Chapter 1431: Chapter 428: [Celestial Venerable]_2

The Saint sighed, "Indeed, these eyes were not easy to obtain. I request the Great Celestial Venerable to restrain your aura, lest it harms her."

After a moment of silence, the Great Celestial Venerable spoke again, "Have you completed the Tribulation Crossing?"

"Yes!"

For some reason, Zhan Li sensed a hidden anger and resolve in the Saint’s simple "yes."

The Great Celestial Venerable sighed, but his tone remained calm, "So, now you likely harbor animosity towards me?"

The Saint remained silent for a moment before shaking his head, "Animosity does not apply; you appraised my Life Chart back then, leading me to enter the world for Tribulation Crossing. Ultimately, it was a calculation against me. Yet in this worldly journey, what I experienced, I do not regret, as it benefited me in the end. Therefore, animosity is unnecessary."

The Great Celestial Venerable sighed again, "It seems your Tribulation Crossing truly achieved complete Merit."

With a pause, he again asked a question that left Zhan Li bewildered.

The Great Celestial Venerable asked the Saint, "So, which side are you on now?"

Which side?

Zhan Li felt like her brain wasn’t processing enough.

The Great Celestial Venerable asked which side this Saint was on?

What does it mean?

The forty-two Saints of the Domain Realm, could it be... they’ve split?

At this moment, a secret message suddenly sounded in Zhan Li’s mind from the Saint!

"Listen carefully to the following words, and remember them well!!"

Zhan Li shuddered!

She then memorized a conversation between the Saint and the seated Great Celestial Venerable, which left her utterly perplexed!

·

The Great Celestial Venerable asked: Which side are you on now?

The Saint answered, "I am on your side!"

After hearing this, the Great Celestial Venerable was silent again, then said, "It seems there aren’t many of us left on this side."

The Saint’s expression was cold and, after some deliberation, he slowly spoke:

"Before coming here, I saw the Southern Ghost Race figure. She spoke of her schemes, and I fought her, which vented some anger, but I also know she is trying.

As for the others...

The Hundred Year Saint is quite conceited about his ’God-Hosting Chapter,’ always believing this cultivation technique he created himself is enough to deal with things. Although he stands on our side, he is not deeply committed, with his position on our side, but due to arrogance, he feels he doesn’t need to rely on us.

And others... Shanxiang, I haven’t seen him for a long time, but I know he left a clone in the world, seemingly trying to delay time using this method.

As for Pingbo, Liuyu, and Qi Bao, I’ve seen all three, and they are still there.

Regarding others... The Southern Border ghost mentioned to me in passing. She wasn’t sure either; she tested some people secretly. Some seemed fine, but a slight probe revealed something amiss, so she didn’t dare continue probing.

So right now, those who can be confirmed on our side, barely tally up to, fearfully, less than ten people!"

The Great Celestial Venerable lowered his head, expressionless, yet the voice he emitted seemingly carried a hint of helplessness.

"Less than ten now? I remember the last time you came to see me here, we still had over twenty."

The Saint’s expression became stern, "So, I no longer trust the Southern Ghost Race figure. This time I came with a pair of eyes! I intend to go according to my own plan!"

The Great Celestial Venerable’s calm face suddenly furrowed slightly.

"Aren’t you afraid of being too aggressive with your methods?"

The Saint sneered, "If not aggressive enough, I’m afraid we won’t have anyone left at the end! Last time it was over twenty, and now it’s less than ten!

Following the Southern Ghost’s scheming, slowly laying the groundwork.

I’m worried that by the next meeting, there will be no one on our side left!"

This time, the Great Celestial Venerable’s silence lasted longer!

Finally, after an unknown period of silence, the Great Celestial Venerable slowly raised his head.

The disheveled hair in front of him was gently swept aside with his hand.

Zhan Li noticed that with just this simple gesture, the Great Celestial Venerable looked extremely weak, as if performing a simple action consumed much of his energy.

His face looked increasingly pale.

Then, his eyes slowly opened.

As his eyelids lifted, revealing a pair of pupils, at that moment, Zhan Li’s heart couldn’t help but jump violently in shock!

The Great Celestial Venerable’s pupils were entirely pitch black, not a trace of white!

For some reason, Zhan Li felt the blackness in the Great Celestial Venerable’s eyes seemed...

Very similar, very similar to the complete blackness of the black Military General she had seen before...

After glancing at the Great Celestial Venerable, the Saint’s expression also sank, his voice was hoarse, "You’ve... reached this degree?"

The Great Celestial Venerable nodded, "You’ve seen it. I am indeed close to not holding out for much longer, so... your approach is more aggressive than the Southern Ghost figure... Yet I have no choice."

After a pause, he slowly moved his neck, turning his face towards Zhan Li.

"It is you, then? So be it, come over."

Zhan Li was stunned, but the Saint next to her had already made a gentle gesture to her.

Zhan Li swallowed hard, taking cautious, trembling steps towards the Great Celestial Venerable.

This, this is the Great Celestial Venerable!

She served her Master her whole life, and her Master served the Elder Ancestor of the Ghost Race.

The Elder Ancestor of the Ghost Race was just an ordinary Saint.

This figure before her was the highest rank among Saints! One of the two Great Celestial Venerables of the Domain Realm!
