704: C704 The Agreement 100 Thousand Years ago

C704 The Agreement 100 Thousand Years ago

It was only after reaching the peak of Mortal Realm that the baby stopped breaking through. Ye Hong Tian slowly stood up from the ground, his mouth twitching as he looked at the baby in his arms.

"What kind of person did I meet, or did the baby break through to the Peak Mortal Realm?" Ye Hong Tian said with a bitter smile.

He looked around and confirmed that there was nothing else here. Then, he prepared to leave the way he came.

As soon as he took a step, a shadow appeared in front of him. He was shocked and immediately became alert.

This shadow was a handsome man. Because he did not have a physical body, Ye Hongtian could not sense this man's cultivation level.

"Young hero, don't be nervous. I mean no harm." The shadow saw Ye Hongtian's vigilant expression and said with a smile.

Then he looked at the baby in Ye Hongtian's arms and showed a loving expression. It made Ye Hongtian understand the relationship between this man and the baby.

"This child is yours, right? I only saved her when I saw that she was tied to the cross. If that was some special cultivation that I interrupted, I'm sorry, the child will be returned to you." Ye Hong Tian said so.

As he spoke, he prepared to carry the baby in his arms to the shadow. However, when he placed the baby in the shadow's arms, he discovered that the shadow did not have a physical body. His hand actually went through it.

"You..."

Ye Hong Tian frowned as he looked at the shadow, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

The shadow looked at Ye Hongtian and said with a bitter smile, "This is just a projection. My real body has fallen. I fell here a hundred thousand years ago."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Hongtian's eyes widened. He never thought that he would run into another person from the Divine Martial Continent. Moreover, the phantom from 100,000 years ago was still able to retain its consciousness. This person's cultivation was not low at all.

Just as he was about to say something, a dark red light lit up above his head and cut across the phantom's face.

This dark red light was Qiong Qi. After the dark red light dissipated, Qiong Qi's figure was revealed.

When Qiong Qi appeared, the shadow looked shocked and then serious.

"Qiong Qi! Qiong Qi! Why are you here? I remember you were sealed by the Netherworld Fire Phoenix. Did someone break the seal of the Netherworld Fire Phoenix?!" The illusionary figure asked.

"That's right. The seal of the Netherworld Fire Phoenix was indeed broken by someone." Qiong Qi slowly turned into a human shape and said, "The one who broke the seal is this kid. He has been missing me for a hundred thousand years. Hahaha."

Qiong Qi, who had turned into a human form, looked very ferocious. The first impression he gave people was that of bandits and robbers.

Qiong Qi flicked his finger and a dark red energy flew into the shadow's body. The energy flew into the shadow's body and slowly became solid.

The shadow looked down at his body which had become solid. Then he looked up at Qiong Qi with disdain and said, "Not to mention a hundred thousand years, even if I don't see you for a million years, I will not miss you."

"But thank you. Although the time is shorter, you can let me hug my child."

The shadow walked to Ye Hongtian and took the baby from him. He held the baby gently with a face full of love and enjoyment.

Qiong Qi wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Hong Tian. He didn't let Qiong Qi disturb the shadow.

After a while, the shadow's legs suddenly became illusionary. Ye Hong Tian understood what the shadow meant.

Qiong Qi saw the shadow's legs become illusionary. He ignored Ye Hong Tian and shouted, "Zhou Yuanqiu, stop hugging me. I can let you touch the real thing, not the baby."

Hearing Qiong Qi call him, Zhou Yuanqiu looked at the baby in his arms and gave the baby to Ye Hong Tian.

When Ye Hongtian took the baby, Zhou Yuanqiu stared at Ye Hongtian's face for a while and then smiled. "You look good, but I don't know what kind of person you are. My baby will be in your hands from now on."

Zhou Yuanqiu's tone was like a father-in-law talking to his son-in-law, which made Ye Hongtian speechless.

After seeing Ye Hong Tian's reaction, Zhou Yuanqiu smiled and patted Ye Hong Tian's shoulder as he walked towards Qiong Qi.

"Let's begin." Zhou Yuanqiu said.2

Ye Hongtian, who was standing at the side, did not know what Zhou Yuanqiu meant when he said "let's begin." In the next second, he was stunned on the spot.

Zhou Yuanqiu smiled and raised his head. Qiong Qi reached out his hand and stabbed Zhou Yuanqiu's heart.

Although it was only a shadow, it was a fatal wound to Zhou Yuanqiu's heart. Zhou Yuanqiu immediately dissipated into light particles and was swallowed by Qiong Qi.

"What are you doing?!" Ye Hong Tian shouted.

Seeing this scene, Ye Hong Tian did not understand why Qiong Qi would do this. If possible, he hoped that Zhou Yuanqiu could spend the last few moments with his child.

He hoped that Qiong Qi could give him an explanation as to why he wanted to devour Zhou Yuanqiu's shadow.

However, Qiong Qi didn't explain. He slowly put his hand on the baby's head in Ye Hong Tian's arms. A force was transmitted from Qiong Qi's palm into the baby's brain.

"This is the agreement between me and that guy 100 thousand years ago." Qiong Qi suddenly said.

Ye Hong Tian looked at Qiong Qi in confusion. He didn't understand what kind of agreement Qiong Qi had to make.

"A hundred thousand years ago, we were in the same team. You should know what we did." Qiong Qi continued to transmit power.

"At that time, we knew that we might die here. Zhou Yuanqiu's wife gave birth to this child here, so we made an agreement."

"After the war ends, if any of us are still alive, we will definitely return here and take this child away."

"If the one alive is me, then when I take the child away, I will absorb the phantom image he left behind here and give the thing he left behind in the phantom image to this child."

After hearing Qiong Qi's explanation, Ye Hong Tian's face revealed a look of understanding. Then, he was shocked because he discovered that the baby in his arms was actually an old monster that had lived for 100,000 years.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Ye Hong Tian smiled bitterly and looked at the baby in his arms. Then, he looked at Qiong Qi and asked.

Qiong Qi knew what Ye Hong Tian wanted to ask. He looked at Ye Hong Tian disdainfully and said, "I know. When we get out, I will tell you the formation to protect the baby. You won't let anything go. Sooner or later, I will be sucked dry by you."

Ye Hong Tian scratched his head awkwardly and smiled. He then changed the topic and said, "This is a promise you made to Senior Zhou Yuanqiu. What is the relationship between you two?"

When Ye Hong Tian asked about the relationship between him and Zhou Yuanqiu, Qiong Qi looked like he was recalling something. He then smiled and said, "A small number of friends."
