Please Help Us, Senior
Hearing Lu Changzhi's words, the chill in Jin Wuliang's eyes was almost tangible.
If it weren't for the melon rind protecting them, that gaze would seem capable of erasing a person at any moment.
He wasn't in a hurry to make a move at this moment, but this damned kid was really getting on his nerves.
This melon rind is indeed quite remarkable; it was actually able to block his attack.
He wasn't worried that the Artifact Spirit knew the truth; even if it did, it couldn't do anything to him.
On the contrary, with just a thought and a little effort, he could make A Luo disappear completely from this world.
But for now, he doesn't want to do that.
The Power of Time is here. If this World in the Painting were to vanish, it is unknown whether this Power of Time would continue to exist.
If it weren't for that, how would this kid have had the chance to bother me?
At this moment, A Luo looked over and asked.
What truth?
Lu Changzhi smiled slightly, then raised his hand and waved it, and the scene he had just seen appeared in front of him.
Everyone's attention immediately turned to that scene, and what they saw was none other than Jin Wuliang fighting against a male figure.
Upon seeing this, A Luo's expression immediately changed, as if he simply couldn't believe it, and he turned to look at Jin Wuliang.
The scene in the picture changes rapidly, and the two are clearly not evenly matched.
But soon, the man's figure was at a disadvantage, and he disappeared completely, eventually turning into an object.
And part of it is exactly the same as the stem that just came out of the melon.
Then, with the pen broken, the confrontation between the two sides came to a complete end.
Seeing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Jin Wuliang and A Luo, with most of the attention going to A Luo.
They wanted to see how the Artifact Spirit, who knew the truth, would react.
As expected, just as they had imagined, A Luo was clearly quite shocked at this moment, her gaze still fixed on the place where the scene had just appeared.
In contrast, Jin Wuliang's reaction was much calmer, and he even seemed to have lost his earlier displeasure, now also waiting for A Luo's reaction.
After some more time, A Luo finally turned her gaze to Jin Wuliang again and asked, almost word by word.
"Why?"
Everyone looked at Jin Wuliang and heard him speak.
"It's all for this Power of Time."
Hearing this answer, most of the people present were somewhat surprised.
The old man's reaction was a little too composed.
However, Gu De knew very well that the old man probably didn't care about these things at all.
The annoyance I felt earlier was merely due to some unexpected events, and probably not the issue itself.
After all, if you have the advantage in strength, why should you care about the emotions and reactions of a weaker person?
"You're willing to use any means necessary to gain the Power of Time?"
A Luo's words now carried a hint of accusation.
Jin Wuliang remained unconcerned.
"Since it has already happened, why bother digging into it? If you want him back, the only way now is to cooperate with me and let me control the Power of Time."
Otherwise, you will never have the chance to see him again.
After Jin Wuliang finished speaking, he looked at A Luo.
At this moment, everyone present understood why the old man had suddenly stopped caring.
Yes, ultimately there is a significant gap in strength between them.
Even anger doesn't seem to change anything.
A Luo didn't speak, but stared intently at Jin Wuliang.
Suddenly, everyone felt a power flowing and gathering in the surrounding world.
Although it wasn't very obvious or intense, one could vaguely sense a sense of pent-up energy.
This sparked a sense of anticipation in many of those present, who secretly wished:
Let's fight! Let's fight!
Both sides are stronger to them.
If the two of them were to fight, it seems certain that they would not be able to escape this World in the Painting today.
However, if the two forces clash, it could very well create an opportunity for them, giving them a greater chance of safely leaving the World in the Painting.
At this moment, Jin Wuliang lightly stomped his foot.
Instantly, the feeling of power gathering in this space vanished without a trace.
He looked at A Luo and said calmly.
"If you make a move, I won't kill you."
"You will always exist, forever separated from him by Celestial Person. Have you thought this through?"
A Luo's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
This Venerable One is far too powerful, far surpassing them. If A Diao were here, the two of them joining forces might still have a chance to fight him in this World in the Painting.
But now that A Diao is gone, and it's just me alone, I really can't do anything to the other side.
But since the other party has already done such a thing to A Diao, how can he do nothing?
Just as A Luo Celestial Person was fighting, Jin Wuliang asked a question.
"Is he more important, or are the people here more important?"
Upon hearing this, Gu De looked at A Luo.
This statement strongly implies that the speaker is offering a way out.
If the Artifact Spirit didn't have such a strong desire to take action, then the answer to this question would be obvious.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but frown.
But if that's the case, then we still have to take action against them.
The old man was fully capable of killing them, but judging from the current situation, he was clearly using them as tools.
Moreover, based on his experience, there's a 90% chance that the Artifact Spirit will choose to attack them.
Gu De immediately turned his gaze to Li Baimei.
Quite some time has passed, and Li Baimei has remained silent since showing that scene, seemingly doing nothing.
The broken pen and the image displayed were of little practical use.
At this moment, the entire World in the Painting trembled, and the oppressive feeling that everyone had previously sensed reappeared.
In an instant, everyone understood— the Artifact Spirit of the World in the Painting seemed to intend to follow it.
"But if that happens, we're doomed!"
Someone's expression changed, and they called out in Li Baimei's direction.
"Please, senior, help me!"
It's clear they have absolutely no chance of making a move right now; their only hope lies with this person from the Huaxia Sect.
His shout instantly brought a glimmer of hope to everyone in the darkness of panic.
In an instant, regardless of the consequences, everyone shouted out in unison.
"Please, senior, help me!"
The sound was like a tidal wave, and in just a few moments, the crowd's voices went from being noisy to becoming unified.
"Please, senior, help me!"
"Please, senior, help me!"
Hearing the commotion, Gu De gave Li Baimei a deep look.
Li Baimei's current situation is something he never expected.
I never imagined that one day, even my safety would depend on whether Li Baimei would make a move.
