Yun Yan didn't know what Ye Erniang had done to offend Jackal, but he was sure that if Hu Ying wasn't lying, Ye Erniang must have done something that Jackal couldn't forgive.
However, Hu Ying seemed unwilling to mention this past incident again. He turned his head and looked at the center of the lake and said.
"Even if he did something wrong before, he is dead now, so there is no need for us to feel bad about it."
Yun Yan did not deny that there was no deep hatred between him and Jackal from the beginning, and it was only his idea that Jackal always wanted to get rid of him, and he had not taken action against him until now.
Therefore, Yun Yan nodded slowly and said.
"In comparison, those who were hunted by him finally got what they wanted.
Even Ye Erniang should be pleased. After all, Jackal once destroyed her soul and imprisoned her in the land of fireworks, where she suffered endless suffering. "
Hu Ying smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Have you ever seen any woman in the land of fireworks who can freely choose her customers?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan was speechless for a moment, because he didn't know what was going on, but his curiosity about Jackal and Ye Erniang's disciples ended here.
"I said you are staying here just to tell me these things, right? If so, you have already done it, then can I leave?"
Hu Ying looked at Yun Yan in surprise when he saw this. He didn't understand where this young man got the confidence that allowed him to ignore the current predicament he was encountering.
"Don't you want to know who the person you killed was? Who ordered him to kill you?"
Yun Yan looked down at the headless corpse and asked calmly.
"Then will you tell me?"
"certainly."
"Why?"
It seemed that Yun Yan's question was illogical, so Hu Ying said with some displeasure.
"No matter why, just think that I am doing good things."
After hearing this, Yun Yan suddenly laughed.
"You can also do good things?"
Hu Ying asked puzzledly.
"Why can't I do good things?"
Yun Yan suddenly said in a deep voice.
"If you could do good things, you wouldn't just watch all this happen. Since you said that Ye Erniang is kind-hearted and values friendship, then she must treat you well.
But you clearly knew the truth, but you allowed Ye Erniang to continue to provoke Jackal, causing her to eventually get burned.
Even so, whether she is forced to stay in Yangchun Tower or willingly stays there, you should help her instead of watching indifferently.
So, why should I believe that you will suddenly be kind enough to help me, a stranger who has never met you? "
Hu Ying didn't expect Yun Yan to view him this way, but he felt clear about it.
"Everyone has their own obsessions, just like Er Niang will never believe that Jackal killed the master to save her.
And I also have my own reasons, but I am not in the mood to tell my story today. Of course, I believe you are not in the mood to listen to me. "
Yun Yan then replied coldly.
"Jackal's death will affect the selection of the next leader of Lihu Palace. This is the reason why you are kind to me."
"Haha, it seems that I have always underestimated you. Yes, if Jackal dies on the Night Continent, then I will most likely succeed him as the next leader of Lihu Palace.
But you are the only one who can prove that after the Jackal mission failed, I turned the tide and destroyed the entire private stronghold. "
Hu Ying frankly stated his purpose, and then it depends on whether Yun Yan is willing to cooperate. ..
In order to win Yun Yan's support to the greatest extent, Hu Ying promised him.
"As long as you are willing to help me, I will be your most reliable helper in the Nine Provinces Alliance after Li Hu Palace. You must know that even Elder Lu Ming will not
Reject such an offer.
What's more, you also promised others that you would kill the jackal for her, and the current situation is beneficial to both you and me. Do you still hesitate? "
After hearing Hu Ying's tempting offer, Yun Yan pointed at the corpse on the ground and said coldly.
"You shouldn't have forgotten him, right? With my superficial knowledge of swordsmanship, I can tell that he has an extraordinary background, but you deliberately avoided the important things and pretended to tell me his identity, but in fact you wanted to trick me into the game. , you think I’m so easy to deceive!”
Hu Ying did not expect that Yun Yan would see through his conspiracy so quickly, so he stopped pretending and spoke directly.
"The reason why they found this place was because of the information I revealed to them. As for their identities, it doesn't matter at all, because they only work for money.
So, you just need to know who gave them the money to kill you. "
Yun Yan sneered when she heard this.
"I've just entered the heaven, and I'm just a nobody. The only person who wants to kill me is Jackal, so besides Hu Bao, there's no need to guess."
"Haha, Mr. Yun, you are too humble, but from my point of view, you have never taken Hu Bao seriously, and the fact is that he is a dead man and can't do anything to you at all.
Because they haven't figured out your true strength yet, these killers will definitely come to me and hope that I can provide them with accurate information. "
Yun Yan asked curiously.
"Then what will you do?"
Just listen to Hu Ying's meaningful reply.
"Their killer organization will use any means to achieve their goals, but they have a principle, that is, the buyer pays them to kill you, and they can refund the money as long as they prove that the money paid by the buyer does not match the difficulty level of killing you. and abandon the deal."
"Oh, can this be called a principle? Don't they feel ashamed?"
Seeing Yun Yan's disdainful expression, Hu Ying explained seriously.
"Of course not, because when the buyer hires a killer, he must provide the killer organization with basic information about the person to be killed, the most important of which is the cultivation strength of the person to be killed."
"Yes, this information determines the cost of hiring a killer."
"So if the buyer is unable to determine the cultivation strength of the person who was killed, then he must pay extra money to first let them investigate the true strength of the person who was killed."
Yun Yan understood Hu Ying's meaning at this time and listened to him ask.
"So, he wants to test my cultivation?"
Hu Ying nodded and replied.
"Yes, it's just that he accidentally got himself involved."
"Accidentally?"
Yun Yan expressed doubts because he did not believe that a professional killer would make such a fatal mistake.
Hu Ying laughed upon seeing this.
"You have never shown your true strength in front of me, so the information I provided them is too broad for reference.
This also indirectly led him to want to speculate and earn all the commissions by himself. The result is obvious that this will not work. "
Yun Yan replied after a moment of silence.
"Now you know my strength, so if they want to kill me again, they can get the most accurate information from you."
"This is what I just mentioned. As long as you are willing to support me, I will shut up temporarily, so that at least you can return to the Sky City safely.
At that time, with Senior Lu Ming as your backer, if there are still people who want to make trouble with you, he will have to measure whether he has the strength to continue to fight against you. "
After hearing Hu Ying's words, Yun Yan finally believed that Lu Ming's promise to her was not false.
But what puzzles Yun Yan is, who is Hu Ying? Why does he dare to act recklessly under Tianque's nose? Isn't he afraid of retaliating against him when he returns to heaven?
Yunyan couldn't understand these things, and it was impossible for Hu Ying to sue him.
Tell him, but Yunyan has his own plans, because he will never be willing to be manipulated by others.
So, Yun Yan said calmly.
"Since Senior Lu Ming made a promise to me, why can't I take his place? Since Jackal is bound to die, then if you also die unexpectedly, wouldn't I be the biggest winner?"
Yun Yan said such words calmly, which indeed would not make people feel uncomfortable.
However, Hu Ying's expression changed drastically after hearing these words. He did not expect that Yun Yan would actually hit him with a plan.
Hu Ying said in as calm a tone as possible.
"If you just want to test my determination, then I can assure you that no other person will know about this except you and me.
But if you are serious, then we may have to take action. However, I don't plan to fight you until I am sure of victory, because after all, I am better at escaping.
And as long as I leave the Night Continent alive, you should know better than me what the consequences will be. "
After Yun Yan carefully weighed the strengths of himself and Hu Ying, he chose a compromise.
"We have a limit of three hours. If you can guarantee your immortality within three hours, then I will agree to your terms and help you become the next leader of Lihu Palace. From now on, we will each live our destiny and not be separated from each other. Owe each other."
Hu Ying was also repeatedly weighing the strength gap between himself and Yun Yan. Based on the intensity of his soul power when he killed the swordsman in black and his lightning-fast movement, Hu Ying finally agreed to Yun Yan's offer. challenge.
Because Yun Yan did this to fight for his own freedom, and Hu Ying also had to rely on Yun Yan to enter Lihu Palace. They both had reasons for having to engage in this life-and-death struggle.
"My master and I traveled on the lower continent for decades, and finally he brought me to the City in the Sky. I thought that in his heart, I was already his disciple.
However, it wasn't until he accepted Jackal as his disciple that I discovered that the master had never taken me seriously.
Although the master tried every means to continue his legacy, he neglected the one person who was willing to devote his life to him, and that person was me!
Therefore, even if the master is gone, I still have to protect the dignity of the master for him. After killing Hu Bao, Jack took the Li Hu Palace as his own in the name of the master. I have the responsibility to clean up the master's house. portal, and legitimately took over Lihu Palace. "
"So, do you agree?"
Hu Ying nodded slowly and replied.
"That's right, let's get started!"
