I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 879 466: With That Intelligence, How Did You Even Escape Alive?

"So you mean to say that Emperor Xuan intends to explore the wonders of the Three Strange Books to break through to God Demon, and you're daring enough to assassinate Emperor Xuan by offering the 'Xuantian Treasure Record'? Where'd you get the courage!" Qing Feng's expression was shocked.

When preparing to run away with a few possessions, that fox directly laid the cards on the table, explaining the whole story.

Qing Feng and Ming Yue were left dumbfounded, wondering why the fox suddenly stopped pretending.

"No, I really have the 'Xuantian Treasure Record.'" The fox said.

The fox claimed to be Hu Sanniang, and to prevent Emperor Xuan's breakthrough into God Demon from affecting the Demon Race, she chose to assassinate him. It was due to a series of lucky coincidences that she managed to find the 'Xuantian Treasure Record' after her assassination failed.

"If you are willing to escort me back to the Demon Domain, I can help you cultivate the 'Xuantian Treasure Record.'" Hu Sanniang promised grandly, believing that no human cultivator could resist such temptation.

"Let's talk about whether this Treasure Record is worthwhile later, but what's your cultivation level?" Qing Feng was skeptical about the authenticity of the fox's words.

"Of course, I'm a great demon. Oh, in your terms, it would be a Grandmaster Realm." Hu Sanniang raised her head somewhat proudly.

The Demon Race is divided into five realms. The first three grades are small demons, and the middle three grades are great demons, so there is a considerable difference between small demons and great demons.

Above them is the Demon King, Demon Emperor, and Demon Emperor, corresponding to the Five Qi Chaoyuan, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and Unity of Heaven and Man.

The final God Demon is a shared realm.

"You, a Grandmaster Realm little fox spirit, went to assassinate Emperor Xuan? He's a genuine peak Unity of Heaven and Man, just one step away from becoming a God Demon. How did you manage to get into the Imperial Palace, swear at him, and then attempt assassination, and still escape from Emperor Xuan's grasp unscathed?"

"Come on, even stories need to have some plausibility, don't they?"

Qing Feng didn't know how strong Emperor Xuan in the Unity of Heaven and Man realm was, but he was sure of one thing—there was no way a middle-grade demon could withstand the aura of a Heavenly Person, let alone reprimand him, shout and narrate a journey before attempting assassination. Yet, the fox genuinely hurt Emperor Xuan.

This sounded like a fairy tale.

Hu Sanniang's fox face stiffened involuntarily. Upon closer thought, it really seemed that way. Yet, she truly managed to do it.

"I... I... I'm telling the truth." Hu Sanniang's voice immediately lowered.

"Alright, let's skip this issue for now. You said you want us to escort you to the Demon Domain and help us cultivate the 'Xuantian Treasure Record', right? So why don't we just kill you, making the 'Xuantian Treasure Record' ours without taking any risks?" Qing Feng said disdainfully.

"Kill me? With just you two?" Hu Sanniang was taken aback initially, then looked at Qing Feng as if he were a fool: "I'm a great demon, even severely injured, I'm not someone ordinary people like you who aren't even cultivators can handle."

"What's more, even if you kill me, you wouldn't understand the 'Xuantian Treasure Record.' This strange book is known to be profound, written in ancient script, only preserved in giant houses and renowned families. It's just by chance I found it. Otherwise, even if it's given to you, you couldn't cultivate it."

Hu Sanniang was confident, feeling she had the strategy to manipulate Qing Feng and Ming Yue.

"We haven't cultivated?" Ming Yue found a key point and asked with a peculiar expression.

They were both at the peak of Gang Sha, just a step away from entering the Postnatal Realm, yet this fox demon said they hadn't cultivated, which was a significant issue.

"Is there a problem?" Hu Sanniang was somewhat bewildered. She wasn't blind; she could see the situation at a glance. Furthermore, didn't they have any self-awareness about whether they had cultivated?

The two exchanged glances. The Longevity Scripture's miraculousness made them somewhat astonished.

How could they have not cultivated, given their bodies were filled with abundant True Qi and possessed strong physiques, albeit usually more reserved?

"Then what about our master, what's his situation?" Ming Yue asked another question.

"Just an ordinary person, what did he teach you? Cultivation?" Hu Sanniang nearly laughed out loud, viewing Qing Feng and Ming Yue as having encountered a swindler, and a swindler who didn't know anything about cultivation at that.

Upon hearing this, Qing Feng smiled: "Haha, you're right, but you should find someone else to escort you to the Demon Domain, we're not available."

From this situation, the two understood that Gu Shanhai certainly wouldn't be interested in the so-called 'Xuantian Treasure Record.' Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago and seized it himself.

"What?" Hu Sanniang was incredulous; this development was beyond her expectations: "This is one of the Three Strange Books, the 'Xuantian Treasure Record,' capable of helping you embark on cultivation to become a cultivator. Even if your aptitude is poor, you could become a top-grade Unity of Heaven and Man realm warrior."

Hu Sanniang feared she hadn't been clear, so she emphasized again, stating how precious the 'Xuantian Treasure Record' was.

"No matter how good the item, you need to have the life to take it. Not to mention countless difficulties and dangers en route to escort you to the Demon Domain, we aren't even cultivators, how could we reach there."

"Furthermore, even if we managed to escort you into the Demon Domain, how would you help us find translations for ancient texts, and how would the Demon Race ever impart this strange book to us Humans."

"Even if they did impart it, there would be conditions, like aligning with the Demon Race or imposing restrictions to serve them for life."
