304: Ugly human nature, why do we need the loyalty of the dead?

As this voice rang out.

Having completely torn off the facade, the two who were at each other's throats froze instantly, their expressions turning pale as paper, and cold sweat uncontrollably streaming down their backs!

"That voice is..."

"How is that possible!?"

The two turned their heads almost simultaneously in sheer terror.

In the shadows of the passage they had arrived from, two figures slowly strolled out.

Kong Wu Dao, leading the way, lifted his chin slightly, a playful arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"What a coincidence."

"I didn't expect to meet you two again so soon."

These words clearly made both Shangguan Wenqin and her companion tremble!

But soon, as if they had realized something, a sense of foreboding welled up within them, chilling them to the bone.

If Kong Wu Dao's sudden appearance in that remote town to save Shangguan Wenya and the others had been a mere coincidence, then describing everything happening now as a coincidence was far too far-fetched!

If Kong Wu Dao didn't have some means of monitoring them, how could he have appeared here so coincidentally!?

But when exactly did it happen!?

Why had they never noticed it!!

"Shangguan Wenqin, I must say, this grand gift you've given me truly satisfies me."

Kong Wu Dao stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the pale pair with a faint smile.

He had naturally also seen the Origin of the World, which was floating in the center of the space and was exceptionally eye-catching.

One must know that to successfully condense an Origin of the World, not only does it require significant effort, but it also requires the accumulation of a vast amount of time.

He hadn't expected that by following behind Shangguan Wenqin today to pick up scraps, he would actually pick up such a massive Opportunity for free.

As expected.

Destiny's Chosen with high base heavenly mandate points always have great Opportunities attached to them.

"Kong Wu Dao..."

Shangguan Wenqin's Face was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

She glared fixedly at the suddenly appearing Kong Wu Dao, squeezing these three words out from between her teeth.

Yu Xiaoyao had designs on her Opportunity, and now Kong Wu Dao had to come and join the fun!

In such a situation, how could she possibly keep this Opportunity that was within her grasp?

Beside her, Yu Xiaoyao's eyes darted around.

Then, he stepped forward, cupped his hands toward Kong Wu Dao, and said: "Divine Son Kong Wu Dao! I was blinded by greed before and have offended you greatly!"

"It was that Shangguan Wenqin who has always hated you; I have never thought of making an enemy of Divine Son Kong Wu Dao!"

"I am willing to assist Divine Son Kong Wu Dao in capturing this culprit who offended you!"

"If Divine Son Kong Wu Dao is still not satisfied, I am willing to offer all means of compensation to make up for my previous offense!"

Although directly surrendering and admitting defeat like this was very shameful and did not fit his usual style, but, compared to so-called dignity and Face, one's life was naturally the most important thing!

He had already consumed a portion of his Origin blood essence to escape earlier.

He temporarily could not use the Divine Ability to burn Origin blood essence to open a spatial passage again.

If he stubbornly went up to clash head-on with Kong Wu Dao... he would definitely die without a doubt!

After much consideration, the safest and most advantageous solution was to completely distance himself from Shangguan Wenqin.

Then, offer an apology with the most sincere and earnest attitude to seek a glimmer of survival!

After all, in Yu Xiaoyao's view, he didn't have much hatred toward Kong Wu Dao.

At most, it was just a tiny, insignificant grievance due to some inexplicable reason.

Before Kong Wu Dao could speak, Shangguan Wenqin, hearing these words, was furious, her eyes turning red.

"Yu Xiaoyao! Are you even a man!?"

"I even gave myself to you previously, handing over my first Yuan Yin to you, letting you take all the advantage, yet now that the situation is slightly wrong, you're thinking of retreating and saving your own skin!"

"You really are a dirty, disgusting piece of trash!"

Being humiliated to his Face while being pointed at, Yu Xiaoyao was equally enraged.

Completely disregarding that Kong Wu Dao and the others were still nearby, he began arguing with Shangguan Wenqin without any decorum.

"Hmph! If I hadn't helped you, do you think you could have escaped from there alive?"

"For you, I burned an extra portion of Origin blood essence! What wrong did I do by taking some interest back from you?"

Seeing the two arguing and blaming each other in such an ugly manner, Kong Wu Dao sneered in his heart.

"Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways"—this saying was indeed true.

Only when it comes to life-and-death interests can one peel back the essence of things and see the inner human nature clearly.

But, to be fair, compared to those so-called Destiny's Chosen who possess noble characters, he appreciated this kind of realistic and self-interested guy like Yu Xiaoyao even more.

Although his behavior was a bit ugly, if this guy didn't die today, he would definitely go further than anyone else.

Compared to Kong Wu Dao, who was full of schemes, the relatively innocent Nangong Xinyue on the side slightly opened her cherry-red lips.

Eh!

Having a relationship with a man she'd known for less than a few days, and even giving up her first Yuan Yin... Shangguan Wenqin was too bold!

But come to think of it...

Counting her time in slumber, she and Kong Wu Dao had known each other for a million years.

Their relationship's progress seemed to be slower than that of Shangguan Wenqin and Yu Xiaoyao, who had only known each other for a few days.

Just then, the two, who were arguing and cursing at each other, suddenly felt the entire space solidify.

A force of Divine Power, destructive and overwhelming, shattered the Void Realm and came crashing down on their heads!

"Not good!"

The two exclaimed and looked up in shock.

Boom!!

A golden palm print that blotted out the sky crushed the Void Realm as it descended!

The palm lines were clear, and it was even wreathed in the destructive aura of Chaos, like the palm of the heavens, suppressing the world!

The two had not expected that Kong Wu Dao would attack directly without any warning.

But their reaction speed was also extremely fast.

They immediately channeled all their cultivation to resist.

Rumble!!

The golden palm print collapsed downwards, the Chaos aura contained within it as heavy as ten billion tons!

While easily shattering their Divine Abilities, it slammed them directly into the depths of the ground!

"Pfft!"

The two spat out large mouthfuls of blood almost simultaneously.

Even their skin, under the suppression of this terrifying power, began to crack inch by inch, creating countless heart-stopping fissures!

A life-and-death crisis suddenly welled up in their hearts.

Yu Xiaoyao subconsciously took out an ancient talisman from his bosom and crushed it; ancient Laws wrapped around his entire body, preventing him from being crushed to death by this palm.

"Xiaoyao, save me!"

But Shangguan Wenqin, on the side, clearly did not have such good luck.

She didn't have many trump cards to begin with.

Plus, she had already exhausted most of them when entering the ruins, so she was completely unable to resist this palm from Kong Wu Dao.

She could only let out a desperate cry toward Yu Xiaoyao.

But Yu Xiaoyao was like a mud bodhisattva crossing a river—he couldn't even save himself; where would he get the ability to save her?

He scrambled in a wretched state toward the area not covered by the giant palm.

But he was still hit on half his body, and his left arm was blown to pieces!

The terrifying Divine Might of the Laws instantly surged into his body, causing excruciating pain throughout; his internal organs shattered inch by inch, and he didn't know how many bones had broken!

Fortunately, Kong Wu Dao did not focus his attention on him.

After shattering their defensive Divine Abilities, he turned and reached out to grab Shangguan Wenqin!

"Lord Divine Son, spare me!"

"I was wrong before! I shouldn't have hated Lord Divine Son!"

"I am willing to offer my loyalty to Lord Divine Son!"

Shangguan Wenqin, having no power to resist, was directly grabbed and suppressed by the giant golden hand.

Even though the giant hand had not completely closed, the pressure from her entire skeleton made her feel suffocated and in immense pain.

"Loyalty?"

Kong Wu Dao sneered.

"Why would I need the loyalty of the dead?"
