Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 574 Sincerity
The candlelight flickered, and in the magnificent house, the incense burner exuded a faint sandalwood scent.

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps broke the silence here, and Chen Yun knocked on the door quietly.

"Come in!"

A voice came from inside the house. Chen Yun pushed open the door and walked into the house carrying Qin Mengying, who was still struggling.

"Master, Qin Mengying has been brought here."

"You go down."

"Yes!"

Chen Yun left the room and closed the door before leaving.

With the creaking sound of the heavy door, the house fell into silence again.

Qin Mengying widened her beautiful eyes and looked ahead nervously.

There, a figure was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by a faint blood-red mist.

The air was filled with demonic energy, and as the candlelight flickered, the shadows were stretched out very long, and the mottled shadows on the wall were twisting wildly, as if some kind of demon that chose its prey was about to emerge from the world. An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped the entire room.

"What do you want?"

Qin Mengying looked at Su Jie who was practicing with a vigilant look. With that kind of aura, not to mention that her spiritual power was locked up, even if she was in full victory, she would not be a match for him.

So when she came here, Qin Mengying almost accepted her fate. She couldn't resist by relying on her strength, and could only pray that Su Jie didn't really want her body.

Su Jie slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the mat, and walked towards Qin Mengying step by step.

Every time Su Jie took a step forward, Qin Mengying took a step back, until they retreated to the corner of the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

"You, don't come over."

Qin Mengying curled up her body, looking at Su Jie who was approaching her. She no longer had the pride of an immortal seedling, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Look how scared you are. Am I that scary?"

Su Jie waved his hand gently, and Qin Mengying's body suddenly became uncontrollable and flew in front of Su Jie.

"you"

Qin Mengying was speechless. You have killed so many righteous people and become a shadow for so many righteous practitioners. Don’t you have any idea about your own image?

Of course, Qin Mengying didn't dare say this out loud, for fear of angering Su Jie.

"I am the Immortal Seed of the Fire Cloud Palace. If you want money, just tell me the amount. We in the Fire Cloud Palace will definitely not be stingy."

Qin Mengying brought out her own backers, hoping to bribe Su Jie with money.

"Haha, I'm not looking for you for money this time."

Su Jie lifted Qin Mengying's fair chin, stared at her beautiful face, and smiled.

"You, Demon Su, you will not die well. Even if you get my body, you can't get my heart."

Qin Mengying suddenly despaired, her pretty face turned pale, thinking that her chastity was about to be lost.

"Husband, how long are you going to play?"

Suddenly, a voice floated from behind Su Jie. Han Ruyan turned around from the dressing table. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and her tone was cold.

Su Jie coughed twice and restrained his smile: "Forget it, you are too easy to be teased."

As he spoke, Su Jie released his control over Qin Mengying.

The suspended Qin Mengying landed again, and then Qin Mengying was seen shrinking to one side like a frightened kitten with its fur standing on end.

At the same time, Qin Mengying cast a grateful look at Han Ruyan. Listening to the conversation between Su Jie and Han Ruyan made her realize that her chastity seemed safe.

"Now let's get down to business."

Su Jie pulled over a chair, crossed his legs, and said to Qin Mengying, "I asked you to come here alone this time because I have something to tell you. You are the immortal seedling of Huoyun Palace, which means that your status in Huoyun Palace is not low, and you should be able to meet the sect master directly. I can let you go, but you have to help me pass on a message."

Seeing Su Jie's serious face, Qin Mengying was distracted for a moment before she realized that Su Jie's purpose was not to have her sleep with him, but for another purpose.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want me to say, I will definitely tell you."

After coming to her senses, Qin Mengying agreed without saying a word. Now, as long as she could get away from Su Jie, she was willing to convey any message.

"It's very simple. I, Su Jie, want to cooperate with your Huoyun Palace. Strategic cooperation."

Su Jie blurted out his real purpose, causing Qin Mengying to open her mouth slightly.

"Cooperation? You are a demon cultivator."

Qin Mengying almost thought she had heard it wrong and replied subconsciously.

She originally thought that Su Jie was going to get something from Huoyun Palace, but she heard the word "cooperation".

A demon giant from Qingzhou wanted to cooperate with the Huoyun Temple, the leader of the righteous sect in Qingzhou. This made Qin Mengying's brain short-circuit slightly.

Seeing Qin Mengying's surprised expression, Su Jie said calmly: "Who said that the evil and the righteous can't cooperate? In this world, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as the interests are great enough, the righteous and the evil will naturally join forces."

Qin Mengying opened her mouth. She instinctively wanted to refute because this was very different from her past understanding, but Su Jie's words made her not know where to refute.

In Qin Mengying's silence, Su Jie's voice continued to be heard, like the devil's temptation.

"As far as I know, eighty years ago, a huge war broke out between your Fire Cloud Hall and the Tide Watching Pavilion. Nine Daotai Realm warriors died in the battle. At that time, the leader of your Fire Cloud Hall, the Purple Mansion Realm master, died at the hands of the leader of the Tide Watching Pavilion."

Su Jie talked about history. The Huoyun Palace was the leader of the righteous path in Qingzhou, while the Guanchao Pavilion was the leader of the righteous path in Qingzhou. The former was good at controlling fire, while the latter was good at controlling water, so there was originally some friction between them.

At that time, Guanchao Pavilion was extremely powerful. Not only did it have a sect leader in the Purple Mansion Realm, but it also had a large number of elders. They suppressed all disobedience in Qingzhou and were at their peak in Qingzhou. Naturally, they had a need to expand and wanted to obtain more resource sites, spiritual veins, talented disciples, and so on.

Of course, the strength of the Fire Cloud Palace was equally strong. It was the dominant sect in Qingzhou. At that time, the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance was far from being able to compete with the Fire Cloud Palace.

Normally, there would be friction between the two sects, but there would not be a tragic war. However, an accident happened, and a casual cultivator accidentally discovered a cave left by an ancient great man on the border between Qingzhou and Qingzhou, which became the fuse for the war between Huoyun Palace and Guanchao Pavilion.

In order to fight for this cave, the two sides fought for three years. Countless monks died and corpses were everywhere. Not to mention the elders of the Secret Treasure Realm, even nine elders of the Daotai Realm died one after another.

The Purple Mansion Realm Sect Master of Huoyun Palace died in battle, and the Purple Mansion Realm Sect Master of Guanchao Pavilion suffered indelible injuries and was said to have died long ago.

In the end, the Guanchao Pavilion was slightly victorious, and the cave residence later fell into the hands of the Guanchao Pavilion, which has always been a source of resentment for the Huoyun Palace.

The relationship between the two sects has been hostile ever since the war.

Guanchao Pavilion declined because of this battle, which also gave Guiling Palace a chance to catch its breath and develop slowly.

The Wanjian League also took advantage of the situation to rise in Qingzhou, occupying many spiritual material production sites of the Huoyun Palace and becoming the second most powerful sect in Qingzhou.

After hearing what Su Jie said, Qin Mengying was of course very clear about this history.

After all, what happened eighty years ago is just an ordinary life for mortals, but for cultivators, their lifespan is much longer than that of mortals. There are still many elders in the Fire Cloud Hall who have experienced that brutal battle.

"In addition, I remember that the relationship between your Fire Cloud Hall and the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance was not good. Am I right?"

Su Jie continued, when Qin Mengying mentioned the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, her expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Hmph, Wanjian League, we fought a great battle with Guanchao Pavilion. If Wanjian League hadn't taken advantage of the situation and stabbed us in the back, our Huoyun Hall might not have lost the war."

Qin Mengying said fiercely that the role played by the Wanjian League at that time was indeed disgraceful. They secretly joined forces with the Guanchao Pavilion to stab the Huoyun Palace, causing the Huoyun Palace to fail in the battle. They took the opportunity to seize many spiritual material production sites belonging to the Huoyun Palace, including several important spirit stone mines, and thus developed into the second largest sect in Qingzhou, catching up with the Huoyun Palace in strength.

As an immortal seedling of the Fire Cloud Palace, Qin Mengying has a very high sense of identity with the Fire Cloud Palace, almost treating it as her own home. Although she has not experienced the battlefield in the past, it does not prevent her from empathizing and being filled with righteous indignation.

"Now the Tide-Watching Pavilion and I are in a hostile relationship, and the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance happens to be my enemy as well. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is the natural basis for our cooperation."

Su Jie finally revealed his true purpose, which was to unite with the Fire Cloud Palace to cause trouble together.

Su Jie knew very well that relying on his current strength, it was basically impossible for him to confront the Qingzhou overlord like Guanchao Pavilion head-on. Even if Guanchao Pavilion did not have a powerful Purple Mansion Realm master now, it was not something that he could overthrow with his cultivation level of the second level of Daotai Realm.

At this time, the power from the outside world is your own help.

So what if it's the righteous path? Su Jie doesn't care about colluding with the righteous path.

As long as the goal can be achieved and profits can be made, the disputes between camps can be put aside.

For Su Jie, he loves war very much. If he destroys a righteous sect, the profits he will earn are huge.

Think about the Zixia Sect. They provided Su Jie with tens of millions of spirit stones in just one battle. It would take many years to accumulate that much through honest management.

In addition, Su Jie will sooner or later take over Guiling Palace and take charge of this evil sect, while Guanchao Pavilion, as the leader of the righteous sect in Qingzhou, is a huge threat.

Su Jie would be happy to see that the power of Guanchao Pavilion could be weakened, not to mention that he could also make a profit.

"This and this"

Qin Mengying had a conflicted look on her face. She saw that Su Jie's eyes were full of ambition.

"You can't make the decision. Just pass the message to your clan leader. I will meet with your clan leader at the agreed time and place."

Su Jie turned around, opened the window, looked down from above, pointed outside the window and said, "This is our sincerity."

Qin Mengying looked in the direction of the voice and her pupils suddenly dilated.

I saw a lush forest under the flying magic boat.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a hidden spiritual material mine shrouded in mist. The outer stone walls here are engraved with dense runes, flashing with faint light.

There were low-level monks walking around. They wore conical hats, held tools in their hands, sweated profusely, and the sounds of chiseling rocks could be heard one after another.

From time to time, pieces of spiritual ore were carefully mined out, emitting a faint golden halo. They were of different sizes, and when the wind blew occasionally, the tiny stone chips flew in the wind, refracting the sun's light, as if burning golden flames.

In another part of the mine, there are piles of mined ore, waiting to be transported to the outside world for use by practitioners in refining equipment.

There are disciples patrolling and guarding everywhere in the mine. They are wearing the uniforms of Guanchao Pavilion, and the flags of Guanchao Pavilion can be seen everywhere.

This mining area is a spiritual material mining site of Guanchao Pavilion. There is a kind of spiritual material called Riyan Stone in the mountains, which can be used to refine magical instruments and can effectively enhance the fire power of the magical instruments.

However, this long-time peaceful and tranquil mining area is now engulfed in war.

The attacking array of the Xiao Qian Flying Boat fell continuously. Under the glow of the array, a large number of Guanchao Pavilion monks were blown to pieces of skin and bones by the strong wind, ignited into firemen by the heavenly fire, and turned into human-shaped charcoal by lightning. The mine was covered with scorched earth everywhere.

On the Dharma Boat, thousands of Guiling Palace disciples, riding on the Thousand-Armed Centipedes, led by several elders from the Secret Treasure Realm, rushed into the mine excitedly and wildly.

The highest-ranking combatant among the Guanchao Pavilion stationed at the Riyan Stone Mine is only an elder from the Secret Treasure Realm.

"Oh no, it's the demon Su."

Seeing the appearance of the Xiaoqian Flying Boat, the face of the elder from the Secret Treasure Realm of Guanchao Pavilion changed drastically, and he immediately chose to fly away on his sword, ignoring the disciples who were calling for help, and he had no intention of resisting or fending off the enemy at all.

However, his escape was no match for the Thousand-Armed Centipede's purple light rays. He flew a few miles before being pierced by the purple light rays. He was shot into a hornet's nest, and only a human head fell down, which was picked up by the Thousand-Armed Centipede and sent to Su Jie.

Other Guiling Palace monks also rushed into the Riyan Stone Mine in large numbers, killed the disciples of Guanchao Pavilion, robbed the resources of the mine, and moved everything that could be moved and transported it to the Flying Boat.

The entire mine was filled with smoke, the excited howls of the demon cultivators, and the screams of the disciples of the Guanchao Pavilion. The smell of death and blood lingered for a long time.

Qin Mengying was breathing rapidly. Although she was a righteous immortal, she had never experienced such a brutal and ruthless war, which was purely for killing and looting.

"This is my sincerity, Su Jie. When you return to the sect, just tell the truth about everything you saw."

Su Jie chuckled and handed the head of the Guanchao Pavilion elder to Qin Mengying.

Qin Mengying took the head with a blank expression, her face complicated and incomprehensible, and she had a better understanding of Su Jie's character.

This was a giant of the evil ways who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. While chatting and laughing, he destroyed a spiritual material mining site and killed hundreds of monks, just to show his sincerity.

The cruelty of his methods made Qin Mengying feel a little frightened. It was hard for her to say that she approved of Su Jie's approach, but she was tactful and did not say anything more because she could not make the decision. Only the leader of Huoyun Palace could decide whether to cooperate with Su Jie on important matters of the sect.

Qin Mengying didn't know that compared to the Tianyuan World, the number of people on Blue Star who died indirectly at the hands of Su Jie was countless times that of the Tianyuan World. Her level of knowledge was still too low.
