"I'm sorry, but I still refuse!"
Although Jiang Yuan was somewhat taken aback, his answer remained unchanged.
Now that their positions are completely opposed, giving it to her would be aiding the enemy, something that would be condemned by the human race. He absolutely cannot do it lightly.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Bu Yao frowned slightly, her sword already aimed at Jiang Yuan's neck.
However, Jiang Yuan disregarded Bu Yao's threat and directly met her with his spear, knocking the Lady's Sword away. The two remained in a tense standoff.
"After all this time, I still don't understand you! If you had the ability to kill me, you wouldn't be wasting your breath on me here!" Jiang Yuan said casually, even though his statement about understanding was completely ironic.
Bu Yao was never a bloodthirsty person. Whether it was the first time he went to the Holy Spirit Clan's inheritance space or later when they had a relationship, she only made threats verbally and never actually killed anyone.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan wouldn't budge an inch, Bu Yao was at a loss. She sheathed her sword and turned to leave.
"etc!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly shouted, but regretted it as soon as he did. Why did he have to be so stupid as to call her back? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
"Why do you want the Dark Forest?" Jiang Yuan had already asked, so he might as well ask again to find out.
“I obtained the Dark Godhead on the Western Emperor Star. To forge a godhood, I need the Dark Forest. I originally planned to go to the Dark Abyss, but…” Bu Yao stopped and shook her head, “I was a step too late.”
"So, you want to take the Dark Forest from me to forge your godhood?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. This girl was too naive. What made her think that he would give her the Dark Forest to forge her godhood?
"If you're not going to give it to me, then don't pretend. I don't want to hear it." Bu Yao was very annoyed by Jiang Yuan's tone.
"No, is this how you ask for help?" Jiang Yuan became arrogant. Since this girl needed his help, she was completely at his mercy.
“I’ve always had this attitude, didn’t you know that?” Bu Yao retorted.
"OK!"
Jiang Yuan shrugged and then said, "The Dark Forest isn't of much use to me, but it's impossible for me to give it to you for free."
"What do you want?" Bu Yao turned around and looked at Jiang Yuan with a suspicious expression.
"readily."
Jiang Yuan revealed a look that suggested he was a promising student, and then made a condition: "I want the White Emperor Sword in Di Feng's possession."
"I refuse."
Bu Yao answered decisively.
Jiang Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he changed his tune, saying, "Then I want the head of the Emperor, at least as a pledge of allegiance, right?"
"If I kill Di Feng, will you give me the Dark Forest?" Bu Yao didn't believe Jiang Yuan's words.
"right."
Jiang Yuan gave an affirmative answer. He didn't ask for much, just to gradually change Bu Yao. Today she could kill her own kind for a treasure, so in the future she would betray the Holy Spirit Clan for him.
People change gradually. Although Jiang Yuan knew this was a despicable act, he believed that everyone should look out for themselves, and he could be despicable and shameless for the sake of his family's integrity.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's confident answer, Bu Yao hesitated. She could indeed kill Di Feng, and since life-and-death battles were common among cultivators, no one would suspect her even if Di Feng died, but...
"I refuse."
Bu Yao shook her head and rejected Jiang Yuan's suggestion. She said with a lively tone, "I know what you're thinking, but today I slaughtered my own kind, which is unjust and immoral. How will you and Xiao Xiao view me in the future?"
"Why is it considered unrighteous and immoral to kill one's own kind? I've grown up to the point where I have a lot of human blood on my hands. Do you see me as unrighteous and immoral?" Jiang Yuan retorted. He had even gone so far as to be hypocritical in order to change Bu Yao's stance.
"Pretend I was never here." Bu Yao turned and walked away, ignoring Jiang Yuan.
"That girl!"
Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly. He did hope that Bu Yao would betray the Holy Spirit Clan, but if that really happened, then Bu Yao wouldn't be Bu Yao anymore.
"Whenever you want the Dark Forest, come to Ancheng and find me. I'll give it to you after a month!"
Jiang Yuan didn't force her to complete any more tasks. Instead, he let her stay in the human safe zone for a month. Perhaps this experience would change her views on racial war.
Not all races are as aggressive as the Holy Spirits.
Bu Yao paused, but after standing there for a few seconds, she left without looking back.
As soon as Bu Yao left, Jiang Yuan knelt on the ground in pain. He was indestructible, but that didn't mean he wouldn't feel pain, especially the White Emperor Sword Song raging inside his body, which caused excruciating pain.
"Emperor Feng, I will surely kill you next time we meet!" Jiang Yuan said through gritted teeth.
He is currently only at the ninth level of the Profound God Realm, which is definitely a weakness. Therefore, the only way for him to improve his combat power is to work on his cultivation level.
However, just as he was trying to resolve the White Emperor Sword Song within his body, the sword wounds left by Bu Yao suddenly flared up, with almost black, foul blood flowing from every hole. In no time, his entire body was covered in a foul-smelling bloody mess.
"The White Emperor Sword Song is gone?"
Jiang Yuan was bewildered by the sudden situation within his body, because according to his estimation, the White Emperor Sword Song would deplete at least 90% of his blood energy, and the duration would not be less than a week.
But now, he has released the White Emperor Sword Song within his body without any warning?
An unexpected turn of events caused Jiang Yuan to focus his attention on the sword wounds on his body. The White Emperor Sword Song had just been released through the sword array formed by these wounds, all of which were left by Bu Yao.
"She really didn't come to kill me?" Jiang Yuan suddenly realized. "No wonder she held back three-tenths of her strength; she wanted to help me release the White Emperor Sword Song!"
