Chapter 1143: A Game of Chess (2/2)

“Don’t you want to think it over some more?” The man looked at the couple, equally surprised by the ease of negotiations. “You need to realize what the consequences of lying to me are. Even that bridge may not be able to protect you if it appears again.”

“There’s nothing to think about. When the immortal dao traverses the fourth realm, we will give you the world of immortals if you want it.” Qing Yu chuckled, “Our only concern is that you won’t dare want it then.”

“Hahahaha!!” The man threw his head back in laughter. “Good, good, very good! Since even the dao sovereign has spoken thus, it would be contemptible of me if I continued to drag things out.

“Dao Sovereign, you must know that your every word and gesture represents the immortal dao. You making this decision means the same of the immortal dao. Then, I shall return to this place once the immortal dao reaches the ends of the fourth realm.”

He took a meaningful look at Di Ling before turning to leave.

Di Ling trembled as some sort of restriction seemed to shatter within her body, releasing her from the crimson-haired man’s clutches. He was a great master of the third realm, one known by all. Since he’d reached an agreement with Lu Yun and Qing Yu, he wouldn’t play any other tricks.

“How could you agree to that??” Di Ling frowned tightly with dismay. “This Blood Sea is only the weakest one out of all the ones he has. There are countless other Blood Seas in other worlds and they can all be used to capture the true Blood Sea!

“The world of immortals is too important and has something to do with the secrets of the fourth realm. There are more than him in the third realm who want the world of immortals! He also holds some terrifying karmic relationship in the third realm, making it so that no one dares interact with him, much less a promise!”

In her unease, she fired off her words at a rapid clip. She’d originally fallen into the chaos from the third realm, then reincarnated into a being beneath the immortal dao. Now that she was free from the cycle of rebirth, she remembered everything she’d ever come across.

“Don’t worry, he can have it if he wants it.” Unbidden, Qing Yu caressed Di Ling’s head. The Blood Sea was flowing into hell under Carmine Eternal’s direction.

“Since there are so many in the third realm who want the world of immortals, then they can fight over it themselves. Perhaps none of them will dare want the world when the time comes,” Qing Yu chuckled again.

Both Lu Yun and Qing Yu now fully understood what the world of immortals was. This was an enormous game of chess and the players weren’t the masters of the great wilderness. They, too, were just pawns. If Leize and the others came to this world, they would also fall under someone else’s control.

All the signs pointed to various setups designed not to destroy the world, but to destroy all life in the world and sweep away some sort of obstacle.

“The Di Clan should have some lingering wills in the Blood Sea. Collect them and take them to the  Hell Flowers. Your clan might have a chance to be reborn then.” Lu Yun smiled to see Di Ling still staring off in a daze. She trembled like a leaf when his words registered.

“Do you mean… they can come back to life?!” She stared incredulously at Lu Yun.

“We’ll know if we try.” Carmine Eternal took Di Ling’s hand and set foot into the Gates of the Abyss.

“I’ve been short on someone I can haul out as a convenient patron. That guy delivered himself on a silver platter.” A relaxed Lu Yun raised an eyebrow at Qing Yu. “This gives us enough time to strengthen ourselves.”

“That may be the case, but if he knows that we want to combine the Hadal Hell with the world of immortals…” Qing Yu paused.

“No worries, he won’t find out.” Lu Yun grinned confidently.
