"Quite the opposite," Mu Qinglong laughed happily. It was only after he was eliminated that he learned of Ye Youluo's entire plan. Ru Ming was just one step away from securing his own victory, and how could he allow someone who wanted to conquer the entire Dust Realm to be unhappy? Instead, they sought to completely seal off that path, ensuring no one could escape.
Hearing Mu Qinglong's words, Ying Zhan suddenly froze. Even Oil Lu Dao and the Underworld Path disciples, who had surrounded him, were taken aback. He was unaware that the Universe Hall's Stewards and Elders had already entered the Shadow Tower Forest.
Ye Youluo was deep inside; did they really not spare even their own? Were they really going to kill a Jiang Ping?
Finally, Mu Qinglong had laughed enough. Pointing at Ying Zhan, he said, "Of course I don't deny it. Just a Jiang Ping? Am I unaware? All the Stewards and Elders of Universe Hall have entered the Shadow Tower Forest to fight those Great Demons. As for Ye Youluo, she never planned on coming out alive. Do the people of Dust Realm think I'm that foolish?"
Without giving Ying Zhan much time to think, battle was imminent. To prevent the Nine Nether Plan from succeeding, Ying Zhan found it impossible to escape. He had to force himself to fight despite his weary body; even as a Transcendent Practitioner, he was at his limit.
He feared that within a cup of tea's time, he would be defeated by the Eastern forces. Thoughts raced through Ying Zhan's mind: was there truly no way out? That guy he had only known for less than half a month—was he really fighting inside? How could he just give up like that?
At that moment, how could they possibly be absent? Huh, ha ha!
Xiao Zhang's wild laughter echoed throughout Cosmic Plaza. The Great Halberd followed his laughter, forcing the Nine Nether Group to abandon their siege on Ying Zhan and turn their attention elsewhere.
From the moment the Nine Nether Cultivators appeared, the crowd from Sky's End Tower began rushing toward Cosmic Plaza. They were in a hurry; with Yan Dong leading the Great War, at least for a short time, the Nine Nether forces wouldn't easily succeed.
Mu Qinglong watched as everyone arrived and slowly took out a conch-shaped artifact. What did Transcendence matter?
Within Shadow Tower Forest, undisturbed by any beasts, Gu Ping quickly spotted Ye Youluo walking wearily toward a stone tower.
"I’m late," she said. "The seals have loosened. Soon those Great Demons with cultivation levels approaching immortality will break through the seals. The Blood Sea Beast... Bu Luo is just a lowly lackey."
Did he really think he could deceive him with just a few words and then continue to Move Against?
In just a moment, Gu Ping had arrived ten zhang away from Ye Youluo. That distance had long exceeded the safe range between Transcendent Practitioners. Even if Ye Youluo were to suddenly attack Gu Ping, he would have no way to dodge.
I don't deny it. I have always believed that living is more important than anything else. How could Liu Dong make such a choice?
From beginning to end, Ye Youluo did not turn her head towards Gu Ping, even though she could see nothing in her current state.
There are some things they must face, just like why I stayed with Dongyi. I wouldn't have felt at ease until he left, just as he wouldn't have felt at ease before I left.
That’s not my style; he thought it was wrong for me.
For him, there was nothing more important than life, right? But that time he chose to stay there, chose to appear before me, chose that nearly impossible chance of turning the tables. Could it be that he was so confident in himself that he could defeat me and prevent everything from happening?
Was it not Coco?
My staying there proved that there was nothing wrong with it, right?
Gu Ping smiled. He felt he had made a wrong bet; Ye Youluo must have a way to resolve the crisis. He only needed to defeat her, capture her, and obtain the method to help Tiandong City through this crisis. But at that moment, Gu Ping's smile completely froze.
I was wrong; from the very beginning, she never intended to leave. Because for the Ninth Underworld, they didn't need a living Ye Youluo anymore. A dead Ye Youluo would be easier for them to accept.
So I just wait there to die?
Gu Ping found it hard to believe. It seemed that if Ye Youluo wanted to live, there were too many options available to her. Unless she was willing, no one in the Dust Realm could kill her.
In the Ninth Underworld, there was a need for a spiritual leader, and I don't deny it. A living emperor, if he returned alive after the Nine Nether Invasion, could even establish an empire of his own in the Dust Realm. This was not in the interest of the Nine Nether Sect, so he had to die; his fate had just reached its end at that moment.
I could choose not to do that.
At that point, whether he wanted to or was willing to didn't matter; many things would be beyond his control, and all he truly desired was to live.
Gu Ping approached Ye Youluo, and contrary to what one might expect, they did not engage in a fierce confrontation upon meeting. Instead, they walked past each other without a word.
Isn't it ridiculous? I don't deny it. The one who accompanied him through the initial journey turned out to be his enemy.
Not ridiculous at all; in fact, it was not funny in the slightest.
