Chapter 2436 - 2404: Consensus Forced

Chapter 2436: Chapter 2404: Consensus Forced

Being in the mist, Wusheng’s expression changed slightly.

Actually, he didn’t think too much about it.

It is just because Li Chen stood beside Leiyang, and he disliked Leiyang, but couldn’t defeat him, thus he decided to trouble Li Chen.

In his view, if he couldn’t beat Leiyang, could he not at least bully a youngling from the Soul Realm?

Similarly, besides this, he indeed had other goals.

Because Leiyang came to Molting Dream Mountain for a duel, which, though not life-or-death, was very important, and it is said that both sides were betting on an extremely remarkable treasure.

He came here to probe Leiyang.

If Leiyang had confidence in this duel, he would certainly intercept him. At least, in his impression, Leiyang was such a straightforward and violent person.

But if he had no confidence, Leiyang would definitely hesitate. If he wasted energy here, then the subsequent battle would certainly be more strenuous.

Wusheng understood this very well.

But unexpectedly, man proposes, God disposes, and the development of things often surpassed individual anticipation.

First, a mere youngster from the Soul Realm made Leiyang step aside, and Leiyang indeed stepped aside.

Then, he attempted to probe them but was fiercely retaliated.

Though it was merely a probing clash, Wusheng could feel his divine soul was indeed injured!

This seemingly Soul Realm-level person, his strength was likely far more terrifying than he imagined!

At this time, he felt he had already left the visual range of the two, and in such a place, with his Divine Sense strength, it could only spread out to a thousand feet.

A thousand feet, for a Dao Saint, is merely a blink’s distance, even less than a blink.

Knowing he encountered a tough opponent, Wusheng Dao Saint’s eyes flickered slightly, he quietly retreated two steps, intending to flee directly.

However, at this moment, a slightly malevolent laughter echoed near his ear.

"Old geezer, where do you intend to go?"

Wusheng’s expression tightened, and he instinctively struck a palm towards the side.

But he soon felt his palm hit something, followed by a sharp pain.

Retrieving his palm, Wusheng realized a section was missing from his hand.

The remaining half of the palm seemed to be cut by some sharp instrument, the surface extremely smooth.

"You..."

Wusheng’s expression altered again, at this moment, he no longer cared about any Dao Saint’s dignity, and turned to flee.

Yet, the voice, akin to a soul-piercing call, echoed again.

"If you run again, I can’t guarantee you’ll continue to live freely."

"What do you mean?!" Wusheng halted, looking towards the hauntingly ghostly figure behind him, his expression a bit fierce as he spoke: "I just slightly probed you, we are all Dao Saints, is it necessary to be so ruthless? And this is the Jianmu Universe, do you truly dare to kill me?!"

A white-haired youth in a black and gold cloud-patterned long robe slowly emerged from the mist, looking at Wusheng Dao Saint, slowly speaking: "Of course I won’t kill you. Firstly, as you said, with the rules of Jianmu Universe, naturally I won’t publicly kill you. Secondly, I have some matters I want you to assist me with."

"Why should I help you?" Wusheng Dao Saint’s expression turned uncertain.

"You will help." Li Chen smiled: "Because helping me equals helping yourself."

"Helping myself?" Wusheng Dao Saint sneered: "Ridiculous... ah!!! What is this stuff? What did you do in my sea of consciousness?!"

The sneer was cut short, immediately turning into a scream, Wusheng clutched his head, painfully falling to the ground.

"It’s nothing, I merely planted a small seed in your divine soul!" Li Chen smiled warmly: "If you choose not to assist me, it’s fine, but this pain will accompany you for one or two Eras. Of course, the premise is that you can endure such soul annihilation for one or two Eras. After these one or two Eras, the pain will naturally dissipate."

"You!!" Wusheng Dao Saint glared fiercely at Li Chen: "Doing this, aren’t you afraid of facing the whole Jianmu Universe’s Dao Saints’ siege?"

"Anyway, no one knows." Li Chen shrugged: "You won’t tell anyone, right?"

When speaking the last two words, Li Chen intentionally emphasized his tone.

Wusheng Dao Saint’s body trembled slightly.

Could he not discern the threat in the opponent’s tone?

From the fearless attitude of this mysterious guy, he could feel the opponent definitely had ways to catalyze the thing within his sea of consciousness by other means.

But the crucial issue is, until now, he hadn’t discovered anything within his sea of consciousness!

After the pain ended, he immediately conducted an exploration, but... found nothing!

Under the inspection of his divine soul, the sea of consciousness was empty.

But that guy claimed, that inexplicable pain of having a tiny bit of his divine soul annihilated would last for one or two Eras?

Just thinking about it made Wusheng feel a shiver run down his spine.

"What... do you want me to do?" Wusheng asked tremblingly.

"Relax. Just a small favor." Seeing Wusheng finally yielding, Li Chen’s demeanor became less imposing, jovially standing beside him, personally helping attach his severed hand, he smiled: "Soon, there will be a duel at Molting Dream Mountain, right? I thought, the other side seems to have more people than us, so I wanted to bring another Dao Saint to assist. Just nice, Daoist Friend No Life, with your strong cultivation, aren’t you the most suitable helper?"

Wusheng Dao Saint glanced at Li Chen with complex emotions.

So, this enigmatic being was also a participant in that duel?

However, suddenly letting him partake in this duel, truly is...

"What’s the matter? Daoist Friend No Life seems somewhat unwilling?" Li Chen deliberately raised his eyebrows.

"Unwilling? How could it be! Being able to join forces with such a powerful figure as you, Wusheng is naturally delighted!" Wusheng Dao Saint quickly adjusted his mindset, replied with a smile on his face.

Face? A strong Dao Saint’s dignity?

How much is that worth per pound?

Wusheng had thought about reporting Li Chen to the entire Jianmu Universe after escaping here. But first, he had to escape under Li Chen’s nose.

Secondly, this mysterious powerhouse capable of injuring his soul merely by a soul attack and invading his consciousness, even he doubted anyone in the entire Jianmu Universe could undo the strange thing existing somewhere within his sea of consciousness.

Rather than that, might as well honestly cooperate.

"Daoist Friend No Life is truly noble, unable to stand those who oppress with numbers! Haha, in that case, we’ve reached a consensus." Li Chen reached out, regardless of Wusheng’s willingness, directly shook the hand that was just reattached before it fully healed, shaking it vigorously.

While Wusheng’s lips twitched... forcibly reaching a consensus.
