206: Its Time For Sacrifice
🕑 Added 2025-03-17 15:45:06 +0000 UTCThe sound of this voice stirred the soul, like a note from legendary celestial music. It was a voice so enchanting that it could draw almost any man, or even woman, into a blissful, dreamlike fantasy.
Even the completely broken Luo Changsheng, who had been muttering nonsense for a while, felt his soul stirred. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. His vacant eyes regained their luster. He had never heard such a fantastically mesmerizing voice in his life. At this moment, he has even forgotten about his father's matter.
Without even seeing the owner of the voice, Yun Wuji already knew who it was — Qianye Ying'er. He had met her not long ago when he first arrived in the God Realm.
'She came faster than I expected. Was she waiting for us here? Or has she been following us from the very beginning?'
In the Eastern Divine Region, and perhaps the entire God Realm, there were only three people besides him who had incredibly powerful concealment techniques, and all of them were women. The first was Jasmine, who had inherited the Heavenly Slaughter Star God Legacy. The second was Mu Xuanyin, who cultivated the Moon Splitting Cascade. And the last was Qianye Ying'er, with her Great Splendorous Brahma Shadow.
Great Splendorous Brahma Shadow, is a profound movement skill that was created by the Brahma Heaven God Clan's Ancestor. Like the Moon Splitting Cascade, if the Great Splendorous Brahma Shadow is practiced to full mastery, it grants the practitioner the ability to use perfect invisibility.
However, much like the Moon Splitting Cascade, the Great Splendorous Brahma Shadow is unimaginably difficult to cultivate. So much so that the only one to have mastered this skill to great perfection, aside from the Brahma Heaven God Clan’s ancestor, is Qianye Ying’er.
Qianye Ying’er’s luxurious golden figure slowly emerged from the void, standing before the three. Her eyes swept briefly over Luo Guxie before locking onto Yun Wuji. As for Luo Changsheng, she didn’t even acknowledge his existence, much less spare him a glance.
"Brahma Monarch Goddess!" Luo Guxie's entire body stiffened in shock. She stared at Qianye Ying'er with wide eyes, uttering the words slowly.
Subconsciously, her grip on Yun Wuji tightened.
Without thinking, she knew why someone as high and mighty as the 'Lady Goddess' had appeared here and followed them.
It was because of Fei Yang!
She came to take Fei Yang!
Her Fei Yang!
"Luo Guxie, I don't want to waste my precious time."
Under her golden mask, Qianye Ying'er's indifferent eyes locked onto Luo Guxie as she spoke in a cold, contemptuous tone.
"Hand over that man, and I shall not make things difficult for you. I will even allow you to leave."
Luo Guxie’s body trembled at Qianye Ying’er’s words. Even though she had already guessed her goal, a small glimmer of hope had lingered, one that was extinguished completely the moment Qianye Ying’er spoke.
Although no one knew the exact extent of the infamous Lady Goddess’s strength, there were many rumors that she had already reached the 10th level of the Divine Master Realm.
Standing in front of her right now, Luo Guxie could clearly feel the dreadful oppressive might emanating from her. It was unmistakably the aura of a 10th-level Divine Master!
What shocked her even more was that the pressure this woman exuded felt even more terrifying than that of the Moon God Emperor and the Star God Emperor she had met many times before.
'She is less than a thousand years old… How did she reach this level?!'
However, even though she knew the situation was dire and the most sensible choice was to hand Yun Wuji over, how could she possibly do it?
Aside from her son, Yun Wuji was the only person who gave her a reason to continue living in this dull, gray world. There was no way she could give him up!
Even if her opponent was terrifying beyond reason, she wouldn’t abandon the man she loved!
‘What is she going to do?’ Yun Wuji didn’t pay any attention to Qianye Ying’er. Although she was breathtakingly beautiful, transcending any and all fantasies a man could have, she was wearing a mask.
At the moment, watching Luo Guxie's reaction was far more interesting to him.
Right now, she was like a weak main character from one of those old web novels from the early 2000s. Just when they were at the peak of their power, some random strong figure would appear and either kidnap their lover or forcibly take her away because, for some random reason, it turned out she was a descendant of an ancient, ultra-mega-powerful clan. The protagonist could do nothing to stop it and could only helplessly watch as his love was taken from him.
Oh, right. Usually, the random super-strong guy would want to kill the main character because he was too close to the person he wanted to take. However, the woman would use herself to save the main character and then leave with the powerful stranger who had come for her in the first place.
"Yang'er is my disciple. May I know what business the Lady Goddess has with him?" Luo Guxie asked, forcing a smile while trying her best not to scowl at Qianye Ying'er. At the same time, she transmitted a message to Yun Wuji, 'I will hold her off for as long as I can. Take Changsheng and run away.'
She was weaker than the other party and also had two burdens with her. Luo Guxie knew there was no way for her to force Qianye Ying'er to leave. Her only hope was to stall her and create enough time for both Yun Wuji and Luo Changsheng to escape.
"Stop talking nonsense. I’ll count to three. If you don’t hand him over, I’ll start by killing that trash son of yours," Qianye Ying’er ignored her question. Her eyes turned colder, and her voice grew indifferent, laced with chilling killing intent. She was already giving this woman face by only demanding that she hand over that hateful man.
If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want to cause a big commotion and also didn’t want to risk his life, she would have already made a move instead of speaking.
As for how she learned about their scandal, she had been in the Holy Eaves Realm the entire time, secretly watching the drama.
"You!" Luo Guxie's face turned pale. She hadn't expected this fucking bitch to show her such blatant disrespect! Even her father, the Brahma Monarch God Emperor, and the Eternal Heaven God Emperor had never spoken to her like this when she met them before!
‘It’s my time to act,’ Yun Wuji thought, seeing that the timing was right. He transmitted to Luo Guxie, ‘Master, I have an idea that can help you get out of this predicament.’
'Really?' Luo Guxie's eyes brightened, surprised by his words. Fei Yang had managed to escape from Qianye Ying'er before, so surely he could do the same again, right? She was so preoccupied with the thought that she didn't notice he had said "You" instead of "Us."
Yun Wuji gently removed her arm from around his waist. Because of what he had said, Luo Guxie didn’t resist and released her hold on him. After separating from her, Yun Wuji took a step forward and looked at Qianye Ying’er, saying, "Very well, I’ll go with you."
After he finished speaking, he flew toward her without giving Luo Guxie a chance to react or pull him back.
"Yang'er! What are you saying?" His sudden actions shocked both women and even the selectively ignored Luo Changsheng. Luo Guxie quickly snapped out of her shock and reached out, using her profound energy to pull him back.
"Hmph!" Qianye Ying’er snorted lightly, and the profound energy Luo Guxie released was completely dispersed. Without moving a single finger, Yun Wuji felt a binding force enveloping him and pulling him closer to her.
"Yang’er! Give me back my Yang’er!" Seeing this, Luo Guxie’s eyes turned scarlet red, and she roared in a frenzy.
‘Master, stop!’ Just as she was about to lunge at Qianye Ying’er like a madwoman, which she was. Yun Wuji’s voice transmitted to her, 'If you fight her, you won't win, and you’ll put Senior Brother’s life in danger as well. Please, take him and leave. Don’t worry about me; I’ll be safe.'
'No! How can I abandon you?!' Luo Guxie’s emotions surged again, but this time, she managed to calm herself. Yet, the thought of leaving him behind was unbearable. She had lost her first love once before, and now that she had finally found someone she cared for again, how could she allow the same thing to happen?
‘Please listen. Qianye Ying’er wants me because I know something she wants to know. As long as I’m of value to her, she won’t harm me. I have a good relationship with the Heavenly Slaughter Star God. Go and find her, she also hates Qianye Ying’er. She’ll definitely help you find a way to rescue me!’ Yun Wuji spoke earnestly, advising her not to be reckless. He also wanted to see if she could find Jasmine before he did.
Another goal for doing this was to make Luo Guxie feel more pain. Yes, he wanted her to feel the deep agony of losing him. Because only by losing something we cherish can we truly appreciate its value.
Only by losing him in such a way, where he "sacrificed" himself for her and her son’s safety, could she truly come to understand his value. This, in turn, would intensify her emotions. Only this way could he surpass Ning Danqing’s position in her heart. He was no longer satisfied with just being a substitute for her dead lover. He wanted to completely erase Ning Danqing’s shadow from her heart and make it entirely his own.
"Hmm, what? You’re not going to make a move? If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave," Qianye Ying’er glanced at Luo Guxie, who had frozen in place, and her lips curled into a mocking smirk. With her high cultivation, she could sense that Yun Wuji and Luo Guxie were communicating, she couldn't hear what they were saying, but she didn’t care about the content of their conversation either.
She was tempted to kill this woman and cut off all the roots of trouble, but their battle might kill Yun Wuji. Secondly, she wasn’t confident in killing Luo Guxie. For her, defeating a 9th-level Divine Master was easy, but killing one was exceedingly difficult. She will think about how to deal with her later when she returns to the Brahma Monarch God Realm.
"..." Luo Guxie gritted her teeth, her hand balling into a fist. Her nails dug deep into her flesh, causing blood to drip down.
'Leave now. Even if you don't care about your own safety, you should care about Senior Brother's,' Yun Wuji urged, sensing her hesitation. 'Senior Brother just went through a great ordeal. Are you really going to make him witness his mother's death as well?'
Naturally, he had another sinister motive for repeatedly mentioning his good 'Senior Brother' since earlier. He imagined the reaction Luo Guxie would have once she calmed down and realized that it was Luo Changsheng who had leaked his identity to the Brahma Monarch God Realm.
The person who had trusted them deeply, risking his safety and life for their sake, was betrayed by them.
Just imagine the guilt and self-hatred Luo Guxie would feel once she discovered it was her son who had leaked Yun Wuji's identity. It would be her fault for not keeping him in check. And considering the already fragile state of their relationship after the truth was exposed, how much more fractured would it become?
Perhaps their mother-son relationship would break completely?
If so, Yun Wuji would be extremely happy to see it.
Finally, under Yun Wuji’s reluctant gaze, Luo Guxie stood still, her blood-red eyes watching as Qianye Ying’er took him away, disappearing from her sight.
