Chapter 716: Chapter 670: Undercurrent (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)_2

"What nonsense are you spouting, Master?" Demon Lord Chi Lian’s expression changed dramatically, "I have already given myself to you, inside and out..."

"Heh heh..." Fang Xi sneered coldly several times, his face expressionless as he spoke, "The prohibition I’ve placed on you is such that not even a Cultivator returning to emptiness could easily remove it, and even for one who has achieved Integration, I’m afraid a certain price would have to be paid..."

The flirtatious smile on Demon Lord Chi Lian’s face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, "So... what now?"

It was only at that moment that she seemed to regain the demeanor of the Demon Lord Chi Lian who led countless members of the Demon Clan and invaded many worlds.

"I can set you free and lift the prohibition on you... but the price?"

Fang Xi smiled faintly, "I want an entire bottle of ’True Demon Qi’!"

"True Demon Qi is so precious in the Lower Realm that even a single thread is invaluable..." Demon Lord Chi Lian shook her head, "Even in the Upper Realm, it’s also..."

"You only need to answer, will you make this trade or not," Fang Xi said in a deep voice.

He would probably not be able to collect much True Demon Qi in this military market.

Next, he would have to take a look at the dangerous black market.

Besides, putting Demon Lord Chi Lian in charge of this task could be considered making good use of resources.

In this way, by working from both ends, the probability of obtaining True Demon Qi would be somewhat higher.

"This servant will naturally do it!"

Demon Lord Chi Lian answered with a charming smile.

"In that case, I’ll find an opportunity to send you out of the camp," Fang Xi said.

He planned to visit the black market in the outside world after some time.

In the black market, people from all walks of life converge, resulting in the most disreputable of environments.

There might even be masters from the Demon and Monster Clans lurking, so although it is dangerous, the chances of collecting sufficient Sky Demon Qi and True Demon Qi are also the greatest.

...

Years later.

Little Night Peak.

Fang Xi and his two companions kept a low profile; they gradually built relationships with the Transcendent God Lieutenants in the vicinity.

He had also acquired a few black market maps and was looking for an opportunity to check them out.

On this day.

Fang Xi was sitting cross-legged, channeling the Pure Demon Essence from his cultivation into the Divine Infant Sword.

The treasures he possessed were few, but each was a fine piece.

Especially the ’Mysterious Dark Banner’ that was second only to his primary Magic Treasure, the Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella.

But because of this, ordinary nurturing was already pointless.

It was better to focus all his energy on the Divine Infant Sword, his life-bound Magic Treasure.

"According to Spirit Communicating Treasures’ classification, the Divine Infant Sword should now also be considered top grade..."

After a long while, Fang Xi slowly ended his cultivation, a trace of a smile on his face.

He stepped out of his secluded dwelling to find two Voice Transmission Talismans flying erratically.

Fang Xi reached out and grabbed them, a huge pitch-black hand materializing to firmly seize the talismans.

Immediately, voices as refreshing as a mountain stream flowed from the talismans.

After listening for a few moments, Fang Xi’s expression gradually darkened.

...

Little Night Peak.

Fang Xi regrouped with Fairy Yunxi and Liu Xu.

"So, that person has approached Yunxi and Liu, seeking information about the Lower Realm. It seems they have quite the background?" Fang Xi lifted his teacup, taking a small sip.

"Exactly..." Fairy Yunxi replied with a wry smile, "Not to mention our Immortal Spirit Document Contract, we wouldn’t want to reveal our origins lightly even without it..."

Immortal Cultivators place great importance on their privacy.

Moreover, both women had joined Fang Xi in overcoming the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, having shared in the spoils together, which meant betrayal would come at a certain cost.

"But that person will clearly not give up easily and will soon bother Yunxi..."

Liu Xu’s expression was stern, "What a bother..."

"Oh? Do you know that person’s identity?"

Fang Xi pinched another piece of cake.

The delicacies of the Earth Immortal Realm were unique compared to the Lower Realm, with this cake as white as clouds and adorned with lively birds, some appearing ready to take flight.

"Sky Brahman Army Lieutenant—Prime Taoist Gu!"

Liu Xu answered.

"Sky Brahman Army, huh?" Fang Xi mused.

The Sky Brahman Army was divided into eight camps: the Heaven Crowd Camp, Dragon Crowd Camp, Yaksha Camp, Qian Dapu Camp, Asura Camp, Garuda Camp, Jinnaruo Camp, and Mahura Camp.

Among them, the Heaven Crowd Camp had the best treatment, its lieutenants subtly outranking the other seven camps’ lieutenants by half a grade.

As for Fang Xi, Fairy Yunxi, and Liu Xu... they were assigned to the Yaksha Camp.

As the three were discussing affairs concerning the Earth Immortal Realm and Sky Brahman Army, Fang Xi suddenly sighed.

He produced a Command Banner in his hand and lightly waved it.

A passageway opened in the Array shrouding Little Night Peak, and a beam of Escape Light flickered before landing in front of the trio, revealing an elderly man.

He had the appearance of a youth despite his white hair, wearing a vine armor, and his cultivation was around a Perfect Transcendent God. Upon seeing Fang Xi and the others, he bowed slightly, "This old man greets the three Sirs..."

"Prime Taoist Gu..."

Fang Xi sighed, "It is not easy for us from the minor worlds to survive. Why must you insist so doggedly? Furthermore, our origins are each person’s secret. Even the Sky Brahman Army does not pry too deeply, so why must you?"

"This old man is simply fulfilling an entrusted task out of loyalty," Prime Taoist Gu said with a smile, "Actually, above me, there is a Commander-level figure... This matter is of great significance. If the Sirs are willing to enlighten me, there are boundless benefits. Otherwise..."

"A Commander-level figure..." Fairy Yunxi and Liu Xu’s expressions changed slightly.

A Commander-level figure in the Sky Brahman Army would be at least at the Returning to Emptiness realm!

However, Fang Xi knew that Returning to Emptiness was just the tip of the iceberg. It was likely that this matter was instigated by Changqingzi from behind the scenes!

Even though the Sky Brahman Army was within the sphere of influence of Jin Gangzi, and there were some disputes between Jin Gangzi and Changqingzi, Changqingzi could still manage to install a few agents if he wished.
