Chapter 111: The Wish of the Demon Master
Despite the success of his plan, Lian Yun did not dare to let his guard down. As he struck the Evil Spirit Ant, he skillfully pushed it toward the other Evil Spirit Ant behind it.
This gave him enough time to adjust his offensive strategy in case of any unexpected situations.
At the same time, four Nutrient Extractors lunged at the two ants.
Unexpectedly, the unharmed ant, despite being hit by its injured companion, seemed unconcerned for its partner's safety. It clamped onto its body and rushed toward Lian Yun.
The injured ant appeared to be fighting desperately to assist its companion.
As a result, the entire cross-section of the passage was almost occupied by the two ants, leaving no gap for Lian Yun to pass through.
Initially, Lian Yun intended to attack, but sensing the aura emanating from the two ants, he realized they were not making a last-ditch effort or a desperate attack.
"Are they trying to escape?" Lian Yun wondered, taking a few steps back.
Seeing that the two ants showed no signs of diminishing momentum, he concluded that his suspicion was likely correct. As he continued to retreat, he felt conflicted.
He wanted to practice against the two ants and was confident that he could eventually eliminate them. However, if they were indeed trying to flee, he would find it difficult to stop them.
If things went poorly, he could end up seriously injured. Moreover, if the two ants decided to hold their ground, Lian Yun was uncertain whether he could defeat them in a timely manner.
Although he felt frustrated by this unresolved conflict, in order to allow the twins to use the Twin Blossoms at the optimal moment, he chose to avoid confrontation.
Once he retreated near the cave entrance, he shouted, "Everyone move aside!"
As Lian Yun exited the cave, he noticed that Zhou Tong and Murong Ying along with the Ten People had not retreated far; they stood ready on either side, fully alert.
However, as soon as Lian Yun stepped out of the cave, the two ants quickly retreated inside. It seemed they only aimed to drive Lian Yun out of their lair.
"Goodness, he actually knows how to retreat to advance!" Zhou Tong exclaimed.
Lian Yun, however, did not think much of it and said straightforwardly, "You all step back a bit."
With that, he immediately dashed into the cave.
Seeing two ants charging forward again, Lian Yun first commanded Wu Tai to stab at the waist of the ant in front. He didn't use much force, as if he was merely injuring it rather than trying to break it.
Then he retreated back outside the cave.
This time, as the front ant emerged from the cave, the one behind it also poked its head out. However, upon seeing that there were still people on both sides, even though they were a bit far apart, it clamped onto its companion and retreated back into the cave.
This time, without needing Lian Yun's prompting, Zhou Tong and the others quickly found a place to hide.
Once again luring the two ants out, Lian Yun took the opportunity to use Sword Intent and Sword Control Technique to pull out several Nutrient Extractors from the ant in front while sidestepping away.
As he watched one ant bite onto another and hurriedly kick up dust as they fled, Lian Yun felt a slight sense of conflict.
Among humans, there are probably very few who would give up immense benefits for the sake of a companion's life or disregard everything for their partner.
Especially within Fengdu.
Yet these two ants, with little intelligence, could rely on each other so closely and never part ways.
It was truly heart-wrenching!
However, this was not the time for Lian Yun to be sentimental.
As soon as the two ants left the cave, Zhou Tong and the others suddenly emerged, pretending to chase after them before quickly retreating. Although several people cast strange looks at Lian Yun, no one voiced any objections.
Only Zhou Tong said, "Han Bing, Han Xue, you two go in!"
The twins swiftly entered, while Lian Yun, Zhou Tong, and Murong Ying gathered near Lian Yun. Meanwhile, a few others moved closer to the inner areas of Fengdu.
This was to prevent the two ants from going back and forth or bringing other companions along.
At this moment, Lian Yun, Zhou Tong, and Murong Ying stood at the entrance of the cave.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Tong seemed unable to contain himself any longer and asked impatiently, "What are Young Master Yun's thoughts on the Eternal Emperor and the Peerless Demon Master?"
Lian Yun smiled faintly and shook his head, choosing not to answer.
This caused both Zhou Tong and Murong Ying to frown slightly.
They both understood that Lian Yun intended to wait until Han Bing and Han Xue consumed the Twinflower before revealing anything. This meant that only after they parted ways with Lian Yun would he share his thoughts.
If they heard what he had to say beforehand, it was very likely they would take Lian Yun away, preventing him from remaining in Fengdu.
Moreover, there was the possibility of not allowing him to go to Yin Yang City or forcing him into actions he did not wish to take at that moment.
However, Lian Yun did not want them to disrupt his plans, which is why he decided to wait until Han Bing and Han Xue had consumed the Twinflower.
By then, if Lian Yun made his escape, they would be unable to catch up with him. Additionally, their time was limited; they were about to break through and could not pursue for too long.
As the two felt a mix of conflict and intense curiosity about what Lian Yun might be thinking and why he had such confidence in his assumptions, they could only wait since Lian Yun remained silent.
They waited for an hour until dusk arrived.
It seemed that Han Bing and Han Xue had emerged. Zhou Tong spoke first: "From now on, you must join a team and experience it for a while!"
This was something Lian Yun had anticipated but dreaded. He knew Zhou Tong would insist that he join a certain team to personally experience the deceit among people within those groups.
Lian Yun did not refuse, but calmly said, "I won't comment on the intentions of the two emperors until I reach the level of Monarch. Instead, let me ask you some questions. Zhou Tong, if we were to establish a vast power in the future and I unfortunately died along the way, would you take my place?"
"No!" Zhou Tong answered without a hint of hesitation.
If he wanted to become a great ruler, with his intelligence, he had no need to follow Lian Yun.
Lian Yun smiled slightly. "Then you are quite similar to the Peerless Demon Master! If your experiences in life were similar to those of the Peerless Demon Master and you were to return to the world today, what would your plans be?"
"Um..."
Zhou Tong frowned slightly; he did not expect Lian Yun to compare him to the Peerless Demon Master. Nevertheless, he pondered deeply.
However, Murong Ying frowned slightly and said, "It would simply be about fulfilling their wishes from life! But how exactly would the Peerless Demon Master go about it?"
Zhou Tong agreed with Murong Ying's viewpoint; he had thought of this as well. The reason he did not answer was that he wanted to contemplate how the Peerless Demon Master would act.
At that moment, Lian Yun smiled gently and said, "I remember when I was young, my mother once asked me what the Peerless Demon Master's wishes were."
