Chapter 3068: Nether Profound Pavilion's Protector Tie Comes to Seize a Person; She Is Not Your Younger Sister
Even the Lord of Demon Blood City was momentarily stunned.
Although in a cruel place like the Hundred Refinements Realm.
Be it kinship, friendship, or love, they are all unreliable things.
But Zhong Hui's previous conduct qualified as that of an elder brother who looked after his younger sister.
But now...
However, the Lord of Demon Blood City did not dwell on it too much; if Zhong Hui was sensible, so much the better.
"Rest assured, that won't be a problem."
A smile curved Zhong Hui's face.
He then turned his gaze to the young girl beside him.
The young girl had also heard Zhong Hui's words.
But what was unexpected was.
That single revealed deep black pupil still held not the slightest ripple or expression.
Her whole person was like a wooden puppet devoid of emotion.
As if even her own elder brother speaking such excessive words.
Stirred no great emotional fluctuation in her.
Right at this moment.
Outside the hall, a figure entered.
It was a black-robed old man.
Seeing this, the Lord of Demon Blood City rose and cupped his fists slightly: "So it is Protector Tie."
After Jiuquan fell from his peak.
The Nether Profound Pavilion became a faction with very strong momentum.
There were even rumors that a mysterious power backed the Nether Profound Pavilion.
Precisely because of this, in the Hundred Refinements Realm, even the twelve Lords of the Sin Cities were unwilling to lightly offend the Nether Profound Pavilion.
And within the Nether Profound Pavilion, only experts at the Emperor Realm and above could hold the position of Protector.
"Lord of Demon Blood City is too polite; I have come today to collect a person — is it this one?"
From beneath his black robe, Protector Tie's sinister gaze swept over the young girl, also revealing a hint of surprise.
"Not bad, truly special."
Even though Protector Tie was an Emperor Realm expert, upon seeing this young girl.
For some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness.
As if he were gazing into an abyss.
But she was indeed worthy of the reputation the young girl had previously spread.
"The trade goods are inside."
Protector Tie tossed out a spatial dharma ring.
"Let's go."
He glanced at the young girl and said.
However, the young girl seemed to have not heard, standing rooted in place.
"Hm?"
Protector Tie frowned slightly.
The Lord of Demon Blood City's gaze also turned to Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui instantly felt cold sweat soaking his back.
Today, if the young girl did not comply, the unlucky one would not be her alone.
Zhong Hui himself would die without knowing how he died.
He hurriedly said: "Little sister, the Nether Profound Pavilion is a major power, larger than Demon Blood City; there you will have better prospects and development."
Yet the young girl remained silent, not uttering a word.
In fact, the young girl had never spoken a single word from the start.
"You..."
Seeing the young girl unmoved, Zhong Hui couldn't help but say: "I am your elder brother, do you not even listen to your brother's words!?"
As his words fell.
Suddenly.
An indifferent voice rang out.
"She is not your younger sister, why should she listen to you?"
This voice rang out extremely abruptly.
"Who?"
Even the Lord of Demon Blood City and Protector Tie were startled.
They had actually not detected the slightest trace.
At some unknown time.
At the hall entrance, two figures appeared, one male and one female.
One in white hair and dark robes, wearing a ghost mask.
One clad in a cheongsam, bewitching and captivating.
Both were shrouded in a hazy mist, making them impossible to scrutinize or see clearly.
"Imperial Realm..."
The Iron Guardian and the Lord of Blood City both had their expressions tighten.
These two figures who appeared out of nowhere were both Imperial Realm powerhouses.
Especially that woman in the cheongsam, her aura and pressure were even greater—she was a giant among Imperial Realm experts.
This is not someone you can just casually encounter.
Those with ill intent do not come; those with good intent do not arrive.
"I don't know which exalted beings you two are. If you've come to visit and trade, the City Lord naturally welcomes you."
The Blood City Lord, smooth and worldly-wise, would not easily offend such a mysterious existence.
Zi Yuan, although she is one of the Nine Princes of Nine Springs renowned abroad.
But because she controls the intelligence system,
she basically never appears in person to participate in actual combat.
The outside world knows there is a Purple Prince, but no one has ever known her true identity, let alone seen her.
Therefore, at this moment, the Blood City Lord and the Iron Guardian naturally cannot recognize her.
Jun Xiaoyao paid no heed to the Blood City Lord's words.
His gaze turned toward that girl.
Beneath the ghostly mask, a hint of a smile appeared.
Found her!
This girl, naturally, could not be the Black Prince, but she does have a close connection to the Black Prince.
Jun Xiaoyao already understood some of the key points in his heart.
"This girl, I want her." Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
It was not a tone of negotiation.
The Iron Guardian then suddenly let out a cold laugh: "So you've come to snatch someone."
The Blood City Lord, his eyes subtly shifting.
He could not afford to offend the Mysterious Profound Pavilion, and for these two mysterious powerhouses, he also had his reservations.
So he said nothing.
Upon hearing this, the Iron Guardian said coldly: "This girl, I have long since decided upon her."
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at him lightly: "Do you think my tone sounds like I'm negotiating?"
The Iron Guardian frowned: "Perhaps I should tell you, I come from the Mysterious Profound Pavilion?"
Hearing the name Mysterious Profound Pavilion, Zi Yuan's alluring face beside Jun Xiaoyao flashed with a hint of coldness.
The Mysterious Profound Pavilion and Nine Springs are not on good terms!
"No matter what power, it's useless." Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
The Iron Guardian then turned to look at the Blood City Lord: "Blood City Lord, you took the money, so you should do your part, right?"
The Blood City Lord wanted to stay out of it, impossible!
The Blood City Lord also did not expect that someone would suddenly jump out halfway like Cheng Yaojin.
And at this moment, Zhong Hui suddenly said: "Why would you say she is not my sister?"
Zhong Hui's gaze fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.
"Isn't that so?"
"Let me guess—you must have found her somewhere, and she lost her memory."
"You sensed her extraordinary nature, had ulterior motives, and thus deceived her into believing she was your relative, in order to profit from it."
Jun Xiaoyao's offhand remark.
Yet it left Zhong Hui stunned.
Really, it really is exactly that!
Is this masked person the Divine Calculation Element?
Zhong Hui, originally just an ordinary mercenary in the Blood Mercenary Corps, neither rising nor falling.
Once, after completing a mission, he accidentally discovered this girl sealed in a mysterious black crystal stone in a remote, desolate place.
And when he shattered the crystal, the girl revived.
The aura she emitted upon revival shocked even Zhong Hui.
It felt like an ancient ferocious beast from ten thousand years ago awakening.
After realizing the girl seemed to have no memory, Zhong Hui's heart suddenly stirred with an idea.
Thus came the subsequent events.
He outwardly claimed the girl was his long-lost relative.
Her appearance was originally quite ordinary, so no one paid attention.
And this girl, seemingly, did not question whether Zhong Hui's words were true or false, so she followed him to the Blood Mercenary Corps.
It was also thanks to the girl's abilities that he was able to rise step by step to become the leader of the Blood Mercenary Corps.
But how could all this possibly be known by a second person?
Actually, even if Jun Xiaoyao consulted the Heavenly Mechanism Fate Star, he could not possibly deduce this in such detail.
This is indeed what he guessed.
However, Jun Xiaoyao is well-versed in all kinds of tropes, so his guess is accurate to eight or nine out of ten.
