He looked at Wei Zixi coldly, "If you dare to hurt my disciple, I will tear you into pieces!"
Wei Zixi ignored Jiu Ye. He didn't even look at Jiu Ye or Jun Yueze in his hand.
His eyes were on Xi Yue from beginning to end.
It was not until Jiu Ye led his men away that Wei Zixi slowly spoke: "You should know that I will not lie to you. You cannot unlock the fifth level of the origin of wood."
"Then I can also tell you that I must unlock the fifth level of the origin of wood, so please return the water spirit bead to me!"
A red, sinister light flashed in Wei Zixi's eyes. His voice was still lazy, but it was chilling to the bone. "Xiyue, do you know that if you unlock the fifth level of the origin of wood, even if you don't want the saint to return, you will be forced to do so. The way of heaven pretended to disappear, but in fact it has been waiting for this moment."
"I will wait for the day when you return to your position. When you are no longer in control of yourself, I will extract one of your three souls and seven spirits, leaving you without any emotions and desires, and turning you into a puppet willing to sacrifice for the people of the world. Even so, you still want to unlock the origin of wood?"
Xi Yue was stunned.
She thought about the various reasons why Wei Zixi wanted to destroy the Water Spirit Pearl, such as wanting the Divine Realm to be destroyed.
But at this moment, hearing the seemingly calm words spoken by the man in front of her, she had the illusion that Wei Zixi did all this just for her safety.
Xi Yue took a deep breath and spoke calmly and resolutely, "I don't know whether what you said is true or not, and I don't know whether the Heavenly Dao has the ability to take away my soul. But even so, I have to unlock the Origin of Wood."
"Why?"
"Because I want to go to Avici Hell to save Ji Mingyu!"
"Aren't you afraid that the day you unlock the power of origin will be the day you lose your freedom? By then, you will have become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, without even your own consciousness. How can you save Ji Mingyu who has been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao?"
"I'm willing to bet! I bet that my love for Ji Mingyu can surpass the control of the Heavenly Dao over me. I bet that even if I forget everything and lose my freedom, I will not forget the oath between Ji Mingyu and me. Even if I really lose the bet in the future, I am willing to accept the defeat and never regret it!"
The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and her expression was extremely calm and indifferent, but her eyes were flashing with a fiery persistence.
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, hell and the underworld before her, she will never back down to save the man she loves.
Wei Zixi felt a dull pain in his chest.
It was as if my heart was immersed in ice water, or as if thorns covered my heart veins. Every breath was painful.
But a brilliant smile slowly emerged on that face that was as pale as snow, yet handsome and gorgeous.
"Xi Yue, you will die without regrets, and so will I! Therefore, I will not let you get the Water Spirit Pearl!"
As he spoke, a crystal blue bead appeared in Wei Zixi's hand.
The scarlet energy line turned into flames, ignited in his palm, and wrapped around the Water Spirit Pearl.
The Water Spirit Pearl suddenly trembled violently, and rushed left and right in Wei Zixi's palm, as if trying to escape at all costs.
"Wei Zixi, don't destroy the Water Spirit Pearl!" Xi Yue shouted, and the Lishui Sword in her hand flew out like an arrow.
Her entire body turned into green smoke and rushed straight towards Wei Zixi.
Once the Water Spirit Pearl is destroyed, its energy will dissipate into the air.
Even if it will eventually return to Jun Yueze's host body first, it will still take a long time.
And now, what Xi Yue can't wait for the most is time! (To be continued)
