Crisis at Hand, a Silver Tongue!

After hearing Duan Tianya's words, the Yutian True God Heaven remained calm, his gaze falling on Chen Ning. He said, "You heard it too. My disciples said you have a conspiracy and are colluding with the Unknowing Island. How do you explain that?"

"That's right. If there was no collusion, why did you land on the island for no reason?"

Duan Tianya looked at Chen Ning with hostility in his eyes.

Fortunately, he returned in time.

We can confront this guy directly.

In this way, his merits and demerits would be balanced, and his master wouldn't blame him too much for not doing a good job.

"I went to the Unknowing Island to retrieve medicine."

"If you really were after the medicine, why did you leave without even taking it? You weren't after any miracle drug; you were after the formula. You and Qi Yu from Unknowing Island must have something on your mind."

Duan Tianya approached step by step.

At this moment.

The Yutian True God also spoke up, "Indeed, since you're after my Azure Lotus of Life, why would you go to the Unknowing Island for a divine medicine?"

The words were finished.

A terrifying pressure descended upon Chen Ning's head.

Facing the interrogation of an Upper God.

It's absolutely suffocating.

And.

If anything goes wrong, it would be incredibly easy for the Yutian True God to kill him.

Duan Tianya gradually became smug.

He wanted to see how the other party would explain themselves.

It turns out he offered the formula to ask his master for medicine, which contradicts his own actions. Therefore, he definitely didn't go to the Unknowing Island for the divine medicine.

Duan Tianya looked at Chen Ning smugly, thinking to himself, "So what if you have Mao Chunqiu protecting you? So what if you can keep the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southern Territory from attacking? In the end, I still win."

Under such immense pressure...

Chen Ning bowed to the Yutian True God and calmly said, "My lord, I went to the Unknowing Island not to seek medicine."

"Master, he has confessed. He did indeed collude with the Unknowing Island. Please execute him immediately, or I may do it myself."

Duan Tianya was eager to try.

The Yutian True God remained calm.

Chen Ning then said, "I'm not doing this for the medicine, but for my own future!"

"Future?"

Duan Tianya was taken aback.

Chen Ning said, "The Ancient God World is so dangerous that even people like Bai Ruyu died there. How could Qi Yu possibly survive with his strength?"

Duan Tianya sneered, "He survived because he was always with you, wasn't he? With you protecting him, it's not surprising he survived."

"That's right. Then I'd like to ask, why would I protect him in such a dangerous place? We've only just met."

"Hmph! Everyone knows that. Qi Yu said there's a miraculous medicine on the island that can save your life, that's why you're protecting him."

"How on earth did you become the master's foremost disciple? How could you be so foolish?"

"What did you say?!"

Duan Tianya was furious.

Chen Ning said, "I'm telling you, you're stupid. You really think he only promised me a divine herb? That was just a pretense, something he said to others. In reality, he promised me a Divine Spark Fruit!"

"Impossible!"

Duan Tianya's expression changed.

Chen Ning laughed, "What's impossible? There's only one Azure Lotus of Life in the entire Dragon-Tiger Realm, and it's right here with you, sir. How could Qi Yu possibly fool me? Don't forget, even the Qilin True God treats me with special regard. How could I not know?"

"No... nothing's right..."

Duan Tianya said, "Even if he promised you Divine Spark Fruit, what you've brought you is the Divine Fruit recipe. How could he possibly give it to you? Absolutely not!"

That's why I say you're stupid...

Chen Ning shook his head helplessly and said, "Originally, all I wanted was a Divine Spark Fruit, but the Unknowing Island suddenly underwent a major change. Following the communication method agreed upon with Qi Yu, I managed to get rid of Yuan Xifeng and your disciples, and thus met Qi Yu. He said that the Divine Spark Fruit are no longer available, and they have all fallen into the hands of the Crimson Refinement True God. He is even in a precarious situation."

"But I've gone to great lengths to protect him, only to gain nothing in return. How could I possibly accept that? I realized this was a golden opportunity. If I could get the recipe for the Divine Spark Fruit from him, I should be able to obtain the Azure Lotus of Life from the Master, and perhaps... even secure a bright future for myself!"

"So... you tricked Qi Yu out of this recipe?"

The Yutian True God spoke and asked.

"To answer your question, sir, it wasn't exactly deception. I explained all the pros and cons to him and reached a cooperation agreement with him!"

Tell me about it.

"I told him that if he didn't give me the formula, the final result would be that the Unknowing Island would be controlled by the Crimson Refinement True God, and Qi Yu and his master would forever remain mere tools."

"But if you give me the formula, I will personally present it to you, sir. At that time, I will take over the control of the Unknowing Island in place of the Crimson Silk True God, thus giving the Unknowing Island a chance."

What opportunity?

The Yutian True God asked with a light laugh.

"A chance for revenge."

Chen Ning spoke up, "Now that the Crimson Silk True God has sealed off Unknowing Island and sent several God Realm to interrogate him and his master, treating them like prisoners, he naturally harbors resentment. I will amplify his resentment and offer him a chance for revenge. As long as Unknowing Island can cooperate with me, serve the Lord, continuously produce Divine Spark Fruit, and gain the Lord's trust, Qi Yu will have the opportunity for revenge!"

"You are indeed as Tianya said, resourceful and wise." Yutian True God laughed heartily.

Chen Ning also laughed and said, "I'm afraid Brother Duan would say I'm full of tricks."

"It's all the same. Whether it's scheming or trickery, as long as the goal is achieved, that's enough."

The Yutian True God seemed to be in a good mood.

At this time.

Duan Tianya said anxiously, "Master, this person cannot be trusted! He's a smooth talker; what if he's colluding with Qi Yu...?"

"Brother Duan, do you think the magistrate has no judgment on right and wrong? Does he need you to remind him? Do you think you see things more clearly than he does?"

"I did not mean that!"

Duan Tianya showed a hint of panic.

The Yutian True God turned his gaze to Duan Tianya, saying with slight displeasure, "Go back and reflect on this matter. If you didn't handle it well, you didn't handle it well. If Chen Ning hadn't persuaded Qi Yu, and things had gone according to your plan, Unknowing Island would have been wholeheartedly loyal in the future, but instead would have become a destabilizing factor."

As he spoke.

He looked at Chen Ning and smiled, "You've done a good job. Now that you have a plan, you'll be in charge of contacting Unknowing Island from now on. Qi Yu and his master are both extraordinary people. Even without the Divine Spark Fruit, the value that Unknowing Island can create is considerable. You should make the most of it."

"Thank you, sir!"

Chen Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Actually.

This is the outcome that the Yutian True God wanted to see.

As someone in a superior position, Chen Ning doesn't really want to see everyone united. His scheme directly puts Unknowing Island and Crimson Refinement True God at odds.

The Yutian True God was delighted with this outcome.
