Chapter 5059: Intellectual

Seeing Xu Wanjin understand what he said so thoroughly, a smile flashed in Zhang Yifeng's eyes.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Xu can just let you know when the time comes, and I will definitely help."

"Now, whether you or I like it or not, we are all on the same ship in this Rebel Clan."

"If you encounter a crisis, you don't have to be so clear about it."

After Zhang Yifeng said calmly, he walked straight into the prison and closed the cell door with his backhand.

Looking at the slowly closing cell door in front of him, Xu Wanjin paused for a moment, then suddenly gave a wry smile after a while.

"I am judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. Mr. Zhang is very righteous!"

After sighing, Xu Wanjin bowed his hand to Su Zhirou again.

Then he led Yuan Qing to the entrance of the underground cell and carefully observed the situation outside.

At the same time, Zhang Yifeng, who entered the cell, also saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

A little light flashed in his eyes. Even in the extremely dark environment, Zhang Yifeng could still see the old man's face clearly.

It can be seen that half of his face has been occupied by thick black energy, and it is impossible to see clearly what kind of face is hidden under the black energy.

As for the other half of his face, it was also extremely thin and as thin as a candle, which showed how deeply it had been tortured.

"The old man should be the old patriarch Jinghong mentioned by shopkeeper Xu many times, right?"

"I'm Zhang Yifeng, you're polite."

Zhang Yifeng still behaved very politely when facing this tortured old man, bowing slightly and saluting.

"Shopkeeper Xu? Wan Jin seems to have made a name for himself outside."

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be like this. The old guy with half of his body buried in the ground is none other than Jinghong, the former leader of the Rebel Clan."

Jinghong was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Yifeng address Xu Wanjin, but then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

After coming back to his senses, he smiled and revealed his identity to Zhang Yifeng.

"Then let's start treating the old man's demonic energy from now on."

Zhang Yifeng nodded and immediately prepared to step forward to clear the demonic energy from the body of this old man Jinghong.

"This matter is not urgent. I have invited Mr. Zhang to come and meet alone. Actually, I have something I want to ask."

"I hope Mr. Zhang can answer the question without hesitation. As for eradicating the evil spirit, it won't be too late to proceed after hearing Mr. Zhang's answer."

Jinghong waved his hand, looking at Zhang Yifeng's dim eyes, flashes of light flashed.

"Excuse me, old timer."

Zhang Yifeng stopped when he heard the sound, stood still and said softly.

"Mr. Zhang is an open-minded person, so I won't waste time on roundabout ways."

"May I ask Mr. Zhang, why do you want to return to the Rebel Clan with Wan Jin?"

Jinghong didn't expect Zhang Yifeng to be so easy to talk to, but in order to test Zhang Yifeng, he didn't think too much about it.

Whether Zhang Yifeng answers this question or not, Jinghong will have an understanding of it in his heart.

Hearing this question, a look of surprise flashed across Zhang Yifeng's face.

After groaning, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but take a deep look at the old man in front of him who was already weakly alive.

Zhang Yifeng knew at a glance that his physical condition was very dangerous.

Just as the other party said, his life has reached the point where it is like a candle in the wind. It can be said that half of his body is buried in the ground.

Even so, the old man didn't forget to test Xu Wanjin's tone.

The friendship between the other party and Xu Wanjin really made Zhang Yifeng deeply admired.

"I see. I, Zhang Yifeng, can tell this senior that I have no intention of harming him at all when I follow Shopkeeper Xu back."

"It's just that I made a deal with him, and I need to enter the Immortal Tomb to get something..."

After Zhang Yifeng groaned, he directly informed Jinghong of his purpose of coming here and the deal he had reached with Xu Wanjin.

Hearing Zhang Yifeng's eloquent narration, Jinghong couldn't help but be surprised.

Before hearing this answer, he did think a lot about the answers Zhang Yifeng might give.

Either to shirk it, or to change the subject by talking about him.

But he never thought that the other party would tell him everything in such detail.

After hearing this statement, Jinghong had no other thoughts in his mind and just took a deep look at Zhang Yifeng.

"Wan Jin is really lucky to have friends like Mr. Zhang outside!"

Jinghong sighed, and when he looked at Zhang Yifeng, his eyes no longer showed the slightest hint of caution.

Zhang Yifeng's sincerity had already opened up Jinghong's defenses.

"Senior Jinghong, can you let me heal your injuries now?"

Zhang Yifeng chuckled upon hearing this.

"Of course you can."

Jinghong nodded, and Zhang Yifeng immediately stepped to Jinghong's side.

As soon as he got closer, Zhang Yifeng suddenly felt a torrent of demonic energy coming towards his face.

The surging demonic energy seemed to be swallowing up Zhang Yifeng for a moment and was extremely vicious.

"This...senior, the demonic energy in your body seems to be different from that of brother Yuan Qing?"

Zhang Yifeng suddenly felt strange and couldn't help asking.

"That Feiyu planted a demon seed in me specifically for one thing, trying to use this method to get me to reveal the whereabouts of that thing."

"The so-called demon seed is the pure demonic essence of the evil devil. It is extremely harmful to our rebel tribe."

"That's why I don't let Wan Jin and Yuan Qing get close to me rashly, so as not to be affected by this demonic element."

Jinghong sighed and told Zhang Yifeng the truth.

How could Jinghong not want to take a closer look at how his two children, whom he regarded as his own flesh and blood, had grown up after not seeing him for so many years?

However, he was very aware of the influence of the demon species on the rebels, and he did not dare to let the two of them get close to him.

Otherwise, you are very likely to be attacked by demons.

With his own majestic immortal energy, Jinghong was still able to maintain his current sober consciousness.

But if the two children, Wan Jin and Yuan Qing, were attacked by the demon species, they would lose all their sanity in an instant and become Fei Yu's demon servants.

Jinghong didn't want them to put themselves in danger, so he was so resistant to them just now.

"Zhang Xiaoyou, if we can't eradicate this demonic species, then let's face it. I've been living an ignoble existence for so many years just to see these two children again."

"Now that people have seen it, I no longer have any worries."

Jinghong spoke calmly, without any fear in the face of death.

In his heart, he was already a damned person.

As an old clan leader, he trained the entire Rebellious Clan's children, but he taught Fei Yu to become what he is now.

No matter what, Jinghong had no face to see his ancestors again, so it was a good choice to die here.

"Senior, can't you trust me?"

"Since I have taken over this matter, I will use all my strength to eradicate this evil from you!"

Zhang Yifeng said with a solemn expression.
