”So you've actually wanted to kill me this entire time.”
The Demon Lord looked at Chen Changsheng and said, ”I thought you gave up on that idea after that day.”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Having once given up does not mean that one will not try again.”
The Demon Lord sighed. ”You really are Shang Xingzhou's student. As expected, you are just as formidable a hypocrite.”
Chen Changsheng said, ”The opportunity that day was not that great.”
”And you think today's opportunity is excellent?”
The Demon Lord smiled. ”You should be well aware that neither the White Emperor nor Madam Mu will let you kill me.”
”Are you talking about equilibrium?”
Chen Changsheng noted, ”It's very difficult to maintain an equilibrium, and those who walk the tightrope rarely have good ends. It is true that whether it's the White Emperor that wins or Madam Mu, neither of them will let me kill you, but they have still not decided who wins and who loses.”
The Demon Lord asked, ”You think that someone like the White Emperor won't have the mind to pay attention to any other matters while dealing with Madam Mu?”
A few moments of silence passed, then Chen Changsheng declared, ”Even if this is his stance, I am not prepared to accept it.”
In the Starfall Mountains, he had used the South Stream Temple sword array to break the sealing array. He had confirmed that the White Emperor was still there, obtaining the best answer.
Unexpectedly, he had Linghai Zhiwang, the Tang clan's Fivekind Man, and all the others return to White Emperor City.
And then he hurried back with Tang Thirty-Six.
It was precisely because he wanted to carry out this task.
Those seemingly perfect answers had all been given out by someone else.
He wanted to write his own answer, one that could not be faked.
He wanted to kill the Demon Lord.
”No one knows if the White Emperor can stop you, but at least for now, he has not stopped you.”
The Demon Lord stared into his eyes and profoundly asked, ”Did you ever think about why he is doing things this way?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Perhaps we are all thinking too much. Maybe there is no equilibrium. Maybe His Majesty the White Emperor also wants to see you die.”
”No, he does not stop you because he knows that you cannot kill me.”
The Demon Lord smiled at the human experts standing outside the courtyard. ”All of you together cannot kill me.”
……
……
Several years ago, the White Emperor engaged in a world-shaking battle with the Demon Lord on the snowy plains. He was heavily injured and was then imprisoned by Madam Mu in a Starstone array for several years. Now that he was released, he should have needed time to recover his strength. Moreover, there were many matters in White Emperor City that he needed to handle, like vengeance.
But he was a true Saint, the hegemon of the west. If he really wanted to stop Chen Changsheng from killing the Demon Lord, he had a variety of methods.
He did nothing, only quietly watched Chen Changsheng have Linghai Zhiwang's group leave, then watched Chen Changsheng fly off on a crane.
Why was this? Was it really as the Demon Lord said?
Chen Changsheng had no idea where the Demon Lord's serene confidence or the White Emperor's tacit approval came from.
He was confident that none of the demon experts would appear today, not the Demon Commander, the legendary Eighth Great Hermit, or even the most enigmatic Black Robe.
Even an expert of the Divine Domain would need some time to fly across tens of thousands of li.
Crucially, he knew that these demon experts had no means of coming here today.
Thus, all the clues pointed at an undisclosed possibility.
Seeing Chen Changsheng's expression, the Demon Lord knew that Chen Changsheng had guessed at something. He calmly asked, ”You still insist on killing me?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”If this really is the case, then it's even more important that I kill you. Of course… your place will drop down on the list.”
The Demon Lord curiously asked, ”Because of Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi?”
Chen Changsheng answered, ”One who comes from afar is a guest, and the earlier that one dies, the earlier one can go home.”
At the start of this part of the conversation, no one understood what they were talking about.
The first to realize was Tang Thirty-Six, and his complexion instantly paled.
