Chapter 487: Chapter 473: Quit While You’re Ahead (Combined Chapter 4.5k)_3
It was clear that the yellow-robed men had not yet dealt with the monsters inside.
When he returned to the cave outside the ninth prison, there were already over a dozen people waiting there, only half of those who went in.
Some of the fiends within the prison were even troublesome for Lou Yi.
For these Yellow Springs Sect members, generally in the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage and Late-stage Qi Refining, having half of them come out alive was already quite impressive.
“Where is the Patrol Leader? Didn’t he say he would be here by now?”
“It seems something happened at another prison, and he went to provide assistance.”
Soon, the Patrol Leader, wearing a monkey-like mask, hurried back.
He looked a bit disheveled, with several tears in his clothing revealing fresh wounds that were still bleeding, and his energy seemed noticeably weakened.
“Thirteen people, alright then, let’s move quickly!”
The Patrol Leader urgently led the surviving members back to the teleportation array and quickly departed, clearly having more important matters to attend to.
After a dizzying moment, they returned to their original location, facing once again the black-robed elder with skin as old as chicken skin.
Once the elder had filled the white bottle he brought out with toxic liquid, their eyes and ears were covered, and they were taken away from the teleportation site.
…
He City, Gale Pavilion.
“Brother Lou, your skills are truly extraordinary, managing to bring the item beyond the fifth prison.”
In truth, Lou Yi had already brought the white jade leaf beyond the third prison.
But he habitually kept a trick up his sleeve.
Nonetheless, Jia Hong was already quite satisfied.
At this moment, she had changed into a green long dress, adorned with beautiful camellias, her aura like a mountain spirit, putting one completely at ease.
Jia Hong softly opened her lips: “When you go to the Hell Fiend realm later, please keep an eye out again, Brother Lou.”
It was clear the white jade leaf was crucial to Jia Hong’s plans, prompting her relentless persistence.
“Miss Jia, you’re too polite, the quota for entering the Hell Fiend realm is precious, and I got in thanks to your help. Naturally, I’ll take care of your matters too.” Lou Yi replied.
His words were clear.
Jia Hong assisted him in entering the Hell Fiend realm, and in return, he would assist her; both took what they needed, owing nothing to each other.
Upon hearing the long-absent term ’Miss Jia’ from Lou Yi’s mouth, Jia Hong’s gaze grew distant, seemingly lost in memories.
But after hearing his latter words, she couldn’t help but show a tinge of grievance.
“Brother Lou and I have known each other for many years, and you went through so much trouble to cross the river. Is there truly no sentiment at all, and must everything be calculated so clearly?”
Jia Hong sighed softly.
A trace of sadness dimmed her lovely eyebrows, with a haziness in her eyes, making her appear even more pitiable and heart-wrenching.
“I’ve always been this way, not liking to owe others, so please, Miss Jia, do not overthink.” However, Lou Yi remained unmoved, his tone plain.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent.
Lou Yi then broke the silence: “This toxic liquid is so valuable, I’m sure your sect has collected quite a bit…”
“Is Brother Lou interested in the toxic liquid?” Jia Hong’s sorrowful expression vanished as if it was never there, and she continued, “I know a place where a large amount of toxic liquid is stored, but it’s heavily guarded.
If Brother Lou has the ability to enter, you may take it as you please.”
Being the Holy Daughter of the sect, Jia Hong showed no loyalty to the Yellow Springs Sect at all.
“Oh? Where might this be?” inquired Lou Yi.
“In the countryside of Yong City next to He City, there is a secret estate we have been operating for years, with some toxic liquid hidden in the underground vault…” After informing Lou Yi of the location, Jia Hong added, “There is also a black bead in the vault. If Brother Lou could fetch it for me, I would be immensely grateful.”
“Alright.” Lou Yi gave Jia Hong a deep look and turned to leave.
He initially thought Jia Hong had a change of heart, telling him the location of the toxic liquid for free.
Unexpectedly, she turned around and set a condition.
This was actually preferable; no emotional ties, just discussing interests, each taking what they needed.
’The estate that’s been operated for so many years must be a crucial resource of the Yellow Springs Sect, possibly storing quite a bit of toxic liquid?’
Lou Yi was quite hopeful.
He wondered to what extent these toxic liquids could enhance the strength of his Qi Cultivation.
