YM778.TV Chapter 218 - 218 You and I Are Very Similar in Some Aspects
“You can do whatever you want, but when the Heavenly Saint Dynasty is in danger, I hope you can help—that’s all!”
“So I can get off work?”
Lin Ran smiled evilly and suddenly raised his voice. “Did you hear everything clearly?!”
Liu Ruxi was stunned. Just as she was wondering who Lin Ran was talking to, a voice suddenly replied coldly, “I heard everything clearly.”
This voice seemed to be a signal.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure swept over from afar and landed on the ground, turning into a young man in white who stared at Liu Ruxi with a dark expression.
“He Yue?”
When Liu Ruxi recognized the person, her expression instantly turned ugly. After Lin Ran retracted his surging sword intent, she immediately sensed cocoons gathering over.
“You did it on purpose?”
Liu Ruxi suddenly looked at Lin Ran with a dark expression!
Lin Ran shrugged his shoulders. In just a moment, white-robed figures surrounded outside the Taiji pattern. All the cocoons in Nanjiang Town were here.
The Taiji pattern that covered an area of more than a hundred steps retreated into the Yin-Yang Sword. Liu Ruxi was encircled. With so many Great Yong martial artists around, no matter how fast she was, she could not escape.
“I didn’t expect the scene to be so magnificent.”
Lin Ran looked around and smiled. Then, he looked at Liu Ruxi and said, “When you were talking to me just now, I used my internal energy to transmit your voice. Now, everyone knows that you have the intention of betraying the Great Yong Dynasty.”
Liu Ruxi said, “Tell me what’s your plan. You should know that they’re not my match.”
“I know. I just want to use them to stall you.”
Lin Ran replied honestly. Then, he looked at Liu Ruxi. “Did you notice? You and I are still very similar in some aspects.”
“Such as?”
“Like now. Even at a time like this, I still want to persuade you to stop. And at a time like this, you still want to continue with your plan.”
“In that case, we indeed have some similarities.”
Liu Ruxi nodded in agreement, and her gloomy expression seemed to soften a little. “That’s why neither of us can persuade the other.”
“Not necessarily.”
Lin Ran smiled and looked at the people around him. “I believe everyone knows that your town guardian is actually a spy from the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.”
The hundreds of people around them were silent, but Liu Ruxi could clearly feel that after Lin Ran said that she was a spy, the atmosphere became drastically tense.
Lin Ran continued as if he didn’t notice, “If I join forces with her—although it’s not necessary—we should be able to kill all of you in fifteen minutes, but the heavens are merciful—”
At this point, Lin Ran looked a little embarrassed. “You should have heard it just now. We have a huge difference in opinion, so I hope you can do me a small favor and let me bring her back to the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. After all, we have to settle our own matters in our own homes.”
As usual, no one spoke, but the clothes of some people in the crowd were already fluttering. That was a sign that they were about to attack.
“Don’t listen to him spouting nonsense!”
At this moment, Liu Ruxi suddenly shouted, “It’s true that I’m from the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, but His Majesty knows my background and still entrusted me with this task. This shows that His Majesty trusts me! But he—”
Liu Ruxi pointed at Lin Ran, her eyes suddenly turning fierce. “As the deputy general of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty’s Northern Border Garrison, this person sneaked into our country with the Heavenly Saint Emperor in disguise. His motives are self-evident.”
“Besides, you still need my pill. If you let him take me away, be ready to die!”
In an instant, more than half of the people in the crowd looked at Lin Ran aggressively.
Although they were very disappointed in Liu Ruxi, at least for the time being, Liu Ruxi was still on Great Yong’s side, while Lin Ran and the empress were undoubtedly the enemies.
Of course, Liu Ruxi’s threat was also an important reason why these people’s attitudes changed.
These people knew very well that if not for the fact that they happened to be chosen by Liu Ruxi, they would only be nameless commoners. Even if they would one day end up becoming a martial artist, they would never have reached where they were at this moment.
The oldest of them was not even 30 years old. To martial artists, this was the starting age for cultivation. However, they had what people dreamt to have from the get go and a bright future was beckoning them. No one was willing to give everything away.
Sensing the change in everyone’s stance, Lin Ran couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He looked at Liu Ruxi and coldly asked, “Are you determined not to let me and your daughter leave alive?”
“I just want to end those meaningless wars.”
Liu Ruxi smiled ambiguously and muttered to herself, “As for who will unify the world in the end, I don’t care anymore.”
Lin Ran’s heart sank. The situation he was most worried about had happened. After failing to convince the empress, Liu Ruxi had decided to pledge allegiance to the Great Yong Dynasty!
Liu Ruxi’s plan to produce an enormous amount of cocoons was rejected both by the late emperor and the empress because they had a bottom line that they could not cross. As for the current emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty, Xuan Wushang…
Lin Ran thought of Zou Hao’s miserable state and knew that Xuan Wushang definitely didn’t care if the means were evil as long as he could reach his end goal.
If such a person unified the world in the end, it would become a disaster for everyone.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran subconsciously tightened his grip on the Yin-Yang Sword. The majestic internal energy in his body began to circulate slowly. Although he didn’t know if the empress would forgive him, he knew very well that Liu Ruxi had to die.
“In that case…”
Lin Ran said in a low voice, his sixth level Half-Saint aura erupting. “Don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Countless figures turned into clouds and soared into the sky. Lin Ran was about to attack when a clear voice suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
This shout resounded through the entire battlefield. All the white figures stopped in their tracks. They recognized the voice. It was the young man who had been slashed into a bloody fog by Lin Ran!
