993 Island Chief From What Background? (2/2)
He had never met such a Dharmakaya in his whole life.
”Do you mean that you are afraid of the four Divine Fairies and want to surrender to them and then be controlled by the Nine-revolving Black Pill? Or that you think you can get out of Golden Turtle Island just by yourself?” Tai Li asked.
Gao Lan pointed his sword to the side. His tall body stood there like a heavenly pillar:
”I simply don't trust you. Just like Su Daji.”
”Why?” Tai Li frowned and wondered if his reputation was so bad.
Gao Lan said, ”I know Su Daji's background as well as yours. We both know that she's from green hills. A nine-tailed fox who used to guard the Xuan Yuan Emperor's ancient tomb from ancient times. You are both from a demon race and you must be close to each other. How can I trust you? Everything happening on Golden Turtle Island might be set up by your demon race.”
Tai Li smiled bitterly and said, ”I used to think the same. But it is hard to understand the Island Chief. He seemed to want to build a similarly prosperous dynasty like the Shang Dynasty and rule over all the human race, demon race, fairies, Gods, Buddhas, and Monsters. And he saw everyone as equal. We entered the Aquamarine Palace later than you did because Demon King Baize failed in his sweet talk with the Island Chief.”
”So you mean that the Island Chief is from a demon race background?” Gao Lan soon got the point.
Tai Li did not hide. He said, ”According to the record placed in the Demon King's hall, Golden Turtle Island used to be Lord Ling Bao's place. And he is the symbol of all things in the world. Therefore he treated every race equally and therefore was greatly admired by we demons. After he disappeared, a great sage from demon race took Su Daji and Shang descendants to this island. He should be the island chief mentioned by Daji and he must be sleeping right now and is waiting for the great trial to come and this has delayed his plan to build another Shang Dynasty.”
Great sage of demon race must be at least legend mighty people.
”A great sage…” Gao Lan repeated as if he was thinking about his root, ”Who is that?”
He lifted his left hand and made an obvious gesture.
”Yes,” Tai Li's face turned solemn and was full of respect.
Gao Lan did not ask further about it and took back his sword a bit. He asked, ”In the Aquamarine Palace, why didn't you resist?”
Tai Li snorted and said, ”I know that you, Luda, and Su Wuming are strong enough to fight against two or three Divine Fairies. I would have some chance to issue an attack at that time. But the Aquamarine Palace might be fake, it was the core place on Golden Turtle Island. Su Daji could easily move us all to the Chaos Fragment. Even if I resisted, she could easily escape. We would not be able to defeat them even with the Formation. Then do you want the Island Chief to wake up or not?”
”We all know that there only exists a few legends and one could even barely see a Divine Fairy. Such a right-hand man was hard to find for even a great sage. It is possible for him to return in advance with his back to the wall. After all, we are all in the Aquamarine Palace, which is not related with the outside world. One can still go back to sleep afterwards. Just one need to pay certain price for it. But in the Chaos Fragment, his intention to return in advance will drop when confronted with only a few Dharmakaya.”
Tai Li sighed, ”If I knew this beforehand, I would not come at all for the banquet. I was thinking better not to cause any trouble and pretend to surrender to them but I never expected that they would act like this.”
”If you didn't come, how would you know Golden Turtle Island was the kind that is ferocious in appearance but feeble in essence?” Gao Lan said with cynicism. Then he continued, ”I don't trust you enough to work together with you but I can promise not to fight with you.”
Tai Li did not expect Gao Lan to cooperate with other assistants. This is the best result he could hope for currently. He nodded slightly and said, ”Let's go on our own separate way and see who can get out of this Chaos Fragment first.”
They two then rode on conveyance light with alert and headed in opposite directions.
…
Gao Lan rose up for a few seconds and soon he felt a sudden jolt. A burning spear pointed at his back.
…
Tai Li headed towards the clouds with red, green, yellow, white and black lights shining behind his back. And soon he felt his flesh creep as he found out a golden sword cutting down right above his head with an imposing manner without warning!
