A Deal with the Evil God?

"I'll tell you where he is! Let him go!" He Huli a deep breath and looked at the Sage Scholar.

He knew that Elder Bai was no match for Qi Chun, and if this continued, they would both die here!

Then all their years of planning will have been in vain!

And within this painting, it's the opponent's home turf!

"Don't lie, my Lord He Huli!" The Sage Scholar smiled slightly, turning the pages of the book in his hand that shone with supreme Dao light, and slowly a character "Truth" floated out and landed on He Huli!

For some reason, He Huli, the man in official robes, had only one thought in his mind: to tell the truth!

"The only way to leave this world is through the Heavenly Gate!"

The Sage Scholar frowned; he had gone to so much trouble not to hear this answer!

"But we have a way to change the entrance and exit of the Heavenly Gate's teleportation system so that the Heavenly Court won't notice!"

"What method?"

He then asked.

He Huli's face suddenly showed a struggle, and wisps of black energy spread out from his pupils!

"I can't say, I can't say..."

His voice became low and hoarse, as if some mysterious force was preventing him from speaking.

The Sage Scholar frowned slightly; he sensed the struggle and resistance emanating from He Huli.

This world actually possesses such Divine Ability!

The Sage Scholar looked him over curiously, then slowly uttered a single word. "Stay!!"

When this word landed on He Huli, his struggles and resistance began to stabilize!

But Qi Chun knew that there was definitely something wrong with this person!

"What happened to you? Why do you have such an evil aura?"

"Hehe, evil... Evil God, only by making a deal with the Evil God can you... pfft!"

He Huli coughed up a mouthful of blood, which was not red, but a strange black!

He once again exuded that evil aura!

He Huli's already weathered skin suddenly began to age rapidly!

"Grown ups!"

The White-haired Old Man rushed anxiously to He Huli's side.

He took it out of his pocket

A small, exquisite porcelain bottle was used to pour out a single pill, which was then fed into his mouth.

He Huli's complexion improved somewhat, and the aging process of her skin stopped!

"You also absorbed the 'Source'?"

The Sage Scholar Calligraphy looked at the two with a solemn expression. His skin was aging rapidly, a sign of absorbing the source and then lacking it!

Neither He Huli nor the White-haired Old Man answered!

But the Sage Scholar had already discerned an affirmative answer from their expressions!

His expression grew even more serious; it seemed the situation in this world was far more complex than he had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Court forbids any leakage of the "source," and not even a drop can be absorbed by anyone outside the Heavenly Court.

Although He Huli is the city lord of Beicheng, he can only be considered an appendage of the Heavenly Court, and therefore cannot absorb the "Source"!

He looked at He Huli again and said, "I don't care about that now. Tell me quickly how you made a deal with the Evil God? And why did it turn out like this?"

He Huli took a deep breath, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but he still answered, "The first time, the Evil God approached us on his own initiative. I was on the verge of death at the time, and I couldn't break through, so I thought of targeting Yuan, but the Heavenly Court's control over Yuan was too strong!"

"Even I didn't have a chance to use it!"

"I hate it! Why do the people of Heavenly Court get to enjoy such good things, while I can only grow old and die?"

Suddenly, one night, an evil voice resounded in my mind. It could help me break through my current realm and at the same time help me evade the Heavenly Court's search.

"But I..."

He Huli spoke, an evil aura began to emanate from him, and his expression began to twist!

"Grown ups!"

The White-haired Old Man's expression panicked again, and he tried to pull out the elixir!

"Certainly!"

But a dazzling word slowly floated onto He Huli's body.

"Boundary!"

Then another word fell to the ground, raising an invisible barrier that enveloped the three of them!

The faint, imperceptible connection with evil thoughts in the void has been severed!

The Sage Scholar frowned deeply, for this was, after all, part of his own painting.

In his painted world, he was completely isolated from the outside world!

However, at this moment, he felt an evil force from the outside world interfering with his control.

"This power... it can actually penetrate my scroll world?" The Sage Scholar's tone carried a hint of surprise. He had always had great confidence in his scroll world, but at this moment, he had to admit that the power of this Evil God seemed to exceed his expectations!

He Huli temporarily regained his composure under the calligrapher's word "ding", but the fear in his eyes became more obvious.

He knew all too well that his deal with the Evil God had plunged him into an abyss from which he could not escape.

"But I had to help him descend to the Profound Yellow Great World. At that time, I had no choice but to betray the Heavenly Court!"

He Huli took a deep breath and continued, "In order to leave this place, as long as we pray for the protection of the Evil God before passing through the Heavenly Gate, we will not enter the Heavenly Court, but will go to the Profound Yellow Great World!"

The Sage Scholar frowned. Praying to Evil God for protection didn't sound like a good idea!

"At the time, I thought the Evil God's conditions were so simple, it was a complete steal. But later I discovered that once you made a deal with the Evil God, the seed of evil thoughts would sprout and grow uncontrollably, regardless of whether you made any more deals afterward!"

"I'm almost losing control of myself now; I keep snapping!"

"The Evil God ... he... not only wants our world, but also our bodies, and even... even our souls, he won't spare them!" He Huli said, his voice trembling, as he revealed this shocking secret.

The Sage Scholar's expression turned solemn. This suddenly appearing Evil God was actually his hope!

"Qi Chun, I know what you're thinking. Actually, our enemies are all the Heavenly Court. I've already told you the secret. How about we just let it go today? If you kill us, you'll only alert them. It's better to keep us alive so we can cover for you when you decide to leave!"

Seeing He Huli the Sage Scholar remained silent, He Huli wanted to take this opportunity to persuade him to spare his life. He knew that his life was already in the hands of the Sage Scholar, but he also understood that if he could persuade the Sage Scholar, they might still have a glimmer of hope.

The Sage Scholar looked at He Huli, his eyes gleaming with a profound light.

He does need these people's help, but he can't completely trust them.

After all, they had made a deal with the Evil God, and their bodies were already tainted with evil.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I can spare your lives, but you must agree to one condition."

He Huli and the White-haired Old Man exchanged a glance, a glimmer of hope appearing in their eyes. They knew this was their only chance.

"What are the conditions?" He Huli asked cautiously.
