Chapter 1612: All right, then

His butt hadn't even gotten warm when a golden light from a transmission talisman sank into Ye Zhangqing's brow.

After receiving the message in the transmission talisman, Ye Zhangqing frowned slightly.

The content of the transmission talisman was very simple, just a distress message.

The one who sent this transmission talisman was no one else but the old ghost and his gang who had left a while ago.

Originally, the old ghost and his group were following Ye Zhangqing's orders to get spirit pepper powder, but as soon as they arrived in that world, the other side discovered them.

Then, without a word, they were detained.

The old ghost had already said it was needed by Haotu Shijie and that he was willing to pay, but the other side wouldn't listen at all.

With no other option, the old ghost finally sent a message to Ye Zhangqing asking for help.

Now they have no way to escape, they're being held, and they have no options at all.

In response, Ye Zhangqing helplessly shook his head, saying that wasn't what he had said before.

Wasn't it supposed to be a piece of cake? How did they get detained as soon as they went?

Just as Ye Zhangqing was thinking about this, Luo Jiuyou swaggered in.

After they fought that once, their relationship had grown much closer.

Luo Jiuyou would often come to find Ye Zhangqing to chat and drink, and even mooch a meal on the side.

Ye Zhangqing didn't mind that, and moreover, Luo Jiuyou was interesting.

"Zhangqing, let's go, want to take a stroll around Dao Yi Holy City? Xu Jie said a batch of new courtesans has recently come from the outside world."

As soon as he entered, he spoke loudly, not caring at all.

This guy hadn't been at Dao Yi Shengdi long, but Xu Jie had already brought him into the scene, letting him fully enjoy the pleasures of Gōulán.

Moreover, with Haotu Shijie making contact with Zhu Tian Wan Jie, the many courtesans in the Gōulán of Dao Yi Holy City are now being updated and iterated very quickly.

The surrounding worlds have spread the word, saying that the cultivators of Haotu Shijie not only enjoy this line of work, but are also generous with their spending, and definitely make big money coming here.

So, the several powerful Gōulán in Dao Yi Holy City have all started actively contacting the surrounding worlds.

They regularly bring in new courtesans from there, then send the original Haotu Shijie courtesans to their worlds.

Going back and forth like this also keeps the customers feeling fresh, right?

Have to say, this tactic is indeed good; haven't Xu Jie and his group's visits to Dao Yi Holy City increased lately?

And every time they come back, they're utterly reluctant to leave.

Luo Jiuyou was also brought into the scene, so to speak, this person—learning good is hard, learning bad takes just a minute.

Taking a look at the enthusiastic Luo Jiuyou, Ye Zhangqing shook his head and said.

"You guys go, I have something to do."

"What's wrong with you? Who provoked you? We'll take care of them."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's brow slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind, Luo Jiuyou plopped down onto the chair beside him, poured himself a cup of spirit liquor, and said viciously.

Although Luo Jiuyou is the young master of the Nether Clan, looking across all of Zhu Tian Wan Jie, there really aren't many who can match him.

But who knows who this guy learned from; he's just full of the vibe of the streets and the martial world.

This is also one reason Ye Zhangqing likes him; compared to those who are always putting on airs, Ye Zhangqing still prefers Luo Jiuyou's style—at least getting along isn't tiring.

So, in response to Luo Jiuyou's question, Ye Zhangqing also explained the whole spirit pepper powder affair.

After hearing that, Luo Jiuyou asked doubtfully.

"Ash Phosphorus Realm, I've been to this world before—not long ago, it's not far from Haotu Shijie, its strength is mediocre; logically, it shouldn't dare to offend your Haotu Shijie."

The Ash Phosphorus Realm is just an ordinary world; its strength is weak, with only a single Emperor Sovereign-powerhouse holding down the fort.

That strength is fundamentally incomparable to Haotu Shijie.

Moreover, the distance between the two isn't great to begin with; lately Haotu Shijie has caused such a huge commotion, even the demon clan's demon emperor has slain more than ten of them—Ash Phosphorus Realm surely must have heard about it.

Luo Jiuyou wondered, where did they get the gall?

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing shook his head.

"I don't know either; it's strange, but I heard it was done by some guy called Xue Luoxing."

The old ghost's transmission mentioned this person in passing, but he had only heard of him by chance and never actually met him.

All that's known is that now the Ash Phosphorus Realm seems to be taking orders from this person.

It was just an offhand remark, but upon hearing it, Luo Jiuyou immediately shouted.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Xue Luoxing, what's up, do you know him?"

"I know him, how I know him—I've long wanted to kill him."

Huh???

Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing became interested; given Luo Jiuyou's status, the people he knows are definitely not ordinary.

What's more, he's always wanted to kill him.

More importantly, Luo Jiuyou wants to kill someone, yet that person hasn't died—this shows the other side's identity isn't simple either.

Looking at Luo Jiuyou, Ye Zhangqing asked curiously.

"Who is this guy?"

"Hehe, he's an old acquaintance of yours too, the young master of the demon clan."

"Demon clan young master?"

"Yeah, this guy is the biological son of the demon clan's demon ancestor, said to have been personally sealed by the demon ancestor for over a thousand years and never emerged."

"They say he's like us, a top prodigy of the younger generation, but if you go by his birth date, he's an old fossil—though his bone age and such still count as part of the younger generation."

"Anyway, I've always found this guy displeasing and wanted to kill him, but this bastard's strength isn't weak either—I haven't gotten any advantage from him."

After giving a simple rundown of Xue Luoxing's identity, hearing that, Ye Zhangqing also became interested.

The demon clan's young master appearing in the Grey Phosphor Realm—is that a coincidence? It probably isn't.

The Grey Phosphor Realm is not far from Haotu Shijie; for someone with the identity of Xue Luoxing to appear in the Grey Phosphor Realm, there must be other reasons behind it.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing fall into thought, Luo Jiuyou suddenly brightened and said.

"Changqing, this is a great opportunity; we two brothers joining forces will definitely kill this bastard."

"Moreover, since you want Spirit Pepper Powder, why not just take over the Grey Phosphor Realm?"

"By then, would we still be lacking Spirit Pepper Powder?"

"Take it over?"

"Yeah, just take it over as a subordinate world."

Luo Jiuyou said as a matter of course.

Haotu Shijie has only just come into contact with the Zhu Tian Wan Jie; many things haven't had a chance to unfold yet.

So upon hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing still had some doubts; taking over a world was something nobody had considered before.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's doubtful expression, Luo Jiuyou grinned.

"This is quite normal in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie; with your Haotu Shijie's future strength, you will surely dominate a nearby star region."

"Anyway, we'll eventually have to take over subordinate worlds; we might as well act now. Moreover, that bastard Xue Luoxing dares to come to the Grey Phosphor Realm—such a good opportunity, shouldn't we two brothers take care of him?"

Whenever the matter of dealing with Xue Luoxing comes up, Luo Jiuyou becomes extremely excited, as if he can't wait to rush to the Grey Phosphor Realm and kill him right away.
