Su Yi twisted his neck, surrounded by a surging aura of fire elemental energy. His intention to kill was evident as he coldly stared at Nangong Hange. Clearly, he had no intention of answering Nangong Hangeâs question. Su Yi asked in a heavy voice.
"Why do we have to do this?"
Nangong Hange made up his mind, and behind him was a floating island. He couldnât go in with just the power of the stars in his body. The only feasible way was to kill Su Yi and the Demon Emperor behind him. He clenched his teeth.
"Blame that stupid Luan Shuo for ruining the whole plan!" Nangong Hange cursed silently in his heart. Even though Luan Shuo was already dead, he still felt unsatisfied thinking about the flaw caused by him.
Nangong Hangeâs dark and sharp eyes were full of determination as he looked up at Su Yi.
"Su Yi, if it werenât for my constant desire for the secrets on your body, do you think you would still be alive?"
Su Yi smiled slightly and said quietly.
"So, you mean I should thank you?" Then, his body surged with the element of fire. He raised his right hand to the sky, preparing for a complete end.
"Wait!"
Nangong Hange raised his hands above his head, signaling to pause, and said in a low voice.
"Donât you want to know why? If you let me go, I will tell you everything!"
Su Yi couldnât help but laugh when he heard this. At the last moment, Nangong Hange was still negotiating with him, raising an eyebrow.
"Do you think youâre qualified to discuss these things with me?"
Nangong Hangeâs hands trembled slightly, and his gaze flickered. He said heavily, "If you let me go, I will tell you all of the plans and how to reach the final island!"
"Oh?"
Su Yi pondered for a moment, lifting his hand to stroke his chin. This was worth considering.
Because of Tang Wangâs sake, Su Yi couldnât completely kill Nine Star Valley. If he could make Tang Wang give up and understand what kind of person Nine Star Valley and Chen Yao were, just based on the matters involving Nine Star Valley and the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat, Nine Star Valley could die a hundred times over.
This place was abundant in resources and had long been occupied by Nine Star Valley. Therefore, Nine Star Valley had deep knowledge of this place. Nangong Hange was scheming, and he might really know something.
Immediately, Su Yi transmitted his energy to Ying Ming, asking him to inform Tang Wang to come to the Long Sky Path. The Green Emperor and Yang Ming would be on opposite ends, ready to pounce on Nangong Hange.
"Itâs not that we canât consider it, but tell me what you know first, so I can decide if itâs worth risking your life for!"
Nangong Hange felt a wave of anger in his heart, furrowing his brows, and reluctantly said with a buzzing voice, "At first, the valley lord and I were both eyeing the many secrets on your body, intending to capture you. However, Director Tao was so brazenly open about it that the valley lord became furious and planned todayâs grand event at Sealed Thunder Valley."
Su Yi already knew all this, knowing that Chen Yao had ulterior motives behind his enthusiastic invitation, all aimed at himself.
"Is what Chen Yao said about the signs real?"
Nangong Hange nodded lightly and smirked a little.
"Everything that happened afterwards was simply a coincidence. Before the opening of the Garuda Secret Realm, Chen Yao sensed the signs. But because his cultivation level was not high enough to enter Sealed Thunder Valley alone, he thought of you. Thatâs why he had to make you enter the valley. He must have seen you once before."
Su Yi nodded slightly, feeling puzzled about how he knew, but gestured for Nangong to continue.
"So why did they reveal the secret of the Starshine Token to other sects?"
"The valley lord hopes that someone can come in and see the current state of the ancestral master. If that person is you, they will kill you within the disastrous sea and steal your secrets. If you canât enter, I suggest Chen Yao advises each sect to fight each other for the Starshine Token. That way, you can also die in Sealed Thunder Valley, causing internal strife. It would be even better!"
After laughing wickedly, Nangong Hange seemed very satisfied with his thoughts.
After listening, Su Yi felt a bit scared. No wonder Chen Yao agreed to let him freely pick within the secret realm. Whether he could enter the Nine-star Disastrous Sea or not, he believed he had to die.
All the plans were interlocking. If they were successfully executed, the early prediction of the Nine-star Anomaly could be resolved, and he would be buried in the Nine Star Valley. It would be killing three birds with one stone, causing chaos in the Chaos Realm. Countless thoughts crossed Su Yiâs mind like galloping horses.
Su Yi could understand the first two parts, but chaos in the Chaos Realm? Whatâs the benefit?
Does the Nine Star Valley really have the ability to challenge Cangyun Temple?
Su Yi calmed down. He understood Chen Yaoâs plan, but there was still a crucial point that he hadnât figured out.
"Then why didnât you follow the plan and listen to Chen Yaoâs words to monitor me?" Su Yi continued to ask.
Thinking of this, Nangong Hange furrowed his brows and scolded angrily.
"Who knows the rules of the Sealed Thunder Valleyâs space? Because of the anomaly, everyone appeared in different places. We searched everywhere, but couldnât find your presence. In order to seize the opportunity, we could only let that foolish Luan Shuo kill you if he could. But he actually overlooked you!"
Thinking of the departed Luan Shuo, Nangong Hangeâs joints creaked.
"To make it easier for Luan Shuo, Iâve already replaced all the guards of Star Shine Domain and Thunder Drum. Do you think you can easily walk away?"
Su Yi immediately understood, it was all greed. Nangong Hange, driven by his selfish desires, allowed his own brother to enter Sealed Thunder Valley, only to end up outsmarting himself.
"This person cannot be kept, as he is too cunning! It seems like he hasnât revealed the whole truth yet," Ling Qianxue said softly.
Instantly, Su Yi moved his palm and looked down at the boundless sea of clouds below. No matter how many skills and cultivation he had, if he were to fall, it would be a complete disaster.
Indeed, Su Yi sensed something. Letting Su Yi enter the disastrous sea and seizing the opportunity and secrets on Su Yiâs body was Chen Yaoâ plan, which also aligned with Chen Yaoâ character.
But causing chaos by leaking the Starshine Token, changing the guards, and having Luan Shuo monitor for surprise attacks from behind, these should all be Nangong Hangeâs ideas.
Su Yiâs mind spun, who exactly is Nangong Hange? A monstrous City Master at the Seventh Grade of Yuan Emperor Realm is already suspicious, yet Chen Yao seems to hold him in high regard.
Thereâs only one question, who is Nangong Hange? How does he have such great power?
"Why does Chen Yao listen to you so much?"
Nangong Hange hesitated for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural, and then he said.
"Chen Yao is so foolish that he doesnât listen to me. Heâs nothing! A useless person!"
At this moment, Tang Wang had already walked closer with Ying Ming, his hair flying and his expression very serious, angrily rebuking.
"How could someone like you, with a wolfâs heart and dogâs lungs, appear in my Nine Star Valley? The Valley Master is noble and ambitious, how could he listen to your commands, you wicked and greedy person!"
Upon hearing these words, Nangong Hange burst into laughter, his eyes wide and his laughter echoing through the cliffs.
"Chen Yaoâs cultivation is lowly, could he have brought Nine Star Valley to where it is today on his own? If the leader is not upright, then the subordinates will be crooked. Your Nine Star Valley has been a joke since its founding!"
