Long Tianmo let out a deep sigh, a profound and painful expression on her delicate face that was far beyond her thirteen years.
It pained Ye Tianling to see her like this, but he kept it to himself.
’Can I even escape? And even if I could, if I ran, it would just prove that you’ve betrayed your father. Given his nature, he’d show you no rcy, would he?’
Ye Tianling murmured to himself.
He didn’t say these words aloud, nor would he ever.
His promise to protect his sister was not just empty words.
"Brother, you can escape. Activate the Hidden Dragon Technique, pass through the Land of the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array, and enter the Celestial Dragon Sword Tomb. As for , I’m our father’s most beloved daughter. He would never hurt ."
Long Tianmo’s gaze flickered, and she avoided Ye Tianling’s intense stare as she spoke in a soft voice.
"Tianmo, you’re his daughter, but I’m his son. If he’s willing to kill , what makes you think he’d spare you? That man... I’m afraid he’s fallen into so state of confusion. We can’t apply common sense to him anymore."
Ye Tianling said in a grim tone.
As he spoke, he took the Projection Stone from Ancient Fairy out of his Qiankun Ring.
Long Tianmo had intended to act covertly and restrain Ye Tianling, but after seeing the unshakeable resolve in his eyes, her hand trembled slightly, and she couldn’t bring herself to use her Ability.
From their interactions over the past few days, she had co to understand just how terrifying her brother Ye Tianling’s instinctive sense for danger was.
For instance, he had been able to dodge her sudden attacks before. While that was partly a credit to her training, it was even more so a testant to so of Ye Tianling’s own hidden, terrifying Talents.
Ye Tianling’s words had also caused any faint, lingering hope in Long Tianmo’s heart to dim considerably.
"Tianmo, give a mont."
Ye Tianling turned around, holding the Projection Stone. He gathered his Dragon Soul Power to activate it and began recording a projection. "Fairy, my disciple," he said, "although I have never formally been your Master for even a single day, you have always been on my mind. I heard from my other disciple, Xuegui, that your Talent is excellent... I am leaving a Cultivation Technique for you, called the ’Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao.’ It’s only the Entry Level thod... I’m ashad that I haven’t comprehended much of it myself, but... the technique is incredibly powerful..."
A shadow crossed Ye Tianling’s eyes.
Ever since seeing the simulated projection of Ancient Fairy that Wan Xuegui had shown him, Ye Tianling had found her quite unforgettable.
After seeing the Little Mink at Long Tianmo’s side, that inexplicable sense of connection had deepened considerably.
Or perhaps it was the ever-escalating sense of crisis over the past few days that had made Ye Tianling finally think of leaving behind his inheritance, just in case the worst should happen.
At this mont, it was as if Ye Tianling was arranging his final affairs.
He acted on instinct, as if he could already sense the terrible fate about to befall him.
No one in this world could cultivate the "Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique."
However, the "Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao"—the Killing Dao, the so-called Tree Cutting Technique derived from the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon—could be comprehended and passed down.
This Cultivation Technique was currently even more powerful and heaven-defying than Huaxia’s Unparalleled Martial Arts, yet Wan Xuegui, Que Xinyan, and even Long Tianmo lacked the Ability to comprehend it.
After preparing the Projection Stone, Ye Tianling looked toward the nearby Land of the Celestial Desolate Forbidden Array. Unleashing his Dragon Soul Power, he called out, "Xue’Xue, take this Projection Stone to Wan Xuegui. Then, use the power of the Devouring Array and wait here for a while."
In response to Ye Tianling’s Dragon Soul call, the Little Mink ca bounding out and quickly landed on his shoulder.
Her deanor was a mix of charming naivety and adorable cluelessness, yet she seed sowhat bewildered.
She tilted her head, staring blankly at Long Tianmo.
"Be a good girl and listen to him... Xue’Xue, wait here for three days. If I don’t make it back this ti but my brother does, then you are to follow him from now on. And if neither of us returns, take Que Xinyan and Wan Xuegui to find Que De, and tell him everything that has happened here..."
Long Tianmo said, taking a deep breath, her expression solemn.
"CHEEP—CHEEP—"
The Little Mink, Xue’Xue, imdiately brought her front paws together as if in a bow and nodded vigorously in agreent.
"Brother, let’s go sowhere else."
Long Tianmo sighed.
"Alright, let’s go."
Ye Tianling nodded and followed Long Tianmo.
Long Tianmo used Sword Control, carrying Ye Tianling as she flew proactively toward the direction from which Long Fengyang was approaching.
’Little Dragon Girl, if things get too dangerous for this ti, at the critical mont, I need you to take the Dragon Blood and the inheritance and find either Ouyang Ruoxue or Ye Yuei. Then, have them help save Tianyu.’
Ye Tianling called out to the Little Dragon Girl in his mind.
He hadn’t wanted to call on her.
The Little Dragon Girl’s own situation wasn’t necessarily much better than Long Tianyu’s.
For such a powerful being like the Little Dragon Girl to follow him, Ye Tianling, only to end up in such a state... He truly hated his own powerlessness.
This cruel reality assaulted his body and mind, nearly suffocating him.
But what else could he do now?
"Ye Tianling, you actually have two options here. The first is to comprehend the principles of the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao, drain all of Long Tianmo’s latent Talent and her Dragon Blood, unleash the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, and utterly destroy Long Fengyang."
"This is a path of mutual destruction; the three of you would all die. Moreover, during this process, Long Tianmo must not resist."
"You can tell her about this plan of attack. As long as she agrees, the probability of success is ninety-three percent."
The Little Dragon Girl relayed this information in a chanical, seemingly emotionless voice, yet a thread of tenderness within it still seeped into the depths of Ye Tianling’s heart.
Ye Tianling’s heart felt as if it were being cradled by an incredibly warm Energy, and the pain within it instantly subsided.
He felt imnsely grateful but didn’t express it.
’You said it yourself—only if Tianmo is willing. But haven’t you noticed? Just like Tianyu, Tianmo is a person of Supre Emotion and Nature. She is especially forgiving and kind toward her family. How could she possibly raise a hand against her own father?’
’Besides, how could I ever do sothing like that—force Tianmo to undergo Transformation Dao for my sake? I wouldn’t be that cruel even if she had treated poorly, let alone to my own sister. I may be a Great Demon, but even I couldn’t bring myself to do such a thing.’
Ye Tianling sighed to himself.
The Little Dragon Girl pondered for a mont before replying, "You are not a Great Demon. You are a true Inheritor of Supre Emotion and Nature. Otherwise, how could the Huaxia Dragon Soul Inheritance, and indeed the entire legacy of Huaxia’s civilization, have fallen to you? Because the Celestial Dao is incomplete, you are actually a perfect fit for the ’Dao Generating One’ principle of the Celestial Dao Rules. You are the only existence that is ’outside the Life Chart’."
"That is why your inheritance cannot truly be accepted by anyone else. Not Ouyang Ruoxue, and not Ye Yuei."
Ye Tianling gave a wry, internal smile. ’This is the first ti anyone has ever praised for having Supre Emotion and Nature.’
The Little Dragon Girl continued, "The second option is to truly undergo Entering Demon and transform into the Evil Venerable. That would give you another way out. However, in your case, you might end up on a path similar to Long Fengyang’s... This is a road you must... consider very, very carefully."
