Yiluo Heavenly King gave a cold snort, abruptly raised his head toward Bai Yuqiong who was walking over, and said flatly: "Heavenly Master Bai, are you also going to rebel and make trouble for these maggots, like Meng Yungui?
" Behind him, the Ancestral Court's Southern Heaven Gate blazed with fire, suffused with boundless Dao might!
Bai Yuqiong did not look aside; she met Yiluo Heavenly King's eyes directly and said softly: "The Heavenly King's divine powers are supreme.
To subdue the rebel Meng Yungui and kill him would only soil the Heavenly King's hand. Let me do it. That wretch Meng is versed in numerology; one can never be sure he hasn't kept a trick.
" Yiluo Heavenly King raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile: "Heavenly Master Bai wants to personally execute the wretch Meng? I heard that the two of you came from the same Daoist school, senior and junior fellow disciples.
Can you bring yourself to do it?
" Bai Yuqiong stepped forward, came before Meng Yungui, drew a divine sword, and pressed it against his heart. Seeing her back turned to him, Yiluo Heavenly King became wary, quietly stepping backward lest she suddenly whirl and stab.
He was cautious by nature and did not quite trust Bai Yuqiong. Bai Yuqiong's gaze fell on Meng Yungui's face. Meng Yungui was actually smiling, looking up at her with a smile.
"Senior brother, why did you choose this moment to betray the Heavenly Court? " Bai Yuqiong's knuckles on the sword were white from excessive force; she lowered her voice, clenching her teeth: "This is not you! You cannot save the Southern Heaven!
" "I can.
They have stood up. " Meng Yungui coughed blood again and again, reached out and grabbed her sword, and with little by little force pushed it toward his own heart, gasping: "They still have hope. Junior sister, kill me. Then you can gain Yiluo's trust.
You can protect these clansmen who have awakened. You will have a chance to kill Yiluo. .
. " "There is no chance!
" Bai Yuqiong lowered her voice as much as she could, pulling the sword outward so that it would not pierce into his heart, and said in a sobbing voice: "I cannot stand against the Southern Heaven Gate, senior brother! I cannot stand against the two Shenwu Guards!
I cannot stand against Yiluo Heavenly King!
" "You can. " One of Meng Yungui's fingers broke, but still he used all his remaining strength, gripping her sword to stab it into his own heart, and grinned: "You asked me why I betrayed the Heavenly Court.
I will tell you.
Someone told me he had a dream. In his dream, humanity stood up, and once stood up, they would never kneel again.
He said that in his dream, humanity would no longer be slaves, no longer be food for gods and demons.
In his dream, humanity held its own fate in its hands. Such a dream. . . " The blood flowed out of his mouth; with blood in his mouth, his words were a little unclear: "I had it too.
When I became a god of humanity and ascended to the Heavenly Court, I carried such a dream.
Later I thought it was naive and forgot it. It was not until I came to the Southern Heaven and saw everything here that this dream was reborn like a demon in my Dao heart. " His tears fell one by one, and looking up at Bai Yuqiong, his eyes showed a plea: "Junior Sister Bai, it was only until just now that I realized this is not a demon in the Dao heart. In the past, I always thought about how to cultivate a numerological domain, but I could never succeed.
When this dream was reborn, it came naturally.
My fears in the past—those were the true inner demon. . . " His Adam's apple moved; he vomited great mouthfuls of blood, swallowing the rest of his words back into his belly. In the distance, Yiluo Heavenly King said coldly: "Heavenly Master Bai, what are you still waiting for? " Meng Yungui used the last of his strength, gripping Bai Yuqiong's sword and driving it into his own heart. Bai Yuqiong's palm trembled; this time she did not stop him.
