Chapter 1070: Chapter 669: Sacrificing Oneself to Feed the Offspring_2

After a moment of contemplation, Tian Ye still did not lie to him:

"Yes, from the very start I intentionally let those two leave."

Xu Yuan gently nodded:

"So, it seems you truly value this little ghost... is it because of the calamity?"

Tian Ye did not respond to these words, merely gazing at him calmly.

So, not willing to answer...

Xu Yuan sighed softly, slowly rising from the pit, channeling Spiritual Vision into the patterns and locking onto Tian Yuan’s aura once again.

Watching this scene, Tian Ye’s brows furrowed slightly, but she still didn’t speak.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Yuan asked with faint surprise:

"You’re not stopping me? These patterns are sealed by your Dao Charm—you should have countermeasures if you wished, right?"

Tian Ye remained remarkably calm, lightly shaking her head, speaking indifferently:

"Don’t you think such clumsy rhetorical tactics are too childish for the likes of us?"

Xu Yuan sneered lightly, his eyes glinting with a trace of mockery:

"The way you’re speaking now resembles Tian Yuan... suppressing something, are you?"

"....." Tian Ye did not respond.

A few moments of silence passed.

"If only I were strong enough to stop Tian Yuan. If I could stop her, the plan could continue... but it’s a shame, I’m too weak."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan clenched his fists slightly, raising his head to look at the sky. After a moment of silence, he spoke with a faint, rueful smile:

"You’re right. At the moment, the situation shows no hope of a turning point.

"The Saint brought by the sects is too powerful, and their preparations are too thorough. Even though I’ve pushed myself to the limit of what I can do, the current circumstances have completely spiraled out of control.

"It truly... truly is hard to grasp how Li Yaoxuan and my father managed to step by step fight their way out of past dead ends and stand equal to the sects today."

At this point,

Xu Yuan paused briefly before abruptly turning to ask:

"Tian Ye, what do you think they did to achieve that?"

"....."

Tian Ye listened to Xu Yuan’s narration, assuming he was ready to give up and leave, but the tone shifted abruptly by the end.

Without waiting for her response, Xu Yuan immediately continued:

"I believe it must have been a gamble—abandoning all retreat, committing relentlessly, no compromise, no withdrawal, charging forward with nothing but belief in victory."

Tian Ye pondered for a moment, her golden eyes shimmering with a hint of scrutiny:

"Seems like you still have a trump card—but is this card dangerous?"

"Originally, I wasn’t certain it would work, which is why I purposely confirmed it with you just now."

"....."

Confirmed?

Confirmed what?

Tian Ye’s thoughts raced quickly, and she suddenly seemed to realize something. Her golden eyes darted to the Mu Nuo in her grasp, while her Cosmic Skill Dao Charm abruptly activated.

Yet before it could fully deploy,

Xu Yuan had already murmured softly:

"Tian Yan, help me restrain Tian Ye."

"Buzz——"

The Dao Domain, which was still in the midst of forming, suddenly collapsed. The maiden’s figure froze as if caught in a fierce internal battle, slender and trembling.

But the trembling lasted only a moment before ceasing.

It seemed Tian Ye had chosen to give up.

As the maiden was immobilized, Xu Yuan walked up to her, reached for the ominous Ghost Infant in her hands, and stared at its seemingly sleeping visage for several moments before lifting his gaze with a smile:

"It’s not the first time we’ve schemed against each other, so you should understand me by now, right?"

Tian Yan’s body made no reaction, but Tian Ye’s voice resonated within Xu Yuan’s mind:

"You really are a lunatic, aren’t you~"

This time, Tian Ye’s tone lost its earlier calmness, reverting to a teasing casualness:

"You want to awaken it? You lack the means to control this little ghost. If it wakes up, its first instinct will still be to devour you. What exactly are you planning? All the intel you’ve gathered along the way—I should’ve known all of it as well..."

At this point, Tian Ye’s voice carried a faintly twisted excitement:

"No, no, no—Brother Xu Yuan, you seem to always know a great deal about the future. Is it that information?"

"....."

Ignoring Tian Ye’s muttering, Xu Yuan glanced at the battle between Feng Jiuxuan and Emperor Bai. His gaze coincided precisely with that of his uncle.

Their eye contact lasted only a moment,

yet Xu Yuan saw Feng Jiuxuan subtly nod at him.

Clearly, Tian Ye noticed this too, her voice hesitating and confused:

"You didn’t deceive Tian Yuan earlier. Why couldn’t the Celestial Fates Divine Soul hear the transmission?"

With the Black Death Mycelial Mat almost fully healing his internal injuries, Xu Yuan calmly replied in a quiet voice:

"The essence of transmission is to use Origin Qi or Will-spirit to envelop sound and deliver it to the destination. The Celestial Fates Divine Soul can pierce through either of these. My Qi is special, but until now, my cultivation level limited my ability to construct a sufficiently dense membrane to block the soul’s penetration—your patterns conveniently filled that gap."

Humans are creatures reliant on habit. When the Celestial Fates Divine Soul penetrating transmissions becomes ingrained as an ancient norm, even if someone explicitly tells you they can breach the soul, people inherently refuse to believe it.

Tian Yuan is like this; Tian Ye is like this.

Yet before she could try speaking again, Xu Yuan had already vanished, taking Mu Nuo along, leaving only the lone maiden behind.

After a long silence,

Tian Ye’s elegant voice carried a trace of mirth:

"Little sister Tian Yan, do you know what you were doing just now?"

"....." Tian Yan.

"So quiet?"

"I... I suppose I can guess what you intended." Tian Yan suddenly replied.

"Oh... since you can guess, then you must know your recent actions also rendered what would have been a controllable calamity uncontrollable again, right?" Tian Ye spoke nonchalantly, though faintly laced with complaint.

Tian Yan paused briefly, her cool voice ringing out again:

"If calamities were controllable, then they wouldn’t be calamities."

"Hm. Predictably naive, inherited after severing epochs of knowledge." Tian Ye chuckled lightly, "Calamities are indeed uncontrollable, but they can be guided."

As she said this,

Tian Ye seemed reminded of something, softly laughing twice:

"Well, it’s also my misstep—but perhaps this is inevitable. After all, I am the destined one from twenty thousand years ago, not now."

"....." Tian Yan.

.

The hunched elder eyed the intruder who had barged into the battlefield, an expression faintly tinged with helplessness.

The burning Qilin Wolf and Insect People, the half-phased Ghost Saint, the soldiers readying their bows above, the Formation Patterns of Tian Ji—now joined by Xu Changtian and the Ghost Infant.

Though, as an elder of Dayan, he didn’t mind shouldering a bit more responsibility, this was excessive.

Would they truly let an old man fight seven on his own?

Still, now that they’d arrived, the hunched elder had no intention of sending them away with tea—it might as well serve as a lesson for the younger generation.

Mulling over, the elder locked his gaze on the Xu Family youth. Where his gaze fell, flames surged upwards; within his Dao Domain, unless deflected by Sacred Origin, the inferno would consume everything.

Unexpectedly for Qin Ke, Xu Changtian ignited but continuously flickered, escaping his unquenchable flames with every burst.

"....." Qin Ke.

Visually bizarre, Qin Ke hesitated but only momentarily, his dry lips curving into a faint smile.

He understood the spellcraft’s mechanism.

No wonder Mu Xingyi couldn’t handle him.

The elder let out two peculiar laughs:

"Boy, Tian Yuan might have her plans within Jiatiange that compel her to spare you, but I have no such qualms here..."

Before he could finish,

the elder unconsciously frowned, realizing the Xu Family boy seemingly had no intent to engage.

Amidst the flames and briefly flickering movements, Xu Changtian dashed toward the Qilin Wolf.

What was this?

Instinctively, Qin Ke deduced the boy had deemed the confrontation futile and intended to flee alongside the Qilin Wolf.

If Xu Changtian could teleport with the Ghost Infant, then he could likely teleport the Qilin Wolf too—he had to stop the boy from touching it.

Quickly analyzing Xu Yuan’s spellcraft traits, a flame suddenly engulfed the massive form of the Qilin Wolf, denying Xu Yuan any chance to grab it.

Yet just then,

"Buzz————"

Above the Heavenly Canopy, a sword light sliced through the clouds, severing all dragon shadows, illuminating brightly enough to split the Sky Dome in two!

Sensing Tian Ye’s inhibition and Feng Jiuxuan pressing Emperor Bai back, simultaneous transmissions rang:

"Qin Ke, Xu Changtian’s target is Mu Xingyi and that Yin Ghost."

"Qin Ke, Feng Jiuxuan is moving in!"

"....."

In the silence,

Xu Yuan appeared with Mu Nuo before Mu Xingyi and Lady Wan, his Spiritual Vision sweeping over Lady Wan’s state before speaking lightly:

"Judging by appearances,

"Lady Wan, you’re prepared to sacrifice yourself for the child, aren’t you?"
