Chapter 763: The Envoy of the Most Demonic Tower
"Who is your Excellency?"
The purple-robed man spoke in a sarcastic and unsettling tone from the very first word.
This made Gu Heng a little unhappy.
He didn't care, but Sect Master Hua was the Demon Emperor. You don't even respect the Demon Emperor, yet you dare to spread rumors about him and Hua Yeli. If you anger her, this guy doesn't know how he'll die.
But despite his displeasure, the first problem was that this man definitely didn't care much about Hua Yeli's attitude.
He must be someone of great importance, so great that he can even disregard the Demon Emperor!
“My name is Ling Yi, a special envoy of the Most Demonic Tower. However, I have come here only for personal matters. Since you are an elder of the Flower Extreme Sect, you must cooperate with me.”
The man in purple robes flipped his wrist as if by magic, and a blackish-purple scroll appeared.
"I suppose you have no objections?"
When he suddenly pulled out something resembling an imperial edict, Gu Heng's eyelids twitched.
Is this guy some kind of envoy sent by the Demon Tower?
Gu Heng also used the "omniscient perspective" skill directly and saw the man's basic information. This person was indeed called Ling Yi, but his strength was hard to say. Because it was hard to tell whether this person had any malicious intent, the threat was negligible.
Either this person has no ill intentions towards me, or they are genuinely less skilled than me.
But surely the most powerful person in the Demon Tower shouldn't be a weakling?
But if someone has such a powerful backer, it doesn't seem to matter whether they're weak or not. After all, if someone dares to touch the people of the Demon Tower, it's like slapping the Great Demon Lord in the face. The consequences are obvious.
Those powerful individuals who think this guy is weak will probably have to consider whether they are even good enough to be a mere morsel for the Demon Lord of the Demon Tower.
"What kind of cooperation do you need from me?"
Since the other party had asked him for a favor, Gu Heng was happy to listen.
“Let’s talk privately.”
"Okay, let's go to the library; it'll be private enough."
Gu Heng led Ling Yi back to the pavilion outside the Scripture Pavilion. After they sat down, there was no need for formalities. Ling Yi got straight to the point: "I'll just say it directly, I need you to get me someone."
"people?"
"There is a female disciple in the Flower Extreme Sect named Qingluo. You must have seen her before."
Mentioning Qingluo, Gu Heng slowly sat up straight.
Why do you need her?
"Hey, because she's hiding some kind of secret... Do you know who she is?"
"I don't know, isn't she an orphan?"
In fact, Gu Heng was well aware that the reason why orphans were orphans was because they suffered misfortunes in their childhood, so they basically all had enemies on their shoulders.
All the disciples of the Flower Extreme Sect are orphans, and Qingluo is no exception.
But it seems that this Brother Ling Yi knows something about the hidden story behind this?
Gu Heng then became interested in listening.
Besides, when Ling Yi mentioned wanting Qing Luo, Gu Heng had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Qingluo cooks such delicious food, why would she give it to this guy?
He wants it himself!
"She is an orphan because of her lineage!"
Ling Yi spoke mysteriously, "The bloodline of rebellion, are you aware of it?" "Ah, is that her identity?"
Gu Heng heard a new word that he had just learned from ancient books.
It's new to him, but the demons probably already know about it a long time ago.
During the Five Realms War, there were forces and cultivators in the Immortal, Demon, Ancient Netherworld, and even the Xuan Tian Realm who swore allegiance to the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal!
The number wasn't too small, although it was still quite rare compared to the whole world. These followers of the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal fought alongside him, but in the eyes of the other five worlds, they were treasonous.
of course.
After the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal died, these people naturally did not fare well either.
Without a powerful figure to support them, the group was leaderless and was quickly wiped out at the end of the Five Realms War. Those few who defected back to the Demon Realm only managed to save their lives, but they were still branded as "traitors".
Their descendants are the same.
This "traitorous bloodline" lives a miserable life. After all, their repeated acts of betrayal are indeed despicable, and they can only keep a low profile and live a quiet life.
But the number of people with this bloodline is decreasing, because the people of the demon realm take pleasure in hunting them.
"So, why do you need her?"
"Even as a descendant of this bloodline, Qingluo doesn't seem to have anything noteworthy about her, does she?"
Gu Heng stared at Ling Yi.
This guy doesn't look like a good guy.
But perhaps to the demons, Qingluo's birth was a sin in itself, and it would be reasonable for them to kill her or abduct her and do whatever they wanted to her.
"How should I address you, Elder?" Ling Yi glanced at him.
"Gu Heng".
"Elder Gu, you may not know this, but while the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal did die, no one knows where those enormous treasures went after his death. Aren't you surprised?"
"That guy was capable of turning against the four realms of immortals, demons, and the underworld all by himself during the Five Realms War."
Betrayal and defection are not the reasons why the rebellious bloodline is deliberately hunted down by the demons.
Ultimately, it all comes down to profit.
The Crimson Flame Demon Immortal has fallen, but his magical treasures, techniques, and weapons have naturally become highly sought-after!
The question is, who has these things?
It is said that these traitors who have turned against their country possess a treasure left behind by the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal before his death!
Even if there are no unearthed treasures, there must be clues about them!
Therefore, all the major forces in the Demon Realm are very eager for the intelligence or other things in the hands of these defectors.
Thus, those born with the bloodline of sin became prey for other forces in the demon realm.
The key is that everyone tacitly agrees on this; whoever gets the clue first gains the upper hand. If they can get their hands on the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's legacy...
But Gu Heng was just puzzled. So many years have passed, if there really was any legacy, shouldn't it have been unearthed long ago?
Qingluo has become an orphan.
It is certain that her parents were also hunted down.
But after hunting all this way, they mostly returned empty-handed. However, it seemed that some people were still not willing to let go of these few survivors who were barely clinging to life.
"So you think Qingluo has clues to the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal's relic?" Gu Heng asked.
"I don't just think, I'm absolutely certain!"
Ling Yi was very certain.
How confident you are!
Gu Heng wanted to know who gave him his confidence.
