Chapter 489 - Brother Has Made Contact_The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Ye Anping followed Kong Huayuan to a private room on the third floor of the Red Rock Pavilion. The interior furnishings were slightly ostentatious, and there were several maids in pretty revealing clothes waiting in the corner.

 Kong Huayuan sat down and called the waitress to serve him wine while his eyes lingered on Feng Yu Die, who was standing behind Ye Anping and looking down at her toes.

 He smiled and said, "I apologize for what happened on the street before. That guy meant well but did something bad. You were walking on the street with an immortal cultivator, and they really thought you were an immortal cultivator who sneaked in."

 "The soul-binding cor on her neck is pretty conspicuous. The eyes of Master Kong''s subordinate should not be very good..."

 "Hehe… You''re right."

 Seeming indifferent, Kong Huayuan stared at Ye Anping for a while with narrowed his eyes. "May I ask what your name is?"

 Looking at his eyes, Ye Anping immediately understood that this was probably a test. The demonic aura he was emitting was from Gu Mingxin. Low-level cultivators might not be able to sense it, but Nascent Soul cultivators like Kong Huayuan could tell at a nce that he belonged to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

 Ye Anping answered calmly. "Liang Liu."

 "Hmm... a Nascent Soul cultivator with the surname Liang."

 Kong Huayuan pursed his lips and asked again, "May I ask which sect you are from?"

 "I am the Prison Hall Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

 Kong Huayuan''s eyes sank slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Shouldn''t the Elder of the Prison Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect be Zhou Huxing, Elder Zhou?"

 "Heh..." Ye Anping sneered and raised his head with disdain. "Master Kong, if you doubt my identity, you can just say it. When the Ghost Spirit Sect invaded the Eastern Wall cities, Elder Fu of the Heavenly Demon Sect Prison Hall died in the conspiracy of Young Miss Gu. I just took over the mantle of Senior Fu."

 As he said that, Ye Anping pinched Gu Mingxin''s left hand behind his waist again, making the demonic spirit around him thicker.

 After hearing what Ye Anping said, Kong Huayuan noticed that the murderous intention around him was much stronger. He stopped asking and cupped his hands to apologize. "Brother Liang, please calm down. In this situation, I have to be on guard. I heard that the immortals seem to want to take back Brilliance City, and the Young Miss of the Heavenly Demon Sect has rebelled... I am just being cautious."

 "..."

 With a calm expression, Ye Anping grabbed the mask on his face and took it off, then put it on the table.

 With just this move, Kong Huayuan''s vignce dropped considerably.

 After seeing Ye Anping''s face, he was slightly surprised. "Wow... Brother Liang, you''re handsome."

 "Indeed."

 Kong Huayuan was choked. After a while, he looked at Feng Yu Die beside him. "Then, may I ask Brother Liang, howe you, the Elder of the Prison Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect, appeared in the Central Region with an immortal cultivator?"

 "I just came back from the Southern Region and passed by here." Ye Anping calmly raised his right hand toward Feng Yu Die and was about to tell the reason he had prepared long ago.

 As a result, as soon as he raised his hand, Feng Yu Die suddenly stepped forward and put her chin on his palm.

 ?

 Ye Anping froze and asked her with his eyes: —What are you doing?

 Feng Yu Die replied weakly, also with her eyes: — Aren''t I pretending to be your ve?

 Ye Anping didn''t understand Feng Yu Die''s brain circuit, but he reacted quickly and yed along. He gently stroked her chin with his fingers twice, then grabbed her cor and pulled her off, letting her lie on hisp.

 Putting on a yboy smile, he stroked the back of her head like a pet, then faced Kong Huayuan across the table and continued, "I was ordered to go to the Southern Region to find Young Miss Gu''s hiding ce. When I passed by the Jade Girl Sect, I met this girl. Seeing that she had good qualifications and a pretty face, I simply brought her back."

 Kong Huayuan was not surprised to hear this. It was not a big deal for a demonic cultivator to keep one or two dual-cultivation human furnaces. He himself had seven or eight, cultivated since childhood.

 However, looking at Feng Yu Die, who was wearing a mask, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you willing to sell her?"

 "..."

 "I have always wanted a human furnace from the immortal family, but it is hard to find one." Kong Huayuan extended his hand. "Brother Liang, how about you name a price and sell me this girl?"

 Although Ye Anping had expected it and knew that it wasmon for demonic cultivators to buy and sell human furnaces, he was inexplicably angry when he heard this.

 He looked at Feng Yu Die lying on his thigh like a puppy and smiled. "I like this girl very much, I won''t sell her."

 "That''s fine, I won''t insist, hehe..."

 Kong Huayuan looked a little regretful, but he shrugged it off, and his tone changed. "Brother Liang, you said that you went to the Southern Region to capture Miss Gu..."

 "Gu Mingxin defected to the Southern Region after thest incident in Brilliant City. This is not a secret for the Ghost Spirit Sect, right?"

 "Indeed." Kong Huayuan thought for a while. "I went to the Heavenly Demon Sect and met her once. She has an intense bloody aura and was adopted by Patriarch Yu Yan since she was a child. I didn''t expect her to betray the Heavenly Demon Sect. What a pity..."

 "Who knows what kind of benefits the Immortal Family promised her? Haha... I have been ordered by Patriarch Yu Yan to bring her back to the Heavenly Demon Sect whether she is dead or alive."

 "Do you have any clues?"

 Ye Anping stared at Kong Huayuan, raising his eyebrows. "Of course."

 Kong Huayuan saw him raise his eyebrows and immediately understood his implication. He probably wanted him to help. Smiling, he said, "Brother Liang, what can I do for you?"

 "I was nning to look for the leader of Song Dragon Town, but I happened to meet you now..."

 "Well..."

 "Gu Mingxin wille to Brilliance City soon, and will most likely pass through Song Dragon Town, so I want to set up an ambush here to capture her. But Master Kong, since you have met her, you must know that she is not someone to be trifled with…"

 "Indeed, I saw her with my own eyes that year. With only her Foundation Building cultivation, she beat the third son of the Great Elder He of the Heavenly Demon Sect, making him kneel and beg for mercy in public… Now I''m afraid she is already ate Core Formation cultivator."

 "So, I would like to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you can lend me some disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect. If I could capture her here..."

 Kong Huayuan listened to this and thought for a while, his chin propped in his hand. "I can help, but can I ask my father about this matter?"

 Ye Anping smiled and nodded. "Elder Kong is now in charge of the Brilliance City, of course he should know about this matter."

 "Hehe..."

 Kong Huayuan raised his ss and toasted. "Brother Liang, let me toast to you."

 Ye Anping nced at the bloody wine in the ss in front of him and raised his ss in return. He and Kong Huayuan tilted their heads and drank it all, but before the wine went down his throat, he wrapped it with his spiritual energy and held it in the corner of his mouth.

 Outside the window, the waning moon crossed more than twenty degrees in the sky.

 After drinking wine together, Kong Huayuan seemed to no longer doubt Ye Anping''s identity. He rxedpletely and talked to him about almost everything. When it was almost dawn, he reluctantly bid farewell. "I will go back to Brilliance City now. Next time Ie, I will bring two beautiful girls for you, how about that?"

 "I won''t see you off." Ye Anping bowed and smiled, watching Kong Huayuan leave the room.

 The moment the door closed, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. He focused his mind, discreetly expanded his spiritual sense, and saw that Kong Huayuan had indeed left Red Rock Pavilion and flew away on his sword. Completely relieved, he went and locked the door, then took out a bucket and spewed out the wine he had just drunk from his mouth and throat.

 "..."

 Seeing this, Feng Yu Die, who had been standing by, ran over to pat his back.

 "Young Master Ye..."

 "Pah..." Ye Anping spat out the wine that he had wrapped in his spiritual energy before looking back at her. "Why did you put your chin on my hand just now?"

 "To look more like an obedient maid..."

 Speechless, Ye Anping sighed. "Remember thister, you are the human furnace captured by Liang Liu from the Jade Girl Sect in the Southern Region. If there are outsiders present, don''t say a word, just stand beside me with your head down, and! Don''t put your chin on my hand next time..."

 "Oh, hehe..." Feng Yu Die nodded, then nced at the door and asked, "By the way, what you said to that man just now... setting up an ambush?"

 "When Gu Mingxin arrives, we will kill him together. The one who is in charge of Brilliance City is Kong Xiangmo, the Great Elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect.After killing Kong Huayuan, I can use his identity to do some things."

 "Well..." Feng Yu Die thought for a while. "That''s like... a cuckoo taking over the magpie''s nest?"

 "Something like that."

 Ye Anping nced at Feng Yu Die, then stood up and took out a roasted chicken from the storage bag and put it on the table. "Here, take it and eat it."

 "Hehe... Thank you, Young Master Ye~"

 "Sigh..."

 Ye Anping casually threw her the roasted chicken and put his mask back on his face. Then, he went to the window and looked out.

 He took Gu Mingxin''s hand off his waist, spread her fingers, and wrote on her palm.

 —The n has changed. Come to Song Dragon Town.

 ...

 After a while, the sun rose.

 A sword with blood-colored radiance came from the south of Brilliance City andnded in front of a seven-story pavilion in the center of the city.

 Seeing the person on the flying sword, the disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect who were around the pavilion at this moment hurried over to salute. "Senior Brother Kong."

 Kong Huayuan nced at them, smiling, and asked, "No need to be polite. Is my father in the pavilion?"

 "Yes, Elder Kong is condensing energy inside."

 "No need to inform. I will go up by myself."

 "Uh... yes."

 Kong Huayuan waved his hand and opened his folding fan. He took a step,

 opened the wooden door of the pavilion, and walked up the stairs one by one.

 When he came to the inner door of the top floor, he knocked gently twice. "Father."

 Kong Xiangmo''s irritable voice came from the room. "...Come in!"

 Kong Huayuan opened the door and saw an old man in ck with a depressed look on his face, ring at him.

 Kong Xiangmo smelled the alcohol on his son and knew that he was fooling around again. His eyebrows trembled, and he pped the table, gritting his teeth.

 Pa—

 "You reek of alcohol, and you just fool around all day long!! I asked you toe here from the Eastern Region to train yourself. Think about what you have been doing for the past year!!"

 "Heh..." Kong Huayuan was not surprised. He smiled and bowed. "I only went to Song Dragon Town. The red houses and the wine there are much better than those in Brilliance City. I brought some wine for you..."

 Saying that, Kong Huayuan gave the wine in the storage bag to his father and smiled. "Father, I came here to discuss something with you."

 "Discuss? Are you short of spirit stones? Or are you short of human furnaces?!"

 Kong Xiangmo flicked his sleeves and knocked the wine pot on the table to the ground, but Kong Huayuan was not surprised at all, as if he had known it would turn out like this. He swept the debris on the ground with his spiritual power with a nonchnt expression.

 Seeing his carefree appearance, Kong Xiangmo gnashed his teeth in annoyance and asked angrily, "Why do you think Ghost Patriarch wants me, the Great Elder of Ghost Spirit Sect, to guard Brilliance City?"

 "Isn''t it because of your ability?"

 "Bullshit!" Kong Xiangmo shouted in anger. "At the beginning, I proposed to the Ghost Sect Young Master to take fifty Core Formation stage disciples to chase the Justice Division, but in the end, none of those fifty cultivators nor the Young Master came back!! When Ghost Patriarch heard the news, he almost killed me!! Fortunately, Gu Mingxin took the me for me, otherwise..."

 Kong Xiangmo stepped forward and poked his son in the chest. "You brat, be more careful!"

 "Okay, okay..." Kong Huayuan shrugged slightly and smiled. "Father, I want to borrow some disciples from the Ghost Spirit Sect."

 "What for?"

 "To set an ambush to capture Gu Mingxin."

 "Gu Mingxin..."

 Kong Xiangmo was stunned when he heard the name. "How to capture her? Do you know where she is?"

 "I have reliable information. She wille to Brilliance City in the next few days."

 It was already known to everyone in the demonic cultivators sects that the Young Miss of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Gu Mingxin, betrayed Yu Yan.

 When Gu Mingxin escaped, Yu Yan was so angry that he turned several sect Elders into blood pills and also ordered that if the demonic cultivators of the six sects saw her, they should bring her back to the Heavenly Demon Sect dead or alive.

 Unfortunately, until now, no one from the six demonic cultivators sects had found Gu Mingxin.

 Kong Xiangmo was silent for a while, then asked, "Is the information reliable? Where did you get it from?"

 "I met the Heavenly Demon Sect Prison Hall Elder in the Song Dragon Town before. He drank a few sses of wine with me and told me about this."

 "The Elder of the Prison Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect? Didn''t Fu Yuanhua die at the hands of the Demon King?"

 "It''s the new one, named Liang Liu."

 "Liang Liu… what is his cultivation level?"

 "I didn''t use my spiritual sense to check, but he is at least in the early stage of the Nascent Soul."

 Kong Xiangmo stroked his beard and thought for a while.

 However, no matter how he recalled it, he could not remember this name.

 He was the Great Elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and he had heard of some Nascent Soul cultivators among the demonic cultivators, but this Liang Liu...

 "Nascent Soul? Liang Liu? The Heavenly Demon Sect... is there such a person?"

 Kong Huayuan looked at his father''s face, smiling. "I have tested it before, and his demonic spirit is indeed the kind of spirit of the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators. Maybe he has just formed a Nascent Soul not long ago. Besides, it''s normal that you don''t know about the Heavenly Demon Sect Prison Hall..."

 "...Where is the ambush?"

 "Song Dragon Town."

 "Hmm..."

 Kong Xiangmo held his beard and thought for a while.

 If his son were to be deceived, then it would be a good lesson for him. Anyway, the worst-case scenario was that he would get nothing in return, and there would be no loss.

 However, if this news were true, his son would help to capture Gu Mingxin and send her to the Heavenly Demon Sect, which would please the Prison Hall Elder.

 Thest time, when Gu Mingxin ran away, Yu Yan was so angry that he killed several Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect...

 Kong Xiangmo felt that there was nothing wrong with agreeing, so he said, "Go find Elder Chen and ask her to apany you."

 "...Then, father, give me the sect token."

 "Just go directly, why do you want the sect token?! Get out!!"

 "Heh… yes, yes."

 Kong Huayuan shrugged and then bowed casually. "Then, I will take my leave~ Father, you are busy… hehe..."

 After he left, Kong Xiangmo recalled his son''s words from the beginning, stroked his beard, and walked to the window, looking east.

 "Liang Liu… the Elder of Heavenly Demon Sect Prison Hall..."

 After muttering to himself, Kong Xiangmo shouted angrily. "Someone,e!!"

 Two disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect walked in immediately, knelt on one knee, and cupped their hands.

 Kong Xiangmo turned his back to the two of them. "Send a letter to the Heavenly Demon Sect and ask about the identity of their current Prison Hall Elder..."

 "Yes, sir!"
