Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

dusk.

Zhu Wuyao emerged from Nanli City, took out the Pinghe Cauldron, and released Song Kezi.

The resentment surrounding Song Kezi was almost overflowing, because... when the Pinghe Cauldron was sealed, the space inside was too limited for any living thing to survive, and he was suffocating!

He looked around and roughly determined that he was outside the city of Juque.

He took two deep breaths, jumped up, and said:

"Even if you go into the city, don't put me in the cauldron! What if you die? Who will release me?!"

"I don't want to die with you...!"

Surprisingly, Zhu Wuyao seemed to be in a good mood and didn't beat him up. Song Kezi ran up to him and said:

There is something in Nanli City that you care about.

Zhu Wuyao did not respond.

Even though she knew that Song Kezi was wicked but could always steer things in a "good" direction, Zhu Wuyao remained very vigilant and would never let him know about Ji Yuezhang's existence.

Back then, before the Immortal Cultivation Conference in Zhongling City, Song Kezi predicted that Ye Xiaozhou would encounter danger.

Although in the end, after many twists and turns, the cause and effect were indeed resolved, and Ye Xiaozhou was able to completely eliminate any worries in the Liquan Realm, the dangers along the way were deadly at every turn, not to mention the drop in Ye Xiaozhou's cultivation level.

The slightest mistake could result in their bodies being completely destroyed.

Another matter is about Shen Xun.

Shen Xun's life was spared, and his "luck" was even returned, allowing him to extricate himself from the vortex of intrigue and sleep peacefully until the great calamity subsided.

This is a good result, but it can hardly be called "good" in any way.

That does fit Song Kezi's style quite well.

In a rather "malicious" way, they managed to achieve a fairly "satisfactory" result.

"Are you going to Nanli City to visit old haunts or to see old friends?"

Song Kezi continued to ask questions incessantly, her eyes flashing with malice, as if she were looking for an opportunity to find something that Zhu Wuyao cared about and take revenge.

Seeing that Zhu Wuyao did not answer, he suddenly laughed:

"I see!

"It must be a good friend you used to travel the world with. Otherwise, it would be fine if you didn't let me know, but why did you only dare to take a look before leaving Nanli City?"

"Ah! I know, you're a jinx, everyone who gets close to you will be unlucky!"

"The people you care about will appear in your story."

"You are afraid of implicating your friends, so you dare not meet them."

"Hahahaha, Zhu Wuyao, you think your friends will— just because you don't go to see them?"

"boom--!"

Song Kezi flew backwards for hundreds of meters. Before he could land, Zhu Wuyao suddenly appeared in the air and slammed his sword hilt into Song Kezi's chest. Dust filled the air, and Song Kezi coughed up blood.

The ground caved in, and Zhu Wuyao held Song Kezi down, drawing his sword and placing it across Song Kezi's neck, already leaving bloody marks.

Song Kezi and Zhu Wuyao exchanged glances and saw the murderous intent that was all too clear.

She was genuinely weighing her options.

"Hahaha... Zhu Wuyao, if you don't go to see him, then..."

But if they are your best friend, wouldn't they take the initiative to come to you?

Zhu Wuyao reached out and grabbed his neck, stopping him from continuing. This was the first time Zhu Wuyao had shown murderous intent towards Song Kezi since they broke out of the Star-Picking Tower and traveled together.

This person is untamable and fearless, so I am not afraid to beat him.

If you act too harshly, you will only harbor malice and seek revenge, holding grudges but not gratitude.

Since I couldn't suppress my murderous intent today, if I let him go, Song Kezi would find a weakness and cause endless trouble. Therefore, killing him and eliminating the root of the problem is the best solution.

"Zhu Wuyao, his death might trigger other unforeseen events!"

"Let's give it a try and see what happens."

Zhu Wuyao stared intently into his eyes, slowly tightening her grip on her fingers.

In that instant, Zhu Wuyao suddenly realized that Song Kezi was a very vulnerable person—

He harbors malice and can easily incite others to kill him. More importantly, he has no power to protect himself. If it weren't for the protection of the Star-Picking Tower, he would have died many times over in the martial world.

It's as if... Song Kezi was born into this world just to be killed by others.

If, as Lingbi said, he and Shen Anzhi are completely opposite sides of the same coin, one with good intentions and bad results, and the other with bad intentions and good results, then Shen Anzhi's destiny has already been revealed: to walk in the world and drive the great calamity. So what is Song Kezi here for?

The pen constantly monitors the changes.

In the moment before Song Kezi died, it suddenly said:

"Zhu Wuyao, after his death, his evil thoughts will spread and pollute all the fragments of the Heavenly Dao remaining in the world. He himself was a vessel for this!"

"At that time, all those connected with the fragments of the Heavenly Dao will become the driving force behind the Great Calamity, and driven by evil intentions, they will destroy all order and laws in the world and carry out a great purge."

"Based on my speculation, this has happened more than once, but the sources of pollution that were released before may have been properly disposed of in all four cases."

"This is a move made by Heaven."

Zhu Wuyao paused his attack.

Those who have access to the secrets of various sects and establish connections with fragments of the Heavenly Dao are bound to hold high positions of power.

If someone like Gu Yiguan intends to wreak havoc on the world... construction may be difficult, but destruction is extremely easy. In that case, it will truly cause a major reshuffle of the four sects, and a new world will be built from the ruins.

No wonder... Sect Leader Fang has no connection with Zi Qi.

She slowly released her hand, and Song Kezi coughed violently and took a few deep breaths.

Just as Zhu Wuyao was about to get up, Song Kezi suddenly grabbed her wrist, pressed it against his neck, and sneered:

"Zhu Wuyao, kill me..."

"If you don't make a move today, I'll assume you're too afraid to kill me."

"I do have something special about me, don't I?"

Song Kezi was testing the waters.

Zhu Wuyao asked in his mind, "How about making him mute?"

"If he is a chosen one like Shen Anzhi, he will probably regain a new ability immediately after having one of his abilities removed."

"Most importantly, if he and Shen Anzhi both become useless and fail to play their role, the Heavenly Dao may automatically generate new drivers of the great calamity, and then... things will become uncontrollable."

Zhu Wuyao was a little angry.

How could Sect Leader Fang not keep a close eye on something so dangerous? Is it something that can be taken in as a personal disciple and kept under constant surveillance? Shouldn't it be kept close at all times?!

Zhu Wuyao was highly suspicious, and probably Gu Yiguan didn't know what was so special about Song Kezi.

Otherwise, given her connection with Ziqi, she would definitely keep a very close watch on Song Kezi.

How could I possibly have had the opportunity to steal such dangerous goods from the Star-Picking Tower?

Her eyes flickered with uncertainty as she asked in her consciousness:

"So, by taking the purple aura, I can sever the connection between Gu Yiguan and the others, and the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, at any time?"

"Yes!"

She took a deep breath and suddenly felt that she might have been tricked by Sect Leader Fang again.

This was to force her to sever the connection between Gu Yiguan and the Purple Qi before she had to kill Song Kezi, and then activate this powerful weapon.
