Chapter 285: What Are You Doing This For? 2

Wang Ye was watching from the side.

Behind him, the sword rabbit was sweating profusely, and its face was slightly red from excitement.

It had also made a small move just now. Although it seemed a little powerless compared to the two big sisters, the sword rabbit felt that it was still okay.

“Oh? Senior, you’re done?” Wang Ye was sitting at the side, going through the spoils of wars while watching the show. Then, he saw the light cocoon explode, and a light red wooden sword that was burning with exuding a clear aura was suddenly unsheathed.

Unlike the broken blade from before, the wooden sword now could be considered complete.

Of course, this was no ordinary wooden sword. Whether it was the hilt or the crossguard, they were clearly sculpted and formed with extreme rigor. It gave off a feeling that the sword should be such!

The Tao Divine Sword!

The wooden sword flew over, and its voice also slightly changed.

It seemed to have fused the three different voices of different ages. There was a young girl’s delicate charm, a clear and cold tone, as well a cold texture.

“… You guys are all done?”

“It’s okay, still passable,” Wang Ye sighed, “It was still quite dangerous since Xiao Jiu was eaten just now. If it wasn’t for its crucial move, you might not see me now.”

Xiao Tao looked into the distance, at the arrogant divine bird.

Did he call this dangerous?

Speaking of which, if it hadn’t seen the sparrow before, even it wouldn’t be able to accept that a green sparrow could evolve to such an extent.

Although they were both birds, wasn’t this cross-species evolution a little too exaggerated?

“Our mana is almost gone, umm, that is, we’re almost out of spiritual energy,” Wang Ye explained, “After we get out, it’s up to you, senior. There should be members of an investigation corps surrounding us right now. Of course, if you’re willing, we can try that.”

“? Don’t even think about it,” Xiao Tao shook its head.

It was not okay to relax its mind to another human.

To be honest, whatever happened last time was because it did not believe that it only needed to be touched to sense the information about him and itself in the future.

Later on, it had been forced to believe it.

That feeling was quite mystical. It felt like it had become his pet, which made it even more unbearable.

“It’s okay,” Wang Ye waved his hand.

To be honest, running a simulation now didn’t have much meaning.

Because no matter what he did, he had to first pull through the crossroads before him now.

Of course, Wang Ye could choose to hide in the Ancient Sword Relic.

Unfortunately, after the seal was broken, the place was filled with the power of strangeness and the spiritual energy was thin, so it was not suitable to stay for long.

“Then wait for me. I still need to find something,” Wang Ye asked Xiao Jiu to fly into the core of the seal, which was the place where the crossguard had flown out. Then, he asked it to dive down and begin to search, planning to find the ancient sword mortal heart first.

“By the way, let me tell you what’s going to happen next,” Wang Ye and the wooden sword faced each other, “After we go out, the Qixing Investigation Corps will definitely be surrounding us outside, but they are not the key.”

“?” Xiao Tao was silent for a moment, “Then what is the key?”

“I feel that someone behind me is secretly controlling everything,” Wang Ye smiled. “And, I have roughly guessed who it is.”

“Oh?” Xiao Tao’s voice changed slightly, “You’ve realized it yourself?”

“I realized it long ago,” Wang Ye cleared his throat, “You should know of the Dark Fog Cult, right?”

Xiao Tao was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Naturally.”

The last time it had simulated with Wang Ye, it had joined the Dark Fog Cult together with Wang Ye, and they had been spies for many years.

“These fellows should be hiding in Xinghai Province,” Wang Ye said, “They seem to know about you, and they’re trying to do everything they can to resurrect you so that they can cause chaos in Xinghai Province. Only then will they have a chance to take advantage of the situation.”

“Starting from Lin Lei in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb at the beginning, the black-robed man behind him should be someone from this organization. Dongli couldn’t track him down. Most likely, he hid too well.”

“Afterwards, I discovered Lin Lei, and I entered the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb. Afterward, Xiao Jiu evolved with the Scalding Bright Flame. If they were familiar with you, they would have some understanding of your strength. The Scalding Bright Flame is so unique, so they definitely know that I have a relationship with you. Thus, whether it was in the Hidden Mysterious Realm or the Ancient Sword Relic here, for me to be able to do everything so smoothly, it’s all thanks to those fellows.”

Xiao Tao didn’t say anything, quietly waiting for the next part.

This fellow seemed to know quite a bit.

“Perhaps, my current actions were steered by them in the dark, which led me to this place. However, the difference is, they probably wouldn’t expect that I would take the huge risk by going to the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb and bringing you straight here to the Ancient Sword Relic to resurrect you,” Wang Ye said calmly, “Because this is a way of sending myself to my doom. After all, it would’ve been enough if I had entered the Ancient Sword Relic secretly and brought the crossguard out. Moreover, the Qixing Investigation Corps doesn’t know about this Ancient Sword Relic either. Bringing the crossguard out alone is the best method. It won’t alarm the Qixing Investigation Corps either.”

“Indeed,” Xiao Tao’s voice was slightly strange.

“If I was normal, that would be the method that I would choose. Then, after I entered the Ancient Sword Relic, I will discover that the crossguard can’t be taken away. In the end, I can only return first. At this time, the location of the Ancient Sword Relic will thus be discovered. At the same time, the sword intent barrier inside will also be broken. Then, they will be able to take the crossguard away. After that, they will go straight to the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb and resurrect you. Or rather, you will be forced to resurrect.”

“As for me, as long as I still have potential, I will be of even greater use to them! That’s because I haven’t been exposed, and I won’t have anything to do with you. Your resurrection has nothing to do with me.”

“…” Xiao Tao.

It let out a slight cry, seemingly having thought of the terrifying outcome if that had happened.

“At that time, senior Xiao Tao, you might become a sharp blade in their hands.”

“I didn’t expect you to think so much…” Xiao Tao said in a low voice, “So, that’s why you took me away from the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb and resurrected me here? You didn’t flinch from attracting the Qixing Investigation Corps.”

“That’s right!” Wang Ye nodded, “As long as I resurrect you in advance and attract the Qixing Investigation Corps, then it will be very difficult for the Dark Fog Cult to intervene. However, I’m certain that they won’t give up so easily! Or rather, they won’t give up on you. I’m secondary. So, when we get out later, once we start a war with the Qixing Investigation Corps, they will definitely appear after that. They will probably appear after you are defeated.”

He didn’t get this information from the simulations.

As for why? It was because he had fought head-on with the other party and thus died in the simulation.

“You said that you already roughly know who it is?” Xiao Tao asked.

“That’s right,” Wang Ye nodded slightly, “I have 70-80% confidence, but it’s not absolute.”

“Are you not afraid of dying?” Xiao Tao suddenly asked, “What you’re doing is obviously the riskiest way to do it. Besides, you’re now very famous in Xinghai Province and even Dongli. There’s no need to do this. What are you doing this for? If it’s just for the Scalding Bright Flame, you shouldn’t have had to go to such extents, right?”

That was true.

Although the Scalding Bright Flame was extremely rare, if it really couldn’t be found, Wang Ye could just continue to help Xiao Jiu simulate other evolutionary forms.

In this day and age, although heavenly flames weren’t easy to find, they could still be found, though it might take some time.

However, if one were to talk about his reason for doing all this…

Wang Ye held his chin, “To be honest, speaking of this, the feeling of being controlled feels pretty good. Everything has been planned out. I can have whatever I want. Don’t you think it feels good? If I choose the other method, I can indeed successfully escape. Moreover, I feel that this is also the arrangement of the Dark Fog Cult.”

“They want to use me, so they won’t want me to die in this situation that they don’t know about. Because as long as I don’t end up in the Ancient Sword Relic and obtain the crossguard, then they will definitely be the ones to get the crossguard, allowing them to control everything. As for me, I obtained everything, but in the end, I could still easily separate myself from you.”

“…” Xiao Tao.

In fact, it was just as Wang Ye had said.

In the first simulation of the Ancient Sword Relic, he had been injured in the Cloud Palace. When he came back, senior Xiao Tao had already turned into the demon sword.

It had nothing to do with him.

The Qixing Investigation Corps and the Dark Fog Cult didn’t affect him at all.

He had only died later because he wasn’t strong enough and was thus severely injured in the Cloud Palace…
