This ti, with the invasion of the Wild Sea demons into East Wu, the two people are considered central figures.
Because they are very familiar with the various places in East Wu, and even Hong He is well acquainted with the Eastern Wilderness.
According to Du ngyun’s plan, after taking over East Wu, they would imdiately move into the Eastern Wilderness. At that ti, regardless of whether Hong He truly joins the Demon Path, he would be of great use.
"Junior Brother, I rember before you joined the master’s sect, you were part of the Five Elents Sect?"
Du ngyun, disguising as Sun Huangling, asked Hong He.
"Yes, but my cultivation of demonic techniques was discovered, so I defected."
Hong He did not shy away from this point, as even a loose practitioner or rogue cultivator has their origins. His identity was special. When he t Du ngyun in Yun ng Ze, he was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, indicating he hailed from a major sect.
In this region of the East Continent, due to the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, anyone cultivating demonic techniques would be regarded as one of their own by the Demon Path.
Moreover, since leaving the Five Elents Sect, Hong He did his utmost to accomplish every instruction given by Du ngyun, making him an effective helper.
If Du ngyun was at her pri, she might not pay much attention to Hong He, who was just a Golden Core cultivator.
But now, things are different.
After she died, she needed to hide herself and couldn’t expose the relationship between Sun Huangling and Du ngyun. In that regard, Hong He, who knows about this, becos very critical.
Additionally, among those she can use now, Hong He has the highest cultivation level.
"Junior Brother, there is sothing you may not know: the Taoist Child Yi Yuan of the Five Elents Sect personally took action, and even with the master and the little Demon Venerable joining forces, they were no match for him and perished on the East Wu coast..."
Sun Huangling thought for a mont and spoke sadly.
"Really! Is it true!?"
Upon hearing this news, Hong He couldn’t help but react emotionally, clenching his fists tightly to suppress the urge to laugh, pretending to be shocked, and even stumbled.
"I too find it hard to believe this, but the news will soon spread. At that ti, the Wild Sea demons we lead will surely fall into chaos. Before the other Demon Kings from the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals arrive, we certainly won’t be able to control them..."
Du ngyun voiced her thoughts, which were essentially suggesting that the two of them should leave East Wu imdiately before the news spreads, and find a place to hide.
After Du ngyun completes her Nascent Soul Formation, they would assess the situation of the battle between the Righteous Path and the Demon Path.
If the Demon Path wins, and Wen Buyue isn’t dead, they would flee overseas.
If the Righteous Path wins, they would continue to hide and wait for a chance to act, ideally to kill Wen Buyue.
"Senior Sister makes a valid point, but where should we hide?"
Hong He nodded upon hearing this, feeling indifferent to the situation in East Wu, and not holding deep feelings for the Five Elents Sect, only a sense of belonging due to the great kindness from Chen Mobai.
Being able to stay out of it is the best choice for him.
"Once the news of the little Demon Venerable’s death spreads, the Demon Kings from the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals will certainly take action, making East Wu the fiercest battlefield. Although we are familiar with it, it is better to leave to avoid unexpected situations."
"The Eastern Wilderness is the main camp of the Five Elents Sect, and we definitely should not walk into the trap."
"Then there is the Desolate Sea and the Ruins. Although the Desolate Sea has so foundations and forces from the master, we must clear our ties and certainly can’t go to the demons’ territory. But if we go to the Myriad Stars Alliance, we risk exposure of our demonic techniques and facing mortal danger."
"So, after careful consideration, only the Ruins are left. Moreover, the Ruins nearby have been trampled over by the Wild Sea demons due to the war, so I plan to sneak into the deeper parts of the Ruins."
Du ngyun explained her plan, although these words were just to deceive Hong He, as the deeper parts of the Ruins are notorious for being too dangerous.
Almost every territory is inhabited by Rank-4 demonic beasts, and it’s said that there are ancient beasts still alive from ancient tis, with powers no less than Divinity Transformation True Spirits.
Du ngyun actually plans to go to the Eastern Wilderness.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
This incarnation of Sun Huangling primarily cultivates not demonic techniques; she initially intended to explore the path of unity between the Righteous and Demon thods, should her true body fail to achieve Divinity Transformation.
Now the entire East Continent is at war, and apart from the East Land, the safest place is the Eastern Wilderness.
A long ti ago, Du ngyun had already used the Sun family’s influence to buy properties in various Immortal Cities in the Eastern Wilderness, allowing her to properly reside there for refuge.
However, she certainly can’t let Hong He know this, as she needs his help with matters while recovering her cultivation level in the Eastern Wilderness.
"Senior Sister, then let’s go now!"
After hearing this, Hong He felt sothing was off, but he still followed Du ngyun’s words.
"Alright!"
Du ngyun imdiately nodded in agreent.
Hong He instantly thought he was overthinking, and the two took their storage bags, told a demon tribe mber guarding the spirit vein and a magic Daoist monk that they were going to explore a second hiding place, and then left directly.
After leaving, Du ngyun deliberately caused a commotion to expose the location to so disciples of the Five Elents Sect nearby.
Soon, Yin Qingi and Liu Wenbo led the Five Elents Sect army to cleanse over a hundred hidden demons in the spirit vein land.
anwhile, Du ngyun and Hong He had already bypassed the Five Elents Sect’s defense line and flew into the Ruins.
"Junior Brother, this Devouring Sea Demonic Art was given to by the master, allowing cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm. I’ll first give you the contents up to Perfect Core Formation."
After entering the Ruins, Du ngyun suddenly took out a black jade slip and handed it to Hong He.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, but since the master is no longer around, why don’t you give the entire cultivation technique?"
Though Hong He knew that the major factions in the East Continent traditionally passed on their cultivation techniques in this manner, he couldn’t help but ask.
"Junior Brother, we part ways here. From now on, I will contact you once every ten years, maybe having so tasks for you. However, I promise that if you can cultivate to the Perfect Core Formation and satisfy with the tasks you complete, I will surely give you the full version of the Devouring Sea Demonic Art."
Du ngyun laughed as she spoke, using the sa technique that Diao Xianlan used on her, on Hong He.
Using cultivation techniques to control disciples and subordinates is already quite gentle in the Demon Path.
Other thods include servant-master relationships, blood contracts, poison, restrictions, and more!
However, the major demon sects know a bit about causal lines, which is why they usually use cultivation techniques.
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
Hong He considered his own strength compared to Sun Huangling’s and could only nod helplessly and take the jade slip.
The two parted ways in the Ruins, each seeking their own hiding spots.
In the Demon Path, even between married couples or Daoist partners, trust is nonexistent, and they wouldn’t live together for long periods.
After flying a while in the Ruins, Hong He imdiately stopped.
As a local, he was most aware of the terrifying depths of the Ruins and naturally wouldn’t think he, just a Golden Core cultivator, could hide under the noses of those mighty demonic beasts.
So demonic beasts have extrely sensitive noses, making it impossible to conceal the human and blood scent on him.
After considering for a while in mid-air, Hong He decided to go to the place he knew best, Yun ng Ze, to hide.
Additionally, more than a decade ago, he had bought a house with a cleansed identity in Stormy Immortal City.
Three days later, at the gates of Stormy Immortal City.
Du ngyun and Hong He, queuing in the entry hall, glanced at each other and awkwardly nodded.
"In the Ruins, lacking so essential items, I ca here to purchase fasting pill elixirs for a long-term retreat."
Du ngyun spoke first, coming up with a reason.
"Sa, sa, too."
Hong He nodded repeatedly.
