The wind picked up. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The frosty snow began to drift down slowly again.
Tiny flakes landed on Bai Shuang’s eyelashes and melted away swiftly.
She stood motionless, gazing into the distance.
Tang Xian hadn’t expected that this most terrifying crisis would be resolved just like that.
“This distrustful nature really helped a great deal.
But will it come back again?”
Bai Shuang shook her head, then nodded.
[The Judge is suspicious, and as long as it doesn’t know my master’s situation, it dares not come again.
Moreover, it found this place only through the marks on you, using the power of cause and effect.
Now that the master has erased the mark of cause and effect, and the world is so vast, how could it find this place again?]
Upon hearing Bai Shuang say this, Tang Xian truly felt at ease.
Oddly enough, there seemed to be a high degree of trustworthiness to Bai Shuang’s words, naturally instilling courage in him.
During the most disheartening moment earlier, it had been Bai Shuang who came forth to comfort him.
But Bai Shuang at this moment, no longer had her previous composure.
Her tone also seemed very lonely and desolate.
Her figure transformed, and a graceful body slowly emerged, the demeanor of a noblewoman appearing before Tang Xian for the first time.
Although Tang Xian had long guessed that Bai Shuang could transform into a human, he was still extremely surprised to see it.
Because Bai Shuang’s face…instantly reminded him of his own mother.
Of course, not his birth mother, but Zhong Yao, who had raised him.
Zhong Yao’s face didn’t particularly resemble Bai Shuang’s, perhaps a sixty percent similarity.
Bai Shuang looked more mature, with an allure that only those who had experienced years could possess.
But no matter what kind of woman, in moments of sorrow, they all appear pitiful.
This particular similarity made Tang Xian hesitate for a moment.
Bai Shuang said:
“Come with me, I will take you to a place.”
“What about it?” Tang Xian pointed at the Kun Peng.
The Kun Peng was fortunate in its misfortune, returning to its peak condition under the effects of the Time Reversal.
Although Tang Xian knew that Kun Peng was not of the Judge’s lineage, having severed ties with the Judge, Kun Peng had also committed many evils.
While the two could cooperate against a common enemy, it was different in Baichuan City, which was home to countless humans.
There was also a significant grievance between Tang and Kun Peng.
“How you deal with it depends on your attitude.”
Tang Xian didn’t expect Bai Shuang to be so detached.
[I’m here for you!] shouted the Kun Peng.
“If you’re not a divine beast of the Judge’s caliber, theoretically speaking, Bai wouldn’t understand your speech.
I’ll translate for you.”
Tang Xian then explained the reason for Kun Peng’s breakup with the Judge.
In fact, Bai Shuang offering that feather was precisely to sever ties between Kun Peng and the Judge.
Although the task was seamless for Tang Xian, it was not easy.
If it weren’t for the eruption of the primal fog, Tang Xian would have found it very difficult to survive the Assault of the Thousand Beasts.
Subsequently killing the God of Stealth and dueling the Judge were also fraught with danger.
Bai Shuang said:
“If you want to keep it, then let it follow me.
If you think it should die, you can make your move now.”
Tang Xian weighed the implications in Bai Shuang’s words and suddenly realized that Bai Shuang was pushing all the choices onto him.
Even though he had recently made a big mistake by bringing the Judge to Baichuan City, the secret he was about to uncover was surely related to Galaxy, who had scared away the Judge.
If a third party knew this secret, it could significantly increase the potential crises for Baichuan City.
Kun Peng was a substantial force, but whether it should know the secret was something Tang Xian wasn’t sure of.
Bai Shuang seemed to have completely disengaged from these matters.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Tang Xian said:
“Bring it along.”
Bai Shuang nodded, not saying much.
[Why?]
Although Kun Peng didn’t understand what Bai Shuang said, it managed to guess the meaning from Tang Xian’s words.
Tang Xian said:
“While we do have a common enemy, you are not exactly good-natured.
But indeed, your abilities are very useful to me.
In fact, it’s proven that the Judge can not forcibly enter Spiritual Purgatory.”
Kun Peng said:
[Is this a case of interests first?]
“Only a community that combines both interest and emotion can be considered an ideal partner.
I just want to remind you that, in that battle where the beasts besieged me, the one who performed stronger than me was a human.
Such humans are not uncommon in this great city of Baichuan.
I have the Sea God’s legacy in the South, along with the power of the Sea God.
You should understand the gap between you and the Judge.
If you want vengeance, you must realize I am your greatest support.”
Tang Xian’s gaze was calm and profound, as if he could see right through Kun Peng.
He ended with:
“And after that siege, if I wanted to kill you, it would just be a matter of breathing, just like Bai Mansheng and Qing JiuYu were my enemies at one time, later submitting to me, and now they are my friends.
I have done not a few things for them, some of which you also know.”
Tang Xian’s words were half true and half false.
Yet not a word raised doubts in Kun Peng.
It had witnessed the scene where Qing Jiuye was torn apart by hand.
It had also seen the look Bai Mansheng gave Tang Xian.
The message from Tang Xian was simple: an enemy would die miserably in relentless pursuit.
A friend would be fiercely protected at all costs.
With such a contrast, the choice was not hard to make.
The difficulty lay in having the privilege to choose.
Tang Xian had given it that privilege, and Kun Peng didn’t hesitate:
[If the Judge could die, if I could avenge my master, my life would be yours.]
