Chapter 2141 - 2137: I Will Kill You
In a do-or-die situation, Li Zhaojun felt that she had almost no chance of defeating Ming Ye Shangren.
Before her, Ming Ye Shangren’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. This was no longer the Ming Ye Shangren she knew of before; the person in front of her was exceedingly dangerous.
Li Zhaojun felt a tinge of sorrow, even thinking she might meet her end here when suddenly Ming Ye Shangren’s body vanished in an instant, a sudden change that caught Li Zhaojun by surprise.
"Hmm?" Li Zhaojun appeared very surprised. She had no idea what was happening. In her eyes, Ming Ye Shangren should have been merciless before killing her, so why did he suddenly disappear?
"Sister?" Min Shang was also prepared to fight alongside Li Zhaojun and even knew that the chances of winning this battle were very slim. The battle had already tilted one-sidedly before it even began, leaving Li Zhaojun at a loss on how to face it. Min Shang, too, was somewhat at a loss, and just then, Ming Ye Shangren disappeared?
Li Zhaojun did not let down her guard; she was still vigilant about the energy changes around her. She needed to find the remnants of Ming Ye Shangren’s power.
"Don’t relax, she might merely be hiding and could attack us again at any moment!"
While speaking, Li Zhaojun was focusing all her attention on the cracks in the surrounding space, fearing that Ming Ye Shangren might suddenly return for the kill. However, after a long time without a trace of Ming Ye Shangren, she confirmed that he really seemed to have left.
"Li Zhaojun, what exactly is happening now?" Zhao Lina approached angrily, furiously asking, "Who was that woman earlier? What is your relationship with her?"
Li Zhaojun said, "There are some things I can’t explain to you, but please believe me, no matter what happens, I won’t cause any harm to you. It was just an accident!"
"I don’t think it’s an accident; you deliberately brought her here!" Zhao Lina was still very angry, "She said she was some sort of ancestor of yours; can I understand that you two were colluding? Maybe she is your behind-the-scenes planner. Even if you think you’re acting with goodwill, you may be being used without knowing it."
Min Shang was a bit anxious and said, "Don’t wrong my sister like that. She is entirely unaware of the situation; that woman is purely treacherous. She once imprisoned my sister and me, and we only broke out of the prison through our own efforts. How could we collaborate with her?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Lina snorted, saying nothing more. In actuality, she was inclined to believe Min Shang. As for Li Zhaojun, because they were love rivals, this matter was less credible to her.
Li Zhaojun waved her hand and said, "Though what just happened was quite unsettling, we can only continue now. The third wave of the heavenly tribulation should still be ongoing, and we must ensure Earth’s peace, without being hindered by recent events!"
"With so many things happening, how are we in any mood to build the array?" Zhao Lina seemed very willful; she appeared not to want to cooperate with Li Zhaojun anymore. However, the truth showed that among the women present, except for her, they all seemed to have no hostility towards Li Zhaojun and seemed quite willing to continue collaborating with her.
Even if Zhao Lina was displeased, she could only adjust her mood and proceed to construct the array.
...
...
Ming Ye Shangren’s departure was not voluntary; instead, she was forcibly pulled away.
After being dragged away, Ming Ye Shangren found herself in a mysterious part of the cosmos, still harboring great resentment. She wanted to kill Li Zhaojun, even seeking revenge against Ye Fan for "betraying" her, and she saw no obstacle to this.
"Why? Why are you stopping me? Are you in league with Li Zhaojun and Ye Fan? Is your intention to collaborate with them and simply use me?" Ming Ye Shangren was very angry; the shadow that once used her is now stopping her from killing Li Zhaojun.
A shadow suddenly appeared, this shadow being none other than a lost soul of Nuwa’s, representing the darkest side of Nuwa’s heart, Nuwa’s resentment.
The shadow said, "You are too naive, thinking that going like this will kill Li Zhaojun, causing Ye Fan to hate you, achieve your revenge against Ye Fan? You are wrong. The best way to take revenge on Ye Fan is not by alerting him; don’t you know Ye Fan has planted many protective and investigative powers in these women?"
"So what? Ye Fan is now gone; why should I care about his women?" Ming Ye Shangren retorted angrily.
"A person who accomplishes great things must understand patience, which is the reason many people ultimately don’t succeed!" Ming Ye Shangren said, "Ye Fan’s greatest ability isn’t his cultivation progress but his determined heart. Once his goals are set, he won’t change them, and that’s what’s intimidating. Even Pan Gu and Fu Xi don’t have such steadfast will!"
Ming Ye Shangren sneered, "You are Nuwa’s shadow? How do I feel like you’re simply a puppet? I feel like I’ve been deceived!"
The shadow said, "Now, Ye Fan has absorbed a vast amount of power from the heavenly tribulation. Ye Fan has now become one of the few high-cultivation individuals in the universe. Even Pan Gu and Fu Xi are no longer his match. But Ye Fan has also paid a price, that being although his cultivation has increased, his memory is sealed, and now he doesn’t remember who he is. If you harm the people by Ye Fan’s side, stirring the protective aura within him, there’s a high chance he may remember past events, which is why I stopped you!"
"You stopped me just because of this?" Ming Ye Shangren frowned.
"Not solely for that reason; I also wish to use Ye Fan. This is what the entire cultivation world wants to see because the current Ye Fan still has value for usage, needed to alter the course of the Pan Gu secret realm and the cultivation world to save the heavenly tribulation... Making him recall past events now is entirely unnecessary!" the shadow reiterated.
Ming Ye Shangren said, "Why? Why can’t I take revenge on him now?"
"I have used many people; it’s not just you. Remember, you are merely a chess piece in my hand. You must follow my commands. If you don’t, you can forget about receiving my support. Consider this a lesson for you, and if there is a next time, I will kill you directly!" the shadow threatened.
