"Evil Spirit King, you are only trapping yourself!"
Chu Feng watched its soul body shrink smaller and smaller, his heart settling with assurance. As long as he eliminated this Evil Spirit King, he could rescue Pu Fazheng.
By then, it would be a great achievement, and his status within the Sect would definitely be solidified.
If Pu Fazheng had even a bit of gratitude, he could become Chu Feng’s backer. A mere Steward Mu Kun would be flattened in a minute.
The Evil Spirit King could soon no longer hold on, pitifully begging, "Hero, please spare me, will you?"
Seeing that Chu Feng was unswayed by compassion, it pleaded again, "If you spare me, I can give you a treasure. It’s here in this valley..."
Chu Feng remained unmoved. The Evil Spirit King was desperate; if the burning continued, it would be charred alive.
"If you are willing to let me go, I could serve as your servant..."
Chu Feng immediately stopped burning it, but still wrapped it with Abnormal Fire.
"Should have said so earlier. Want to be my servant? Well, let’s see what skills you have. If you’re trash, I’m not interested!" Chu Feng’s words almost caused the Evil Spirit King to die from anger.
It was the king of Evil Spirit Valley, who after countless years of gestation, strife, and cultivation, had emerged victorious to become the Evil Spirit King.
Now, it was actively offering to serve this humble youth as a servant, and yet the latter was still being choosy, doubting its capabilities.
With its life in Chu Feng’s hands, even if the Evil Spirit King was infuriated, it had to endure.
It quickly touted its abilities, "My current strength can barely contend with a Sword Saint. Against other evil spirits, I am absolutely victorious; just one press of the King’s Mark, and they must kneel and kowtow..."
After a long explanation, Chu Feng reluctantly accepted this Evil Spirit King.
"Master, thank you for sparing my life! From now on, I am your servant; if you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west," the Evil Spirit King fawned over Chu Feng.
"Master, now that I am your servant, you can let me out, right?" the Evil Spirit King pleaded.
"Cunning demon, do you think I am a fool? Empty words, you won’t acknowledge them. Once you run out, will you still consider me your master?" Chu Feng’s voice was bone-chillingly cold.
The Evil Spirit King, facing such an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, knew that any trickery would be a futile effort.
It could only put on a gloomy face and say, "Master, you must trust me! What do you want me to do so that you will believe me?" Its eyes rolled around wildly.
"Being a servant, you must have the awareness of a servant. It’s not about how I will believe you, but how you can make me believe!"
"If you can’t make me believe, then I’m sorry, you can only be burned to death!"
Chu Feng, ruthless and decisive, controlled the Abnormal Fire again, burning it.
"Squeak... Master, spare me, spare my life! I have a way, a way for you to trust me and never betray you," the Evil Spirit King screamed, repeatedly begging for mercy.
"Speak, what way?" Chu Feng pressed.
"Forge a Soul Contract, should I betray, I shall immediately turn to ash!" The Evil Spirit King knew that playing mind games with Chu Feng was a dead end.
It immediately offered the method that would make Chu Feng trust it.
After Chu Feng stopped burning it, it immediately chanted a lengthy, ancient spell, "Heavens above, earth below, I am the Evil Spirit King Mokeboer Borge..., I wish to form a master-servant contract with the human youth Chu Feng, vowing never to betray. If I break this covenant, I shall turn to dust, never to reincarnate!"
As the Evil Spirit King chanted the ancient contract spell, it offered up a strand of its most precious Lifebound Spirit, forming a unique Rune that merged into Chu Feng’s soul.
Chu Feng shuddered sharply, and then, he felt himself becoming the absolute master of the Evil Spirit King.
With just a thought, he could immediately know all the thoughts of the Evil Spirit King.
And he could control its life and death.
"If only it were earlier, you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much! Get out!" After Chu Feng subdued the Evil Spirit King, he was in a great mood.
This was indeed a powerful ally.
And the kind that could be used on special occasions. It was a Spiritual Body, which was very convenient to carry around.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the now-subdued Evil Spirit King respectfully floating in front of him, waiting for his orders.
"Disperse them all! Didn’t you say you had a treasure to offer me?" After Chu Feng had the Evil Spirit King disperse all the mountain spirits and wild monsters, he was still fixated on the treasure mentioned by the Evil Spirit King.
"Master, I was deceiving you... Ahhh..." The Evil Spirit King had barely finished speaking when it screamed in agony.
"Really, no treasure?" Chu Feng asked coldly, pressing for an answer.
"Even if you kill me, it’s useless. I truly don’t have any treasures. If Medicinal Herbs can be considered treasures, then not far ahead, there are indeed two Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Herbs."
The Evil Spirit King honestly confessed.
Following its lead, Chu Feng quickly arrived behind the altar in a dark area, carrying the still unconscious Pu Fazheng.
He saw a water puddle about an acre wide ahead, where the water was strikingly black, emitting bursts of Freezing Yin air.
In the middle of the puddle, there were two golden lotuses growing.
Although there were only two and not very large, merely the size of an adult’s palm, Chu Feng was still extremely excited to see them.
"These lotuses are Taiyin Golden Lotuses, which only appear in such special abysses. Normally, an ordinary one growing for a hundred years is already quite impressive. Ten thousand years is unimaginable."
With these lotuses, Chu Feng only needed to find some additional auxiliary medicinal materials to refine the Heavenly Reversal Vein Elixir!
This was incredibly useful for Chu Feng.
It could definitely come in handy for reclaiming the Nine Yang Sword Veins in the future. Using the Heavenly Reversal Vein Elixir could greatly increase the success rate of reclaiming the Nine Yang Sword Veins. Especially since Prince Jianyun had stolen Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Sword Veins for so many years.
"This water is the famous Yama Water, and ordinary people cannot touch it. Otherwise, the consequences would be grave. Minor cases result in severe illness, and severe cases in death."
Chu Feng, with his extensive knowledge, naturally recognized the peril of this Black Water.
"Master, Little Spirit is willing to serve you and retrieve those two Taiyin Golden Lotuses. Just... just, may I ask for one as a reward, because if I consume it, I have a chance to advance to Demon Eye Evil Spirit King."
These two Taiyin Golden Lotuses had been preserved till today without being eaten by other Evil Spirits or mountain spirits and wild monsters.
This was because the Evil Spirit King diligently guarded them, wanting to keep them for its own consumption.
Now, in order to please Chu Feng, it could only offer up the two golden lotuses.
"You are now my servant, so rewarding you with one is not a problem. Go ahead!" Chu Feng was always generous with his own people.
Although the Evil Spirit King had just started following him, Chu Feng was more than happy to help it enhance its strength.
Soon, the two Taiyin Golden Lotuses were gathered.
This Black Water was deadly to humans, but it was wonderful water for Evil Spirits. It could be used for bathing and condensing the Spiritual Body.
The Evil Spirit King probably treated this pool as its personal bathhouse.
