Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sect
Just as the thought crossed his mind, there was a sudden ’buzz’ in the Ghost Emperor’s mind, bringing him back to reality.
Almost inexplicably, the Ghost Emperor immediately connected the current situation at Peace Square with the items Zhu Fei had given him.
This realization, even with the Ghost Emperor’s composure, made him slightly jump.
He knew very well that if his guess was correct, once this matter was exposed, the trouble it could bring Zhu Fei would definitely be fatal.
Yet, despite this, Zhu Fei was still willing to take the risk of exposure and give him such a precious gift.
For a moment, even with the Ghost Emperor’s state of mind, he couldn’t help but be slightly moved.
Looking at Zhu Fei, he hesitated for a long while before cautiously asking, "Brother Zhu, does the current situation have something to do with this?"
The Ghost Emperor didn’t spell it out, but he believed Zhu Fei could definitely understand the implication of his words.
Sure enough, Zhu Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, roughly so. It’s enough that Brother Ghost Emperor understands in his heart. I hope Brother Ghost Emperor won’t reveal my affairs."
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s reply, even though the Ghost Emperor was somewhat prepared, he still couldn’t help but feel a trace of shock.
Only after a moment did the Ghost Emperor return from his shock, nodding while pushing the jade bottle back to Zhu Fei and saying:
"Brother Zhu, rest assured, while I, the Ghost Emperor, might not be a good person, I won’t betray friends. However, this gift is too precious for me to accept."
Zhu Fei was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook his head, reaching out to push the jade bottle back to the Ghost Emperor, saying:
"Brother Ghost Emperor, since we’re friends, there’s no need to be polite with me. You’ve been willing to give me the identity jade talisman worth twenty thousand high-grade immortal crystals unconditionally, so why not accept this small vial of spiritual liquid?"
Zhu Fei’s words stunned both the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan slightly.
The Ghost Emperor instinctively blurted out, "Brother Zhu, so you knew all these things?"
After a pause, the Ghost Emperor looked deeply at Zhu Fei before nodding and saying, "Alright, since that’s the case, if I were to decline again, I would be pretentious. No matter what, I, the Ghost Emperor, will remember your gift today."
Upon saying this, the Ghost Emperor pondered for a moment, then seriously said to Zhu Fei:
"Brother Zhu, I’ve reached a point where I won’t hide things from you. Fan Yan and I are from the Fan family of You City, but we are also core disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sect now.
If you’re willing, I can recommend you and your friend to join our Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sect, or use it as a springboard to directly board the cross-domain train as passengers. What do you think, Brother Zhu?"
"Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sect?"
Upon hearing the Ghost Emperor’s words, a trace of surprise flickered across Zhu Fei’s eyes.
He knew that the so-called Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sect was a high-level spiritual cultivation sect with tremendous influence across the entire Immortal Realm Sky Domain.
No wonder, no wonder the Ghost Emperor could so easily acquire two identity jade talismans.
Upon thinking this, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but smile wryly.
It seemed that in this Immortal Realm, everyone knew how to protect themselves.
Back then, when Zhu Fei first encountered the Ghost Emperor brothers, they seemed nothing more than ordinary immortal cultivators.
Who would have thought that the two who came to him asking for healing pills would have such a formidable background?
"Brother Ghost Emperor, I appreciate your kindness. You must also realize that given my current situation, it’s not suitable for me to appear before those bigwigs. Let’s leave it at that."
The Ghost Emperor nodded with a smile, "Yes, indeed. In that case, Brother Zhu, take care of yourself from now on. When I return to the Immortal Realm Sky Domain, if time allows, we can catch up."
Zhu Fei looked surprised, somewhat puzzled, "What? By the sound of it, you don’t plan to join us on this trip?"
The Ghost Emperor nodded, "Yes, I’ve just received word that representatives from our family will arrive, and Fan Yan and I might have other matters to attend to. I’m afraid we can’t leave here for the time being."
"Oh, I see."
Zhu Fei nodded thoughtfully, not pressing further.
Considering it involved internal matters of the Ghost Emperor’s family, he, as an outsider, knew it was best not to pry.
The few of them continued to chat, with the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan detailing some precautions regarding the cross-domain train to Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing.
After more than half a double-hour, Zhu Fei then left the Vermilion Bird Tower with Chen Tianxing.
Watching Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing’s figures gradually disappear, Fan Yan couldn’t help but ask.
"Eldest brother, what exactly did Brother Zhu give you just now that made you lose composure?"
Upon hearing his kin’s inquiry, the Ghost Emperor’s previously relaxed expression turned serious again.
He didn’t immediately answer Fan Yan’s question but instead raised his hand to set up a layer of prohibition around them before handing the jade bottle to Fan Yan, speaking seriously:
"See for yourself, remember, don’t say it aloud."
Receiving the jade bottle handed by the Ghost Emperor, Fan Yan curiously opened it.
But the moment he glanced inside, he was visibly shocked, his breathing becoming extremely rapid.
"B-brother, this... this is Purple Darkness..."
Just as he spoke, Fan Yan quickly came to his senses, hurriedly covering his mouth, yet the shock and disbelief in his eyes were unmistakable.
"Yes, now you understand why I’m so cautious. This item is far too precious. Even for our family, if it were leaked, it would spell enormous trouble.
Remember, understand this in your heart but never speak of it lightly. No matter who, never reveal it."
Fan Yan nodded repeatedly.
...
Several days later, Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing appeared at a square in East Gate Market.
According to their understanding, the cross-domain train was currently stationed at this location in Peace Square.
In terms of timing, today happened to be the day when the cross-domain train was scheduled to arrive.
At this moment, Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing had used the Illusion Sky Pill to completely alter their appearances and auras.
Standing in the square, they noticed that there was an uncountable multitude of people gathered; the place was swarming with individuals, with no end in sight.
Among the swarming crowd, most, like Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing, were cultivators waiting for the cross-domain train.
