Chapter 240: Reaching an Agreement with Huangfu Liushui

Huangfu Tianyi sneered, brushing aside the jade sachet at his waist, revealing the profound runes swirling within: "Senior, please don't be an alarmist. My Shui Mo Star's ancestral辟厄 sachet can even block miasma for Shattered Nirvana Realm cultivators. How could it fear mere remnants of a demon god's soul?"

Behind him, two Ascension cultivators simultaneously conjured bronze compasses. The Big Dipper-shaped indentations on the compasses suddenly lit up.

"This is a lost miasma-breaking instrument from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. It has surveyed thirty-six secret realms and never failed."

Lin Che looked at the mottled rust on the compass and suddenly let out a soft laugh.

This subtle laugh, however, was like a heavy hammer, causing a spiderweb-like crack to suddenly appear on the surface of the miasma-breaking instrument.

"Three hundred years ago, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion led twenty-eight elders to personally explore the Ancient God Land. Their life-bound magic treasures are still buried at the entrance, serving as road markers."

Lin Che stood with one hand behind his back, and from the sleeve of his right hand flew out half a charred jade slip, the words "Heavenly Secret" still oozing black blood.

"This is the last image transmitted by the Pavilion Master just before his death."

In the light of the exploding jade slip, Huangfu Liushui's expression suddenly changed dramatically. In the image, as the Heavenly Secret Pavilion members were torn apart by an invisible force, the vague outline that appeared behind them was identical to the "Omen of Misfortune" on the Shui Mo Star's clan-protecting mural.

But before he could speak, Huangfu Tianyi had already drawn out the jade flute from his waist, and seven emerald sound waves shot straight into the sky.

"Don't try to scare me with tricks…"

Before the sound waves could even touch the clouds, the entire sky suddenly inverted.

Everyone discovered in horror that the ground beneath their feet had, at some unknown point, turned into flowing black blood, and countless skeletal arms reached out from the sea of blood.

Lin Che stood in mid-air, surrounded by an aura of pressure more intense than the night: "Since you don't believe, then go see for yourselves."

Lin Che lightly tapped his fingertip, and the three of them fell like broken kites into a suddenly gaping crimson abyss. The last thing they heard was Lin Che's cold words, "Remember to say hello to Shui Mo Star for me."

Looking at the departing Senior Lin Che, Huangfu Liushui subconsciously looked at his Uncle Huangfu Tianyi beside him: "Uncle, let's leave…"

"Leave?"

Huangfu Tianyi said with a solemn expression: "We finally made it here with great difficulty. If we leave like this, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain? What should I do when your father holds me accountable?"

"This…"

Huangfu Liushui's expression was grave, but he heard from Senior Lin Che that this Ancient God Land was fraught with danger. If they went, they might very likely die tragically within it.

However, Huangfu Tianyi was not superstitious. After all, they were an Eight-Level Cultivation Country, and behind them stood a strong cultivator of the Shattered Nirvana Realm. Even the Cultivation Alliance had to give them some face.

Now that they had reached this point, there was no need to continue hiding. Obtaining the Ancient God's body as quickly as possible was the top priority.

Seeing Huangfu Tianyi's insistence, Huangfu Liushui could only agree, but he still hoped his uncle would wait a moment, as he wanted to beg Senior Lin Che to take them along.

After all, Lin Che was the strongest cultivator on Suzaku Star and should know how to enter the Ancient God Land and contend with the strong cultivators there.

After all, as outsiders, they simply did not understand the dangers of the Ancient God Land.

If an accident truly occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable, as the strong cultivators of Shui Mo Star would not find it easy to come.

Hearing Liushui's words, Huangfu Tianyi also nodded. At this point, there was no better solution; it could only be this way… Huangfu Liushui quickly arrived at the Hengyue Sect and cupped his hands in greeting towards the sect's entrance: "Junior Huangfu Liushui, I ask to meet with Senior He."

Zhang Kuang, the sect master of the Hengyue Sect, stepped out and looked at Huangfu Liushui, saying: "Fellow Daoist, please go back. Our senior brother said that your matters have nothing to do with him. If you don't believe him, then go to the Ancient God Land yourselves and take care."

Hearing these words, Huangfu Liushui's expression became solemn, and he immediately said: "Senior, if you are willing to help us, our Shui Mo Star will be your friend. At that time, our Shui Mo Star can help you contend against the strong cultivators of Tianyun Star."

Lin Che, who was drinking tea, his fingers moved slightly. He looked at Huangfu Liushui in the sky, then waved his sleeve, directly pulling him here.

Huangfu Liushui touched his body. The feeling just now made him feel as if his soul had been pulled out, and even his vision went dark.

If the senior in front of him truly wanted to kill him, he could have taken his head from a thousand miles away.

Huangfu Liushui bowed respectfully towards Lin Che: "Greetings, Senior Lin Che."

"This Venerable One is very curious, how do you know This Venerable One's name?"

Huangfu Liushui replied flatteringly: "Senior, you overstate it. Your affairs are no secret in the entire Kunxu Star Region, and this junior has always had a keen eye for talent, having seen your portraits many times."

"Now that we meet on Suzaku Star, this junior knows that you don't want to be hunted down by Tian Yunzi and others again…"

Looking at Huangfu Liushui, Lin Che smiled faintly, seemingly accustomed to such matters.

"It's not that easy to make me help you enter the Ancient God Land with just these two sentences."

Huangfu Liushui naturally understood, so he conjured his immortal treasure and personally handed it to Lin Che: "This is one of this junior's immortal treasures. Although it may not be of much use to Senior, this junior can only offer something so precious."

"If Senior is willing to help, this junior will personally explain this matter to my Imperial Father upon returning to Shui Mo Star. By then, it should be no problem for my Imperial Father to help Senior contend against Tian Yunzi and others."

Their Shui Mo Star and Tianyun Star were already at odds and often fought over cultivation resources.

So Shui Mo Star had long disliked Tianyun Star.

If they could use this opportunity to contend against Tianyun Star, it would naturally be for the best.

After all, the old fellow Tian Yunzi's strength was unfathomable. If he were to obtain those top-tier immortal treasures, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It is indeed a good deal, but I don't know the situation of your Shui Mo Star. How can I trust you? This Venerable One can also make verbal promises."

Huangfu Liushui conjured his heart demon and said: "Senior, please rest assured. I am a prince of Shui Mo Star and the future successor of Shui Mo Star. I can guarantee this in the name of Shui Mo Star."

"If that day truly comes, our Shui Mo Star will wholeheartedly help Senior overcome the difficulties. After the matter is settled, you will still be an honored guest of our Shui Mo Star."

Glancing at Huangfu Liushui beside him, Lin Che narrowed his eyes. What he lacked most now were partners who could unite to contend against those old fellows.

After all, if one relies solely on oneself in the cultivation world, one can easily be swallowed up. By then, even if one wanted to resist, there would be no opportunity.

It would be better to seize the opportunity and form an alliance with other cultivators to have a way to contend against those guys.
