769 Cause And Effec (1/2)
Within the world river, Dragon Shadow smiled and looked casually opposite him.
His eyes were filled with a mocking intent, ”Is this Qingming, your third disciple Kunming's Granddaughter? I heard that she is the one within these 5,000 years that has the highest chance of reaching the End Realm? Speaking of which, you really have no choice but to protect her life. However, her Great Yin and Yang Technique is a huge problem for my disciple. So, should I sit still and not do anything or first claim her life?”
Qingxuan instantly retracted his vast True Qi after he helped her. Her face was extremely serious, ”She isn't the only one who can cultivate that. Only this time when your disciple faces the tribulation will he face such a danger, you do not need to worry about it. Longxuan and Huayun's battle with Aokun is still undecided today and they might die. I can't let her...”
Seeing Aokun listen impassively and not bother much, Qingxuan scoffed coldly, ”Before Zong Shou steps into the Saint Realm, Kunming and I won't personally attack him! We also won't plot against him. Are you happy with that?”
Dragon Shadow smiled, ”That is a deal! Senior Xi Zi was said to have fallen in your hands.”
To force this person to make such a promise was a huge surprise.
The outer region was huge and even he might not be able to protect him all the time.
Compared to Qingxuan's cultivation, what was more problematic was his intelligence and traps which one couldn't defend against.
Qingxuan scoffed with disdain and turned to the side. One couldn't see any traces of Huayun, Longxuan and Aokun in the World River.
However, when Qingxuan looked out, he easily saw past a pillar and looked into a place millions of times smaller than the Cloud World.
It was a small world that was forcefully opened by the two of them in the space fissure.
Saint Realm Cultivators could easily destroy worlds with their strength. Once war started, it might drag down the surrounding dozens of worlds. No one was willing to affect the Cloud World, which was why they directly opened up a space to fit the three of them in.
Aokun and Huayun were both within.
His eyes flashed as he asked curiously, ”Cultivator, what secret path does the Evil Dragon cultivate in, to make you have so much confidence?”
”Oh? What do you mean?” Dragon Shadow rose his brow in confusion.
Qingxuan shook his head slightly, ”Why do you need to act dumb? With your personality, if not for you having confidence in the Evil Dragon and him having a chance of winning, you wouldn't allow him to do this...”
Dragon Shadow was startled. He knew that Qingxuan was trying to probe, but it was also something he was worried about.
He sighed for a long while before he laughed awkwardly, ”You really know me! Aokun has a 60% chance of winning. However, whether or not I will regret it or not is another matter!”
When he heard this, Qingxuan was surprised. Dragon Shadow's words were totally true. The worry in his eyes dissipated and was replaced with curiosity.
Huayun grasped the Dragon Spirit Sword and was able to use Cause and Effect Techniques. His Grand Path itself was not bad. This 60% winning chance was already shocking.
Aokun had only escaped for less than 5 years and only reached Saint Realm two years ago, how did he have 60% confidence? Was it that Destruction Path? That was impossible!
He felt that the battle between Huayun and Aokun was extremely important to him.
He looked closely. A moment later, shock appeared in his eyes, ”So, this Evil Dragon is already Intermediate Saint Realm. He used the Dragon Swallowing Technique, right?”
Dragon Shadow didn't reply, his expression revealing a bitter intent. Qingxuan's brow frowned deeply.
Intermediate Saint Realm could only allow Aokun to have the ability to fight against Huayun.
Even the Destruction Path as well as the Dragon Swallowing Technique's cultivation, without time to settle down, he might not be able to battle an Intermediate Saint Realm expert like Huayun.
He still didn't know what methods Aokun had that could allow Dragon Shadow to recognize him?
※※※※
Aokun stepped foot into the wide void. In front of him was Huayun and behind was Longxuan.
His Spiritual Sense detected Qingxuan's intent which was sweeping around his body, trying to peak at the secrets within.
Aokun wasn't bothered, focusing on Huayun and the sword in his hand with a dark and cold gaze.
The body of the sword was pale gold and at the end of the handle, a red pellet was chiseled in.
Huayun didn't try to hide anything, allowing him to see it fully. He said calmly, ”Brother Ao should be really familiar with this Dragon Pellet. It is the Cause and Effect Pellet that belonged to you before you were sealed. Originally, I was just borrowing it to use, once you became my Master's disciple, I was going to return it to you. Now, it seems like I don't have to return it anymore...”
He laughed, ”Do you know? Bi'er herself even personally help me chisel this Dragon Pellet into the sword. She didn't want me to face trouble when I'm out in the outer region. Your pellet is extraordinary, actually merging with a bit of Spiritual Sense. A little more and it could become a second soul. If not for Bi'er using her own blood to do so, she wouldn't have been able to suppress it.”
Aokun was expressionless as he listened on. However, it was impossible to let these few words shake his soul.
A few days ago, he might have cared. However, when he personally looked at these two people today, he knew that the Aobi of yesterday and the Longxuan of today were totally different. He was cold toward them and didn't care at all.
How was such a woman worth his time and effort?
If there was anything in his chest that bothered him, it was hatred and regret...
Regret that he was blind for half his life to live as such a despicable person!
He hated himself for being affected by love and actually causing his only sister to die!
Huayun still continued to mock and tease, ”Brother Ao, do you want to know why Bi'er left you and chose me? It was because she had to flee every day when she was by your side, never having a safe and peaceful day. Ask yourself, what have you given her over the years...”
