Chapter 2084 - A small favour (2/2)

Great Master Liu frowned and spoke as if he was in a difficult position, “Envoy You, if you are really worried for me, then let this brat come with me.”

Envoy You looked at who he was pointing at and his expression changed. However, he still forced himself to agree.

“You. Go with Great Master Liu.” He pointed at Sima You Yue.

“Understood.” Sima You Yue obediently walked behind Great Master Liu and followed him and flew to another mountain peak.

Once they left everyone, the row of mountains just happened to block them from everyone’s line of sight.

At this moment, Great Master Liu stopped and said while looking at Sima You Yue, “Senior, are you confident in dealing with this force?”

Sima You Yue smiled, “Great Master Liu, your words are heavy. I’m not your Senior.”

“People like us who walk in the light do not speak in riddles.” Great Master Liu said, “You are able to see what I cannot with regards to the force. It proves that you are stronger than me. I even chose to mask it for you from the beginning, and had no plans to rat you out.”

“I have to thank you, great Master Liu, for what happened before. However, I am no great master.” Sima You Yue said.

Great Master Liu saw that Sima You Yue was not willing to admit it, so he did not force this term of address on her. Instead, he asked, “What do you think about this?”

“The force here has actually formed a soul, so it will not be easy to deal with. However, it’s not like we have no way to deal with it.” Sima You Yue said.

Great Master Liu’s eyes shone when he heard what she said, “Do you have a plan?”

“Let’s talk about that in a moment. Right now, we should wonder what those people are going to do?” Sima You Yue said.

“What do you mean?” Great Master Liu was stunned.

“Do you not feel it?” Sima You Yue looked over in that direction.

Great Master Liu followed where she was looking and he was completely stunned.

“Those- those…” He looked at the formeless things in the sky and wanted to speak out to warn them, but found that he was unable to speak at all.”

“It’s useless.” Sima You Yue’s clear voice allowed him to slowly come back to his senses, “These guys have not yet attacked, but they can do so fairly quickly. Even if you warned them, they would not survive.”

“But- but…”

“I do have a way to stay alive. Since you did not expose me just now, I can ensure your safety. However, how are you going to explain yourself to Hua Wu Xiang once you return?” Sima You Yue continued, “All of his men died, and one of them is even one of his capable subordinates. If you are the only one to return, then what will he think?”

“Every life saved is one more life preserved.” Great Master Liu said.

“Will they let you go?” Sima You Yue looked at him, “You want to return, but has Envoy You given you the power to choose? They don’t care about your survival at all, so why would you put your life on the line for them?”

Great Master Li fell silent and only said after a moment, “I’ll listen to you. Tell me, what should I do?”

“I’m not a good person, but I don’t kill people for no reason either. What you did just now can be considered as a small favour to me. I can ensure that you can leave this place safely, but I”m afraid that you will no longer be able to live in the Vermillion Soul region anymore.

All the men that Envoy You had brought would die, which meant that he would no longer be able to appear before Hua Wu Xiang.

“However, you will not have to hide for long. You will be able to regain your freedom next time..” Sima You Yue added on.
