Chapter 928 Only One Can Live

"Are you really Qingbai?" Qi Tianxin asked, staring intently at Chen Guan.

"What difference does it make whether it is or isn't?" Chen Guan said calmly.

"This is a feud between you and me, it has nothing to do with these juniors. Let them go. As for my life, come and take it if you dare." Qi Tianxin took a step forward, and the light and shadow on his body surged up in a dazzling light, like a god.

However vast his treasure trove may be, it was still trapped within the Secret Realm Pearl, merely a small object under Chen Guan's fingertips.

"If you want them to live, it's not difficult, as long as you're willing to kneel down, kowtow, admit your mistakes, and beg me," Chen Guan said, looking at the three men with interest.

At his level and realm, killing is no longer the ultimate goal. Only by seeking a breakthrough within humanity can one possibly take that final step.

Chen Guan's goal is not as simple as dominating the Divine Land. Even without the threat of the Ten Heavenly Kings, there is still the danger of the Sky Secret Realm descending in the future.

Chen Guan had witnessed the power of the Sky Realm before; countless generations before had been unable to escape its great purge.

If he wants to end all of that in this generation, he must continue to become stronger.

As soon as Chen Guan finished speaking, Qi Tianxin immediately knelt down on the ground and bowed to Chen Guan.

"I beg you, you can insult me ​​however you want, this is our fate, I just beg you to let them go," Qi Tianxin said.

Qingya was somewhat surprised, not expecting Qi Tianxin to go to such lengths.

Bu Changning remained silent, his eyes fixed on Chen Guan, who seemed like a creator in the void.

"Qi Tianxin, you've got guts. Since I've agreed to your request, then so be it. One of them can leave alive. You decide who lives and who dies," Chen Guan said calmly.

"You promised me you would let them go," Qi Tianxin said angrily.

“I did promise you, but I didn’t say everyone could live. You kowtowed once, so I’ll let one person go. What’s wrong with that?” Chen Guan said.

Without saying a word, Qi Tianxin kowtowed again, then looked up at Chen Guan and said, "Is it okay now? I'll kowtow as many times as you want, I beg you, let them go. Their grudges have nothing to do with us."

"You think you can just let me go like that? Where does that leave my dignity? I've already said that only one person can live, and that means only one person can live. Don't think that you can kowtow one more time, or even a thousand or ten thousand times. No one can change what I've said," Chen Guan said calmly.

“Godfather, there’s no need to beg him anymore. I’m not leaving. I’m staying. If we, father and son, work together, even if we can’t kill him, we’ll at least take a piece of his flesh…” Bu Changning said, staring at Chen Guan.

"Nonsense! Get out of here! Get out right now!" Qi Tianxin shouted angrily.

"Interesting. Are you sure you're not leaving?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"I'm not leaving," Bu Changning said resolutely.

"Even if you knew this woman's name was Qingya, would you still choose to give up the opportunity to leave here?" Chen Guan said calmly.

With just one sentence, Bu Changning's psychological defenses were shattered, causing the originally resolute Bu Changning to pause for a moment, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Qingya.

Qingya was shocked. She was using a technique to reverse fate, not an ordinary disguise. Even people like Qi Tianxin and the big boss couldn't see through her true identity.

This person was able to directly identify her true identity and origin, which surprised and angered Qingya, and made her even more respectful of Chen Guan.

"Are you Qingya?" Bu Changning asked, staring coldly at Qingya.

"What Qingya?" Qingya frowned and asked back.

"Looks like it really is you." Bu Changning glanced at her and then paid no more attention to her.

Having gone through so much, Bu Changning has long since let go. In his eyes, Qingya is no different from any other blade of grass or tree by the roadside, unable to stir his emotions at all. "Tell me, are you still going to give up the chance to live and let her leave alive?" Chen Guan asked, looking at Bu Changning.

"Whether she leaves or not is none of my business. If my godfather doesn't leave, I won't leave either. Before I die, no one can touch a hair on his head," Bu Changning said calmly.

"Haha, interesting. In that case, I shall keep my promise and let one of you leave alive." Chen Guan laughed and looked at Qingya.

Qingya was furious, thinking she could finally leave alive.

She thought that with her current abilities, even if there were people in the world she couldn't defeat, she would still be able to escape.

Unexpectedly, they are now being suppressed, and their fate is in the hands of others.

"Fortunately, Bu Changning is a great victim of injustice..." Qingya thought to herself.

But the next second, Chen Guan pointed his finger at Qi Tianxin: "Only one person can leave alive. I've decided, that person is you. Do you want to leave?"

Following Chen Guan's finger, a portal opened in the void, leading to the outside world.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, never expecting that the great demon would make such a choice.

Qingya was in turmoil: "This man truly deserves to be called a great demon. His methods of manipulating people's hearts are in no way inferior to mine. However, he overestimated Qi Tianxin and also overestimated human nature. Apart from that great traitor Bu Changning, no one would give up such an opportunity."

Sure enough, Qi Tianxin took off without saying a word, flew through the door, and left without the slightest hesitation.

However, after Qi Tianxin passed through that portal, her figure actually passed through another portal that opened on the other side, and she was unable to leave this place at all.

"You..." Qi Tianxin glared at Chen Guan, furious and embarrassed: "The mighty demon Qingbai has actually broken his promise."

"When did I ever say I was a great demon? Even if I were a great demon, you actually believe what a great demon says. You must have some misunderstanding about the word 'great demon'." Chen Guan said contemptuously, "Qi Tianxin, no matter what you do, you can't escape death today. Don't bother anymore."

As he spoke, Chen Guan gently pinched the Secret Realm Bead, and the surrounding space immediately contracted, intending to crush Qi Tianxin to death.

Surprisingly, Bu Changning stood in front of Qi Tianxin.

There was no anger on his face, nor resentment in his eyes. He simply stood in front of Qi Tianxin and calmly looked at Chen Guan.

"You're willing to risk your life to protect him, but he abandons you. You still risk your life for him. Don't you hate him?" Chen Guan asked Bu Changning with some surprise.

Bu Changning remained completely calm, but his body was burning—in a physical sense.

Black flames were engulfing his body, burning his flesh and blood to ashes.

“I have resented and hated a lot, but today I have come to understand that resentment is the most useless emotion in the world. The world will not change because of my resentment, and no one in this world will suffer because of my resentment.”

Bu Changning's body quickly turned to ash, but after the ashes dispersed, a body, like smoke and ghost, remained where the flesh and blood were connected. It was indistinct and seemed not to be a real substance in the world, yet it was indeed there.

“No matter how he treats me now, his devotion to me over the past seven years cannot be faked, so he cannot die, nor can he die before my eyes.” As Bu Changning spoke, his flesh and blood body had completely burned to ashes, leaving only a black ghostly figure standing there, seemingly between nothingness and reality.

"His life... belongs to me... I will take it myself... Death is far from enough..." The ghostly figure opened its mouth and eyes, blood spreading within them, an indescribable eeriness and terror.

His mouth was smiling, but his eyes held boundless pain and torment.

In Chen Guan's mind, the voice recording the top-secret files rang out again.
