"Moreover, Pei Hong, don’t you want to kill him?"
The Earth Nether King’s face suddenly revealed a sinister hue, "Chen Feng, that youngster, is a top genius among the Human Clan, his essence blood must be a great tonic."
Having said this, the Earth Nether King even stuck out his blood-red tongue, licking his cracked lips, displaying a cruel smile.
Hearing this, Pei Hong’s face also showed a look of temptation.
The fresh blood of a genius was the best supplement for the Undying Blood Clan.
"Still, we cannot afford to be careless."
Although Pei Hong was tempted, he still shook his head and said, "Both Xue Wuya and the Great Elder underestimated this Chen Feng, which led to their own fatal disasters after lurking in the Blood God Sect for many years. It’s a pity that all their efforts were for naught."
"You’re giving that Chen Feng too much credit."
The Earth Nether King shook his head, his voice cold, "Xue Wuya’s death may have had some connection to this Chen Feng."
"But the Great Elder’s demise was entirely due to falling for the Blood Empress’s trap and perishing in the Dark Abyss."
"What, do you mean to say that you lost to Chen Feng in the competition at the Blood God Tower and now you don’t even have the confidence to eliminate him?"
Upon hearing these words, Pei Hong did not confirm nor deny, merely saying, "If Chen Feng could outdo me by a slight margin in the Blood God Tower, it just proves his potential is slightly greater; it does not necessarily mean his actual strength surpasses mine."
"In that case, the task of assassinating this boy will be assigned to you."
The Earth Nether King nodded, "You’ll head for the Water Spirit Secret Realm immediately; I don’t want to see that Chen Feng kid return alive to the Blood God Sect."
However, seeing that the Earth Nether King had truly handed the task of killing Chen Feng to him, Pei Hong couldn’t help but frown, "Chen Feng is still accompanied by the Holy Daughter, with just my own strength, I’m afraid I won’t be able to assassinate him."
"Rest assured, I naturally won’t let you fight this battle alone,"
The Earth Nether King said, "Within the Water Spirit Secret Realm, there will be reinforcements contacted by me to meet you."
"They will join forces with you to take care of Chen Feng."
Pei Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So the Master had already arranged everything in advance. In that case, as your disciple, I shall fulfill my mission without fail."
After speaking, Pei Hong’s figure suddenly flashed, following in the direction Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan had left, catching up.
Watching Pei Hong head off, the Earth Nether King’s eyes also suddenly flashed with a glint of icy coldness.
The aid he had arranged inside the Water Spirit Secret Realm, and the plan he had set, were enough to easily erase a minor figure like Chen Feng.
That kid, ultimately, could not escape the palm of his hand.
Inside the Water Spirit Secret Realm.
Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan had already entered the realm, arriving at a station to rest temporarily.
This secret realm station had been established jointly by the three major forces of the Demon Sect. Each faction deployed strong individuals to reside there, jointly governing this Water Spirit Secret Realm.
Inside the station, it was quite a mixed bag; the majority were Demon Martial Artists, along with a minority of desperadoes.
By paying a sum of Spirit Stones to the station, one could enter this Water Spirit Secret Realm.
However, no matter who it was, there was a time limit on how long they could stay within the secret realm.
Once the time limit was up, they had to leave the Water Spirit Secret Realm.
Their current operation was not carried out with great fanfare, but rather chose to conceal their identities and move quietly. Otherwise, with the Saint Heir and Holy Daughter of the Blood God Sect departing, surely there would be Blood Beasts paving the way and Blood God Guards accompanying them, wouldn’t there be quite a commotion?
"Why didn’t you come to the Water Spirit Secret Realm openly and with Blood God Guards?"
Lin Yi looked at Shangguan Xinyan beside him, "Wouldn’t it be easier to find the traces of the Holy Spirit Spring with more troops?"
However, Shangguan Xinyan’s gaze was indifferent as she said, "The news of the Holy Spirit Spring in the Water Spirit Secret Realm wasn’t widely known to begin with. Once we start searching for the Holy Spirit Spring with high profile, I’m afraid the news will quickly spread, attracting many irrelevant people and creating a lot of trouble."
Lin Yi nodded, understanding that Shangguan Xinyan did not want to complicate matters and hoped to secure the Holy Spirit Spring before it became widely known.
Just then, in the station, a short-statured Blood-clothed Elder approached Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan.
"Greetings to the Saint Heir, Her Highness the Holy Daughter."
The Blood-clothed Elder opened his mouth, apparently choosing to communicate with them by sending a voice transmission to keep their identities a secret.
"How fare the matters you were charged with?"
Shangguan Xinyan looked at the Blood-clothed Elder before her and asked.
The Blood-clothed Elder immediately bowed to Shangguan Xinyan and said, "Reporting to the Holy Daughter."
"As for the whereabouts of the Holy Spirit Spring, your subordinate has inquired clearly."
Shangguan Xinyan’s beautiful eyes lit up slightly.
"At a place called the Holy Spirit Mountain Range."
The Blood-clothed Elder answered, "But as for the exact location, your subordinate is not aware."
"However, what can be confirmed is that, at present, no one should have found the exact location of the Holy Spirit Spring."
Lin Yi nodded; even if someone knew, they likely wouldn’t share the information — why not monopolize the treasure for themselves?
