63: Play a game, I win, everyone dies

“My mother was originally from the Upper Realm... no, perhaps the Middle Thousand World. After she descended to the Lower Realm and fell in love with my father, she gave birth to me.”

“But when I was young, people from the Upper Realm forcibly took my mother away.”

“For all these years, I have been searching for her, even establishing an intelligence organization specifically to investigate where my mother went, but I have found nothing...”

The Disciples below did not notice the abnormality here and continued with their competition.

And Su Lianxue took this time to reveal her secret.

The Holy Lord Su Yuanming looked at his daughter, slightly dazed, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.

The surrounding Elders also turned their heads slightly upon hearing this; they were aware of this matter, but they had no clue about the intelligence organization she mentioned.

“Could it be the Yunshan Pavilion, which has been widely rumored?”

“Yunshan Pavilion, as a newly established force in Zhongzhou, has many talented people overseeing it. Many have speculated about who is behind it. Could it be the Saintess of our Guan Xue Holy Land?”

A few Elders immediately guessed what kind of existence the intelligence organization Su Lianxue spoke of was.

After all, the most mysterious was none other than the newly established force, Yunshan Pavilion.

“Precisely, but... even so, I still haven’t found any news of my mother, so I want to ask Your Highness...”

“To help you find your mother?”

Jun Lingxiao interrupted her with a calm expression and a slight smile on his lips.

Su Lianxue was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Jun Lingxiao to be so direct, but then she nodded honestly.

However, Jun Lingxiao did not continue speaking after that.

He looked down, but his mind began to ponder.

“How familiar this plot is. The male lead endures hardships along the way, finally attaches himself to some force, and rises rapidly.”

“And in the end, it turns out his childhood sweetheart is the master of this force, and it was his childhood sweetheart who was helping him all along. After this mystery is revealed, the romantic subplot between the male and female leads will surely progress smoothly, eventually achieving a happy ending.”

“Then this force also becomes the male lead's, and under the male lead's help and management, it eventually becomes a mysterious and powerful top-tier force.”

“A cliché and predictable storyline.”

Jun Lingxiao thought as he glanced at Su Lianxue and asked:

“What is your mother’s name?”

“Qi Qianning!” As if finally grasping hope, Su Lianxue’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Even the Holy Lord's face beside her showed a hint of anticipation.

Perhaps they could truly rely on this lord to find his wife!

“Is there a Qi Family in the Middle Thousand World?”

Jun Lingxiao asked An Luoxin, who was beside him.

The Imperial Dynasty where An Luoxin belonged was different from a behemoth like the Jun Family; being familiar with the forces of various regions was a basic lesson, knowing who could be provoked and who could not.

“Yes. I heard there’s a Qi Family in the Upper Thousand Realms, but the Family was weak, and something seemed to have happened later, causing them to fall into the Middle Thousand World.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Lianxue; many were annihilated, but very few ended up in other realms.

This usually wasn’t because of enemies, but because they were too weak, or something had happened within the Family, and they feared being targeted by a stronger Family, leading to self-exile.

Otherwise, if there truly were enemies who wanted to act against you, like the Fang Family, from the Ten Directions Immortal Court all the way to the Upper Thousand, Middle Thousand, and Lower Thousand Realms, all affiliated collateral branches of the Fang Family were eradicated, and those who survived were enslaved for life.

There was no escape.

Listening, Jun Lingxiao nodded, then, without turning his head, said to Su Lianxue, “You heard it, the Qi Family of the Middle Thousand World.”

The meaning was clear.

You couldn't find her, fine, I found her. Your mother is in the Middle Thousand World, go.

He would not concern himself with the rest.

Su Lianxue also understood this, only regretting that she had spoken too confidently just now. Who knew that the news she had struggled so hard to find would come so easily from Jun Lingxiao?

But how could she possibly go to the Middle Thousand World...? “Your Highness, please help me...”

Su Lianxue's voice gradually faded as she spoke, for she knew how rude her plea was.

The two were not even friends, and she had nothing to offer Jun Lingxiao. Saying such words shamelessly already made her small face flush crimson.

“Help you?”

Indeed, Jun Lingxiao scoffed, but he said nothing more, instead looking at the arena below.

At this moment, a young man with a clear complexion and resolute eyes stepped onto the stage. His temperament was unique, and his steps were steady and powerful.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, the audience below immediately erupted, whispering and murmuring as if mocking the young man on stage.

However, no matter how they discussed, the young man maintained his pace, walking step by step towards the center of the stage.

There was no need to guess; this was undoubtedly the protagonist.

“He must be Han Feng.”

“How about this, I’ll play a game with you. We’ll bet on what place Han Feng will achieve in this grand competition.”

“If you win, I will send you to reunite with your mother.”

“If I win...”

Saying this, Jun Lingxiao looked at Su Lianxue teasingly, not speaking further, but sending a direct sound transmission into her mind.

“Everyone must die.”

As he said this, he also mouthed the words, ‘everyone’.

‘Everyone’ means including all the Disciples here, and the Elders, my father, and even me?

Su Lianxue's mind was in turmoil for a moment. Although she longed for her mother, she did not want to make such a dangerous bet.

Looking at Jun Lingxiao, who was smiling ambiguously, the memory of Fan Zuo's beheading was still fresh, and the words of refusal were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

“Lianxue, agree to Your Highness, why are you hesitating? This is your only chance!”

Su Yuanming watched anxiously from the side, unable to help but urge her.

In his opinion, this was just a playful bet born of His Highness's temporary interest; losing was no big deal.

But how could he know that the graceful young man in front of him had included the lives of everyone present, even his own life as the Holy Lord, in this bet?

It was indeed a joke, treating human lives as a joke.

“Exactly, your father is even urging you.”

“Since you won’t choose, I’ll choose first.” Jun Lingxiao said, suddenly looking at two birds flying overhead, and then directly stated, “I’ll bet he comes in second. Regardless of what happens along the way, I’ll bet he comes in second, and I won’t change it.”

“As for you, I don’t want to bully you. You can choose whatever you want, and you can change your answer freely until Han Feng makes it into the top ten.”

“How about it?”

‘How about it?’

Su Lianxue asked herself in her heart. Thinking, she looked at the arena below, let out a soft sigh, and tacitly agreed.

Did she have a choice?
