Chapter 743: Planning With the Tiger

Although Jiang Yun recognized the old man’s identity, he didn’t forget the danger he had just faced from a narrow escape.

So, at this moment, his eyes revealed a strong sense of killing intent without hiding.

Even Jiang Yun quietly gripped the Soul-Locking Incense in his hand.

If the Fusang Tree monster and Guluo couldn’t explain satisfactorily their attempted attack on him earlier, Jiang Yun wouldn’t let go of the grudge easily.

Guluo glanced at the old man and said to Jiang Yun, "Sorry, we are still missing one person!"

"I’m here!"

As Guluo finished speaking, a gentle voice spoke up instantly, and in the room appeared a middle-aged beautiful woman in a white dress.

With her arrival, a delightful fragrance filled the small room.

Smelling the fragrance and looking at the three people in front of him, Jiang Yun’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

"Three demon races, one is a bamboo demon, one is a Fusang Tree demon, and one should be a flower demon."

"I didn’t expect that within the rare vegetation of the seven layers of Dao Prison, there would be three demons transformed from plants, occupying this Peach Blossom City, how interesting!"

At this moment, Guluo cleared his throat gently and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let me introduce you first."

Guluo pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "This is Taoist Friend Gu Jiang, and also a Demon Refiner!"

When the words Demon Refiner were uttered, the old man still showed no reaction, but the middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up instantly.

After examining Jiang Yun up and down, the beautiful woman nodded and smiled, saying, "I’m Xiang Hongchen, nice to meet you, Taoist Friend Gu!"

Compared to the old man, Xiang Hongchen’s attitude is much better, and Jiang Yun politely greeted, "Gu Jiang, nice to meet Taoist Friend Xiang."

Guluo continued, "Taoist Friend Xiang is the Palace Master of the Infinity Palace."

In Peach Blossom City, there are three major powers: the Infinity Palace, Yunlu Sect, and Guluo Sect.

Guluo then pointed to the old man and said, "He is Fusangzi, the sect master of Yunlu Sect!"

Indeed, this old man is the Fusang Tree monster.

Jiang Yun is also familiar with Yunlu Sect because the Liu family was able to establish themselves on the outskirts of Peach Blossom City due to the close relationship between Liu Siyuan and a senior member of Yunlu Sect.

Even the Fusang Leaves obtained by Liu Peng were gifts from this senior member.

Despite Guluo’s introduction of Fusangzi, Fusangzi continued to drink his tea without paying any attention to Jiang Yun.

"As for this person…"

Guluo looked at Firebird and said, "I believe you must be Lord Fire God!"

Firebird suddenly shouted at Fusangzi, "Fusangzi, give me some of those leaves on you! It won’t hurt you. Why are you being so stingy? I can trade my feathers with you if you want!"

"Hmph!"

Firebird’s words finally got a reaction from Fusangzi.

With a heavy slam, Fusangzi put down his tea cup on the table, looked up with a face full of anger, and shouted at Firebird, "If you hadn’t been stealing so many leaves from the Fusang Tree all these years, I would have broken through the Sky Blessed Realm long ago!"

"If I hadn’t spared you with just a slap, you should be grateful. Yet you have the nerve to ask me for leaves now!"

After being scolded by Fusangzi, Firebird shrank back and landed on Jiang Yun’s shoulder again, too scared to speak.

"And furthermore!"

Suddenly, Fusangzi pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "Even though Guluo trusts you, if you are with this greedy fellow, you can’t be a good person either!"

Guluo put on a sad smile and explained to Jiang Yun, "To practice Fusangzi’s technique, we need seeds from the Fusang Tree, which can only be found inside the fireball spewed out by the sun. But the fire god…"

Guluo couldn’t continue speaking at this point, but Jiang Yun finally understood!

No wonder Firebird was so afraid of Fusangzi. It turns out that it had stolen the Fusang Tree seeds crucial for Fusangzi’s practice, preventing Fusangzi from breaking through to the Sky Blessed Realm.

For a cultivator, this is indeed a deep grudge.

Being together with Firebird has caused Fusangzi to see Jiang Yun as an accomplice, leading to resentment.

"Actually, Fusangzi’s earlier gesture had no ill intent. Firstly, it was to test the taoist friend’s strength, and secondly, to teach a lesson to the fire god!"

While Guluo’s explanation helped Jiang Yun understand the reason for Fusangzi’s behavior, Jiang Yun did not believe that the gesture was just a test.

Nonetheless, Jiang Yun decided not to bring it up for now and said to Guluo, "Master Gu, let’s put aside other matters for now. You showed me respect earlier, so there must be something you want to discuss with me."

"Now that everyone is here, please go ahead and speak your mind!"

Guluo smiled gently and said, "Taoist Friend Gu is being too serious. It’s not about me giving Taoist Friend face, but rather Taoist Friend’s own incredible strength."

"If you and I truly fought to the death, it’s still unknown who would win and who would lose!"

Though this was just Guluo’s polite words, he actually didn’t know that what he said was true!

If Jiang Yun truly ignites the Soul-Locking Incense and uses various methods, even if he can’t kill him, maybe he could still hurt him.

"Don’t be polite to each other here!"

Fusangzi looked coldly at Jiang Yun and said, "Guluo, we just saw your fight with him. Can you be sure that his Demon Refining Technique can really help us?"

"You need to know where we are going! If anything goes wrong, we could all perish!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun roughly understood that these three people needed a Demon Refiner to accompany them.

Although Jiang Yun didn’t know where that place was, seeing how cautious all three Sky Blessed Realm cultivators were, it’s easy to guess that it must be extremely dangerous.

Guluo opened his hands and said, "To be honest, I’m not sure either, because the Taoist Friend Gu’s spell just now seemed to still have some room for improvement, and did not unleash its full power."

"Besides, even if we find another Demon Refiner aside from Taoist Friend Gu, who else could it be!"

Jiang Yun did not speak, although he did leave some leeway in his seal just now, in order to let Guluo know that he could perform the Demon Refining Technique.

Therefore, both the weakening of Guluo’s strength and the duration of the spell were being shortened.

However, even if Jiang Yun really exerted all his effort in performing the Demon Refining Technique, without the cooperation of the Soul-Locking Incense, he still wouldn’t be a match for Guluo.

Of course, Jiang Yun couldn’t reveal this fact.

After Guluo finished speaking, he already bowed to both Guluo and Xiang Hongchen and said, "I take my leave!"

After saying this, Jiang Yun unexpectedly turned around and walked away, leaving all three of them slightly stunned.

Guluo hurriedly said, "Taoist Friend Gu, don’t you want to know where we are going?"

Jiang Yun didn’t even look back and said, "I don’t want to!"

Jiang Yun really didn’t want to know.

Although he wasn’t afraid of these three people, he didn’t want to go on a pointless adventure with them.

Even though they needed his Demon Refiner identity, who knows if after Dao Yi had served his purpose, the three of them would try to kill him?

He barely knew anything about these three people, and only relying on the slight kindness shown by Guluo was not enough for him to risk his life impulsively.

Working with them was like making a deal with a tiger!

He even suspected that if he knew where they were going but still refused to join, they might silence him immediately.

Watching Jiang Yun who had reached the door, Fusangzi suddenly shouted, "Do you think you can just come and go from this place as you please?"
