He Rusong raised his eyebrows slightly.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.
"The Exorcist Evil Immortal Sect? Such grandeur, it’s almost enough to scare me to death!"
"However, I still want this Nine-Tailed Fox."
"How about this: I’ll just kill you and erase your existence. What do you think?"
As soon as his voice fell,
The surrounding space flickered.
Five men in gray robes appeared.
They formed a tight encirclement, simultaneously unleashing their celestial powers, creating a massive blue barrier around Zheng Nuanxiu and Ye Yu.
Seeing this situation,
Zheng Nuanxiu's face turned ashen.
It was clear she hadn't expected He Rusong to dare do this.
Ye Yu, however, remained calm.
When some things cannot be stopped, it’s better to go with the flow.
After all, he had already set aside the thought of dying in a dream.
Rather than cowering in fear, he preferred to extract as much useful information as possible with his limited life.
He looked at Zheng Nuanxiu beside him and communicated through thought: "Do you have the confidence to break us out?"
"I... I can only say I’ll try; the chances are slim!"
Zheng Nuanxiu's words were quite forced.
There was no way around it; given the situation, she had no need to lie to Ye Yu.
Just He Rusong alone was already not beneath her in strength.
With the addition of these five helpers,
Let alone breaking through the encirclement,
Even she was in a precarious position.
Given such a lineup, it seemed He Rusong was determined to eliminate her.
For a Nine-Tailed Fox, he... was actually justified.
How infuriating!
If she could somehow survive and break out today!
She would definitely make He Rusong pay dearly!
Just as Zheng Nuanxiu prepared to fight to the death,
Ye Yu spoke up, "No need for such a fuss; I’m willing to leave with you!"
At this, everyone present was stunned.
"Is he really that easy to negotiate with?"
"Wait, you know what will happen if you go with them, right?"
Zheng Nuanxiu hurriedly tried to stop him through thought.
Ye Yu curiously asked, "What will happen?"
Zheng Nuanxiu's expression grew serious: "He Rusong is from the Yunpin Immortal Sect."
"The leader of their sect is named Zhu Le Xianzi."
"She loves to keep male concubines."
"Especially favored are male demons."
"Ten thousand years ago, she boldly claimed she wanted to taste a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Whoever could find one would be rewarded with a celestial artifact and a scroll of celestial techniques!"
"He Rusong definitely wants to deliver you to Zhu Le Xianzi!"
Ye Yu's expression changed slightly.
A woman who enjoys keeping male concubines? Doesn’t that make her someone who’s available to anyone?
Honestly speaking,
Ye Yu felt disgusted by such people.
But celestial artifacts and celestial techniques intrigued him immensely.
Ye Yu’s thoughts shifted.
He looked seriously at Zheng Nuanxiu and asked, "What about you? When you asked me to join the Exorcist Evil Immortal Sect, did you ever consider sending me to Zhu Le Xianzi?"
"Celestial techniques and celestial artifacts should be quite important, right?"
"Don’t you desire such temptations?"
Zheng Nuanxiu was slightly taken aback.
She then replied, "You’re thinking too much. I genuinely want you to join the Exorcist Evil Immortal Sect."
"Our sect, well, has some peculiarities."
"We only want you as a person, not to sell you off."
Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Sell" was indeed an apt word!
He Rusong frowned slightly.
Coldly, he said, "What are you laughing about? I warn you, don’t play any tricks! Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Ye Yu replied nonchalantly, "I’m not laughing at anything. I just want to say, I’ll go with you, but you have to let her go!"
Seeing Ye Yu point at himself,
Zheng Nuanxiu was stunned.
"Is he really that protective of me?"
He Rusong scoffed, "You seem to lack the ability to bargain with me!"
Ye Yu teased, "Are you really saying that? Then why don’t you kill Zheng Nuanxiu, and I’ll self-destruct my demon core for you to see?"
Including He Rusong, the gray-robed men all showed discomfort.
They certainly wouldn't let a captured prize slip away!
After a moment of silence, He Rusong said sternly, "Fine, I agree."
The gray-clad men shifted their hands, and the barrier suddenly split open a small opening.
Ye Yu pushed Zheng Nuanxiu, urging her to leave.
But perhaps feeling that Ye Yu was too noble,
Zheng Nuanxiu suddenly refused to leave.
Saying something about respecting those who respect her, she insisted on taking Ye Yu with her today.
This completely left Ye Yu at a loss.
Was she just complicating matters?
He offered her a chance, and she didn’t even know to take it, insisting on dying here?
So, to persuade Zheng Nuanxiu to obediently leave,
Ye Yu coaxed her, "You go first; I have my ways to escape."
"Otherwise, if you stay, you’ll become a burden to me!"
Zheng Nuanxiu was somewhat skeptical, but seeing Ye Yu's serious demeanor,
She could only laugh off her doubts.
Gradually, she stepped out of the barrier!
In the next second, the barrier slammed shut.
And He Rusong swiftly approached Ye Yu.
He performed a celestial technique, casting a binding spell on Ye Yu.
As a result,
Ye Yu naturally couldn’t self-destruct.
Afterward, He Rusong didn’t linger, quickly waving his sleeve, summoning the other gray-robed men to leave.
A few hours later,
Ye Yu was brought into a grand hall.
It was indeed the main hall of the Wind Riding Sect.
He Rusong stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, and loudly proclaimed, "Little Immortal He Rusong comes to present a grand gift to Zhu Le Xianzi!"
Indeed, Zheng Nuanxiu’s guesses were correct.
This scoundrel He Rusong had really delivered him to Zhu Le Xianzi.
But he wondered what this celestial being truly looked like.
Soon,
A plump woman suddenly appeared on the throne directly in front.
At a rough estimate, she must weigh at least three hundred pounds.
This made Ye Yu feel a bit overwhelmed.
Given her physique, it was no wonder she liked keeping male concubines.
If she didn’t have a few, she would surely feel itchiness!
But since they had ascended to the heavenly realm, it should be possible to adjust such things.
As the leader of an immortal sect, Zhu Le Xianzi couldn’t possibly lack control.
So what did this mean?
A disguise?
While Ye Yu was deep in thought,
Zhu Le Xianzi suddenly perked up.
She straightened in her throne, her eyes sparkling as she exclaimed, "A Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox? Where did you find this little fellow?"
He Rusong laughed, "Near the Star Capture Immortal Sect; he just ascended to the heavenly realm, pure as can be!"
