Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Proceed with Caution_1

With that thought, Ye Fei, with his back to Venerate Muxue, said in a deep voice, "This is our first meeting, we can hardly talk about trust."

"But I consider myself a businessman, and I like making trades."

Upon hearing this, Venerate Muxue’s heart leaped into her throat.

Eager, Venerate Yitian quickly approached, "Young Brother Ye, how do you wish to trade?"

"Take us to Fire Island," Ye Fei turned around and got straight to the point, "In return, you may propose a condition to exchange."

After hearing this, Venerate Muxue and Venerate Yitian looked at each other again.

After a good while, Venerate Muxue heaved a deep sigh.

"Our condition is that once on Fire Island, do not kill the true disciples of the Pangu Sect."

At these words, Ye Fei’s eyebrows nearly knotted.

"What do you mean by ’true disciples of the Pangu Sect’?"

Venerate Muxue pursed her lips and immediately took out a badge with a red marking.

"Anyone who wears this badge is not to be killed," she said.

Ye Fei reached out to take the badge and examined it closely.

Clearly, this was different from the badges he had seen carried by the disciples of the Pangu Sect.

Not just the color, but the pattern and even the design were completely different.

Seemingly seeing the suspicion in Ye Fei’s eyes, Venerate Muxue quickly spoke up.

"The real disciples of the Pangu Sect are nothing like these vile, maniacal beasts."

"Yes!" Venerate Yitian hastened to add, "The true disciples of the Pangu Sect are chivalrous, their righteousness reaches the skies, they eradicate evil and promote good."

"Whereas those who commit all kinds of evil acts, pillaging and plundering, just calling themselves disciples of the Pangu Sect are nothing more than a disorganized mob, a band of outlaws gathered by Zhao Yongtian."

"They do not represent the Pangu Sect, and in fact, they are continuously tarnishing the century-old reputation of the Pangu Sect!"

After listening to this, Ye Fei showed a profound expression.

In his mind, the Pangu Sect was evil.

Ever since setting foot in this land, he had witnessed nothing but looting and slaughtering, atrocities beyond counting. The common people could not sustain a living, and everywhere lay ruins.

Yet now, the Pangu Sect that he was hearing about from these two was an entirely different concept.

No matter which version represented the Pangu Sect, the primary task now was to quietly get to Fire Island.

With this thought, Ye Fei nodded slightly to the two, fiddling with the red badge in his hand.

"I agree to your terms."

With Ye Fei’s consent, elation appeared on the faces of Venerate Muxue and Venerate Yitian.

Then, scrutinizing Ye Fei, Venerate Yitian said in a grave voice, "Young Brother Ye, if we are to take you to Fire Island, you can’t go in your current attire."

"Zhao Yongtian has completely lost his mind now."

"Not only is he bloodthirsty and brutally murderous, but he is also ambitious and audacious."

"He has gathered a group of top-tier powerhouses around him, and his command swells with tens of thousands of minions."

"His spies are not just stationed in Pingnang City, but nearly the entire Northern Border Yan Yun Province is under his control," he added.

At this, Venerate Yitian let out a wistful sigh.

"Therefore, our plan and actions must be flawless."

"If he detects even a whiff of a rumor, it could all be for naught, and none of us would be able to get out unscathed."

"More importantly," Venerate Muxue raised her head to look at Ye Fei, "the reason why Zhao Yongtian has kept Meng Sen alive without killing him is to bait you into his trap."

"He has laid a huge snare, and you walked right into it; we must be even more careful now."

"It seems that disguising ourselves is the only option," Ye Fei said meaningfully, "How about we dress up as disciples of the Pangu Sect?"

"That’s exactly what we mean," Venerate Muxue nodded eagerly, "but... the few from the Tianhai Sect..."

As she spoke, Venerate Muxue turned her head to look at He Xuan and the other two not far away.

"Since Zhao Yongtian is crazy and has killed more than a thousand of their people, they must bear deep hatred for him."

"Asking them to dress as disciples of the Pangu Sect... they might not..."

"Don’t worry about that," Ye Fei interrupted Venerate Muxue, his voice grave, "You just need to prepare the outfits."

After these words, Venerate Muxue turned her head to glance at Venerate Yitian.

"This area is under your jurisdiction, your word holds the most weight!"

"Alright!" Venerate Yitian nodded slightly, "I will go down the mountain to make preparations now; you teach them the secret signs and passwords of the Pangu Sect."

"Before nightfall, we will meet in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain!"

Leaving behind these words, Venerate Yitian gave Ye Fei a bow and then, with a light tap of his foot, floated down the mountain.

When evening came!

On the sea outside Pingnang City.

A brightly lit, small yacht sped along the route to Fire Island.

At the bow of the yacht, the dazzlingly charming Venerate Muxue, clad in flowing white, stood out against the sea breeze.

Naturally beautiful, her slender figure combined with the disposition of a martial artist made her extraordinarily stunning, like a goddess descending.

By her side stood a mysterious person in a black robe, wrapped tightly from head to toe, revealing only a pair of eyes.

On this person’s chest, there hung a contrasting red Pangu Sect badge, different from those of other disciples.

Indeed!

It was Ye Fei, who had covertly accompanied the yacht on its secret journey to Fire Island.
