Chapter 462 Greed Origin
His power also started stabilizing more, compared to when he met Reina. This was thanks to the high goblin power he had absorbed. Without realizing it, his body had started changing into something that was not human.
He stopped as he stepped. His expression turned ugly. "What do you want here? I already followed her direction."
"So you know me?"
"Yes, FengXue told me something about you."
"I don't know. She hasn't contacted me after I entered this place."
'It seems Yang Fei still doesn't know he is now in a completely new region, even though I couldn't contact Alex.'
"In that case, change your destination; we have already taken care of the Zephyr clan."
Yang Fei frowned. He didn't quickly respond. He started observing MingYue, trying to gauge her strength, but he couldn't feel anything.
His contract was with FengXue and the Situ family patriarch. There was no clause that said he couldn't attack her.
If she was weaker, he would not think twice to attack her.
"Where should I go then?"
MingYue thought for a second, then gave him directions to an immortal territory that she knew didn't belong to any faction under Edward's plan.
These people were a risk factor and better eliminated.
Yang Fei didn't make a fuss. He changed direction. MingYue also continued her journey after seeing him leave.
In the middle of the way, Yang Fei stopped and took a seat; he then closed his eyes to stabilize his power further. He moved all the impurity, forcing it to greed to eat it all, leaving behind only the pure energy.
After some time, he opened his eyes, "With my current strength, I should be able to make havoc as much as I want. Those ungrateful bastards, how much I want to tear them apart."
Yang Fei still felt hateful about how quickly the Yang clan abandoned him. He had done that in the past, but tasting his own medicine still made him feel bitter.
"If only I didn't have this stupid contract." Yang Fei mumbled.
Even though he was stronger now, FengXue had also become stronger, and the Situ family patriarch made the contract stronger.
But his expression suddenly changed, as part of his hand turned into greed's face.
"So you have the strength to come out, huh?"
"You ungrateful bastard, I saved you, and now you use me like a tool. I know humans cannot be trusted."
"Hahaha, are you coming out to do stand-up comedy? Just what do you want, Greed?"
"A ceasefire, something is coming out of the outer region, and it's coming for me."
"What do you mean?"
"You know my origin, right? A taotie sealed into a sword. While that is true, it's not the complete story.
Once, I was part of something bigger, something stronger. But the main body got defeated and sealed away. As the connection was cut off and time passed, I grew my own sentience, but now I can feel the seal has been broken."
"In that case, why would you want my help? Fusing with your main body will make you stronger. What scam are you pulling now?"
"You fool, you think I would really come out like this if it's not important? The moment I got absorbed, my sentience would also disappear.
At the very least, being with you, I will still survive. If I return, I will be completely obliterated."
"So, what do you want? Escape? You know I cannot do that?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"You should check the contract again; I don't know what happened, but Situ Chen's strength suddenly dropped. He probably died and was forced to re-cultivate, but whatever it was, it worked for us."
Yang Fei then checked it, and he found what Greed said was true. But even then, it was still too risky for him.
"FengXue's power alone is already enough to hold me now. I can forcefully break the contract, but it will give me a grave wound.
You should also realize that woman MingYue we just met, who knows if she will come back to attack us?"
"I can help you overpower the contract. My only requirement is simple: leaving this world quickly."
"What do you mean? You know a way to leave this world?"
"Yes? So how about it? Let's make a deal. I will really bind myself to you in exchange for you to protect me."
Yang Fei found the proposal intriguing; if they could really cooperate, his power would rise even faster than this.
He also found out that despite using demonic cultivation, as long as the energy was pure, he would stay stable.
But he still felt wary of Greed.
"Tell me how I can bind you first, then I will consider it."
Greed hesitated for a moment, but as death was now looming over him, his hesitation quickly disappeared.
"You should now know I have the core of my being in the sword. Find a dead body for me to possess, while my core, you can bind it to your soul.
This way, you will always have control over my life and death, no matter how strong I become. And I also become immortal as long as you are not dead."
If Alex were here, he would quickly realize the method Greed mentioned was basically the same as a lich. Have their soul ripped away, put it in a container, then hide it away.
As long as the container is not destroyed, they will not be able to get killed.
"Let's do that first, then; if you keep your bargain, we will then go to another world and break the contract with FengXue."
"Be quick about it then. I don't know what is happening there, but I'm seeing this world's current strength now. I doubt anyone can really block him."
"Is your main body really that strong?"
"Yang Fei, I am not kidding here. What you see of me is nothing more than 1% of my main body's real strength.
Also, the one sealed is not only him. There are a few more beings at the same level."
