Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

"Fellow Daoist Feng, does this kid really possess the Immortal-Exterminating Pearl?"

Just when everyone was unaware, an inaudible voice sounded in Feng Laoguai's ears. It was the voice of Hu Laomo.

It’s just that the old demon used some kind of mysterious magic. Even though he didn’t move his lips or teeth, he was still able to transmit information without anyone noticing.

Even though Yan Yun's spiritual power was quite strong, he was unable to detect anything unusual.

Although Old Monster Feng was concerned about Yan Yun and had many complaints about him, he still told the truth when asked by Old Monster Hu. After a brief hesitation, he immediately said through voice transmission:

"This young man holds more than one Immortal-Exterminating Pearl. If Brother Hu really intends to fight him, I'm afraid he will face considerable challenges."

When Hu Lao Mo heard this, there was no obvious change on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.

The fact that the other party possessed the Immortal-Destroying Pearl already made him feel wary. If there was more than one, it would be enough to pose a substantial threat.

However, this was not what he was most worried about!
As he was thinking this in his mind, Hu Lao Mo suddenly turned his voice transmission to Xiang Zhili:

"Brother Xiang, the space node provided by this young man may not be complete. Do you know anything about it?"

"It doesn't matter whether he knows or not. If it were me, I would never reveal all the information so easily. The key is that he has promised to cooperate with us."

"As time goes by, he will gradually reveal all the secrets. As for the rest, I don't care."

"But please make sure that no matter what the situation is, his life is not harmed."

Xiang Zhili did not raise his eyelids, but just moved his lips slightly to transmit his voice in response.

"Humph, this young man is so arrogant now. If I retreat now, wouldn't others think that I am afraid of a late Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Hu Lao Mo snorted coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied with this.

"Friend Hu, you have been in the Demon Palace for too long, so you are a little confused."

"For practitioners of our realm, how can false fame be compared with the eternal life of the Great Dao?"

"Although the girl is stunningly beautiful, are you really willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a concubine?"

"However, if you really can't calm down the anger in your heart."

"As long as his life is not endangered and he is guaranteed not to turn against us, and we teach him a lesson, I will turn a blind eye."

Xiang Zhili replied in a calm tone.

"It seems that I am the only one who can play the role of the villain. Let's see what kind of bargaining chips he can come up with to exchange for Zi Ling."

Hu Lao Mo pondered for a moment and ended the voice transmission.

Then, he turned his head again and looked at Yan Yun not far away, and said coldly:
"In consideration of the favors of fellow Daoists Xiang and Feng, as long as you take back your previous remarks now, I can pretend that nothing has ever happened and forgive you for your slip of the tongue this time."

The old demon's threat was clearly revealed, but he left room for Yan Yun in his words.

Hearing these words, the blue-robed scholar and Nascent Soul cultivators such as Old Man Kuzhu in the hall were all shocked.

They could naturally sense that the Heavenly Demon Sect's Grand Elder did seem to have a certain degree of fear towards Yan Yun.

Otherwise, he was obviously extremely angry just now and should never have said such words.

Everyone looked at Yan Yun in surprise, trying to see what kind of ability he possessed that could make the old man in the wooden crown change his original intention.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Fellow Daoist Hu! Unfortunately, I have always had the habit of changing what I said at will. Fellow Daoist Hu, please carefully consider what Yan said before."

Yan Yun responded without hesitation.

At this moment, the old man with the wooden crown was filled with anger, his face turned extremely pale, and he uttered three "good" words in succession.

His sharp eyes glanced back and forth between Zi Ling and Yan Yun, and a suffocating momentum burst out. The whole person seemed to turn into a huge whirlpool, and the spiritual energy in the hall gathered towards him.

This made all the monks present who felt the old demon's powerful spiritual pressure feel awe, and a thought involuntarily emerged in their minds.

It seems that this old demon has indeed been angered by Yan Yun, and he is probably about to take action.

While Danggui was thinking about this, the two cultivators who were closer to Yan Yun looked at each other and decisively chose to leave the place quietly to avoid any conflict that would harm themselves.

Although Zi Ling has successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she is still facing a powerful and ferocious-looking God Transformation cultivator.

She still couldn't withstand the impact of his powerful spiritual pressure. Her expression changed instantly, her body swayed slightly, and she took two steps back, finally stopping steadily in front of the table that had been prepared for Yan Yun.

At this moment, a warm hand fell silently on Zi Ling's shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure magical power flowed into her body continuously.

Zi Ling only felt a warm current flowing through her body. The original oppressive feeling like a knife cutting disappeared instantly, and it was as comfortable and pleasant as a spring breeze blowing on her face.

She subconsciously looked back and saw Yan Yun gently placing a broad hand on her shoulder with a faint smile on his face.

Although Zi Ling didn't know why Yan Yun could remain so calm, after seeing his smile, the tension in her heart gradually eased.

She bit her lip gently, a blush appeared on her face, and she smiled back.

"Haha, since you have a special liking for this girl, then I will help you. Please don't misunderstand, I am not not giving you a chance."

"As long as you are willing to take out the two spiritual treasures in your hands as an exchange, Zi Ling's freedom will be at your fingertips."

When Hu Lao Mo saw the scene, he was furious, but he showed a hint of sneer. Then the powerful aura on his body gradually dissipated, and he made a jaw-dropping request.

When the other monks present heard this condition, they exchanged knowing glances.

In their opinion, Hu Lao Mo obviously had no intention of releasing Zi Ling, otherwise why would he put forward such a ridiculous condition?
Tongtian Lingbao is the most precious treasure between heaven and earth. Every time it appears in the world, it will cause a bloody storm in the world of immortal cultivation.

Even the top cultivators from various sects would be envied by others if they had one or two imitation spiritual treasures in their hands.

Now, Hu Lao Mo asked the other party to take out two real spiritual treasures in exchange as soon as he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he had no sincerity at all.

However, from another perspective, Hu Lao Mo did not take action immediately, which was considered a great respect for the other party.

It was unbelievable that Yan Yun actually had two spiritual treasures in his hands. If it weren't for this reason, he probably wouldn't have been able to plunge Yinluo Sect into chaos on his own.

It seems that it is indeed true that the leader of the Yinluo Sect died at his hands.

The other cultivators speculated in their hearts, and when Zi Ling heard this condition, her face turned extremely pale. She knew very well how precious the spiritual treasure was, and she knew that no one would accept such an unrealistic condition.

"Your request of exchanging spiritual treasures is too demanding. I'm sorry I can't agree to it."

Yan Yun sighed and rejected the proposal without hesitation. "Then how about exchanging it with your Immortal-killing Pearl?" Hu Lao Mo continued with a sneer.

"I also cannot agree to exchange the Immortal-Destroying Pearl. Even if I am willing to exchange it, I am worried that losing the protection of this treasure will become an excuse for you to turn against me and kill me."

Yan Yun frowned, but still shook his head firmly.

"Haha, you do have some self-awareness. But besides the spiritual treasure and the Immortal-killing Pearl, what other treasures do you have that are worth my coveting?"

"I have experienced many vicissitudes of life. Even if there are still things in the world that can make my heart beat, they will never appear on you."

Hu Lao Mo said with a mocking look on his face.

"Is that really the case? How many years do you have left to live, Brother Hu?"

Yan Yun suddenly asked with a smile on his face.

"Although my life span is coming to an end, it will be effortless to extend it for another three or four hundred years. Why do you mention this, Your Excellency?"

Hu Lao Mo was deeply surprised by this question and showed an expression of surprise on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of mystery appeared on Yan Yun's face. His lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out. He actually began to use the art of sound transmission again.

Then, Yan Yun’s voice came to the ears of the old man in the wooden crown.

"If Brother Hu is given a chance to extend his lifespan to four or five hundred years, would you be willing to release Miss Zi Ling from the Demon Palace?"

"Four or five hundred years. Could it be that you are referring to the legendary Huiyang Water?"

The old man in the wooden crown, who originally had a sneer on his face, suddenly straightened up and his expression changed drastically in an instant.

Originally, Old Monster Feng, who was watching the fight on the side, could not hear the content of the voice transmission clearly, but when he saw the old demon's reaction, he couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

Xiang Zhili also opened his eyes at this moment and looked at Hu Laomo with suspicion.

Hu Lao Mo then realized his own loss of composure. As his thoughts turned, his expression quickly returned to normal. However, Yan Yun continued to hear Lao Mo's voice transmission in his ears:
"In the human world, the only elixir that can extend life to such a long time is the rumored Huiyang Water."

"It is rare that you have such a holy medicine in your hands. If so, I am willing to release this girl and even give you more rewards."

The old demon's tone suddenly became enthusiastic, as if he had changed his face.

"Yan doesn't have the finished product of Huiyang Water. He only has a portion of cold marrow, the main ingredient needed to make Huiyang Water."

Yan Yun did not hide too much and responded calmly.

"Is it just cold marrow?" The old demon's tone revealed disappointment. It was obvious that his heart was full of contradictions and struggles at this moment!

“If Yan really has the finished product of Huiyang Water, why would he need to trade with fellow Daoist? He can just hand it over to Senior Brother Xiang and Fellow Daoist Feng.”

"I believe they will immediately help Yan to forcibly take Miss Zi Ling away. I think it will be difficult for you to stop them."

"Fellow Daoist, you should know how to refine Huiyang Water. Although the Sun Essence Fire is quite rare, with the Cold Marrow and the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it is still quite possible to refine Huiyang Water."

"How about this? I, Yan, use this material as a condition to ask Brother Hu to release Miss Zi Ling. It can't be considered as taking advantage of Brother Dao, right?"

Yan Yun said with confidence.

For these cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, perhaps an elixir that can prolong life is far better than one or two spiritual treasures, and may arouse their keen interest.

Yan Yun was convinced that Hu Lao Mo would not remain indifferent to this. If he did not have this item in his hand, it would be quite difficult for him to take Zi Ling away from the Demon Palace.

Of course, he dared to bring up this idea because the other party had developed a certain degree of fear of him.

Otherwise, he would not want to provoke a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage to launch a fierce attack on him.

The voice transmission on the other side fell into a brief silence, while the old demon himself had a flickering gaze and a thoughtful look on his face.

Old Monster Feng and Xiang Zhili looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Neither of them knew what Hu Lao Mo and Yan Yun had talked about that caused the originally furious Lao Mo to suddenly lose his anger.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators present were equally curious.

However, none of them dared to ask rashly.

"As far as I know, cold marrow is only produced in Xiaoji Palace. If there had not been a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage in Xiaoji Palace in the past, and the Sun Essence Fire was difficult to obtain."

"This item has long been forcibly seized by other cultivators. Although there are no more cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage in Xiaoji Palace now, the Cold Marrow mysteriously disappeared many years ago. I once sneaked into Xiaoji Palace to search for it, but found nothing."

"May I ask where did you get the cold marrow in your hand? Could it be the bottle that was lost in Xiaoji Palace?"

Hu Lao Mo asked in a gloomy voice.

"Of course not. How could there be such a coincidence in this world that the lost bottle of cold marrow would fall into Yan's hands."

"Yan Mou only retrieved this item from the ten thousand year old black jade in the Black Jade Cave of the Xuling Hall of the Xiaoji Palace after going through great hardships."

"However, when exchanging with you this time, I cannot take out all of it."

"After a little division, it is already quite difficult to make two bottles of Huiyang Water."

Yan Yun seemed to have anticipated that the old demon would ask this question, and he responded calmly without any fear.

"Humph, I don't care where this treasure came from. This thing is already extremely precious, and it's enough for me to use."

"However, if Fellow Daoist Yan really decides to use this as a bargaining chip, I have another request. If Fellow Daoist Yan can agree to this, I will promise to release Zi Ling from Mount Motuo."

The old man with the wooden crown looked around, suddenly interrupted the voice transmission, and spoke directly.

"What kind of conditions?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Yun's eyes. He was indeed surprised that the other party proposed additional conditions.

"It's very simple. In addition to what Daoist Yan said, Daoist Yan also needs to withstand a blow from me."

“You are not allowed to dodge, and you are not allowed to use the Immortal-Exterminating Pearl. Regardless of whether Fellow Daoist Yan can withstand it or not, I will not stop you.”

The old man in the wooden crown glanced at Zi Ling and said with a stern expression.

Xiang Zhili's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he returned to normal in an instant. On the other hand, Old Monster Feng looked at the old demon in astonishment.

The reactions of the others were even more varied! (End of this chapter)
