"Since that's the case, I'll trouble you to put more thought into selecting people." He then slightly bowed, his attitude becoming somewhat more respectful. From now on, it seemed he was beginning to adapt to his new identity.
"Rest assured, Commander Ji Xing. I will not let Senior Scarlet Sky Lord's reputation be tarnished." Chen Fei said.
After finishing his words, he turned and swiftly flew towards the exit of the inheritance space.
"Commander Ji Xing, please enter the Octagonal Mystic Tower first. I will immediately go to retrieve the Scarlet Sky Army's Military Talisman." A silver-white pagoda appeared, shining in the sky.
"As you command, my lord!" Ji Xing shouted, transforming into a brilliant spirit light and entering the Octagonal Mystic Tower.
Whoosh!
Then the Octagonal Mystic Tower shrank again, flying back into Chen Fei's hand, and his figure transformed into a Startling Swan, flying out of the inheritance space.
At the same time, this inheritance space began to collapse with a rumble.
...
In that dilapidated palace, seven giant stone statues furrowed their brows, watching the passage outside, their eyes flickering with a heavy color.
Just before, they suddenly saw a group of beings full of sinister Demon Qi rushing out from the depths of the palace, not entangling with them at all, and quickly left the ruined palace.
They wanted to pursue, but the escape speed of the other party was too fast, and their range of movement was actually only limited to the surroundings of this ruined palace.
After the other party escaped, they could only watch them leave helplessly. There was no choice.
"Thousand Cranes Demon Clan!?"
Pei Wanning, the only figure in the dilapidated palace, saw those figures, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but contract suddenly, muttering in astonishment.
The cultivators of Ghost Wolf City were mortal enemies with the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan! So with her background and status, how could she not be curious about their origins?
But why would the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan appear in this underground palace? This is the territory of Ghost Wolf City!
Could it be that they are not afraid of being discovered by their people!?
Then her pretty face slightly changed color, and her beautiful eyes looked towards the depths of the underground palace.
This group of the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan was obviously escaping from the depths of the underground palace; Chen Fei, Zhul Xing, and others must have encountered them?
Who knows, what exactly is the situation inside now?
Buzz!
Rumble...
Whoosh!
But at this moment, a faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the depths of the palace, followed by the already dilapidated palace collapsing again with a rumble.
However, a figure shot out from the collapsing debris directly.
Chen Fei?
Pei Wanning's beautiful eyes were startled, locking onto that figure.
"Bastard, over here." Then she waved to Chen Fei.
"Hm?" Chen Fei paused slightly, looking in the direction of the voice, then smiled slightly and dove towards Pei Wanning, saying with a smile, "Looks like I didn't keep you waiting long? Thank you for your hard work."
Pei Wanning's pretty face turned a little red, but then her mind stirred, and she directly asked, "Did you encounter those Thousand Cranes Demon Clan earlier? Why did they run away? And Zhul Xing? Why didn't I see him?"
"Zhul Xing? You mean that arrogant fellow? He's dead." Chen Fei said with a smile. However, his words made Pei Wanning's pretty face suddenly freeze.
"Dead?" Pei Wanning's complexion changed dramatically and said, "Who killed him? How did he die? Was it those Thousand Cranes Demon Clan earlier?"
To know, Zhul Xing was the hope of the young generation of the Yan Zhen Sect, and he died here, at the hands of the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan? If this news is brought back, won't Yan Zhen Sect go crazy!?
Apparently, she never even considered the possibility that Chen Fei could kill Zhul Xing.
"Them? No, I was the one who killed that guy." Chen Fei shook his head, admitted frankly.
"What? You!" Pei Wanning was stunned, staring at Chen Fei. Was it him who killed Zhul Xing? How is that possible!?
"What, you don't believe me? Do I seem like someone whose words are so unreliable?" Chen Fei shrugged helplessly. These days, it's really a bit hard to make people believe the truth, huh?
"No, I..." Pei Wanning's face was dumbfounded, her heart in chaos, looking at Chen Fei for a while before her lips trembled, "Did you really kill Zhul Xing? What on earth happened?"
Her heart was in turmoil right now. Zhul Xing, invincible among the young generation of Ghost Wolf City, it would already be considered impressive for anyone to receive a few moves from him, yet now, such a talent was killed by Chen Fei.
How could she not be shaken inside, how could she calm down!?
"Is there any doubt?" Chen Fei shrugged again, recounting what happened inside the inheritance space.
"Hiss! Demon King Corpse, the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan took the Demon King Corpse? Also, you have now received the inheritance of the Scarlet Sky Army?" After hearing this, Pei Wanning was once again shocked, her pretty face shaking.
The cultivators of Ghost Wolf City are mortal enemies with the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan, so of course they know the terrifying turmoil that would arise if such a powerful corpse falls into their hands.
The Thousand Cranes Demon Clan has a formidable innate ability, which is poison refining. Whether it's a strange poisonous item or an ancient demon corpse, they can transform it into a terrifying toxin, which then becomes a resource for climbing higher ranks.
And just thinking about the kind of terrifying poison that a Demon King Corpse can refine made her feel a bit on edge.
This seems to be a big deal...
"You've already obtained the heritage of the Scarlet Sky Army?" At this moment, a deep voice emerged; it was the seven giant stone statues speaking after being silent for so long.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei didn't speak. The Octagonal Mystic Tower automatically flew out, and Ji Xing's voice followed from within, his figure slowly emerging while gazing at the statues: "Old friends, thank you very much indeed over these years."
"Haha!" The seven giant stone statues let out an unrestrained laugh, sounding as if they were thoroughly liberated, saying: "Not letting your past instructions go to waste, Commander Ji, is a privilege for us. Since that's the case, we shall go ahead first."
Upon saying that, the massive bodies of the seven giant stone statues suddenly became crystalline, with fragments gradually falling off as if glowing... In the end, all the stone statues turned into nothingness and vanished.
Their centuries-long mission was finally complete, and they were liberated.
"Farewell, old friends." Ji Xing's posture was tall and resilient... He knew they were gone only after seeing the seven giant stone statues thoroughly dissolve; then he slowly returned to the Octagonal Mystic Tower.
Whoosh!
The latter transformed into a radiant treasure light and returned to Chen Fei's hand.
"The entire Scarlet Sky Army is inside this little tower." Pei Wanning looked with astonishment at the Octagonal Mystic Tower, realizing that this little tower was anything but ordinary.
"That's right." Chen Fei nodded, then moved on to ask, "What about the people from the Yan Zhen Sect? Why aren't they here anymore?"
"Earlier, a message came from the Underground Palace that a peerless treasure is emerging, and they couldn't contain themselves, so they left first," Pei Wanning explained.
"A peerless treasure is emerging?" Chen Fei's expression slightly changed as he immediately thought of the Scarlet Sky Army's military talisman mentioned by Ji Xing.
But then, as if realizing something, he looked at her and smiled, saying, "With a peerless treasure emerging, even those old folks from the Yan Zhen Sect are tempted. Why didn't you go?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Wanning's stunning face blushed slightly, she turned her head, and hummed softly without speaking.
"Hehe."
Chen Fei chuckled, reached out, grabbed Pei Wanning's hand, and walked towards the palace's exit.
"Let's go and take a look."
"Are you crazy?" Pei Wanning immediately stopped Chen Fei, worriedly saying, "Do you know how many powerful experts are there now? If you appear, you'll surely become everyone's enemy!"
"Everyone's enemy?" Chen Fei laughed, his eyes showing a trace of peculiar color, softly saying, "Those guys made me flee for so long before. Now it's time for me to collect some interest, isn't it? Don't worry, I have my own plan."
Hearing this, Pei Wanning couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat; was Chen Fei suggesting a fight against all those people?
However, she then thought of the Scarlet Sky Army heritage that Chen Fei had just obtained.
"Can you now control the Scarlet Sky Army in battle?" she spoke while even she couldn't help but take a slight breath.
Because now she could roughly guess how powerful this army named Scarlet Sky Army was!
If one day, Chen Fei could completely control it, then even those in the Primordial Core True Lord realm could be challenged, right?
The problem is, even so, that someday is not now, right?
Can this Scarlet Sky Army, having hibernated for so long, still possess the combat power of its prime? That's impossible...
"Of course not." Chen Fei shook his head, saying, "Rest assured, I have my own plan; at least I can kill Zhul Xing, and even if I can't beat these people, escaping should be no problem, right?"
Hearing this, Pei Wanning was taken aback.
Indeed, if Chen Fei can really kill Zhul Xing, the rest of the people in the Underground Palace probably won't be able to stop him.
"Remember not to let slip that Zhul Xing died by your hand... otherwise, you'll face extreme danger! A huge disaster awaits." Her expression turned serious as she spoke.
Zhul Xing was the hope of the Yan Zhen Sect, and now he's dead. Naturally, the Yan Zhen Sect will react extremely once they realize this!
If they find out the killer is Chen Fei... the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I know." Chen Fei nodded, his eyes flickering.
He knew he had entered the heritage space with Zhul Xing, so even if he didn't kill him, this blame wouldn't escape him. Whether to admit it or not, whether to reveal it or not, it didn't matter.
After all, the Yan Zhen Sect would definitely come after him once they learn the news; there's no doubt about it!
Unless he can kill everyone in the Underground Palace to prevent the news from spreading... but not considering whether he can do it or not, doing so would make his intentions more obvious, right?
Forget it, let's see the situation when the time comes,
When the ship comes to the bridge, naturally straight ahead.
