CHAPTER 625: CHAPTER 114_11

Today, I’ve come especially,

To send you on your way."

Yu Xuzi’s eyes immediately widened, and his body began to tremble, the fear sealed deep within his memory was awakening.

Both he and the Senior Brother he had killed with his own hands,

Were admirers of the Liu family.

And admiration has a synonym, that is, dread.

Although his Array had its regrets, missing a "Mill," other aspects were impeccable, truly solid and unassailable.

Even Li Zhiyuan, when observing this Array from outside earlier, thought there were only regrets and did not notice any significant flaws in the grand sealing Array.

Why did Yu Xuzi make his "cage" so strong and durable?

It wasn’t just for showing to the Heavenly Dao, but also for the Dragon King of the Liu family who might come to investigate in the future.

This Big Fish was gravely injured by the Dragon King of the Liu family, and following the Dragon King family’s style of action, she would pursue a matter through to the end; thus, she would likely follow the traces of the Big Fish’s escape.

His own Senior Brother had wanted to deal with this Big Fish, also thinking of using the opportunity to meet with the Dragon King.

Therefore, the top priority when Yu Xuzi constructed the Array was to make absolutely sure that the Dragon King would find no flaws.

"No, how could this be, how could this be, didn’t you say that the Liu family hasn’t been doing the River Crossing for decades?"

Li Zhiyuan nodded: "Before me, indeed no one from the Liu family had been doing the River Crossing for decades."

Uncle Qin had attempted but failed; nevertheless, he had tried to cross the river.

But Aunt Liu had never attempted it; presumably, Uncle Qin’s failure had left a psychological shadow on Yu Mei, so she couldn’t bear letting Aunt Liu take the risk of River Crossing.

"No, this isn’t true. Dragon Kings of both the Qin and Liu families? Hahahaha, how could that be possible, such pretentious bluffing is simply ridiculous and absurd, don’t you know, between the Dragon King families on the river, there is a blood feud?"

"Of course I know."

Li Zhiyuan couldn’t be bothered to explain further, the incredible romance between Grandma Liu and Grandpa Qin back in the day.

Especially to someone who was about to be thoroughly eradicated, wouldn’t that be a waste of breath?

"Speak, why aren’t you speaking, go on, continue with your stories, why have you stopped spinning tales!"

Yu Xuzi began to exhibit hysteria, his body stepping out of the fish’s mouth, and the aura of the Big Fish behind him grew increasingly feeble.

Li Zhiyuan: "I can’t be bothered discussing this with you."

"Can’t be bothered to speak? Hahaha, what a huge joke. If you can’t be bothered, then why did you just declare your background and perform the rites of the Liu family in front of me?"

"Because what I said just now, wasn’t for you; the rites weren’t performed for you either."

"Not for me, then for whom?"

Li Zhiyuan asked: "You’ve already merged with this monster, right?"

"Of course."

"Completely?"

"It is controlled by me, naturally!"

"But your soul was thoroughly destroyed before, and just now, you were even blasted by an outside version of yourself."

"Even so, as I’ve said, even in my current state, it’s more than enough to drag you all down with me!"

Yu Xuzi’s eyes gradually lost their madness, sensing a hint of crisis. With a wary gaze, he scanned each person, the youth and the three people beside him.

Li Zhiyuan reached out, gently tapping his forehead: "I’ve hinted so clearly, how have you not realized it?"

But, it’s not surprising.

He said he spent forty years to integrate with this Big Fish, which means he’s been in this state for over two hundred years. In his cognition, he is the monster, the monster is him, inseparable from each other.

"Daoist, aren’t you curious why we arrived so timely, precisely disrupting your plan that you’ve been waiting two hundred years for just before its success?

You really were, just a hair’s breadth away from cutting off the bloodlines of your three family disciples.

It’s not that you’re unlucky;

Rather, it’s because,

Someone has been sending me secret signals."

Li Zhiyuan moved his hand away, first pointing to Yu Xuzi, then slowly raising it to point at the Big Fish behind him.

In his mind, he recalled the scene at the riverbank at the edge of the village when he had just arrived; the performance of the chase between the Big Fish and Yu Xuzi.

The Big Fish that failed to catch Yu Xuzi, as if angrily venting its frustration, leaped high up from the river surface, drawing an arc before violently plunging back into the water.

This scene, identical to when he was lantern fishing in Alii’s dream.

Earlier when Yu Xuzi asked how he could see through him, Li Zhiyuan only answered about the Array.

In fact,

There was a more direct issue he did not mention.

That was,

Even though they had "met" before, Yu Xuzi did not recognize him.

Because the one who truly recognized him, and knew his identity,

Was always that Big Fish lurking in the river, silently observing with just those fish eyes.

"Enslaved by others, controlled by others, making the bridal gown for others, aren’t you resentful?

Since you willingly took the bait,

Then I’ll give you the opportunity for revenge.

What are you,

Still waiting for!"

The Big Fish behind Yu Xuzi that had originally become feeble, suddenly flashed a crimson light in its eyes, and its body burst into flames, burning itself in an instant.

It opened its huge, fanged mouth, with sharply pointed teeth, and swallowed,

Yu Xuzi, right in front!
