Chapter 121: Returning to Youzhou, and Striking a Deal with Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable!

【After Su Wanqing entered the main hall, she looked at you with lifeless eyes, yet there was no hatred in them.】

【Ever since Bai He had told her the truth, she had also begun to hate her own identity and resent the unfairness of fate.】

【You looked at the listless Su Wanqing and spoke calmly.】

【“You have two choices: come with me to the Central Continent and continue cultivating, or stay in Xuanzhou for the rest of your life and remain stuck at Nascent Soul Great Perfection!”】

【After hearing your words, a Bizarre flicker passed through Su Wanqing’s eyes, but it quickly faded back into calm.】

【“If I continue cultivating, I’ll only keep corrupting secret realms. If I do that, I’ll be a sinner of the Human Race!”】

【Hearing that, you did not choose to explain too much to Su Wanqing. Instead, you simply reminded her again,】

【“You don’t need to think so much. If you want to cultivate, come with me. If you don’t, then stay here!”】

【The moment your words fell, the hall sank into silence.】

【Su Wanqing’s gaze moved back and forth between you and Bai He. You could clearly see the struggle on her face.】

【The reason you did not explain too much to Su Wanqing was because you realized that she was indecisive, and her Dao heart was not firm enough.】

【You wanted her to make the choice herself without knowing the full truth.】

【You wanted to see how she would choose between the future of the Human Race and cultivating alone while shouldering that responsibility.】

【After a long while, you saw that Su Wanqing was still full of hesitation and had not made a choice.】

【You glanced at Su Wanqing and shook your head helplessly.】

【Then, without the slightest hesitation, you turned and walked away.】

【At the very moment you turned around, the long-silent Su Wanqing seemed to make up her mind.】

【“Wait!”】

【“I’ll go with you!”】

【You turned back and looked at Su Wanqing expressionlessly. You saw that there was no more hesitation on her face now. Instead, her eyes were incomparably resolute.】

【“Aren’t you afraid that if all the secret realms are corrupted, the Human Race will have no future?”】

【Hearing that, Su Wanqing lowered her head slightly, then answered with confidence,】

【“No! The Human Race will not be left without a future!”】

【“I am the future of the Human Race!”】

【“Once my cultivation is accomplished, I will personally bring an end to the Bizarre insects’ rule over the Canglan Realm!”】

【After hearing those words, the corners of your mouth could not help but lift slightly.】

【This was the answer you had wanted to hear.】

【“Very good! Come with me. I’ll explain the reason to you on the way!”】

【Immediately afterward, you took Su Wanqing and set out on the road toward the Central Continent.】

【Before leaving, you noticed a slight change in Bai He’s expression, but you could not see through her true thoughts.】

【Half a year later!】

【You brought Su Wanqing to a secret realm, where you reunited with Zhuge Qing and the others.】

【Along the way, after hearing your explanation, Su Wanqing felt even less burdened, and she even wanted to see Qin Yang’s true condition for herself as a Son of Destiny.】

【After seeing Zhuge Qing’s group, although Su Wanqing had never met Qin Yang before, she still recognized at a glance which one was Qin Yang out of your external incarnation and Qin Yang himself.】

【At this moment, your external incarnation was still wearing its disguised appearance.】

【After entrusting Su Wanqing to Zhuge Qing, you prepared to return to Youzhou.】

【Before leaving the Central Continent, you reminded Zhuge Qing that if the two Sons of Destiny cultivated together, it might accelerate the rate at which the secret realm became corrupted.】

【You told Zhuge Qing that he absolutely had to keep a close watch on the progress of the secret realm’s corruption.】

【Year Seventeen!】

【After returning to Youzhou, the very first thing you did was make a trip to the Sword Pavilion.】

【Once back at the Sword Pavilion, you found that there were not many people there. Only Lin Tian, Fang Jingchun, and Zi You were present.】

【However, the Sword Pavilion Master was still nowhere to be found.】

【When Zi You saw that you had returned, she was somewhat surprised.】

【“Little Junior Brother! Weren’t you in the Central Continent cultivating together with Qin Yang and the others? Why did you suddenly come back?”】

【You told Zi You that you had no intention of staying in the Central Continent to continue cultivating, and that you had a reason you absolutely had to return.】

【Hearing that, Zi You immediately became interested.】

【“What matter could make you, Little Junior Brother, take it so seriously?”】

【Seeing that there was no avoiding Zi You’s questioning, you let out a helpless sigh.】

【“The blood stele in the Blood Demon Secret Realm, and the Taixu Immortal Sword!”】

【You told Zi You that Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable had always been a hidden danger, and that your earlier plan had been to release him two years before the heavenly tribulation arrived.】

【You told Zi You that since Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable was going to be released anyway, you intended to strike a deal with him.】

【When Zi You heard that you wanted to make a deal with Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable, her eyes widened abruptly.】

【“Little Junior Brother! Have you lost your mind?”】

【“You want to make a deal with a Bizarre insect?”】

【You knew that Zi You had always hated Bizarre insects, and hated even more the idea of humans having dealings with them.】

【You explained to Zi You,】

【No matter what, Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable had to be released in the end. That way, after his cultivation recovered two years later, he would certainly be unable to escape the great calamity of heaven and earth.】

【You told Zi You that this would also resolve any future troubles connected to the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【Secondly, you told Zi You that since Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable was going to be released anyway, why not make a deal with him and extract some benefit from it?】

【After hearing that, Zi You parted her lips and stared at you in disbelief. She had never imagined your courage would be this great.】

【“Little Junior Brother, aren’t you afraid Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable will trick you?”】

【“Don’t worry! He can’t deceive me!”】

【Right after that, Zi You asked again what kind of deal you intended to make with Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable.】

【After thinking for a moment, you slowly uttered a few words.】

【“The Taixu Immortal Sword!”】

【You told Zi You that Bizarre insects understood Bizarre insects best. You wanted to use Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable to obtain a way to suppress the Bizarre insect inside the Taixu Immortal Sword.】

【“Th-This... would a Bizarre insect really help us deal with its own kind?”】

【You told Zi You that Bizarre insects were no different from the Human Race. Internally, they were not as harmonious as people imagined. Only when faced with life-and-death circumstances would they unite.】

【The next day!】

【You left the Sword Pavilion and headed for the Blood Demon Secret Realm!】

【After entering the Blood Demon Secret Realm, you once again sensed that the spiritual energy within it had become even thinner.】

【Inside the Blood Demon Secret Realm, you saw many familiar faces.】

【To your surprise, Ye Chuxue’s cultivation had already broken through to Initial Integration Realm.】

【You were somewhat shocked. It had not been that long, yet her cultivation had already risen from Void Refinement to Initial Integration Realm.】

【At the same time, elsewhere, you also sensed that Xuanyuan Tianji’s cultivation had already reached Void Refinement Great Perfection.】

【Thinking back to the last time you had met, his cultivation had only been at Initial Deity Transformation!】

【After briefly greeting a few of them, you walked straight toward the blood stele deep within the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【When you arrived at the blood stele, you found that Xia Qiange was the only one there.】

【“Senior Sister Xia, could you open the formation? I want to go inside and make a deal with Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable!”】

【The moment those words were spoken, Xia Qiange suddenly opened her eyes wide!】
