Ah Yin was silent.
She lowered her head, her veil rising and falling slightly with her breathing, and the expression on her beautiful face changed.
Shock, surprise, disbelief, and an indescribable relief and relaxation were intertwined in her heart.
It turns out...
That's right.
It turns out that in the eyes of the true inheritors of the gods, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Soul Bone is nothing more than that.
They have better choices and higher pursuits.
The value that I have always regarded as a treasure and a reminder of life seems to the other party...
It is not as irreplaceable as imagined.
This cognitive subversion made the big stone in her heart seem to loosen a little.
But new questions also emerged.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes became calm again, looked at Ye Qing, and asked the most important question:
"Since... you don't value the things on me that much."
"Then Sea Dragon, why do you want to take me away?"
"Later, why did you not hesitate to unite with the Spirit Hall and completely turn against the Clear Sky Sect for me, even to such an extent?"
Ah Yin's voice was filled with deep confusion:
"Is it... just to lend me and Spirit Hall's hands to attack or even destroy Clear Sky Sect?"
She couldn't understand, so without waiting for Ye Qing to answer, she frowned slightly and continued to ask:
"But... you Sea God Island and Clear Sky Sect didn't seem to have any deep hatred before this, right?"
There may not even be any intersection."
"If that's the case, why do we spend so much money to target them?"
This is something she has never figured out.
Ye Qing's behavior does not seem to be as simple as taking back her trophy.
At the same time, on the other side.
The night is already deep.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, this building complex that symbolizes the highest power and glory of the Heaven Dou Empire, looks particularly quiet and solemn in the night.
The towering palace walls, patrolling guards, sentries in the dark, and the vaguely palpable aura fluctuations belonging to the powerful Soul Master formed a defense network that was difficult for ordinary people to overcome.
However, for a Titled Douluo level expert, this seemingly tight defense is simply extremely weak.
There is no difference between playing house with children.
Although it is simple, Sea Dragon Douluo's mood at this moment is extremely complicated.
Feeling aggrieved, depressed, unwilling, and a little bit ashamed.
Think of him as a dignified Sea God Island Second Worship, level ninety-four Titled Douluo, a being who can make huge waves rise in a sea area just by stamping his feet on the sea.
Now he is acting like a thief, taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds to sneak into someone else's treasure house to get an antique that others may not value!
What the hell is this?
If word gets out, does Sea Dragon Douluo want to hang out with Soul Master World?
If those old enemies know about it, why don't they laugh it off?
But when he thought of Ye Qing's threat of "If you dare not go, I will tell Lord Bo Saixi", and Bo Saixi's calm eyes that were enough to give him nightmares...
The moment Sea Dragon Douluo went to get Heart of the Sea God, Ye Qing stopped and turned to look at Ah Yin, who was standing beside him with a light veil and gentle eyes, and nodded and admitted:
"Sister Ah Yin, you are right. Before the incident of the Clear Sky Sect, we Sea God Island and Clear Sky Sect, who is far away in the depths of the land and is named after the hammer, really had no grudges. We may even have very few interactions."
"However, this does not mean that when we encounter some kind of opportunity that is worth fighting for, we will choose to turn a blind eye or give it up to others."
Having said this, Ye Qing chuckled and asked:
"Looking at the entire Soul Master World, let me ask, what opportunity is more important than a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
"Everyone is not a fool. They all know that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring means a jump in the combat power of a Titled Douluo, or even Super Douluo. Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is a rare treasure that can be encountered and cannot be obtained, enough to transform any Soul Master."
Ye Qing looked at Ah Yin's blue eyes that shone slightly behind the veil and said calmly:
"So, even if you take a step back, your Soul Ring Soul Bone may not be so indispensable to me personally."
"But as the leader of a force, neither I nor Sea God Island can just watch your opportunity, which is enough to make any force jealous, be easily taken away by others, especially by a force that is not an ally and may even cause conflicts in the future."
His tone became decisive:
"Opportunity is something that... the able ones live in! This is one of the most fundamental and naked rules of Soul Master World, and even the entire continent!"
"What's more, it was us, Sea God Island, who first discovered your identity and confirmed your value. So even from the underlying first-come-first-served rule, you should belong to us."
Ye Qing's voice rose a little higher, with a hint of unquestionable meaning:
"So, both emotionally and logically, after the Clear Sky Sect learns of our demands, he should obediently return you... intact to us!"
"Even if..."
"In order to achieve this goal, we relied on the power of the Spirit Hall. But so what? Leveraging strength is a manifestation of wisdom and strength. The result is the most important."
Speaking of this, Ye Qing's tone suddenly turned cold, as if he remembered Clear Sky Sect's bloody and humiliating play:
"But what's the result?"
"Tang Hao, the young master of the Clear Sky Sect, the future heir, what did he do when the matter was revealed and we and Spirit Hall came to the door together to demand an explanation?"
"He chose the stupidest and most arrogant way, which was to abscond with the treasure! He left his seriously injured father, his brother with a broken arm, and the sect on the verge of collapse, and ran away with you alone!"
"Do you know what it means when he runs away?"
Ye Qing's eyes were like ice as he looked at Ah Yin and asked.
"No, I don't know."
Looking at Ye Qing, she couldn't help but tremble.
She originally thought that since Angel God could break through the limits of human beings, she could ascend to the Divine Realm and gain immortality.
Then as the transformed self of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I should be able to do it too.
It turned out that she was overthinking it.
Not to mention the resources and background needed in the middle, even in terms of human nature and IQ, she is far behind.
If she had known this, she would not have chosen to transform, but would have stayed at Blue Silver Forest, trying to see if she could fight the 200,000-year catastrophe.
"It means that he doesn't take Sea God Island or Spirit Hall seriously at all!"
"He believes that as long as we have some scruples, scruples about his grandfather Tang Chen, whose life or death is uncertain but whose reputation still exists, and scruples about the possible consequences of a complete break-up..."
"We will choose to swallow our anger, choose to suffer this dumb loss, or even... choose to give up the pursuit!"
"He thinks he won the bet!"
"He thinks that he can use the lives of the Clear Sky Sect and the illusory remaining power of Tang Chen to kidnap us and make us take action, and in the end... nothing will happen!"
Ye Qing's voice was filled with a cold anger after being completely offended:
"But it turns out... they thought too much!"
