Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 645: Chapter 471: Rescue – Part 2

No force is uninterested in Zhou Chengfeng, who possesses the strongest mind, yet who could have thought he was imprisoned in this endless Dahai.

Still hidden within the edge of the cliff.

”Even if they know, so what? They have no chance of approaching anyway.”

Yue Ming floated mid-air, his bloodstained eyes swept around, and his gaze lingered on the seafloor, finding nothing out of the ordinary.

Listening to Ye Yi’s words, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.

He wasn’t too worried about Zhou Chengfeng being rescued.

This cliff is shrouded in an Array. If outsiders break in by force, he can sense it instantly, and there is only one entrance here, which is the stone gate.

Even if someone successfully breaks in, all they will find is Zhou Chengfeng’s corpse.

Yue Ming and the others landed in front of the stone gate, not sparing a glance at the two guards kneeling there.

”Leave five people to guard it.”

Yue Ming said.

Although he didn’t think there would be any problems, he remained cautious.

After all, Zhou Chengfeng is extremely important and cannot be lost.

When the stone gate opened, the group disappeared, and only then did the two guards dare to raise their heads.

.....

”They’ve all entered inside the stone gate.”

Yue Mingming said.

”Then let’s start preparing.”

Lin Feng said, and at the same time opened his mouth to release bubbles one by one. The transparent bubbles floated to everyone, quickly enlarging and encasing them within.

Inside the bubbles, people could breathe freely, without being submerged in seawater, although the speed of movement was somewhat slow.

One by one, the giant bubbles drifted out of the whale’s mouth, floating ten meters deep below the sea surface.

The atmosphere grew tense while waiting, as the battle was about to begin, and this time it was against the Emperor.

...

In the cave.

”My lord.”

The eighteen guards monitoring the area all knelt on the ground, respectfully saying.

”My lord.”

Jiu Xing came before Yue Ming, bowing slightly.

Yue Ming ignored them, only looking towards Zhou Chengfeng.

At this moment, Zhou Chengfeng’s body was slightly stiff. He turned to face the slowly approaching Yue Ming, his gaze revealing undisguised hatred and fear.

”Long time no see.”

Yue Ming came before Zhou Chengfeng, smiling as he spoke.

He didn’t care about Zhou Chengfeng’s gaze; on the contrary, he was very pleased.

He enjoyed seeing the enemy revealing expressions of hatred mixed with fear.

Ye Yi’s gaze flickered slightly as he examined Zhou Chengfeng.

This old man with a scholarly demeanor seemed unremarkable, yet he was a top-level talent desired by nations and great powers around the world.

Obtaining him meant possessing various top-level Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, as well as the evolution paths of various Demon Spirits.

And this was just one aspect of Zhou Chengfeng’s value.

Such talent is far more important than an Emperor.

If possible, he wanted to abduct him directly.

For this, he was willing to break with Yue Ming.

But clearly, he couldn’t, and this is why Yue Ming dared to let him follow.

”It would have been better this way from the start, rather than enduring all that pain and torment?” Yue Ming asked with a smile.

”If you want me to extend your life, you must first sign a Soul Contract, and once successful, release me, and don’t permit any threats, nor use the lives of other Human Race members as leverage. These are my conditions for extending your life.”

Zhou Chengfeng said, his tone firm.

He did this on purpose.

Although he couldn’t possibly extend Yue Ming’s life, he didn’t want Yue Ming to suspect his sudden change.

”I agree, your value lies in extending my life; once successful, there’s no need to imprison you.” Yue Ming nodded slightly.

These words were not a bit false.

He also worried that Zhou Chengfeng might not do his utmost, knowing he only had two or three good years left.

Zhou Chengfeng is his only hope for a successful life extension.

Seeing Yue Ming agree, Zhou Chengfeng glanced at the corpses strewn not far away, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Even though he had agreed, Jiu Xing did not stop this game.

In three days, everyone was dead.

The two young children were no exception.

”Once the life extension succeeds, no one will die because of you again.”

Noticing Zhou Chengfeng’s gaze, Yue Ming said.

”Ha, you’re so kind-hearted.”

Zhou Chengfeng sneered coldly, the sarcasm evident.

”How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful to my lord! Kneel!”

Jiu Xing suddenly reprimanded Zhou Chengfeng.

He was accustomed to this kind of behavior and didn’t think much of it.

Just as he was about to step forward to teach Zhou Chengfeng a lesson, he was interrupted by a slap from Yue Ming: ”Don’t be so loud, it wouldn’t do to scare him.”

At this moment, all Yue Ming wanted was a successful life extension, not to provoke Zhou Chengfeng.

”Yes.”

After being slapped, Jiu Xing lowered his head, not daring to express any dissatisfaction.

The others watched coldly, some corners of their mouths twitching in a mocking smile. If you want to court favor with the lord, you have to use your brain.

”Since you’ve agreed, let’s move on.” Yue Ming said to Zhou Chengfeng.

”Kill him, and only then will I extend your life!”

Zhou Chengfeng stood up, looked at Jiu Xing who had previously scolded him, and spoke smilingly.

In that instant, it seemed he tore away the refined veneer of a scholar, his expression revealing a hint of ruthlessness and madness.

Jiu Xing’s complexion changed, his gaze toward Zhou Chengfeng filled with murderous intent, yet he dared not make any move.

”What, do you want to kill me?”

Zhou Chengfeng asked.

Jiu Xing remained silent.

By now, he was already regretting.

Yue Ming took no action, merely watching Zhou Chengfeng with an intrigued gaze.

Although he agreed to sign a Soul Contract, he didn’t want to just follow Zhou Chengfeng’s lead.

”You’ve already made one condition.”

Zhou Chengfeng waved his robe and sat back down, smiling as he said, ”Is that so? Well, this is the second condition, and if anyone else provokes me, there might just be a third condition.”

Yue Ming put away his smile, and at this moment, Zhou Chengfeng exuded an air of fearless confidence.
