Chapter 79 Long Tian (2)

"I was wrong before. After all, we still have to have a peaceful dialogue, right? You should be able to sense my strength. I can't defeat you." Long Tian showed further weakness. He was also observing Yu Linghe.

It would be fine if Yu Linghe was someone who was easily led by others, or was naive, but the worst-case scenario was that he really had to fight her. Although he would feel great in that case, there was a high probability that they would both perish. Then he would not be able to complete what he wanted to do.

Moreover, he was somewhat concerned about the soul beside Yu Linghe. Long Tian had already entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage. He had entered the Dao through his soul, but he could not clearly sense the true form of that soul, as if some law of heaven and earth blocked his prying eyes.

Yu Linghe was indeed hesitating, but her hesitation was not in the same direction as Long Tian's.

"That's too suspicious."

She looked insane, and her actions were insane enough that it was hard not to suspect she was stalling because she realized her own strength was beyond imagination. Yu Linghe wasn't one for meticulous planning; she had already advocated for the swift destruction of the Myriad Souls Sect, even when the Myriad Souls Sect members expressed their opinions to her without hesitation.

Even if they saved their clansmen, Long Tian and the Wanhun Sect would still be a grave threat to the Yu Clan. Better to let Long Tian resurrect the clansmen before killing him. Born with strength, she made this judgment.

"If you want me to trust you, you must first tell me how to resurrect the dead. If you can bring all my people back to life, I will let you go."

Long Tian smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "Yes. Elder Mingdu can snatch souls from the Styx. Therefore, as long as the captured souls have not begun reincarnation, they are not considered dead in the strict sense. I can ask Elder Mingdu to judge them as human, but not now."

"If you revive your people now, won't we be of any use? Why don't you sit down and relax and talk?"

While Yu Linghe frowned and thought, Luo Xuanyi, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"Linghe, wouldn't it be better to kill Long Tian?"

Long Tian's eyelids jumped in surprise at this. Luo Xuanyi noticed that Long Tian could indeed hear her voice, which was exactly what she wanted: "Kill Long Tian and see if that old man Mingdu can resurrect him. If he can be resurrected, then what he said is true, and there is no harm in talking to him again. If he is just trying to fool people, then kill him as a memorial for the tribe."

"If Long Tian wants to escape death through Elder Mingdu's methods, we can also use your 'Afterlife Method' to send him directly into reincarnation. We don't need to worry about him denying it."

Luo Xuanyi's first thought upon seeing Long Tian was murder. He was dangerous. If Luo Xuanyi were in a situation like Yu Linghe, she would absolutely kill him to eliminate the danger, even if he could help her. Listening to such people only increased the risk.

Judging from his attitude towards Yu Linghe, this clever man must have assessed the strength of both sides and decided to negotiate or delay the conflict, which indirectly demonstrated Yu Linghe's current strength advantage. However, this advantage was fleeting. Yu Linghe's health was deteriorating, and if he didn't act now, there might not be another such opportunity later.

However, if Yu Linghe were to kill Long Tian directly, she would definitely hesitate due to the matter of her clansmen. Since it was difficult to determine the truth at the moment, it would be better to take advantage of this matter while they hadn't come up with other solutions!

Yu Linghe nodded thoughtfully. As her mind moved, invisible sword energy instantly slashed across a hundred miles! The wave-like force of the sword easily flattened the area where Long Tian stood, even the air itself being sliced apart. After a pause, two gusts of wind swirled, attempting to encircle Long Tian before tearing him apart and dispersing him!

But Long Tian, standing there, waved his hand effortlessly. Following his movement, a massive stone door slowly took shape behind him. The door seemed half-finished, sometimes appearing and disappearing. Countless chains entangled the door, holding it open only a crack.

The gap was enough. Whether it was the fierce wind or the sword intent, they were all sucked into the gap and disappeared. In Luo Xuanyi's opinion, it was more like wiping out the fierce wind and sword intent themselves than sucking them in.

There was nothing to be seen in that gap, nothing at all. But a strange feeling was spreading wildly in my heart.

The sky darkened, and dark clouds quickly piled up above the stone gate as if the flow of time had been accelerated. Dragon-shaped lightning rumbled and exploded, ready to move.

Long Tian sighed, and the stone door, driven by the tightened chain, slowly and heavily closed. The moment the stone door closed, the thunder and lightning clouds suddenly dissipated, as if they had never appeared.

Luo Xuanyi couldn't help but recall the scene of the immortal pill's tribulation. The immortal pill's tribulation was due to its ascension, and the mortal world couldn't accommodate it. So what about that stone door? And the stone door gave her a sense of déjà vu. She touched the stone slab on her back.

Long Tian felt his blood clamoring for battle. He had originally believed that he would achieve enlightenment through fighting. Before finding his new target, Sky Slayer, he had deliberately provoked countless wars. In reality, Sky Slayer was merely a further step in his journey, a more exciting war.

For now, he still relied on his strong self-control to choose to close the stone door. Now is not the time.

"Wait, Master Yu Dao, as long as I can prove there's another way, there's no need for us to fight to the death, right?"

He discovered it. Luo Xuanyi was a little annoyed, but she chose not to intervene. After all, this was Yu Linghe's business, and she thought of the ancient alchemist affiliated with the Wanhun Sect, perhaps this was inevitable.

Furthermore, she also realized that Long Tian's strength was likely to result in a loss for both sides. The Jade Spirit Crane's inability to move was extremely inconvenient for Luo Xuanyi, as she still had many things she wanted to investigate.

Yu Linghe caught a glimpse of Luo Xuanyi's silent expression, then looked at Long Tian, and finally stopped: "How do you prove it?"

Long Tian also noticed that of the two, Yu Linghe was more straightforward about his goals, while Luo Xuanyi was more scheming. Ultimately, it was Yu Linghe who made the move. He tried to be as direct as possible: "Isn't that the soul of your people in your arms? I can resurrect some of them first. That would be great."

"Then how do you prove that you didn't know any tricks? What if you buried a hidden bomb?" Yu Linghe still preferred Luo Xuanyi's solution, and her hands began to stir again.

"You can use the Tao to foresee their future, right? This way you can know."

Long Tian's words choked Yu Linghe. He didn't know that Yu Linghe had already weakened prematurely, unable to easily use his foresight to foresee so far into the future, and could only use it sparingly in combat. But bluffing him like this would convince him that any trickery was futile. Luo Xuanyi winked, signaling Yu Linghe's agreement.

"From your expression, I can tell you agree. Then let's find a place for Elder Mingdu to come. This mountain range is completely destroyed."

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what should I call the fellow Daoist next to you, Yu Daozu?"

Luo Xuanyi glanced at him and replied, "Just call me Third Sister."

Sister Yi was afraid that Long Tian would curse her, so she didn't even want to say the word "Yi".

PS: I might change the title and introduction later, so I’ll just give you a preview while I think about how to change it.
