Chapter 1616 Undercurrent (4)
“Young master. You have to think about it carefully.” Dong Xiu looked at Yang Zhen and said through a sound transmission.
Yang Zhen frowned deeply. He didn’t know if Yun Lintian could take him out of this place, but if he didn’t do anything, Lou De and the others would eventually find him and kill him. Hence, the situation forced him to either accept Xing Liuxian’s suggestion or find another solution on his own.
Seeing that Yang Zhen was deep in thought, Ling Chao quickly added to the conversation. “We are willing to help you capture them. Anyway, we also have to go out. With the five of us, they are no match for us.”
Yang Zhen glanced at Ling Chao but remained silent. His mind spun rapidly, weighing the pros and cons of each choice.
“You can take your time.” Xing Liuxian said, and walked towards Lou De.
Yang Zhen and the others looked at Xing Liuxian in confusion. They didn’t know what he was going to do.
When Lou De saw Xing Liuxian approaching him, a look of curiosity crossed his face. He was going to see what this little guy wanted.
“Star energy… He should be the descendant of the Star God Emperor.” Xie Songshan spoke.
Xing Liuxian stopped in his tracks right at the edge of the light barrier and gazed at Lou De. “My name is Xing Liuxian. The Star God Emperor is my father. I am here to make a deal with all the seniors here.”
“A deal?” Lou De curled his lips. “Do you know the consequences of making a deal with a devil?”
His aura gradually seeped out and lingered in front of the barrier. As soon as Xing Liuxian stepped out, he would immediately lose his life.
Facing the coercive power, Xing Liuxian’s expression remained calm and composed. He got straight to the point. “The successor of the Beyond Heaven King is currently absorbing the relic inside the tower. He will definitely leave once he completely absorbs it. Moreover, he is likely to have an ability to bring everyone out of this place.”
Xing Liuxian looked directly into Lou De’s eyes and continued speaking. “We can cooperate.”
Lou De was surprised to hear this. “How sure you are?”
Xing Liuxian replied truthfully. “Ninety percent.”
Lou De stared at Xing Liuxian for a while and motioned with his chin. “Go on.”
Xing Liuxian explained. “According to the information we have, Yun Lintian, the successor of the Beyond Heaven King, is a sentimental person. In order to help his senior sister, he didn’t hesitate to go to the Mystic God Realm and confront the Mystic God Emperor directly. We can see how much he cares about the people around him.”
He glanced at Jiang Shuren and the others. “The three of them came here to protect and escort him to the tower. With his personality, it is unlikely that he will leave them behind. I am going to capture them and force him to bring everyone out.”
“I want to ask seniors to take care of the Pill Emperor and the other person.”
Xie Songshan frowned and asked. “You must know that we cannot go inside the barrier. How can you guarantee that Yun Lintian will bring us out?”
“Once we capture those three people, we will ask him to leave the barrier. At that time, the Pill Emperor and that person would definitely try to help him.” Xing Liuxian spoke calmly. “Whether you are willing to believe it or not, it’s up to all of you, seniors. In any case, we will leave this place.”
Xie Songshan’s face darkened slightly. He felt threatened by Xing Liuxian. If it weren’t for the barrier, he would have caught this bastard and torn him into pieces by now.
Lou De thought for a moment and said. “Let’s wait until he comes out, and then we can talk about it again. Taking care of those two isn’t a problem for me.”
“Besides,” He paused briefly and glanced at Jiang Shuren and the other two. “It’s not certain whether you can subdue them.”
“Alright.” Xing Liuxian nodded gently and walked away.
“Do you believe him, Brother Lou?” Xie Songshan asked.
Lou De looked at him and said with a faint smile. “It seems you didn’t listen to him at all.”
“What do you mean?” Xie Songshan was puzzled.
“Don’t you think it’s strange that he knows about Yun Lintian’s situation when he had just left the tower?” Lou De asked.
Xie Songshan immediately realized something. “Come to think of it… How did he remember the situation inside the tower?”
“He has successfully completed all the trials and can leave this place at any moment.” Lou De spoke. “In the past, we always believed that anyone who emerged from the tower would have their memories wiped clean. But it didn’t seem to be the case for someone who could defeat the trials.”
“So, that’s how it is.” Xie Songshan was enlightened.
“Since he could leave on his own, why would he care about others?” Lou De said. “It’s simple. He just wants to capture Yun Lintian by borrowing our hands. And if something goes wrong, he can simply leave.”
Xie Songshan’s expression sank. “This little bastard. Don’t let me catch him later.”
“So, are we going to join him?” Chi Jixing asked attentively.
“Let’s wait and see.” Lou De said with a mysterious smile. “There should be something interesting later.”
Chi Jixing had a pensive expression. It seemed that Lou De noticed something more than what he said.
In the far distance, Jiang Shuren watched as everything unfolded and said. “It appears that they are plotting something against us.”
Shui Fang looked at Xing Liuxian thoughtfully. “Judging from the way he came out, he’s likely to pass all the trials.”
He turned to Wan Mu and asked. “Senior, is it possible for a person who successfully conquered the trials to remember everything?”
Wan Mu thought for a moment and said. “It is indeed possible. In the past, the Beyond Heaven King, Goddess Yao Xi, and Ling Yongheng came out almost at the same time. Although they had never mentioned anything about what happened inside the tower, they appeared too complacent, showing no concerns like people who has their memories wiped out.”
Shui Fang frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice. “Then we’re in trouble. If my guess is correct, Xing Liuxian must have encountered Brother Yun inside the tower and believes that he has a way to take us out of this place.”
“They are going to capture us to threaten him.” Yu Zhilan spoke calmly. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xing Liuxian…𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵
