A tall shadow appeared behind Xie Yin like a ghost, and then he reached out and put his hand on Xie Yin's shoulder.
Xie Yin was completely unaware of what was happening when, in the next moment, he was struck unconscious by a palm strike and collapsed to the ground.
"Who are you?"
Xi Xingxue retreated defensively, her calf muscles tensing, ready to run away at any moment.
Qi Jinzhao smiled at him, and the next second, a bright white light flashed, and he took two steps, but then seemed to appear in a flash, directly in front of Xi Xingxue.
Xi Xingxue immediately lifted his heels, about to run away, but a hand grabbed his waist like an iron clamp.
Immediately afterwards, his wrists were quickly pressed down. The other person was very strong and could hold both of his hands with one hand, making it impossible for him to break free.
Through the hazy night, Qi Jinzhao's shadow entered Xi Xingxue's slightly dilated pupils.
His face was still handsome, but his eyes were dark and shrouded in a sinister light, yet Xi Xingxue knew it.
The sorrow of today is not the same sorrow of yesterday.
really.
The next second, he lowered his head and brought his lips close to his ear.
"Master, why did you lie to us? Why?"
A simple question, yet it felt like a thousand-pound boulder had crushed Xi Xingxue's heart, plunging her into despair.
Every hair on his body stood on end, and goosebumps rose on his arms. For a long while, his thoughts were frozen, and he was unable to do anything to deal with this terrifying answer.
Qi Jinzhao looked at his dazed expression and a faint smile appeared on his lips. His expression was calm, yet also crazy. Intimate words, like lovers' whispers, brushed against his earlobe.
"Were you scared?"
Xi Xingxue remained silent. He wanted to ask the system for clarification, but then, unbelievably,
His system disappeared.
No matter how he called out to the system in his mind, the system did not respond at all, as if it did not exist.
Qi Jinzhao stared into Xi Xingxue's eyes for a while, then said gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to take you home. I won't hurt you."
Under his gaze, Xi Xingxue knew that she probably couldn't escape for the time being.
He calmed down, looked up at him, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids.
"Which home to go back to?"
He smiled, a restrained smile, his voice low and deep: "Home is where Master is."
Xi Xingxue tentatively suggested, "Then you can stay here."
He said this because he sensed that the rebellious disciple in front of him was likely going to lead him away.
He said that the reason why Qi Jinzhao kept asking him if he liked this world was probably because everything tonight was a setup by him.
There must be something in that side hall that can separate him from this world.
As for why he could guess that the person in front of him was his traitorous disciple, the answer is simple.
He must have cultivated himself into a god and gained the ability to traverse the void.
To gain the ability to shatter the void, one must be supreme, unique, and at the pinnacle of power.
Xi Xingxue really wanted to know how he had become the pinnacle of that world so quickly.
After all, the time I've spent traveling between these two worlds is probably only seventy or eighty years.
He lived with Shen Yu and the others in the previous world until he died in his seventies or eighties.
However, there is also the possibility that time flows differently in these worlds...
After Xi Xingxue said that she wanted the traitor to stay, the traitor remained silent for a while before speaking.
"You want to stay and keep them company, right?"
Xi Xingxue said, "If I leave here with you, I will die."
Failure to complete the mission will result in zero points, a period of unconsciousness, and is essentially the same as death.
"You'll die?" His tone changed. Although he desperately wanted to take Xi Xingxue away, he ultimately cared about her safety.
"So, it's been controlling you from behind all this time?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Xingxue felt the goosebumps that had finally subsided on her body rise again.
"Xie Jiuchuan, what else do you know?"
Xie Jiuchuan was stunned for a moment, then his first reaction was joy. His thin lips curved into a smile, and his expression resembled that of a cat that had just snatched the only fish.
"You know I am Jiuchuan?"
Xi Xingxue said helplessly, "I remember everyone very clearly, so I won't mix them up. Let go of my hand first, and I won't run away."
Xi Xingxue also understood Xie Jiuchuan's personality very well. Because of his bloodline, he had a bit of arrogance in his bones, but he was also calm and composed enough. He didn't show his true feelings and would think through all his thoughts before taking the next step.
In short, he can adopt a completely "negotiating" stance and say these things to Xie Jiuchuan, and he believes that Xie Jiuchuan will understand and agree.
However, Xi Xingxue ultimately miscalculated Xie Jiuchuan's current changes.
Because he didn't come alone; he came on the foundation of He Yan and Yin Yue's lives.
He released his hand, but also gripped Xi Xingxue's wrist. "Master, don't worry, I'm very strong now. I've temporarily blocked that thing. Tell me all your questions, and I can help you deal with it."
His voice was nonchalant, as if a system were a minor monster that he could easily defeat.
Xi Xingxue thought it was defying the heavens.
Because the system is incomparable to these people, as it is a creation of the true ruler of the three thousand worlds.
No matter how powerful these people are, even if they cultivate to become gods, they are still just figures in the palm of the ruler of the three thousand worlds. Can they deal with the system under the ruler's control?
He took a deep breath, fearing that once the system "woke up," it would report to its superiors, who would then discover Xie Jiuchuan, a figure outside the world's control, and destroy him.
