This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

"That's right." Jia Nuo expressed his approval of Xuwu Tunyan's opinion, "Old Jia, do you still want to be tolerant even at this point? If so, I would rather resign my position as general now!"

Jia Xingtian wanted to say something more, but Xuwu Tunyan took over the conversation: "General Jianuo, this is totally unnecessary. When you were the general, even if the Yunlan Sect wanted to take action, they could only make trouble behind your back. If you really resigned from the position of general, they would probably not even bother to act."

"This..." Ganuo also heard what Void Devouring Flame meant, and couldn't help stamping his feet: "Is there no one who can cure them?"

"Yes, but not now." Xuwu Tunyan patted Jia Nuo, then turned to Jia Xingtian on the side and said, "Jia Lao, I also know that I can't stay here for long after doing something like this. So I will leave after a while. You can issue a notice in the name of the royal family to sever my relationship with the royal family. In this way, even if Yunlan Sect is unhappy, they will not dare to lose face and vent their anger on the royal family."

"Ah?" Ganuo suddenly became anxious, "Mr. Xu Yan, this..."

The series of events that happened before had made him want to recruit Void Devouring Flame. Although he knew the possibility was slim, Ganuo still wanted to give it a try.

"General Ganuo, I know what you want to say. In fact, I have also thought about finding a place to settle down, but at least now, I don't have this opportunity."

"However, as for bodyguards, I do have another suitable candidate."

"The right person?" Ganuo was a little confused.

"You'll find out soon."

In a cell somewhere in the Imperial Prison, a thin figure was sitting inside, his drooping head and empty eyes proved that this person was in a very bad mental state.

"Kid, the time for depression is over, raise your head."

Yun Che did not look up.

"Even if you become depressed to death here, Yun Lei will not be affected by your depression, and Yun Yun will not pity you for it."

Yun Che's body trembled slightly, he raised his head and looked at Xuwu Tunyan with his empty eyes: "Are you here to mock me? Then go ahead and mock me."

"I'm not that boring. In fact, I sympathize with you. The existence that I once regarded as an idol collapsed overnight. I can't accept it either." Void Devouring Flame shrugged.

"Then what are you here for?"

"I'm showing you the way." Xuwu Tunyan said with a smile, "Our goal from the beginning to the end is just to expose the mastermind behind this. As for you, you don't have to go to the guillotine."

Yun Che sneered, "What's the point of letting me go? Let me go to Yunlan Sect and assassinate them?"

"Well... that's not impossible. But you don't have that much strength at this stage."

Yun Che laughed again: "So you're here to entertain me?"

"Of course not. What if I tell you that I can free you from your criminal status and give you enough power to even defeat Yun Yun?"

Yun Che did not answer immediately, but a glimmer of hope appeared in his originally empty eyes, along with a hint of caution: "So, what is the price?"

"Ha, it seems you've become a lot smarter after this incident." Void Devouring Flame said without further ado, "Simple. Remember Gat, whom you attempted to assassinate but failed? My condition is that until I allow you, you need to continue to be his bodyguard and protect him well, that's all."

“Is it that simple?” Yun Che couldn’t believe his ears. Ever since this incident, he actually stopped trusting anyone.

"It's that simple." Xuwu Tunyan spread his hands, "I know you don't dare to trust anyone right now, but you have no other choice. Think about it, if you don't accept it, you will be framed by Yunlan Sect and will never be able to get out of this situation, while the guys who framed you are outside and are at large. Can you tolerate this?"

Yun Che's body trembled slightly, and two images kept colliding in his mind. On one side was his life in prison, and on the other side was Elder Yun Lei's face, which he once respected but now hated. The two images intertwined, causing Yun Che's anger, which had been suppressed due to fear or other reasons, to gradually burn.

"Okay! As long as I can get revenge on them, I don't mind if you take my life!"

"That's not necessary. I'm not a devil who would take advantage of others' misfortunes to sign contracts and then use them to take their lives." Void Devouring Flame said half-jokingly, "There will be a chance to retaliate against them, but not now."

"Since you have made up your mind, I should also show some sincerity."

Xuwu Tunyan waved his sleeves, and a pile of jade bottles and boxes appeared in front of Yun Che.

"Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill... Douling Pill... Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill..." Yun Che stared blankly at the pills in front of him. Even if he took any one of them out to sell, it would be countless gold coins! Even as an inner disciple of the Yunlan Sect, it was impossible for him to easily get even one of them. After all, since their young master made a three-year agreement, Elder Guhe has focused all his energy on her. Let alone these pills, he didn't even have the chance to get a Qi Gathering Powder.

“These should be enough for you to reach the peak strength of Dou Huang. However, taking too much medicine will affect your foundation, so…” After Void Devouring Flame finished speaking, a thin black flame quickly entered Yun Che’s body.

"This is?"

"It's a harmonizing agent. It can help you absorb the medicinal power more steadily, so that your foundation won't be unstable due to increasing your strength too quickly, which will affect your subsequent cultivation."

Of course, what Void Devouring Flame did not tell Yun Che was that although this flame could indeed achieve this effect, it also had a restraining effect. Once Yun Che had any evil thoughts, his consciousness would immediately be dominated by this flame.

Although Yun Che has indeed given up on the Yunlan Sect for now, Xuwu Tunyan is not completely at ease.

“Bang!” Yun Che knelt down on both knees and kowtowed to Xuwu Tunyan: “Master Xu Yan! Yun Che swears here that he will be loyal to you for the rest of his life. If he breaks this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth!”

"Stop, are you going to say something else next, 'Purine for half my life, I am willing to be your godfather'?" Xuwu Tunyan stopped him, "No matter how much you say, it's all empty talk. I just want to see what you do."

"Take care of yourself and digest these pills in the next few days. I will go through the relevant bail procedures for you. Remember, don't try to betray me, otherwise you will regret it."

After Xuwu Tunyan finished speaking, he turned and left. Next, he had to go talk to Ganuo.

"You want Yun Che to be your grandpa's bodyguard?" Jianuo looked incredulous. "Mr. Xu Yan, isn't this too dangerous?"

"That may not be the case." Xuwu Tunyan took a sip of tea. "General Ganuo, you should still remember that we used a trick to expose Yun Lei before, right? Yun Che witnessed the whole process at that time. Imagine if an assassin from the Izumo Empire failed in his assassination attempt and did not sell any information from beginning to end, but the Izumo Empire regarded him as a traitor and tried to silence him. Even if they took the person who silenced him back in various ways, they would not even look at him. Do you think that any normal person would continue to be loyal to the Izumo Empire?"

"This..." Ganuo thought about it. What Xuwu Tunyan said made sense. Being betrayed by someone he had always trusted, only a saint or a fool would continue to believe it.

"What's more, the extreme of love is hatred. He was willing to assassinate Yun Lan Zong before, so his hatred for Yun Lan Zong now is probably even deeper than that of the young master Xiao Yan who was rumored before."

"That makes sense, but... with his strength..."

"Of course I have considered this. There is no need to worry about this matter." As he said this, Xuwu Tunyan took out ten Douling Pills and a bunch of other pills: "As long as General Ganuo agrees, these are all yours."

Jianuo took a look. He knew something about those elixirs, and the price would definitely not be low. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally made up his mind: "Okay! In this case, I will trust Mr. Xu Yan this time!"

"Smart move."
