Whether from the perspective of Emperor Xuan Cang or as a time traveler, Jiang Zhige had no reason to let Mo Ziyan die for him.
Hearing this, Mo Ziyan suddenly smiled and shook her head, saying, "Senior, I wonder if there are any necessary questions."
Jiang Zhige wanted to say something, but Mo Ziyan asked, "Speaking of which, Senior, you and I don't know each other, so why are you trying to persuade me to go back?"
Jiang Zhige's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Mo Ziyan secretly to make sure that he was not recognized.
Jiang Zhige immediately pretended to be nonchalant and said calmly: "You are the contemporary genius of the Heaven Realm, and you have the Heaven-stealing Saint Body that is expected to become an emperor. In a hundred years, we may have to rely on you young people to resist the three Demon Emperors."
Mo Ziyan looked puzzled, feeling that this reason was a bit far-fetched.
But she didn't think much about it. Perhaps this is what makes Jiang Zhige special.
"If we go any further, I don't have the confidence to survive. If you get into trouble, don't expect me to save you."
Jiang Zhige did not lie. With his current strength, even if he played all his cards, it would be difficult to save Mo Ziyan.
Besides, Jiang Zhige cannot use many of his methods in person, otherwise Mo Ziyan will recognize them at a glance.
"Senior, please don't underestimate me. I'm still thinking about how to repay your kindness."
Mo Ziyan shook her head. After all, she was at the peak of the Profound Realm with the Heaven-Stealing Saint Body. Her combat power at her peak state was no less than that of a Half-Emperor.
Even if she was defeated, the only thing she would suffer would be death. Since she was already prepared to die, what was there to be afraid of?
Jiang Zhige had no choice but to follow her deep into the wilderness.
After that, whenever Mo Ziyan encountered dangers or strange beasts on the way, she would rush to solve them to avoid asking Jiang Zhige for help.
On the seventh day, seeing that Mo Ziyan had no intention of leaving, Jiang Zhige could no longer bear it and asked coldly, "Miss Mo, do you really think there is a way to revive Emperor Xuan Cang here?"
The two of them seemed to have a safe journey, but in fact, it was because he secretly solved most of the troubles that Mo Ziyan was able to get here without much effort.
"Maybe, maybe not."
Mo Ziyan still maintained an indifferent attitude, and it was obvious that he wanted to sacrifice his own life.
"I'm still counting on someone like you to save the heavens. You're such a hopeless fool!!"
"If you meet Emperor Xuan Cang after you die, will he be more moved or blame himself more?"
"You think you're dying for love, but that can't make up for your mistakes. It's just to impress yourself!"
Jiang Zhige's cold voice was full of disappointment as he flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Mo Ziyan's heart trembled. She also understood that she had already betrayed her teacher and ancestors, and going to death one-sidedly would only make people more disgusted.
However, she had no other way to go. She had long wanted to die with Jiang Zhige in the Zhengyang Temple. She had thought over and over again before choosing this way to end her life.
"Senior! Are you leaving now?"
"Being with you will only ruin my mood!"
Jiang Zhige snorted coldly, looking as if he was going to let Mo Ziyan die.
When Jiang Zhige's back disappeared, Mo Ziyan sighed softly and stood there in silence for a long time.
She did not leave with them, but turned around and continued to go deeper into the wilderness.
Jiang Zhige, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly felt helpless. He wanted to scold Mo Ziyan to wake her up, but he didn't expect that she would still insist on her own way.
In fact, after Jiang Zhige left, Mo Ziyan not only had no intention of leaving, but instead sped up her pace.
She wanted to die, she wanted to die very much, she couldn't wait any longer.
Guilt, regret, grief, sorrow, all kinds of emotions were tormenting Mo Ziyan all the time, and she only wanted to die to get rid of it.
If Mo Ziyan just wanted to die to atone for her sins, or just wanted to die for love, then Jiang Zhige's words just now could indeed make her realize something.
However, after Jiang Zhige's death, Mo Ziyan completely collapsed and felt that the world had become dark and worthless.
She knew that her death could not atone for her sins, and she also knew that she was not qualified to die for love, but in a world without Jiang Zhige, what was the point of staying? She never wanted to impress anyone, but just wanted to find a legitimate excuse to die quickly, to free herself, to get out of the sea of suffering.
Not long after they walked away, the space around them began to distort, and a ferocious beast with nine heads and covered in yellow scales poked its head out of the void.
Jiang Zhige's heart sank slightly. This was a unique ferocious beast that was born in the wilderness. It was a terrifying existence equivalent to the fourth rotation of the Heavenly Wheel, and it was called the Nine-headed Desert Dragon.
The Nine-headed Desert Dragon loves to devour human cultivators with high cultivation levels. When it saw Mo Ziyan coming, it became excited and violent, and couldn't wait to devour her.
Mo Ziyan, who was moving at full speed, stopped. She looked at the Nine-headed Desert Dragon breathlessly. It seemed that she was too lazy to even offer a symbolic resistance and was ready to just stand there stupidly and become food in the Nine-headed Desert Dragon's stomach.
Jiang Zhige felt helpless and could only stand in front of Mo Ziyan.
"senior?"
Mo Ziyan was a little confused. Why did Jiang Zhige suddenly come back? "You are lucky to have met me."
Jiang Zhige looked indifferent, as if he had never said the previous words. He stood with his hands behind his back and confronted Jiulong Molong.
Now Jiang Zhige's origin is incomplete, and he cannot use magic methods. It is really difficult to deal with an existence of this level.
"Senior, who are you?"
Mo Ziyan had a complicated expression. Although she didn't know Jiang Zhige's identity yet, she had guessed that Jiang Zhige had come specially to save her.
However, Nangong Rou and Su Qingqiu didn't know about this. Who knew that she came to the Great Wasteland to die? Who was willing to risk his life to save her? While thinking about this, the battle between Jiang Zhige and Jiulong Molong had already begun.
Jiang Zhige's main fighting power is his demonic energy and Tianjiufangxuji, but as a great emperor, he naturally has other means of attack.
Before he became emperor, Jiang Zhige practiced some sword techniques to avoid revealing his identity as a demon cultivator. With the help of the remaining origin of the Great Dao, he was able to temporarily avoid being at a disadvantage in the battle against the Nine-Dragon Desert Dragon.
A battle at the semi-emperor level is enough to tear apart an ordinary plane in an instant. Even in the vast wilderness, the wind and clouds will change color and the space will shake.
Mo Ziyan was in a state of confusion and stood far away without moving.
It was obvious that she wanted to die, so why did Jiang Zhige save her again and again?
If she helped Jiang Zhige, Mo Ziyan would be doomed to fail. But in this case, she could only watch Jiang Zhige die in the wilderness to save her.
After a long battle, the Nine-headed Desert Dragon gradually gained the upper hand by taking advantage of its master's advantage.
Jiang Zhige is indeed a great emperor, but there are too many methods that he cannot use. It is difficult to defeat the Nine-headed Desert Dragon with just his half-baked swordsmanship even if he has the origin of the Great Dao.
