"You actually knew my purpose?" Crimson Tiger's eyes were serious. She looked Chu Yun over again and was now very impressed with Chu Yun.
She had seen many handsome young men and geniuses, the most outstanding of whom was Tie Ao. But now, her perception of him was being drastically shaken.
Chu Yun is the root cause of this wavering.
She realized that she couldn't see through the young man in front of her.
Chu Yun was sitting right in front of her, but Crimson Tiger felt as if he was shrouded in a mysterious mist, making him impossible to fathom.
His eyes were clear as water, frank and sincere, clearly not swayed by his own good looks. Such confidence and composure must mean he had many backup plans in place to prevent being killed and silenced.
The little killing intent he had to begin with quickly dissipated. Crimson Tiger, by nature, was not a bloodthirsty person.
"If you want to cooperate, you have to show your sincerity." Crimson Tiger paused. "At least let me know how you obtained these secrets?"
"It's not difficult to guess your identity," Chu Yun said with a slight smile, beginning his analysis. He was a top-notch Relic Explorer, able to deduce the location of the Star Sea Dragon Palace based solely on the available information, demonstrating his exceptional skill.
These words were naturally insightful and to the point. The evidence was detailed and the speculation was accurate. Crimson Tiger was even more shocked after hearing them.
"What incredible intelligence! To deduce so much from just this superficial information. Such meticulous and cautious thinking..." Crimson Tiger couldn't help but scrutinize Chu Yun again. In just a short conversation with Chu Yun, she had already been astonished as she had in the past six months.
"I'll tentatively believe you," Crimson Tiger said after considering his tone. "Cooperation isn't out of the question. But how can I be sure that your Shu Clan will truly put in the effort to find those things?"
"What is it?" Chu Yun really wanted to ask that. He had the answer based on his memories from his previous life, and combined it with the question to deduce the whole thing. But he hadn't deduced everything.
" Crimson Tiger needs to collect some things, and these things are what she uses to disguise herself as the Red-Robed Fairy. But what are they?" Chu Yun thought rapidly, while speaking without revealing anything, "My presence here today is a testament to my sincerity; you need not doubt it. A period of cooperation will be the best confirmation. What do you think?"
"Hehe. Well said. In that case, your Shu Clan will find two genuine products for me every month. What do you say?"
"Two things?" Chu Yun frowned, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. He didn't even know what these things were, how could he find them for Crimson Tiger?
However, the Yan Family Patriarch was waiting for him outside the ship, lying in wait. Having just severely humiliated Tie Ao, he wouldn't let him off the hook.
Although Chu Yun was not afraid, in this situation where the enemy was clearly stronger and he was weaker, it would be foolish to act recklessly.
"Two items are indeed a bit too many. Then one per month." Seeing his reaction, Crimson Tiger's doubts dissipated. She would have been worried if Chu Yun had taken on too much.
"Alright." Chu Yun reluctantly agreed. "As a condition of our cooperation, please do your best to cut off their supplies and harass their rear in the Yan Family's waters."
"Is that really the condition?" Crimson Tiger smiled.
"Well, there's another troublesome matter. The Yan Family Patriarch has his eye on me, and he requests that Red-Robed Fairy escort me back to Shu Family Island." Only at the very end did Chu Yun casually reveal his true purpose.
Crimson Tiger, unsuspecting, said, " The Yan Family Patriarch? Heh, you crippled their main fleet, the culmination of generations of hard work. It would be strange if they weren't watching. Don't worry, since we're allies, I'll naturally help you with this small favor."
An hour later, the Red-Robed Fairy dismissed the unrelated personnel. Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the boat departed from the sea market ahead of schedule.
"You mean, we didn't see Chu Yun disembark? So, they're still on the boat?" Tie Ao's mood, which had calmed down slightly after receiving Long Daozhi's report, immediately soured again.
The Red-Robed Fairy ' flower boat is only opened when it is moored. No one has ever been able to stay on the flower boat while it is sailing.
This is the rule of the Red-Robed Fairy.
But today, that rule was broken, and it was Chu Yun who broke it.
" Chu Yun, I swear I will not rest until I kill you!" Tie Ao trembled with hatred, a boundless killing intent surging forth, almost uncontrollable.
The wind caressed it gently, and the sun warmed it with its intense rays. The sea, under these tender touches, breathed as if in a dream. The slightly bubbling air was filled with the scent of evaporating salt.
The ship sails on the boundless, magnificent, and tranquil blue ocean, as smooth as marble. In the distance, the sea merges with the pale blue sky, and the sun melts in the sunlight.
"This ship is so fast!" Jin Bihan stood by the ship's side, feeling the strong wind rushing towards her, her heart pounding.
The Hua ship was not as simple as it appeared on the surface; its speed at this moment had surpassed that of the Eagle Soaring and Fierce Fang.
"No wonder the Red-Robed Fairy never carries outsiders on her voyages." Chu Yun was also surprised, but he remained outwardly calm.
"At this rate of sailing, we should arrive at Shu Family Island by midnight." Crimson Tiger walked over, still dressed in Red Robe. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind, as beautiful as a begonia in full bloom.
"That's for the best," Chu Yun smiled, about to say something in thanks. Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind, "Don't think you can escape! I'm here, none of you can escape my grasp!"
"Oh no! The Yan Family Patriarch has actually caught up!" Jin Bihan exclaimed in surprise as she saw the Yan Family Patriarch riding the Demon Beast Ashen Horse, sweeping towards them like a dark cloud.
He was so fast that he was almost a full inch faster than a boat.
"That old bastard, he's a persistent ghost." Chu Yun gritted his teeth, drew his Hurricane Bow, and fired Meteor Arrow. However, the Meteor Arrow, which had repeatedly proven effective, only managed to blast through clumps of ash and black clouds. In an instant, the ash clouds would be replenished.
"The opponent is Spirit Demon- level Ashen Horse, we can't be careless." Jin Bihan summoned the Golden Jade Fairy Butterfly and led a swarm of golden powder butterflies to block the attack.
"A Golden Jade Fairy Butterfly?" The Yan Family Patriarch was surprised for a moment, then burst into a ferocious laugh. "Good, very good. It seems I've reaped a great harvest this time. Not only have I obtained a top-grade Heavenly Fox and a branch of the Mount Li Longan Flower, but also a Golden Jade Fairy Butterfly."
The Ashen Horse a master of both offense and defense, with crimson pupils and sparks flying from its hooves. Around it swirls smoke and fire, like rolling dark clouds; any spell that strikes these clouds can only diminish a portion of them, but they instantly regenerate, making it incredibly difficult to deal with.
"Dare to block my way, you are all doomed!" The Yan Family Patriarch flicked his sleeve, and a Demon Weapon weapon, the Heartflame Brush, flew out. This brush was made entirely of red jade, but its tip was burning with blood-red flames.
The Yan Family Patriarch held a brush in his hand, activated his magic, and drew a line in the air.
Suddenly, a wall of fire erupted in front of the boat, steaming and hissing as it rose.
"This is Heartflame Brush of the Spirit Demon level!" Chu Yun was shocked.
"Do you think flames of this magnitude can stop me?" The Red-Robed Fairy scoffed, steer her flower boat recklessly, smashing through the wall of fire and continuing her voyage.
"What kind of demonic ship is this? It's definitely not a simple flower boat!" The Yan Family Patriarch was shocked again. He knew the power of his Heartflame Brush well, but he didn't expect it to be breached so easily.
Chu Yun fired a series of Meteor Arrow, Yan Family Patriarch used his Heartflame Brush to create a fire shield that blocked the arrows.
Flames danced, drawing countless firebirds that soared high, densely packed, completely engulfing Jin Bihan's already dwindling flock of golden butterflies, leaving only the lone Golden Fairy Butterfly.
"Hmph," the Red-Robed Fairy snorted softly, her long sleeves dancing like a dragon in flight. It seemed that her Red Robe was also a Demon Weapon, inscribed with whip techniques and Daoist magic, temporarily used to resist the Yan Family Patriarch.
" Stubbornly Unyielding, you will all die!" The Yan Family Patriarch said with imposing power, patting the head of the Ashen Horse and letting it attack. He then used his Fire Cloud Boots, stepping on two fiery clouds and drawing two streaks of fire in the air, increasing his speed as he charged towards Chu Yun.
The Ashen Horse unleashed its full power, transforming into a massive cloud of smoke that enveloped everything. Instantly, a wave of heat swept across the sky, causing Chu Yun's hair to turn a scorched yellow and curl up. The black smoke cloud composed of ash carried immense heat, making it difficult to resist.
Chu Yun's side immediately fell into a disadvantageous position, and the situation became extremely precarious.
At the critical moment, the Red-Robed Fairy stepped forward and blocked the Ashen Horse.
Chu Yun the Heavenly Fox, and together with the Golden Jade Fairy Butterfly, they struggled to cope with the relentless attacks of the Spirit Demon Weapon's Heartflame Brush.
"This can't go on." Chu Yun gritted his teeth and took out the Mount Li Eye Flower Branch from the Star Sea Dragon Palace Immortal Pouch. He waved the flower branch, and the Dragon Eye Fruit blinked repeatedly, activating various mysterious lights.
"A mere trick, uh, is this the Ice Soul Divine Light?" The Yan Family Patriarch's cold laughter abruptly stopped. He was careless, and his Fire Cloud Boots were hit by the Ice Soul Divine Light, instantly freezing into ice blocks.
" Ice Soul Divine Light?" Chu Yun was also surprised, glancing at the Mount Li flower branch in his hand. Only then did he realize that the so-called Ice Soul Divine Light was indeed emitted from the Polar Ice Dragon Eye Fruit.
" Ice Soul Divine Light is a top-grade innate Dao technique of the Polar Ice Dragon. I only have the Dragon Eye, so this Ice Soul Divine Light is not complete; it's like a replica of Meteor Arrow. However, even so, it still possesses several tenths of the power of a top-grade Dao technique. And it happens to be a perfect counter to the fire attribute."
Chu Yun was overjoyed and unleashed a barrage of Ice Soul Divine Light. The demons of the Yan Family Patriarch were all fire-elemental and were countered by the Ice Soul Divine Light. The Heartflame Brush was ultimately a spirit Demon Weapon and was almost unaffected. However, the Fire Cloud Boots were merely Great Demon weapon and were hit repeatedly. This caused the Yan Family Patriarch's speed to plummet, making it impossible for him to get close, and he roared in anger.
"Go down," the Red-Robed Fairy said softly, her red sleeves fluttering like swirling flowers, directly repelling the Ashen Horse.
"Huh? You're not human!" The Yan Family Patriarch witnessed this scene, suddenly realized something, his face trembled, and he shouted out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yun unleashed the Ice Soul Divine Light again. The Yan Family Patriarch was hit multiple times and was finally shaken off by the caravan.
However, a moment later, he caught up again, relentlessly launching another attack. Chu Yun's side fought and retreated, giving it their all. Finally, after reaching the Shu Clan area, the Yan Family Patriarch disappeared and did not continue to follow.
