C2033 Poor Thing
With his back facing Zi Mochou, Ye Lingtian hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "Whether you can return to modern society is not my problem, it's your problem."
Zi Mochou raised her hand and gently placed it on Ye Lingtian's shoulder. "Indeed, it's my problem."
"I have never enjoyed a life above tens of thousands of people. I can't let go of my hands and feet in the modern society, I have no scruples in the Immortal Arts world."
"But no matter how good my days are, I will be tired of them. Who knows when I might want to return to the modern world."
Ye Lingtian lowered his head to look at the stone that was being blown away by the drizzle and replied softly, "It's still your problem."
Zi Mochou retracted her hand and said, "If there really is a day, I hope there won't be a group of people chasing after me."
Ye Lingtian turned around and smiled: "If you can kill me, of course you will. If you can't kill me, you can't send yourself to die either. Everyone knows their own lives and they won't go against their own lives."
Zi Mochou wiped the corner of her eyes and smiled sweetly. "I think I already know the answer. Thank you."
"Thanks for what I did. I didn't do anything."
Words do not mean what they say! Seeing Ye Lingtian's figure moving further and further away, Zi Mochou raised her head to look at the cloudy sky. "He's also a pitiful person."
Zixia Villa, Holy Maiden Palace, Secret Room.
Dugu Xueyu stared at the cold wall in silence for a long time.
Gao Jie fell to his knees without saying a word.
Even until this moment, he still could not understand how a sect that could not withstand a single blow in the first round could turn Dugu Family into such a state in the second round.
A complete wipeout, almost a total wipeout.
If the Immortal Arts Alliance took the opportunity to attack the Zixia Villa, then there would be no possibility for the Dugu Family to make a comeback.
"Get up." Dugu Xueyu said to Gao Jie as she came back to her senses.
"This subordinate is guilty and was unable to protect High Lord Zhou Quan …" Gao Jie couldn't stop his tears from flowing as he thought about the scene of Wu Qingdi's death.
"What kind of Cultivation Level are you, and what kind of abilities do you have, to be able to protect her?"
Dugu Xueyu tightly held onto the Longsword on the table, thinking of Wu Qingdi's words before the battle, her eyes moistened.
Gao Jie looked at Dugu Xueyu and said while gnashing his teeth, "We must take revenge."
Dugu Xueyu glanced at Gao Jie and asked, "Do we still have the power to take revenge?"
"Yes!" Gao Jie stood up with madness in his eyes. "The Immortal Arts Alliance is currently attacking the Zixia Villa, there's nothing we can do."
"Looking at the current situation, they do not have any plans to take advantage of the victory to pursue us. This means that the Immortal Arts Alliance is not as united as we thought they were, and we still have a chance to win."
Dugu Xueyu said, "In that case, I'll leave command to you."
Gao Jie was shocked by Dugu Xueyu's words, "Holy Maiden, what did you say?"
"I said that the command of Dugu Family should be given to you." Dugu Xueyu said expressionlessly: "I am strong in the Cultivation Level, not leading the troops into battle."
Gao Jie was stunned for a long time before he quickly kneeled down and said with a trembling voice: "Holy Maiden, you can't. I don't have the qualifications to be the leader of Dugu Family."
"Even if this subordinate carries the burden of having the Dugu Family to rule the world, I am unable to do so."
"Your loyalty is the greatest qualification. The fact that you were able to escape from the second match is proof of your strength."
"If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid none of the people my mother brought with her would have survived."
Dugu Xueyu helped Gao Jie up and said earnestly, "Actually, this wasn't my intention. It was my mother's order before she left. I never thought that …"
"I never thought that the most unlikely scenario would happen. This is good as well. Since he is able to do this, I'm not afraid that I can't do it anymore."
Gao Jie hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "Holy Maiden, I still want you to think about it. My aptitude is too low, I'm afraid that no one will accept it."
"If anyone isn't convinced, then tell me and I'll kill them." Dugu Xueyu fished out a Spirit Stone from her bosom and solemnly handed it over to Gao Jie: "This is the greatest secret of Dugu Family, unless it is absolutely necessary, to not open it."
"In this situation, I think of the time when life and death are at stake. In this battle, don't let mother and I be disappointed."
Gao Jie's hands trembled as he held the Spirit Stone. He looked at Dugu Xueyu and nodded heavily. "I will do my best to not let Holy Maiden down."
"I hope so." Dugu Xueyu waved her hand. "Unless something huge happens, I don't want to go to the place where I closed myself off."
As Dugu Xueyu spoke, she opened the door of the secret room. With a slightly dazed look in her eyes, she said, "He has the Time and Space Blade which allows him to use the barrier, so if my Cultivation Level is not raised to a certain level, how could I be his match?"
With heavy steps, Dugu Xueyu walked out of the Holy Maiden Palace. At this time, the sunlight was exceptionally gorgeous, but she felt a bone-piercing coldness.
Walking along the mountain path to the depths of the forest, Dugu Xueyu sat down helplessly. The tears that she had suppressed finally flowed down her face.
When Wu Qingdi appeared in front of her, she didn't have much feelings for her. After being together for so many days, her ice-cold heart had a strong feeling of kinship.
So he really had a mother. So he had the same happiness as the mother's child.
Every night, she would even have the same delusions. When the dust settled, she would be at loggerheads with Ye Lingtian. As a mother, Wu Qingdi also made her stand – she wouldn't interfere too much in her private life.
When the news of Ye Lingtian becoming the leader of the Immortal Arts Alliance arrived, the situation changed.
Dugu Xueyu still had one last trace of fantasy in her heart. With Wu Qingdi's fall, all of her fantasies went down the drain.
Thinking about how she had suffered due to the high hopes placed in her by the Dugu Family, she held her head and sobbed.
She was still Dugu Xueyu who was at the Shangyin City Academy. What had changed was the situation, a situation that could not be reversed.
Everything was fate's merciless tease.
The only man who had ever had feelings for each other was the biggest enemy, the main culprit who wanted to root Dugu Family.
She did not care who won the final battle. What she cared about was the death of the enemies in Dugu Family, and the death of the person who killed her mother.
How can I do this? The strong were revered in the world of the Immortal Arts. In the end, the only person she could rely on for her Dugu Family was Dugu Xueyu.
The sky gradually darkened, and the mountain breeze was slightly chilly. Dugu Xueyu supported herself with her hands as she stood up.
Tears had dried on her face. She raised her head to look up at the starry sky, revealing a helpless smile. "Actually, this is really good. There's no need to think too much into it."
Walking through the dense forest to the seclusion chamber, a high ranking Female Cultivator came up to her and advised, "Holy Maiden, we found out about the matter with the High Lord …"
Dugu Xueyu stretched out her small hand and cut off her words, "Don't say any words of consolation. It's useless to comfort me. The only way to wash away the deep hatred is always through strength."
Female Cultivator nodded lightly, a trace of worry flashing through her eyes.
Dugu Xueyu had an extraordinary talent in Cultivation Level, but she still had a way to go before she could reach the Sword of Space and Time.
To be exact, the amount of influence Dugu Xueyu had on Ye Lingtian's strength was still unknown.
In order to win for sure, Dugu Xueyu's comprehension level can't be weaker than Ye Lingtian, or even stronger than Ye Lingtian.
"Don't you have a deeper understanding of Dugu Family?" Dugu Xueyu asked.
Female Cultivator lowered her head and replied, "I've told you everything that I should tell you. What you've done is better than what we've imagined. The rest of the way, you can only rely on yourself."
"Don't we still have some comprehension of the mental cultivation of the Devil Dao?" Dugu Xueyu frowned.
Comprehension of the Path of Demon? Female Cultivator was shocked and hurriedly said, "Holy Maiden, you mustn't. The Devil's Note can indeed raise your strength in a short period of time, but it is not a bright path."
"After coming into contact with the devil blade's comprehension, this subordinate fears that not only will your Cultivation Level not increase in strength, it will decrease instead. At that time, your Cultivation Level will be irreparable."
Dugu Xueyu shook her head with a bitter smile, "If we don't try, how do we know that it is doomed? Besides, do I have a choice? "
In the end, what was the situation in the Immortal Arts world?
As a veteran Nine Great Heavenly Cultivators, Xie Feiyang was super strong. It was hard to say if he could beat Dugu Xueyu with her current combat power.
As for Ye Lingtian, even though his Cultivation Level realm was not high, he controlled the Spatial and Time Blade with the barrier energy. From any angle, he was better than Xie Feiyang.
To Dugu Xueyu, the pressure to completely wipe both of them out of the Immortal Arts World was enormous.
Accurately speaking, the Dugu Family which had previously held the complete advantage was now in an absolute disadvantage.
The situation in this world was truly unpredictable.
Dugu Xueyu's mouth was filled with bitterness as she paused and continued, "There's no other way, we can only bet everything on one throw. Besides, are the immortals and devils really on a different path? I don't think so. "
Immortals and Demons aren't the only paths? High ranking Female Cultivator's mouth was agape, her eyes filled with doubt. "Holy Maiden, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Actually, even if you don't understand, I still don't understand. I just faintly feel that I shouldn't walk on the Immortal Path like this."
Dugu Xueyu thought about the recent cultivation process and slowly said, "The reason why generation after generation of Nine Great Heavenly Cultivators have been unable to progress after breaking through the peak of Immortal Cultivator of Heaven Stage for so long is because of the restrictions of Space Rules s?"
"If that's the case, how could Ye Lingtian possess the Time and Space Blade with the Spirit Formation power?"
"Does Holy Maiden mean that the reason the Nine Great Heavenly Cultivators has stagnated throughout the generations, is because they have never come into contact with the comprehension of the demonic way?"
Dugu Xueyu nodded her head. "I know that in your opinion, this is outrageous, but the truth is never in the hands of the majority."
"The tradition is used to break it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have the former glory of the Frigid Smoke Mountain, nor would it have a glorious history of the Dugu Family."
Female Cultivator's lips parted slightly, but she swallowed her words in the end. She had no say in this issue.
Regardless of whether it was his comprehension or his strength, Dugu Xueyu, who was below her a while ago, had unknowingly walked up to her.
"At the time of the Shangyin City, he had just become a cultivator, but in the end, he had already reached an unprecedented level. Even with extraordinary talent, he couldn't be so heaven defying!"
Dugu Xueyu's brows congealed, and said resolutely: "He must have seen a place that we haven't seen before. How many places are there in the Immortal Arts Domain and the Dugu Family that we haven't seen yet?"
