Chapter 3157: Self-Sacrifice (修)

the appearance of this mountain peak, a vortex gradually began to emerge from the void. This is the passageway to the Land of Falling Stars!The Land of Extinctions, a place where only the descendants...The mistress's words sent shivers down Xueqing's spine!

Actually, if she was truly the only one chosen by the so-called messenger, she wouldn't be afraid at all.

Because she had two masters.

Although she has never truly seen the power of her two masters, and her masters have never made a move, she believes that on this path through the heavens and earth, there should be no one who can rival her two masters.

Otherwise, Ginger Cloud wouldn't entrust herself to the two masters.

Even a master wouldn't just stand by and watch someone they care about in danger.

But even the most powerful master cannot save everyone at once.

If that were the case, the master would probably be exposed.

And once exposed, the consequences won't just affect those around him. It will implicate the entire Heavenly Palace, War Axe, Dao Wuming, and even Jiang Yun!

At this moment, Xueqing was truly helpless, completely at a loss as to what to do!

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's no big deal. I'll secretly promise him that when I meet the messenger, we will both die together!"

This is also the only way Xueqing could think of!

Even then, she wasn't prepared to tell her master about this matter or her own thoughts.

After all, if the master ever found out, he certainly wouldn't allow himself to be in danger. He might even have the messenger killed.

But the envoy is from the Eight Heavenly Domains of the Celestial Realm. If he were to be killed, the Eight Heavenly Domains would inevitably send people to investigate at that time.

Once they find me, the two masters will definitely not stand idly by. At that time, they will still be implicated.

Only he, taking advantage of the time when his masters had not yet discovered it, should go with that messenger to meet their end.

I myself certainly wouldn't be able to kill him. At that time, my master would step in. As long as I die, even if the Zhutian Jidu faction sends people to investigate, they wouldn't implicate my master and the others!

Just as Xueqing was about to agree to Quezhu's proposal, Quezhu's voice spoke first: "Alright then, I'll give you some more time to think it over!"

After uttering those words, the voice of the one who addressed him fell silent.

And Xueqing stood there as if she had lost her soul, motionless.

On the side, Qin Xiaqi noticed Xueqing's abnormality and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you"

Qin Xiaqi's words, naturally, caused everyone to turn their attention to Xueqing. Each person's face was filled with concern.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Xueqing really wanted to tell everyone what Que Zhu had said, but she also knew that if she really did say it out loud, even if people were willing to die, they would absolutely not let her take risks.

“It's nothing!”

Xue Qing took a deep breath, forcing a faint smile onto her face. "I was just feeling a little uneasy earlier. I worried that Jiang Yun might be in danger."

Hearing Xueqing's fabricated reason, the crowd didn't doubt it.

Hai Changsheng smiled faintly: "Don't worry, that kid won't die!"

"That's right!" Qin Xiaqi also smiled and said, "Brother Jiang is amazing! This Sky-Tearing Ancient Path is nothing to him!"

"Well then!" Xueqing nodded. "I apologize for the delay. Now, let's find a place to rest first."

Xueqing intentionally changed the subject, and everyone else was afraid that if they continued discussing this topic, Xueqing would be even more worried about Jiangyun's safety, so they naturally followed suit and changed the subject.

Thus, the group of people walked along the ancient path called "Competing Heaven Road" beneath their feet, wandering through this city.

Meanwhile, Que Zhu also returned to the main hall and walked straight to Long Shaowen's side, whispering a few words to him through telepathy.

Now, the reflection in the mirror did not show the figures of Xueqing and the others, and Yu Ji also didn't know what the Sovereign had just said to Xueqing and Xiaohua.

But seeing the lustful look on Long Shaowen's face growing stronger and nodding repeatedly, her heart sank.

Obviously, the women who were favored by Long Shaowen should have agreed to his request, which is why he is so happy.

Others agreed, even Xiao He would have agreed without much surprise, but she really didn't expect Xue Qing to agree to Long Shao Wen's rude request.

Although Yu Ji doesn't know much about Xue Qing, since Xue Qing's Dao companion is widely loved and respected by people, she can tell that Xue Qing, as a person who belongs to this group, wouldn't be someone frivolous and superficial, nor would she be cowardly.

Logically speaking, Xueqing would never agree to this!

However, upon further thought, Yu Ji guessed: "I'm afraid the Sovereign is using the safety of those around Xue Qing to coerce her into agreeing!"

"If that's really the case, then Xueqing's promise was false. When she's actually brought to Long Shaowen's side, she'll definitely find a way to assassinate him!"

"If Xueqing were to die, then all hope for me and the sect would be lost!"

Yu Ji pondered for a long time before saying, "Alright then, after Young Master Long leaves, I'll go find Xue Qing."

"Just tell her I want to recruit her. If she agrees, no matter what, I'll find a way to save her!"

Although Yu Ji knew her actions were dangerous, if she didn't take a risk, she would eventually become Dong Chengji's plaything anyway. It was better to gamble with her life!

Now, Yu Ji only hopes that Long Shaowen can leave the hall quickly so she has a chance to take risks.

Finally, after half an hour had passed, Long Shaowen stood up, a smile on his face, and raised his cup to everyone: "Everyone, I have something to attend to, so I'll excuse myself."

"The day after tomorrow, I will open the final challenge. See you then!"

Seeing Long Shaowen's smile, everyone understood in their hearts that he must have set his sights on several women. Some of them had already been sent to his residence, so he couldn't wait to leave.

Although everyone understood, no one would point it out. One by one they stood up and said, "Farewell to the envoy!"

"Haha, do whatever you want!"

When Long Shao Wen left, Yu Ji also quietly stood up and left the hall. Dong was unable to directly intervene, he remained unaffected by the conflict as his divine sense could still operate freely. This allowed him to observe the entire battlefield like an outsider, clea...
