Ye Hong was shocked by the woman's beauty. He stood stunned for a moment and then quickly came to his senses and stepped forward to greet her.
Before Ye Hong could speak, the graceful and elegant woman took the lead and said in a surprised and slightly questioning tone: "Are you the three-attribute cultivator that Yiyi mentioned?"
"This..." Ye Hong didn't expect that the woman would ask such a question in her first sentence, and he didn't know how to answer it.
Liu Yiyi quickly came to the rescue and interjected: "Master, he is indeed the Ye Hong I told you. He has a very special physique."
"This is my master, Elder Qingyin. Because I mentioned to my master that you can use three elemental powers, the master is more curious about you.
In fact, my master is also one of the elders of Butterfly Flower Valley. I have already told your master that you need the demon core, and he also said that he can agree to exchange it for you. "Then Liu Yiyi introduced it to Ye Hong.
After Ye Hong knew the woman's identity, he was surprised. He thought that the elders were all in their seventies and eighty years old, but he didn't expect it to be such a young woman. He was surprised and quickly saluted the woman.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Elder Qingyin! I'm new to your sect, so I hope you won't be disturbed a lot!"
With Liu Yiyi's intervention, Elder Qingyin knew that he had lost his temper before, so he quickly adjusted his tone and continued with Ye Hong's words:
"Ahem! It's okay. Since you are here, you are my guest in Butterfly Flower Valley, so there is no need to disturb you. I have heard from Yiyi that you need to ask for the demon core. I don't know what demon core you want to ask for. ?”
Ye Hong said hurriedly: "I need some ninth-level demon cores, preferably those with metal, water or wood attributes. Does Elder Qingyin have these ninth-level demon cores in Butterfly Flower Valley?"
After hearing this, Elder Qingyin frowned and began to think deeply, as if he was carefully recalling whether there was a ninth-level demon core that Ye Hong needed in the Butterfly Flower Valley.
After a moment, Elder Qingyin looked at Ye Hong, hesitated slightly, and said: "The ninth-order demon core you mentioned, our sect does have a metallic one. After all, the ninth-order demon core is not an ordinary thing, and it is worth a lot of money. …”
Hearing that it was true, Ye Hong was very excited. Before Elder Qingyin could finish speaking, Ye Hong said first, "That's great! I beg Elder Qingyin to redeem the ninth-level demon core to me. I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it!"
Elder Qingyin was a little angry at Ye Hong's impolite interruption, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You can buy it with crystal stones, of course that's great. But because the demon core is stored in a secret place within the sect, I don't have it with me. You may need to come with us to get it together."
"Elder Qingyin's price...how many crystals do you think are needed?"
Ye Hong was excited, but he had to restrain himself a little and asked about the specific price. It was better to discuss the price clearly before taking the demon core, otherwise he might not be able to afford it if Elder Qingyin opened his mouth.
"The price is easy to say, just follow the market price. Let's go! You come with me." Elder Qingyin smiled and said very casually, not caring how much crystal stone Ye Hong gave.
After receiving the answer, Elder Qingyin did not sit down and raise the price. Ye Hong felt relieved, and then he agreed and walked out of the hall with Elder Qingyin and Liu Yiyi.
Traveling all the way, the three of them came to a hidden mountain wall. I saw Elder Qingyin press twice in front of the mountain wall, and a narrow passage that could accommodate one person appeared on the smooth mountain wall.
After Elder Qingyin opened the passage, he said to Ye Hong and the other two who were following him: "Yiyi, stay guard outside. Follow me in."
"Yes! I leave everything to Master!" Liu Yiyi cupped her fists and bowed respectfully to Elder Qingyin, then stepped aside.
Elder Qingyin nodded slightly, with no emotion or anger on his face, and signaled Ye Hong to follow him closely before entering the passage first.
Ye Hong didn't think much and followed Elder Qingyin's footsteps and entered the passage.
Seeing that Ye Hong had entered and the passage began to slowly close, Liu Yiyi suddenly had a sneer on her face.
When Ye Hong saw the scene behind the passage, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked in confusion at Elder Qingyin who was standing still in front of him, smiling evilly at him.
"Elder Qingyin? Why don't you leave? No demon cores here?" Ye Hong felt uncomfortable being stared at by Elder Qingyin like this, so he deliberately avoided Elder Qingyin's evil smile and looked around.
"No need to look for it! There is no demon core here, nor is there the ninth-level demon core you want." Elder Qingyin said with a joking smile.
Hearing this, Ye Hong suddenly frowned and was very puzzled, "Elder Qingyin, what do you mean by this?"
"That's what I mean~ How can we have such a valuable treasure as the ninth-level demon core in Butterfly Flower Valley? Even if we did, we wouldn't be able to give it to you." Elder Qingyin changed from his previous coldness and became as charming as Liu Yiyi before. people.
"Why did you lie to me? Could it be that everything Liu Yiyi said before was false?" Ye Hong frowned deeper.
"Of course it's fake. She just came here to trick you. I didn't expect you to be fooled so easily. I thought she would waste more words."
Ye Hong knew that he had been deceived and was very angry. He didn't understand why the two of them wanted to deceive him.
"Since there is no demon core, there will be no need to disturb you, so I'll leave first."
Seeing that Elder Qingyin looked at him in the wrong way, full of joking and ill-intentions, his smile was very charming.
This is the territory of Butterfly Flower Valley. This elder Qingyin is the elder of Butterfly Flower Valley. His cultivation level is definitely not low. If someone really attacks him, he may not be able to resist him. Ye Hong then decided to quit and was ready to leave.
But as soon as I turned around, I found that the passage I had just entered had disappeared at some point. There was only an empty space with no passage at all.
"You're so anxious to leave when you've just arrived? Let's stay in our Butterfly Flower Valley for a while first!" Elder Qingyin covered his mouth and smiled charmingly. The sound reverberated throughout the space, like a demonic sound entering the ears, ringing for a long time.
That's right, the place where Ye Hong is now is a closed room, surrounded by rock walls. Except for the larger space, which is wider than the hall he just passed, there are no other buildings or the like.
"What's going on? Where is the passage you came from? Why is it missing?" Ye Hong's heart suddenly felt cold.
"Stop looking for me! You can't get out of here, so just surrender and capture me!"
"What are you going to do! I advise you not to come here! Otherwise I will be rude to you!" After searching to no avail, and seeing Elder Qingyin walking towards him, Ye Hong subconsciously took half a step back.
"Oh haha~ How can you be so rude to me? I was very curious when I heard Yiyi said that the Shuangming Sword was on you." Elder Qingyin joked.
Being pressed closely by Elder Qingyin step by step, he could clearly feel Elder Qingyin's unkindness towards him. Ye Hong felt unsure at this time and didn't know what to do.
"I haven't offended you, right? Why are you trapping me here?" Ye Hong asked.
"You didn't offend me, but who told you to be attracted by my disciple! If you are as talented as I Yiyi said, I might even envy you!" Elder Qingyin said and turned to Ye Hong Grab it, move very quickly.
Seeing Elder Qingyin's slender fingers grabbing at him, Ye Hong didn't care too much and quickly dodged to avoid it.
But Elder Qingyin's speed was as fast as the wind, and Ye Hong couldn't dodge in time. Elder Qingyin grabbed his neck in an instant.
"You're so weak, you're wasting my time!" After catching Ye Hong so easily, Elder Qingyin immediately felt that there was no fun at all. His previous worries were completely overblown, and he couldn't help but sneered.
Ye Hong struggled hard to get rid of Elder Qingyin, but he was pinned so hard that his resistance had no effect and he could not break free at all.
He was lifted up by Elder Qingyin like a chicken and held his neck. Ye Hong felt that he was about to suffocate and couldn't breathe. It could be said that his life and death depended on Elder Qingyin's thoughts.
In order to survive, Ye Hong had to quickly take out the frost sword and slash it at Elder Qingyin, hoping that this sudden attack could kill Elder Qingyin by surprise.
Elder Qingyin seemed to have known for a long time that Ye Hong would fight back, and was very disdainful of Ye Hong's attack. He didn't take it to heart at all and allowed Ye Hong's attack to come.
Seeing the sword in Ye Hong's hand, Elder Qingyin was briefly surprised. In this brief moment of daze, the frost sword had already pierced his skin.
Elder Qingyin felt pain and subconsciously let go of Ye Hong's hand, quickly retreating to prevent the frost sword from causing further damage to him.
Elder Qingyin let go, and Ye Hong felt his neck relax, his breathing became smoother, and he coughed violently several times.
Elder Qingyin glanced at the injured area and frowned slightly. Then with a touch of hand, the wound healed quickly and was intact as before, with no trace of being injured at all.
Looking at the cracked sword in Ye Hong's hand, Elder Qingyin looked at it carefully and said, "It's really Bing Qingqing's Frost Sparkling Sword! It's interesting, but it's a pity that it's already a useless sword."
"You are an elder of Butterfly Flower Valley, but you are doing something to me, a junior. This is how you treat guests in Butterfly Flower Valley!" Ye Hong held the Frost Sparkling Sword tightly in his hands, and looked at Elder Qingyin who was looking at the sword with fear, his heart was racing. Thinking about how to break the situation.
"You, with your Soul Tribulation Realm cultivation, are worthy of being my guest in Butterfly Flower Valley! You really think highly of yourself. If you have any means, use it quickly! Let me take a good look at your skills, or you will be caught again by me. You won’t be able to break free so easily~”
Seeing Elder Qingyin jokingly walking towards him slowly, facing Elder Qingyin's ridicule, Ye Hong raised his spirits to the point that the Frost Sparkling Sword in his hand creaked.
The sense of oppression that Elder Qingyin brought to him was too strong. If it were before, Ye Hong would have thought of escaping as far as he could, but now he had no way to escape and could only fight for his life.
It is extremely difficult to win, and the only way is to bite the bullet, but it feels like there is no chance of winning, so this can only be in vain.
After thinking about it, Ye Hong felt that it would be best to outsmart him and negotiate peace.
Then he said: "We have no grievances. You might as well let me go. There is no need to put me to death! I can give you whatever you want. The price is negotiable. We can have a good talk."
"If you don't want to die now, then show me what you're capable of!"
Without any explanation, Elder Qingyin attacked Ye Hong. Ye Hong, who had been wary of Elder Qingyin, saw this and knew that peace talks were impossible, so he had to make full preparations for a fight to the death, risking his life in the hope of fighting for a chance of survival.
With the speed of Elder Qingyin, Ye Hong knew that he would definitely be unable to avoid it if he used his reaction and speed just now. He hurriedly used the wind elemental power to accelerate himself. Wind was generated under his feet, and he quickly used the speed of sound to increase his speed to the extreme.
