Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 343

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. This demon was hidden in the Netherworld Blood Sea, and it already had some connection to me. I'm merely capturing it and handing it over to Your Majesty. How can I possibly accept your thanks?" Styx was currently working under Hongchen, so he naturally knew which faction he belonged to.

Looking at the tea beside him, Styx knew exactly what was going on.

He had never befriended Hongyun or Zhenyuanzi before. Firstly, because both of them were reclusive and rarely left Wuzhuang Temple, and secondly, because he lived in the Netherworld Blood Sea and was full of malevolent energy, which made him disliked by the powerful beings of the prehistoric world.

This is the first time I've ever received such treatment!

To be treated with such courtesy by a sage fills me with a sense of accomplishment!

Hongyun suddenly spoke up: "Now, all that's missing is the Six-Winged Golden Cicada!"

Zhen Yuanzi immediately chimed in to comfort him, "Although the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's cultivation level isn't high, it can tear through space and escape extremely quickly. Since neither you nor I can act now, and Kong Xuan is injured, the other disciples might not be able to capture him. We can't rush things!"

Styx instantly perked up: "You two sages, you still want to capture the Six-Winged Golden Cicada?"

Hongyun was secretly pleased, but her face still showed worry: "Yes, I originally intended to capture the five rare insects to refine an array. Once successful, I would have a major trump card, but this six-winged golden cicada is slippery."

"It's a pity that Kong Xuan, a quasi-saint, was tricked by the Chan Sect. Although he is now out of danger, we are still worried about him going out."

Now that I think about it, both of my most skilled disciples at Wuzhuang Temple are recuperating from their injuries, leaving us with no one available for the time being!

"I never imagined that the Chan Sect would commit such atrocities. Back then..." Styx stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

The sage is one with Heaven; when his name is spoken, it is felt even from a thousand miles away. There are some things that Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi can say, but he cannot.

However, it's laughable that the once arrogant and self-proclaimed direct descendant of Pangu, Yuanshi, has now become like this!

He then said, "If the two sages do not mind, I am willing to capture the six-winged golden cicada for you."

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi exchanged a glance: "This..."

"Now that the great calamity has begun, fellow Daoist, you must take care of yourself!" Zhen Yuanzi advised.

Styx smiled, not taking the Great Tribulation seriously: "You two saints need not worry. I have already left a part of my primordial spirit to cultivate in the Netherworld Blood Sea. As long as the Netherworld Blood Sea does not dry up, even if I die a million times, I will still be reborn."

Styx's method of saving his life is indeed something to be proud of. No wonder he dared to take on the task of Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi even though he knew that the great calamity had begun.

Hongyun immediately smiled and said, "Then thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

"Your Excellency need not be so polite, I will be right back." After saying this, Styx transformed into a wisp of black smoke and quickly drifted away.

Hongyun suppressed a laugh and looked at Zhen Yuanzi: "I didn't realize the Styx was so clever!"

Zhen Yuanzi was amused by Hongyun. It was one thing to make someone do the work, but to praise them like that was really inappropriate.

Actually, it's not that Styx is stupid, but that their identities are different now.

Even a roughneck like Styx could be so polite, simply because of their different social statuses.

If they were both quasi-saints, it's uncertain whether Styx would even give them a friendly look. Even if he did help, he would definitely impose some conditions.

Now, getting something done and getting a good deal is something Styx desperately wants, so he has to seize the opportunity.

Zhen Yuanzi sighed, "But Styx is indeed very clever. He left his primordial spirit in the Netherworld Blood Sea to cultivate. No wonder he was able to remain unscathed during several great calamities when he had enemies everywhere."
