Chapter 903: Chapter 903: Heavenly Star Flower
Upon hearing Master Luo Yin’s inquiry, Bai Ziqi, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, flashed a hint of resentment in his eyes and nodded:
"That’s right. I estimate that Zhu Fei is extremely ’skilled’ in disguise and sneak attacks. Back then, the puppet he disguised as was not detected by any of us."
Perhaps afraid that Master Luo Yin would not understand, Bai Ziqi detailed his previous encounter to Master Luo Yin.
Finally, Bai Ziqi glanced at the battlefield which had long lost any signs and said to Master Luo Yin:
"Based on my understanding of that guy, Master Luo Yin, your two disciples likely met their end at Zhu Fei’s hands."
"Hmm."
After listening to Bai Ziqi’s words, Master Luo Yin nodded with an extremely unpleasant expression.
He was now almost certain that Zhu Fei was indeed the murderer of his two disciples.
Even if his judgment was wrong, Master Luo Yin was determined not to let Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing off.
After all, Master Luo Yin’s disciples must not die in vain, and Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing were currently the best targets for his anger.
It was Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing who had offended the Mad Demon Gang.
As a core figure of the Mad Demon Gang, Master Luo Yin, for whatever reason, couldn’t possibly spare Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing.
With this in mind, Master Luo Yin looked at a man enveloped in black mist beside him and said solemnly:
"Black Demon, I entrust you with the task of avenging my disciples by pursuing those two."
Then, Master Luo Yin turned to Bai Ziqi and continued, "Bai Ziqi, you should also be involved in this matter. Remember to cooperate with Black Demon’s actions. Understood?"
"Yes! Please rest assured, Master Luo Yin. I, Bai Ziqi, will not disappoint you with this matter."
While speaking, Bai Ziqi glanced at Black Demon with slightly fearful eyes.
At this moment, the black mist surrounding Black Demon suddenly churned, and two beams as red as blood shot out from the inky mist, making Bai Ziqi’s heart involuntarily tremble.
...
Zhu Fei was unaware that he had become the target of Master Luo Yin and the Mad Demon Gang, and that the Heavenly Immortal cultivated Black Demon had been dispatched to hunt him down.
Truthfully, even if Zhu Fei knew, he wouldn’t be overly concerned.
At his current strength, although he couldn’t win against a Heavenly Immortal Cultivator, escaping would not be a problem.
Conversely, about ten days later, Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing surprisingly completed six missions from their current task.
Before leaving the market, they had been content with completing more than four tasks from their agenda.
Now, they had completed three-fifths, which spoke volumes about their extraordinary luck.
"Zhu Fei, look quickly, aren’t those Heavenly Star Flowers over there?"
At this moment, Chen Tianxing pointed forward towards a canyon in surprise.
"Hmm, they really are Heavenly Star Flowers."
Following Chen Tianxing’s finger, Zhu Fei saw several resplendent flowers growing deep in the canyon, roughly estimating at least ten Heavenly Star Flowers.
Heavenly Star Flowers, a Second Grade Immortal Spirit Grass contains extremely pure star power, and is the main material for refining Immortal Pills to restore Immortal Essence.
Each Heavenly Star Flower is worth over ten thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals.
Now with at least ten Heavenly Star Flowers growing there, their value is precious to any True Immortal.
"Hmm? This isn’t right!"
Just as Zhu Fei was about to head towards the canyon with Chen Tianxing, a massive surge of Immortal Essence suddenly erupted from its depths.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a person and a monster soared from the canyon depths.
Zhu Fei saw clearly that the person was a Heavenly Immortal Cultivator with a medium build, draped in a gray robe, exuding a menacing aura.
The monster battling him was a Level 2 demon called the One-eyed Flood Dragon, flashing blue light all over as it spewed thick black venom at the gray-robed Heavenly Immortal.
"Fellow cultivators, I am the Lingyun Swordsman Shi Fengyang. I implore your help. All the Heavenly Star Flowers here will belong to you both. Do we have a deal?"
Aware of Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing’s presence, Shi Fengyang, the self-proclaimed Lingyun Swordsman, turned to them with an invitation.
Hearing Shi Fengyang’s words, Zhu Fei snickered internally.
He is clever indeed; the Heavenly Star Flowers are clearly unclaimed, yet he offers them as payment.
Furthermore, Zhu Fei noticed his gaze flickering when speaking, showing ill intentions.
Despite this thought, Zhu Fei outwardly showed no sign, instead raising his hand towards Shi Fengyang with a gesture of respect, speaking confidently:
"Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Cultivator. My junior sister and I are still low in cultivation and may not be of assistance. We request your understanding if there is any offense."
Then Zhu Fei continued, "As for the Heavenly Star Flowers mentioned, wait until Fellow Cultivator defeats the One-eyed demon to collect them. We won’t disturb you."
Speaking thus, Zhu Fei tugged Chen Tianxing, intending to leave promptly.
Although Heavenly Star Flowers are valuable, Zhu Fei refuses to work merely for someone else’s gain.
"Wait! Fellow cultivators don’t leave so quickly!"
Before Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing flew far away, Shi Fengyang had already rushed over with the One-eyed Flood Dragon.
Judging by his posture, he clearly intended to shift the danger to them.
Zhu Fei cursed inwardly, his eyes cold for a moment.
"Fellow Shi, your actions are slightly excessive, aren’t they?"
While rapidly retreating, Zhu Fei warned Shi Fengyang.
Shi Fengyang paused briefly upon hearing the warning, his expression then turned menacing.
"Brat, don’t be ungrateful. I favor you by offering a chance to get rich. Not thanking me is fine, but you dare speak to me like that. Do you think Shi Fengyang is made of mud?"
Contrary to Zhu Fei’s expectations, once Shi Fengyang realized that his intent was completely seen through, he tore away all pretenses.
He abruptly raised his hand, slashing a huge axe onto the One-eyed Flood Dragon, knocking its whole body airborne.
And by sheer coincidence, the direction the One-eyed Flood Dragon flew was precisely where Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing were located!
