2107 An Inhumane Water Ghost! Inhumane Bai Lian! (1) This chapter was first shared on the B1nN0v3l platform.
“I knew it, I knew it...”
It took a lot of effort to survive from Xu Xiaoshou’s sword, and for that, he had to sacrifice the Divine Oracle.
He had encountered Bazhun’an and Mei Siren, but was disregarded by the ancient swordsman who was known for his virtue and principles. No matter what, he had at least kept his life.
However...
He could avoid it the first time round, but he could not avoid it for the fifteenth time.
When the power of the secondary plane door erupted in his body, Situ Yongren did not even have the slightest ability to resist.
He hated it!
He hated himself because he swallowed the golden water droplet that Yu Lingdi had given him back at the ruins of the First Hall of Sins!
“You said that you would leave a backup plan to save my life...”
At that time, Yu Lingdi was so arrogant and his look said, “I don’t want to save you, and I look down on you. However, since we’re on the same side, I’ll have to give you a card.”
He didn’t even force him to swallow the golden water droplet. He only spoke to him in a veiled sarcastic manner. Situ Yongren then dazedly drank the poison as if it was a treasure.
How could he remove the phantom secondary plane door that had fused into his blood?
This was clearly a trap set by Water Ghost that he was not aware of.
Now that he thought about it, everything was so ridiculous. He felt like a fool who was being played by others.
What was the difference between Water Ghost’s tactics – to retreat in order to advance and how he played hard to get, and how he used words to get him to die in the Fallen Abyss?
Apparently, the same trick had been used twice and he had not noticed it before.
“To think that I assumed that all the seniors were as proud as Supreme Master and disdained to attack like Bazhun’an...”
Situ Yongren wanted to cry.
Before Bai Lian could retaliate, the water ball disappeared.
Just as he relaxed, the main character of the battlefield, Water Ghost, flashed above the Desolate Inferno Domain under Dao Qiongcang’s gaze.
It was coincidentally right above where he soaked in the bath and wanted to undergo sanctification.
“What are you doing!”
Bai Lian was scared out of his wits and could not continue with his bath anymore. He popped his head out and cursed as he ran off.
When it came to the saint calamity, being in such proximity was no different from waiting for death.
In this world, there was something more important than life.
Dignity!
Bai Lian had already dashed off halfway when he hurriedly went back to grab his clothes and put them on. In his heart, he cursed his Supreme Master for being such a wily old fox who was well aware of the situation. He was simply a prophet.
He had not seen his Supreme Master on the battlefield before, but he had left the Desolate Inferno Domain long ago in a great hurry. It was as if he had known in advance that the Desolate Inferno Domain would become the main battlefield.
Bai Lian couldn’t care less if this was a coincidence or part of Water Ghost’s scheme.
As one of the five great authorities of the Holy Palace, he was much smarter than ordinary people. He knew that there was a greater danger than to lose his life and dignity. At the same time, he followed Water Ghost here.
Therefore, even though he panicked, Bai Lian’s thoughts were unusually clear. As he ran, he shouted.
“Water Ghost, I have no enmity with you in the past or in the present, so why did you set me up?”
“Hallmaster Dao, the Holy Palace’s stance is clear. I went to the Yunlun Mountain Range to carry out some inspection and was accidentally swept into the Lone Cliff and fell into the deep sea and Abyss Island. I also inadvertently took a bath in the Desolate Inferno Domain... Pei, it was just for cultivation, I definitely had no intention to collude with the Saint Servant!”
He spoke very quickly, and in just a few words, he had completely removed his involvement with the Holy Palace and the battle. He did not even dare to wait for Dao Qiongcang to appear and ask questions, or for Water Ghost to speak first.
If Water Ghost spoke first, it would be difficult for Bai Lian to clear his name.
If Dao Qiongcang came over and saw Bai Lian here, he would most likely not ask any questions. Instead, he would take advantage of the situation and kill the people of the Infernal lineage first.
After all, he had a valid ‘reason’ – Bai Lian had colluded with the Saint Servant and there were witnesses.
