Chapter 983: One More Chance!

“Are you really a Dark Nether clansman?” Guan Lian asked seriously.

The Blue Flame Manor martial practitioners grew nervous too. They seemed to know how powerful a Dark Nether clansman was.

Qin Lie laughed softly before looking towards Naji and Zhuang Jing. He said, “What are you guys still waiting for?”

“There’s someone else there!” Wan Bin exclaimed.

Blue Flame Manor’s martial practitioners looked towards Naji’s hiding spot.

The young Asura Race warrior swore in his head before he walked out from behind the Crystal Moon Core.

“An Asura clansman!” Guan Lian’s expression changed.

Every Blue Flame Manor martial practitioner looked serious too.

They were very well aware that the Asura Race was a warlike race among the powerful ancient races. Every Asura clansman possessed incredible combat power and was extremely difficult to deal with.

The human race had had many frictions with the Asura Race while they were developing new realms throughout the years.

Although the human race now ruled over Spirit Realm, they didn’t always gain the upper hand when clashing against the Asura Race.

That was why the human race had always viewed the Asura Race as a powerful enemy.

“I don’t care about the conflict between you human beings.” Naji laughed and cut ties with Qin Lie without hesitation. “I just happened to be passing by this area.”

Guan Lian and the others let out a sigh of relief when they heard this. They didn’t want to fight against an Asura clansman either.

—They were worried that Naji might command a troop of Asura warriors.

“Passing by, huh…” Qin Lie laughed involuntarily.

Qin Lie immediately realized that Naji planned to abandon him and that the he didn’t want to clash against Blue Flame Manor now for his sake… Naji was obviously not optimistic about his chances.

“What about you?” He turned to look at Zhuang Jing.

Zhuang Jing of Lunar Temple cursed Qin Lie all the way up to his eighteenth ancestors in her head, but she no choice but to smile forcefully. “My life is in your hands. I can only obey your every whim.” She wasn’t Naji, and she couldn’t cut ties with Qin Lie the way he did. She had no choice but to surrender to her fate.

“Zhuang Jing of Lunar Temple!” Guan Lian frowned. “Are you here for the Crystal Moon Cores?”

Zhuang Jing smiled bitterly and kept quiet.

“You and I share no conflict of interest.” A flash passed through Guan Lian’s eyes. “You may summon your sect mates and excavate all the Crystal Moon Core fragments in this place. Blue Flame Manor wants the Sun Cores and nothing more.”

Naturally, he thought that Zhuang Jing had come with her sect mates.

Blue Flame Manor and Lunar Temple were both sub rank one Gold rank forces, and they had sent more or less the same amount of martial practitioners into this place. He didn’t want to fight Lunar Temple to death especially since Lunar Temple only wanted the Crystal Moon Core.

“There is no one else.” Zhuang Jing looked between Qin Lie and Guan Lian. “All Lunar Temple martial practitioners have been killed, and I… am his captive.”

Zhuang Jing nodded towards Qin Lie.

Her words Blue Flame Manor’s martial practitioners to suddenly stare at Qin Lie with a trace of conflicting emotions.

They began to ponder about Qin Lie’s true identity.

Could he really be… a Dark Nether clansman?

“Zhuang Jing, I’m giving you one more chance to choose. To live, or to die. It is your choice,” said Qin Lie suddenly.

Wisps of bloody light suddenly flew out of Zhuang Jing’s True Soul. They vanished the moment they left her pupils.

In an instant, the feeling where her soul was controlled by a restriction was gone.

Zhuang Jing was one hundred percent sure that she had regained her freedom.

Qin Lie had actually relinquished control over her True Soul during this critical moment. The unexpected action confused Zhuang Jing suddenly.

“It all depends on you now whether you live or die. If you make the right choice, you will live. If you don’t… you will die.” Qin Lie’s eyes were cold and cruel.

Zhuang Jing suddenly grown nervous.

Originally, she hoped that Qin Lie would be killed by Blue Flame Manor. This way, she would be able to regain her freedom and obtain the Serene Moon Race’s holy artifact.

She never thought that Qin Lie would relinquish his control over her soul.

At first, she thought that Qin Lie was weak and absolutely not a match for Blue Flame Manor. She thought that he had called her out to sacrifice her like a cannon fodder.

But now, Qin Lie had relinquished his control over her soul and gave her a new chance to reconsider her stance.

“Should I help him kill Blue Flame Manor, or should I help Blue Flame Manor... kill him?”

Anxiety shone out of Zhuang Jing’s eyes. For the first time, the girl who knew how to size up a situation the best was confused by the situation before her.

“I await your decision,” Qin Lie said indifferently.

Guan Lian and the rest of the Blue Flame Manor martial practitioners fell silent and stared at Zhuang Jing as well.

They didn’t know why, but for some reason the guy they had thought to be insignificant suddenly made them feel pressured.

Naji of the Asura Race had also withdrawn his smile. His expression looked uncertain and dark.

He had a feeling that he might have made the wrong decision.

A long bout of silence later.

Zhuang Jing inhaled deeply and took out the Blue Moon Cold Blade all of a sudden. The weapon flew straight towards the closest Blue Flame Manor martial practitioner.

As a blue rainbow cut through the air, the moonlight inside two Crystal Moon Cores was suddenly drawn out and absorbed into the weapon.
