"Begin."
Jin Li spoke indifferently, his tone detached, as if it carried a supre will that brooked no argunt.
Sitting cross-legged, Bai Ying completely disregarded Jin Li's stance, her face cold as she directly retorted, "I've just co out of the restriction, my spiritual power hasn't fully recovered. Are you sure you want to begin?"
"I'm sure! It starts now!"
Jin Li's attitude was unexpectedly firm, Bai Ying no longer insisted, standing up, though the reluctance on her face was unmistakably obvious.
Everyone gets angry when their spiritual power recovery is interrupted, especially a strong figure like Bai Ying.
However, Jin Li had his reasons, Jin Li's strength was indeed formidable, but Bai Ying was also powerful. If Bai Ying fully recovered her spiritual power, there's a slight chance she might suddenly turn hostile and launch a surprise attack...
Of course, that chance was slim. What Jin Li truly feared was Bai Ying secretly breaking the shackles on her, escaping Xu Fan's control. If that happened, Jin Li would lose control over Bai Ying.
These were things Jin Li wished to avoid.
Buzz!
A terrifying wave of energy fluctuated from Jin Li's body, and his already fearso physique surged upwards by several feet, becoming akin to The Immortal of Colossal Spirit! Spiritual power surged, golden light gleaming all over, brilliant and dazzling!
Bang!
Jin Li stepped heavily on the ground, the entire temple shook, the ground trembled, while straight ahead, a towering restriction rose from the earth, visible to the eye.
Nurous runes flickered continuously on the restriction, terrifying energy waves emanating from it. Let alone an Exotic Beast, even a Beast King crashing into this restriction would be instantly torn to shreds!
More terrifying is that this restriction keeps absorbing energy from the heavens and earth, old runes dimming, yet newer runes automatically light up, harboring profoundly mysterious chanisms operating independently, unaffected by ti even after a thousand years.
Nonetheless, Jin Li, trapped within this restriction for a millennium, seed to thoroughly understand it, coldly issuing commands to Bai Ying, "Attack here, exhaust the restriction's spiritual power, and I'll sabotage the central point while the restriction absorbs nature's spiritual energy!"
"Once it loses the ability to absorb and convert nature's spiritual energy, this restriction will lose its power! One punch from can break it!"
Bai Ying frowned once more, her face frosty to the extre!
"Why should I exhaust the restriction? My spiritual power hasn't even fully recovered; how could I fully deplete the restriction's energy?"
No wonder Bai Ying was angry, Jin Li was the strongest, in optimal condition, yet he gave her the burdenso task, clearly intending to weaken Bai Ying's strength and kill her after breaking the restriction.
The collaboration hadn't even begun, and Jin Li already planned to burn bridges; how could Bai Ying not be furious?
Seemingly seeing through Bai Ying's thoughts, Jin Li's face showed a smug smile.
The Taoists excel in cunning, but Jin Li favored overt tactics!
Today's events, one link following another, were all planned by Jin Li long ago! Every link brimd with overt scheming, even if everyone knew Jin Li's intentions, no one could do anything against Jin Li! Conversely, everyone had to act according to Jin Li's plan!
These overt strategies, Jin Li pondered for a thousand years! How could he leave Bai Ying any room for resistance?
Nonetheless, Jin Li did so superficial work, symbolically consoling Bai Ying with two sentences, "Bai Ying, when I, Jin Li, make promises, they are as solid as a mountain! I promised to give you a way out, after breaking the restriction, I'll give you a path, and even a great opportunity."
"Making you exhaust the restriction isn't to make things difficult for you, but after depleting it, I need sufficient spiritual power to break through in one swift motion. Also, you are unfamiliar with everything within the restriction, so you can only deplete it."
"All of this is to help us leave this damned place quickly! Do you understand?"
These words Jin Li said with imnse emotion, yet Bai Ying was unmoved. Bai Ying knew Jin Li's character too well! Or rather, as a contemporary, no one understood Jin Li better than Bai Ying!
Quick-tempered! Deceitful! Vengeful! Murderous intent heavy!
Such a person suddenly speaking tender words, could Bai Ying not guess Jin Li's intentions?
However, just as Bai Ying was about to fight Jin Li to the bitter end, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind, "Agree with him!"
The voice's owner was Xu Fan!
Previously, Xu Fan, feigning unconsciousness, perfectly evaded Jin Li's attention, realizing the first step of his plan, then quietly using Bai Ying as his eyes and ears, observing everything, waiting for the second step.
This second step, Xu Fan had never told Bai Ying, similar to Jin Li's overt sche, as everything needed to follow sequentially!
Jin Li's overt plan was overpowering, so Xu Fan had foreseen Jin Li's arrangents and plans early on. Hence, Xu Fan intentionally withheld his plan and counterasures from Bai Ying, ensuring Bai Ying's natural reactions avoided Jin Li's suspicion.
As long as Jin Li had no doubts, Xu Fan's plan's second step would proceed smoothly.
"Alright, I'll act according to your orders."
Bai Ying had long entrusted her life to Xu Fan, and now she had no doubts about Xu Fan's instructions.
Yet Bai Ying's next words vented her displeasure to the utmost.
"But you should know, I just woke up, and my spiritual power hasn't fully recovered! If you think this thod can help us leave here faster, I have no objections!"
Though Bai Ying said she had no objections, anyone could hear that Bai Ying not only had objections, but they were significant!
Xu Fan's plan, from start to finish, hadn't revealed a single word to Bai Ying, whether Xu Fan's plan was feasible, Bai Ying had no inkling! And Jin Li was so aggressive!
It would be strange if Bai Ying wasn't angry!
Clearly, Jin Li thought the sa, seeing the fury and ice on Bai Ying's face, Jin Li's smile was unrestrained.
Everything was in grasp, victory assured, what need was there to hide anything?
