Chapter 1922: Chapter 1923: Gathering at the Gate
After speaking, Cui Manlou’s icy gaze turned to the two Cave Masters, Silver Dragon and Bixiao, whose eyes were noticeably evasive. Before Cui Manlou’s arrival, the two indeed hadn’t noticed Su Chengyu’s final trick left on the Dragon Slayer Sword.
“The Earth Immortal was never the end goal of cultivation. From the mont you joined the Demonic Path, you should have understood what it is we truly pursue.”
“Yes.”
Qing Tian lowered his head. In front of Cui Manlou, he completely lacked the deanor of an Earth Immortal.
To Cui Manlou, all of this seed utterly natural.
It was not Cui Manlou himself they feared, but the ancient power of the Demonic Path he inherited.
The origin of all Demonic Paths, and the immortal behind the fall of this world’s Creative Power.
The true immortal.
“My lord, even if those other people around this guy co, will Su Zhedian really co?”
“He has to co, or rather, him not coming wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. As long as we can completely sever the connection between this realm and that world, the goal will be achieved.”
The Silver Dragon Cave Master’s brows furrowed even deeper at these words: “But without Su Zhedian’s help, how can we achieve this?”
Qing Tian turned his gaze to that sword, which was inserted into the Primordial Tree and bore an eighty percent resemblance to the Dragon Slayer.
It was the anchor point left by Su Zhedian to connect the two realms. They had already tried to pull out the sword before Su Chengyu’s arrival.
But even with the combined strength of the two, they couldn’t pull it out to completely sever the connection between the two worlds.
“We couldn’t do it before, but it might not be the case after. Why worry, if Su Zhedian doesn’t co, I have my ways to solve this problem. You just need to be ready for contingencies.”
Qing Tian and the Silver Dragon exchanged a look.
They understood that the contingency Cui Manlou referred to must be an enemy of the Earth Immortal Realm.
But apart from the now inevitably severely wounded Su Zhedian, they could not think of any other Land Immortal who might rush over.
Seeing their confusion, Cui Manlou simply chuckled and said, “Just wait and see.”
anwhile, in Yu Yanshu’s chaotic space, having completed the refining of the three things Bai Qiu entrusted her with, Yu Yanshu finally stopped her actions.
She turned her head to look at Chen ngng, but the demonic qi surrounding Xu Nanzhi was still stubbornly resisting.
“How much longer until Master Mother can break free?”
Yu Yanshu instinctively asked, but was pulled aside by Yu Shuang, who shook her head, indicating Yu Yanshu should not disturb her.
Perplexed, Yu Yanshu asked, “What, has sothing happened?”
Only then did Yu Shuang explain, “ngng has tried several tis, but all ended in failure, and she even got a bit injured herself.”
Hearing Yu Shuang’s words, Yu Yanshu noticed that Chen ngng’s current condition was incomparable to before.
Her complexion was deathly pale, and the aura within her was extrely chaotic and mottled—clearly, she was reaching her limit.
“Not even an Earth Immortal, doing such things, are you asking for a long life?”
The cold voice sounded from the side, startling everyone who was unaware. They turned sharply only to see Long Xuan’s face, as if chiseled by a knife.
“Long Xuan, why are you here?”
Yu Shuang asked in surprise, completely unexpected to see Long Xuan at this ti.
“What? Thought I’d die at Yang Chengyin’s hands?”
“No, I’m just curious, how did you escape, after all…”
“After all, his aim was just to hold back, right.”
Long Xuan picked up from Yu Shuang’s words, his mouth flickering hesitantly but didn’t continue.
At this mont, another voice rang out: “Hey, isn’t it fine if you can’t escape by yourself, it’s not sothing shaful. Indeed, it was this young master who rescued him.”
A more unexpected voice appeared, everyone stared at the completely unfazed Yang Junmo standing there.
Yang Junmo’s appearance was unexpected for them.
Yang Junmo now possessed the power of the Hollow Vacuum, which they didn’t expect.
Yang Junmo helping Long Xuan escape from Yang Chengyin’s hands further baffled them.
“Yang Junmo, you helped Long Xuan fight against your father?”
Listening to Yu Shuang’s words, Yang Junmo looked over with candor: “Yeah, is there a problem?”
Seeing the still-puzzled expression of everyone, Yang Junmo blinked and said, “Don’t worry, although I have so minor faults as a person, I still understand right from wrong. Since he’s done so many wrong things, he naturally needs to take responsibility for his actions.”
The crowd listened to Yang Junmo’s extraordinarily candid words, exchanging glances.
The truth is the truth, but how many of the world’s truths are truly misunderstood?
But understanding is one thing; acting on it is another.
Especially with Yang Junmo’s current carefree deanor, it surprised many, particularly shocking Yu Shuang deeply.
“So, you’ve decided to stand against your father?”
Yang Junmo turned to notice Yu Shuang’s face, even heavier than his own, realizing sothing, he finally put away his previous cavalier attitude and took a deep breath, speaking seriously.
“You’re wrong, it’s not that I stand against him, but that he stands against the world. I’m his son, but first and foremost, I’m a human being. What he has done has long surpassed the bounds of what humanity can tolerate. If at this mont, I cannot discern right from wrong, then I’m not only unworthy as a son, but also unworthy as a person.”
Before being a son, one is first a person.
Yu Shuang listened to these words, her heart stirred, and once again she fell into silence.
This also made Yang Junmo certain that Yu Shuang had similar troubles to his own, leading him to smile.
“As for my nonchalant manner, it’s just due to my personality. Everyone is different, even if the decisions are the sa. The way of handling things is bound to differ, so you do not need to overly reference my thods.”
“Mm, thank you.”
Yu Shuang nodded, thanking Yang Junmo, realizing that these words indeed relieved much of the burden weighing on her heart.
On the other hand, Long Xuan, not focusing on the conversation between the two, walked directly to Chen ngng’s side, gathering golden mana in his palm and placing it onto Chen ngng’s body.
With Long Xuan’s vast mana flowing in, the Power of Cause and Effect from Chen ngng transmitted to Xu Nanzhi’s side instantly expanded countless tis over.
Golden light interwoven seeped through the gaps in the demonic qi and, almost instantly, completely destroyed the demonic qi that trapped Xu Nanzhi.
“Are you alright?”
Xu Nanzhi shook her head at Yu Shuang’s worried question. Though trapped in the demonic qi, she was aware of the happenings around her and imdiately looked towards Yu Yanshu.
“Yan’er, get ready to reinforce the seal.”
“Yes, Master Mother.”
Upon receiving the order, Yu Yanshu looked towards Chen ngng, who didn’t speak but nodded firmly, indicating her condition was fine. Only then did the two refocus on the seal.
“One stick of incense worth of ti, that should be enough.”
Long Xuan observed the sealed area and imdiately ca to a conclusion, then glanced at Xu Nanzhi and asked.
“Ye Qingci, didn’t she co with you?”
Xu Nanzhi shook her head: “Sister Ye said she had other urgent matters and told us to co first; she will catch up soon. Why? Is there a problem?”
“No problem.”
Although he said it was nothing, Long Xuan’s worried frown clearly indicated his concern.
Since Long Xuan was unwilling to speak, others didn’t pursue it, as their relationship with Long Xuan was noticeably distant.
At this mont, Xu Nanzhi suddenly thought of sothing and looked at Yang Junmo.
“Yang Junmo, have you seen Chengyu recently?”
