunfei had been waiting for Yan Ruyu for many days, and she finally arrived at this place.
