The real reason … is heartache, right? You've nearly lost your rationality, "Haitang said exasperatedly.
"Lord Asura, huh? He should be someone worth entrusting the rest of my life to," Ji Xiuran murmured a long while later.
"Is it worth it?" Haitang asked after a while.
"What do you think?" Ji Xiuran narrowed his eyes.
"No matter how worthy someone is, it's not you." Haitang looked at Ji Xiuran, this man she couldn't see through in the slightest.
Pfft!
Ji Xiuran suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing this, Haitang supported Ji Xiuran.
Ji Xiuran was silent for a moment before slowly standing up and shaking his head. "I … don't have time."
"Just as Master Li said, right now … Every day is torture for you, right … Your powerful willpower comes from Worriless … After Worriless returns, is your wish fulfilled? You held on for so long just to see Worriless again …" Indescribable emotions welled up in Haitang's eyes.
Ji Xiuran remained silent.
"With your current physical condition, you can't fight at all, but when you fought Lord Asura last time … you were committing suicide. If it weren't for that, your body wouldn't have deteriorated so much," Haitang said.
"It's all the same." Ji Xiuran shook his head. "I said I don't have much time left."
"When they captured me, my illness just happened to flare up … Coming here is … the last thing I can do for Worriless."
The man's complexion was pale as he walked out of the cage step by step.
Haitang didn't say anything as she watched Ji Xiuran's departing figure.
Just what does this man want to do? What can he do with his current crippled body?
Haitang finally stood up and followed Ji Xiuran.
Inside a dilapidated house somewhere on the island:
Ji Xiuran slowly drove inside.
"Emperor Ji!"
There were about a dozen men and women inside the house, and they all stood up when they saw Ji Xiuran.
"Xiuran, how did you get captured?"
The leader stared at Ji Xiuran with an aloof expression and a slight frown.
The speaker was one of the Eight Gods under Emperor Ji and ranked number one.
No one had ever seen the number one Great God. Everyone knew that this number one Great God had entered this island many years ago.
"No need to ask. How's the investigation going?"
Ji Xiuran asked.
"The Martial Arts Union must want to monopolize the Independent State …"
A woman said after a long while.
"Continue."
Ji Xiuran asked.
"We found out on the island that the Direct Line and the Martial Arts Guild are working together …"
The number one god under Ji Xiuran spoke.
"Emperor Ji, you also know that the Direct Line has started to counterattack in recent years. They secretly lobbied the major families to defect to their side, and all those who refused to submit were assassinated in the end," the woman said with a frown.
"Everything was done by the Martial Arts Union. They're wildly ambitious, and the Independent State probably won't have peace anymore."
Ji Xiuran closed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."
It was true that the Martial Arts Union was related to the Direct Line, but they might not really obey the Direct Line.
"Emperor Ji, you mean …"
"The Martial Arts Union … interesting."
Ji Xiuran smiled faintly. "Perhaps the Martial Arts Union is protecting everyone."
As Ji Xiuran's voice fell, the dozen or so people present looked at each other.
Martial Arts Union?
Protecting everyone?
"Most of the factions on the island oppose the Direct Line. If the Martial Arts Union obeyed the Direct Line, they wouldn't be imprisoning them; they would be executing them."
Ji Xiuran said quietly.
