"I don't believe you at all," Yali gritted her teeth. She could already tell that both Xia Yi and Gu Yue had been eyeing the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well from the start.
If Xia Yi had picked the Lovesick Heartbroken Red Flower and Zang Xin, the passionate Douluo, hadn't been scheming, and had simply taken her and Xia Yi away, once they left, it would have been difficult for Xia Yi to use his memory to cross the illusion and bring Gu Yue back.
Unexpectedly, Zang Xin had created such a great opportunity for Xia Yi and Gu Yue.
Yali could only sigh helplessly, knowing that she couldn't convince Gu Yue. She turned to look at Xia Yi and once again tried to persuade him, "Xia Yi, what you're doing will cause chaos in the continent. Right now, there's the Abyssal Plane outside the continent and the Holy Spirit Church within, you really can't do this."
"It's fine, there's no one else here. As long as the three of us deny it to the death, Tangsect won't be able to do anything," Xia Yi said with a grin.
"Denial to the death." Yali's eyelids twitched. She really didn't know how Xia Yi could say such a shameless thing.
"Sister Yali, with that expression, are you planning to sell me out? Boo-hoo, I'm so heartbroken," Xia Yi said, putting on a sorrowful expression and wiping nonexistent tears with both hands.
"You!" Yali instantly didn't know what to say and could only grit her teeth, "What you're doing, isn't it a betrayal of Sister Yaozhu's kindness?"
"Stop using Yaozhu and the continent's peace to pressure me." Upon hearing Yali mention Leng Yaozhu, Xia Yi dropped his playful attitude and said indifferently, "Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have repeatedly targeted me. Today, I'm just collecting some interest. Besides, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well were formed because of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Look at the relationship between Yue'er and the Ice Fire Dragon King. Do you think the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well should belong to Tang Sect or to Yue'er? Yue'er is just taking back what was originally hers."
"Regardless of how the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well were created, they were a legacy left to Tang Sect by the Sea God," Yali retorted.
"Then you should ask your Sea God how he obtained the Ice Fire Two-Elemental Eyes," Xia Yi said coldly.
"Regardless, what you're doing is wrong. To put it mildly, you're stealing Tang Sect's property. To put it harshly, you're disrupting the peace of the continent," Yali said through gritted teeth.
"So, for the sake of the continent's peace, Yali Jie, you'll have to help us hide the truth. When you return and meet with Tang Sect, just tell them that the Sea God of Tang Sect manifested and opened the poison mist and illusion around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to let us leave. As for the disappearance of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, you don't know anything. As long as you stick to your story, Tang Sect will have no way to stop us," Xia Yi said with a hearty laugh.
"Xia Yi, when did you become so crazy, acting without regard for the bigger picture or consequences? Sister Yaozhu really misjudged you," Yali said, staring at Xia Yi with grief and anger in her eyes. Coldly, she added, "Stop trying to use the peace of the continent to manipulate me. If you want me to go along with you, forget it."
"Hehe, so now you understand what manipulation is," Xia Yi said, not angry but laughing. "Tang Sect and Shrek Academy used the power system of the Ocean-going Ship to trade with the Star Luo Empire, trying to keep me in the Star Luo Empire forever. You and your good student, Na'er, went to great lengths to try and kill me. Tang Sect issued a kill order against me, even though they promised to let me pick the Lovesick Heartbroken Red Flower, but then resorted to despicable methods to trap me and threaten Gu Yue. You didn't say anything about them not considering the peace of the continent. Now that I'm just helping Yue'er take back something that rightfully belongs to her, you accuse me of disregarding the peace of the continent. I want to ask you: Are you using the peace of the continent to manipulate me, or am I using the peace of the continent to manipulate you?"
"I..." Yali opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Xia Yi shrugged. He was just teasing Yali to make her realize who was manipulating whom.
To be honest, he wasn't afraid of Yali exposing this matter.
Gu Yue wasn't entirely wrong.
The main cause of today's situation was that Tang Xin had ill intentions and wanted to trap Xia Yi in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
As long as Xia Yi and Gu Yue stuck to their story that they simply took the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to leave, Tang Sect wouldn't be able to do anything.
After all, they were the ones who broke their promise and tried to trap Xia Yi.
Boom, boom…
A series of loud noises came from the ground being torn apart.
The valley where the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well were located had been forcibly pulled up from the earth.
"You should leave now," Xia Yi said calmly to Gu Yue.
As the valley where the Ice Fire Well were located was lifted from the earth, the surrounding illusion was also somewhat damaged.
Now, even Xia Yi could easily see through the illusion, let alone Yali.
"Xia Yi, it's not too late to stop now," Yali said, staring at Xia Yi, still unwilling to give up.
"Are you leaving or not? Don't blame me if you don't leave now," Xia Yi said indifferently.
"You..." Yali froze, staring at Xia Yi for a full minute. She didn't expect Xia Yi to threaten her. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Xia Yi, you've changed."
Without waiting for Xia Yi to respond, Yali leaped into the air and left.
She knew she couldn't stop Xia Yi and Gu Yue. Now that Gu Yue controlled the souls of two Extreme Douluos, she was no match for them.
What she needed to think about now were the consequences of this matter.
"Zang Xin, oh Zang Xin, this is your own doing, don't blame anyone else," Yali thought helplessly to herself. As soon as she flew away from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, she saw two enormous dragon bones carrying the Ice Fire Two-Elemental Eyes soaring into the air.
In the sky, there was a giant seven-colored cauldron.
The dragon bones carrying the valley containing the Ice Fire Well flew straight into the seven-colored cauldron and disappeared.
The next moment, the cauldron vanished into the void, leaving behind a huge pit several thousand meters in diameter.
"With the illusion gone, it won't be long before this pit is discovered. Tang Sect will never let this slide. I must inform Yaozhu to prepare," Yali didn't immediately contact Shrek Academy or Tang Sect, but instead contacted Leng Yaozhu from the Blood God Legion, explaining everything that had happened.
"You're done speaking? Once you're done, I'm hanging up," Leng Yaozhu's voice was flat, as though she didn't care about this matter at all.
"Yaozhu Jie, Tang Sect has already lost the Dragon Valley Small World, and now they've lost the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Aren't you worried this will cause internal strife in the continent?" Yali couldn't help but ask.
"Yali!" Leng Yaozhu called her name, her voice cold. "I asked you to help me make sure Xia Yi safely picked the Lovesick Heartbroken Red Flower, but you've put him in danger. You had no way of helping, and he saved himself. You should be apologizing to me for not being able to help, not complaining about Xia Yi."
"Yaozhu Jie, I know I have an unavoidable responsibility in this matter, but the only thing I want to say is that Xia Yi has changed. He's not the same Xia Yi he used to be," Yali gritted her teeth and said, "Even when he was angry before, I could always be infected by him when I saw him. He gave me the feeling of being carefree, a little mischievous but understanding, with a sense of the bigger picture. But just now, the feeling he gave me was like sitting on needles, like having thorns in my back, like having something stuck in my throat."
Yali paused, then added, "Yaozhu Jie, maybe I didn't express myself clearly, but I believe you'll understand what I mean."
"Yali! Stop spouting nonsense, don't make me sever ties with you!" Leng Yaozhu's voice turned icy.
"Yaozhu Jie, I'm not slandering Xia Yi. What I'm saying is the truth. I'm saying this for both you and Xia Yi's sake. If he really has changed, how will you two get along?" Yali explained.
"How I get along with him has nothing to do with you," Leng Yaozhu snorted coldly. "Sitting on needles, thorns in my back, something stuck in my throat—Yali, listen to me, don't use these words to describe my man, especially the way he made you feel. Sharp as a needle! A blade of grass! A fish bone! You still say you're not slandering Xia Yi. Hmph, only your Yun Ming would pay such close attention to these details."
After saying that, Leng Yaozhu abruptly hung up the soul communicator.
Yali was stunned at first, but as someone who was no longer a young girl, she quickly reacted.
"Damn it, Leng Yaozhu, you're more shameless than Xia Yi," Yali fumed, her anger reaching a boiling point.
At the same time, in the Blood God Legion.
"Yali, just stick to your self-righteous kindness. You and your Shrek Academy and Tang Sect don't consider the bigger picture, so why should my man compromise to consider the bigger picture?" Leng Yaozhu sneered, disdainfully snorting, "Hmph, Tang Sect, if you want to compete with my man, you're not worthy."
