Chapter 407: Uriel’s Assistance (1/2)
'Umm. Excuse me?' Miaomiao was in disbelief.
'Listen here, you little shit. My eyes can see the amount of luck and fate power within you. Right now, your luck is a lot weaker than him. If he survives today, he will evolve and become too strong for you. I think he might even be able to defeat that 9th-stage guy with one hand if we leave him alone for a year.'
'I know that already.'
As Uriel had warned him, Miaomiao was aware of Ling Tianlong's potential and threat as an OP reincarnated protagonist. The guy was supposed to be on Lu Fengxian's level.
Now, without Lu Fengxian to keep Ling Tianlong in check, the job fell to Miaomiao's hands.
But the problem was, could he defeat Ling Tianlong with his current strength? How strong was Ling Tianlong now?
'It's up to you if you will accept my help. Don't you like your plot armor?'
'I do. I need to kill him before this bastard come back to cause more problem for us.'
'Then, let me, your plot armor, help you.'
'But what's your goal? You can't be helping me for free.'
'Everything is for the best of business. Master said that your channel is a potential gold mine, and I can't allow you to die early.'
'… Fair enough. Then, I'll be in your care.'
'Good choice!'
Uriel averted his eyes from Miaomiao and began tampering with the fate, karma, and luck of everybody here in secret while he distracted them with his suggestion.
”Fang Yanxu. How about we let Mao Miaomiao and Ling Tianlong fight each other? If Mao Miaomiao wins, you return your daughter to him. But if Mao Miaomiao loses, you can take your daughter home, and I'll keep my mouth shut about what you've been doing.”
”Unacceptable. You can't give me an unfair condition. Ling Tianlong will obviously lose!”
Uriel turned to Ling Tianlong, ”What about your opinion? Do you think you can beat Mao Miaomiao with your current condition? If you say yes, I'll resume your little game. But if you decline, I'll respect your decision, but the war game will end right here.”
Ling Tianlong stared at the archangel, contemplating the pros and cons. Then, he looked at Miaomiao.
”I decline. I'm not a tool of that immortal. If he wants someone to work for him, he should pick someone else.”
”You sure? Okay, then. Fang Yanxu, you'll have to bring your daughter here and let her choose where she wants to live. You know what my master always said, right? Respect the free will of mortals regardless if they're someone's slaves. If your daughter wants to stay here, she can stay here. If she wants to return with you, she can go back with you.”
Fang Yanxu paused as he hesitated.
But Uriel kept the pressure on, ”Also, we'll have a lot to discuss the exile tribulation after this. If I remember correctly, this tribulation is banned in Heaven Realms. I don't know much about your Immortal Realms, but we should visit Samsara to have a talk. As for you, Ling Tianlong, you're under arrest for reincarnating without drinking Aunty Meng Po's wine. You'll come with us.”
”WAIT!!”
Now, Ling Tianlong panicked as he had never expected that Uriel would really arrest him.
As Uriel and Fang Yanxu had said, he violated the Samsara Law for the sake of rebuilding his strength. If he were to be taken to the immortal realm, Kishin Douji might find him and kill him again. If he was lucky, his soul would be destroyed. Otherwise, his soul might be trapped in Kishin Douji or Samsara's prison for eternity.
Without a choice, Ling Tianlong tried to negotiate with Uriel, ”Senior Angel, if I fight Mao Miaomiao and win, could you overlook this? I have my reasons for doing this.”
”Kishin Douji, I assume.”
Ling Tianlong shuddered in fear. This angel was too well-informed - Even his secret and motive were discovered.
Still, Ling TIanlong tried to appeal to Uriel, ”Kishin Douji has been waging war against humanity and human immortals. I, as a human immortal, did my best to protect innocent mortals and immortals from those perverted monsters.”
”And you died to him.”
”Regrettably, yes. But I reincarnated here, so I could train the mortals here and prepare for the worse. I know that, eventually, Kishin Douji will come here and enslave us all! Please check the world record for proof. I've been raising the Mount Hua Sect with my knowledge while I fought to cleanse the land from Kishin Douji's goons!”
Ling Tianlong planned to involve Macho Joshua and his angels in his conflict sooner or later. He wanted to persuade Uriel to mobilize his men against the Oni Clans as well.
Before Ling Tianlong could ask for Uriel's favor, the archangel glanced at Wei Yuan, who was also an Oni, ”Then, tell me, Ling Tianlong. You said that you fought for the sake of humanity, right?”
”Yes.”
”You also said that you wanted to prepare your men for the sake of protecting this world from Kishin Douji?”
”Yes.”
”Then, why are you attacking Siren City with Yuan Shaoqing?”
”Demons, beastmen, and non-human beings are evil! They will eventually join forces with Kishin Douji. We must eliminate them before they become a threat!”
”HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
Uriel couldn't take it anymore. He burst into laughter, finding Ling Tianlong's story hilarious.
”Oh, dear. How pitiful. You are a bearer of fate, but you chose the wrong opponent and wrong method. To be honest, had I met you in any divine planets in Heaven Realms, I would have sent you to Hell.”
”What?”
”I won't tell you what you did wrong, but you fucked up royally. Anyway, back to the topic before I get too sidetracked,” Uriel coughed and glanced at Fang Yanxu. ”Here's the deal. If Ling Tianlong wins, we'll pretend that we never saw you, and you get to take your daughter back home. But if Mao Miaomiao wins, we'll kill Ling Tianlong and drag his soul to the court. As for your daughter, she will stay in this world. Is that a deal?”
”…”
Fang Yanxu nodded and accepted the challenge.
As for Ling Tianlong, he was not in the position to decline the bet. Reluctantly, he also agreed to Uriel's terms.
