"No, no! Qing Jun doesn’t want Master to turn into dust! Whoever dares to touch Master, Qing Jun will kill them!"
Qing Jun’s face turned pale with fear, and she tightened her grip around Chen Ye’s neck, shaking her head repeatedly.
Hearing this, Bai Liuyue felt a complex mix of emotions.
Is this still a disciple of the Lingyin Sect?
To resort to killing so easily, it has a hint of the Emotion Crossing Sect’s style.
"Silly girl, loosen your grip a bit. If the law doesn’t crush your master, you might suffocate me first."
Chen Ye helplessly patted the small hands on his back, his expression still calm.
It’s not that Chen Ye isn’t afraid of death,
but this situation is not a dead end.
The Celestial Abyss was originally detonated by the Divine Son,
and Qin Jiaming in front of him is closely connected to the Divine Son. Perhaps she also has a way. Moreover, according to Qin Jiaming, she also came from twenty-three years ago, and to leave, the Celestial Abyss must be detonated again.
He lifted his gaze and looked at Qin Jiaming, who was swinging her legs on a rock:
"Miss Jiaming, you mean, since both upstream and downstream are dead ends, we can only force open a door of vitality at this junction, correct?"
Qin Jiaming snapped her fingers crisply and praised, "Big brother, you’re so smart. Didn’t we come here just to blow open the Celestial Abyss?"
Zhiwei listened silently on the side.
She always suspected things weren’t that simple.
Suddenly,
the dark-haired girl asked, "Master, is the explosion of the Celestial Abyss in the real world really enough to free the Lord of Luoxiao from the suffering of reincarnation?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Chen Ye knew his eldest disciple was always clever, so he always respected her thoughts and looked at Zhiwei.
With that look,
whether it was the Fake Pill ancestor Bai Liuyue or the Half-step Golden Core Bai Li, they both quieted down, waiting for Zhiwei’s words.
Normally,
a mere Foundation Establishment early period girl would never command such attentive listening.
Zhiwei felt her master’s grave injuries and was somewhat comforted, yet her temperament remained calm, and she showed no sign of panic:
"The Lord of Luoxiao is trapped near the Celestial Abyss in reincarnation, and each cycle only lasts a hundred years before sudden death occurs. This should be undeniable, right?"
Bai Liuyue nodded:
"Exactly. The Divine Sons of the Emotion Crossing Sect have all died within a hundred years. Especially in recent years, lifespans have become increasingly shorter, with the previous Divine Son suddenly dying at the age of nineteen."
"This generation’s Divine Son, though young, probably won’t last long either... This is likely why the Lord of Luoxiao is so desperate to detonating the Celestial Abyss. If this continues, she will completely disappear from the world."
Everyone exchanged glances.
This is one reason the Ruins Country, even knowing the Divine Son is the reincarnation of the Lord of Luoxiao, chooses not to intervene.
Facing a half-step Deity Transformation existence,
it’s better to slowly wait for time to kill them.
Zhiwei continued her deductions:
"Reincarnation involves both time and space. Zhiwei believes that what’s trapping the Lord of Luoxiao isn’t just space, but also time!"
"If you merely detonate the Celestial Abyss in this world, at most you can destroy space, but you cannot shatter the shackles of time. If she wishes to truly break free, break the deadlock, she must detonate again along the timeline. Only with a double explosion in both the present and the past can she break all the shackles on her."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
A crisp sound of applause rang out.
Qin Jiaming slightly widened her eyes and looked at Zhiwei with a smile:
"Amazing! This Sister Zhiwei... I feel like your guesses are almost spot on. Given this, are you still willing to detonate the Celestial Abyss?"
"This Lord of Luoxiao, she’s truly wicked. She betrayed her master and imprisoned her mentor in the Songyang Cave Heaven... Tsk, tsk, she is not a friend to the descendants of the Songyang line."
What?
Chen Ye was shocked:
"How could there be such a bad disciple in the world? No wonder the Ancestor of Songyang was in the Songyang Cave Heaven but not in the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven. Clearly, the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven is the main base of the Songyang Sect, and yet it was a place of imprisonment!"
Chen Ye righteously condemned such vile behavior of ’betraying master and ancestors.’
But the sound of his disciples’ unified condemnation, as he expected, did not echo.
Chen Ye turned back with some confusion.
He saw his eldest disciple Lu Zhiwei with her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes casting shadow over her dark eyes.
"Imprison... Master..."
Zhiwei wordlessly mouthed these words in her heart, understanding the Lord of Luoxiao’s perspective.
She had also been to the Songyang Cave Heaven,
and the place called a cage wasn’t such. The environment was, in fact, quite good.
What’s more,
there was a grand array for extending the life of the Ancestor of Songyang set up inside there. By just looking at it, Zhiwei knew it was not merely imprisonment...
And also.
Master was always like this, protecting them without concern for his own safety. These past few days, he almost disappeared into the chaotic currents of time and space, beyond recovery.
If... If one could find a secret cave heaven where no one could find him...
Lay down the most intricate array to keep Master forever in that small place.
No need to face the blood and fire outside, no need to face those demon cultivators and Divine Sons with ulterior motives.
In this way, Master would always be safe, wouldn’t he?
Zhiwei’s slender fingers slightly tightened, her breathing quickened.
She raised her gaze without a trace, locking eyes with her second junior sister beside her.
By coincidence.
Jin’er seemed lost in some fantasy, muttering to herself:
"That Lord of Luoxiao is too horrible! Imprisoning Master! If it were Jin’er, I couldn’t bear to bully Master like that. Even if I had to imprison him... The cage must be lined with the softest Cloud Concealing Silk, and the chains must be forged from Spirit-nurturing Millennium Warm Jade. They mustn’t bruise Master’s wrists..."
