Chapter 1072: Chapter 52: Kidnapping the Husband First Leads to Victory_3
As a Divine Mirror, my consciousness gradually developed due to an obsession. But upon careful reflection, it wasn’t just about nding the heavens; it was more about not wanting to be abandoned.
The Kunlun Mirror was lost in thought when it heard Chen Guanshui ask:
“Ah Jing, what’s happening outside?”
Beside him, Shi Liuli’s expression remained unchanged, but her hands inside her sleeves tightened secretly, clearly displeased with her husband’s concern for several other won.
“It’s quite an intense fight.” The Kunlun Mirror replied, “That demon head is excessively strong. Qiong Ying and Jiao Xiao are no match for it and are being overwheld, forced to only defend themselves.”
Upon hearing “that demon head is excessively strong,” Chen Guanshui guessed Jiang the Witch had co again, feeling anxious and uneasy.
But when he heard “only defend themselves,” he secretly sighed in relief.
He didn’t expect Junior Sister Xu or Senior Sister An to drive Jiang the Witch away, just hoped they could keep her occupied so she wouldn’t disrupt the slting of the Heaven-nding Stone.
Otherwise, if they joined forces with Shi Liuli down here… all the conflicts would erupt, and not even the Heavenly King could protect him.
“Keep scanning.” Chen Guanshui instructed, “Inform of any situation as soon as possible.”
“Inform you?” Shi Liuli suddenly asked, “If there’s indeed a situation and you know about it, what will you do?”
“Ultimately, we can’t let them keep fighting.” Chen Guanshui answered.
“Understood.” Shi Liuli nodded, “So, husband plans to be honest with them too?”
Chen Guanshui remained silent.
The Kunlun Mirror confided the details to Shi Liuli because she was neither as proud as Xu Yinglian, nor as willful as An Zhisu, nor as domineering as Jiang Lian. Among all the won, she was the most rational and capable of compromise.
But if he confessed to the other three, Junior Sister Xu aside, An Zhisu might draw her sword against him, and Jiang Lian would most likely want to eat him alive.
Thinking of this, Chen Guanshui felt a headache coming on again.
Seeing his embarrassed and distressed expression, Shi Liuli tily said:
“In my opinion, if you choose to be honest with them, the situation is bound to beco uncontrollable.”
“Indeed.” The Kunlun Mirror agreed from the side, “I think with matters like this, it’s better to talk individually.”
The implication being that if you have Shi Liuli stand beside you while telling the other won “I actually have another wife outside, she’s standing right in front of you,” wouldn’t that blow up the situation?
“That’s not the main point.” Shi Liuli frowned and said, “The key is to make them realize that their mortal enemy in combat is also a rival in love… This is hardly a calming realization.”
“Indeed.” The Kunlun Mirror curiously asked, “Dong You Daoist, how did you remain calm?”
Shi Liuli’s expression stiffened. You broken mirror, if you can’t speak well, can you go learn before you butt in?
“Regardless.” She ignored the Kunlun Mirror’s question and insisted, “It’s best to avoid such things from happening.”
“The issue isn’t about whether I want to or not, it’s whether they will.” Seeing both considering his situation, Chen Guanshui felt touched and candidly said, “Once they determine victory or defeat, it’s only a matter of ti before they co exploring.”
“Then move.” Shi Liuli finally revealed her true intent, “Relocate to another place; it’s not like there’s only this Earth Fire.”
Relocate… Chen Guanshui and the Kunlun Mirror began seriously considering this issue.
Outside, the battle was raging furiously; it was uncertain how long such balance would last. As soon as victory or defeat was determined, the risk of discovery would rise imdiately, so relocating early seed like a wise strategy.
But how to relocate?
“Don’t you have the Five Elents Divine Light?” Shi Liuli quickly suggested, “Excavate parallel along the Earth Fire route above, and each ti you advance a certain distance, rember to seal off behind.”
“Alright.” Chen Guanshui wasn’t inclined to dither, and soon agreed.
So the three of them took the Heaven-nding Stone fragnts and began relocating.
Above the seabed, the other three were unaware soone was stealthily escaping with a husband, engrossed in fierce battle.
Jiang the Witch admired An Zhisu sowhat; this Shushan brute seed dumb, but her fighting resolve was remarkably tenacious and rare.
She managed to fight Jiang for hours without exposing a single flaw, sothing ordinary cultivators couldn’t achieve.
Looking towards Xu Yinglian in the distance, she kept leaping and maneuvering without staying at one point for more than two breaths, simultaneously casting almost uninterrupted Daoist magic to restrain Jiang and skillfully coordinate with An Zhisu for attack and defense.
Whenever An Zhisu attacked, Xu would withdraw to recover True Yuan; when An Zhisu retreated, Xu would step in for restraint.
Since the two were not communicating through telepathic transmission, this showed their ability to read the battlefield and consciousness had already reached exceptional levels.
However, for Jiang the Witch, this ant it was almost impossible to quickly subdue the two—unless she wore them down completely, until they exhausted their supply of elixirs.
For the undying Heavenly Demon, war of attrition was commonplace. Just like those deviated cultivators on Southern Sea’s Ice Rock Island, after nearly thousands of years, their heart demons still linger within them.
But Jiang the Witch, thinking desperately of her husband, truly lacked interest in continuing with these two young girls, so she exploited a gap in their coordination and suddenly transford into black mist to slip away.
An Zhisu, seeing this, did not pursue but quickly adjusted her True Yuan, simultaneously using telepathic transmission towards Xu Yinglian:
“Chase or not chase?”
Xu Yinglian quickly replied:
“Last ti she said she was looking for Wei Dongliu; thinking carefully, it seems related to Changgeng and Qing Heng.”
An Zhisu imdiately understood: which ant, following this demon head could likely lead to Qing Heng’s location.
Without hesitation, she directly rged with her sword and pursued the black mist.
