Chapter 1615 Undercurrent (3)
"Yes." Xing Da, the protector, responded. "They have already discovered the identity of the successor to the Beyond Heaven King and are waiting for him to come out."
He then glanced at Yan Yin and Wan Mu. "The two of them stand on Yun Lintian's side. They are in the same group as Jiang Shuren and the other two."
Xing Liuxian was surprised. "Why did they do that?"
Xing Da shook his head. "I have no idea either. Perhaps they believe that Yun Lintian can lead them out of this place."
Xing Liuxian touched his chin and looked at Lou De with a pensive expression. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
"Why did you come out, Brother Xing?" Yang Zhen flew over with Dong Xiu.
Xing Liuxian glanced at him and asked. "You failed?"
His simple question was like a sharp knife stabbing into Yang Zhen's heart. The anger that had already subsided a long time ago erupted once again. He glared at Xing Liuxian and said. "Yes. What's wrong with it?"
Xing Liuxian shook his head and said. "There is nothing wrong with it. The trials are indeed difficult."
"Wait a moment. You can still remember what happened inside, Young Master Xing?" Dong Xiu quickly asked.
Xing Liuxian was slightly taken aback and immediately realized this. "Indeed. I can remember everything."
"Did you pass all the trials?" Yang Zhen hurriedly asked.
"Yes," Xing Liuxian replied truthfully. "It seems that whoever can pass the trials will have their memory intact."
"Which also means that the Everlasting Soul God Emperor knows everything." Dong Xiu added and glanced at Ling Chao.
She had been suspecting this point from the beginning, but she had no evidence to prove it. Now, it was clear as day. Ling Zemin knew everything about this place, including the trials within the tower.
Yang Zhen was immediately furious. He glared at Ling Chao and another elder beside him, and said coldly. "Very good. Do you think my Sun God Realm is easy to bully?"
His entire body exuded a fiery aura, ready to burst forth at any moment.
Ling Chao's face sank. If possible, he didn't want to fight Yang Zhen and Dong Xiu here, even though he weren't afraid of them. It would not benefit him.
He responded calmly. "We came here to protect our young master and I have no idea about the trials inside the tower. Otherwise, why would we be here?"
"Furthermore, our young master never forced you to join us from the start. It was you, Young Master Yang, who decided to come with us. And don't forget that without our young master, you wouldn't have been able to reach here."
Ling Chao paused briefly and continued in a deep voice. "Of course, if you are determined to fight here, we will accompany you until the end."
His aura seeped out, slowly confronting Yang Zhen's aura.
The atmosphere tensed up, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
"Calm down, Brother Yang. There's no need to fight here. It will bring us no good." Xing Liuxian stepped forward and said.
"Do you want to intervene?" Yang Zhen glanced at him with a cold expression.
"No. Don't forget that I was deceived as well." Xing Liuxian shook his head slightly. "However, we are not in the situation where we can waste our energy pointlessly. I can leave at any moment, but what about you?"
Yang Zhen's expression became unpleasant upon hearing this. The fact that he had to stay here forever made him even angrier.
Xing Liuxian further stated. "Look at those people outside. Each one of them was originally a terrifying God Emperor, but they had become like this. Do you know why?"
Yang Zhen frowned slightly. "What do you want to say?"
"They could have stay here around the tower after failing to beat the trials, but they chose to go out and end up losing their lives. Don't you think it doesn't make sense here?" Xing Liuxian spoke. "The reason is simple. They were unwilling to stay here forever and wait until the last day of their lifespans."
He took a deep look at Yang Zhen and spoke calmly. "Let me ask you. Are you willing to stay here until the last day of your life?"
Yang Zhen immediately calmed down. He, in fact, wasn't so stupid that he wasn't aware of the situation.
"What do you want?" Yang Zhen asked coldly.
Xing Liuxian smiled upon hearing this. "It's understandable that the Pill Emperor chose to stand by Yun Lintian's side. After all, we know the relationship between him and the Beyond Heaven King. But what about that person beside him?"
Yang Zhen glanced thoughtfully at Yan Yin in the far distance.
"If I guess correctly, he should be a Devil God Emperor. What made him choose to associate with Yun Lintian, who was supposed to be his enemy?" Xing Liuxian asked.
"It's like what Xing Da said. He believes that Yun Lintian can help him escape from this place."
"You believe it?" Yang Zhen furrowed his brow.
"It is very likely to be true." Xing Liuxian nodded slightly. "I have seen Yun Lintian earlier and the way he interacted with the relic. I am quite certain that he has the ability to take everyone out of this place once he fully absorbs the relic."
He raised his head slightly to gaze at the beam of light atop the tower. "Moreover, I reckon that the light barrier here will be gone afterwards. At that time, this place won't be safe anymore."
Yang Zhen's heart turned cold upon hearing this. Once the light barrier was gone, he would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by those people on the outside.
"So, the only thing you can do right now is to capture those three and force Yun Lintian to take you away." Xing Liuxian said in a deep voice. "Of course, you can choose to befriend them. But I doubt Yun Lintian would bring you along, considering how you treated him in the past."
Ling Chao wanted to give Xing Liuxian a big thumbs up after listening to him. Without a doubt, Yang Zhen would definitely accept the offer.
"Young Master Xing is really good at scheming." Dong Xiu suddenly said, looking deeply at Xing Liuxian.
Xing Liuxian glanced at her and responded calmly. "I'm not scheming against Brother Yang, but rather pointing a way out for him. Of course, if you have a better idea, feel free to speak up."
Dong Xiu immediately fell silent. She admitted that there was no other good way here...
