Chapter 376: Temporary Alliance

Chapter 376: Temporary Alliance

After all, I wasnt lying when I said I escaped a place made by the same person who made this one. Im pretty sure Fen Long was involved in the creation of this place somehow. However, when I broke the realm Chen Wuya was stuck in, I well, its not like I had no role, but Chen Wuya did lay quite a bit of the groundwork.

Though I suppose its possible that this mysterious senior has also laid the groundwork for her escape. Still, I feel as if she has different goals. Chen Wuya is full of rage and wants to attack, whether its me or Fen Long. This senior she told Li Xiang that she was tired of battle and wanted to hide away. If Li Xiang accepted that, then its the truth. Either that, or the senior is of such a high level that she could fool Li Xiang but I doubt that. In any case, theres no particular reason to lie, and adding Li Xiangs truthsense on top of that, I think I can take that statement as a truth.

Still, theres a difference between becoming tired of battle and outright pacifism. After all, this small cultivator hates fighting, but I still fight when Im backed into a corner. Although Ill have to be careful about manipul er, about helping senior to overcome her mental demons, or whatever it is that keeps her from wanting to leave this realm, I believe it can be done, particularly if I can figure out a way to involve Fen Long, whoever he is. I desperately need to recruit powerful seniors for my battle against All-Heavens Sect, so I cant simply leave her alone. Ultimately, I may not be able to recruit her, but I cant not try.

Hui glanced at Han Qin from the corner of his eyes. Theres also him. He hates me, though, so it might be better to not involve him hed probably join the other side out of spite!

Though he probably hates All-Heavens, too. Those hypocrites do claim to be righteous cultivators, after all, and Han Qin whatever hes trying to bring back, hes doing it in an outright demonic way. Hes likely clashed with All-Heavens before. Ah didnt All-Heavens show up when he attempted to absorb the Fu Clan? Or was that simply the Bai Clan?

Hui thought for a moment, then shook his head. It isnt important. In any case, I wouldnt entrust my back to him, but maybe I can connive him into attacking All-Heavens at the same time as myself.

What are you thinking about? Han Qin demanded, frowning at Hui.

Hui looked up, startled. He smiled at Han Qin. Elder Brother, this small cultivator spends a lot of time thinking. If youre going to demand to know every time I stop to think, youre going to be a very busy man.

Han Qins lip twitched. His hands tensed subtly.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Hui backed away. Ah, but, but, of course, small cultivator understands. Yes, yes, this is simply small cultivator is merely thinking about the spatial distortions small cultivator saw on his way in! I did attempt to comprehend them ah, my comprehension is terribly lacking, but I did gain some small insights, it seems. Still, we cant break free of this place by standing still, so why dont we take a walk?

What will that accomplish? Its an infinite space, Han Qin asked.

We need to understand what kind of infinite space it is in order to break it. The first and most obvious way to attempt to figure that out, is to move around in it. Does Elder Brother disagree? Hui said, tilting his head.

Han Qin twisted his nose. Speaking with you is like pressing my head against a steel bar and expecting it to move aside.

Eh? My apologies, Elder Brother. Ill move aside for you, Hui said, confused. What does he mean by that? Im not stubborn at all, and Im even being very forthcoming! How could he find fault with my manner of speaking? Im being very respectful and humble. Im even careful to keep the heart-demon from influencing my speaking. So why is Elder Brother so troubled by it?

Its because you Han Qin stopped and sighed, running a hand down his face. So. Moving in this space?

Hui nodded. First, lets walk opposite directions for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, then return here. Do you agree?

Eh? But Elder Sister has never protested being my Elder Sister, Hui replied, tilting his head.

Im surprised you survived this long, Han Qin said darkly.

I even called her that in front of her supervisor, Hui added.

Her supervisor that is, the man in charge of the underworld? Zhu Diyu? Han Qin clarified.

Eh yes? Hui asked. He seemed like a kind senior to me. A little bit dangerous, perhaps, but

A little bit dangerous! Han Qin barked, half-laughing, half-crying. Hes the General of the Ghost Legions, the Grand Demon, the Lord of the Underworld, and you call him a little bit dangerous? Honestly, I dont know if youre an idiot and a coward or a liar and incredibly brave, but theres something wrong with your head.

Well, I cant disagree, but he really didnt seem that threatening to me. Compared to Chen Wuya, who beats me up every time he sees me, hes

Han Qin jumped back. Chen Wuya?

Hui frowned. Yes?

Chen Wuya, the Autumnal Raven? The Head Harvester? The Reaper of Crows? He who cuts through armies as though scything grain?

Er I guess. He likes crows a lot, anyways, Hui said, nodding. This guy sure likes appelations.

Han Qin looked at Hui from the corner of his eyes. You arent right in the head.

Er, Elder Brother has already said that, Hui replied.

Important things need to be said three times. You arent right in the head! Han Qin repeated. If youre friends with Chen Wuya, one of the ultimate swordsmen of the previous generation, why didnt you ask him to fight me?

Senior has his own troubles. Besides, are you sure hes a swordsman? He only beats me up with his bare hands er, claws, Hui said lightly. Ultimate swordsman? I havent heard about this. He only claimed to found Starbound Sect, though based on his titles, I think I now understand why people saw the initial sect as demonic

Han Qin looked like he wanted to cry. He shook his head silently at Hui and turned away. The youths always lack respect for the previous generation, but for this coward to speak so casually about two of the ultimate powers My chest hurts! If I stay around this man much longer, Ill truly develop a heart demon.
