Chapter 1505: Wu Yu is Dead

Wu Yu was already doomed.

The two identities of Wu Yu and Chifeng Immortal Lord might very well be tied.

And once they were, the consequences would be too dire to behold.

If not for Luo Pin, that would still be viable. He could simply switch identities.

But Wu Yu had gone to such lengths and followed her to the sky palaces. How could he abandon her in the face of danger?

He cherished every bit of time they had together, and they were inseparable.

For Sky Will Dragon King, who had even lent out his Fallen Battlefield, he was breathing quite strongly down their necks. If they did not come up with something soon, they would also be in trouble.

No matter what identity they concocted, the murder of Tian Jian Dragon Lord and the others was a fairly heinous crime. If they were exposed, the consequences would be dire.

Danger was everywhere, with every path holding nothing but risk. Wu Yu was forced to choose amongst them. Although he would need to give something up, but it might be the only way among ways.

He thought it over many times, and then hugged Luo Pin, saying: "Since nothing is feasible, then I was thinking - what if I completely give up the identity of Wu Yu? There might be a chance of life."

He had risen from a mortal to become an immortal, whereas all these immortals in the sky palaces had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and even millions of years for the eternal immortal emperors. This was their territory, and Wu Yu had caused so much trouble. All he could hope for was to live on.

"Give up? How?" Luo Pin held on tightly to his waist, asking softly.

Now that they were in such danger, the two still stuck close to each other, and that gave Wu Yu strength.

With resolve in his eyes, he said: "I mean that from now on I will use the identity of Tian Que Dragon King. After some time, I will become Tian Que Dragon King, and return with you to Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm."

"Just Tian Que Dragon King and me? Then who is the culprit?" Luo Pin was a litle confused. Because they had been trying so hard all this while to create a killer, and then Tian Que Dragon King would return alone, casting blame away from Wu Yu and Luo Pin.

A phantom that had killed them even while they were chasing Wu Yu and Luo Pin.

But presently, they had exhausted all options for this fictional character, even Chifeng Immortal Lord. There had been nobody suitable, because they could not come up with a motive.

No one would decide out of the blue to kill Tian Jian Dragon Lord and others of that status. They were the grandchildren of the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor.

This sort of lie was very easily seen through. It required more and more lies to keep up, and the dangers were immense.

Therefore, Luo Pin did not understand. If she and Tian Que Dragon King were to return, what about Wu Yu? Who was the killer?

Wu Yu said: "Tian Que Dragon King will return with you, and the killer of Tian Jian Dragon Lord and the others is Wu Yu. However, Wu Yu has already died in battle. There will be no more Wu Yu in this world, only Luo Pin and Tian Que Dragon King."

"Ah?" Luo Pin had not expected that he would even give up his most fundamental identity.

Wu Yu continued: "It happened like this. I, Tian Que Dragon King, chased Wu Yu with my three siblings, even borrowing the Fallen Battlefield from my father, Sky Will Dragon King. With Fallen Battlefield, I successfully controlled you and Wu Yu. I wounded him seriously, and brought him close to death. At this time, Tian Jian Dragon Lord, Aurora Dragon Lord, and Tian Ming Dragon Lord all wanted to take revenge, and they rushed out of the immortal design. I naturally thought Wu Yu a neutralized threat. I let my guard down. But that Wu Yu was a savage one. Seeing his own death incoming, he pettily used a forbidden immortal technique, the Soul Sacrifice: Three Life Extinguisher immortal technique. I was careless and could not stop them in time. Wu Yu took my three siblings with him to the grave, and all four died without leaving a trace behind! As for me, I could only bring you back to Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm."

This was the story that Wu Yu had created.

Luo Pin mulled on this story for a long time, considering its feasibility and looking for holes.

Wu Yu said: "Tian Que Dragon King and the others came out to kill Wu Yu, that was a selfish act. It’s nothing to be proud of, and there was much proof of you and Wu Yu having relations. Therefore, this is a blown-up fiasco. Ending in a tragedy. For the mystical dragon tribe, the scapegoat of everything was Wu Yu. You did not take a hand throughout, and it doesn’t concern you that much. As for me, Tian Que Dragon King, I have to bear the responsibility for my carelessness. Perhaps when we go back we will both be punished, but we would be able to duck this crisis most ingenuously, without any danger to our lives."

"Most convenient of all, the identity of Wu Yu will be thoroughly gone. There will be no link to Chifeng Immortal Lord, nor can any be drawn. In the identity of Tian Que Dragon King, I will remain in Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm and can have many opportunities to meet you. We can slowly cultivate a relationship. Crucially, I can remain in Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm for tens of thousands of years, waiting out the Chifeng Immortal Lord crisis to pass. I can even use this name to meet with you openly. All in all, this is the most complete plan we have in these times."

Wu Yu interacting with Luo Pin as anyone else besides a mystical dragon would rouse suspicions. As for the identity of Tian Que Dragon King, he was highly-born, and the only one who could meet Luo Pin without raising eyebrows.

However, for a while, they would not be able to do as they pleased in public.

Also, abandoning the identity of Wu Yu for Tian Que Dragon King would allow him to meet Luo Pin openly, and also allow him to escape danger, especially the Chifeng Immortal Lord crisis. It would kill two birds with one stone. After all, what he needed was a position of high status that would not be easily troubled.

The identity of Wu Yu had already been used before he entered the Great Void Immortal Path. Now that it was doomed, it was time to abandon it.

Luo Pin stretched out a hand to cup his face tenderly: "Then, will you still tell others that your name is Wu Yu......"

Wu Yu smiled. "Perhaps. Maybe one day, when I am very, very strong, and no longer afraid of the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor, of Mighty Miracle God, of the Beiyin Necropolis Grand Emperor. Or perhaps I have other capital that allows me to be open about it. Otherwise, how would I be willing to tell others that I’m Tian Que Dragon King? Of course I want to be with you openly, using the name of Wu Yu and no other!"

It was given that a stray puny immortal like himself would have to change his name in order to survive here in the sky palaces. He could live with it. There was no perfect choice in this world. That he could think of this idea to thoroughly give up the identity of Wu Yu, it was already the most replete solution.

"When this all blows over, perhaps we will have more choices then. What do you think about this idea?" Wu Yu asked.

Luo Pin pursed her lips. "Might be the only viable option we have. After all, they are chasing you, and even Sky Will Dragon King knows that. Therefore, no matter what fictional persona is created, it would be hard for the two of us to escape scrutiny. Make Wu Yu part of the script, and then you can take Tian Que Dragon King’s place. That is the most reasonable plan. Those that don’t know you will not be able to guess the truth. It’s as close to waterproof as it gets. Now it’s up to us, whether we can act well enough to fool them." She pointed out.

Wu Yu nodded. "In the end, for Sky Shadow Dragon Queen and Sky Chariot Dragon King, their children’s deaths come back to you as the source of trouble. They will naturally think you an accomplice, and might even threaten you. At that time, I can speak up on your behalf, and Uncle Wu Jun and the others will definitely do their best for you. However, there will be difficult times ahead. I am so sorry......"

This method was definitely more dangerous for Luo Pin than Wu Yu.

As long as Wu Yu did not expose himself, he would not die. At most he would be seriously punished for not properly protecting his younger siblings.

"It seems like Sky Will Dragon King is very interested in my progress. If it seems like I am a genius, the chances of being punished might be relatively low as well. Plus with my parents pleading on my behalf, it should be more or less negated. A little bit of trouble means nothing. As long as I can be with you, and we can live on together, seeking out eternal life, all will be worth it."

She said with deep feeling. It moved Wu Yu. Although this method was more dangerous for her, but she did not mind at all. She would brave any hardship, her only fear that their future together was over. As long as there was hope, she could work hard. No amount of hardship or punishment would get her down.

"At that time, I will do my best to put the blame on Tian Que Dragon King and myself. The more that can be forced onto Wu Yu, the more we guarantee your safety. But if your life is in immediate danger, I will not sit by and watch."

Luo Pin smiled. "Of course. If we are truly unfortunate, we could just die together. Then we would always be together as well."

As she spoke, her intelligence and warmth made Wu Yu feel the deep love that she had for him. This was love, one that could make one forget life and death, to give up all the emotions that one was chasing. They helped each other through tough times, and lived and died together. It was the dao that everyone longed for the most. The two embraced, mutually moved by their feelings for each other. An emotional connection that was rare in the world.

"Because I am loved by you in this lifetime, I can die without regrets."

Wu Yu vowed, his eyes hot with passion.

"Isn’t it better if we can have eternal life better?" Luo Pin was not so pessimistic. Even now, her smile was filled with fortifying strength.

"Of course. Screw the other eternal immortal emperors, all the 9 Great Dragon Emperors. No one can stop us! One day, I will make sure they know my real name! I am not Tian Que Dragon King, nor Chifeng Immortal Lord, and not Qing Xuan Immortal Lord or Snow Region Immortal Lord. My name is Wu Yu!"

He was overcome with feeling before this person, who he loved more than anyone else.

Luo Pin smiled at him, her eyes overflowing with adoration.
