Chapter 2455: Kunpeng Has a Terrible, Stubborn Temper!
On the other side, Yunzhongzi did not yet know he was about to miss the whereabouts of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree; he was now with Kunpeng near Huoyun Cave, desperately gathering Hongmeng Purple Qi.
"Is this enough?" Yunzhongzi asked, somewhat sheepish.
Kunpeng shook his head. "This is far from enough, but I've decided to give up on it."
"Why?"
"Because you saved me."
Kunpeng was a man who repaid kindness; previously, he had allied with the Demon Clan as their Demon Master, hoping one day the Demon Emperor would save his life and protect him.
But when the attempt to kill Hongyun at Huoyun Cave failed, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun threw him under the bus—Kunpeng was furious.
No matter how much Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun pleaded, he would never again offer strategy to the Demon Clan.
But this time, Yunzhongzi risked his life to protect him, even freeing him from the grip of demonic deviation, sparing him from falling into darkness and becoming hunted by all in Honghuang.
Thinking of this, Kunpeng felt deep gratitude toward Yunzhongzi; whatever Yunzhongzi asked of him, he felt he could do.
Besides, Yunzhongzi's only desire was to obtain the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree; if he obtained it, Kunpeng would be freed—and that would be his repayment.
Yunzhongzi sighed. "Kunpeng, I saved you not to demand repayment. I simply acted on instinct—I've known you long enough; we're friends."
"If we're friends, then I'll lend you a hand."
No matter what Yunzhongzi said, Kunpeng refused to agree—he was determined to find the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.
Yunzhongzi shook his head and sighed.
Kunpeng said, "I know a place where we can find out where the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree is. If you come with me, I'll fulfill your wish."
"Really?"
"Really!"
After speaking, Kunpeng immediately placed all the Hongmeng Purple Qi he had gathered into a bottle—this bottle had already held many such essences before.
Now, collecting this faint trace of Hongmeng Purple Qi was merely to preserve what little remained.
Yunzhongzi immediately agreed to Kunpeng's proposal.
"Brother, if you help me find the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, I'll retrieve Hongmeng Purple Qi for you from Hongyun afterward—I swear I won't let you down!"
"I'm repaying you—you don't need to seek Hongmeng Purple Qi for me."
After Kunpeng finished speaking, he grabbed Yun Zhongzi by the sleeve and rose into the clouds together with him, for he knew that only one person knew where the Great Emperor of Longevity was.
Luofu was the person Kunpeng had mentioned, but it was troubling that he could not get close to Luofu, so he could only approach the Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe, who had come down from the ancient battlefield.
Anyone might not know the location of the Great Emperor of Longevity, but the Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe would surely know it.
Kunpeng possessed this sense, and it was by relying on it that he had avoided many dangers and gained many chances to make his escape.
"Are we going to get it now?" Yun Zhongzi asked curiously.
"We're going to find the Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe; he knows where the Great Emperor of Longevity is."
"Going to find the Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe at a time like this—aren't you afraid he'll seize us and drag us into his faction? The Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe is extremely powerful; don't do anything foolish…"
Hearing Kunpeng's words, Yun Zhongzi immediately flung his sleeves and strode out, for he did not want to go to the Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe.
