354: Let’s go, the Anti-Heaven Alliance!

Looking at the three trembling figures, Lin Ang sighed.

Having already killed one person, he still felt a touch of reluctance in his heart.

First, he said to Ye Xiao, "You can go."

Hearing Lin Ang's words, Ye Xiao looked at him sharply, as if she couldn't believe Lin Ang was letting her go; she suspected she had misheard him.

Seeing no reaction from Ye Xiao, Lin Ang urged again, "Hurry up and go."

This time, Ye Xiao was certain that Lin Ang truly intended to let her leave, and a visible look of joy appeared on her face.

Her two companions, Ye Hua and Bu Zhao, also became agitated at the sight.

Lin Ang looked at them, somewhat puzzled as to why these two were getting excited; he hadn't told them they could leave.

Feeling that his words might not have conveyed his meaning correctly, he added, "Ye Xiao can go."

The unspoken meaning was that Ye Hua and Bu Zhao, they had to stay.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao didn't even glance at her two companions and turned to leave without hesitation.

She had joined the Defying Heaven Alliance simply to survive, so how could she risk her life to save others?

Everything she did was, in fact, just to survive as a Defier.

Therefore, at this moment, she abandoned her two companions without a second thought, even though one of them had introduced her to the Defying Heaven Alliance.

The two wanted to say something, clearly intending for Ye Xiao to plead for them.

But Ye Xiao's resolute attitude meant that by the time the words reached their lips, she was already far away.

Now, only Lin Ang, Ye Hua, and Bu Zhao remained in the field.

Facing Lin Ang's intimidating presence, the two dared not speak.

They felt that they still had a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise, why would Lin Ang keep them alive? He would have slapped them to death long ago.

It had already been proven when he fought Lord Qiu that he possessed such strength.

So, neither of them dared to speak much, fearing they might anger Lin Ang and lose this hard-won chance to save their lives.

Looking at the two, Lin Ang asked them a question, "Which of you is willing to take me to the Defying Heaven Alliance headquarters?"

"I!" The one who spoke was Ye Hua, while Bu Zhao fell silent.

Clearly, Bu Zhao was not willing to betray the Defying Heaven Alliance for his own life.

After all, an entity capable of instantly killing Lord Qiu, if it infiltrated the Defying Heaven Alliance, would undoubtedly cause immense harm.

Not only that, upon seeing Ye Hua agree, he even cursed at Ye Hua angrily.

"You cowardly wretch, you're willing to betray even the Defying Heaven Alliance just to live! I can understand Ye Xiao, she only abandoned the two of us.

But you, you're going to betray the entire Defying Heaven Alliance!"

Ye Hua was overcome with shame, "I just, I just want to live!"

From the very beginning, Ye Hua's purpose in joining the Defying Heaven Alliance was the same as Ye Xiao's—to live!

Seeing this, Lin Ang had observed enough. He nodded and said to Bu Zhao, "You can go."

At these words, Bu Zhao's eyes were filled with disbelief, while Ye Hua's face instantly turned ashen.

Correct answer!

Wrong answer!

These were the different thoughts in the two men's minds at this moment.

Because of Ye Xiao's precedent, neither of them doubted the truthfulness of Lin Ang's words.

So Bu Zhao gave Lin Ang a deep look, ignored the pale-faced Ye Hua beside him, and left directly.

"Bu Zhao, save me!"

Suddenly, Ye Hua's loud plea came from behind Bu Zhao.

This made Bu Zhao pause; he had brought this upon himself, and there was no saving him.

The next moment, he no longer paid attention to the voice behind him and quickened his pace, walking away.

The only thing that could be heard was Bu Zhao's hurried footsteps.

Now, only Lin Ang and the despondent Ye Hua remained in the field.

Lin Ang found a stone from somewhere and was playing with it, tossing it up and down.

At one point, the stone slipped from Lin Ang's hand and flew in a certain direction.

A whooshing sound was heard, then a 'thump,' the footsteps disappeared, followed by the sound of some heavy object falling to the ground.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, what happened was quite obvious.

Ye Hua had already prepared himself to accept the final judgment, but then this happened.

It was like he had fallen from heaven to hell, and then risen from hell to heaven.

He now understood Lin Ang's meaning: lead the way and live, refuse and die.

Faced with such a choice, did he still need to hesitate?

So, he immediately knelt before Lin Ang and kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you for sparing my life, thank you for sparing my life, thank you..."

Lin Ang was very satisfied to see that he understood his meaning and asked, "Do you know what you need to do now?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ye Hua quickly responded, fearing that if he was a step late, Lin Ang would kill him.

Don't forget, Ye Xiao was still around; Lin Ang didn't necessarily need him.

Lin Ang nodded, "Good that you understand. Then let's go."

He had nothing to pack, being a lone wolf, he could leave whenever he wanted.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Hua, ignoring his already bruised forehead, stood up hastily, his face covered in blood.

He was a Second Stage Cultivator; such a minor injury was nothing to him.

If he wished, he could recover completely in less than a quarter of an hour.

The two found two fast horses, both top-quality steeds from the City Lord's Mansion, capable of traveling thousands of miles a day with ease.

In reality, their own speed was faster than the horses', but using horses was clearly more relaxing.

"Sir, I will lead the way for you." Ye Hua respectfully indicated the direction ahead.

They had come as three people, but only two remained for the return journey.

And one of them wasn't among the original three.

Ye Hua, who was leading the way, also felt uneasy. If Lin Ang was no match for the Defying Heaven Alliance, and his actions were exposed, he would surely lose his life.

But if he could live a little longer, then he would.

Lin Ang followed behind, thinking about things as they traveled.

There was still some tiger blood left in the City Lord's Mansion, and his realm had already reached the peak of his current major realm.

Logically, he should be able to break through to another major realm using that tiger blood, but that wasn't the case.

Unlike the first two realms, for the third major realm breakthrough, the tiger blood either had to be from a mutated species or not from an ordinary tiger.

Lin Ang could only use that tiger blood for a breakthrough if it met either of these two conditions.

And none of the tiger blood he had collected in the city met Lin Ang's requirements.

This trip, besides the Defying Heaven Alliance matter, he also needed to find a suitable tiger blood.

Judging from the unknown wretch's dying gasp, his current strength should correspond to the peak of the Sixth Stage in the Transcendent System... the Sixth Stage peak.

Ye Xiao once said that the Jiantian Division's National Preceptor was a Ninth Stage expert, and the Defying Heaven Alliance's Leader was an Eighth Stage peak.

Yet he, currently only at the peak of the Spirit Master realm, already corresponded to the Sixth Stage peak.

Then, when he reached the peak of the Grand Spirit Master realm, wouldn't he correspond to the Ninth Stage peak?

But the Spirit Activation System still had three major realms after that, and the Transcendent System seemed to have reached its limit.

If that was the case, how did someone as powerful as the Little Holy Mother die here back then?

As the Holy Mother of the Holy Mother Sect, her strength was definitely at the True Spirit Realm, yet even she had fallen.

Could it be that the Ninth Stage God-achieving existence Ye Xiao mentioned was the one who made the move?
