Chapter 773: From Arrogance to Obedience
Standing on the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc, with Qingluo pointing in a general direction, the two quickly arrived at their destination.
In Gu Heng's eyes, the Tianshui Mountains were no different from ordinary mountains.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, took the initiative to show himself.
"Mr. Gu, over here!"
Gu Heng looked down and saw Ling Yi waiting for them on the top of a mountain. After landing, Gu Heng noticed more "strange" things about Ling Yi.
First of all, there was that expression, that fearful expression of a servant trembling before his master.
Seeing that he had brought Qingluo, Ling Yi did not show the arrogant attitude he had yesterday, but instead greeted him with a smile. "Elder Gu, you've arrived."
"Well, here we come."
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
Seeing Ling Yi's somewhat arrogant yet obsequious demeanor, Gu Heng wasn't uncomfortable with it, but he found it very strange.
How come this guy was acting all high and mighty as the Special Envoy of the Most Demonic Tower yesterday, but today he's acting all filial like "Gu Heng is my father"?
But then I thought about it.
Gu Heng understood immediately!
Could it be that the fact that Sect Master Hua Ye Li Hua killed a Demon Emperor yesterday has intimidated this special envoy?
But this doesn't seem right. It's true that Hua Yeli killed a Demon Emperor, but wasn't the Demon Lord the superior of the Demon Tower's special envoy?
Or.
Has this special envoy from Lingyi suddenly become hesitant to act rashly?
"So this must be Miss Qingluo?" Now, facing Qingluo's extremely cautious and somewhat frightened expression, Ling Yi appeared extremely friendly.
He looked at Qingluo with a smile on his face, showing no malice whatsoever.
"Yes, this is her."
"Let's cut to the chase. Although I've brought the people, I have a new request."
"Otherwise, this matter will simply fall through, understand?"
Gu Heng didn't waste any more words. He pulled Qingluo behind him to prevent Ling Yi from ignoring him, since he was going to get the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's inheritance!
"Of course, of course. Elder Gu, please ask. As long as it's within my power, I will not refuse."
"After all, I'm not the kind of person who eats everything alone."
Ling Yi remained polite.
Although I was very unwilling, I had prepared myself for such a humble speech, but I had no choice but to do it.
after all.
He's bowing his head now only because of Hua Yeli!
You should know that word has already spread from the Demon Tower that the three Great Demon Lords want to meet with Hua Yeli to discuss their grand plan!
what does this mean?
This means that at such a critical moment, Hua Yeli disregarded the overall situation and killed a Domain Lord, who was also a Domain Lord with the cultivation of a Demon Emperor. The Demon Tower did not intend to pursue the matter!
If there were any real investigation, such rumors wouldn't have even started.
Instead, they went directly to their door to demand an explanation.
Ling Yi was one of those who could keenly perceive this shift in the wind direction.
Therefore, he doesn't dare to say "no" to Gu Heng at all.
Although Ling Yi had considered simply killing Gu Heng and taking Qingluo away to retrieve the secret treasure left behind by the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal, he knew that doing so would be tantamount to completely offending Hua Yeli!
She was indeed a special envoy, but in Hua Yeli's eyes now, a mere Demon Emperor-level special envoy was probably less than a dog.
Hua Yeli even dared to kill the Purple Cloud Demon Emperor.
How could he possibly care about a mere Demon Emperor-level envoy?
The only way to save myself now is to find a way to keep Hua Yeli from knowing about this, so I absolutely cannot offend Gu Heng now.
"Well, my request is very simple. Tell me everything you know about the secrets related to this Crimson Flame Demon Immortal."
"And how much you get is entirely up to me."
These were conditions that Gu Heng had already considered.
Everything else was irrelevant. Although there were quite a few good things in there, Gu Heng didn't care for them at all. "Uh, this..."
Ling Yi's expression changed upon hearing this.
Damn, this pretty boy, he's really taking advantage of my kindness!
The initiative was originally in his hands, but now Gu Heng seems to be trying to marginalize him right from the start.
He never expected Gu Heng to be so shameless!
What's the difference between this and getting something for nothing?
But unfortunately, he really couldn't do anything about Gu Heng; Ling Yi didn't dare to offend Gu Heng to death!
"you are not willing?"
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes.
He knew he was getting a little carried away.
But since Ling Yi is now behaving like a servant, treating him like a master, it would be too much of a waste if he didn't take a firm stance against him! He had to test him and see just how much this guy could tolerate.
"No, that's easy to discuss. How could I refuse Elder Gu's request?"
Ling Yi forced a smile.
He felt like his face was about to freeze from smiling.
"Then tell me quickly, how much do you know about the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's secret treasure?"
Seeing Ling Yi's frustrated expression, Gu Heng felt incredibly satisfied.
He's been pushing himself to the limit yesterday, and now he's getting a boomerang-like shock.
"Elder Gu, I don't know much about the legacy of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal. I only know that it is in some other dimension. If you want to get there, you need some kind of guide, and you may need to use blood as a guide."
"I arrested many descendants of the rebellious bloodline and interrogated many people before finally piecing these clues together..."
As Ling Yi spoke, he looked at Qing Luo.
Qingluo remained very wary.
"Yeah, I understand."
"It seems this is what you need."
Gu Heng nodded, then took out the wooden token that Qingluo had given him yesterday and handed it to Ling Yi.
The main problem is that he doesn't know how to use this thing. He studied it last night, but there was no progress. Moreover, if he wants to get rid of Ling Yi, the alternate dimension where the inheritance is stored is probably the best place to make his move. Otherwise, he could just leave Ling Yi behind and take the spoils for himself.
Although Gu Heng has not given up his plan to eat alone.
Ling Yi was just a tool to be eliminated after his usefulness was exhausted; he definitely didn't get any benefits from it.
"let me try."
Ling Yi took the token and then looked at Qingluo: "Miss Qingluo, I need a drop of your essence blood."
Qingluo simply looked at Gu Heng, waiting for him to give the order.
"give him."
Gu Heng nodded.
So Qingluo gathered her energy, bit her tongue, and a very unusual drop of blood flew out. Lingyi caught it and then merged it into the token.
Upon contact with the blood, the token immediately emitted a soft red light.
Followed by.
The patterns on the token lit up, and beams of light intertwined and spread.
finally.
An exquisite bridge has actually been created!
This bridge of light, whose destination was unknown, was made up of countless interwoven silver and red rays, and at its end was a silver vortex that even Gu Heng found strangely familiar.
That's a portal!
No one knows what lies on the other side of the door.
