Chapter 2423: Kun Peng Falls to Darkness!

"Hong Yun has now gone with the Wu clan to the place where the Three Pure Ones reside—do you still think you have a chance?"

"Kun Peng, listen to me: if Hong Yun truly gains Master Yuanshi's favor, you will never be able to topple him or avenge your shame—you'll only be a coward!"

Yun Zhongzi's words reached Kun Peng in fragments; his eyes, bloodshot, stared ahead.

Huoyun Cave was always Hong Yun's dwelling; after Kun Peng's previous assassination attempt, it had become scarred and filthy.

After Hong Yun left, Huoyun Cave was utterly abandoned—Kun Peng came here to reclaim his confidence.

He had seen Di Jun's golden crow have one wing severed by Luo Fu; he had seen the Dong Huang Chaos Bell, wielded by Dong Huang Taiyi, snapped outright by Luo Fu.

Even he himself had been severely wounded by Luo Fu, forced to recuperate for a long time before he could escape the demonic clans.

As the demonic clans' strategist, Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun would never let him go—where could he turn now?

Kun Peng thought long and hard, yet still found no solution; he came to Huoyun Cave first to gather Hongmeng Purple Qi, hoping to use it against Hong Yun.

Alas, he had been far too naive!
