Chapter 683 Retired Veteran (2/2)
When Xuan Mo heard this, she could not help but ask, ”Then what do you care about?”
”I care about right and wrong.” Bai Ze earnestly said, ”I am a slow learner. I couldn't learn to be a military G.o.d like Big Brother, nor be a literary genius like you guys, so I couldn't care about too many things. The only thing that I could care about is right and wrong. If something is wrong, I would reject it.”
Xuan Mo patiently said, ”Isn't that very good?”
”The problem is, right now, I could not tell right from wrong.” Bai Ze's voice was filled with bitterness. ”Since that's the case, what's the use in keeping me in my position in Earth Immortal camp?”
Xuan Mo urgently said, ”It's just a defeat. Besides, the person who set up the line up was the man in black, so even if you have to take responsibility, it's not yours alone. How could you just give up your responsibility handed to you by Big Brother?”
Bai Ze was silent for a long time as he looked carefully at Xuan Mo. Then, he earnestly said.
”Big Brother is already dead.”

When the Earth Immortal camp fell into silence, the other camp, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, was naturally rejoicing.
It would not be too much to describe this great victory with any magnificent word. Thus, people simply didn't bother to describe too much beyond just ”revelry”, which was staged in the City of Immortals.
Since the start of the Grand Compet.i.tion, the several months of repression had finally been released at that moment. The wild-with-joy cultivators staged a variety of ridiculous scenes in the City of Immortals.
However, amidst the frenzy situation, there were many people that always remained calm.
For example, the Chief Planner of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals who skillfully directed the whole victory, w.a.n.g Lu.
The courtyard in the Immortal Five Area remained as tranquil as ever. The light breeze blew the green willow tree.
Even the voice in the courtyard was gentle and light.
”w.a.n.g Lu, you are a fool.”
A woman helplessly said, ”For the sake of victory, you don't even care about your own life… That in itself is not a big matter, after all, your little Jindan life isn't worth any money. The problem is the Golden Silkworm, Same Body Insect, and Five Element Soil Mate, you should at least discuss it with me before you decide to spend them.
w.a.n.g Lu sarcastically responded, ”After the discussion, you recommended me to change it to fake products with an effect that could reach eighty percent of the original but at the cost of a tenth?”
The woman said righteously, ”From the point of view of cost-effectiveness, that is a wise choice.”
”Indeed so, that was why the first time you applied for immortal level stage props to be used specifically for training, I've handled them cost-effectively.”
The next moment, the woman's sharp voice cut through the quiet atmosphere in the courtyard. ”w.a.n.g Lu you little sh*t! Just you wait!”
Then, like a lighting, a green sword shadow flew away, apparently anxious about something.
Inside the room, w.a.n.g Lu sighed and laid down.
This was his bedroom, right next to study-slash-office room. In the bedroom, there were plain but elegant furniture specifically provided by the Mysterious Sky Mansion of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, immortal plants rich in spiritual energy, as well as priceless incense.
By this time, w.a.n.g Lu had enjoyed the same treatment as high-ranking Elders of Heavenly Sage Hall. Even the quilt on his body had magical and mysterious effects. Just this quilt alone was enough to bankrupt a small sect in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
Unfortunately, no matter how all these kinds of luxuries added up, they could not hide the sickly appearance in w.a.n.g Lu's face.
Of course, on the surface, w.a.n.g Lu was still comfortably relaxed—since his achievement in Non-Phase Method, it was hard to see his painful and embarra.s.sing expression. However, as long as one was not blind, one could see his weakness.
Behind a brilliant victory, there was, of course, a painful price. The Earth Immortal camp paid their loss with two lives and one person's face, while the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals camp seemed to have won a total victory. However, that was only because all the losses were paid by w.a.n.g Lu.
Not to mention anything else, the poison from Little Poison Immortal that attacked him through the Same Body Insect, how could it be so easy to resist? If it was any other Jindan, their bones and flesh would've turned into pus. Even if w.a.n.g Lu's attainment in Non-Phase Method was astonis.h.i.+ng and he came prepared with a whole range of detoxification drugs, the process was still difficult.
Let alone not long after that, he had used his entire energy to control the Five Element Soil Mate in a short but fierce and brilliant battle against Bai Ze. Using that fake replacement did not aggravate his physical injury, but the burden on his primordial spirit was unavoidable. When the poison had not been removed, his primordial spirit was heavily burdened. Thus, one could only imagine the pressure that he had to bear.
After the challenge, everyone was jubilant and wild with joy, but after w.a.n.g Lu mocked Bai Ze, he spat out blood on the spot and fainted in his Master's arms. Fortunately, he had already antic.i.p.ated this. Thus, when he was mocking, he hid in the dark, not letting any outsiders look at his true condition.
However, after the fierce fight, the injuries that he sustained should, after all, be taken care off.
Fortunately, in the room, there was the top detoxification expert in the entire Nine Regions.
The witch doctor, A Wu.
