Chapter 1048 Winning over
"I finally survived this disaster."

As the last twelve demons were eliminated by everyone, the darkness outside finally dissipated slowly. Shi Fengjie laughed bitterly, touched the Blue-Eyed Fire Phoenix beside him whose feathers were mostly bald, and murmured.

"Yu'er, thanks to you this time. I'm a little regretful. If I had known it would be so dangerous, I would have..."

He sighed and looked around. After this battle, some were dead and some were injured. There were less than two dozen people left, and everyone was injured. Even a small piece of Li Ming's Taoist robe was torn off.

Luo Tianyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shi, I've suffered heavy losses this time. Forget it, I don't want the things you promised me anymore. My life is related to the lives of my entire palace. If anything goes wrong, how can these women survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak without my protection? I'm leaving now."

The Saint shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. After entering here, if you want to leave..."

Having said that, she paused, shook her head, and didn't say much, but her meaning was self-evident.

Luo Tianyi seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly looked at the portal she had come through before, but it was empty now. How could she have any way to retreat?

Her expression changed immediately, her eyes widened as she stared at Shi Fengjie and said, "What did you say to me back then?"

"Fairy Luo, please calm down. Alas, things have come to this point and it is beyond our control. Instead of this, it is better for us to work together. At worst, I can give you more." When he said this, Shi Fengjie's lips moved, and it was unknown what he promised again.

Luo Tianyi, who was already furious, actually calmed down visibly, and even had a look of surprise on his face, and then said nothing more.

The rest of the people rested for a while. The four assistants beside the Saint, Master Hu and 'Uncle Qing' were treated by her with all her heart and finally woke up, but the other two had already died. Master Hu's cultivation was low, and now he was injured, and his combat power was even less. As for 'Uncle Qing', his injuries were extremely serious. The fact that he survived was attributed to the superb healing killing skills passed down from the Saint's lineage, which helped him to hold on for a while.

The reason why he was able to survive in the formation just now was because of his special identity and the other two guards' desperate protection. But now, after being treated by the Saint herself, he still looked half-dead, which made the Saint a little embarrassed. At this time, she looked up at Li Ming who was standing next to Gu Song, and her thoughts changed, and she transmitted the message.

"Master Li, although the demon has been defeated, the crisis is not over yet. The people from the Nalandra Temple sneaked into the secret realm before, and their intentions were great. There might be other sects involved. Now that the secret realm is isolated from both inside and outside, we can only gather together for warmth."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and said in the same voice transmission: "Saint Lady, what you said makes sense, but I may not be the one who needs warmth more right now."

Upon hearing this, the saint was not angry. She even knew that the matter was almost done, and immediately smiled.

"Master Li, I don't know where Shi Fengyang found a master like you. It's his blessing, but I dare say that no matter what conditions he puts forward, I can meet them. In addition, I can promise that as long as you can protect me, no matter the outcome, I will double his conditions. If I can get what I want, no matter what you want, I will do my best to help you achieve it!" Li Ming closed his eyes slightly, chuckled, and then said, "The Saint is indeed courageous. Although Luo Tianyi is not the Palace Master of Lily Palace, she is just a figurehead. I think you are the true woman who is as good as a man. However, I don't have such courage. My vitality is damaged. If the Saint has a fire treasure among the five elements of essence, it may be able to restore my vitality and relieve my worries!"

The saint smiled even more broadly. She was not afraid of Li Ming making any conditions. On the contrary, she was afraid that Li Ming would not make any conditions. This was exactly what she wanted. As long as he had something to ask for, it would be easy!

She thought for a moment, then took out a round beetle. Li Ming recognized this insect. It was called Zangxu Gu, and its effect was equivalent to a storage tool like the Qiankun Bag. The storage space varied in size depending on the number of turns. The way to divide it was by looking at the patterns on the back of the beetle. This one had four circles of patterns on its back, which meant it was a four-turn Zangxu Gu, which was considered a top-grade product.

The saint handed over the poisonous insect, and Li Ming did not hesitate. The convenience of the poison art lies here. The refined poisonous insect is somewhat similar to a magic weapon. Anyone can use it, but it can only exert its most powerful power in the hands of a poison practitioner. It's a pity that feeding the poisonous insect is very troublesome, otherwise the poison practitioner might spread it even more widely.

Li Ming used his magic power to refine the Gu, and naturally he could observe what was hidden in the belly of the Gu. He was immediately surprised. He knew that the saint lady was of a different status and would definitely be generous. However, this Cangxu Gu not only contained the fire spiritual objects that Li Ming needed, but also many supplies and spiritual materials needed by cultivators. It was probably comparable to most of the wealth of an ordinary Yuanying Zhenren.

"Your Excellency the Saint is truly generous. However, I have one more favor to ask of you."

Li Ming did not say this in secret. After all, the saint's action of handing over the things could not be hidden from others. It was just that others did not know what conditions the saint had offered.

Now that the deal was almost done, Li Ming was also a little interested in expressing his opinion, so the Saint Girl nodded and said, "Master, please speak freely."

Li Mingcai slowly spoke, "I have another junior fellow disciple whose companion has been poisoned by the Scorpio Gu. City Lord Shi promised that if I could help him, he would ask the Saint Lady to remove the poison from my companion's wife. Now that Her Excellency the Saint Lady is here, I will not hesitate to seek help from someone near by. I only hope that Her Excellency the Saint Lady will agree to this matter. Within the secret realm, my two junior brothers will naturally do our utmost to protect the three of you!"

Hearing Li Ming's request, the Saint Girl felt relieved and said quickly, "This isn't difficult. Although Master hasn't been involved in the secular world for many years, I'm confident I can get her to help. It's just a mere Scorpio Gu poison. My Master does have a way!"

Hearing this, Li Ming and Gu Song looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then bowed to the saint, which meant they had completely turned to her.

The others saw the situation clearly, but did not act rashly. They just discussed their next actions separately. At this moment, the square was blank, and the fruit tree that had caused the fight before had disappeared. The only remaining target was the palace behind the square.
