Chapter 617 Trial within Trial (2/2)
The Lady Mother of the Chariot replied, ”Do you think after this, you can still be the Daoist Lu Ya?”
The 'girl in red' remained indifferent. She lifted her palm and said, ”Lunar Deity, come out now. All these times you constantly want to steal the origin of the Mystical Fire of the Sun to attain Dao. Today I will give you the chance.”
”My fellow Daoist brother, as long you give me the origin of the Mystical Fire of the Sun, I will leave immediately. You know it, it will take me at least a hundred years to absorb the origin of the Mystical Fire. I will not have time for anything else.” In the void there rang through a soft female voice, like the gentle moonlight. Even though one never saw her, one would not doubt she was an extremely beautiful woman.
The 'girl in red' laughed in a disdained manner, ”People say I am a mystery in terms of where I am, but compared to you who never dares to even show your face, I think I am considered a hero, like my fellow Daoist brother Lingbao.”
The Lady Mother of the Chariot spoke coldly, ”If my honored master is here, you won't have a chance to speak in such an arrogant manner.”
The 'girl in red' looked to be indifferent. She looked towards the north and said, ”What, so Emperor Xia, after fake marrying Lunar Deity, you too become someone who dares not to show his face?”
From the north, a darkness appeared from the void. Someone came in carrying a knife. He wore a black royal costume, and his black long hair was fluttering like it was sneaking into the void. From his Herculean body, no one doubted that a demonic flood would happen anytime.
Emperor Xia's cold eyes glanced towards the girl in red who was being possessed by Lu Ya. He said coldly, ”Once I get rid of all of you rebels, I can announce real peace in the Netherworld.”
When he said that, he was full of confidence. In reality, nobody could measure the depth of his demon technique. A lot of people had cultivated under the Primeval Demon Technique, but all of them had a terrible ending. However, Emperor Xia could be the exception.
The girl in red laughed drily, ”Tianyi, what say do you have if Emperor Xia wants to get rid of you?”
Yinshang's king, Tianyi too appeared somewhere near Emperor Xia. He sighed and said, ”I did not wish for this to happen today, as until now, I have no idea whether we can deal a heavy blow to the senior. If we fail this time, with the senior and my fellow Daoist friend, Shen's ability, they will not give us a second chance for this favorable condition to occur.”
Tianyi turned a dead ear towards what Emperor Xia said about getting rid of the rebels. He was an expert in using the united front in beating the opponent. Despite the conflicts between Yinshang and the Xia Kingdom, the target for today remained unchanged, that they had to get rid of the two most unstable factors.
If Shen Lian did not fall into an impasse, it would be impossible for Daoist Lu Ya to appear, as all these whiles, he was waiting for the opportunity to settle the score.
If that was the case, they would have to accomplish the whole task at one stroke, else the consequence would be unimaginable.
Until what happened, Tianyi all the while had a conflicted attitude. He did not wish for Shen Lian to be involved in this murder. As Shen Lian and Daoist Lu Ya were the main characters, for any of them to escape would not be considered a success.
Without Daoist Lu Ya's help, despite Shen Lian had attained the Taiyi state, he was still beaten flat by the Register of Life and Death. Even if Shen Lian found the biggest opportunity through the Queen Mother Wu Vessel by taking in Beginning Qi of Earth, it would not change the ending.
It was unfortunate that despite the many years of calculation, Zujia did not manage to suppress Shen Lian. He probably could not feel at ease until he died.
