Chapter 485: Only This One Chance
Ling Yue observed the mother and son from the side, unable to understand why they had come to such a point of animosity, to the extent of wishing each other dead.
"Xia’er, since you don’t like him, I’ll kill him for you, so you won’t have to worry about it in the future." Ling Yue urged.
Xia Ji closed her eyes slightly, then released Su Yu’s neck and struck him on the head with her palm, causing him to instantly faint.
She stood quietly for about a quarter of an hour before she seemed to make a decision, and said, "Kill him!"
Perhaps, killing him would bring peace of mind.
Without this thorn in her side, perhaps she would feel much relieved.
Ling Yue naturally felt little sympathy for Su Yu. If this boy died, the Spirit Cultivation Realm would be dominated by their Lingyou Hall. Now that old man Yun Zidu was trapped in the Delusion Void Array at the Undersea of the Illusion Sea, even if he didn’t die inside, he would never get out. The Delusion Void Array could only be broken by Divine Level, and no matter how many tens of thousands of years he struggled inside, it would be useless.
Without that old man Yun Zidu, the entire Spirit Flame Sect would be a loose sand, and if this boy died too, it wouldn’t be many years before the Spirit Flame Sect completely collapsed.
Therefore, Ling Yue hesitated not a bit, ready to directly destroy Su Yu’s soul.
At this moment, a sudden sharp voice shouted, "Stop!"
Han Qingjue hurried in, looking at Su Yu unconscious on the ground, almost suffocating with distress. She shouted at Xia Ji, "Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t kill him?"
"Oh? Not kill him, huh, little girl, do you know, if you don’t kill him today, from now on, you’ll never have another chance." Xia Ji scoffed coldly. She knew better than anyone how capable this little one was. Once he survived, there would come a day when she wouldn’t even be his opponent.
No one would be able to stop his progress, and by then, none of them would escape his revenge!
So it would be better to let him die now and save the future effort and cost of dealing with him.
"Xia Ji, don’t forget, you promised me that as long as I stole the Beiming Pearl for you, you would help me keep Yun Peng by my side. Are you planning to burn bridges after crossing?" Han Qingjue coldly stared at Xia Ji, then took out a Jade Token and said to her, "This, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"
Xia Ji glanced at her indifferently. The Jade Token was given to her, as a favor owed, to do something for her. If Han Qingjue shattered the Jade Token and she failed to fulfill her promise, she herself would suffer backlash. This was the Blood Oath Token of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, to swear by blood, not to be violated.
"Are you sure you want to use this?" Xia Ji was slightly surprised, and chuckled lightly, "Silly girl, don’t forget, you only have this one chance. And even if I don’t kill him today, keeping him by your side, you can’t be his wife, living and flying together with him. Still, you want him to live? And if he finds out in the future that it was you who stole the Beiming Pearl that harmed his master, do you think he’ll let you go?"
Han Qingjue’s face turned pale, looking at her in disbelief, and asked, "Why? Why can’t I marry him? What do you mean? Why didn’t you tell me any of this at the beginning?"
"Oh? Didn’t I tell you? Clearly, you said as long as he stayed by your side, you wouldn’t care about anything else."
