The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 984 Hidden
Du Yu reminded Honghuang Tiandao that he felt an evil force lurking in the Honghuang world.

But the other party didn't take it seriously and asked, "Oh, when did you find out about this?"

Du Yu was a little surprised by his attitude, but he did not show it. He said, "Daoyou, you know that my Daotian Palace is located between the boundary wall and the world node, so I am aware of the fluctuations in the void."

"What did you see, fellow Daoist?" asked Honghuang Tiandao.

Du Yu shook his head and said, "No, there is none. It's just that when I was in seclusion, I felt an evil force passing through the boundary wall and entering this world, but I have no idea what it is."

"So that's how it is. I'm afraid this is the purpose of your coming to my Jiuxiao Palace." Honghuang Tiandao said.

"Yeah. I'm a little worried that it will collude with some cultivators to harm the prehistoric world." Du Yu said.

Honghuang Tiandao nodded and said, "Although I don't feel anything, I believe what you said. I also understand your concerns."

"I'm glad you understand, fellow Daoist. It will be good for everyone if we eliminate it in the bud," Du Yu said.

"So, fellow Daoist, what do you want me to do?" asked Honghuang Tiandao.

Du Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "At the moment, I am not sure where the evil power is hiding. All I can do is remind you to pay more attention to it."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. If I find any clues, I will inform you as soon as possible." Honghuang Tiandao said sincerely.

"Then I feel relieved. If you and I work together, I believe there is nothing we can't accomplish in this ancient world." Du Yu said with a smile.

"This is natural." said Honghuang Tiandao.

"Fellow Daoist, there is one more thing." Du Yu changed the subject.

Honghuang Tiandao was not surprised and said, "You can talk about it, fellow Daoist."

"Actually, it's still the deal we made before. Are you willing to continue..." Du Yu asked.

"Of course, what does fellow Taoist want this time?" Honghuang Tiandao said with a smile.

"Hongmeng purple energy." Du Yu said bluntly.

Honghuang Tiandao pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Daoyou, when I traded four strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi with you, it was already my limit. This..."

"I don't want much, just one strand is enough." Du Yu said.

"Um, what do you plan to trade, fellow Daoist? I have to say it before, the value of the law fragments cannot be compared with the Hongmeng Purple Qi." Honghuang Tiandao said.

"You're right. I did take advantage of you in the previous transaction. But I will never let you suffer any loss this time." Du Yu said.

After saying that, he reached out with his big hand and took out a wooden box from the system space and handed it over.

“What is this...?” Honghuang Tiandao looked puzzled but still took the wooden box. He just opened a gap and felt the breath escaping. His face couldn't help but change.

"How is it? Is it worth a wisp of Hongmeng purple energy?" Du Yu asked.

"Fellow Daoist, are you really willing to exchange it for a wisp of primordial purple energy?" Honghuang Tiandao asked anxiously.

"Of course, I'm not joking with you. The reason I took it out is just to compensate you for your loss last time." Du Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." said Honghuang Tiandao.

"Why are you so polite, fellow Daoist? You and I have different goals. If we work together, we will both benefit. We should work together and take charge of our respective sides." Du Yu said.

Honghuang Tiandao nodded and said, "Indeed. There is no need for intrigue between you and me. Win-win cooperation is the long-term solution."

"In that case, is the deal done?" Du Yu asked.

Honghuang Tiandao nodded again, then reached into his arms and took out a wisp of Hongmeng purple energy and handed it over. Du Yu took it and put it into the system space to seal it up. This was prepared for Empress Qiongxiao in case there were any accidents in his plan. It was worth paying a few fragments of the Dao of Power for this.

"Fellow Daoist, after finishing the important business, there is still one small thing to do." He spoke again.

"Please speak, fellow Taoist." said Honghuang Tiandao.

"My fellow Daoist and I have both made some progress in seclusion. Why don't we have a fight and discuss the Dao?" Du Yu sought the other party's opinion.

Honghuang Tiandao was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and he said, "I couldn't ask for more."

Afterwards, both parties came to the outside of Jiuxiao Palace and tacitly broke through the boundary wall to come into the void.

......

No one knew the course of the battle, but both sides returned to Jiuxiao Palace with smiles on their faces.

After discussing the theory of Taoism, Du Yu rode the tiger demon Tuanzi back to Daotian Palace.

After Du Yu left, Honghuang Tiandao opened the box containing the fragments of the law of chaos, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that what you said is right. He really inherited all of Shichen's legacy. Not only that, he also found many extraordinary things in the long river of time." Honghuang Tiandao said.

"So you should cooperate with me. If you let it continue to grow, I'm afraid you won't be its opponent at all." A voice came from the depths of Jiuxiao Palace.

"You don't need to teach me how to do things." said Honghuang Tiandao.

"Haha, you don't really think that He is satisfied with just being on an equal footing with you." The owner of the voice was obviously closer.

Honghuang Tiandao thought for a moment and took the wooden box into his arms. He then said, "So I want to put the treasure on you? Do you think you are qualified to fight Him?"

"It's better to cooperate with me than to seek the skin of a tiger." The figure finally appeared.

Well, actually it was not someone else, but the ancestor Hongjun from this prehistoric world who was hiding in the Jiuxiao Palace and witnessed the transaction between Honghuang Tiandao and Du Yu.

"Tell me what you think about the evil power He mentioned." asked Honghuang Tiandao.

"Maybe this is true, or maybe he is just making empty threats." said Patriarch Hongjun.

"Then have you noticed anything unusual?" asked Honghuang Tiandao.

Patriarch Hongjun shook his head and said, "I have only been out of retreat for a short time, and I have not noticed anything unusual about the prehistoric world."

"No matter what, you have to pay attention to this aspect. I believe He would not bother to make up stories." Honghuang Tiandao said.

"Okay, I will. After all, only when the prehistoric world is stable can we have more space. But I am more concerned about our transaction." said Patriarch Hongjun.

"Just according to the conditions we discussed before. But I will only help secretly and will not directly intervene in the fight between you and Luohou." Honghuang Tiandao said.

"Okay, it's a deal." said Patriarch Hongjun.

Honghuang Tiandao nodded, then turned and entered his bedroom. When he came out a moment later, he had a box shining with golden light in his hand.

"I give it to you. Remember what you promised. If you can't do it..., hehe." There was a hint of coldness in his laughter.

Patriarch Hongjun felt a little helpless, but still took the box.

Yes, compared to the original prehistoric world, the ancestor Hongjun in this world is much more frustrated.
