Chapter 14935 Yelü Xuan's Deal
Not long after the little phoenix left, an uninvited guest arrived in Chishui City.
A silent spatial rift suddenly opened in the void above the crater, swirling with black mist.
A middle-aged man slowly walked out of the crack. He was tall and slender, and wore a dark purple robe.
The man had a refined and gentle face, with a humble smile on his lips. His eyes and brows were gentle, and at first glance, he looked like a well-read and elegant scholar.
But his eyes completely betrayed his identity.
Those eyes had a deep, eerie green hue, cold and unsettling, exactly like the eyes of Yelü Jin, the patriarch of the Demon Soul Clan.
This person was none other than Yelü Xuan, a top expert of the Demon Soul Clan.
Yelü Xuan hovered above the crater, bowing slightly, displaying utmost courtesy.
"This junior, Yelü Xuan of the Demon Soul Clan, has presumptuously visited Senior Chishui and disturbed your cultivation. I hope Senior will forgive me."
There was no hostility, only humility. Clearly, this guy wasn't there to cause trouble for Chishui Phoenix, but to ask for help.
The magma deep within the crater churned violently in an instant, and the true form of the Red Water Phoenix rose from the scalding magma, blotting out the sky.
Her entire body was engulfed in blazing crimson-gold divine fire, her wings outstretched, covering the entire sky.
"Demon Soul Clan. You have quite the nerve, daring to trespass into my dojo."
Chishui Phoenix never expected that the Demon Soul Clan would dare to come here to find her. You must know that back then, the Demon Soul Clan killed many people in Chishui City.
Yelü Xuan's smile remained unchanged: "Senior, please calm down. I have come here not to be your enemy, but with utmost sincerity to pay my respects."
"Sincerity?" Red Water Phoenix sneered. "Your Demon Soul Clan's sincerity is to secretly send people to win over the Barbarian King while I'm in seclusion, attempting to collude with various forces and disrupt the Chaotic Martial World?"
Yelü Xuan froze for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that his clan's secret attempt to win over the barbarian king would be discovered by the Red Water Phoenix so quickly. The speed of their information gathering was truly astonishing.
"Senior is indeed all-powerful and omniscient." Yelü Xuan was only slightly taken aback before quickly regaining his composure. "However, I can explain that our relationship with the Barbarian King is merely a routine attempt to win him over and rely on each other; but with you, senior, we are sincere and want to work together to achieve great things and reach a cooperation agreement."
"Cooperation?" Chishui Phoenix scoffed even more. "Back then, your Demon Soul Clan wreaked havoc in the Chaotic Martial World, slaughtering countless lives. Many people in my Chishui City were also killed by you. If it weren't for Hong Qi's intervention, the Chaotic Martial World would probably have become your killing field. Now, after years of silence, you have reappeared in the world, still full of ambition. What qualifications do you have to talk to me about cooperation?"
Yelü Xuan was clearly prepared. He smiled, took out a dark green jade slip from his robes, held it with both hands, and respectfully raised it above his head before offering it to the Red Water Phoenix.
"Senior, please take a look. This is the sincerity that I bring."
Chishui Phoenix glanced at the object, then raised her hand and summoned it into her grasp.
The item was very light and not a treasure, but Chishui Phoenix knew that what Yelü Xuan brought was definitely not simple.
If there's nothing wrong with the product itself, then there must be something wrong with its contents.
Immediately, she channeled her divine sense into the jade slip.
The next moment, her expression changed drastically.
The jade slip records a forbidden secret technique that has been lost for a long time. It is a heaven-defying forbidden technique that can condense remnant souls, nourish soul bodies, and bring dissipated souls back to life.
The level of detail in this forbidden technique far exceeded the Red Water Phoenix's imagination.
From the collection, preservation, nurturing, and tempering of the remnant soul, to the reshaping and forging of the new physical body and the fusion of bloodlines, and finally to the perfect fusion of soul and body and rebirth, every step is written clearly and meticulously.
It even lists all the difficulties and hidden dangers that may be encountered during cultivation, as well as the corresponding solutions, in a complete and thorough manner.
This is neither a deceptive trick nor a flawed sham.
This is a truly complete and flawless forbidden resurrection technique.
Chishui Phoenix's fingers, gripping the jade slip, began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
She has lived through countless years, witnessed the vicissitudes of time, seen countless extraordinary people and events, and experienced countless life-and-death separations. Her heart has long been as firm as a rock.
But there was only one thing, a deep-seated pain buried in her heart for countless years, a pain she could never let go of...
The man she loved with all her heart, in order to protect her, was annihilated by a powerful enemy.
Therefore, she has been desperately searching for a way to revive her lover. To this end, she traveled all over the Chaotic Martial World, and even almost died. It was because of those experiences that she was able to become one of the eight strongest people in the Chaotic Martial World.
If we possess this forbidden technique... wouldn't there be a chance to bring her beloved back to the world?
Chishui Phoenix took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, and slowly put the jade slip into her sleeve.
What do you want?
Yelü Xuan's smile widened. As long as Chishui Phoenix accepted this item, he would have no choice but to agree to their demands. After all, these so-called top experts all cared about their reputation.
Moreover, they value face very much.
This is also their weakness.
"It's very simple. My clan has only two conditions: if you agree, senior, this forbidden resurrection technique will be offered up and belong to you."
"First, I request that you, senior, help my Demon Soul Clan twice, only twice."
"Twice? You dare to ask?" Chishui Phoenix sneered repeatedly.
"Twice shouldn't be too much, after all, this forbidden resurrection technique was something our Demon Soul Clan risked our lives to find." Yelü Xuan smiled.
"Is twice enough? Or should I give you one more time? How about I just risk my life for your Demon Soul Clan?" The Crimson Phoenix's voice was somewhat cold.
No one likes being coerced, especially these top experts.
"No, no, no, with your extraordinary cultivation, these two actions are enough to turn the tide of the battle, change the power structure of the entire Chaotic Martial Realm, and help our clan clear the obstacles in our way."
Yelü Xuan hurriedly said that he knew he couldn't be too forceful in this matter, otherwise it would be troublesome if these powerful people felt they were being coerced.
"Stop talking nonsense, what's the second condition?" Chishui Phoenix interrupted Yelü Xuan's rambling and asked.
Yelü Xuan smiled and slowly said, "Secondly, after you make two more moves, no matter what kind of conflict occurs between my clan and Lingxiao, do not get involved. Just stay out of it."
"Ling Xiao? Heh, no wonder! No wonder you came looking for me, you're afraid I'd help Ling Xiao against you? Let me tell you the truth, I would never lay a hand on Ling Xiao, don't even think about it!"
That young man had recently helped her refine a seven-star high-grade holy rune stone, and she still owed him a favor.
She can do other things, but she can't bring herself to deal with Ling Xiao.
Everyone cares about their reputation, especially someone like her who is among the top experts in the chaotic martial arts world; her reputation is even more important to her.
Having just received a favor from someone, is it reasonable to turn around and turn against them?
