Tang Ye fell silent for a few seconds, pondering whether or not to agree to the request. At last, he looked at Su Sigui, whose strong appearance concealed a soul as fragile as tofu. Despite the enormous pressure akin to a mountain, this soul seed to endure and continue moving forward with difficulty.
He nodded, speaking gravely, "Speak, there may be so wrong done to you in this, but if it truly is just a simple request, no matter what happens, I will help you complete it."
Upon hearing Tang Ye’s words, a smile appeared on Su Sigui’s face directed toward Tang Ye, though there was a hint of sadness in the smile in Tang Ye’s eyes.
In the quiet environnt, Su Sigui slowly spoke, uttering that exceedingly simple request.
"If you wish to hide, I won’t bla you, and no one else has the right to either. My request is, when you choose to hide, when humanity faces disaster, you can choose not to help, to watch indifferently, but please do not make things more difficult for them. That is my request."
"Disaster? Making things more difficult?"
Tang Ye’s mood suddenly beca somber; he looked at Su Sigui, seemingly seeing sothing very indistinct. And he did not understand what it was, perhaps only Su Sigui, the transmigrator, knew.
He guessed sothing, but was not sure.
He could only nod, agreeing to the request, which was just as Su Sigui had described, rely a thought at a certain period, really very simple.
She said nothing more, turned around, and walked toward the palace exit. She did not know what Tang Ye would do in the future; if he really agreed, only ti would tell, and that future was not far off. If he rely feigned agreent and had no intention to follow through, Su Sigui had no recourse. Everything, in the end, was up to so-called fate. She could not decide these things, not even preserving her own life.
Moreover, the most ridiculous part was the hope of hiding in this city mixed with zombies and humans—how laughable.
She had thought there would be much to discuss upon seeing each other, but in the end, there were only a few brief words and mutual silence, like old friends of many years separated by ti into an insurmountable divide.
As she left, Tang Ye did not try to detain her; he sat on the sofa, watching Su Sigui as she stepped toward the grand portals, then got swallowed step by step by the light outside, her clear, thin silhouette dimming bit by bit.
Tang Ye remained silent for a long ti, and without his word, the various powerhouses who had gone out did not dare to enter, creating a silence so profound until the silhouette in Tang Ye’s eyes completely vanished; then, he murmured, "What exactly are you afraid of?"
He sat on the sofa, pondering the things that frightened Su Sigui, what he himself might do in the future, when all life in the palace seed to vanish at that mont, except for the wall clock above ticking "tick tock tick," representing ti slipping slowly away—not quickly nor fully grasped, like slipping sand.
The once lively Long Sky Banquet quietly gave in to the silence around Tang Ye, who was oblivious until the sun dipped below the horizon and the bright moonlight bathed the palace for a long ti, before Tang Ye slowly ca back to his senses.
His eyes as profound as endless abysses, carrying a certain resolve, he slowly stood from the sofa. His hand caressed a huge dragon head next to him, and the enormous dragon entwined around the grand hall seed to be influenced by him, beginning to awaken, its gigantic body starting to wriggle.
His gaze was directed toward the grand door where Su Sigui had disappeared, then a sentence, sounding like the muttering of a mad person, ca from Tang Ye’s mouth.
"No matter what it is, I need to explore it myself. Perhaps I shouldn’t hide, I should stop sothing!"
During his mutter, it seed like chains were breaking, slowly reassembling at an extrely slow pace.
And the dragon beside him moved faster and faster, its gigantic body coiling around a huge pillar, a pair of dragon eyes watching Tang Ye, apparently awaiting his command.
"Co in, everyone."
At Tang Ye’s call, groups of people entered from the doorway, each one a powerful being of Level 8!
They ford four neat rows before Tang Ye.
Among these people, so were not quite human, so had the strange appearances of new humanoid species, so were zombie controllers, so were pure humans, with features of Russians, Prairie Mongolian people, Chinese people, and Lan Ou European people.
"Did Su Sigui and her group leave?"
Not far away, Xu Haishui stepped forward, nodding, "Boss, they’ve already left."
"How did they leave?"
"They abandoned the car they ca in and bought an aircraft from Chau at one o’clock in the afternoon and then left."
Tang Ye nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone, then he called out so nas.
"Saio, Yan Jie, Bennis, Huang Quanjiu, Bai Huipeng, Ha Zhen, Gert, Hu Ji, Du Lifu, Chen Yue, Yi Huangcheng, Dakota, Hong Heixin, Kano Jie, Dong Wenlu, Song Muyuan, Horst, An Bo, Blanche, Chang Jinlun..."
Continuing to read a long list of nas, ending with "and also Ah Fu and Xu Haishui," each person whose na was called stepped forward, totaling more than a hundred in the end.
"Other than these, the rest will stay here and manage so matters. I will also be here. As for those whose nas I’ve called out, tomorrow morning, head to the Cloud Gorge Base where there’s another person."
The Level 8 Powerhouses whose nas were read showed excitent. Other than when Heavenly Khan had first rooted here and there were daily battles, life had been very peaceful since. Many people had started to grow weary after so long. Moreover, it was exhilarating that almost half of the Near-Heaven Level powerhouses were mobilized at once, a first-ti occurrence.
They harbored various thoughts, with the majority believing that their own Heavenly Khan was about to expand his territory and begin advancing toward Sanctuary City, the greatest refuge for humans. This thought excited them even more.
And those whose nas were not called felt a sinking in their hearts, especially those who were zombies turned human. They looked enviously at those whose nas were called, as going to the Cloud Gorge Base ant there would be battle, and with battle ca bloodshed. Zombies, like wolves, beca exceedingly excited once they slled blood.
However, their luck was very bad, but they dared not say anything. Here, that man was the absolute ruler!
He was the only one who surpassed Level 8.
"That’s about it. Hurry and get ready." After dropping this remark, Tang Ye left the place. The scene began to buzz, and a boy who appeared to be only twelve years old confird that Tang Ye had really left before muttering, "I wonder if Song Muyuan, that fool, will still believe. Never mind, he definitely will believe , he’s such a fool! Hehehe."
