Chapter 514: The Demise of Defying Fate_3
She indeed came to the Central Battlefield having heard that many talents from the Mystical Mechanism Continent were preparing to enter the battlefield for trial, wanting to see if she could bump into Liang Yi based on her own cultivation.
But that wasn't a reason for her to work in vain.
"Of course, that's no problem."
When Liang Yi sensed the faintly dangerous look in Wan Tinggui's eyes, he nodded his head and directly agreed.
He still hadn't figured out the use of the World Origin for himself, so there was no need to hold on to so much of it for the time being.
Moreover, Wan Tinggui indeed lent a great helping hand this time, which was acknowledged by both him and his junior sister, so naturally, it was only right to give a reward.
Su Youyi nodded in agreement, indicating the same; without Wan Tinggui, they really couldn't have managed.
"So it's... was... you..."
Just then, Cen Zian, who was only left with a breath of life, slowly awoke, struggling to open an eye to look at everyone, and finally resting his gaze upon Wan Tinggui.
Only now, upon seeing Wan Tinggui up close, did he vaguely recall who this woman was.
But no matter what, Cen Zian just couldn't understand how this woman, who was clearly with the Devouring Spirit Sect and had defected to the Abyss, could so openly betray the Abyss! There had to be measures to restrict them.
Wan Tinggui, however, had no intention of wasting words with Cen Zian, using her Daoist Skill to seal the man's mouth, then a strange tone emitted from her mouth and entered Cen Zian's ears.
Cen Zian's eyes suddenly widened upon hearing something, filled with fear, yet his vitality cut off in that moment.
Old Master Ju didn't care at all about Cen Zian dying at his hands; anyway, the moment this man hurt Su Youyi, his fate was already sealed.
Not to speak of others, at least Liang Yi would definitely not allow this man to continue living.
Wan Tinggui, satisfied, gathered up the chaotic white orb of light, looking quite pleased.
"Now that the Devouring Spirit Sect still exists, our alliance still stands, right?"
After making sure Cen Zian was dead beyond any doubt, Liang Yi then turned to Wan Tinggui to ask this rare opportunity.
Although the Devouring Spirit Sect was heavily hit by both Mystical Mechanism forces and the players, a centipede dies but never falls down; now under the lead of Tian Anyu, all decisively defected to the Abyss, so Liang Yi still had a long way to go to reach his minor goal of eradicating the Devouring Spirit Sect.
"That is natural, but not all members of the Devouring Spirit Sect agreed to join the Abyss."
Wan Tinggui put away the World Origin in her hand, apparently not planning on directly dissolving the alliance.
"Those who entered the Abyss were all following my father's faction, but the loyal subordinates I've worked so hard to cultivate are still following me and have not chosen to become Abyss Cultivators. Now the Devouring Spirit Sect has truly split into two."
"It seems you've been quite busy..."
Liang Yi looked at Wan Tinggui with a hint of surprise in his eyes, not expecting her to have such Charm to convince so many from the Devouring Spirit Sect to defect. It looked like she had been working hard usually.
Su Youyi was also surprised. The Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect was already a cultivator of the Ninth Realm. Yet despite this, there were still Devouring Spirit Sect cultivators who chose to follow the Seventh Realm's Wan Tinggui instead of Tian Anyu. This was somewhat astonishing to Su Youyi, wondering how Wan Tinggui managed to do this.
"It's alright; thanks to your help."
Wan Tinggui humbly waved her hand, not taking all the credit for herself.
"If you hadn't united all the Super Forces and those Abnormal People to deal a heavy blow to the Devouring Spirit Sect, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation and nurture my own loyalists without being discovered."
"Mutual benefit, right? It wouldn't be right to always rely on the intelligence you provided without putting in any work."
Liang Yi laughed heartily. Wan Tinggui had provided him with extremely important intelligence many times; cooperation shouldn't always be one-sided effort.
"But since we are in such tacit agreement, let's continue our efforts to completely eradicate the Devouring Spirit Sect."
"Is there anything else you require, Saintess? If not, we will take Zen sect's two high monks back to camp to report."
Right now, Liang Yi was truly exhausted and also wanted to find an opportunity to reprimand his junior sister alone; after a brief exchange with Wan Tinggui, he was ready to make a quick exit.
For how Wan Tinggui disguised himself as an Abyss Cultivator and how he managed to fool the Abyss without being corroded by the Abyss Demon Qi, he was not at all interested in these details. As long as he could get help, that was enough.
On the other side, after Yue Bai removed whatever she had done to the two Zen monks, the two high-ranking Zen monks also slowly regained consciousness, with a puzzled look on their faces as they watched the crowd encircling them, having no idea what was going on.
Their last memory was of their junior brother's betrayal, and they were even more wounded by the junior brother's sneak attack, and their vision darkened as they fainted.
Although their injuries are mostly healed now, they are still confused about what happened.
They also faintly sensed that someone had tampered with them; otherwise, as Seventh Realm Cultivators, they should at least know what was happening around them.
However, considering that they were saved by Liang Yi and others, they chose to selectively ignore this detail.
"Junior brother, he…"
Mi Le looked around, the trace of his junior brother was nowhere to be seen; hesitantly, he turned to look at his senior brother.
"Amitabha..."
Mi Sheng did not say anything, just shook his head at Mi Le and whispered the Buddha's name.
Mi Sui turning into an Abyss Cultivator due to the corrosion of the Abyss Demon Qi was an undeniable fact they witnessed and felt firsthand. No matter whether Mi Sui had now fled or was directly slain by Liang Yi and the others, they should not ask any further questions about it.
Mi Le gritted his teeth, with a sad expression, his hands joined together as he continually murmured the Soul Crossing Scripture.
"Thank you very much, Miss Wan, for this time. If there is anything you need help with in the future, please do not hesitate to send a message to Youyi."
Su Youyi sincerely gave a bow to Wan Tinggui and made her promise.
"Eh, wait a moment…"
Seeing Liang Yi ready to leave with his group, Wan Tinggui suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something to ask of Liang Yi, almost forgetting it in his excitement.
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Su Youyi curiously turned her head towards Wan Tinggui, who was catching up to them, wondering what the Saintess still needed.
"It's still about the Devouring Spirit Sect. Originally, if you two were still in the Sixth Realm, I wouldn't have thought of seeking your help. But now it seems that your strength far exceeds my expectations."
Wan Tinggui stepped forward and whispered.
This matter was urgent, the less people knew about it, the smaller the chance of leakage.
Liang Yi thought about it and decided to set up a soundproof Daoist Skill around the three of them that could shield them from the perception and prying of others.
"Can you speak now?"
Liang Yi was curious, wondering what matter required Wan Tinggui to ask for his help.
Wan Tinggui nodded without hesitation and directly shared her objective with Liang Yi and Su Youyi:
"I want to kill the White Tiger Envoy!"
"The White Tiger Envoy? Bai Sheng?"
Liang Yi and Su Youyi were stunned for a moment, then quickly realized.
That guy was an old acquaintance of theirs, having troubled them more than once in the past. Many times, if it weren't for Senior Zhou Yuqing's presence, they would have definitely fallen to the White Tiger Envoy's hand.
Now that Wan Tinggui said she wanted to kill this guy, Liang Yi naturally became interested.
The people who made it onto my list, do they really think I, Liang Yi, am a saint who holds no grudges across a hundred lifetimes?
