Chapter 748 - Sorry, I Do Want To Court Disaster (2/2)
Although Xuan Mo didn’t understand the Holy Light and didn’t even think about the principle of Holy Light’s poison removal, she knew that she finally got rid of the nightmare that had troubled the Earth Immortals for countless years.
“Thank you, w.a.n.g Lu. You are really…” Xuan Mo trembled and opened her mouth. When her cherry lips were slightly opened, she was actually speechless. She had too much to say, but there was no way to say it.
However, Xuan Mo soon calmed her agitated mind and said, “Thank you for saving me, but right now, Senior Gem Emperor is more important. She is the most indispensable member of all of us. Please…”
w.a.n.g Lu said with a wry smile, “The poison similar to that in your body has now erupted in the City of Immortals, and it seems that I am the only one who can remove it.”
Xuan Mo was shocked.
w.a.n.g Lu’s words revealed a basic contradiction.
Senior Gem Emperor in Thunder Reservoir needed w.a.n.g Lu, but the City of Immortals needed him more.
Senior Gem Emperor was an important member of the Earth Immortals, but to w.a.n.g Lu, she could only be regarded as an ordinary friend. In contrast, the City of Immortals was everything to w.a.n.g Lu.
w.a.n.g Lu had the cure. When he returned to the City of Immortals, the poison removal could be guaranteed. However, Black in Thunder Reservoir occupied the best and strategic position, so much that the other Earth Immortals were unable to shake him off. In that situation, how much role could w.a.n.g Lu play as a Yuanying Stage cultivator?
One by one, problems appeared in Xuan Mo’s mind, which made her mood continue to sink.
“Why do you want to find w.a.n.g Lu?” w.a.n.g Wu asked, “Logically, w.a.n.g Lu is not the best person. Wouldn’t you be better off looking for me than him?”
It was true that to go to Thunder Reservoir to rescue Senior Gem Emperor, the number one Jindan in Nine Regions was far more suitable than w.a.n.g Lu, who had just reached Yuanying Stage.
“It was on the behest of Senior Gem Emperor.” Xuan Mo replied, “From the beginning to the end, she didn’t ask for help, but… She asked us to find w.a.n.g Lu.”
w.a.n.g Lu shook his head and said with a smile, “This chick, it’s not enough for her to die alone, does she have to drag me down with her?”
“Never!” Xuan Mo’s voice was a bit higher, “Senior Gem Emperor will do no such childish thing. She… There must be something important. w.a.n.g Lu, even if you don’t believe us, you can at least trust Senior Gem Emperor!”
w.a.n.g Lu asked, “If I can’t trust you, who knows if Senior Gem Emperor is really trapped in Thunder Reservoir? Or even if Thunder Reservoir really exists? Maybe you are a spy sent by Black? If that’s the case, then all the previous discussions have nothing of value at all.”
“I…” Xuan Mo was tongue-tied. At this moment, if w.a.n.g Lu insisted on doubting her, she had no way to prove her innocence.
“I don’t doubt you.” w.a.n.g Lu said, “But to rescue Senior Gem Emperor…”
At this time, w.a.n.g Wu suddenly said, “Go.”
“Huh? Why?”
w.a.n.g Wu thought about it and said, “There are two reasons. The first is based on a simple logic: If the enemy wants us to do it, we should not do it. Just now, on our way back to the City of Immortals, didn’t we come across Black’s avatar? Now think about it, wasn’t it a bit too easy to get rid of him? Even Bai Ze, a waste, relying on an immortal treasure, could block my sword attack while he is seriously injured—well, although the price is that he seems to be dying. But is Black’s avatar not as good as the seriously injured Bai Ze?”
w.a.n.g Lu muttered to himself irresolutely, “Do you want to say that Black’s interception is actually a kind of diversionary tactic, to make us think that he doesn’t want us to go back to the City of Immortals? But in fact…”
“In fact, if we don’t go to the City of Immortals, but to Thunder Reservoir, he would be in great trouble… Of course, this is just my guess.” w.a.n.g Wu seriously said, “And the second reason is that the problem of the City of Immortals is not necessarily for you.”
“If I don’t go there, who else can get rid of the strange poison of the Fallen Immortal?”
w.a.n.g Wu pointed to herself and said, “I am.”
“…”
“Faceless has already explained the principle of the trick of the Fallen Immortals. Well, it’s not a groundbreaking originality to fight for power at the level of faith. I happen to know a friend who is good at this. Responding to my call, she should be near the City of Immortals.”
“… A friend like Youyou?”
“Oh, if you don’t trust me, you can also add an insurance, granting me a t.i.tle such as the Holy Woman of Holy Light Religion, or the likes, so that I have the management authority of the Holy Light. In short, it’s still the same sentence, the problem of the City of Immortals is not necessarily yours. But over there in Thunder Reservoir, the person pointed by Senior Gem Emperor is you, not anyone else.”
w.a.n.g Lu didn’t waste too much time to think about it.
“Very well, we’ll do as you say. You go to the City of Immortals while I go to Thunder Reservoir. As for these two people…”
Xuan Mo said, “I’ll go to the City of Immortals to call for people. There are too many of our companions who are still completely in the dark. If they can be mobilized, they will soon be able to solve the situation in Thunder Reservoir.”
However, Bai Ze, who had been seriously injured, forced himself to stand up and said, “I’ll go to Thunder Reservoir. I made a mistake, so I’ll take care of it myself.”
——
Outside the City of Immortals, a female cultivator arrived on top of a crane.
At the city gate, a row of golden armored men blocked her way.
“Who is it?”
When the female cultivator saw this, she smiled and said, “I am Li Yunhe of Eastern Border Region. Entrusted by Daoist Master Non-Phase, I came to solve the difficulties in the City of Immortals.”
