Lu Yue looked at Wang Guan in surprise.
The other party always had a lazy look, not paying attention to anything, as if he could not wake up from his slumber.
Even Wang Guan's voice sounded lazy and dispirited.
However, Wang Guan's current sleepy look was nowhere to be seen.
The fatigue in his tone was as if he had toiled for an entire day, and was extremely fatigued. He was not half-awake.
If the usual Wang Guan looked like he didn't have enough sleep, then at this moment, he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days straight.
Ever since Lu Yue met Wang Guan, this was his second time seeing him like this.
The first time was thousands of years ago, when Wang Guan learned that Yin Shiyang had joined the devil path.
Although they were heretics, Lu Yue and the other bigwigs of the Immortal Court would still pay attention to outstanding youngsters like Wang Guan and Yin Shiyang, even if their cultivations were low.
Reality had proven that the former Wang Guan had already surpassed the Immortal Court's immortals.
Hence, Lu Yue was especially concerned about Wang Guan's current abnormal state.
"Are you feeling sorry for Qu Su?" Lu Yue asked.
"A little," Wang Guan answered tiredly, "And for ourselves."
Lu Yue frowned when he heard this.
Wang Guan and Qu Su had been fighting against each other for thousands of years. Both of them were extremely talented individuals. In terms of individual strength, they could be considered as the two great geniuses of the heretics.
During the process of constant fighting, it was not impossible for feelings of admiration and sympathy to emerge.
Although Lu Yue did not have such experiences, he could roughly understand it. After all, everyone's temperament was different.
Compared to the other heretics, the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm experts had much more autonomy in their thoughts.
Hence, Lu Yue would not be surprised if Wang Guan felt sorry for Qu Su and was disappointed that his nemesis had perished in the hands of others. However, from the looks of it, the situation had exceeded his expectations.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, watch your words," said Lu Yue slowly.
Wang Guan laughed involuntarily, "The Blessed Lands of the White Lotus no longer has Qu Su. Whether the Immortal Court has me or not isn't actually important, right? Many Daoists believe that perishing together with Qu Su is the best outcome, right? "
"That's under the premise that we cleanse the White Lotus Infernal Devils and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord successfully transcends." Lu Yue said indifferently, "Otherwise, everything would just be a joke. How can there be a reason to separate from the family before success?"
"Yes, that's right." Wang Guan nodded, "Fellow Daoists, I'm sure you're all as clear as Fellow Daoist Lyu about this. I've indeed made a slip of the tongue earlier, but everyone hopes to succeed in the end. No one wants to fail, right? And on the day of success, everything that should come will come. "
He smiled tiredly. "Brother Lu, we're different. There are many things that you already know before you make a decision. But I, on the other hand, have been muddle-headed all the way until today."
Lu Yue looked at Wang Guan and fell into silence for a while before he asked, "So, what do you intend to do now?"
"What else can we do at a time like this?" Wang Guan's voice gradually returned to its usual nonchalant, lazy, and relaxed tone. "Just do what you should be doing."
Facing Lu Yue's suspicious gaze, he couldn't help but laugh again, "You don't think I'm going to avenge Qu Su, do you? I don't have the leisure to do that. I might as well go to sleep … "
Wang Guan staggered towards the back hall. As he walked, he waved his hand towards Lu Yue, "I'm going to take a nap. Fellow Daoist, please do as you please. Just treat yourself as if you're in your own hall."
"Of course, I wouldn't think that you're going to avenge Qu Su." Lu Yue watched Wang Guan's back as he left. He stood silently on the spot for a long time, "But …"
In the end, he shook his head and turned to leave the palace where Wang Guan resided.
"You already knew before making a decision?" Lu Yue squinted his eyes. The horrifying might of the Immortal Extermination Formation appeared in his mind. The faces of Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, Yan Di, Suo Mingzhang, Yang Jian, Nezha, and the others appeared in his mind. The scenes of Daoism returning to its former glory appeared in his mind.
"Hehe." Lu Yue's expression regained its calmness, "Even if I knew, what does it have to do with me? Taking a risk is always better than wasting my time. "
"Now, it's not the time to determine the outcome of the battle yet …"
Lu Yue leaped and sat on the back of his Golden-Eyed Hunchback. Then, he transformed into a golden light and instantly left.
…
In the depths of the Nine Underworlds Abyss Sea, within a world, there was nothing else. Only an ancient tree stood tall.
This ancient tree seemed to have died a long time ago. Its crown was bald, and its leaves had all fallen off. Only oddly-shaped branches were left.
However, beneath the ancient tree, there was a huge shade.
From the ancient tree's shadow, vitality was strangely leaking out, as if there were countless lives being active within.
Suddenly, an old man appeared beneath the withered ancient tree. He seemed ordinary and peaceful. He seemed to be incompatible with the devilish domain of the Nine Underworlds, yet he seemed to be a part of it.
Seeing the old man's appearance, the shadow beneath the withered tree seemed to have come alive and shook.
"What did the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil say?" The Shadow Devil's voice resounded from the withered tree's shadow.
That old man was naturally the Primordial Heart Devil.
"Cultivating the Three Clear Lineages, gathering the Jade Clear Nine Scriptures, and having the Taiyi Fist and Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture as a reference, it's indeed possible for him to reverse-engineer the Peerless Heavenly Scripture." The Primordial Heart Devil sighed and said, "However, things might not be that simple."
"Oh?" The withered tree's shadow shook violently, "In other words, he might have obtained the Peerless Heavenly Scripture from somewhere else, and he didn't reverse-engineer it himself?"
The Shadow Devil's voice became more serious.
Regardless of whether Yan Zhaoge's Peerless Heavenly Scripture was incomplete or not, if he didn't comprehend it himself and obtained it from someone else, the source would be very suspicious.
Without a doubt, the greatest possibility was the Tushita Palace's existence that didn't seem to care about worldly affairs!
While he didn't seem to care about anything, the Supreme Elder Lord's presence was never weak. No one would ignore him.
"We can't come to a conclusion now. However …" The Primordial Heart Devil said slowly, "It's better to believe it than not."
The Shadow Devil agreed with his point of view.
The Supreme Elder Lord's actions during the Middle era had already proved that he wasn't someone who didn't care about anything.
"Yan Zhaoge is about to marry Feng Yunsheng." The Shadow Devil pondered and said, "If Yan Zhaoge is really related to the Supreme Elder Lord, the situation isn't good."
"Actually, it's fine. The Xuandu Great Daoist is already plotting against our Nine Underworlds. He might even involve the Elder Lord." The Primordial Heart Devil said, "If Yan Zhaoge is really related to the Elder Lord, he shouldn't be targeting our Nine Underworlds or the Doomsday Heavenly Devil."
The Primordial Heart Devil suddenly laughed, "Moreover, even if he is, it doesn't matter."
"The Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil has other arrangements?" The Shadow Devil's heart jolted.
