Chapter 975: Where Is the Justice in That?

Chapter 975: Where Is the Justice in That?

Shen Zong naturally didn't believe Qiu Baiyi's words.

After all, Ye Guan had no enmity with the Parting Sorrows Sect. Why would he kill someone from the Parting Sorrows Sect?

Moreover, Ye Guan had once formed a good relationship with someone from the Parting Sorrows Sect. Shen Zong was convinced that Shen Ze's death had to have been orchestrated by the Second Hall Master.

However, Shen Zong knew he had to feign ignorance. Whether it was Ye Guan or the Second Hall Master, they weren't people the Parting Sorrows Sect could afford to provoke.

Feigning ignorance was the only way to survive here.

The reason Shen Zong led a massive group here wasn't to avenge Shen Ze but to claim the Scroll of Parting Sorrows. He pretended to be on the Second Hall Master's side to delay time.

Turning around, Shen Zong stared deeply at the distant starry sky before leading his people away. Unbeknownst to him, the scroll flashed briefly with a dim light.

Qiu Baiyi chuckled softly and turned around to leave upon seeing that Shen Zong and his group were no longer around.

Qiu Baiyi traversed multiple universe regions in an instant, and he soon arrived in a massive star field. A vast projection of the Time River flowed endlessly throughout the star field, seemingly stretching into infinity.

Bathed in the glow of countless stars, the river shimmered brilliantly.

There was a lady at the bottom of the river; she was wearing a light purple gown, and her hands were crossed over her chest. Her eyes were closed, and there was no aura or energy emanating from her.

There were many elites around the Time River, and they stared at the lady in awe. This specific projection of the Time River was known as the Beauty's Time World.

It was unknown when it appeared, and no one had any idea when the lady appeared, either.

There were many people who had tried barging into the river, but only a few of them emerged alive. Despite the danger, however, numerous individuals still sought to enter, hoping to seize an opportunity.

Just like that, more and more elites perished in the Beauty's Time River.

Just then, a young man arrived in the starry region. His attire was extravagant, and his expression exuded arrogance.

Two elderly figures were following closely behind him, and they were Path Creation Realm experts.

The elders stood solemnly, and their gazes swept cautiously across the surroundings.

The young man gazed at the distant Time River and remarked, "The Beauty's Time World. She truly is a beauty."

One of the elders behind him had a grave expression as he warned, "This place holds many mysteries. Young Master, it's better to observe from afar."

The young man stared intently at the lady in the river, smiling. "I believe she must be an exceptional elite. She's likely waiting for a prodigy with extraordinary talent... someone like me?"

The two elders exchanged a silent glance, both feeling speechless.

The young man suddenly declared, "I want to try my luck."

Alarmed, one elder quickly cautioned, "Young Master, this place is too dangerous! You mustn't do that!"

The other elder also chimed in, "Indeed, Young Master. The Time River is full of strange and deadly forces. Even powerful Path Annihilation Realm cultivators have entered, only to never return. You mustn't take such risks."

The young man's gaze remained fixed on the Time River. "If I don't seize this opportunity, I'll never be able to rival that Chen Suiye or Ye Guan."

Ye Guan and Chen Suiye were famous monstrous talents among the younger generation. They were idols that countless youths aspired to surpass.

The elders attempted to dissuade him again, but the young man said, "Elders, our Supreme Clan and the Eternal Time Clan were always equals. However, they've overshadowed us all thanks to a lone Chen Suiye."

"Are you really okay with that?"

Chen Suiye! The two Elders sighed deeply at the mention of that name.

The Supreme Clan and the Eternal Time Clan were once equals, but when Chen Suiye appeared, the equilibrium was shattered.

The Time Lady stared at him without blinking.

"What do you want me to do?" asked the Time Lady.

"Kill someone."

The Time Lady's brow furrowed.

"You're right; the target is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here with the Time Seal in hand."

Time Lady's hand remained extended.

Qiu Baiyi sighed and replied, "You should make a vow. There are many liars in the world today, along with freeloaders. I'm just a bit worried."

The Time Lady stared at him. "I have never broken my word."

Qiu Baiyi was silent for a moment before nodding. "I believe you."

With that, the Time Seal floated into the Time Lady's palm.

Upon holding the Time Seal, a ripple of emotion finally appeared in the Time Lady's calm gaze. After a moment, she closed her eyes, and the power of time from the seal rushed into her forehead.

Qiu Baiyi said, "I'll let you know when the battle begins."

With that, Qiu Baiyi turned around and left.

Meanwhile, the Time Lady's power surged wildly.

Qiu Baiyi traveled a myriad of star fields before arriving in a starry sky.

A distinct blue planet came into view in the distance.

Qiu Baiyi was in the Milky Way!

Qiu Baiyi stared deeply at the blue planet before turning to the right, where an orange planet was located.

Qiu Baiyi smiled faintly, "It's been a while."

A voice echoed from the orange planet. "What do you need?"

"I need your help."

"I can't."

Qiu Baiyi's face darkened.

"The future has been determined."

Qiu Baiyi chuckled, and then he stared at the blue planet, asking, "How about I take a stroll there?"

"No," The voice replied firmly.

"Why is Ye Guan allowed to go there but not me? Come on, don't play favorites."

"He has a powerful backer. Why would I attract trouble to myself by offending him?"

Qiu Baiyi sternly said, "I have a backer, too."

"Scratch that. He has many powerful backers."

"Where is the justice in that?" Qiu Baiyi was immediately furious. "This is unfair!"
