Wang Kun hesitated, glancing at the Supreme Elder behind him.
The latter immediately transmitted his voice, "Young Master, do not easily make an enemy of Li Taibai. I see that he is acting normally, and I'm afraid he still has a backup plan. Besides, we have already lost eight hundred people, and we really cannot afford to lose any more. If we lose any more, we will not be able to compete for the opportunities that follow."
"Understood!"
Wang Kun nodded. He didn't want to be enemies with Li Bai either, not because he was on Li Bai's side, but because he was afraid.
Once you make a move, there's no turning back.
After all, so many people from the five sects had died before, all of them killed by Li Taibai.
Wang Kun didn't want to die.
Thinking of this, Wang Kun turned to Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, I have a prior agreement with Military Advisor Taibai, so I will not make a move."
"Besides, my junior sister Xi'er is still climbing the Tower of Babel. If we join forces with you, I'm afraid it will endanger her life!"
Wang Kun wanted to pursue Qiao Xi'er, but he only lusted after her body.
At a time like this, he wouldn't consider Qiao Xi'er's safety.
But we still have to put on a show.
He made others think that he had no choice but to make this decision for the sake of his fellow disciples.
This could salvage some of the damaged reputation and image.
Ye Chen was immediately displeased and said, "Wang Kun, so you're actually a coward who's afraid of death. You've disappointed me greatly."
Wang Kun angrily retorted, "Even if I fall, it's because I have no choice!"
"Hmph!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, not believing for a second that he was powerless to do anything.
He said coldly, "It's the same even without the help of the Spirit Control Sect. With the power I have, and the Heavenly Sword Sect, we are more than capable of killing Li Taibai!"
After saying that, he looked in Gu Jian's direction and said, "Li Taibai, send out your demon army and fight to the death!"
Gu Jian shook his head and said, "What's the rush? Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait for what?"
Ye Chen was taken aback, then sneered, "Could it be that you want to wait until the Nine-Lives Fox Demon and the Chaos Saint Demon defeat the Heavenly Saint Demon? But let me tell you, that's impossible!"
"The Heavenly Saint Demon is powerful, even stronger than the Nine-Lives Fox Demon and the Chaos Saint Demon combined. Even if we can't defeat them together for the time being, it's more than enough to hold them off."
Gu Jian smiled.
Ye Chen is far too arrogant.
If the original Heavenly Saint Demon had this ability.
But that's certainly not the case now.
The reason is that those who have signed a Celestial-level contract with him, whether it's the Nine-Lives Fox Demon or the Chaos Saint Demon, are far stronger than before.
But Gu Jian wouldn't tell any of this.
Gu Jian had no intention of asking the Nine-Lives Fox Demon or the Chaos Saint Demon for help.
On the demon chariot, he held Feng Yantong's slender waist, his expression mocking, and said, "Ye Chen, you are too arrogant. This is not what I've been waiting for."
"What is that?" Ye Chen pressed.
Gu Jian said, "Naturally, I'm waiting for them. Once they awaken their sacred bodies, I'll send you on your way."
What?
Ye Chen was taken aback and looked up at the Heavenly Ladder, where the Flower Fairy Commander Hua Mudan, Rabbit Xiaowu, and Qiao Xi'er were.
Realizing the intention of the person in front of him, Ye Chen opened his eyes wide.
He actually wanted to wait for them to finish climbing the Heavenly Ladder.
This demonic cultivator was actually thinking of them?
wrong!
Ye Chen quickly dismissed the idea.
How could a demonic cultivator possibly care about others?
This evil demonic cultivator must be after women.
He wanted to make the three women think he cared about them, thus winning their hearts!
Then they were added to the harem!
Even at this point, Li Bai was still thinking about such things.
This shows that he didn't take him seriously at all.
After all, if a person knows they are going to die, why would they think about these things?
Ye Chen was so angry that his body trembled.
He desperately wanted to refuse and never give him that chance.
But upon further reflection, doing so would contradict the noble image I had cultivated—
Moreover, even a demonic cultivator has to stop and wait for others to complete their holy body awakening.
He is a righteous person, yet he wants to destroy all of this, and one of the people involved is a disciple of the Spirit Control Sect.
Wouldn't that make me the villain?
As the ninth generation of demon-sealing master.
Ye Chen considered himself a legendary chosen one.
They are people protected by Heaven.
He's not a villain.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen said coldly, "Li Taibai, it's surprising that you would show such tenderness towards a beautiful woman."
"Since you want to wait, then so be it. I also want to see what kind of sacred body they can awaken."
"That's perfect."
Gu Jian smiled slightly and took a bite of the grape that Feng Yantong had fed him.
He wasn't showing any chivalry or trying to seduce anyone.
However, Tu Xiaowu had signed a contract with him and was his private property.
Private property must not be infringed.
Qiao Xi'er is his best friend.
In her past life, she was so good to him and trusted him so much.
Although Gu Jian has entered the demonic path, he is not without principles, nor will he abandon everything.
She deserves this reward.
As for the peony.
It's entirely thanks to the former two.
The imminent battle was briefly halted by Gu Jian's words.
Gu Jian was still giving orders, causing the Nine-Lives Demon Fox and the Chaos Saint Demon to fight further and further apart.
So as not to interfere with the three people climbing the Heavenly Ladder.
On the Heavenly Ladder, the peony has already climbed the eightieth step.
She also heard the sounds from the sky.
Just like Ye Chen thought.
Hua Mudan believed that Gu Jian had temporarily stopped fighting out of pity for the woman.
"Does this guy even consider my feelings?"
"Damn it, why am I feeling a little touched?"
"He's nothing but a lecherous demonic cultivator, while I am the noble Peony Demon!"
