741 The Whole Family Together (1/2)

In the Whirlpool of Stars, two lights were flying in parallel, moving very fast. However, compared to the vast sea of stars, they looked really slow.

Wang Lu drove the Rouge Tears, pushing the speed to the limit regardless of the turbulence of his Yuanying. After a long acceleration, his speed was enough to make most of the top Yuanying Stage cultivators only able to look at him at the back… However, for him, this was still not enough.

At the current speed, it would take at least half a day to get back to the City of Immortals… And for the Fallen Immortals, half a day was enough to make a baby.

On the other side, the woman next to Wang Lu looked calm and thoughtful.

\”Speaking of which, I have a question that I haven't figured out yet.\”

\”Sh*t, since when did you start thinking about life?\”

Wang Wu waved her hand and said, \”I don't need to think about the hardness of life, the only one in my mind is this question: Why didn't the other party release this highly contagious poison earlier? If they did it at the start of the Grand Competition, such as the opening ceremony, I'm afraid all the senior management of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals would be wiped out… But now, after being familiar with the City of Immortals and having a year of operation, we will have some more or less room for contingency.\”

\”So, what do you think?\”

Wang Wu said, \”That's what I don't get. But, this poison… it began to spread shortly after Senior Gem Emperor woke up, didn't it?\”

\”Do you doubt Senior Gem Emperor?\”

Wang Wu said, \”You don't doubt her?\”

\”... It's true that anyone should be doubted at this time. But, in the case of Senior Gem Emperor, I choose to trust her.\”

\”Oh…\” Wang Wu smiled in surprise, \”Why don't you explain to me in depth where this trust comes from? Since when did your tool become so good that you can even subdue an Earth Immortal?\”

Wang Lu was deeply impressed by this woman's psychological quality of being able to nitpick any time anywhere. He replied, \”We have lived together for so many years, don't you know me?\”

\”... All right, let's assume we can trust Senior Gem Emperor for a while, how do you explain the fact that her awakening and the spread of the poison are almost at the same time?\”

Wang Lu said, \”It's very simple. How did she wake up?\”

\”Oh?\”

\”When I asked Xuan Mo and some other people before, they told me it was an accident that Senior Gem Emperor woke up. All the Earth Immortals gradually regained consciousness after the Tomb of Immortals were opened, and it happened roughly at the same time. So, what's the reason for Senior Gem Emperor to be out of sync with the others?\”

\”You're overthinking it. The awakening of the Earth Immortals themselves was an accident. So what if there was a time error? When we first woke Xuan Mo up, her awakening was not completely synchronized with that of Bai Ze and the others.\”

Wang Lu nodded and said, \”That's why it's more strange. The awakening of the Earth Immortals could have a sequence. But, after the first person woke up, won't he or she wake up the others? When we met Bai Ze in Heavenly Earth at that time, it was to wake Xuan Mo up. However, half a year after the Earth Immortals woke, Senior Gem Emperor was able to wake up, and Xuan Mo and others knew nothing about it. It could only be said that they tried to wake Senior Gem Emperor up, but failed.\”

\”It might be that they didn't even know that Senior Gem Emperor was sleeping here… But what you said makes sense. It's strange to think of the awakening of Senior Gem Emperor, and if we add the spread of the strange poison… Are you saying that these are all being manipulated from behind the scenes?\”

\”That's hard to say because it's not logical: Waking up Senior Gem Emperor is obviously not good for the spread of the poison. In these recent days, she slaughtered dozens of World Dragons in the whirlpool of stars, which greatly inhibited the spread of the poison. And because she left an avatar in the City of Immortals, the other party failed to make a move in the City of Immortals. Until…\” Wang Lu looked at the woman in white beside him. The latter had an innocent look as if she had forgotten the dead Full Red Ancestor Dragon.

\”In short, the awakening of Senior Gem Emperor is obviously not conducive to the spread of the strange poison. It's impossible to say that both of them are intentionally done by people behind the scenes. But, we can also assume this: At the start, the strange poison was not in the hands of the Fallen Immortals. It was probably suppressed by Senior Gem Emperor, or at least closely related to her. Therefore, if the Fallen Immortals want to take out the strange poison from the Tomb of Immortals, they would inevitably wake Senior Gem Emperor up.\”

Wang Wu said, \”You make too many assumptions there.\”

\”So here's another guess: To awaken Senior Gem Emperor is to achieve a greater goal. The strange poison that is currently spreading is just an appetizer.\”

\”A greater goal? Do you mean, for example, the deepest secret of the Tomb of Immortals?\”

Wang Lu said, \”The problem that allows Senior Gem Emperor to let go of the City of Immortals without hesitation, and go all out to deal with it, is probably that deepest secret… But now, there's no time to explore any deepest secrets, the City of Immortals needs our help more.\”

Actually, there were already dozens of Heavenly Sage Hall Elders in the City of Immortals. But, Wang Lu had no doubt that he could play a role there.

\”As for Senior Gem Emperor… Right now, I can only trust her.\”

Back to the original topic. Why did Wang Lu choose to trust Senior Gem Emperor?

Because currently, he could only trust her.

——

\”Is there really no other way?\”

\”Just now, Supreme Kuqin has also seen it, the best solution is to make a clean break.\”

\”Make a clean break… How sure is Kuqin about this?\”

\”I'm twenty percent sure it can get rid of the poison.\”
