CHAPTER 1930: CHAPTER 1931: AS YOU WISH

Ye Qingci’s fantastical words left Xu Nanzhi stunned in place. She now knew that Yu Yanshu’s identity was somewhat special.

But even with mental preparation, the fact that Su Chengyu had taken in a disciple from the roadside who turned out to have such an identity still felt unbelievable to her.

"I’ve only told you this matter for now, apart from you and me, only Long Xuan has heard a bit about it. Of course, not as much as I know."

Their opportunity to know about this matter was the same; they both learned a bit about Yu Yanshu on their second trip to the Kunwu Realm. Ye Qingci’s judgment came naturally from her understanding of Yu Yanshu.

"No wonder the Demonic Path has always been unwilling to give up on him. But how did that lot learn about this matter?"

Ye Qingci shook her head: "The sky and earth now are just a chess game, you, I, him, and even Yu Yanshu himself, are pieces in the game, just with different importance. And these secrets that almost involve the whole board are naturally revealed by outsiders."

Xu Nanzhi quickly grasped the point and raised her head: "So behind the Demonic Path, there are also people from above?"

"Almost certainly. And that’s not even the worst news. Judging by the recent messages you received, it’s clear that more than one person is involved in the game. Do you understand how dangerous this mission is now?"

Xu Nanzhi bowed her head and stayed silent for a moment before saying: "I understand, but rest assured, Qingci sister, no matter what happens, I will definitely bring Chengyu and Yan’er back together."

"What if you can only bring back one of them?"

Ye Qingci was evidently not reassured and continued to press Xu Nanzhi.

Xu Nanzhi froze for a moment, hesitating in place, speechless for a long time.

Bang!

An impact wave directly passed through the waves and struck Xu Nanzhi, who instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, her figure wobbling as a result.

Yet even so, Xu Nanzhi still did not unlock her domain, even understanding that such support wouldn’t hold the opponent for more than a few breaths, but she still refused to let go.

A moment longer means a greater chance for Yu Yanshu to succeed, since she chose Yu Yanshu for the final step to rescue Su Chengyu, Xu Nanzhi naturally trusted Yu Yanshu unconditionally.

"Humph, your determination is commendable. But even with all your support, everything here is still teetering on the brink, isn’t it?"

The long-haired man spoke, gently teasing his fingers, the waves instantly parting, and his gaze fell through the sea waves, landing on Yu Yanshu who had reached Su Chengyu.

"What a pity, your final resistance ends here."

A streak of Qi Blade formed amid the surge of Heavenly Dao Breath around the long-haired man’s fingertip, and the whole sky echoed with a ferocious buzz as the blade rushed heavily toward Yu Yanshu.

"No!"

As Xu Nanzhi’s voice rang out, a loud explosion sounded behind Yu Yanshu, and the Qi Blade, which could tear through everything, seemed to be hit by a tremendous force upon approaching Yu Yanshu, instantly dissipating into the heaven and earth as Primordial Heavenly Dao Breath scattered all over.

This sudden upheaval made the long-haired man’s face change instantly, quickly scanning for the source of the disturbance.

"Who’s fooling around in front of me?"

"Oh? It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other and you don’t recognize me? So now that you’ve taken on a human form, your memory has turned poor?"

The voice, unforgettable to the long-haired man for a lifetime, echoed, causing even the Primordial Tree to tremble violently.

Power of the Heavenly Dao gathered into a massive beam of light, firing directly at the source of the voice!

"Sky Wind Dancing!"

Feng Jie Yu’s graceful figure fell from the sky, fully resisting the long-haired man’s strike, the man noticing the breath of Power of Cause and Effect winding around Feng Jie Yu, knowing that simple attacks could not break her defense.

And beneath Feng Jie Yu, stood Su Zhedian, who had just barely arrived at the scene.

However, unlike the first meeting with the Luo Clan, Xu Nanzhi could clearly feel that Su Zhedian was not in a good state at that moment. Although he appeared fine externally, the countless uncontrollable Heavenly Dao Breaths swirling around him were enough to affirm Xu Nanzhi’s suspicion.

"Su Zhedian, do you think just because someone is protecting you, you’re safe? Do you people really think you can take your son from my hands?"

Su Zhedian chuckled, looking the long-haired man over: "You’ve got the form down, just how are you still so stubborn? You’ve dealt with me for decades, can’t you learn a few things?"

"Su Zhedian! Do you understand your situation right now? Your son and that oddly-identified girl are both in my grasp! Not to mention..."

Su Zhedian chuckled, his figure unknowingly having appeared beside Xu Nanzhi, after glancing at Xu Nanzhi, he directly interrupted: "Not to mention those Demonic Path fellows have already joined forces with you, right?"

"As long as you’re aware! Draw that sword, and I’ll let you leave, otherwise none of you will have it easy."

Su Zhedian glanced at the sword, his expression revealing a look of reminiscence: "Do you have any idea how much time and effort it took to place that sword there? Just pull it out? Then everything I’ve done in the past decades would have been for nothing!"

"Shut up! You should know you have no choice, I know what you’re planning! But you should know, if that girl dies here, nothing you do afterward will ever matter."

"She won’t die."

Su Zhedian’s tone finally turned serious. He looked over at Yu Yanshu, who was already attempting to rescue Su Chengyu, and softly said: "She won’t, and neither will my son."

Upon hearing Su Zhedian’s words, the long-haired man couldn’t help but laugh: "Humph, you understand me well, but do you really think that just you two can save them right under my nose?"

"I can’t, not even when I was uninjured could I do it. You know this, which is why you’ve captured my son to force me out, isn’t it?"

"Then why are you being stubborn!"

Su Zhedian smiled, looking in that direction and said: "I can’t do it, but I believe my son will come out on his own."

"What nonsense! What thing is he?"

"He’s not a thing, he’s my son, Su Chengyu."

Su Zhedian spoke resolutely, earnestly looking at the long-haired man.

"Since you’re that confident, why don’t we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

Su Zhedian blinked and softly said: "Within three quarters of an hour, my son will come out of that place on his own. If I lose, I’ll naturally draw the sword, but if you lose..."

The long-haired man squinted and proactively replied: "I’ll grant your wish, naturally."

"Deal."
