The three who had split up to escape earlier saw Eerie Man choose to hide in a large tree, but he was discovered by Ye Feng, who followed him. The only one who continued on was the woman referred to as Lian'er by Eerie Man.
This woman, just as the guards within the Exchange had speculated, was not the true Hostess. She had disguised herself and infiltrated their ranks to investigate the theft of the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword from the envoy of the Qin Yuan Empire.
Unexpectedly, she found the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword within the Dark Exchange. Thus, she and the man staged a successful act, reclaiming the sword and plundering most of the treasures at the back of the Exchange in retaliation.
At this moment, she was sprinting through the jungle, heading towards another forest with a complex environment at its end. This was a location that she and Eerie Man had scouted beforehand—devoid of any traces of people, making it ideal for escape and concealment.
However, she did not anticipate that Eerie Man would stop midway. Among their split paths of escape, only she was truly getting closer to danger! With her cultivation being the lowest, her speed could not match that of Chifeng.
Chifeng chose to run to block the path at the end, ultimately waiting for her alone.
Lian'er seemed unaware of Eerie Man's plan. Her Storage Ring contained most of the treasures from the Exchange, making her an unavoidable target for Chifeng.
“Damn Sky Abyss Empire, so many treacherous people! I won't let you harm our Prophet!” Lian'er muttered bitterly as she ran.
The envoy from the Qin Yuan Empire was none other than the most significant Sect's Prophet Walker, possessing exceptional talent and strength. More importantly, the mission assigned to the Prophet Walker was to foster friendly relations among various empires and sects across the Eastern Continent.
Thus, those who accompanied the Prophet were all devout followers! As Lian'er thought about this, she realized that in just a couple of days, the envoy would arrive at the Sky Abyss Empire. She and that Eerie Man needed to return the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword before then!
As a gift for friendly exchanges, if the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword were lost and could not be presented to the Sky Abyss Empire, it would cause significant reputational damage to the Prophet Walker of the Qin Yuan Empire. If severe enough, it could even provoke discontent between empires!
At that time, the envoy would undoubtedly be sacrificed to quell anger between empires! Neither she nor the man wanted this to happen! So she had to survive!
Soon, after continuous running, Lian'er reached the edge of the previously scouted forest. However, she did not see Ye Feng or the man; instead, she caught a whiff of danger in the air!
This was an inevitable outcome... perhaps also an inevitable sacrifice!
......
“I don't believe you!” On the other side, Ye Feng arrived beneath a large tree where Eerie Man had already landed. As they faced each other and exchanged words, after hearing what was said, Ye Feng bluntly replied: “Whether what you say is true or not doesn't matter to me!”
The Eerie Man revealed to him that the true master of the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword was himself and his envoy team, but due to certain incidents, they had been captured by the Dark Exchange. That was why he had committed such acts!
However, Ye Feng did not care whether the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword truly belonged to this person. He did not want to know the connection between this man, that woman, and the envoys who were about to arrive at the Sky Abyss Empire. He was simply frustrated that these two had dragged him into their predicament in order to save themselves!
No one could accept such an outcome. Although Ye Feng and his companions were temporarily safe, no one knew when the retaliation from the Dark Exchange would arrive! The man before him might still be able to escape this place!
But as a member of the Sky Abyss Empire and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Ye Feng could not leave this empire for now. Therefore, he had to resolve this mess himself!
The Eerie Man seemed to sense his concern and couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "I didn't want things to develop like this either, but I really hope you can believe me. We have no ill intentions towards you; we are truly sorry that you got caught up in this!"
The man's words were sincere, seemingly not wanting to become enemies with Ye Feng! However, Ye Feng coldly replied, "The point is not in the process but in the result! You have already harmed me; do you think a few words will suffice to brush me off?"
Things were never that simple in this world. Since Ye Feng chose to track him down, he certainly wouldn't let him go easily!
The Eerie Man's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, asking, "So what do you want?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "What I want is not up to me but depends on whether you have the sincerity to resolve this trouble. Since it was your fault that I was targeted, naturally, you should help me solve it!"
Upon hearing this, the Eerie Man was taken aback and then angrily replied, "You know that's impossible! Even if I take you to the Exchange to confess and say you're not my accomplice, they still have to believe it! Do you think those bandits will trust my words?"
Ye Feng lowered his head. He understood very well that regardless of what happened, he would bear the blame. The question was what he could gain from this incident! He couldn't just help these people take on responsibility while he himself was targeted without receiving any tangible benefits!
Having figured out the whole situation, he realized that discussing how to clear his name was completely useless at this point; it would be better to think of something practical!
Ye Feng raised his head and said with a smile, "Well then, since you have put me in this predicament and cannot help me resolve it, I would like to ask what you plan to use to compensate me?"
His straightforward words made the Eerie Man tremble slightly. He then revealed a bitter smile and said, "Brother, you're really kicking someone when they're down!"
Ye Feng ignored the disdain from the other party and coldly replied, "That is your own doing! If you cannot make up for the mistakes you've made against me, then I have my own ways of punishing you!"
As soon as he spoke, he subtly began to elevate his cultivation. If the other party showed even the slightest sign of wanting to break off relations, he would not hesitate to kill and seize the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword from them. After all, it was this sword that had brought him trouble!
The Eerie Man's expression changed several times, as if he did not want to fall out with Ye Feng. After a long pause, he slowly said, "Alright, tell me what you want. As long as I can provide it, I will certainly give it to you. However, this sword is absolutely off-limits!"
Ye Feng frowned, not expecting the other party to be so straightforward. However, what he truly wanted was the sword in the man's hand. Since the man had already spoken, it would be inappropriate for him to take away something dear to another. Moreover, obtaining this sword was not a wise choice!
The people from Dark Exchange were probably all looking for this sword! Holding onto it as stolen goods and flaunting it in public would be a sure way to invite death!
After some thought, Ye Feng replied, "That depends on what you have. There are too many things I want; I doubt you can afford them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Eerie Man coldly retorted, "Greed leads to downfall; you'd better consider your own situation. If you really state conditions we cannot meet, even if you kill me, you will gain nothing!"
Ye Feng shot back sarcastically, "No need to provoke me like that. Trust me, if I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't stand a chance. The fact that I'm willing to talk means I still have some sincerity. The question is, what about your sincerity?"
As he spoke, Ye Feng released his powerful cultivation—he was at the peak of the mid-stage Xuanwu Realm! He was actually stronger than this Eerie Man!
The man's expression turned horrified. At such a young age, possessing the peak of the early-stage Xuanwu Realm cultivation made him a Core Disciple in his Sect. He never expected that the youth before him would be even more terrifying! It seemed that the rumors about the Sky Abyss Empire lacking strong individuals were completely false!
Earlier, he had only sensed that Ye Feng was a Martial Saint but did not realize that his realm was one level higher than his own. The Eerie Man felt increasingly uneasy; he muttered, "Our Unity Clan may not be the number one Sect in the Eastern Continent, but we still hold some weight in the Qin Yuan Empire!"
Unity Clan? He had heard the man mumble about it before; this clan was indeed unfamiliar to him. Perhaps if he wanted to investigate his mother's matters in the Qin Yuan Empire, he would need this clan's assistance!
Ye Feng's mind raced as he considered the stakes. He then heard the Eerie Man continue speaking: "Perhaps you don't know that the envoy sent by the Qin Yuan Empire is our Unity Clan's most talented disciple! As his follower, I can't promise much for you, but at least tell me what you need!"
Hearing this made it seem like Unity Clan had quite a bit of resources. Ye Feng felt delighted internally but maintained a calm exterior and replied steadily, "Since you've said so, I might as well speak frankly. I came to Dark Exchange this time primarily to procure some Alchemy materials!"
"Unfortunately, all of them were destroyed by you! I'm not unreasonable; if you can provide me with the Alchemy materials I need, I can overlook past grievances and help keep your envoy's secret!" Ye Feng stated sincerely.
The Eerie Man's eyes lit up at this.
"If it's just Alchemy materials you're after, then Brother, you've truly come to the right person! Our Unity Clan may lack many things, but we do have an abundance of Alchemy materials!"
"Oh?" Ye Feng did not expect that this would play right into Eerie Man's hands!
In fact, the Unity Clan, as Eerie Man mentioned, is indeed a Heavenly Level Sect on the Eastern Continent. However, in terms of overall strength, it is even inferior to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. It's just that within the powerful realm of the Qin Yuan Empire, there is a reason why disciples of the Unity Clan can be rated as Prophet Walkers of the empire!
"Our Unity Clan is a Sect that combines various advanced secret techniques. Although our clan members may not have strong individual combat abilities, they are all proficient in various methods, such as Refining Materials and Alchemy. For instance, this Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword was crafted by our Unity Clan's master!"
"Therefore, the Alchemy materials you need should not be lacking for our Unity Clan! Speak up! What materials do you want?" Eerie Man became animated when discussing his Sect!
Ye Feng felt a surge of emotions; he truly found what he was looking for without much effort. Given the way the other party was acting, it seemed he could obtain the auxiliary materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill without spending a single coin!
He then mentioned Nine Origin Root and Flame Dragon Grass! Sure enough, Eerie Man showed a momentary look of discomfort but quickly replied in a deep voice, "The precious Alchemy materials you mentioned are likely quite expensive across the entire Eastern Continent!"
"If it were that easy to buy, I wouldn't be wandering around the Dark Exchange!" Ye Feng self-deprecatingly remarked.
Eerie Man looked at him and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! No problem! I can give them to you!"
With those words, Ye Feng finally revealed a warm smile...
