Chapter 2492: Motives



Yun Lintian's words sank in. Qi Jian and Qi Xun had, of course, heard the conversation between Yun Lintian and the World Eater earlier. They were aware of the seal deep within the Abyssal Rift.

What Yun Lintian had just guessed was indeed reasonable. Could it be... the Lord of Chaos really had an ulterior motive?

"Of course, it could also be that he's preparing people for a possible disaster," Yun Lintian continued. "Perhaps he will use these people to deal with whatever comes after the seal breaks."

Qi Jian and Qi Xun nodded slowly. It was indeed possible, but their intuition told them it wasn't as pure as Yun Lintian said. There must be something behind it.

Yun Lintian looked at the thousands of Chaos Crystals in front of him and said, "If you want to go, you can take these crystals. The choice is yours."

Qi Jian and Qi Xun were startled.

"This... is inappropriate, Young Master Yun. They belong to you," Qi Xun said hesitantly. It would be a lie if he wasn't tempted.

Yun Lintian smiled and said, "You have seen my power. To tell you the truth, I have no problem venturing deeper. If I truly want to be number one, no one here can be my opponent."

Qi Jian and Qi Xun, of course, had no doubt about it. They could see how terrifying Yun Lintian's understanding of the Law of Space was. It was a piece of cake for him to go through any spatial turbulence.

Qi Jian thought for a moment and said firmly, "Thank you, Young Master Yun. But I've made a decision. I won't go to the Haven anymore."

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. "Why not? As I told you, it was just my speculation."

Qi Jian shook his head and said, "You're right, Young Master Yun. It is indeed suspicious. All this time, I have never thought of it and always hailed the Haven as the ultimate goal. Now, I am sobered up."

He paused for a moment and continued, "My goal is, in fact, to serve the Golden Qilin Kingdom. I thought that I could become stronger when I went to the Haven and then return to serve the kingdom better. Now, I don't think I can come back once I go in."

The World Eater took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said, "Although your father has already gone, you still have your mother."

"My mother...?" Yun Lintian furrowed his brow slightly. Even now, he still had no idea who his mother was. Deep down in his heart, there seemed to be something missing. It was as if he had forgotten something very important to him.

The World Eater was slightly surprised. "I see. Well... It suits her well."

He paused for a moment and said, "Of course, I know your mother. Her name is Yun Wushuang."

Yun Lintian was stunned. "Yun Wushuang...? H-How...?"

Yun Lintian had never thought that the founder of the Misty Cloud Sect was actually his mother. But when he thought about it again, it was extremely likely to be true. After all, his appearance in the Misty Cloud Sect was obviously intentional. Someone put him there on purpose. With Yun Wushuang's background, everything made perfect sense.

"Where is she, Senior?" Yun Lintian quickly asked.

"I don't know," the World Eater responded gently. "But she will definitely appear in front of you soon. When the time comes, I hope you don't blame her. After all, it isn't easy for her to abandon her beloved son."

"Nonsense," Yun Lintian responded. "How could I blame her, Senior? She is my mother, and I know she will never harm me."

The World Eater was relieved to hear this. "It's good that you feel this way."

"Can you tell me more about her, Senior?" Yun Lintian asked eagerly.

The World Eater looked at him with a hint of kindness in its big eyes. "I would love to. But we have a situation here. You should leave now."

Suddenly, the surrounding space trembled...
