Chapter 3558
Just as Fade left, a thin figure carefully poked his head out from behind the Yuanyan Wood.
This figure was none other than Nine-fingered Devil.
Just now, the rest of the cultivators fled after seeing Fade's terrifying strength.
Nine-fingered Devil's first instinct was to flee as well. However, he was astute and immediately realized that he might be caught up. Therefore, he decided to go in the opposite direction and not towards the exit. Instead, he found a place to hide. Now that everyone had left, it seemed that Fade had also forgotten about him and left.
This meant that his plan was a success.
Nine-fingered Devil could not help but let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness I'm still alive!"
At the same time, he was also a little curious.
"Who on earth is that guy? It seems like he's just a self learner, yet he's so powerful! Don't tell me he is some old demon who has been in hiding for 10,000 years!"
"Forget it, I shouldn't dwell on it. This time, I did not make a wasted trip. My harvest is not bad!"
Nine-fingered Devil touched his storage ring and smiled.
After entering the Xuanshuang Valley, although the biggest treasure was taken away by Fade, he still managed to reap some benefits in troubled waters. His gains were quite good. "Now, it's time to leave!"
Nine-fingered Devil was preparing to leave.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind Nine-fingered Devil. "Old friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Ah..." The expression on Nine-fingered Devil's face changed drastically when he heard the voice. He did not dare to turn around. He quickly ran straight for the exit.
However, Fade, who was behind him, was even quicker. With a whoosh, he appeared in front of Nine-fingered Devil.
Nine-fingered Devil looked at Fade, who had appeared in front of him. His face stiffened and his expression changed drastically. "You, how did you..."
Fade said with a smile, "I thought you referred to me as your friend? Have you forgotten all about me?"
Nine-fingered Devil immediately dropped to his knees and knelt in front of Fade. Then, he handed over his storage ring, kowtowed, and begged, "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you." "I'll hand over all my treasures to you. I only beg you to be merciful and spare my life."
Fade was a little surprised. He did not expect the famous Nine- fingered Devil to beg for mercy. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
Nine-fingered Devil also noticed Fade's hesitation and immediately continued to say, "Master, I am also a self learner. There is no hatred between me and you."
"Moreover, I've lived for so many years and gone to many places. I know a lot of secrets. I'm sure it'll be very helpful to you, Master."
"Besides, I think you're wise and powerful. You must need someone to run errands for you. I'm willing to serve you."
Fade narrowed his eyes slightly and his heart skipped a beat.
Nine-fingered Devil was very sly, but what he said made sense. Although Fade's current strength was not bad, he was a wanted criminal in the Taeyoon World. He could definitely make use of him.
It was a good choice to subdue Nine-fingered Devil and make use of his service.
Thinking of this, Fade nodded slightly and said to Nine-fingered Devil, "I mean, I could spare your life."
"Many thanks..." Nine-fingered Devil hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
"Wait, I'm not done yet!" Fade said, "I have one condition. You have to serve me for 100
years!"
"100 years? Yes, I'm willing!" Nine-fingered Devil hesitated for a moment before agreeing immediately.
Fade then immediately took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Nine-fingered Devil. "Here, I want you to take this!"
"This..." Nine-fingered Devil did not dare to hesitate. He took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Fade's divine soul moved slightly, and Ninefingered Devil's face immediately changed. He covered his head and twisted it in pain.
"I made this pill. I'm the only person who has the antidote. If you dare to have a second thought, you know the consequences." Fade warned.
"Master, please spare my life. I will be loyal to you. I will never betray you!" Nine-fingered Devil kowtowed again.
"Retreat!" Fade retracted his divine soul and the pain Nine- fingered Devil was feeling immediately disappeared. "Let's go!" Fade flew towards the exit.
"Yes, Master!" Nine- fingered Devil was extremely respectful and immediately followed.
As they approached the exit, Nine-fingered Devil was about to go out when Fade suddenly thought of something and stopped him. "Wait a minute!" "What's wrong, Master?" Nine-fingered Devil asked.
Fade said, "When we go out later, you have to pretend that I'm a thug, and you're my boss. Do you understand?"
"Uh..." Nine-fingered Devil was taken aback for a moment. Then, he nodded.
Then, the two flew out.
There were quite a few people gathered outside of the valley. It consisted of people who originally
did not have a spot and people who had just fled in a hurry.
Everyone gathered together, and it was noisy. They were enthusiastically discussing what had just happened in the valley.
At this moment, there was a flash at the exit of the valley, and a figure came out. It was Fade.
Fade's face was full of vigilance. He mobilized his positive energy and looked around in preparation for battle. After making sure that there was no danger, he turned his head and said, "Mr. Nine-fingered, there's no danger!"
After hearing the voice, Nine-fingered Devil emerged from the valley. He waved his hand and left quickly from the scene. "Let's go!"
This scene was seen by many people on the scene. Everyone started discussing again.
"Isn't that Nine- fingered Devil and the self learner? They'll get the benefits in the end!"
"It seems like the self learner is Nine-fingered Devil's subordinate."
"I did not expect these two guys to hide it so well. They even tricked the four geniuses."
"As expected of Nine-fingered Devil. I haven't seen him for a long time. This time, he managed to pull off this stunt."
Some self learners who came out of the valley felt that the situation was not quite right.
"That's not right. I clearly remember seeing the self learner and Nine- fingered Devil fighting inside the valley."
"I doubt he's one of Nine- fingered Devil's men."
"Could it be that they are just putting on an act to deceive us?"
In short, Fade's idea worked.
At least, in most people's minds, Ninefingered Devil was the mastermind of this operation. Fade was just his helper.
In this way, Nine-fingered Devil was like his decoy. If Fade ever got into trouble, he would be able to pass the buck to him.
Fade did not immediately return to Danyaal's Burial Flame. Instead,
found another hidden cave, Sex Poe
a
magic formation, and asked the old devil to guard outside.
Then, Fade took out all his gains.
There were weapons, cultivation skills, martial arts techniques, armours, and even a lot of yuan stone.
Fade checked them one by one and sorted them out.
Most of them were of good quality, but they were of little use to Fade now.
However, the items he obtained from the three geniuses were not bad.
