Chapter 863

Having said this, Leng Ruan changed his tone, looking at Zhao Xing with burning eyes and saying: "But little friend, why don't you show your true face? Why do you need to disguise yourself?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Xing's expression suddenly changed, and waves of emotion surged in his heart.

Zhao Xing never expected that with the multi-layered enhancement of the Thousand-Eye Glazed Glass, the Green Vine Empress, and his own spatial rules, an ordinary god-level entity would simply not be able to see through it.

But he never expected that Leng Ruan would see through his flaws at a glance.

However, Zhao Xing heard from Leng Ruan's tone that he didn't mean to blame him, but rather praised him. Plus, even if he wanted to escape, he definitely wouldn't be able to.

After all, the person in front of him was a peak True God-level powerhouse, and a True God of the Demon race with formidable combat power at that.

Once he got ruthless, no number of himself would be enough for this guy to kill. Moreover, even though Leng Ruan saw through his face, he didn't make any other unusual moves.

Watching Zhao Xing not speak, Leng Ruan smiled and said softly: "Should I call you Zhao Tian, the one who escaped from the North Sea Demon Island holding the Purple Light Token?"

"It seems the senior knows everything. Then I have no need to hide it; I am indeed that person."

Seeing him state his identity so directly, Zhao Xing knew that even arguing would be useless, so he could only generously admit his identity.

Then he eliminated all the illusions he had cast on himself to hide his true face.

"Interesting."

Leng Ruan looked deeply at Zhao Xing and then slowly said: "Young man, you have great courage, actually daring to break directly into the Demon race's territory, and even lying that you are a member of a reclusive family."

Zhao Xing spread his hands helplessly and said: "There's no other way. People in the world say I am the creator of this disaster,

and the whole world is hunting me down. After thinking it over, only here with you, senior, can I find a place to stay."

Leng Ruan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Then now that you are exposed, aren't you afraid that I will take you to the Sea Demon Island to exchange for a reward?

Tsk tsk, that's a True God-level Void Divine Shuttle, and even more, one billion energy stones."

It was very clear.

The fact that Leng Ruan could say this meant he wasn't thinking of truly turning Zhao Xing in, but had other ideas.

And Zhao Xing also understood that now, the only thing that could attract this peak True God powerhouse was the divine object, the Purple Light Token. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stated the bounty reward so directly.

This was clearly letting Zhao Xing bring out items of equal value to ensure his own safety.

And the Purple Light Token was exactly the item that could match the reward. So, after pondering for a few seconds, Zhao Xing said: "Then let me make a deal with True God Leng."

Leng Ruan looked at Zhao Xing with appreciation, knowing that the other party understood his meaning: "Talking to a smart person is truly refreshing. Let me hear your proposal."

"I can give up a spot to the Demon race, but the premise is that I need a safe environment."

"Agreed, but aren't you worried that I will take it by force?"

"To be honest with you, I store the token in my inner world, and I have also placed special restrictions on it. Once I lose consciousness or am forcibly controlled, the token will automatically shatter."

"Very well, I also greatly admire little friend's courage and character. Then it's settled."

Seeing True God Leng Ruan agree so readily, Zhao Xing thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, True God!"

No matter what, the hurdle of Leng Ruan had been passed, and he was safe for the time being.

And the reason Leng Ruan chose not to take it by force, but instead chose to negotiate with Zhao Xing, was because he had heard about Zhao Xing's deeds from Rong Shao before, and he felt that this child had extraordinary potential.

Moreover, he was someone framed by the entire human race. Under these circumstances, it was the easiest time to win the other party over.

Others saw him as a ticking time bomb because their strength wasn't enough, but in Leng Ruan's eyes, Zhao Xing was not only able to give the Demon race a chance to enter the Ghost Energy Secret Realm, but he was also a potential stock.

If cultivated, he would definitely be able to add another formidable warrior to the Demon race in the future.

Zhao Xing also understood the other party's meaning, but his strength was insufficient for now, so he could only agree for the time being.

Moreover, Zhao Xing now possessed three tokens. He intended to give one to himself, the second one to Yan Qi, and as for the third one, he really didn't have a good candidate, so giving it away was fine.

Give it to Zhuyue?

That was unnecessary. The World God would definitely return, and when that time came, he would let him decide his daughter's affairs.

Zhao Xing didn't intend to make decisions for the World God's daughter. If Zhuyue were to encounter any danger in the Ghost Energy Secret Realm, the consequences would be too severe.

And when the Ghost Energy Secret Realm truly opened, that would be the time for him to go home. When that time came, the sky would be high and the sea would be wide for the bird to fly; no one would be able to stop him.

The two had different thoughts, but they had achieved their respective goals, so both sides showed long-lost smiles.

After some conversation, Leng Ruan left because he had matters to attend to within the Demon race.

Before leaving, he told Zhao Xing to visit the Demon race when he had time, expressing that he was very welcome.

Zhao Xing naturally agreed with a smile.

But he remained unmoved in his heart. Although he had passed the hurdle of True God Leng Ruan, if others in the Demon race had other ideas, he would have another layer of trouble.

So he just listened to this sentence and didn't really want to visit.

After Leng Ruan left, Zhao Xing didn't return directly to the closed-door cultivation area, but walked out of the secret realm and had a conversation with Gong Jian.

The general content was Zhao Xing asking about Divine Lord Rong Shao's injuries. After all, compared to others, this Divine Lord Rong Shao currently seemed to be extremely good to him.

Even when a True God attacked, he didn't choose to hand him over, but chose to resist directly.

One must know that having such courage when facing a True God is truly something not everyone can do.

Fortunately, according to Gong Jian, the Demon race had already sent a Demoness to help him treat his injuries.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

And just at this moment.

Above the Heaven-Reaching Gang, which had already returned to calm, there suddenly came a rumbling sound of breaking through the air.

Then, a huge divine shuttle flashed out from the void!

At this time, the people of the Heaven-Reaching Gang were still rebuilding the destroyed wooden houses and were startled by this suddenly appearing divine shuttle.

Now that Leng Ruan had only left a few minutes ago, this divine shuttle appeared, causing everyone to look toward the sky with nervous expressions.

Zhao Xing was also startled by this sudden divine shuttle, but fortunately, the divine shuttle didn't make any extreme moves. After staying in place for a moment, it headed toward the depths of the Heaven-Reaching Forest.

After the divine shuttle moved away from the Heaven-Reaching Gang.

Lüqiu leaped down from the divine shuttle.

When he stayed at the Heaven-Reaching Gang just now, he wanted to observe whether there was any aura of Leng Ruan, but he noticed that the other party's aura had just stayed there.

So he simply accelerated away from the Heaven-Reaching Gang, then got off the divine shuttle, and then chased directly toward the depths.

On the way, he noticed that Leng Ruan's aura was already some distance away, so he directly accelerated his speed and chased forward.

His purpose in doing this was not to go directly to the Demon race territory; after all, he might be slaughtered even more severely here.

Outside, he still had room for a buffer.

The two were one fast and one slow. After the conversation with Zhao Xing, Divine Lord Leng Ruan's mood became much more comfortable.

He also didn't expect that just by meeting a youth, he would actually get a chance to enter the Ghost Energy Secret Realm; this was something he hadn't anticipated.

"True God Leng, please stay!"

Just as he was thinking.

He suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation similar to his own tracking him from ten thousand meters behind, and at this moment, it even made a sound.

Leng Ruan looked in the direction of the sound, only to see True God Lüqiu, whose skin was thicker than a city wall.

And looking at his appearance, he was chasing after him at full speed. This bizarre scene made him extremely confused.

But Leng Ruan was not panicked at all.

Not to mention that this was already near the Demon race territory, even in terms of strength, Leng Ruan did not fear him.

So True God Leng Ruan stopped his steps directly, stood on the spot, and waited for the other party.

As a True God-level powerhouse, a distance of ten thousand meters was just a single step for him.

The next second, space flickered, and Lüqiu's figure appeared in front of him.

Although he didn't know his purpose, thinking of this old guy's attitude earlier, Leng Ruan didn't intend to give him a good look.

So he sneered and said: "Old Lü has such elegance, are you trying to race with me?"

"True God Leng is joking."

Hearing this, Lüqiu smiled awkwardly, but thinking of the Fire Emperor whose life and death were still uncertain.

He gritted his teeth and said: "I came this time just to apologize for my attitude earlier.

We are all people of the same level, and I have long heard that True God Leng has a belly that can hold a boat; you definitely wouldn't hold this against me, right?"

Looking at his unusual expression and this attitude that was completely inconsistent with his usual self, Leng Ruan was taken aback.

If he didn't know better, he would have thought this old guy had been possessed; the contrast between before and after was simply too huge.

Leng Ruan looked at him with a strange expression and said: "Old Man Lü, cut the crap. Speak directly; I'm not used to you being like this."

"Ah... ha ha, this... it's like this."

Now that Lüqiu had already lowered his head, he simply went all the way, gathered his thoughts.

And directly said the rest of his words: "After you left, I thought about it again and again and still felt that our side indeed did something wrong, so I brought some small gifts to apologize!"
