Chapter 800: Death Is The End Of People

Translator: AL_Squad Editor: AL_Squad

Xia Xiaohe, who came at the right time, was immediately attacked relentlessly. The immortal technique of Mahayana Stage cultivators hit her like a storm, forcing her to flash from left to right and in a difficult situation.

“Hey guys, no need to rush. We have neither grievances nor hatred. We should be peaceful and friendly to each other.

“Who wants to be peaceful and friendly with you!” Qin Guangmu’s eyes were red as blood and his hands were constantly changing gestures to adjust the attributes of the immortal spirit. Like tides, he sent out powerful immortal techniques which turned everything upside down.

Such a fierce offensive naturally did not come without a price. Although Qin Guangmu had a long experience, his cultivation was not the top among the Earth Immortals, it was still far away from achieving the baptism of the immortal spirit. He was unable to freely use immortal spirits like Xuan Mo and Bai Ze and his use of immortal technique was also greatly restricted. The price of Qin Guangmu’s breaking through the restrictions was the overdraft of the jade mansion and the burning of lifespan.

His hatred against the Fallen Immortals was indeed too deep. He joined the Earth Immortals very early, so it could be said that he watched his companions sacrifice themselves one by one, so the hatred between them was deep and long.

“Hey, don’t think of me as just any other Fallen Immortal. If it were those slaughterers who kill people like scything flax, they at least would’ve waited until you fight each other. How could they generously help you solve a big problem?”

“Who knows what you’re up to!” Food Immortal snorted coldly.

Xia Xiaohe laughed and said, “Since you don’t know what I’m up to, why did you guys immediately attack me brazenly? Aren’t you guys not afraid that I might set up an ambush? By the way, that little sister over there who is trying to contact support, you’d better think about it clearly. What would be the outcome if those from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals that you’re trying to contact arrive here? Do you guys really want to see your companions being sacrificed by a group of lowly critters?”

With that, Xia Xiaohe pointed to Xuan Mo and Bai Ze.

“You have the nerve to mention them! If it weren’t for you, why are they here?”

“Then don’t you want to know why they put down their deep blood feud with the Fallen Immortals and joined me?”

Speaking to this, Xia Xiaohe suddenly stopped moving and let Qin Guangmu’s golden light penetrate through her chest.

She spat out half a mouthful of blood and said in a low voice, “Qin Guangmu, have you done venting your anger?”

Qin Guangmu’s anger did not subside, but looking at Xia Xiaohe’s appearance, he couldn’t continue to make his move.

Perhaps Sun Buping was right about him at that time. He was an old man who was cold outside but warm in the inside, stern on the outside but tender and soft on the inside. He was not suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Facing their blood enemy, he couldn’t do it, he really was…

“Pfff!” Qin Guangmu’s heart was agitated and even spurted out blood. The blood color in his eyes then faded away.

The rest looked at each other and then stopped. In fact, most of this group of people were a little indecisive, they lacked the decisiveness. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let Xuan Mo and Bai Ze escape for such a long time. Among the earth immortals, the real tough and decisive ones did not join this group.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Xia Xiaohe coughed twice and said in a low voice, “I am very sorry for what happened back then.”

“Cut it, there’s no need to say such hypocritical words. What do you want?”

Xia Xiaohe shook her head and said, “I’m very serious… I was born in the Immortal World, and I didn’t know much about the Nine Regions. I only knew that this was one of the countless lower realms that could be freely looted and killed by the Immortal World. However, my visit to Nine Regions this time has changed my view by a lot. Although Nine Regions is not as powerful as the Immortal World, it is the foundation of the Immortal World. It has a unique charm not possessed by the Immortal World. I like it very much so I don’t want to see Nine Regions and Immortal World continue to fight like this. About this view, I can make an oath that there’s no half truth in it. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them.”

Luo Xue and the others immediately turned their attention toward Bai Ze and Xuan Mo.

Bai Ze smiled and said, “Yeah, in a sense, she’s right. Compared with the other Fallen Immortals, she has a little more affection for Nine Regions, but…”

However, before he could finish his words, Bai Ze felt a strong dizziness and weakness, such that he was unable to continue to speak. Previously he was tied to a column full of thorn and bled like a sea. Such a condition, even an Earth Immortal couldn’t bear it.

On the other hand, Xuan Mo was dedicated to taking care of Bai Ze so she had no intention to explain things to others.

When Immortal Luo Xue and the others heard this, they had a sudden change in heart.

“Well, even if you are different from the other Fallen Immortals, so what? Can you resolve the blood feud between the two sides? Or can you stop this Fallen Immortal crisis?”

Xia Xiaohe shook her head and said, “I can’t do these things. I can only guarantee that there will be hundreds of thousands of survivors in Nine Regions that will not be purged…”

“Hundreds of thousands? Do you know how many people there are in Nine Regions?”

“Are you kidding me? Are you trying to amuse us? ”

When everyone was questioning her, Xia Xiaohe said, “What I can do is indeed very-very limited, but it’s better than nothing at all. It’s not rational to fight against the Fallen Immortal. You can’t possibly imagine the kind of power that the Immortal World has, but that’s because the passage between the two worlds has not been fully opened. But now that the opening of the passage is the general trend, the gatekeeper alone could not hold on forever. Once the Immortal Army arrives, that would be the end of Nine Regions. At that time, these hundreds of thousands of survivors are the fire of hope, just like when you buried your hope in the tombs of the immortals and put aside everything else. So, why can’t you do it again now?”

With that, Xia Xiaohe smiled at the several people and said, “I know that this is a matter of great importance and you can’t make a decision immediately. So I think you guys might as well think about it first and give me a reply in a few days.”

After Xia Xiaohe left, Luo Xue and the others were confused.

“What should we do next?” Several people looked at each other, having no idea what to do. Among them, Immortal Luo Xue was the most intelligent and had the most ideas. But she seldom acted as the decision-maker and she couldn’t make decisions on such big matters.

Food Immortal suddenly said, “…The way I see it, instead of thinking about things in the future, it’s better to think about the immediate thing first. How can we explain to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals about Supreme Ling Dao being killed by that person?”

Everyone immediately understood.

This was indeed a big problem. It could be said that the death of Supreme Ling Dao was self-inflicted. At least it had nothing to do with them. But how could they explain this to the people of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals? When that time came, they wouldn’t be able to explain it.

Xia Xiaohe only killed Supreme Ling Dao but not them?

How would they explain that? Did they want to tell the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals that Xia Xiaohe wanted to instigate them and thus she was merciful and lenient toward them?

Then the next development was obvious, these instigated targets would not never be able to see the sun again. They would be locked and imprisoned for life. With Supreme Ling Dao as an example, Luo Xue and the others dared not think of the people of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals too kindly.

When they thought of this, several people began to complain.

“The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals is really disgusting. Although Wang Lu that kid is not bad, he has no time to run the Union now so ghosts and demons come out in large numbers, which is unbearable.”

“Yeah, that’s why Bai Ze didn’t agree to give the inheritance to them. Except for a few elite cultivators, most of them are just scums.”

“So… Does that mean we could at least consider Xia Xiaohe’s suggestion?”

“Hey! Stop that nonsense!”

“What are you afraid of? No one else can hear us now…”

When the several of them were discussing, Xuan Mo was still taking care of Bai Ze. At this time, she suddenly found Bai Ze moving his fingers, as if he wanted to say something, but was too weak to do it.

Xuan Mo quickly infused him with her immortal spirit, which relaxed him. However, when Bai Ze recovered a bit, he said something that surprised Xuan Mo.

“I think I should die.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Luo Xue and the others are deceived by Xia Xiaohe’s rhetoric and are repeating our mistakes… There has to be someone to come to wake them up, and no words are more powerful than a bloody reality.”

“Xia Xiaohe killed Ling Dao and pushed Luo Xue and the others into a dilemma. However, my death can give an account to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals and liberate them.”

“In the end, as long as Xia Xiaohe ‘forced me to die,’ it would cut off the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two sides, and Xia Xiaohe’s trick would be completely defeated.”

“So, for the present situation, my death is in the best interests of all parties.”

Xuan Mo opened her mouth, only to find that she had nothing to say.

Bai Ze softly sighed, “Moreover, I’m really tired.”

Xuan Mo was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled at Bai Ze.

“There’s still something lacking in what you said. If you want to completely cut off the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two sides, it is not enough to kill you alone. After all, your popularity among the earth immortals is not good… But if you add me, it will be different.”

At this moment, Bai Ze opened his eyes wide and said, “Xuan Mo, you!”

Xuan Mo gently hugged Bai Ze and replied, “I’m also very tired. Don’t forget that in the past five years, I have experienced the same torture as you. So, don’t ever think of throwing me away.”

Bai Ze was dumbfounded.

After a long time, his expression gradually melted by Xuan Mo’s temperature.

“Yes. We’re all tired, let’s take a rest together.”

　　——

At the same time, as the number one person in Nine Regions, Wang Lu began to feel a little overwhelmed.

There are more and more problems for him to deal with. Xia Xiaohe escaped several times, which had become a serious problem; Feng Yin in Stellar Peak had an unexpected situation, and the entire Nine Regions Map was not working smoothly; Wang Wu in the crack in the sky was suddenly in a difficult and precarious situation; the people in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals became more and more unreasonable, and the friction with the Earth Immortals almost became a reality; the Red Sea Underwater Workshop also encountered technical difficulties, and it was difficult to break through it with his own strength.

Everything was so urgent and almost everything must be dealt with by himself. The reputation of the number one person in Nine Regions was loud and fierce, but the burden was also terribly heavy.

Wang Lu was very clear that he could not handle all these things at the same time. He had to set priorities and work in order. However, judging from the current situation, any event that was left behind was extremely likely to deteriorate rapidly and eventually become out of control.

This was like a burning mess, it was very difficult to sort things out, let alone solve the whole problem.

“… It seems that it’s paramount for me to change the way I think.”

Wang Lu was flying in the sky, reflecting on his previous series of actions. In a sense, he didn’t do anything wrong, and every decision made had sufficient reasons. But obviously, the result was not good.

“To solve this dilemma, a breakthrough must be found first…”

Wang Lu took a long breath, mobilized the extremely powerful computing power of the giant Divine Weapon, and put all the information he knew into it for processing… After no one knew how long, a light flashed in his mind.

“Yes, it’s him!”
