Capítulo 1762: Chapter 1763: Would Rather Die Than Retreat

Xiao Ting paused for a moment, then displayed a somewhat awkward smile.

“I understand, I understand…”

After leaving these words, Han Xiaotian glanced at Jiang Mo in the distance with interest. Once he was certain that the entire conversation had reached the ears of this old creature, he proceeded to leave, smiling without any further delay.

“Holy Envoy Han reminds you, Your Majesty’s task is not just to completely sever the Luo Clan’s lineage.”

Han Xiaotian turned to look at the Secret Envoy, whose theoretical status equaled his own, and calmly said, “Envoy Zigui, rest assured, I’m aware of the situation. Before coming here, I already arranged for people to move into the Luo Clan’s treasury. If there are no unexpected occurrences, that place should be our last stop here.”

The woman dressed in black nodded and then spoke, “Your targeting of Su Chengyu, is it not excessive?”

“Excessive?”

Han Xiaotian turned his head and questioned, “He shouldn’t be here to begin with. If he doesn’t interfere with our actions, it’s fine. But the plan he proposed clearly adds variables to our mission.”

“But he also presented something very enticing, considering Your Majesty’s character, might agree.”

“I know! That’s why I compromised, right? What more do you want from me?”

Han Xiaotian spoke with slight excitement. Secret Envoy Zigui wanted to speak but held back, leaving words unsaid.

Han Xiaotian then refrained from further outburst, “I admit I have some bias against him. But Lin Zigui, don’t forget that I’m the mission leader this time. Even if you have oversight duties, as long as I’m not wrong in the major direction, my personal preferences are none of your concern!”

“As long as you’re willing to take responsibility, proceed.”

Facing Han Xiaotian’s intimidation, Lin Zigui maintained a cold tone, casually dropped a remark, and opened the path to Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm, entering the passage with the others.

Han Xiaotian watched the slender figure disappear before him, his discontent now unmasked as he spoke with a sinister expression, “Someday, I’ll make you all regret it!”

With Han Xiaotian being the last to enter the portal, the Heaven Punishment Department’s team completed their withdrawal first.

“Alright, I’ve already arranged for the lesser skilled ones to leave first. The ones with better realms, I’ve instructed them to hold off those Guardian Beasts for a while.”

Having organized the Exotic Beasts’ withdrawal, Long Ao Tian quickly reported the situation to Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu nodded, having been observing the surroundings, naturally perceived the situation long before, so there wasn’t much to worry about.

Long Ao Tian looked towards Jiang Mo, who continued to watch them intently, puzzled, “Why hasn’t that guy left yet? Didn’t the Ancient Clan’s passage open too?”

Ling Xiao responded, “Someone’s got to stay behind. He’s probably, like us, holding off those Guardian Beasts for a while.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”

Su Chengyu spoke calmly.

Though he hadn’t heard the conversation between Han Xiaotian and Xiao Ting, Han Xiaotian’s quick retreat was a sure sign he was leaving a trap for Su Chengyu.

Now it seemed Jiang Mo was the trap left behind.

“Does that guy want to be mutually destructive with you?”

Su Chengyu nodded, “That’s likely the case. While you’re still here, he can’t act. Right now, he’s busy recovering from his previous exertion.”

Bai Qiu’s eyes flickered and said, “Then later, you leave first, and we’ll stay behind.”

Su Chengyu shook his head.

The human-formed Long Ao Tian placed a hand on Su Chengyu’s shoulder, “Hey, what’s with the formality? You’ve seen my and Bai Qiu’s Innate Divine Ability, hasn’t it? Once you leave, us catching up is a piece of cake.”

“I’m here too!”

Vermilion Bird Ling Xiao said irritably.

Though she also possessed her own Innate Divine Ability, the Vermilion Bird Clan’s abilities weren’t as convenient as Azure Dragon and White Tiger’s for moving in this area.

“You’re a part of the Vermilion Bird Clan; you wouldn’t really die at the hands of that character, right? If you do, I’d look down on you.”

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, looking at Long Ao Tian, “Someone whose mind was directly controlled can’t say such things to me.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? You don’t hit where it hurts, right?”

Being mentally controlled in Qinling is a sore spot for Long Ao Tian. Though partly due to underestimating, it has already become his reverse scale and he doesn’t want it touched easily.

“Did I say anything wrong?”

Ling Xiao retorted without backing down, leaving Long Ao Tian grinding his teeth, unable to act or argue.

“Alright, let’s not fight now. I’m not doubting you all, just planning to stay here a bit longer in case anything happens later. You all leave first then.”

“Stay a bit longer?”

Bai Qiu asked in surprise, then thought of something and turned towards the array Su Chengyu was guarding, “Is it because of Xu Nanzhi?”

Su Chengyu nodded, “Nan Zhi will likely take a while longer to come out. You all go first, and I’ll bring her out last.”

“How long?”

Bai Qiu asked cautiously.

Su Chengyu smiled, “Don’t worry, though it’ll be a bit later, I’ll definitely bring her out. I certainly won’t leave myself and Nan Zhi behind here.”

Bai Qiu’s expression tightened, Ling Xiao noticed an odd tension, but for a moment, neither spoke.

Long Ao Tian immediately spoke first, “Hey! It’s just waiting, isn’t it? If you want to wait, we’ll wait with you, since we’re not planning on staying anyway.”

His words stunned Su Chengyu, but before he could reply, Bai Qiu stated, “Right, if it’s just later, we’ll all stay. Don’t worry, we won’t hold you back.”

Su Chengyu was momentarily taken aback at their words, and upon seeing them, his resolve wavered slightly.

Sensing this, Ling Xiao spoke, “You really planned on staying with that woman till the end, didn’t you?”

Seeing his lie exposed, Su Chengyu chuckled bitterly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you. I just really didn’t want you all to continue risking for me.”

“How much longer for Xu Nanzhi, after all?”

Bai Qiu bluntly asked.

Su Chengyu shook his head, “I don’t know. I only know Nan Zhi will definitely come out!”

This wasn’t just Su Chengyu’s trust in Xu Nanzhi. The Green Hillock Empress’s promise and Xu Nanzhi’s determination were deeply felt by Su Chengyu despite his semi-unconscious state.

“But what if it exceeds a quarter-hour?”

“I stay here to gain that extra time!”

Su Chengyu spoke firmly, turning to look at the great array.

“When the time comes, I’ll use my own body as a shield, protecting the entire array until Nan Zhi emerges from it.”
