666: Ye Chenxiao doesn't want to choose anymore

“Why not… take a risk?”

A bold idea suddenly arose in Ye Chenxiao's heart: what if he tried to get the reward out first?

As soon as this thought appeared, Ye Chenxiao immediately gave up on it.

The consequences of being suppressed would be unimaginable.

Although an Innate treasure was important, it wasn't as important as his own life and freedom.

“I choose C.” Ye Chenxiao gritted his teeth.

Humiliation was humiliation, but survival came first.

Moreover… a cold glint flashed in Ye Chenxiao’s eyes.

He had always been: if others didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them; but if others offended him, he would kill them.

A Sword Cultivator should rather bend than break, have a clear Sword Heart, ride a sword on the wind, slay Dragons when encountering them, and kill gods if they stood in his way.

He had no grudges with Ruyu Luoli, yet these two, relying on their powerful strength, actually used him as cannon fodder.

Since that was the case, they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Although he couldn't defeat them, once he entered the Death Canyon, he could use the Qi of the Three Tribulations and Five Declines within the Death Canyon to trap and kill the two of them.

Even if Luoli was the Divine Maiden of Lingxu Sect, with a noble status, killing her would cause great trouble.

However, having been forced to this point by the two of them, if he still didn't fight back, then he might as well stop Cultivating, and wouldn't be worthy of being a Sword Cultivator.

“I just want to Cultivate discreetly and become stronger quietly, why do you have to force me?” Ye Chenxiao thought coldly.

Outwardly, he was as calm as a chrysanthemum: “Thank you for Your Excellency’s care, I am extremely grateful.”

Seeing this, Gu Qing basically understood what kind of protagonist Ye Chenxiao was.

Most likely a protagonist of the 'cautious and low-key' type.

But that was even better.

The more sensible Ye Chenxiao was, the easier he would be to control.

As for whether Ye Chenxiao would cause trouble secretly…

That was inevitable.

The protagonist would definitely cause trouble.

One who didn't cause trouble wasn't a protagonist.

Gu Qing wasn't worried at all; in the face of absolute strength, any scheme or trick was fleeting.

“Qi Chuan of Tianqi Mountain greets Fellow Daoist, may I ask for Fellow Daoist’s name?”

Qi Chuan cupped his fists and said.

Originally, seeing Gu Qing trouble Ye Chenxiao and the two almost coming to blows, he couldn't have been more excited.

He secretly brewed a Divine Ability, planning to seize the Opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Chenxiao.

Who knew the situation would take a sharp turn? Gu Qing only wanted to capture Ye Chenxiao as cannon fodder, leaving him happy for nothing.

It wasn't entirely for nothing; killing Ye Chenxiao after entering the Death Canyon was the same.

“Yu Qing.”

Gu Qing glanced at him, seeing that he was enveloped in Tribulation Qi, indicating a deadly disaster.

Without thinking, this must be a minor villain about to be slaughtered by Ye Chenxiao.

“Fellow Daoist Yu Qing, may I have the honor of forming a team with you? Of course, if a treasure is found, Fellow Daoist will choose first.” Qi Chuan said.

Letting the other party choose first meant giving the main share to the other party.

After all, it was impossible for two identical treasures to appear; they could only be compensated with other things.

Normally, Qi Chuan would naturally be unwilling, but now, he only wanted to kill Ye Chenxiao, so whether he got a treasure or not was irrelevant.

“Yes.”

Gu Qing nodded.

He had no objection to having one more cannon fodder.

“You all go and seek your own Opportunities.”

Luoli, seeing that the matter was settled, let her followers disperse to seek their own Opportunities.

“Yes, Divine Maiden!”

The followers scattered in all directions.

“Senior Brother, you go too.”

“…Alright!”

Xu Ying was silent for a moment, then nodded. Although unwilling, his strength was too low, and following Luoli would only be a burden.

The other Saints present looked at each other and exchanged messages through telepathy.

“Should we team up with him?”

“If we encounter a treasure, are you willing to let them choose first?”

“Unwilling, but Luoli and Yu Qing’s Divine Abilities are extraordinary. If we go in, can we contend with them?”

“Why don’t we go to other places to seek Opportunities?”

“That’s what I was thinking.”

...“Let’s go.”

Gu Qing stepped into the Death Canyon, planning to enter and then find a way to test Ye Chenxiao.

The canyon was filled with decaying Qi, death Qi, and tribulation Qi.

These three types of Qi, though not as powerful as the Tribulation Sha Qi of Myriad Tribulations Valley, were even more terrifying for Saints than Tribulation Sha Qi.

If they were contaminated by Tribulation Sha Qi, at most they would be polluted, which could be cleansed with secret techniques and treasures.

But these three types of Qi were the Qi of Tribulation and Decline left behind when celestials underwent the Three Tribulations and Five Declines.

If they were tainted by even a trace, they might immediately undergo the Three Tribulations and Five Declines.

Gu Qing dared not be careless in the slightest, immediately put several layers of protective shields on himself, and then unleashed the Nine Suns Dharma Idol Divine Ability.

Nine scorching suns slowly rose above his head, burning away all the decaying Qi in all directions.

“Nine Suns…”

Ye Chenxiao's pupils contracted slightly, almost thinking these were real nine suns.

Gu Qing's Nine Suns Dharma Idol Divine Ability was too profound, almost reaching the Dao.

Seeing a glimpse allowed him to understand the whole, and Ye Chenxiao became even more wary of Gu Qing.

“I heard you are the Personal Disciple of Star Mother?”

At this moment, Gu Qing asked.

“Fellow Daoist Yu Qing thinks too highly of me; I am merely a Named Disciple of Revered Master.”

Ye Chenxiao answered without much thought.

He had wanted to go along with it, being vague, hoping to use Star Mother to intimidate Gu Qing.

But the fact that he was a Named Disciple was clear to Luoli and Qi Chuan, so he couldn't deceive Gu Qing at all.

“Oh.”

Gu Qing said “Oh” with an unchanged expression, then with an expression of admiration: “I’ve long heard that Star Mother emerged from a small Universe, powerfully proved her Dao as a Chaos Dominator, was amazingly talented and unparalleled in intellect, and the Divine Abilities she created were the best in the world.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxiao instinctively felt an ominous premonition.

He felt that Gu Qing's words had a hidden meaning, like a drunkard not caring for wine.

Sure enough, Gu Qing continued: “I wonder how much of Star Mother’s Legacy you have obtained?”

Ye Chenxiao's heart tightened. After much thought, he replied: “Fellow Daoist thinks too highly of me. Revered Master’s Divine Abilities are vast and boundless; I am dull-witted and have not even learned one ten-thousandth.”

“No wonder you lost to Junior Sister.”

Gu Qing nodded, as if believing Ye Chenxiao’s words, and looked at him askance with a contemptuous expression.

“You are too much of a good-for-nothing. Having worshipped such a legendary powerful being as Star Mother as your Revered Master, you are still so vulnerable.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxiao’s face immediately turned ugly.

He was a Sword Cultivator with the most Heaven-Defying combat power, yet he was belittled as utterly useless.

Yet he was powerless to refute, as he had indeed lost to Luoli.

“You make Fellow Daoist laugh; it is my lack of skill.” Ye Chenxiao suppressed the anger in his heart and said indifferently.

“Did you not learn diligently, or did Star Mother not teach you?”

Gu Qing’s gaze was as cold as a knife, as if looking directly into the depths of Ye Chenxiao’s Divine Soul.

If Ye Chenxiao dared to lie, he would be cut down with one strike.

Under Gu Qing’s gaze, Ye Chenxiao felt as if he was being stared at by a great terror; his breathing stopped, and a sense of powerlessness, where his life and death were not his own, arose in his heart.

“So strong…” Ye Chenxiao was horrified in his heart.

If just a gaze was so terrifying, then how powerful must Gu Qing’s true strength be?

He finally believed some of what the Divine Rank Choice System said.

Gu Qing might indeed have the strength to instantly kill him.

“Ding dong!”

“Host has triggered the following choices.”

“Choice A: You will not endure this great humiliation. Follow your true self, uphold the unyielding will of a Sword Cultivator, draw your sword, and vow to fight Ruyu Divine Maiden to the death, until the last drop of blood. Reward: One coffin.”

“Choice B: Tell the truth and admit that you are mediocre, unworthy of Star Mother’s Legacy. Reward: None.”

This time there were only two choices.

But he didn’t want to choose either of them.
