Chapter 1008: People Talks
Xian Di shook his head at Ulrax. "Little Huang has explained the situation in your realm, and the old demon lord is one of my best friends, so I will help you guys. However, we will not be taking action anytime soon, especially since we have a critical matter at hand. For the time being, you guys can stay here, and I have prepared a special place for you, but I hope you don't leave that place even a step, or you will get us into trouble."
"I understand, Dwarf Lord." Ulrax then turned to his friends, who had also opened their eyes. He urged the other four demons to pay respect to Xian Di, so they immediately stood up and bowed slightly to him.
"That's good." Xian Di then turned to Shou Zhe, who immediately took the five demons away.
Shortly after they left, a woman appeared in front of Xian Di, and her unexpected presence really surprised him. "Why did you suddenly come here, Lu Yi?"
"Hehe." That made Lu Yi laugh softly, causing her breasts to bounce around. "I didn't expect that you would be so bold as to accommodate those demons. Are you sure that they won't cause trouble?"
"Does that mean you visioned they would cause trouble in my realm?" Instead, Lu Yi simply responded to Xian Di's question with a faint smile. "If they cause trouble, then I'll just have to kill them, right?"
"Haha." Lu Yi laughed at that once more, but she still did not tell Xian Di anything about the demons. "Zhu Ling and Jing Shen will be there in two weeks. Besides, Lei Zhong and the others will arrive in three weeks, so the results of the third prophecy will be determined soon. If they succeed in killing one of the mythical beasts by Ling Yun's side, then this universe will truly fall into endless darkness, which will last for a thousand years, according to Jia Yuyan."
"A thousand years?" Xian Di scowled upon hearing this, particularly considering that all the inhabitants of their universe would endure suffering for generations. "Then, what do you think we should do to prevent that from happening? We have already sent You Ya and the others there. Do you think they won't be able to stop Zhu Ling and Jing Shen?"
"No." Lu Yi shook his head at Xian Di. "They will arrive a week ahead of them, but Zhu Ling is stronger and Jing Shen is cunning, so I don't think they can stop them. That's why we only have one choice to stop the darkness from engulfing our universe, and we must sacrifice Ling Yun for the sake of everyone's future. I ordered one of them to do it before he goes berserk, or we will not have another chance."
Suddenly, another person appeared there, and they turned to the man who was walking towards them with raised eyebrows. "Lu Yi, I always knew you were much more cunning than Jing Shen, but I didn't expect you to make such a rash move. Unfortunately, your scheme will fail miserably, and you have already made a fatal mistake by asking one of them to kill Ling Yun."
"What do you mean by that, Hun Lingwang? Are you looking down on my abilities?" Lu Yi asked with narrowed eyes.
"I have never underestimated your abilities, but you are dealing with someone far more special than others." Hun Lingwang answered with a shake of his head. "You've never met Ling Yun in person, and Zhou Yu can't possibly give you detailed information about him. As for Jia Yuyan's abilities, they are still immature, so you don't know much about him. On the other hand, I've met him in person, so I know quite a lot about him, and I can tell you that he is the most special living creature in this universe."
Lu Yi did not deny Hun Lingwang's words, and she asked him again. "What do you know about Ling Yun? I know you don't care about other living beings, but we are doing all this for the safety of our universe, so you can help us by giving us useful information to stop him."
"Sorry, I won't tell you anything about Ling Yun, especially since I promised my old friend, and you should know that I am a man who always keeps his promises." Hun Lingwang's answer made Lu Yi and Xian Di frown, but they also knew that his character had always been like that. "I don't know who you ordered to kill Ling Yun, but I advise you to stop that person, or you will have to bear the deaths of hundreds or maybe thousands of people on your shoulders, especially since he is unkillable."
"What do you mean by Ling Yun being unkillable? Has he now become immortal?" It was Xian Di who asked Hun Linwang.
"Shouldn't you have heard about it from Jia Yuyan and Nu Wang?" Hua Lingwang returned the question, glancing sideways at Xian Di. "Luxuria's sacrifice of Invidia was not in vain, as Ling Yun already possesses true immortal energy in his body. This energy is growing stronger, and it will continue to do so until he becomes a true immortal like her. Besides, he still has some other special things that all living beings in this universe don't have; even I feel jealous of him. Anyway, it's up to you whether you believe me or not, but I've warned you about this matter, so you yourself will have to bear the consequences if you persist in your scheme."
After he said that, Hun Lingwang immediately disappeared from their sight, and Xian Di then spoke to Lu Yi. "Hey, that guy never cared about the fate of other living beings, but he purposely came here to warn you. That's why I believe it would be better if you heeded his advice and asked that person to cancel the plan. Otherwise, the situation could become even more chaotic if Ling Yun became enraged and killed that person.
Lu Yi nodded in agreement and contacted the person to cancel the plan immediately, but she had many questions about Ling Yun in her mind, and she decided to disappear from that place without saying goodbye to Xian Di.
"A powerful dragon with immortal energy in his body, huh?" Xian Di muttered to himself as he looked into the distance. "It seems that this universe will truly face great danger, and no one will be able to stop Ling Yun if that happens unless the immortals step in to stop him. However, they seem to have other intentions, and they probably won't stop him, so we have to deal with the bad situation ourselves."
After that, Xian Di gathered almost all the dwarves in his throne room and ordered them to prepare some things as soon as possible, a move that shocked everyone, including Shou Zhe. Even so, he himself felt unsure that his plans could prevent bad things from befalling his race, but he felt he had no choice but to do all that.

on top of an artifact, the fairy race leader, You Ya asked the centaur. "What are you thinking, Ban Zhou? Why is your expression so complicated?"
"Honestly, I didn't want to talk about this with anyone before, but I felt a little strange about Lu Yi's decision." You Ya immediately looked at Ban Zhuo with a questioning look. "At first, he ordered me to kill Ling Yun, but he suddenly changed his mind, and it happened because Hun Lingwang came to see him."
"Hun Lingwang?" You Ya was surprised to hear that name from Ban Zhuo's mouth. "Why did that selfish guy suddenly come to see Lu Yi? That's really unusual of him, especially since he never cared about anyone but himself. Moreover, I don't understand why she asked you to kill Ling Yun, especially when we were on our way to stop Zhu Ling and Jing Shen."
"You must have understood Lu Yi's character, right?" Ban Zhuo inquired with a heavy sigh. "He didn't believe that we would be able to stop Zhu Ling and Jing Shen, so he chose to make another decision, and Ling Yun's sacrifice is the best choice. However, she didn't tell me about Hun Lingwang's words that made her change her mind, and this matter made me uneasy, especially since she never changes her mind once she has decided on something."
"You're right." You Ya replied by nodding in agreement. Actually, I believe that sacrificing Ling Yun is the most effective way to prevent darkness from engulfing this universe, even if the second prophecy proves to be true. However, I can't possibly do it by myself, so I need your help to do it."
Ban Zhuo frowned after hearing You Ya's words. "Are you serious about killing Ling Yun?
"We have no other choice, right?" You Ya responded with a helpless sigh. "We only have two choices now: sacrifice Ling Yun or sacrifice countless people's lives."
Ban Zhuo did not immediately agree with You Ya. "For now, we will follow the original plan to stop Zhu Ling and Jing Shen, and we will use that method if we fail to stop them."
"All right then, I agree with that."
