He was in urgent need of a soul-restoring pill to stabilize his injuries, so it was impossible for him to let Kong Ju leave like that.
"Impossible!" Kong Ju answered firmly.
He only has one Soul-Bearing Lotus, and it is very likely the only one in the Xianyun Realm.
He was so lucky that he found it in the Chaodi Ancient City.
In this world where the Soul Lotus has become extinct, if Kong Ju had given it to Han Xi, he wouldn't know where to find a second one.
Besides, he will need this Soul-Restoring Lotus when he practices Taixu Youshen in the future.
How could I give in just because of Han Xi's words?
After all, Kong Ju is not completely powerless at the moment.
"My three Residual Sun Arrows can be used here at worst. I want to see if Han Xi dares to bet with me."
There was a ruthless look in Kong Ju's eyes, and he was ready to fight Han Xi to the death with three Sunset Arrows.
Even if we can't kill him, we must injure him severely again.
As Kong Ju finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became inexplicably tense.
The old turtle Xuan Heng on the Xuanwu furnace had been on full alert. It suddenly thought of something, turned around and shouted at Kong Ju: "Use that bell. This guy's soul is injured, and your bell can restrain him."
Kong Ju was stunned by Xuan Heng's words, and then he realized the existence of the Soul-Calming Bell.
"I'm such a blockhead." Kong Ju cursed his own stupidity, but his hands were not idle, and a silver light flashed between his eyebrows.
A small silver bell jumped out from the sea of consciousness and was carried in Kong Qi's hand.
It is the soul-calming bell.
The Soul-Calming Bell has a natural suppressive effect on the soul.
It is perfect for dealing with Han Xi who is injured in the soul.
In fact, we cannot say that Kong Ju is stupid.
However, Han Xi's reputation was too terrifying, and Kong Ju was so frightened that he subconsciously took out his most powerful weapon, the Remaining Sun Arrow, to deal with it.
But they forgot about the Soul-Soothing Bell, which restrains the soul and has a not-so-outstanding attack power.
As expected, with the Soul-Calming Bell in hand, Kong Ju frowned subconsciously when he saw Han Xi, who had faced the Remaining Sun Arrow with ease before.
"A powerful spiritual weapon specifically designed to deal with the soul?" Han Xi recognized the ability of the Soul-Calming Bell at a glance, and his voice became a little solemn.
At the same time, Kong Ju had already rung the bell.
Ding! The clear and pleasant sound of the soul-calming bell started from Kong Ju's palm, and turned into a circle of ripples that vibrated out and enveloped the entire cave.
The sound wave ripples naturally also swept across the puppet possessed by Han Xi.
The latter's body visibly trembled under the effect of the soul-calming bell.
But that’s all.
Kong Ju was shocked to find that Han Xi's soul was not captured by the Soul-Calming Bell.
"impossible!"
You must know that when Ge Xia's soul entered Kong Ju's sea of consciousness, it was directly suppressed by the Soul-Calming Bell.
Han Xi's soul was still injured, how could he possibly withstand the power of the Soul-Calming Bell?
Kong Ju was in doubt.
A black light suddenly flashed between Han Xi's eyebrows.
Buzz! As his spiritual power surged, it turned into a black jade tripod above Han Xi's head.
The appearance of the jade tripod was exactly the same as the black jade tripod that Kong Ju saw in the jade slip of the "Taixu Youshen" technique.
With just one glance, Kong Ju understood why Han Xi could withstand the power of the Soul-Calming Bell.
"It's Taixu Youshen!"
Taixu Youshen is originally a magical technique targeting the spirit and soul.
Han Xi had apparently cultivated the Taixu Youshen to a certain level, making it so that even the Soul-Suppressing Bell could not do anything to him.
"Oh no!" Kong Ju felt his scalp tingling.
Immortal techniques like Taixu Youshen are rare in the world. Han Xi was already a natural genius, and now that he has cultivated Taixu Youshen, I'm afraid that there is no one in the entire Xianyun world who can kill him.
"Your precious spirit-infused weapon is nothing but this!" Han Xi's eyes flashed with a strange blood-red light, and he smiled brightly at Kong Ju.
Kong Ju remained silent. Just as he was getting worried about this, Xuan Heng, who was observing the situation on the field, noticed something.
His green eyes flashed with teasing.
When it was alive, it was a great demon king at the peak of its power. Although its body was destroyed and its soul was trapped in the Xuanwu furnace, its knowledge was still there.
He immediately looked directly at Han Xi and said with a cold smile: "Don't pretend, red-eyed boy. Your twists and turns will not escape Grandpa Turtle's eyes."
"You can indeed resist the power of that bell, but it will definitely not be easy for you."
Han Xi couldn't help but look at the old turtle on the Xuanwu furnace a few more times when hearing Xuan Heng's words.
He simply stopped pretending, spread his hands, and said, "It's indeed a bit uncomfortable."
"Mr. Turtle, you are so reliable!" Kong Ju had never felt that Xuan Heng was so reliable. Now, looking at its green eyes, he felt friendly.
After secretly praising Xuan Heng's eyesight.
He looked serious again, looked at Han Xi, and said in a low voice: "Senior, I can't give the Soul-Bearing Lotus to you. If you push me too hard, I will have no choice but to fight you to the death!"
As he spoke, Kong Ju held the Soul-Calming Bell above his head and at the same time held the Spring Elixir in his hand to activate the Xuanwu Furnace.
Kong Ju's threat was undoubtedly effective.
There was an ambiguous look in Han Xi's eyes. He first glanced at the soul-calming bell floating above Kong Ju's head, and then turned his gaze to the old turtle Xuan Heng who was eager to try on the Xuanwu furnace.
This old turtle does give Han Xi a difficult feeling.
There is also the Soul-Calming Bell that is specifically designed to calm the soul.
Even though Han Xi was rampant, he was seriously injured and had to admit that he did not have the ability to stop the young man.
So after a long silence.
Han Xi raised his hand, helplessly holding his forehead with his hand, and sighed: "Why are all of you from the Cangwu Sect so difficult to deal with? Are you the disciple of Huangfu Ying?"
Han Xi was just saying it casually.
When Kong Qi heard this, his scalp went numb.
The downfall of Huodezong had a lot to do with Huangfu Ying.
Moreover, Huangfu Ying indirectly killed his daughter, Han Dong'er.
No matter what his relationship with Huangfu Ying was before, there was absolutely no room for maneuver now that things had come to this point.
"If Han Xi knew that I was Huangfu Ying's apprentice, I would be in a state of disaster." Kong Ju sighed in his heart, with an indifferent look on his face, as if he didn't hear those words.
Instead, he said sincerely in a persuasive voice: "Senior Han Xi, you are notorious for your viciousness. I really don't want to fight you unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Similarly, Senior Han Xi, your soul has not recovered from its injuries yet, and you don't want to face off against an unknown person like me in a place like this."
"Even if I can't kill you, I think you will feel very uncomfortable."
Hearing Kong Ju's calm voice, Han Xi smiled evilly and responded to Kong Ju with a noncommittal attitude.
At the same time, he looked at Kong Ju with unconcealed admiration in his eyes and said softly, "He is somewhat similar to your master when he was young."
"From the Taixu Wandering God and the Yangshen Tree, you can infer my existence."
"Why is it that the Cangwu Sect is full of people like you?"
"Hey, you red-eyed brat, can't you see Grandpa Turtle?" Seeing that Kong Ju was still chatting with Han Xi, Xuan Heng couldn't stand the feeling of being ignored, and cursed: "Grandpa Turtle is the overlord of the Endless Sea after all. Even though you are trapped in this broken furnace now, if we really have to fight, Grandpa Turtle can also calm you down."
Xuan Heng's existence is undoubtedly the final bargaining chip in this confrontation.
If it were his heyday, Han Xi might not be afraid.
But the injuries of his distraction had not healed yet, and Han Xi was unable to deal with both the Soul-Calming Bell and the Black Tortoise Furnace offered by Kong Ju at the same time.
His sleeves swung slightly, and he finally smiled brightly: "I really can't keep you."
He actually took the initiative to admit that he could not do anything to Kong Ju.
Han Xi's cunning was no less than Huangfu Ying's, so Kong Ju dared not neglect him, let alone respond immediately.
He tightened the Remaining Sun Arrow in his hand and looked above Han Xi's head.
After this demon took over Xianyu Yanhe's puppet, his luck also showed up.
Three feet above the head, the rolling golden color was shining brightly.
It is pure golden luck, without a single flaw.
This proves that Han Xi's luck has also reached the third level, which is comparable to that of Huangfu Wuqin, the prince, and Congyun.
"No wonder he survived!"
"It's hard to kill such a person."
Faced with such a person with great luck, Kong Ju was also overwhelmed.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
I could only ask cautiously, "Senior Han Xi, can you tell me about it?"
"It's very simple!" Han Xi's expression was indifferent. He seemed very casual without any intention to attack. His blood-red eyes smiled as he said, "You have also seen the magic of Taixu Youshen. I will teach you Taixu Youshen, and you give me a soul-restoring pill."
It can be seen that Han Xi has not given up on the Soul Lotus.
He just had to settle for the second best and only asked for a soul-restoring pill made from the Soul-Restoring Lotus, and offered to teach Taixu the immortal art as a condition of the transaction.
"You have also seen how difficult it is to master the Grand Void God. I can say that even if you are extremely talented, it will take you ten to eight years to fully comprehend the secrets."
"Moreover, the cultivation process is extremely dangerous. One mistake could lead to death."
"I have been comprehending this immortal technique for thirty years. There is no one in Wudong who understands the mysteries of the Great Void Wandering Spirit better than me. The experience gained from this practice is enough to be exchanged for a Soul-Restoring Pill."
Having said this, Han Xi stared at Kong Ju without blinking, waiting for his response.
"This deal... is a good deal!" Kong Ju maintained the soul-calming bell above his head, but his heart was eager to make a move because of Han Xi's words.
The jade slip for practicing Taixu Youshenxianfa was indeed in his hands.
But it is undeniable that the practice is difficult.
Even if one has comprehended it, one careless move could result in serious damage.
After all, what is involved is the soul, which carries the life and cultivation of the great master.
However, Han Xi's ability to have a calm conversation made Kong Jue's mind active again.
A bold idea came to his mind. He took a deep breath, a smile spread across his face, and he said, "Senior Han Xi's deal is very fair."
"Since you have also proposed a trade proposal, why not let me have a say?"
"Sure!" Han Xi was determined to get the soul-restoring pill today. He remained very patient and waited for Kong Ju's statement.
"Senior Han Xi, do you know that Dingyue Sect has been destroyed?" Kong Ju paused and thought for a moment, then asked Han Xi this question.
"People on Shuangding Island have been discussing this news for years, so of course I know about it." When talking about Dingyue Sect, Han Xi's voice became much colder.
It could almost be said that he had been manipulated like a chess piece by the Dingyue Sect for decades.
In the end, he was used as a human medicine because of this incident, and the blood fruit he produced was provided to the leader of Dingyue Sect to help him break through.
The Huode Sect also fell apart, his master Ge Xia died, and even his own daughter died.
His hatred for Dingyue Sect was endless.
"It's a good deal for them." Han Xi said this with an emotion that only Kong Ju could understand.
During the years that Han Xi was sleeping in the Soul-Nourishing Wood, he was probably thinking every day about recovering one day, attacking Dingyue Sect and avenging his heinous blood feud.
"As long as Han Xi still has hatred towards Dingyue Sect, my next deal will be much easier." Thinking of this, Kong Ju was shocked and immediately stated his deal conditions: "Then, senior, do you know that the two leaders of Dingyue Sect, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiahou Wenyi, did not die in the battle to wipe them out, but went into hiding."
"I know." Han Xi tried to remain calm, but such a deep hatred could not be concealed at all.
"They can't hide forever."
Han Xi's voice was light, as if he was answering Kong Ju, but more like he was talking to himself.
"To be honest with you, Senior Han Xi, I know where they are!" Kong Ju's voice fell into Han Xi's ears. He could no longer conceal his serious murderous intent. His pupils glowed red as he looked directly at Kong Ju.
"Is this your bargaining chip?"
As cunning as Han Xi was, he could keenly sense what Kong Ju was planning.
"Yes!" Kong Ju nodded frankly.
"Tell me your conditions." Han Xi said this with almost no hesitation.
"Senior Han Xi, I will be going to the place where the two leaders of Dingyue Sect are in a few days, and I will have to fight with them then."
"I just hope that seniors can protect me a little bit when the time comes." Kong Ju lowered his head slightly to show his sincerity.
The place he was talking about was naturally Gujiang.
The "Fu Po San" found in Zhou Yufeng's storage bag proved that Dingyue Sect and Gujiang were inextricably linked.
He was 80% sure that the two masters would go to Gujiang.
It just so happened that Han Xi and Dingyue Zongzhangsheng also had a blood feud.
On the trip to Gujiang, he and Han Xi had the same goal.
If Han Xi was willing to agree to it, Kong Ju would have paid nothing and would just get the protection of a demon for nothing.
But Han Xi is not someone who can be easily persuaded, so she doesn't know whether he will agree to it or not.
The decision-making power was handed over to Han Xi again.
There was a playful look on his face. How could Kong Ju hide the little tricks in his mind from him?
However, his hatred for Dingyue Sect was not false.
Even though he knew Kong Ju was using him, he couldn't refuse the deal.
After thinking for a moment, Han Xi replied: "Take me to find them, and I will help you once."
Once Han Xi takes the Soul-Restoring Pill, his cultivation will surely return to its peak. He is ready for revenge.
"Dealing with the leader of Dingyue Sect does not count as a number. Senior has given me two opportunities to help." Kong Ju was still bargaining.
"Deal!" Han Xi answered firmly.
"You and I swear an oath to heaven!" Kong Ju looked at Han Xi.
Kong Ju would not feel at ease to make a deal with such a devil without making an oath to heaven.
Who knows if he will suddenly turn against me and attack me when I am off guard.
Han Xi nodded slightly.
This deal was a win-win.
Each of them seeks what they need, and neither of them suffers.
So, under the witness of the black tortoise, the two of them pointed to the sky and swore an oath, and sonorous voices rang out from Kong Ju and Han Xi's mouths.
Han Xizhangsheng made a vow to be able to communicate between heaven and earth.
As Han Xi finished his words, Kong Ju could clearly feel a hidden rhythm emerging between him and Han Xi.
Then it dissipated between heaven and earth.
As the last word of the oath fell, Kong Ju could clearly feel in his heart that an invisible shackle had fallen on his foundation.
Just like when they were in the void space in Chaodi Ancient City, Kong Ju and others vowed not to reveal the existence of the Enlightenment Monument.
Once I break that oath, there will be terrible backlash.
There is another benefit to the Heavenly Oath.
Before that oath was fulfilled.
Neither party to the transaction may attack the other party, thus ensuring the fairness of the oath.
"It's safe!" Only then did Kong Ju heave a sigh of relief and put the Settling Sun Arrow and the Soul-Calming Bell back into his body.
Along with them, the basalt furnace was also taken back. (End of this chapter)
