Xu Yi didn't want to argue with Purple Shadow. The chance to ask questions had been hard-won.
He said, "One last question: what will happen if the Yuan Shu Stele is fully lit?"
Purple Shadow said, "I don't know either. We'll just have to wait. If you want to know the answer, perhaps I can tell you when we meet again someday. You've asked your three questions. It seems you should be leaving now."
Xu Yi said, "You haven't answered anything. How can I leave? Besides, if I go, won't you be disappointed to have called for help in vain?"
As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, two streams of Sword Qi shot toward the southeast.
Two enormous figures had been hurtling toward them like lightning, but the two streams of Sword Qi forced them to slow down.
"You can actually sense the Chaos Demons in advance? All the more reason I can't let you live!"
Purple Shadow had never intended to let Xu Yi leave. If Xu Yi got away, wouldn't the secret he had painstakingly concealed for hundreds of years be exposed to the world?
Of the three questions he had answered, the first had been true.
The Yuan Shu Stele had come here with him—or rather, he had come here with the Yuan Shu Stele.
After hundreds of years of effort, he had only recently activated the Yuan Shu Stele. He had set up the mist and used a great number of Chaos Demons to seal off this area of the sky, all so that everything could be completed without anyone noticing.
Of course, he didn't mind if anyone discovered the Chaos Demons here or the cave that glowed with golden light.
Even Wang Lun and the others' escape had been partly due to his deliberate indulgence.
