Chapter 1064: Chapter 665 Tian Ye’s Subjective Will - Part 2

"....."

Listening carefully to the other’s words, Xu Yuan still glanced at Lady Wan. Within his blood-red swirling pupils, the venomous resentment in her eyes was faintly visible:

"You probably heard what Mu Xingyi just said. Aren’t you worried those three might turn on you?"

Tian Yuan didn’t hesitate, replying directly:

"There’s such a possibility, but they pose no threat to us. Moreover, as long as their goal is your life, they must destroy Zhenxi Government Office. Your time is running out."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression revealed a trace of oddity.

He realized something about Tian Yuan’s words felt off.

"What are you trying to do by saying this?"

Tian Yuan’s clear voice sounded as emotionless as a mechanical synthesis:

"Xu Changtian, leave."

"What?" Xu Yuan was momentarily stunned.

"I said, Xu Changtian, leave."

Tian Yuan repeated without a trace of emotion: "Before the situation deteriorates further, with Feng Jiuxuan and ’Tianyan’ protecting you, leaving Zhenxi Prefecture won’t be too hard."

Gazing at her divinely indifferent golden eyes, Xu Yuan struggled to understand Tian Yuan’s intentions:

"Wasn’t it you who issued the assassination order back then?"

Tian Yuan did not deny it:

"Yes, but circumstances have changed."

"....."

Subconsciously, Xu Yuan glanced at Tian Ye beside him.

Tian Ye chuckled carelessly, arms crossed over Tianyan’s flat chest, making no effort to engage with the private scheming at hand.

Xu Yuan rapidly pondered the meaning behind the other’s actions.

Inciting discord?

But with the current state of Zhenxi Prefecture City, it was impossible for Xu Yuan to turn against Tian Ye. Furthermore, Tian Yuan had no reason to expend this much effort unnecessarily.

So, was she serious?

As he mulled this over, Tian Yuan’s cool voice once again echoed:

"Xu Changtian, if you’re willing to leave, I can make a concession. When you take Li Junwu away, I won’t intervene."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan was almost certain that Tian Yuan genuinely wanted him to leave.

Although unclear why, the reason behind Tian Yuan’s change must undoubtedly be linked to Tian Ye.

What exactly transpired between these Jiatiange members when Tian Ye went to escort the Qilin Wolf into the city?

While thinking, Xu Yuan suddenly recalled something.

Though Tianyan’s body had always been under Tian Ye’s control due to her deliberate inaction, the Washboard Saintess had been watching the whole time. Perhaps asking her might yield answers.

But just as this thought emerged,

Tianyan, seemingly predicting his thoughts, voiced in her icy tone:

"Don’t even think about asking me. I don’t know what Master did with that enchantress either. Last night, when they met, Master was ready to fight, but after seeing Tian Ye’s Dao Charm, she left directly."

"....." Xu Yuan.

Hearing Tianyan’s words, Xu Yuan instinctively looked her way, only to see the enchantress coquettishly winking at him.

At that moment,

Tian Yuan’s voice reverberated once more, laced with words that pierced the heart:

"Tianyan is already imprisoned for your sake. If you don’t want to put her in a difficult spot, take this opportunity to withdraw. Surely, you don’t wish for her to burn her life once more and die for you, do you?"

"...."

Hearing these words, Xu Yuan fell silent.

In terms of verbal sparring, Tian Yuan was no less adept than he.

That final statement pierced him directly.

Despite having Tian Ye, the enchantress, acting as a shield, the truth was Tianyan had consistently been harming Jiatiange’s interests to assist both him and the Prime Minister’s Mansion behind him.

Smiling bitterly, Xu Yuan prepared to speak when he was interrupted by Tian Ye, who had been silently observing and enjoying the show. Her tone was still light and mocking:

"Jiantian Pavilion Master, say one more word, and I’ll start fighting you right now."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yuan fell silent, turning instead to cultivate and block several military formation soldiers shooting forth from the Government Office.

Once again, she chose to only shield Mu Xingyi, leaving Mu Nuo and Lady Wan severely injured once more.

"...."

The gust of energy swirling around disrupted Xu Yuan’s thoughts.

Why?

Tian Ye’s motives had been on Xu Yuan’s mind this entire time.

In the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, she clung to him because only he and Tianyan were alive.

But now that they were in reality, her continued attachment to him seemed curious. However, since she had been wholeheartedly protecting his life all this time without expressing any personal desires, his suspicion had always remained dormant.

But just moments ago, Tian Ye had unexpectedly left bait.

Her words were brief and to the point, yet it was the first time since her appearance that Tian Ye had expressed her subjective intentions.

Tian Ye seemingly wanted him to stay.

That appeared to be a clue, though there was still too little evidence at the moment.

Sighing inwardly, Xu Yuan looked at Tian Yuan and stated slowly:

"You’re right, Pavilion Master. Tianyan has indeed been helping me by harming herself. I’ll repay this debt in the future by preserving Jiatiange’s Dao lineage."

Having repeatedly blocked the military formation soldiers and city defense array patterns, the chances surrounding Tian Yuan felt somewhat chaotic.

Clearly,

her spellcraft attributes weren’t as counteractive to the city’s defensive formation as Emperor Bai’s.

However, upon hearing Xu Yuan’s words, Tian Yuan still found the time to glance at him coldly, her gaze indifferent:

"By the ethical standards of the Human Race, Xu Changtian, you are truly shameless."

Hearing this assessment, Xu Yuan lowered his head and chuckled lightly:

"At this stage, I must refuse your proposal."

"What about Emperor Bai?" Tian Yuan asked.

"Same." Xu Yuan replied.

"Is it because you fear I’ve passed false information to Feng Jiuxuan?"

"You’re quick to catch on."

"You possess the Celestial Fates Divine Soul and can hear transmissions. Even if you can’t, someone beside you can."

"...."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced at Tian Ye and smiled:

"She’s just a madwoman. Who knows if she’ll tell me?"

With that,

Xu Yuan stopped engaging Tian Yuan and turned to Tian Ye with one last attempt:

"Don’t you really want to know Emperor Bai’s information? You might face him directly later, and as you know, intelligence on spellcraft among Saints is crucial. When the time comes, I won’t be able to help."

Tian Ye narrowed her gorgeous eyes, teasingly refusing:

"You already said I’m a madwoman. So, who cares?"

"....."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

He could tell Tian Ye wasn’t indifferent because she felt certain of victory. Rather, she simply didn’t care whether she lived or died.

Sighing lightly, Xu Yuan murmured:

"Then send a voice transmission. We should get back to our tasks. It seems the Pavilion Master doesn’t intend to act against us."

With that,

Xu Yuan flew directly toward Mu Nuo, who was still immobilized.

Seeing this, Tian Yuan frowned faintly, immediately understanding what Xu Yuan intended to do. Her golden eyes flashed with divine light as a word of ’Seal’ from Zhen Yan pressed down on Xu Yuan without need for incantation.

If he couldn’t be killed, he could at least be temporarily sealed.

Yet, unexpectedly,

the moment her spell contacted Xu Yuan’s figure, he suddenly vanished with a flicker, reappearing right in front of Mu Nuo.

Startled by this sudden teleportation, Xu Yuan turned back and smiled:

"Pavilion Master, unless you intend to kill me, sealing techniques are useless against me."

Xu Yuan had elevated Step Void Slash to an art form.

Black Qi, Layered Pattern Secret Art, and Step Void Slash combined into a bug-like mechanism. As long as an opponent’s Origin Qi struck him, Xu Yuan could teleport to evade.

Of course,

because of Xu Yuan’s cultivation limits, Tian Yuan could still easily counter him.

Whether by exhausting his Origin Qi or employing continuous area-of-effect spellcraft, she could still harm Xu Yuan. But if she did so, the enchantress Tian Ye would undoubtedly join the battle.

Standing before Mu Nuo, Xu Yuan looked at the painful and twisted expression on his face. He asked Tian Ye softly:

"How long will this kid’s Yin Source rampage last?"

Tian Ye chuckled lightly:

"Most of its Yin Source comes from the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow. A few years of runaway state shouldn’t be an issue."

"...."

Xu Yuan smacked his lips.

Several years of control...

What’s this single-target strongest control method?

However, Tian Ye’s words also served as a warning to Xu Yuan. It was worth remembering that his own body also contained a significant amount of Yin Source from the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow. If one day Tian Ye decided to use this control playstyle on him...

With this on his mind, Xu Yuan slowly extended his hand to Mu Nuo, his body’s instincts causing his heart to speed up.

Seeing this,

Tian Ye’s expression held a hint of disdain as she muttered, exasperated:

"Seriously, forcing me to step in—am I just your tool?"

Yet, despite her complaints, just as Xu Yuan was about to touch Mu Nuo, Tian Ye’s formidable aura instantly swept across hundreds of feet around them.

This seemingly boundless energy even caused Feng Jiuxuan and Emperor Bai to pause their actions simultaneously.

In the next moment,

under the incredulous gazes of Mu Xingyi and Lady Wan,

their beloved son,

began rapidly dissolving and disintegrating before their eyes...
