At the thought, Yu Huafeng's eyes sharpened, and alarm rose in his heart.
From what he knew of Li Yun's past, the man could be recklessly bold at times—even lawless.
And now Li Yun was suddenly asking about the Great Black Heaven and Blood God Cult outposts in the Crimson Flame Ancient Domain. Was he planning to stir up trouble again?
Yu Huafeng set down his wine cup and looked at Li Yun gravely.
"Li Yun, tell me honestly. You aren't thinking of...?"
"What? Steward Yu, where did that come from? Look where I am—I'm in the Evergreen Ancient Domain. Even if I wanted to do something to those outposts, my arms don't reach that far!"
Li Yun knew what Yu Huafeng suspected and denied it at once.
"Besides, I'm only a lowly Saint Sect, and just at the middle stage. With my strength, would I dare go after the Great Black Heaven and Blood God Cult outposts in the Crimson Flame Ancient Domain?"
"Wouldn't that be like a lamb walking into a tiger's jaws, straight into a trap?"
"Do I look that stupid?"
Yu Huafeng wasn't entirely convinced.
He gave Li Yun a searching look.
"I don't know whether you're telling the truth, but I'm warning you anyway. Even if you have something in mind, hold it in. Don't do anything rash."
"As far as I know, both the Great Black Heaven and Blood God Cult outposts in the Crimson Flame Ancient Domain have a Saint Emperor in charge."
"The Saint Emperor at the Great Black Heaven outpost is Saint Emperor Redbeard. The one at the Blood God Cult outpost is Blood Maitreya!"
"If you set your sights on them, you won't come back alive. And when the Ninth Princess holds me responsible, I'll lose half my life too..."
