"Am I already caught in a death trap?"

Upon hearing Feichen Sword Monarch's words, Ji Haoyuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Do these people all enjoy speaking in this manner?

Although he felt dismissive in his heart, on the surface, he didn't immediately say anything, but rather patiently waited for Feichen Sword Monarch's further explanation.

He believed that since the other side specifically invited him over, it was certainly not just to "scare" him with such words.

Indeed.

Seeing that Ji Haoyuan did not rush to make any indication, Feichen Sword Monarch nodded silently in his heart.

Finally, he no longer beat around the bush and directly said:

"Nanhua Dao You, are you aware that the current Feixing Palace and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect actually have intentions to ally with the Demon Race?"

"Hmm...?"

Upon suddenly hearing these words, Ji Haoyuan was truly a bit surprised.

But surprised as he was, he wouldn't be naive enough to take the other party's words at face value.

Not to mention that such actions wouldn't benefit them much.

Just considering the aspect of living under someone else's roof, how could the Divinity Transformation Patriarchs of both families agree?

It's important to know that reaching Divinity Transformation cultivation means standing at the pinnacle of the Southern Wilderness Realm.

Who would be willing to be subordinate?

Especially to an alien race.

Are they not worried at all that this might be a delay tactic from the other side or a trap to lure the enemy?

"Hehe, there's a piece of information that Nanhua Dao You might not be fully aware of."

As if seeing through Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Feichen Sword Monarch faintly smiled and continued:

"The lifespan of those two masters from Feixing Palace and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect is actually not much left."

This sentence immediately caused Ji Haoyuan's pupils to slightly contract.

This information was indeed not something he was particularly clear about.

After all, their Demonstration Sect had only recently become a fifth-tier sect.

The most important thing is that they had never interacted with those two masters from Feixing Palace and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect.

Thus, it's naturally impossible to understand the situation of those two masters.

But Wuji Hall is different.

As an established Divinity Transformation sect in the Southern Wilderness Realm, they are certainly more knowledgeable about the situations of Feixing Palace and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect.

Including their understanding of those two masters.

However, nevertheless, Ji Haoyuan considered it somewhat reckless for the two sects to choose to ally with the Demon Race just because of this reason.

"If I were to tell you that the Demon Race possesses treasures capable of extending the lifespan of Divinity Transformation masters, would Nanhua Dao You think that the two masters from Feixing Palace and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect might be tempted?"

Feichen Sword Monarch dropped another bombshell.

He continued, "I'm sure Nanhua Dao You still remembers that ancient ruin that appeared in their demon territory years ago, right?

As far as I know, that ancient ruin contains not only numerous treasures useful to the Demon Race.

But also many life-extending Spiritual Objects.

Among them are objects capable of extending the lifespan of Divinity Transformation masters and fifth-tier Demon Emperors."

If this is true, then the situation is indeed quite worrying.

No one understands better than Ji Haoyuan what kind of madness cultivators would resort to when facing the end of their lifespan.

Just like Fire Cloud True Man of the past, just like True Monarch Bihai later.

If it were the two Divinity Transformation masters now...

If they do go mad, the extent of their madness might far exceed what Ji Haoyuan and others could imagine.

After all, the lifespan of a Divinity Transformation master is five thousand years.

In such a long time span, if one cannot see through the barriers of life and death, to survive, principles, bottom lines, righteousness, and positions...

These various things might all be easily discarded.

At that time, what actions they might take would be unpredictable by anyone.

That is, assuming everything Feichen Sword Monarch said is true.

"Nanhua Dao You, I know that given our current interactions, you may not be able to fully trust what I say."

Feichen Sword Monarch was evidently self-aware.

Then he continued, "But to verify what I've said, whether it's true or not, is actually quite easy. At that time, you and I only need to team up and capture either Black Robe Demon Monarch or Liu Daoxuan, and through interrogation, we can roughly figure out the truth.

And if my guess is correct, tonight would be an excellent opportunity."

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan didn't speak but instead scrutinized Feichen Sword Monarch with a probing gaze.

Feichen Sword Monarch smiled and met Ji Haoyuan's gaze directly.

Just as Li Changhe and Liang Ruyu, who were beside them, were showing faint displeasure at Ji Haoyuan's actions, Ji Haoyuan finally spoke.

"Why?

Or rather, what do you want?"

Obviously, Ji Haoyuan was well aware that nothing happens without reason in this world.

Feichen Sword Monarch's apparent goodwill, even openly stating his intention to help him.

There must be a purpose or demand from the other side involved.

And understanding this purpose or demand was the first thing Ji Haoyuan needed to figure out.

Feichen Sword Monarch understood Ji Haoyuan's meaning as well, and upon hearing this, he pondered slightly.

After a moment, he finally spoke:

"I hope that after this matter, Nanhua Dao You, you can help me hunt down the Red Flood Dragon King."

"Hunt down the Red Flood Dragon King?"

Ji Haoyuan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

He was very much aware that the Red Flood Dragon King mentioned by Feichen Sword Monarch was a true Peak Demon King of the fourth tier.

Its strength was probably three points stronger than the Blood Prison Demon Monarch who fell that day.

Most importantly, this Demon King was also the greatest enemy of their current Four Symbols Pass.

Feichen Sword Monarch wanted to hunt such a Demon King, what exactly was he planning?

Perhaps knowing the doubts in Ji Haoyuan's heart, after hesitating for a while, Feichen Sword Monarch finally made a decision and said to Ji Haoyuan:

"Nanhua Dao You, to be truthful, hunting the Red Flood Dragon King is actually key for me to compete for the next Hall Master of Wuji Hall."

"Senior Brother Feichen..."

Li Changhe and Liang Ruyu, who stood to the side, both showed slight changes in their expressions.

However, at this time, Feichen Sword Monarch waved his hand.

"It's alright. Since we are cooperating, I naturally can't hide too much."

With that, he explained the related matters to Ji Haoyuan.

It turned out.

The most crucial condition to become the next Hall Master of Wuji Hall was to have sufficient sect contributions.

And given the current war between the Human and Demon races.

The fastest and most effective way to gain sect contributions was naturally by slaying Demon Kings of the same realm.

Among these Demon Kings, the contributions from a Peak Demon King like the Red Flood Dragon King are undoubtedly the greatest.

As long as one can kill such a creature, they would gain a huge advantage in the competition for the next Hall Master position.

As for why they were so concerned about competing for the position of the next Hall Master of Wuji Hall, even to the point of mutual competition, the main reason is that Infinite Seal.
