178: I've received the things, please keep the gifts

Chu Feng stared at the Scarlet-Clad Girl’s fair palm.

It was a special scroll shimmering with golden light.

Laws served as the paper, and Dao Rhymes as the words; ancient characters were written on the scroll in a flowing, elegant script, like a Dragon soaring and a Phoenix dancing.

Welcome the Heavenly Emperor to the Hongmeng Divine Alliance.

His eyes were as still as an ancient well, unmoved.

Not far away, Floating Slaughter Sword Master descended from the sky, and upon seeing this scene, his expression turned grim.

He couldn't clearly see the words on it due to the Law interference, but that was his hongmeng book!

This woman just gave it to him!

And Hong'er?

You just met for the first time; do you need to be that intimate?

“Oh?”

“Floating Tu, look, isn’t that flute the Nine Green Immortal Shepherd Flute?”

“Didn’t you give that to that dog-damned Heavenly Dao before?”

The little gourd at his waist asked in a voice only they, one person and one gourd, could hear.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s eyes changed, quickly locking onto the emerald-green flute in Su Ji’s palm, his eyes blazing with monstrous fury.

Damn it!

It’s not ‘is it or isn’t it’.

This was the high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure he had previously dedicated to the Heavenly Dao!

Why was it in this Chu Feng’s hands? And he even gave it to that hussy Su Ji!?

Aren’t you a star fury? Are you even worthy of a high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure?

Truly shameless!

Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s emotions fluctuated more than ever before.

After his Breakthrough to the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm, his ruthlessness was shattered!

Emotions were very prone to swinging to extremes!

The moment he thought of his own belongings being held by someone else and given to Su Ji,

He felt an overwhelming killing intent, wanting to send both Su Ji and Chu Feng on their way.

The little gourd was still complaining at this moment: “It’s truly too much. That woman’s enthusiastic attitude, compared to her cold, condescending demeanor towards us, is like two different people!”

Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s Face grew even darker!

The little gourd was right.

Hong’er’s performance was too enthusiastic.

He had never seen Hong’er so enthusiastic before!

As soon as they met, they wanted to discuss the Dao of music.

Will they also go boating on the lake and tour the myriad Great Worlds together in the future?

This stark contrast in attitude made Floating Slaughter Sword Master feel inexplicably frustrated.

His killing intent grew even more intense!

The little gourd was still continuously spouting: “And it’s not just me talking.”

“This Hongmeng Divine Alliance is truly unfair.”

“It’s an invitation to join, but in what way is this Chu Feng superior to you?”

“His talent isn't as good as yours, his strength isn't as strong as yours, he’s obsessed with women, and I don't think his Dao Heart is anything special.”

“Why did the Hongmeng Divine Alliance choose him?”

“You made such great contributions, yet back then, they still made you complete missions and pass the Hongmeng Divine Alliance’s trials!”

“Why can he join directly?”

“Enough.”

Floating Slaughter Sword Master coldly reprimanded: “Stop disturbing my Dao Heart.”

“I’m giving that woman Face; I won’t act now.”

“Once she leaves, I’ll make my move and reclaim what belongs to me.”

His gaze fell on Chu Feng and Su Ji, then swept past them to Su Cheng and Fei Yang, gradually expanding to encompass the entire Sword Domain.

A junior like a frog in a well, who had never even seen how vast the outside world was.

Just because of a little bit of Luck, he wanted to join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance.

If it were elsewhere, he wouldn't care.

But this was the Sword Domain, this was the Immortal Realm!

He was the Sword Master.

The King of the entire Sword Domain.

A legend of the Immortal Realm.

The first person in history to repel the Nine Nether Great Demons, end the conflicts on the Tian Yuan Battlefield, and break the extreme limits of the Sword Dao.

As long as he said no, no one would dare to defy him.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master retracted his gaze, bringing it back to Chu Feng and Hong’er.

At this moment, the Scarlet-Clad Girl, after taking out the hongmeng book, made another astonishing move.

She flipped her wrist.

Thump.

A soft sound.

A one-meter-tall treasure chest, entirely cast from Divine Stone, landed between them.

As soon as the treasure chest was released, its lid automatically opened.

Instantly, the chest glowed with a dazzling array of colors.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s pupils contracted.

These glows were all circulating supreme Sword Intent!

Looking closely, beneath the glow were smooth, round gems, like pigeon eggs.

He immediately knew what these things in the chest were!

Sword Pills containing supreme Sword Intent!

Priceless!

Every Sword Pill was directly connected to the Sword Dao.

In the vast Great World, treasures related to the Great Dao were not only precious but also rare.

He just glanced at them and realized that these Sword Pills were all of the highest grade!

From Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s perspective,

In other Great Worlds, a Sword Pill was valuable enough to exchange for an immortal king spiritual treasure.

But now, Hong’er waved her hand, and there was a whole chest of them!

There were at least several hundred in one chest!

Too extravagant!

As the Sword Master, he also possessed quite a few Sword Pills.

But definitely not as many as a whole chest.

Even he felt an overwhelming shock in his heart, which for a moment even dispelled his full-blown anger.

Hong’er’s elegant voice then sounded: “Oh, Fellow Daoist Chu, a small token of welcome. Please accept it.”

A small… token of welcome…

Floating Slaughter Sword Master: “…”

He didn’t have much interaction with Hong’er before, only knowing that the Hongmeng Divine Alliance was an extremely terrifying force, possessing countless unimaginable powerhouses and extremely formidable resources.

But it was only now that he truly witnessed the Hongmeng Divine Alliance’s immense wealth.

The welcome gift was a chest of top-grade Sword Pills!

The little gourd couldn’t help but complain again at this moment: “This woman truly shows preferential treatment.”

“When she met us back then, why wasn’t there a welcome gift?”

Floating Slaughter Sword Master felt even more uncomfortable hearing this.

He coldly rebuked: “If there isn’t, then there isn’t. Sword Pills are useless to me. When I join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, I won’t even look at such things.”

Hong’er was just a minor character in the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, yet she was so generous!

What about the major figures in the Hongmeng Divine Alliance?

This kind of foundation, even if all the forces in the Immortal Realm and the Sword Domain were combined, they wouldn’t amount to a fingernail of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance!

Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s longing for the Hongmeng Divine Alliance grew even stronger.

Having reached his current stage,

Even if he could invest Luck, he had already reached an extreme.

He had no clue how to proceed on his path; relying on his own exploration was far inferior to finding a reliable top-tier force.

The Hongmeng Divine Alliance was the best choice!

Opportunities are seized!

No matter what method or means, I must join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance!

He kept telling himself this in his heart.

“Hongmeng Divine Alliance?”

“What is that? The name doesn’t sound good, no interest.”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I’ve received the items; please keep your good intentions.”

At this moment.

A faint voice sounded.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master watched the Black-robed Man with a somewhat dazed expression, as he raised a hand to take the Sword Pills and the hongmeng book, directly rejecting Hong’er’s invitation.

Rejected?

The opportunity I’ve dreamed of, you just reject it?

Do you know what the Hongmeng Divine Alliance means?

Floating Slaughter Sword Master was stunned!

He never expected Chu Feng to reject the invitation!

His eyes were fixed on Hong’er.

With Hong’er’s arrogant and condescending nature, she would probably be furious, right?

At this moment, the little gourd also spoke up. It mockingly said: “I thought this Heavenly Emperor was some incredible big shot, but it seems he’s a short-sighted fool.”

Floating Slaughter Sword Master subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Between the Hongmeng Divine Alliance and that chest of top-grade Sword Pills, this guy actually chose the latter; calling him stupid was an understatement.

Hong’er was also stunned.

Her fiery red glazed eyes flickered, rippling with surprise.

She was a little surprised, not expecting this handsome man in front of her to do such a thing?

“Hehe heh.”

She reacted, then covered her mouth, letting out a silvery bell-like laugh: “Fellow Daoist Chu, you are truly humorous.”

“What do you mean, ‘I’ve received the items, take back your good intentions’?”

“Did you get it backward?”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. Listen to me first. It’s not too late to consider after you know what the Hongmeng Divine Alliance is.”

Hearing Hong’er’s patient explanation,

Floating Slaughter Sword Master: ???

Is this still the arrogant woman I know?

Why can her attitude be so different for the same matter?
