Chapter 2124 Ally

"Xian Shou?" Lan Qinghe took a deep look at the man and said. "It seems you have successfully deceived Lintian back then."

According to Yun Lintian, Xiao Shou was supposed to be the Ashe Ghost King under the Southern Emperor of the Netherworld. However, Xiao Shou in front of her was clearly a True God. Without a doubt, he must have disguised himself back then.

A flicker of surprise crossed Xiao Shou's face, though it vanished quickly. With a wry smile, he replied, "Indeed. The deception was a necessary tactic at the time."

"What brings you here?" Yun Qianxue interjected coldly.

Xiao Shou's gaze shifted towards the swirling vortex, a flicker of pain crossing his features. "I come not in aggression, but in peace. The machinations of Si Junyi, his ambition to revive the ancient gods, threatened the delicate balance between realms."

He paused, then looked directly at Yun Qianxue. "I assure you, I stand against his plans. My presence here is to learn what transpired and offer any assistance I can."

Yun Qianxue and the others exchanged glances. They didn't quite believe in Xiao Shou's words. How could someone under Si Junyi go against his will?

Lan Qinghe, on the other hand, seemed intrigued, her eyes narrowing in thought.

"What makes you think we will trust you, a being from the Netherworld?" Li Shan remained nonchalant, but his sharp gaze remained fixed on Xiao Shou.

Xiao Shou smiled slightly. "I understand your skepticism. However, the actions of one being do not define an entire realm. I believe in a peaceful coexistence between the living and the dead."

He straightened his back, a glint of determination in his eyes. "Besides, my purpose aligns with yours – to ensure Si Junyi's schemes do not destabilize the Primal Chaos."

The woman beside him, the Flower Ghost King Hua Rong, looked at Yun Qianxue and the others in silence. Through the brief conversation, she immediately knew these people were related to Yun Lintian. She was curious about the relationship between them and him.

Silence hung heavy in the air for a moment. Yun Lintian's absence remained a constant weight, their worry for him overshadowing everything else.

Finally, Lin Xinyao spoke, her voice laced with caution. "If you truly wish to prove your intentions, perhaps you can explain your connection with Si Junyi in more detail."

Lan Qinghe's eyes narrowed. "It seems the God of Fate deliberately excluded you all."

"I believe so," Xiao Shou concurred with a nod.

"How do you propose to stop Si Junyi?" Lan Qinghe inquired. "With the Hell Asura by his side, I doubt we stand a chance."

"That's why I seek Yun Lintian. He possesses the greatest potential to be recognized by the Soul Scepter," Xiao Shou responded. "In truth, Si Junyi isn't inherently evil. His relentless pursuit of revenge has driven him to this point."

"What are you trying to say?" Han Bingling furrowed her brow.

"He is not our enemy. That's what I wanted to say." Xiao Shou said gently. "On the contrary, he may be Yun Lintian's most crucial ally."

He addressed everyone, continuing, "I believe each inheritor of the thirteen Primordial Gods has a specific purpose. While another Primordial War isn't out of the question, Yun Lintian, despite his strength, stands alone. He needs a powerful ally."

Lan Qinghe gestured with her chin. "Continue."

Xiao Shou elaborated, "Among the thirteen inheritors, Si Junyi is likely the only one who lived through the Primordial Era. In terms of mastering his Primordial God's power, he's undoubtedly at the forefront. Together, the inheritor of the God of Fate and him hold the greatest chance of controlling the situation."

He paused, his voice heavy as he concluded, "For the sake of the Primal Chaos, they must work together."

"Even if that's the case," Li Shan interjected, "do you believe Si Junyi will cooperate?"

"He will," Xiao Shou asserted firmly. "I'm confident he understands this himself. Fighting alone is impossible. That's why he came here. He needs more allies."

Lan Qinghe contemplated for a moment, about to speak, when several figures materialized on the horizon.

"You are here, Brother Xiao?"
