Chapter 687 Princess Yaoguang's methods have ruined things!!

After glancing at Li Shaofeng, Luo Cheng looked away and began to savor the fruit and pastries on the table.

The fruits and pastries were exquisite, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth after each bite. In addition, Luo Cheng had not had a proper meal in a long time, so he was immediately tempted.

At that moment, Princess Yaoguang's voice rang out in the courtyard.

"Everyone here comes from neighboring countries and is a talented individual. We have gathered here in Yunquan City today, presumably for the Blood Demon, or more precisely, for the Blood Fiend Crystal."

Although Princess Yaoguang was a woman, her speech carried a hint of domineering, directly pointing out everyone's thoughts.

The crowd did not understand the meaning of these words and all looked at Princess Yaoguang.

Princess Yaoguang glanced at everyone and then said:
"The emergence of the Blood Demon is no small matter. If it gains power, it will become a great calamity, causing widespread suffering. Therefore, I hope that everyone can work together, share resources, and do their utmost to vanquish the demon."

"Hehe, with the Blood Demon emerging, everyone has the right to kill it. That's the rule. If everyone works together, there's naturally no problem in killing the demon."

Xue Peng, being straightforward, chuckled and directly asked the question everyone was most concerned about:
"However, after slaying the Blood Demon, what should be done with the Blood Fiend Crystal?"

"Since ancient times, treasures have always belonged to the capable, and the Blood Fiend Crystal is no exception. After slaying the Blood Demon, whoever obtains the Blood Fiend Crystal will have to rely on their own abilities."

Princess Yaoguang's eyes sparkled, her beauty was unparalleled, and her smile was captivating. At this point, she chuckled softly, her voice as melodious as heavenly music, and said:
"However, Yao Guang has a request. To be honest, I have reached a critical step in breaking through to the next realm and urgently need Blood Fiend Crystals to break through to the True Person Dao. If any of you have obtained Blood Fiend Crystals, I hope you can transfer them to me. Of course, I will not take them for free; I will buy them at the normal market price. And from now on, you will be my friend, Yao Guang."

Princess Yaoguang had a clear, melodious voice, and her silver pupils were like water, as if veiled in mist, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

"Hehe, Princess Yaoguang is too kind. Since you need it, how could we possibly take what belongs to someone else?"

"Indeed, if I obtain the Blood Fiend Crystal, I will offer it to you with both hands..."

As soon as Princess Yaoguang finished speaking, the two young men immediately agreed with beaming smiles.

The others smiled without saying a word, but there was some disdain in their eyes.

Luo Cheng also shook his head inwardly.

Blood Fiend Crystals are extremely rare and hard to come by. They are the key for Heavenly-level experts to advance to higher levels, and are simply a coveted item for powerful experts!

Giving up such a treasure is tantamount to handing over the opportunity to become stronger to someone else!

All for a woman, and a simple "we can be friends!"

That's absolutely incredibly stupid!

"Then Yaoguang thanks you both, young masters."

Princess Yaoguang nodded gracefully to the two of them, smiling sweetly, then her gaze suddenly shifted to the pavilion where Luo Cheng was, and she said:
“Jin Tiandu, you are a prince of the Great Yue Dynasty. With the intelligence network of your Great Yue Dynasty royal family, you must already have clues about the whereabouts of this Blood Demon. Could you tell us about it? This way, we can find the Blood Demon as soon as possible and kill it. Otherwise, once it transforms and becomes a menace, it will be too late to recover.”

"What a cunning Princess Yaoguang! Her methods are truly remarkable!"

Luo Cheng gazed at Princess Yaoguang, his heart filled with awe.

Princess Yaoguang's previous righteous words, which encouraged everyone to unite in the fight against the demon, made him believe that she was a person who hated evil, was of one heart with the people, and was beautiful and kind-hearted!
Little did they know that it was all premeditated, a scheme to make Jin Tian reveal the whereabouts of the Blood Demon!
If Jin Tiandu doesn't speak up, then he's disregarding the greater good and failing to grasp the bigger picture.

This subtle yet powerful method of controlling the overall situation earned Luo Cheng's admiration.

Sure enough, everyone present turned their gaze toward Jin Tiandu.

Faced with this situation, Jin Tian remained calm and composed. Eliminating the Blood Demon as soon as possible would be a good thing for the Great Yue Dynasty. He had never intended to conceal the information, otherwise he wouldn't have informed Xue Peng.

With a faint smile, Jin Tiandu followed Princess Yaoguang's words and said:
“Princess Yaoguang is right. We should indeed work together to kill the Blood Demon as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.”

"I do have some information about the Blood Demon. It was besieged by three True Immortals that day and fled south until it disappeared in this area. It was severely weakened and shouldn't have gone far. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be hiding within this thousand-mile radius..."

Jin Tiandu is introducing himself.

"Hey, it's you, kid!"

Suddenly.

A gasp of surprise rang out.

It was Li Shaofeng sitting next to Princess Yaoguang!
Upon seeing Luo Cheng, he showed a surprised expression and excitedly stood up from his seat.

Jin Tiandu's expression changed drastically; something bad had happened!
Luo Cheng remained calm, looking directly at Li Shaofeng, and said, "That's right, it's me."

Sensing the gunpowder smell in the air, everyone was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but look at Luo Cheng. Seeing that he was only at the late stage of the ninth level of the Awakening Pulse Realm, they were immediately taken aback, and then looked at Li Shaofeng.

Princess Yaoguang asked, "Junior Brother Li, who is this person?"

Li Shaofeng stared at Luo Cheng with sharp eyes, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "This guy is called Luo Cheng, a disciple of the Xuan Yuan Sect of the Great Yue Dynasty! Junior Brother Liu Yifeng suffered a loss at his hands before!! I wanted to teach him a lesson back then, but I was stopped by someone."

"Oh?"

"How dare you attack our Extreme Dao Sect disciples!"

The other two disciples of the Extreme Dao Sect both looked at Luo Cheng with hostile gazes.

The Extreme Dao Sect is now the number one sect in the Great Chu Dynasty. As disciples of the Extreme Dao Sect, they look down on the disciples of the three major sects of the Great Yue Dynasty!

In their eyes, it was extremely disgraceful and unacceptable for a fellow disciple to suffer a loss at the hands of a Xuan Yuan Sect disciple!
Little did the two know that Liu Yifeng had not only suffered a loss, but had also been defeated by Luo Cheng, who was of a much higher level, and was utterly defeated!

Princess Yaoguang glanced at Luo Cheng and said calmly, "Luo Cheng? I don't recall inviting him."

Upon hearing this, Li Shaofeng sneered, "I wonder how he managed to sneak in. Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll make him get out of here right now!"

As he spoke, Li Shaofeng stepped out of the pavilion, his eyes fixed on Luo Cheng. He released a fierce sword aura, causing a gust of wind to surge throughout the courtyard.

Seeing the situation was turning sour, Jin Tiandu quickly stood up to smooth things over, laughing, "Li Shaofeng, Princess Yaoguang, this is a misunderstanding. Luo Cheng is my friend; I insisted on bringing him here..."

"Jin Tiandu, it's not that I don't respect you."

Li Shaofeng snorted coldly and glanced at Luo Cheng, saying, "Senior Sister organized this gathering to discuss how to defeat the Blood Demon, not a tea party where just anyone can come in! Do you really expect a piece of trash who has awakened a useless martial soul to defeat the Blood Demon?"

Jin Tiandu frowned slightly, his face displeased. He had already stated that Luo Cheng was his friend, yet Li Shaofeng still belittled Luo Cheng like this. Where did this leave him?
Ha ha!

Before Jin Tiandu could speak, a cold laugh suddenly rang out.

Luo Chang stood up and looked directly at Li Shaofeng. "I'm just some nobody, I have no right to attend this gathering. Do you think you do?"

All eyes turned to him, greatly surprised. They hadn't expected Luo Cheng to be so assertive, daring to confront Li Shaofeng!
