King of Creation Chapter 2073 - 2058: Collusion Between Humans and Demons

Tu Zheng learned in such a short time that Ye Zhen had cleared the way and appeared in Zhengyao City, guarded by the Great Zhou’s military forces. Ye Zhen was somewhat suspicious, wondering if there was collusion with the Demon Race, exchanging favors.

But on second thought, within the Zhengyao Realm, the infiltration between Zhengyao City, guarded by the Great Zhou military, and the Two-World City, guarded by the Demon Race army, was in fact extremely severe.

Despite heavy scrutiny and every merchant household acting as guarantor, it’s obvious that over the years, there must be spies from the Demon Race planted within Zhengyao City.

The Two-World City, guarded by the Demon Race, is the same.

Thus, Tu Zheng knowing about Ye Zhen appearing in Zhengyao City wasn’t really surprising.

"Heh, Ye Jiuxiao, as expected of the man valued by Hu Qingtong, surely has some means!" The Qingqiu Fox Clan’s Clan Leader Tu Zheng, who was previously filled with anger, suddenly became all smiles, with a spring breeze on his face.

This change, without any smoke or fire, as if it should have been so, left Ye Zhen somewhat stunned.

"It seems that passing through Tu Clan Leader’s Heaven and Earth Net, set up with hundreds of Dao Realm’s means, doesn’t seem to have angered the clan leader much?"

"If anger could help, if it could reverse things, then why would this world need this old man’s efforts?"

"Indeed."

Ye Zhen cupped his hands, "Clan Leader Tu’s temperament is truly magnanimous."

Tu Zheng smiled and shook his head, "After experiencing much, one learns to let go. When you reach the age of this old man, you’ll understand."

"By the way, this old man knows a restaurant in Zhengyao City named ’Three Return Visits’, where the food is authentic, and the wine is a treasured vintage, unlike most of the watered-down fake wines in the market. I wonder, Count Ye, do you dare to have a drink with this old man?" Tu Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Count Ye?"

Ye Zhen chewed on these three words, and his eyes also squinted, "It seems that the clan leader now knows me quite well?"

"My Fox Clan is known for unparalleled wit and strategy in the world, yet we have suffered repeatedly in the hands of Count Ye. If we can’t even find out about Count Ye’s background, then there’s no point in continuing?"

After speaking, Tu Zheng gestured towards Ye Zhen, "Do you dare?"

With a slight thought, Ye Zhen laughed and walked towards Tu Zheng, "Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Almost as soon as Ye Zhen walked over, Tu Zheng’s overwhelming Dao Realm aura suddenly rose, seemingly about to rush at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen, however, remained unmoved, continuing to walk leisurely towards Tu Zheng.

This scene made Tu Zheng burst into laughter, giving Ye Zhen a thumbs-up, "It’s said that the Earl of North Sea, Ye Zhen, is a true man, a real hero. From what I saw before, I thought Count Ye was cautious and exceedingly cunning.

But seeing you today, you’re indeed a true hero!"

"To receive such a compliment of being exceedingly cunning from the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s Clan Leader is a great honor for me." Ye Zhen cupped his hands and walked beside Tu Zheng, "Please, clan leader, lead the way. I’m unfamiliar with this place."

"Haha, good!"

In Tu Zheng’s laughter, Ye Zhen’s Purple Spirit Immortal Sword flew out silently from behind his head, and a touch of Sword Intent suddenly locked onto Tu Zheng.

At the same time, the Little Demon-turned dark green hairpin behind Ye Zhen’s head also silently spread out, with fine vines instantly adorning Ye Zhen’s robes.

At first glance, it looked as though intricate patterns had been embroidered on Ye Zhen’s body, but upon closer sensing, the hidden peak Early Dao Realm fluctuations were enough to make anyone awe.

Seeing this, Tu Zheng stared sharply at the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword locking him with Sword Intent, "What does Count Ye mean by this?"

"Nothing much."

Ye Zhen smiled mildly, "Though I am bold, I am not foolish."

"Clan Leader Tu is a half-step Creation Realm existence, while I am a mere Ninth Stage Realm King, like an ant; without some preparations, I could be turned to ash at any moment under your hand. It’s better to make preparations, just to have peace of mind while drinking."

"If ants in the world were all like Count Ye, then they would defy the heavens."

After speaking, Tu Zheng once again gestured with a smile, "Please!" Striding forward, he led Ye Zhen to the so-called ’Three Return Visits’ restaurant.

The Garrison Commander of Zhengyao City, who had originally ordered the Dao Realm to be cautious, was dumbfounded by this scene.

According to the intel, weren’t they enemies as fire and water? How did they suddenly become drinking companions?

This world’s affairs are indeed marvelous.

A moment ago, Tu Zheng wanted nothing more than to cut Ye Zhen into pieces, but now, he could only force a smile, inviting him to drink.

Ye Zhen, before this moment, would avoid Tu Zheng as much as possible, but now, they walked side by side, sitting at the same table.

The twists of fate are unimaginable.

If someone had dared to tell Ye Zhen earlier that he would be drinking with Tu Zheng, Ye Zhen would have slapped them hard.

But now, it has happened just like that.

The dishes at ’Three Return Visits’ in Zhengyao City were indeed authentic.

Perhaps after being away from the Great Zhou for so long, suddenly tasting the flavors of the Great Zhou made it exceptionally delicious.

Ye Zhen and Tu Zheng sat opposite each other, silently enjoying their meal, occasionally raising their bowls, toasting lightly, then drinking it all.

If not for the solemn Sword Intent of the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword hanging before Ye Zhen’s forehead, breaking the atmosphere, Ye Zhen and Tu Zheng could have been like old friends meeting after many years.

An hour later, with plates and cups scattered messily, and after being thoroughly satisfied, Ye Zhen finally let out a comfortable burp, lying back comfortably.

"The Great Clan Leader didn’t invite me here just for a not-so-great drink, did he?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.

"Not so great?" Tu Zheng raised his long eyebrows. Just now, he saw Ye Zhen eating and drinking with great pleasure.

"Of course, with a sword hanging over one’s head, no one would feel too good." Ye Zhen raised his eyebrows.

"Count Ye, straightforward as ever, I won’t beat around the bush."

At this point, Tu Zheng’s expression turned serious, "No matter what I say, Count Ye will probably not believe it. However, I still want to advise Count Ye that the matters of this world are far more complex than you imagine.

For the sake of Count Ye’s future and Chi Ling’er’s future, it would be best for Count Ye to hand over Qing Tong to me. Once Qing Tong has completed the task for us, I will return him safely."

"Return safely?" Ye Zhen sneered.

"To prevent Chi Ling’er from enduring the harshness of the world without parents in the future, Count Ye should seriously consider it." Tu Zheng’s eyes showed no emotion.

"Is this a threat?"

Ye Zhen’s body suddenly sat upright, "In my life, I have never tolerated threats! My woman, I will protect well, and my daughter, I will raise her to adulthood, not letting her suffer the slightest grievance."

After speaking, Ye Zhen leaned forward abruptly, his gaze locked onto Tu Zheng, and pronounced each word with piercing Killing Qi, "If anyone dares to harm my daughter even a bit, I will hunt them down to the ends of the earth! Even if it means wiping out their entire clan and cutting off their bloodline by any means necessary!"

Although Ye Zhen’s words were filled with killing intent, Tu Zheng showed no reaction.

"In my life, I have heard such words tens of thousands of times, yet no one has ever succeeded."

"I am the exception!"

"Then my earlier advice is sincere. Count Ye, don’t wait until the future brings regret." Tu Zheng said.

"The future?"

Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered slightly, and in an instant, he thought of something.

It seems that the Fox Clan likely has a plan against Ye Zhen, which is why they are saying this.

Moreover, Ye Zhen estimates that this plan might require the Qingqiu Fox Clan to pay a significant price, which is why Tu Zheng specifically came to discuss this matter with Ye Zhen again.

But on the flip side, for a plan to deal with Ye Zhen that requires such a significant price even for the Great Clan Leader Tu Zheng of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, how formidable would this plan be?

And the people of the Fox Clan are best known for their schemes, so there must be traces of the legendary Think Tank Tu Che behind this.

Upon this realization, Ye Zhen felt a chill in his heart, secretly warning himself to be even more cautious in his actions from now on.

Because Ye Zhen is no longer alone.

"I have never regretted anything I do. If the Great Clan Leader Tu has nothing else to discuss, then I kindly ask you to leave!" Ye Zhen picked up the teacup.

Upon hearing this, Tu Zheng sighed, "When I came, Tu Che said that my visit would be in vain, but I still wanted to strive for Chi Ling’er a bit more. After all, Chi Ling’er is also considered part of my Fox Clan. To think..."

"Since that’s the case, I shall take my leave!"

After speaking, Tu Zheng immediately got up. As he stepped out of the private room, he paused slightly, and seeing that Ye Zhen didn’t make any move, he left quickly without further hesitation.

Under Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense watch, Tu Zheng smoothly departed Zhengyao City, flying towards the direction of the Demon Race guarded Two-World City.

With one thought, Ye Zhen casually laid down several Silent Barriers, then brought out Big Ears Nie Ting, who was cultivating in the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

"Keep an eye on that direction. You remember the voice of the Great Clan Leader Tu Zheng of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, right?"

Big Ears Nie Ting nodded.

Currently, Big Ears Nie Ting’s Heavenly Sound Divine Ability has a monitoring range of fifty thousand miles, and the distance between the Demon Race guarded Two-World City and the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Zhengyao City is only about ten thousand miles.

Big Ears Nie Ting can hear very clearly from here.

Soon, Big Ears Nie Ting captured the sound of Tu Zheng’s breaking through the air, and tracked it all the way. Before long, the conversation between Tu Zheng and Tu Che was heard by Big Ears Nie Ting.

"Third Brother, that Ye Jiuxiao is not only cunning but also exceedingly cautious. He directly used an Acquired Spirit Treasure and that Early Dao Realm Wood Demon to constantly guard against me, leaving me no chance for a single strike. Inside Zhengyao City, there are also hundreds of Dao Realm auras watching over it, and in the end, I had no choice but to give up!"

This was Tu Zheng’s voice, causing Ye Zhen to break out in a cold sweat, unexpectedly finding out what Tu Zheng’s real motive was.

If he managed to capture him successfully, perhaps through some Divine Power Secret Technique, he could instantly leave Zhengyao City.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen had left a backup plan.

"Then, your last piece of persuasion was also ineffective?" Tu Che asked.

"It had no effect at all!"

"It seems we can only agree to the conditions on the Great Zhou side and let them take action." Tu Che said faintly.

"Let’s agree." Tu Zheng’s voice was resolutely firm.

Upon hearing this conversation, Ye Zhen’s eyes widened. The conditions from the Great Zhou side?

This is?

Collusion between humans and demons!

Is there an alliance between the Human Clan and the Demon Race to target Ye Zhen together?
