When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 268 Dialogue with the Great Freedom

The moonlight, like water, rippled and diffused, diluting the dust that Yun Shu had transformed into, gradually fading the last traces Yun Shu left in this world.

But after the dust dissipated, a hazy blood-red color rippled underwater, turning the surrounding area into a pool of blood in a short time.

"Even so, it's still impossible to eliminate the Great Freedom Demon Blood?"

Seeing this, Bai Ze did not panic; he merely raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise.

He used the Five-Colored Divine Light to dissolve all the blood in Yun Shu's body, but the Great Freedom Demon Blood still condensed again from the dust.

It seems I am still a long way from the state of complete freedom.

Even the demonic blood sent by Da Zizai was beyond Bai Ze's ability to resolve; one can only wonder just how profound the true strength of such a powerful being must be.

Even after the demonic blood dissolved, Bai Ze sensed that drops of vital essence were seeping out from the scattered dust and being absorbed by the blood.

Even after the corpse had turned to dust, they still wouldn't let it go. Things from the Great Freedom are indeed hard to take.

After about five seconds, the vital energy and essence had been absorbed, the blood color deepened, and faint fluctuations appeared. It was time for Da Zizai to reclaim the demonic blood.

But at that moment, a sound suddenly came from the blood-red water.

"Want it?"

Reflected on the blood-red water, Bai Ze's image now revealed an eerie smile, speaking in Bai Ze's voice.

"This drop of blood contains the essence of Yun Shu's life and my vital energy. Once you merge with it, the Seven Stars will be within reach, and the limits of human life will cease to exist for you."

The Seven Stars represent the pinnacle of human existence; going beyond that requires transcending the limits of life.

But this limit is the limit for humans, not necessarily the limit for other beings.

Human life has its limits, so one can simply choose not to be human.

It has to be said that this is an extremely strong temptation.

What's more important is——

"The Great Freedom Demon Lord has actually condescended to speak with a mortal like me. Should I feel honored?" Bai Ze said, subtly retreating.

“You are no ordinary person. Treasures like you and Mu Yaoguang are worthy of my attention.”

"Besides, you've given me quite a show, so consider this my reward as a viewer. By the way, I'll take back all the divine sense inside; you just need to treat it as a precious medicinal herb."

The "Bai Ze" in the reflection spoke of the benefits in an extremely seductive tone, even offering to reclaim the divine thought within the demon blood and make the demon blood completely belong to Bai Ze.

"I would be honored to decline," Bai Ze said calmly.

"Why?"

Da Zizai said with great interest, "Are you worried that I have set a trap? Although I have the divine name of the Lord of Hell in the Western Union, I do not intend to reward you with a devil's contract this time."

Wow, you have quite a few aliases.

Bai Ze had only heard of the Conflict Sect in the Western Alliance that believed in Great Freedom, but he didn't expect that Great Freedom had other aliases in the Western Alliance.

"It's simply that we don't need it."

Bai Ze calmly replied, "If there is a need, even if there is a trap, I can overcome it."

"Conversely, if there is no demand, the so-called demon blood is nothing more than something insignificant."

Is the Seven Stars formation difficult?

Is it really that hard to overcome the limits of human life?

Or more precisely, does Bai Ze need the blood of the Great Freedom Demon?
The answer is no.

"Hehehe, hahahahaha."

The "Bai Ze" in the reflection laughed heartily, "Interesting, truly interesting. In your eyes, even the traps I set can be solved by you, if you feel it's necessary. Your confidence and arrogance are truly delightful."

"I hope this joy lasts forever. I look forward to your future, hoping you will contribute even more great performances. Don't end up like Yun Shu, bursting like a bubble." With a joyful laugh, the deep crimson in the water gradually dissipated.

The moonlight shone on Bai Ze again, and the false feeling quietly disappeared.

Bai Ze lowered his head and looked at the water surface where he was standing.

I'm still standing in the same spot.

In other words, the step back that was previously mentioned did not actually exist.

The conversation with Da Zizai was like a hallucination; only Bai Ze heard it.

As for the rest...
Having already taken refuge on a speedboat in the distance, the people from different countries showed no surprise at discovering anything amiss; their only reaction was shock at Bai Ze's strength.

The people from Yingguo and Ursus quickly turned and headed towards their warships to report the situation.

Meanwhile, in Dongxia, a frigate was cutting through the waves to welcome the new generation of leaders of Yujing Martial Arts University.

'And judging from the Great Freedom Demon Lord's tone, he seems to have been eyeing Yun Shu for a long time. So now, is he eyeing me?'

Bai Ze chuckled to himself upon thinking about this.

This feeling is a bit like, "I will always stalk you, forever..."

After laughing, Bai Ze temporarily put aside his fear of Da Zizai.

As long as he doesn't fall into a desperate situation, Great Freedom won't threaten him for the time being.

······

"In the end, those who are destined to die will die."

Mu Yaoguang watched the escort ship sail away and then slowly return, and asked Dean Yun beside her, "Teacher, are you satisfied with this result?"

She, Lu Qiudi, and Ye Weiyang locked onto Dean Yun with their auras, while Xue Hengchuan, the executive director of the Martial Arts Association, was outside providing support.

Even martial artists from other parties had to express their opinions at this moment, subtly restraining Dean Yun.

In Dongxia, fighting against evil gods is the way to uphold justice.

Since Yun Shu has fallen into demonic possession, he deserves to die.

Furthermore, Bai Ze has now risen to prominence, stepping on Yun Shu to ascend to power. As long as there are no conflicts, everyone would not mind giving him a small favor.

Even now that the illusory palace has been dismantled and Dean Yun no longer needs to confine others, it is still difficult for him to make a move.

He could only watch as Bai Ze, who had killed his grandson, returned victorious and ascended to the pinnacle of Yujing Martial Arts University, stepping over Yun Shu.

"What's the point of saying all this now?" Dean Yun sighed dejectedly, looking as if he had aged twenty years.

Both of his grandsons died, and both of them were possessed by demons.

He, on the other hand, couldn't even bring himself to take revenge.

Based on the lifespan of a nine-star martial artist, Dean Yun is actually still in his prime, but his heart is old, and he inevitably shows signs of aging.

“Of course it’s meaningful,” Mu Yaoguang said leisurely. “The more you regret it, the happier I am.”

She was incredibly outspoken, making no attempt to hide her feelings.

Nothing is more gratifying than seeing the enemy regret their actions, and that's exactly the state Mu Yaoguang is in right now.

Dean Yun could only sigh, clearly regretting his actions.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present could tell whether he regretted it or not.

It was a happy family, but now both of their grandsons are dead.

He once had a good apprentice, but now they've become enemies.

And all of this is because of the wrong decision he made.
