Murong Zhi remained unhurried, showing no regard for Xiao Yuhan within the Heavenly Demon Abyss. "No rush, let's talk slowly. We have to wait for someone anyway. If she doesn't come, we won't be able to settle things."
"Is that so? Actually, you just wanted her to break the seal for you, but she won't come."
"Really? I'll help her. Xiao Yuhan, do you know why you were able to get here?"
"I came because I wanted to."
"You think you can avoid my eyes with just one Demon-Breaking Pill on your body? If you can come, it means I allow you to come. Similarly, whether Bai Yao wants to come or not, I can arrange for someone to guide her here."
"I don't believe you can have such extraordinary connections."
Murong Zhi didn't take it to heart. "Alright, let's stop talking about this, it's pointless. Let's talk about something else. Where are you from? How did you end up here?"
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. "I don't remember. Your subordinates gave me a lot of trouble. I've lived through just as many years as you have, and all of that... was just an illusion."
"Actually, I'm quite surprised that you were able to escape the River of No Return. Could it be because you are a transmigrator, so the illusion is just a game to you?"
"Perhaps it's Murong Zhi's protagonist aura taking effect?"
"Heh, Xiao Yuhan, aren't you even a little curious about what I want to do? Don't all novels and TV dramas have to spout a bunch of nonsense when they get to the final boss battle? Don't you have a single pointless word to say? Maybe you can win me over with your verbal skills?"
Xiao Yuhan smiled helplessly, "You've got me all stumped, Yu Hui. Who exactly are you? And what are you planning to do?"
"You haven't heard of my name? Yu Hui, if you had searched for my name online before, you would definitely have been able to find it."
"Oh? Why should I search online? To be honest, I've never heard of the name Yu Hui before."
Murong Zhi looked very disappointed. "Aren't you a reader of 'Eternal Empress'? Haven't you read the plot at all?"
"Oh? You're not the author, are you? This setting is a bit lousy, sister. Come to think of it, we're from the same hometown, but I don't care about these things. Don't try to play the emotional card with me just to stall for time."
"Do you really need to? You really think you're the main character? You think you can kill me inside the Heavenly Demon Abyss? Don't pretend, or you'll get struck by lightning."
Xiao Yuhan gave a few bitter laughs. At this moment, he still couldn't figure out Yu Hui's intentions. If it was just about killing Murong Zhi, it wouldn't be too difficult. But if he couldn't find Yu Hui's true form, his sword strike would be useless. The memory information Jiang Yining gave him did provide a few possible locations.
Unable to be certain, he casually took out a talisman and left a divine sense on it, instructing the talisman to search for Yu Hui's true form while he stayed behind to stall for time with Yu Hui.
"I'm not the protagonist at all, especially after coming to this world. I've found that everyone else seems more like the protagonist than me. My senior brother, the sect leader, was exceptionally talented, but he was all alone and died a tragic death. If he had the protagonist's halo, he might be a protagonist who constantly turns the tide in adversity. My senior brother, Liu Jiantang, entered the sword path at a young age. In terms of both opportunities and strength, he seems more like the protagonist. Bai Yao goes without saying; she is the female lead. Only I am greedy for comfort and only want to have a decent status and strength without doing anything every day. To be honest, I'd rather be a spectator. But then I thought, isn't it a protagonist's opportunity for me to face you, the big boss, today? If I accidentally kill you, my position as the protagonist will be secure."
Hearing this, Murong Zhi suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha... This is interesting, Xiao Yuhan. If only you had agreed to join forces with me back then in Miao Jiang, I would have given you the protagonist you wanted. If you want Ye Qingyun to live, that's fine too. No one you care about will die."
"Yu Hui, you're putting me in a difficult position. If you had helped me get rid of the system in my body back then, I would have followed you without hesitation. But that damn system won't give me a way out."
"Oh? Is that so? What about today? What if I give you another chance..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yuhan immediately interrupted, "No need! My senior brother is dead. If I, as his junior brother, were to become a traitor now, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
