Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 215 Liu Ruyan: Being both a father and a mother is too difficult!

Liu Ruyan sighed and said, "Everyone will encounter setbacks on the road to success. Only by overcoming obstacles can you go further and reach the destination."

"Only the weak become frustrated and give up when they encounter setbacks."

"Whether you want to be a strong person or a weak person in this world, the choice is yours."

Su Bai's expression remained dejected as he said, "Master, wasn't Li Qiye's life all smooth sailing?"

"Has he encountered setbacks or endured setbacks?"

"Anyway, I've never heard of him encountering any setbacks."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was completely taken aback.

He couldn't help but curse Su Bai in his heart.

Are you a contrarian?
I was just trying to comfort you and tell you not to lose your ambition, but you had to argue with me.

"That's right, Li Qiye seems to have a smooth life, but how long have you known him, and how much do you really know about him?"

How do you know he hasn't experienced setbacks?

"What you know is only Li Qiye's most glorious side. Do you know the hardships he endured behind the scenes?"

Liu Ruyan said coldly, "Even if he's doing well now, will it always be like this?"

"No one can have a smooth life; everyone will encounter setbacks."

"Even those young emperors are the same. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Even he, Li Qiye, is no exception."

"If you dwell on these things every day, you'll never surpass him in your life."

"If you want to surpass him, you must regroup and constantly strive to strengthen yourself. Why don't you understand this? Why do you always want to compare yourself to Li Qiye?"

"You possess the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and your potential far surpasses that of Li Qiye. As long as you can endure loneliness and cultivate diligently, you will surpass him sooner or later."

"Your advantage is immense, something Li Qiye doesn't have, and something no one else has. You could say you are unique in this world."

"Perhaps you will say that Li Qiye has a powerful background, good talent, and strong strength, but these are all temporary. As long as you avoid his sharp edge, ignore him, and continue to cultivate the Heaven-Breaking Demon Art and devour the essence of others, you will defeat him sooner or later."

"I hope you can understand this principle. If you can't understand it, then you might as well give up as soon as possible."

By the end, Liu Ruyan was quite angry.

He felt like he was both a father and a mother, and he also had to give Su Bai psychological support from time to time.

And this guy is very mischievous and won't listen to advice at all.

At first, he listened, but he quickly forgot about it and sought comfort from him whenever he encountered a setback.

Of course, he also knew what Su Bai was thinking. He was very unwilling, but he didn't dare to face it all. He needed someone to enlighten and comfort him so that he could regain his confidence.

At first, Liu Ruyan didn't think much of it, but after it happened so many times, she got annoyed.

What he needs to think about now is how to leave Su Bai's place.

He saw no hope in staying here any longer.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others, especially since his soul has almost fully recovered.

"Master, I understand."

"Actually, I know these principles, but the thought that all my efforts over this period of time have been wasted because of Li Qiye's remaining power makes me very unwilling."

Su Bai noticed the change in Liu Ruyan's tone and immediately backed down.

"It's best that you know this; there's no need to compare yourself to Li Qiye in the future."

"Next, you just need to focus on improving yourself. You may not see results in the short term, but in ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years... one day you will be able to surpass him."

"It would be best if you could reach the Emperor Realm before the Emperor Realm era arrives. That would be the best way for you to take revenge on Li Qiye."

"Imagine if you could do all that, Li Qiye's mindset would definitely be shaken. His past smooth sailing would make his heart very fragile, and you could destroy him in one fell swoop." "Setbacks are not that terrible. The more setbacks you encounter, the more indomitable you will become, and the more stable your Dao heart will be."

Liu Ruyan spoke softly.

"Master, I understand."

A glint flashed in Su Bai's eyes, and he regained his fighting spirit.

What he didn't know was that Liu Ruyan had already started thinking about how to get away from him.

"Go to the Southern Abyss Divine Continent. There are some things I left behind there. Although they cannot completely restore your health, they can at least restore half of it."

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment before speaking.

The Southern Abyss Divine Continent has many races and produces many geniuses, with constant conflicts, making it a suitable place for Su Bai to go and train.

Practicing the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art over there, which devours the essence of other cultivators, makes it difficult for others to detect.

Su Bai had no doubts and set off directly for the Southern Abyss Divine Continent.

Dark Demon Palace.

"A mission has come from the Heavenly Demon Realm, ordering us to kill Li Qiye, the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"This is Li Qiye's information."

In a dimly lit room sat several powerful figures, each shrouded in a cloud of black mist, obscuring their faces and making it impossible to sense their presence.

These powerful individuals fell silent after seeing the message.

"It is protected by a Saint-level expert, and also by an Emperor-level divine weapon!"

"Even the descendants of great emperors don't receive such treatment."

A chilling voice rang out.

Although his tone was cold, a hint of helplessness could also be heard.

This is hardly a mission!
This is sending them to their deaths!

Putting everything else aside, the challenge of facing a Saint Realm expert is enough to kill them several times over.

The strongest among them is only at the peak of the Void Realm. How can they contend with a Saint Realm expert?
Moreover, the opponent is none other than Mo Daoren, whose strength is known to all; he is practically invincible at the same level.

In addition, there is also the protection of an Emperor-level divine weapon. Even if a Saint-level expert goes there, he will die a bitter defeat!
"This isn't a mission, it's suicide! Should we accept it or not?"

"This is impossible to receive!"

"Although I enjoy challenging tasks, I'd rather not attempt tasks that are just suicide missions."

"Even without the protection of an Emperor-level divine weapon, Mo Daoren, a mere Saint Realm cultivator, could kill us several times over."

Immediately, someone stepped forward and gave up.

There's really no way around it; this mission is too difficult, it's practically suicide.

Even after years of assassinations and countless brushes with death, they were still speechless at the prospect of such a mission.

Because this wasn't a mission at all; they were sent directly to Xingtai.

"If Li Qiye doesn't have Mo Daoren by his side, then we still have a chance."

"Although Emperor-level divine weapons are incredibly powerful, they need time to revive. And for a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm, it's difficult to unleash the full power of an Emperor-level weapon."

"If we can keep Mo Daoren occupied, we might have a chance to complete our mission."

Although many people gave up, some saw it as an opportunity and expressed different opinions.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
