"That’s right."
The Ghost Emperor glanced a bit solemn as he nodded, then explained, "It is said that demons have appeared at the West City Auction House, disguising themselves and infiltrating Peace Square entirely.
The current situation is primarily led by the West City Auction House, contacting major powers in the square, conducting a census and inspection of all individuals in the square.
Especially for us cultivators who are preparing to leave Peace Square and board the cross-domain train, the inspection and census are becoming increasingly stringent."
Speaking of this, the Ghost Emperor’s expression grew even more solemn as if reminded of sothing.
He continued, "But based on my judgnt, the specifics of this matter are likely not as simple as they appear. There must be so aspects we do not know about."
Listening to the Ghost Emperor’s explanation, Zhu Fei suddenly felt a chill rise up his spine.
He hardly needed to think: the occurrence of these events was definitely related to him!
Or, to be more specific, it must be connected to the Heavenly Spirit Liquid that he had taken out earlier!
Zhu Fei suddenly realized that he had underestimated Elder Hu, or perhaps the greed of the entire West City Auction House.
Not only did they secretly investigate him after the event, but now they’ve allied with the major powers to inspect the whole Peace Square.
This scale, this posture, these tactics, are simply...
Zhu Fei was at a loss for words. He could fully imagine, had the Ghost Emperor not told him about these matters, he might blindly stumble into the situation unaware, likely revealing so flaws.
And if it reached that point, no matter how strong or skilled he was, it would likely be to no avail.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fei felt imnse gratitude towards the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan.
At present, he looked at the Ghost Emperor, pondering slightly, then turned his gaze to the two identity jade talismans placed before him, asking with so confusion:
"Brother Ghost Emperor, thank you for telling this. These circumstances are indeed very important to . But now, what’s this...?"
Zhu Fei was sowhat bewildered, not understanding why the Ghost Emperor, all of a sudden, would give him these two extrely precious identity jade talismans.
But that wasn’t the most important thing. The most crucial aspect was the Ghost Emperor’s true identity.
Although the Ghost Emperor hadn’t disclosed it, Zhu Fei knew clearly how precious the two identity jade talismans he intended to give him truly were.
Just the value of these two talismans alone amounted to twenty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals.
Twenty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals; if the Ghost Emperor were just an ordinary cultivator, it would be absolutely impossible for him to possess them, let alone gift them to soone else.
Obviously, the Ghost Emperor was unaware of Zhu Fei’s changes during this period. Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, he simply smiled faintly, saying:
"It’s nothing. Brother Zhu, didn’t you tell before that you wanted to leave this Chaotic City? So I thought of finding an opportunity, and if possible, to help you out.
Fortunately, through so recent operations, I managed to get these two identity jade talismans for you. Rest assured, these two jade talismans an nothing to ; there’s no need to feel burdened."
It indeed was the case. Though helping Zhu Fei acquire these two identity jade talismans cost the Ghost Emperor a certain price, considering his true identity, it was rely an issue of so Immortal Crystals.
However, Zhu Fei thought otherwise.
In his view, the fact that the Ghost Emperor could help him acquire these two identity jade talismans firstly confird that he truly considered Zhu Fei a friend.
Furthermore, the Ghost Emperor’s identity, as he previously speculated, couldn’t possibly be that of an ordinary cultivator if he managed to obtain items worth nearly twenty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals.
The reason for not revealing the truth may have been to avoid burdening him ntally.
This Ghost Emperor, indeed, seed like a friend worth making.
Thinking this in his heart, Zhu Fei didn’t imdiately show it on his face but suddenly reached out, took out a jade bottle from his body, pushing it in front of the Ghost Emperor with a smile, saying:
"Since that’s the case, I won’t be polite to Brother Ghost Emperor. By the way, I noticed the two of you may have so cultivation flaws. Here’s a little sothing that might help; I hope you both won’t refuse."
"Hm?"
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan were slightly taken aback.
Truth be told, both of them were Spirit Cultivators, requiring different items for cultivation compared to regular cultivators.
Not to say that items used by regular cultivators were ineffective, but many common items indeed had little effect on them.
However, now, Zhu Fei claid he took out sothing that could solve their cultivation flaws, imdiately making them glance at each other in surprise.
Their first thought was that Zhu Fei didn’t want to take their offering without reciprocation, intending to use sothing he considered precious to exchange for the favor they gave.
This imdiately made the duo feel a bit uneasy.
However, despite feeling uneasy, the two didn’t want to disregard Zhu Fei’s gesture.
The Ghost Emperor smiled, directly taking the jade bottle from Zhu Fei’s hand, while opening the cap, speaking:
"Brother Zhu, you’re being too polite. Actually, there’s no need for this between us; as friends, so things don’t require..."
The mont the words reached halfway, the Ghost Emperor abruptly halted, his eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief!
"This, this, this... what is this...?"
In an instant, the Ghost Emperor imdiately sealed the jade bottle and raised his hand, casting over a hundred prohibition spells on it.
After doing these, he looked at Zhu Fei, visibly unable to believe, even stamring over his words.
"Brother Zhu, you, you, you... what is this...?"
Upon witnessing the Ghost Emperor’s reaction, surprise flickered in Fan Yan’s eyes.
He didn’t understand what exactly Zhu Fei had given that could make the usually composed Ghost Emperor suddenly lose his composure like this.
Contrarily, Zhu Fei appeared quite calm, smiling at the Ghost Emperor, nodding as he spoke:
"Brother Ghost Emperor, your guess is correct, it’s that item. I hope Brother Ghost Emperor can keep it confidential for in the future."
"Hiss!"
Despite having suspicions, hearing Zhu Fei’s confirmation still made the Ghost Emperor involuntarily draw a cold breath.
This wasn’t Zhu Fei repaying a favor; clearly, he bestowed upon them a trendous favor instead!
