Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

Instead, he raised his voice to the group of bigwigs:

"None of you dare to draw from this special giant roulette wheel! Since you've already drawn it, what's wrong with me drawing it too?"

"If you all agree to grant my request, I, the Candle Demon, will surely remember your kindness!"

"If I unfortunately manage to kill myself, then my estate is yours to divide freely!"

"I nodded in agreement before I died, so the Sequence Alliance won't say anything more."

"Besides, if I hadn't beaten myself to death..."

“Then I am willing to accept the Sequence Alliance’s punishment again.”

"At the same time, the land and assets I own in the North District, as well as the Soul Servants and the Blazing Fire Army that I have carefully cultivated, are all available for you to divide among yourselves!"

Clearly, they're negotiating terms.

Jiang Yi became even more certain at this moment—

This old ghost with the candle probably really has a health problem.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so obsessed.

Clearly, those big shots understood this from his words.

But it's a pity.

None of the other bigwigs spoke.

Instead, it was City Lord Woruo, who was holding Jiang Yi down, who sighed softly in the direction of the Candle Demon:

"But, you old ghost, Zhu Laogui..."

"It's not that I don't want to help you."

"But this city of myriad races does not belong to you, nor to me."

"Nothing within this nine-story tower is something that you or I can decide."

“We also have a huge sequence alliance behind us.”

"That's a huge shackle, one that you can't shake with a few words of friendship or self-interest..."

As he spoke, the city lord, who appeared gentle, friendly, and like a kind old man, sighed softly and said earnestly:

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Let go, Candle Demon."

These words sound like words of comfort and advice between two longtime friends.

However, the wisp of consciousness that Jiang Yi was attached to on the Blue Fang inexplicably sensed a different meaning.

He had a strange feeling that this old fox city lord was clearly implying something in his words!

Especially that line, "Do you know what I mean?"...

It sounds very similar—

The city lord stopped the Candle Demon's actions simply because of the rules of the Sequence Alliance.

But deep down, he didn't mind the Candle Ghost lottery!

The thought flashed through Jiang Yi's mind, and he became even more suspicious!

Perhaps the other big shots were genuinely trying to stop the Candle Demon's actions.

But this city lord was just putting on an act out of compliance with the rules!

It's even quite possible that he's already secretly buying time for the Candle Demon!

Correct!

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of—

If we really want to stop the Candle Demon, then making him use the rules of time is the best way!

But the city lord stopped him from the very beginning, preventing him from using the rules of time to stop the Candle Ghost!

Even now, despite all the high-sounding words he's saying, he shows no intention of letting go of him!

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yi instantly understood!

That damned city lord is clearly giving the Candle Demon a free pass!

No! It's very likely they released the sea!

With his terrifying strength, how could he possibly fail to stop the Candle Demon!

He was clearly just putting on an act because of the rules of the Sequence Alliance.

really.

Jiang Yi's wisp of consciousness, attached to the Blue Fang, saw the change in the Candle Demon's expression again.

Perhaps at this moment, the old man also realized that the city lord was secretly helping him!

The old man's dark eyes darted around.

Suddenly, with a touch of sadness, he called out loudly towards the direction beyond the disc:

"As you all have probably already figured out, my reason for participating in this lottery is not simply to become stronger, but because I have some problems with myself."

As he spoke, his free left hand suddenly reached into the ghostly body.

Soon, he pulled the dim yellow candlelight, which was immersed in the ghostly shadows, onto the palm of his left hand.

The candlelight, held in the palm of the hand, seemed to dim even more in an instant.

It looks like it won't last long and could be wiped out at any moment.

This scene caused the expressions of the bigwigs in the five corridors to change drastically!

Even the continuous attacks on the Candle Demon stopped instantly!
