Chapter 41 Yan Ruyu
While Hua Yunfei was waiting for Yan Ruyu, two old men arrived at the place where Fang Yuan and the others had perished.
"This is the place!"
As far as the eye could see, the land was in ruins. This place was not far from the island where the Supreme Emperor Weapons clashed that day, and the land was destroyed beyond recognition.
Amidst the shattered mountains, the corpses of demons and cultivators from the Yao Guang Holy Land lay everywhere.
The protector Feng Xu and another powerful figure landed on the ground. Neither of them spoke, and they were both silently deducing something.
After a long while, they looked at each other and silently shook their heads.
"News has come from the Holy Land that the soul lamps of Fang Yuan, Xia Chengyan, and the other three went out a few days ago."
"It seems they must have died here in an ambush by the demon race."
Another powerful figure was Fang Yuan's master, the Seventh Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land.
His expression was gloomy as he coldly surveyed the land.
"Where is Hua Yunfei? Did he also perish here?"
Feng Xu frowned deeply. At this moment, he was in a terrible mood. The demonic fetus he had painstakingly nurtured for twenty years had all vanished in an instant!
He could not accept this.
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder solemnly replied, "There should be no doubt about it. Master has emerged from seclusion and personally sent word that the restrictions he placed on Hua Yunfei have all dissipated."
"What about their physical bodies? Most of the other disciples' bodies are still intact, but these five have been completely wiped out..."
Feng Xu's face was terribly gloomy; his intuition told him that something was wrong.
"Could it be that the demon race discovered their identities and took away their physical bodies?" Feng Xu said in a deep voice.
"If the demon race discovers their secret, then we'll be in big trouble!"
Seventh Elder shook his head: "I did indeed sense the death aura left behind by Fang Yuan and the others here. From this, we can conclude that their physical bodies were destroyed here, rather than being taken away by someone."
Feng Xu's expression softened slightly, and he felt a little more at ease.
"Go back and tell the Holy Lord first, and also send the message back to the Holy Land to inform our Master..."
The two figures flashed and disappeared from the spot.
In a valley, Hua Yunfei finally met Yan Ruyu.
This demon princess is said to be the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Wilderness.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, she wore an elegant dress, her black hair cascading down her back, her eyes like pools of autumn water, her skin radiant, and her exquisite features flawless. She exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura, untouched by worldly dust, like a fairy from the moon descended to earth.
Hua Yunfei was already utterly amazed when he caught a glimpse of that small island that day.
Now that I have actually seen her in person, I know that she truly deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Wilderness.
"You're Hua Yunfei? I heard about you when I was in the Southern Region."
Yan Ruyu spoke, her voice incredibly beautiful, like heavenly music echoing in the air.
Today, Hua Yunfei has come here in his true form. His ethereal beauty is so striking that even Yan Ruyu cannot help but take notice.
"Your Highness, Yunfei has come here to discuss important matters."
Hua Yunfei stated his purpose directly: he wanted to join forces with the demon race to deal with the Yao Guang Holy Land.
Judging from the original content, Yan Ruyu, the Peacock King, and other demons are still credible. Even if the alliance fails, it doesn't matter if the other party is unwilling to get involved.
At least they won't turn around and kick Hua Yunfei when he's down.
As for whether his identity as a demonic fetus or his status as the inheritor of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art are exposed during the cooperation process, it doesn't matter much anymore.
After all, he had the support of the God King Jiang Taixu and Wei Yi.
If all else fails, bringing out these two would be enough to intimidate a large number of people.
When Yan Ruyu heard that Hua Yunfei actually wanted to plot against and kill the Yao Guang Holy Land, her eyes widened.
She frowned slightly and slowly spoke, "That's a powerful holy land that possesses an ultimate imperial weapon. I'm very curious, where does your confidence come from?"
"We also have Imperial Weapons! And two of them!"
"If we add the Chaos Lotus in the princess's hand, it'll be three against one!"
Yan Ruyu was deeply surprised upon hearing this, her flawless face showing a solemn expression: "The Ji family and the Jiang family, these two ancient aristocratic families, have also gotten involved?"
Hua Yunfei smiled mysteriously: "Even without them, the Eastern Wilderness has more than just these few imperial weapons."
This place is full of exotic flowers and rare herbs, and Yan Ruyu, standing among them, appears exceptionally beautiful and otherworldly.
At this moment, a look of shock appeared on her stunningly beautiful face: "The Devouring Demon Jar is in your hands?"
Hua Yunfei was shocked. This perfect woman was indeed extraordinary; she could deduce the result from just one sentence.
The recent chaos in the Northern Region, which dragged in the thirteen bandits and the demon race, was triggered by Tu Tian losing half of the imperial weapon—the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
As the only imperial weapon that has been lost and has no fixed lineage, and is known to the world, the Devouring Demon Jar is the only one.
"That's right, I got it by chance."
After thinking it over, Hua Yunfei decided to reveal more information to Yan Ruyu.
So he told her about his identity as a demonic fetus, how the Yao Guang Holy Land was parasitized by the Ruthless People's lineage, and how the Ruthless People's lineage plotted to steal her Azure Emperor bloodline.
After all, given Yan Ruyu's indifferent and unambitious nature, even if the Yao Guang Holy Land is hostile to the demon race, she most likely wouldn't want to get involved.
The only way to change her mind is to tell her that she has been targeted by a ruthless group.
The big black dog also came closer and said, "The reason I told you before that I wanted to borrow the imperial weapon is for this reason."
"Later we learned that the Ruthless Clan was also after you, so we decided to form an alliance with you to deal with them together."
Her jade-like robes fluttered, and she was as flawless as a celestial maiden. She looked at Hua Yunfei and asked, "Isn't there a sage behind you?"
"It's true that they do, but I don't want to trouble them unless it's a critical situation."
Hua Yunfei replied.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the forest, much like Yan Ruyu's fluctuating emotions, which remained unsettled for a long time.
She noticed that Hua Yunfei used the word "they".
"This is a very serious matter; how can I trust you?"
She was no ordinary person after all; she quickly calmed down, her eyes sparkling as she looked intently at Hua Yunfei.
Hua Yunfei had already considered this issue.
"Simple! I can swear on the Emperor Weapon in my hand that this operation will not harm the demon race."
Hua Yunfei said solemnly.
The weapons of ancient emperors were a continuation of their lives, and no one below the emperor could desecrate the imperial weapons.
If one swears an oath before the Imperial Weapon but then breaks that oath, one will surely incur the wrath of the Imperial Weapon.
Let alone Hua Yunfei now, even a Great Sage or Quasi-Emperor wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of an Imperial Weapon.
Yan Ruyu nodded, a smile blooming on her beautiful face, her whole being bathed in a dazzling rain of light.
"In that case, I am willing to join forces with you, but we still need to consult the opinions of the demon kings, since we will need their help."
She parted her red lips slightly and spoke softly.
"Of course, we can go with the princess to see the Peacock King and his entourage."
"You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll join forces with several demon kings to plot against you?"
Yan Ruyu stood there like a perfect work of art, smiling as she looked at Hua Yunfei.
Hua Yunfei smiled faintly upon hearing this, "I believe that a woman as perfect as Her Highness the Princess possesses a heart as pure and flawless as a lotus flower."
Yan Ruyu was taken aback upon hearing this. She looked at Hua Yunfei and, seeing that he was not joking, chuckled softly and once again became ethereal and otherworldly, incomparably holy.
