Zuo Lunhui?!
Everyone was utterly shocked.
Gu Sanxian and the others were equally astonished.
Though they were death slaves,
after Zuo Lunhui had completely abandoned everything related to the dead spirits, they had no way to maintain any connection with him.
Zuo Lunhui had actually come here as well?
"Hahaha..."
A wild, arrogant laugh suddenly rang out from the void.
Who else could that voice belong to but Zuo Lunhui?
"Qin Shaofeng, I truly underestimated you. You actually knew long ago that I had come here. But I really didn't come to fight you to the death," Zuo Lunhui said.
"I know."
Qin Shaofeng nodded in full agreement.
The moment those words left his mouth, Zuo Lunhui froze.
"You know?!"
"I know!"
Qin Shaofeng repeated himself. "Whether in the direction of our cultivation or in other aspects, you and I are very alike. Unless you have a sure way to kill me, then so long as you harbor even the slightest doubt, you could never fight me to mutual destruction."
"Correct. I still have great matters to accomplish. I truly cannot die together with you," Zuo Lunhui said, nodding in agreement.
"So, you remembered halfway through that you wanted to come see me—and, more importantly, take them back..."
Qin Shaofeng pointed toward Gu Sanxian and the others.
"That was indeed the case before, but now... I only want three people. Three people you are willing to release. What do you think?"
Knowing that his demand was excessive, Zuo Lunhui added, "That thing at Eastern Beginning is truly dangerous. At my peak, perhaps I could have brought it back for you while sustaining some injuries. But going there now would mean nine deaths and one slim chance of survival. I need a few scapegoats to die in my place."
"Those three."
