Chapter 777: Let's Do It!
"Oh? Is Envoy Lingyi implying that if you die, the Most Demonic Tower won't be able to seek revenge?"
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes.
Damn, with the right timing, location, and people, let's just take action!
He didn't even need to consider having Ling Yi die from an accident like spatial turbulence. He was actually quite troubled about how to kill Ling Yi without letting the Most Demonic Tower track him down.
This guy is so confident in his abilities that he directly revealed that the mark had failed.
Too arrogant.
In his eyes, Ling Yi was "no threat at all." Did this guy not even realize his own limitations, thinking that having the title of Special Envoy of the Most Demonic Tower would allow him to handle all trouble?
"Of course, but Elder Gu, do you really think you can compete with me, a kept man and a useless female disciple?"
Ling Yi could also sense the subtle change in the atmosphere; he was actually making the same plans.
Why can't I just swallow all the secrets here?
We have to listen to this pretty boy, and he gets to decide how the profits are split.
I was outside before.
Ling Yi didn't dare to kill him, since killing him might immediately be known to Hua Yeli, but once they were inside, it didn't matter.
If he dies here, even the most powerful demon will not know who did it. He didn't even report to the most powerful demon when he came to find the secret treasure of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's legacy. This kind of thing can't be reported, otherwise the most powerful demon will get the meat and the soup, while he can only eat the soup residue! In fact, Ling Yi is now a little hesitant to act rashly.
What if Gu Heng is still too cowardly and tells Hua Yeli where he's going?
If you kill him and Qingluo, and they don't return for a long time, Hua Yeli will naturally know who to target.
But if a fight really breaks out, who cares about all that?
First, you have to decide whether someone lives or dies.
"..."
Gu Heng said no more. With just a thought, his most beloved goose feather knife would appear in his hand, and he could slice off Ling Yi's dog head with a single stroke!
But the anomaly also occurred at this time!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire palace began to shake, and the lingering remnant of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal let out a horrifying laugh.
"Hehehe, was the story I told you good enough?" This sudden change of tone almost caused the tense atmosphere to explode.
The token in Gu Heng's hand suddenly slipped out of his control, flew out, and instantly merged into that lingering will!
"Something's not right with this guy!"
Ling Yi's expression changed drastically!
This is clearly just a lingering remnant, it shouldn't even have any power, so why can he feel an increasingly heavy pressure emanating from this lingering remnant?
“There are some things I haven’t told you explicitly, but it doesn’t matter if you know them now.”
"I'm not so quick to accept my own death."
"Although I was defeated and killed back then, the contingency plans I left behind far exceeded the imagination of those six guys!"
When that lingering spirit suddenly rushed into Ling Yi's body, neither Gu Heng nor Qing Luo reacted. They were already on guard against Ling Yi, and now that he had suddenly encountered some misfortune, even if they really wanted to save him, it was impossible. Besides, why should they save him?
The negotiations were already on the verge of collapse, so it wouldn't be surprising if things came to a head at any time.
"...Crack!"
After twisting his body in pain for a while as a form of resistance against this possession, Ling Yi remained still.
When his gaze turned back, both Gu Heng and Qingluo could tell that this was no longer the Ling Yi they knew.
That look revealed an extreme calmness and a sense of relief after surviving a catastrophe.
"Hmm, this body is enough to hold this remnant of my soul."
Ling Yi twisted his neck, as if getting used to the body he had taken over. His gaze skipped over Gu Heng and went straight to Qing Luo.
"Well done. You brought me to this alternate dimension, giving me the opportunity to reappear in the world." "As expected of a descendant of the Qing clan."
His words sounded like praise, but Qingluo felt like she was being targeted by a venomous snake, and her whole body trembled.
What a strong sense of oppression!
Just looking at herself made her break out in a cold sweat!
"You...you've been hiding inside that key, waiting to be brought here?"
"And then, with the power of this alternate dimension, be resurrected?!"
Qingluo said tremblingly.
That token key was passed down from her ancestors. Although she knew it was the key to the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's treasure vault, she never expected that it was also a scheme that the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal had already devised!
That's right. Who exactly is the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal?
If he has the ability to instigate a war between the five realms and confront both the Demon Tower and the Immortal Palace at the same time, does he not have any means to deal with his own defeat?
The more powerful a cultivator is, the more backup plans they have.
"This is just a small arrangement I made to prepare for my comeback after I am besieged and killed."
"I'm not going to give up so easily."
Ling Yi, who can now also be called the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal, revealed a smug smile, as if everything was under his control.
"It wouldn't matter if this treasure vault remained unopened, but now that it's open, the things I left behind back then will naturally come in handy."
"As for you two..."
The Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's gaze gradually turned sinister.
Gu Heng didn't even need to think to know what this guy was planning to do, and without saying a word, he slashed horizontally with his goose feather blade!
He had already made preparations and was ready to act at any time. After all, Ling Yi was "no threat" to him, meaning that killing him would be no different than crushing a bug.
The so-called special envoy status is a bit difficult to deal with, but since Ling Yi personally admitted that the Demon Lord can't see this place, then we'll definitely take him down!
But now, an outsider has taken over the nest and ruined Lingyi!
As it turned out, this outsider didn't seem very friendly either.
The goose-feather knife is still sharp.
With a single slash, Ling Yi's head was severed from his body!
Although Ling Yi appeared to be dead, the remnant soul of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal floated out again and re-emerged in mid-air.
"Interesting, your knife... and your skill."
"Looks like you want to kill me."
The Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's voice sounded somewhat terrifying and surprised. The lingering spirit seemed to have two eyes, and a sinister aura emanated from its gaze.
The weapon this person used was of unimaginably good quality, so good that even he himself longed to have it.
and.
Strength is also a factor.
The girl next to him was easily seen through, but he was the one who looked like a blank sheet of paper, completely empty!
This situation is definitely not normal.
Although I only have this one remnant soul, and it was only by relying on the residual power in this alternate dimension that I was able to awaken again, it shouldn't be so weak that I can't even tell the strength of a cultivator, unless he is too strong.
"Hmph, you think I don't know you're also thinking of killing us both?"
Gu Heng was initially a little panicked, but seeing this thing floating in mid-air, he suddenly calmed down.
"Is that so?" The Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's gaze fell on Qingluo.
"Although I don't know how the world has changed now, since I haven't given up, I need to recruit people again."
“This guy is a lackey of the Most Demon Tower. I disdain recruiting such a lackey. But you two, one is a descendant of my old subordinates, and the other seems to be at odds with the Most Demon Tower. Both are suitable to be brought under my command.”
"But since you chose to attack me, there's nothing more to discuss."
The Crimson Flame Demon Fairy revealed a playful smile.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in running errands for others."
Gu Heng took out the Primordial Soul Lamp directly. Upon seeing the lamp, the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's voice finally turned horrified.
"The Primordial Soul Lamp?!"
"How could this lamp be in your hands?!"
"I didn't even have time to hide this before I perished, so where did you get it from?!"
