Chapter 2461 Whom Should We Believe?
How do you know I'm unwilling if you don't tell me?
“If you really think it’s better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life, why not try my method?” He Lingchuan said urgently. “It can cut off the power supply from the Stone Heart to Shangguan Biao, and you won’t have to die a heroic death.”
Mother Earth immediately asked, "How do we do it?"
It's not easy for wood and stone to gain a spirit; even it doesn't want to die.
He Lingchuan knew his words sounded like they had ulterior motives, but he still had to say them: "Go to my secret realm, and I can sever the connection between your soul and body! All you have to do is say to me, 'I am willing!'"
"..."
The Earth Mother's two rows of sharp teeth ground together with a grinding sound. "Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me too?"
The stone figure in front of him was restored once more, and then multiplied into many clones. Shangguan Biao laughed loudly:
"He's lying to you. The secret realm could never sever your connection to your body. He just wants to kill you easily without letting you resist!"
The Earth Mother said in a deep, muffled voice, "The biggest liar I know is you!"
"Is that so?" Shangguan Biao pointed towards the Thunder Pool. "Keep an eye on the water and see what his companions are saying!"
A ripple spread across the surface of Leichi Lake, and then a scene appeared.
Several immortals spoke with the Spider Queen of the Cave, discussing how Shangguan Biao had stolen the Earth Mother's power and transferred the damage he suffered to her. Dissatisfied with their passive position, the immortals suggested to the Spider Queen that the Nine Nether Emperor kill the Earth Mother!
This is the ultimate solution to the problem of Yujing City once and for all.
Otherwise, in a situation where they are completely at a disadvantage and cannot harm Shangguan Biao in the slightest, they would have no choice but to leave.
Once these hundreds of Ling Shan people leave the city, the Spider Queen's army will immediately become weak and outnumbered, no match for the demon army and the Heavenly Demons.
and so……
The scene fades out here.
After reading it, Mother Earth fell silent.
He Lingchuan threw his spear into the water twice. Although it temporarily disturbed the surface of the water, the sound still came out from underwater and was very clear.
Shangguan Biao sneered, "Do you understand? They just want to kill you, and they don't even want you to resist. That's why Jiuyou tricked you into entering that secret realm! Don't you know that only death can sever the connection between your soul and body!"
Mother Earth at least agreed with his last statement.
So, is this Nine Nether Emperor beside me also a big liar? Should I really trick him into going to his death?
Mother Earth felt her mind was in complete chaos, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
It had only recently awakened and was still unfamiliar with Jade Capital City, unable to notice every corner of the city. However, it knew which area the immortals and spider demons frequented.
"Master Sihai and the Spider Queen were talking, but they activated a soundproof barrier beforehand, so you couldn't hear their conversation at all." He Lingchuan thrust his spear into Shangguan Biao's heart, speaking quickly at the same time, "This audio is fake!"
Shangguan Biao can even fake a secret realm, so what difficulty could it possibly be to add a voice-over to the scene in the Thunder Pool?
"How do you know? There's no sign of Master Sihai opening the barrier in this footage at all." Shangguan Biao sneered. "So, you can still contact the Spider Queen, right? Otherwise, Master Sihai wouldn't have made this suggestion to her!"
He turned to Mother Earth and said, "Did you hear that? They're working together to plot against you! If you don't push him away, he'll stab you in the heart!"
The Blood Demon sneered, "Don't listen to his nonsense! The Nine Nether Emperor is your only savior to leave the Void! Pushing him away is courting death!"
Mother Earth stood frozen in place, now truly resembling a large rock.
From its perspective, this newly emerged "Nine Nether Emperor" is the real unknown; its understanding of him is far less than its understanding of Shangguan Biao.
We met only once and were complete strangers.
Whom should it listen to, and whom should it ignore?
Whom should it believe, and whom should it disbelieve?
The key question is, what will it do next?
Mother Earth once again hated herself for being so dull-witted, unable to think things through at such a crucial moment.
"No need to dwell on it for now." He Lingchuan knew it wouldn't be so easy to figure it out, and pointed his long sword diagonally forward. "We have a new enemy."
A new enemy?
The Earth Mother looked in the direction the knife was pointing and saw several giant monsters rushing out from behind the hill and heading this way.
Behind the monster were three other people. He Lingchuan only recognized one of them, Xi Yu, but the other two also seemed to have extraordinary cultivation levels.
"All three of them were immortals; and these monsters had been rampaging through the city, indiscriminately killing people and demons, and were called—" Mother Earth remembered their deeds.
"Qi Beast." He Lingchuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Shangguan Biao. "Are you out of your mind? You actually put the Heavenly Demon and the Qi Beast into your own Void Realm?"
"Choose the lesser of two evils." Shangguan Biao grinned at him. "As long as they can take your life, I can tolerate it."
"Just watch, they're not just coming for me." He Lingchuan grabbed his spear with his backhand. "You know, it's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away. I thought you were a smart man who wouldn't do something as foolish as letting wolves into the house!"
Shangguan Biao chuckled twice: "Then you won't need to trouble yourself."
Doesn't he know what the Heavenly Demon is planning? Don't worry, he's prepared.
He Lingchuan glanced at him and suddenly laughed, "You've shown your weakness. The situation outside is much worse than it looks."
He was also quickly making plans in his mind.
Shangguan Biao lured the Qi Beast into the arena because he couldn't defeat He Lingchuan. Although the damage he suffered was transferred to the Earth Mother, after fighting for so long, He Lingchuan showed no signs of defeat and it seemed like they could fight forever.
Worst of all, Jiuyou keeps slandering the Earth Mother, who is both simple-minded and foolish, and might fall for it if she gets confused.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the Panlong New Secret Realm and the Duzhishan Secret Realm were locked in a fierce battle. The demon army was at a disadvantage in the battle against the Lingshan people, their morale was low, and many deserters were leaving. The demons were not stupid; they could see that Yujing City was different from before, and their leader, "Earth Mother," was also having problems, as she had not yet come out to fight the Lingshan people!
If a leader is in trouble, human armies will collapse, let alone demon armies, which are even less disciplined and cohesive.
Furthermore, the Earth Mother's struggle for control of Jade Capital is becoming increasingly powerful, and the overall situation is unfavorable to Shangguan Biao.
Therefore, he wanted to end the conflict quickly.
Shangguan Biao narrowed his eyes at him: "It's alright, as long as I get rid of you, everything will be fine."
Once the Nine Nether Emperor, this obstacle, is eliminated, his Jade Capital can be restored to its former glory. No, it will be even more powerful than before.
Suddenly, Mother Earth said, "Here, take this."
Having said that, it threw something to He Lingchuan. The latter caught it and saw that it was a blue gemstone the size of a pigeon's egg.
"Those Qi beasts don't look easy to defeat. This is a talisman made from my stone tendons; it has strong protective power and can help you defend against enemies."
He Lingchuan thanked him and casually placed the sapphire on his left arm guard.
