Chapter 1094: Convincing and Making the Deal
Shang Xia wasn’t willing to show any sign of weakness and he snorted, “Elder, your Void Origin is also impressive. I was careless earlier and allowed your cloud energy to enter my body. My tracks were actually revealed…”
Yun Hu eventually regained his smile and he replied, “True Immortal Shang, you only failed to discover it because you just entered the world and had to take note of many other things. The moment you calm down and start inspecting yourself, my methods will easily be discovered.”
“Elder, you’re too polite. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to calm myself after being affected by your technique and be killed before I knew what was happening.” Shang Xia growled.
“Hehe…” Yun Hu laughed softly and continued, “Since that’s the case, doesn’t me not doing anything show my sincerity? Otherwise, I wouldn’t be the only one here! Do you think I make sense?”
Shang Xia grunted once and jumped right in. “Elder, is something the matter? Why are you looking for me?”
Yun Hu chuckled, “Since True Immortal Shang believes that I have no ill intentions, let me get to the point. The Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World want to leave the influence of the Spirit Faith World, but we are just far too weak. We are unable to get rid of their suppression at the moment, but I believe the chance has arrived. We need the strength of your Spirit Luxuriant World!”
Shang Xia couldn’t react properly at his sudden revelation. After he learned about the current situation in the Spirit Faith World and the situation with the Ascendants, he could accurately determine that there had to be some animosity between the native experts of the Spirit Faith World and the Ascendants.
However, he never thought that Yun Hu would be so direct and speak of the situation immediately!If not for the fact that Yun Hu looked for him in private to show that he really didn’t mean any ill intent, Shang Xia would have thought that the third tier True Immortal went crazy!
Shang Xia had to admit that he had experienced a lot in the past few years and he could be said to have seen a lot of things. However, he was still stunned for a full second after hearing what Yun Hu said. He eventually gasped, “Elder, is it really good to be so direct? Moreover, how do I know that you’re not setting up an even bigger scheme?”
Yun Hu might truly have no ill intentions when meeting with Shang Xia and revealing his plot against the Spirit Faith World, but who was to say that their true target wasn’t the Spirit Luxuriant World?
If they truly managed to set everything up and get the Spirit Luxuriant World to attack the Spirit Faith World and watch as both parties suffer serious damage, things would be really interesting.
Yun Hu seemed prepared for Shang Xia’s question and he replied immediately, “In order to show my sincerity, I am here to invite True Immortal Shang to join hands with me to kill Gu Chengwu!”
“Gu Chengwu?!” Shang Xia frowned. “He’s a second tier Elysium True Immortal!”
After the exchange with Zhu Honglin, Shang Xia understood that Tonggu City was part of the Guyuan Sect. He also knew that Gu Chengwu was their leader.
The smile on Yun Hu’s face finally faded once more and he started to turn serious. “Exactly. That’s our target!”
“Why do you want to kill him?” Shang Xia pressed for an answer.
Yun Hu didn’t hesitate to reply, “That’s because True Immortal Yu Long just died after being schemed against by native True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World. The native True Immortals took their rage out on Ascendant True Immortals like ourselves in order to vent their frustrations of having one of their own die.”
“True Immortal Yu Long? Is he the other person who escaped from me? Are you sure they killed him because they wanted to vent their frustrations?” Shang Xia sneered.
Without a change in expression, Yun Hu muttered, “True Immortal Yu and True Immortal Luo were used as bait by Lan Zhengfeng to attract your attention. True Immortal Luo was killed by you, and Lan Zhengfeng ignored Yu Long’s safety and attacked you even though you had him hostage. Lan Zhengfeng or the faction behind him might have wanted to use you to get rid of Yu Long in order to shave away at the power of our Ascendant Faction while also getting revenge for one of their own dying!”
Shang Xia couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, he wouldn’t be easily hoodwinked by a reason like that. “Is this really all? Elder, who knows if you’re also trying to kill your target using a borrowed blade…”
Surprisingly, Yun Hu nodded honestly. “After we kill Gu Chengwu, we indeed need you to take the blame! However, the reason I wish to kill Gu Chengwu is because of another reason altogether. That’s because the Guyuan Sect is far too close to the Elysium gate connected to our Azure Worlds. The moment we attempt to destroy the gates, or even bring away anything from the Spirit Faith World, the Guyuan Sect will definitely be our biggest obstacle!”
Yun Hu paused for a moment before revealing a determined gaze. “That is why… Gu Chengwu must die!”
Moreover, Shang Xia had to take the blame to shift the attention of the cultivators of the Spirit Faith World. Only then would the Ascendant True Immortals be able to buy enough time for their plan.
Shang Xia actually revealed a wide grin and nod to approve of the plan. “You managed to explain your reasoning behind this matter, but Gu Chengwu is a second tier Elysium True Immortal. Do you know how hard it is to kill an Elysium True Immortal? It’s especially so when he has the protection of the world and his Elysium! Even with your help, if we can’t kill him quickly, other True Immortals will quickly arrive to assist him!”
As soon as the words left Shang Xia’s lips, Yun Hu roared with laughter, “That is exactly why we can only choose to kill him secretly in his Elysium. True Immortal Shang, since you were able to infiltrate the Spirit Faith World without being detected, we can easily explain how you made your appearance. I believe you have more than 1 of the talismans you used back then. Since that’s the case, you have a lot of reassurance. Even if we fall out later, you don’t have to worry about your safety.”
“Oh? Looks like I have to thank you for helping me to consider all the factors then?” Shang Xia snorted sarcastically. He became even more cautious when looking at Yun Hu. Eventually, he continued, “I can’t kill him alone. Also, you don’t need to be smart to know that the talisman is a rare treasure. Even if I have more of them, I can’t give them to you. How are you going to infiltrate the Elysium and help me kill Gu Chengwu?”
Raising his eyebrows in shock, Yun Hu wondered out loud, “Why do I need to infiltrate the Elysium? I am also a True Immortal of the Spirit Faith World like Gu Chengwu and we have some friendship with each other. Wouldn’t it be fine if I looked for him for a quick pointers exchange? I might even be able to invite more experts over when asking for pointers.”
The experts Yun Hu would invite would definitely not be native experts. However, Gu Chengwu was no fool. Even if he was confident to think that no one would make a move on him in his Elysium, he would definitely take precautions. There was no way he would allow too many people to enter his Elysium.”
Whatever it was, Shang Xia sighed, “What a great plan! However, what I wish to know is why I should follow your plan? What do I get out of it?”
Yun Hu nodded in understanding. His tone changed the next moment. “The moment Gu Chengwu dies, you can take everything in the Guyuan Elysium you can carry. We won’t lay claim to anything at all!”
“Hah! How much am I supposed to be able to take away under such circumstances? Not to mention that’s assuming we kill him! What if we fail? Wouldn’t that mean that I wasted my time?” Shang Xia mocked.
Finally, Yun Hu nodded and turned completely serious. “True Immortal Shang, what do you want then?”
