"Don't give me your human tricks! When I was imprisoned here, I didn't know there was Confucius, and even King Wen didn't exist yet! But... well, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Fang Yun knew that Fu Yue had something important to tell him, so he remained silent on the surface and secretly observed the ice hall, trying to find where Fu Yue was, but in the end he found that there was no trace of him.
"You're right. The minds of you humans and the monsters are very different. The monsters are too dumb, and the monsters are too stupid. After thinking it over, I can only seek cooperation with the humans. In order to get out of the Fifth Corridor, you are willing to cooperate with the monsters. What do you think of me?"
Fang Yun felt puzzled and his first thought was to refuse. The other party was a great demon king who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Why did he choose to cooperate with a scholar like him? It was like a king of a country suddenly saying that he wanted to cooperate with an ordinary person. This was really hard to reassure.
Fang Yun remained calm on the surface and said, "I wonder how Senior Fu Yue wants to cooperate? Besides, I am just a scholar, I may not be qualified to cooperate with you."
"Since I have come to you, you are naturally qualified to cooperate. It is not easy for the human race to reach the fifth corridor, and you can bring so many people here, more than all the human race who have come to the Comet Corridor before, including those Jinshi who entered from the second star city."
"I wonder what kind of cooperation you want me to have?" Fang Yun asked.
"What do you think an ancient demon that has been suppressed here for who knows how many years wants to do most?"
"Of course, leave." Fang Yun blurted out.
"Well said! I have tried to cooperate with many monsters, but all failed in the end. There are too few humans who can make it this far, and there is no one like you who can comprehend the power of some star fragments."
"The power of star fragments? Do you mean comets?" Fang Yun asked.
"Hmph! That shameless demon ancestor! Not only did he steal my father's star fragment, he also deliberately put it into a comet to conceal his whereabouts and created this comet corridor. Finally, he wanted to... Anyway, he coveted the treasure of our clan, imprisoned me here, and suppressed me with the coldness of the stars. As long as the star fragment is still there, I will never escape."
"This..." Fang Yun didn't expect that the origin of the Comet Corridor was completely different from the story circulating in the demon world.
"I know you won't believe it, but you will eventually understand. So, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"A scholar risked offending the demon ancestor to save a great demon king. Why do you think this scholar chose to die in this way?" Fang used a euphemism to express that he could not agree to it.
"When the Demon Ancestor sealed me, he said that if I could leave, he would let me go. So don't worry, saving me will not only not offend the Demon Ancestor who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, but you will even gain my friendship! The friendship of Fu Yue, who is about to be canonized as a saint!"
Fang Yun was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized. No wonder Fu Yue didn't beat around the bush at all, and no wonder he came directly to him, it turned out that he wanted to canonize him.
"Congratulations, senior, for finally getting what you deserve!" Fang Yun was sincerely happy for Fu Yue. After being suppressed for so many years, he was finally able to take this step he had always dreamed of.
"The bitterness is not over yet, and the sweetness has not come yet. How about it, are you interested in cooperating?" There was a hint of pride and complacency in Fu Yue's voice.
"The vague 'possible' semi-saint friendship is not enough for me to take the risk." Even if the reason for betraying Yue was very sufficient, Fang Yun did not want to take such a big risk.
"What would you think if I told you that you can never become the King of Stars?" Fu Yue's words were meaningful.
"Why?" Although Fang Yun didn't completely believe it, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Of course I can't tell you. Do you think I would just exchange the so-called semi-saint friendship with you? You underestimate me."
"Then could you please reveal some information so that I can be prepared?"
"It's related to that frost dog. If you cooperate with me, I have a way to solve the problem of the frost dog, and then you can compete with other monsters for the star throne. If you don't cooperate with me, then just wait and see." The voice was full of laughter.
"Excuse me, Senior, what exactly does the Frost Hound do? Is it responsible for guarding the Star Throne?"
"I guess so. Only by defeating the Frost Hound once can you sit on the Star Throne. The Frost Hound was originally very powerful, but in order to be immortal, it sacrificed its great power. Otherwise, you demon generals would not be able to defeat it."
"Senior, what you mean is that the frost dog that might have treated everyone equally may have deviated from the original intention of the demon ancestor and can no longer remain impartial?"
"It's not just unfair, it can become your biggest enemy! I can guarantee that even if an immortal frosthound is far inferior to its heyday, it will not be a problem to kill all the demon barbarians in the Comet Corridor."
Fang Yun got a headache when he heard the word "immortality". No one in the two worlds would mention this word casually, but once someone said it, it meant it would be very difficult to deal with.
"What about those two stone lions?"
"Just like they can't control me, they can't control the things happening in the Seventh Corridor. Besides, there are some things they can't control either."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. The title of Star King is already very rare. If someone can even control that frost dog, it means that he may have mastered the secret of the core of the Comet Corridor, and even has a close relationship with the Demon Ancestor. It is natural for such a demon to become the Star King." Fang Yun used the real and fake skills of negotiation when he spoke.
"You are quite generous. I heard from several demon barbarians in the fifth corridor that Long Ling will definitely wait for you at the entrance of the sixth corridor for a while. If you don't go, he will go to compete for the Star King. Once he becomes the Star King, the first thing he will do is to catch you and humiliate you. I am very curious why you have the confidence to face that dragon barbarian."
"It's nothing. I just know that when my human race was at its weakest, the demons and barbarians couldn't kill all of my human race. Now my human race is growing stronger day by day. Whether it's Longling or the Dragon Barbarians, even if all the demons want to kill me, I am fearless!"
"Humph, that sounds nice. When you really face Long Ling, I hope you can be as calm as this."
"I am so calm in front of my senior, so I can remain calm in front of Long Ling as well!"
"You are quite good at talking. Since you are a human, you will neither flee nor fight, and prefer to solve problems in your own way. Tell me, what will it take for you to cooperate with me?"
"Let's not talk about whether I decide to cooperate with you. Let's just say that under ideal circumstances, you and I should follow the principle of equal exchange. You should give me a reward to the extent that I can help you. Of course, the reverse is also true for me. However, I don't seem to be asking for anything from you."
"Did you see that tiger demon?"
"I see. I understand. You don't care about the demon barbarians who can't help you, but I am different. Otherwise, you wouldn't shock me by killing a Holy Son."
"I can intimidate you, but I killed it because of its bloodline. I'm curious, where do you get the courage to speak to me like that?"
Fang Yun immediately said, "Because if I don't have the courage to speak to you like this, my life will be like that of the Tiger Demon Saint Son, and you will use it to intimidate those who you think are more capable than me."
"Alas... The human race is formidable. They have such knowledge at such a young age. If I had been half as smart as you, I would not have been suppressed for thousands of years. Very good, I look forward to working with you even more. I hope you can go to the blood vein pressure spring. After thousands of years, the blood vein has been weakened to the extreme. As long as you can lead the water to flush the blood vein and help me destroy a blood vein spring, I will have a chance to escape. And I will not only send you directly through the fifth corridor, but also teach you how to deal with the frost dogs."
"Please let me think about it, senior." Fang Yun said.
"Then think about it carefully. I have plenty of time!" Fu Yue said.
Fang Yun frowned in thought, and Fu Yue's voice sounded again.
"The reason why I chose you first is not because you are so outstanding, but because you have a mist butterfly that has just transformed. It has eaten too many holy fruits and needs to absorb the power of weak water, strange wind and other strange powers to absorb the power of holy fruits. Even the coldness of the stars has become its target of absorption. You just need to put the mist butterfly into the cold spring, and when it wakes up from its slumber, in addition to strange wind and weak water, it can also obtain the power of coldness. Of course, it can make the blood vein spring be destroyed faster."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior."
"I hope you won't let me down. Those demons who once cooperated with me never contacted me again after leaving Comet Corridor."
"What methods did you use to cooperate before? Did you also use the method of attracting cold springs?"
"How could they be as smart as you, to be able to sense the coldness of the stars. I helped them pass the fifth corridor, and then gave them some small items, or told them some secrets from ancient times, and let them explore on their own. Unfortunately, no one really tried to save me, even though some of them were already famous in the demon world."
"No wonder hardly anyone in the demon world mentions you. Even Dou Ji only knows about your general situation and doesn't know about your escape. No demon barbarian dares to publicize that he has joined forces with the ancient demon to fight against the demon ancestor."
"It's not a confrontation, it's just helping me. What's more, the Comet Corridor was shaken a few months ago. I suspect there will be changes here. If I don't get away quickly, I will probably die here!"
"How long will this change take? Nothing will happen within a few days, right?"
"Not sure." Fu Yue said.
Fang Yun knew what Fu Yue was hiding, and suddenly thought of the three Sons of the Holy Ruins, and asked, "Who is the most senior among your collaborators now?"
Fu Yue suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Demon King! If he hadn't been noticed by the Demon Saint and hadn't received great benefits, and his strength was only slightly worse than mine, the first thing I would have done after leaving the Comet Corridor would have been to kill him! Back then, I saw that he had the talent of a Demon Saint, so I cooperated with him and even told him some ancient secrets, but after he left the Comet Corridor, he never stopped contacting me!"
Fang Yun said: "As far as I know, one of his sons is here."
"Well, I have long sensed his son through the power of blood. I asked that little barbarian, the Demon King did not let his son contact me, so I killed his son! Humph, it was in vain that I trusted him so much and told him the biggest secret. If it weren't for me, he would now be just a demon king with decent strength, and there is no way he could become the number one demon under the demon saint in the demon world!" (To be continued...)
