Chapter 2357: Moral
Chapter 2357: Moral
Dao Ling gritted his teeth and said, “You must guarantee my life first. Make your oath on your ancestor.”
Yue Yun’s eyes turned cold as she pointed the Moon Staff at Dao Ling. “Do you think you have a choice here? Having lived for so long, yet why are you so stupid?”
“It’s a mutual exchange,” Dao Ling refuted. “I get to live, and you get the information. Besides, I’m not truly out of options. I can choose to say nothing here and die.”
“Oh? You’re not afraid of death anymore?” Yue Yun was amused.
“Of course, I am. Who wants to die?” Dao Ling snorted coldly. “I just realize that you need my information more than I do. Without it, it will take you a very long time to find out. By that time, it can be too late.”
Having figured this out, Dao Ling wasn’t afraid of death anymore as he was fully confident that Yue Yun wouldn’t kill him. Moreover, it was almost impossible to extract information through a True God’s soul.
“Interesting,” Yue Yun curled her lips playfully. “Then, you can die in peace.”
Dao Ling involuntarily shuddered and prepared to run. He didn’t expect Yue Yun to turn the tables right away.
Yun Lintian stepped forward and stopped her. “Hold on. Let me take care of this.”
Yue Yun made a sidelong glance at Yun Lintian and said, “Sure.”
Dao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Lintian looked at him and said, “I can let you leave. It doesn’t matter whether you go back or not. Anyway, I can easily kill you when we meet again.”
Dao Ling’s face twitched in anger, but he knew it was the truth.
“Just tell me what you know,” Yun Lintian motioned with his chin.
Dao Ling took a deep breath and said, “Although I don’t know where he is, I can guess. In the past years, many people have been sent to the Ancient Battlefield, and none of them have come out to this day. I believe he’s residing there.”
“The Ancient Battlefield?” Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly.
“Right. You are too young,” Dao Ling explained. “The Ancient Battlefield is where the first battle between the Primordial Gods took place. Countless gods lost their lives there. Recently, many ancient gods have gone there. It is probably the best place for training, but it’s also the most dangerous place to visit.”
“The Primordial God Tribe has been relying on the battlefield to train our people. Many high- ranking figures are living inside that place currently. You will definitely meet them there.”
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. “Anything else?” he asked.
Dao Ling thought for a moment and said, “Since my mission here ended in failure, the Divine Realm should be safe and sound for now. After all, I am the only one left outside the Ancient Battlefield.”
Yun Lintian exchanged glances with Yue Yun and then turned to look at the location where Zhan You had dissipated. “I’m curious. Why did he join the Primordial God Tribe?”
“Him?” Dao Ling followed Yun Lintian’s gaze. “It’s because he knows that the Primal Chaos is beyond help. In fact, we are the same. Looking at all the inheritors of the Primordial Gods, which one can pose a threat to our Master? There’s nothing wrong with joining the winning side.”
“Besides,” Dao Ling said further, “Zhan You himself is a battle maniac. No one under the Primordial God could be his opponent since the Primordial Era. He always wanted to find a worthy opponent… You have no idea how many times he was thoroughly defeated by our Master.”
“I see,” Yun Lintian nodded slightly. “What do you mean by the Primal Chaos is beyond help?”
“You should have noticed the instability of the Primal Chaos Wall, right?” Dao Ling responded. “In our Master’s words, the fall of the wall is imminent. At that time, the outlaws will pour in, and no one can save the Primal Chaos.”
He took a deep look at Yun Lintian and continued, “Not even you.”
“Oh?” Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly. “Care to explain?”
“You are strong, but time is not on your side,” Dao Ling spoke. “I’ve faced those outlaws before. They were ridiculously strong, so much so that even a Primordial God would have a hard time. You see, Zhan You is strong, right? He could barely fight against them back then. If it weren’t for the sacrifice of those divine beasts and the God of Death, the Primal Chaos would be long gone by now.”
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. The curiosity towards the Void Creatures and the other outlaws grew stronger. He truly wanted to see with his own eyes just how strong they were.
“You don’t have to be disheartened,” Dao Ling said casually as he saw Yun Lintian’s expression. “Even my Master doesn’t dare to face them.”
“Are you saying that your master has no intention of sabotaging the wall?” Yun Lintian asked with a frown.
“Of course,” Dao Ling spread his arms. “Why would he endanger himself?”
“Hehe.” Yue Yun laughed disdainfully upon hearing this, but she didn’t explain anything.
Yun Lintian also didn’t believe that Fan Shen had no intention of destroying the wall. Clearly, Dao Ling was either ignorant or being deceived.
“What’s wrong?” Dao Ling furrowed his brow.
“Nothing,” Yun Lintian said calmly. “You can leave.”
“Phew… I knew you would keep your word.” Dao Ling was relieved. “Be careful when you go to the Ancient Battlefield later. That’s all I can say.”
He turned around and left. His speed was extremely fast as he was afraid Yun Lintian would change his mind.
However, just as he was about to enter the void, a ray of moonlight suddenly rushed towards him.
“YOU!” Dao Ling was caught off guard. He didn’t expect Yue Yun to attack him.
Dao Ling instinctively unleashed his power, but it was too late. The ray of moonlight was too powerful, unlike anything he had ever encountered before. It immediately penetrated his defense and went straight to his heart.
BOOM!!
Dao Ling didn’t even have time to move as his entire body exploded into pieces directly under
the beautiful curtain of moonlight.
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow as he looked at Yue Yun questioningly.
Yue Yun lowered the Moon Staff and turned to him. “What? Are you going to preach me a moral lesson?” She said with a playful smile. “There’s no such thing as a moral code in front
of the enemy. It’s either we die or they die.”
Yun Lintian took a deep look at her and said, “I’m really curious about your actual background. Clearly, you have recovered your memory.”
