Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Whoever Dares to Touch Them Will Surely Fight to the Death_1

Gazing at the surging waves ahead, the white-robed Venerate Muxue took a deep breath.

"Mr. Ye, could you inform me about Asi’s situation?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fei slightly frowned.

"There’s no one else here." Venerate Muxue turned her head to look at Ye Fei: "You don’t need to hold back!"

"I’m not holding back." Ye Fei slowly began to speak, his voice grave: "I am curious, why do you care about Asi?"

With her lips pursed, Venerate Muxue wrapped her arms around herself and looked ahead once more.

She seemed to hesitate as if debating whether to reveal a secret she’d harbored for many years.

After a long moment!

She thought over it again and again, finally made up her mind, and took another deep breath.

"My relationship with her is not ordinary—we’re as close as sisters, having shared life and death experiences!"

"I’m afraid it’s not that simple." Ye Fei stood with his hands behind his back, gazing ahead with piercing eyes: "Was it you who told her about her lineage?"

At these words, Venerate Muxue’s body suddenly trembled, looking at Ye Fei as if she were seeing a demon.

How did he know?

And to speak with such certainty?

"If you really are as close as sisters," Ye Fei said coldly: "then you shouldn’t have told her these things."

"Because with her current strength, she is utterly incapable of avenging the blood feud herself; it will only bring her more troubles. She might even do something foolish!"

"I regret it too!" Venerate Muxue said with a quivering voice: "But when she escaped from Fiery Island, she was seriously injured. I need to know her current situation, please tell me!"

Turning his head, Ye Fei looked at the anxious and worried expression on the beautiful face of Venerate Muxue, and the pleading in her eyes, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"If I’m alive, she naturally won’t die. But if I die, she surely won’t survive."

At this statement, Venerate Muxue’s complexion changed drastically.

"You... you mean, you’ve taken Asi as a hostage?"

"Ye Fei, do you have no conscience? She betrayed the Pangu Sect for you, and she’s also been so seriously injured. How could you..."

"Who said I took her as a hostage?" Ye Fei looked at Venerate Muxue with annoyance: "Are all the people from the Pangu Sect as foolish as you?"

Uh! Venerate Muxue was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Really, beauty without brains." Ye Fei glanced at Venerate Muxue and snorted, turning his head away.

Opening her mouth slightly, Venerate Muxue couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"I know you still don’t trust us."

"In fact, we didn’t expect you to trust us immediately."

"But I still have to remind you, in at most half an hour, we will arrive at Fiery Island."

"Once we’re on the island, you need to follow my lead; otherwise, our plan might completely fail."

"I’ve said it." Ye Fei, his arms still folded, looked ahead: "As long as I see the person I wish to see, our deal will be considered complete."

"I want to discuss a second deal with you now," Venerate Muxue said, her gaze fixed on Ye Fei.

"I don’t want to talk!" Ye Fei refused decisively: "And you might as well save your breath."

"No!" Venerate Muxue stubbornly met Ye Fei’s gaze: "We must discuss this deal; otherwise, even if you kill me, I will absolutely not cooperate."

After hearing this, Ye Fei looked at Venerate Muxue as one would look at a monkey.

"You’re so pretty, why would you need to act shamelessly?"

"Haven’t you heard the saying?" Venerate Muxue suddenly said playfully: "’Women and villains are capricious; I’m merely a woman, not like you men who have your so-called way of the gentleman.’"

With a snort, Ye Fei’s hands clutched the railing, and he fell silent for a while.

"Let’s cut to the chase!"

"Kill Zhao Yongtian!" Venerate Muxue said, staring at Ye Fei, and pronounced each word distinctly: "In exchange, the entire Pangu Sect will submit to you and obey your command."

Ye Fei, still gripping the railing, turned his head with a strange look in his eyes.

What kind of deal was this? It was clearly a pledge of allegiance.

But this beautiful woman spoke of it with such righteousness.

It seems that indeed ’women and villains are capricious’!

"Every word I’ve said is the truth," Venerate Muxue declared, facing Ye Fei’s scrutinizing gaze: "Today, on Piaofeng Mountain, Yitian Venerate and I have made our stance clear."

"We want things to return to how they should be and have no desire to be dragged into the madness of Zhao Yongtian’s funeral march."

"The Pangu Sect, after all, is a hundred-year-old institution in the north of Daxia, once glorious. We can’t allow its reputation to be destroyed by Zhao Yongtian’s hands."

"As people of Pangu Sect, we are bound to uphold the century-long reputation and this legacy."

After listening to Venerate Muxue’s impassioned words, Ye Fei couldn’t help but laugh with a sneer.

"How do you presume I’d be able to kill Zhao Yongtian?"

"Your strength!" Venerate Muxue said, fervently watching Ye Fei: "If we look across all of Daxia, aside from those half-immortal recluses, I believe only you can battle him."

"Moreover, he’s already set his sights on you."

"Even if you don’t want to kill him, he will kill you, including your family!"

At these last words, a chill flashed through Ye Fei’s eyes, and a murderous aura suddenly dispersed from his body.

Family, his wife and daughter are his untouchables.

Anyone who dares to touch them, Ye Fei would fight with all his might!

In that moment, Venerate Muxue, who was closest to Ye Fei, clearly felt herself enveloped in a terrifying murderous aura as though she was plunged into hell itself, shivering uncontrollably.

So much so, she looked at Ye Fei with terror, her beautiful eyes filled with panic.

"Fine!" Ye Fei stayed silent for a long while, then coldly spoke: "I agree to your terms. But if the Pangu Sect does not heed my command, I will eradicate you root and branch, sparing none!"

Dropping these words, Ye Fei shook his black robe and hurriedly turned to leave.

Whirling around suddenly, Venerate Muxue watched Ye Fei’s departing figure, involuntarily sucking in a breath of cold air.

This man, too terrifying!

His strength, his wisdom, his demeanor, like a reaper stepping out from hell, was deeply intimidating, like a thorn in the side.

Asi has fallen for such a man, should she feel happy, or should she be worried?
