#1750 - The more you talk, the more excited you get!

"Shen Mingyue, you want to break my defense, huh?" Ji Dongfeng looked at Shen Mingyue, sneered, and didn't care. He knew clearly in his heart that the filth would try every means to disturb his state of mind. If he cared too much, it would only affect his judgment.

Shen Mingyue smiled softly upon hearing this, and said, "In the future, you will understand everything. I hope you won't regret it then."

"Ji Dongfeng, I won't give you the chance to kill me. This one soul of mine has already completed what it should do. So what if you destroy eight of my souls? The Filth Lord can easily replenish all my souls with a wave of his hand."

"Goddess, don't worry, I will crush the remaining two souls one by one," Ji Dongfeng said with a smile.

"Kid, although what it said just now was nonsense, there is one thing worth noting, that is, the filth in the Third Heaven probably all know the news that the Filth Lord is about to descend. Before the Filth Lord truly descends, they will definitely take action," Ying Long said.

"To show themselves in front of the Filth Lord?" Zhulong asked.

"It's very possible... When the Hong Lord and Filth Lord descend, they will change the entire layout of Honglin, using Honglin as a chessboard and Hongshu as chess pieces. No living being can stay out of it. If they can't bring a surprise to the Filth Lord, or prove themselves to the Filth Lord, then they are very likely to become cannon fodder..." Ying Long said.

Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred when he heard this, and he said, "Using Honglin as a chessboard... using Hongshu as chess pieces... If that's the case, I don't want to watch the show. Even if I can't become a chess player, I have to jump out of the chessboard."

"Well said! So young! You must have such ambition!" Shu Xuanhuo laughed loudly.

Ji Dongfeng smiled upon hearing this, put away the Blood Transformation Drum Hammer and the Luck Spear, and said, "Senior, why did you come here?"

Shu Xuanhuo sighed upon hearing this, and said, "Alas... This is a long story. As you know, in order to integrate forces, the Third Heaven does not have the Eight Great Sects, but only an alliance of the Eight Great Sects. All cultivators from the Eight Great Sects of the First Heaven will join this alliance after ascending."

"It's just that the gap between cultivators in the Third Heaven... is much larger than in the First Heaven. Although the Eight Great Alliances have a large number of people, they have ultimately become the lowest level of existence... But it's still better than those wastes from the Water and Fire Alliance in Ta Tian Prefecture."

"The disciples of the Eight Great Alliances eat, live, and cultivate together, which can be considered harmonious. And I also have someone I love."

Ji Dongfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took out melon seeds and said, "Tell me more about your beloved."

Shu Xuanhuo smiled softly upon hearing this, and said, "Her surname is Lou, and her name is Muqing. She is a woman with a strong character. She comes from the Li Huo Sect... She is a bit slow-witted when it comes to emotions..."

"I chased her for many years. She cultivated, and I cultivated with her. She fought with the filth, and I healed her from behind. It is said that time can move everything, but she is like the most untouchable creature in the world..."

The next moment, Shu Xuanhuo sighed and said, "Shu Xuanfeng advised me not to be obsessed with these love affairs, but... this is the first woman I've ever been moved by since I was a child..."

Ji Dongfeng said upon hearing this, "Speaking of Senior Shu Xuanfeng, how is she doing?"

"Before I came in, she was doing okay, but I don't know how she is now. She is more calm than me, and should have become one of the Eight Great Elders of the Alliance now..." Shu Xuanhuo said.

"I'll go visit her later. You continue," Ji Dongfeng said.

"In a battle with the filth, Lou Muqing was accidentally seriously injured, and even contracted an extremely strange poison. This poison is called Ghost Fire Poison, which is an extremely rare poison in the Third Heaven. It will burn a person's seven emotions and six desires, then burn their memory, and finally burn their body and soul," Shu Xuanhuo said, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"I searched all over the Third Heaven, but I couldn't find an antidote, and the seniors in the Third Heaven couldn't do anything about this Ghost Fire Poison either."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "So... you entered the Dead Lake Cave and exchanged a wish."

"That's right, my wish is to completely cure her. It's just that I didn't expect... this Ghost Fire Poison to be so strange that even Old Man Naihe can't do anything about it. This poison cannot be completely eliminated, it can only be suppressed... Every year of my life can suppress one day of Ghost Fire Poison..." Shu Xuanhuo said.

"I know this is not a long-term solution, so I bargained with Old Man Naihe for a while, and finally reached a deal. He will help me find a way to completely cure the Ghost Fire Poison. Before that, he can only suppress it."

"I don't need to pay too much lifespan at once, but first enter the Dead Lake Cave. Every day Old Man Naihe helps me suppress the Ghost Fire Poison, this Dead Lake Cave will automatically deduct one day of my lifespan, until Old Man Naihe finds an antidote, or... my lifespan is completely exhausted."

"Fortunately, I still have a lot of pills that can increase lifespan here, so I should be able to last for a while... That's why I'm staying here."

Ji Dongfeng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "So... you can't go out either..."

"Do you have a way to get out?" Shu Xuanhuo said.

"Yes."

"That's good. I was still worried that a cultivation genius like you would be trapped here, which would be a loss to the entire Nine Heavens... If you can get out, then get out as soon as possible. I won't leave."

Ji Dongfeng sighed upon hearing this, and said, "I will go and see how Lou Muqing is doing now."

"Thank you, little friend. I haven't had a way to contact the outside world since I came in. If I can know how she is doing, I can feel more at ease," Shu Xuanhuo said quickly.

"Little friend, if you see her, can you please give this to her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Xuanhuo took out a yellow dried flower from his arms.

"This is the first flower she gave me. You don't know how happy I was at the time. She said she just picked it casually and gave it to me. I've kept it until now..." Shu Xuanhuo smiled.

"Help me give this to her and tell her to look forward."

Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice upon hearing this, "Okay."

"Okay, little friend, you've done me such a big favor, I can't let you come here for nothing. Let's go, I'll take you to see the real Dead Lake."

Ji Dongfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Senior understands me!"

"...I'm just taking you to see a different scenery. Why are you so excited?" Shu Xuanhuo said.

"I almost forgot... You have some kind of serious illness. Let me tell you, that lake is not a good place... Forget it, I won't tell you anymore, the more I say, the more excited you get."
