Chapter 5635 Maybe I’m Wrong

Jian Wushuang knew that Zhen Ling had seen through his internal hesitation. He quickly denied, “I haven’t even had the chance to express gratitude; how dare I entertain such thoughts? This great kindness, Wushuang will remember forever!”

“Hmph!” Zhen Ling snorted coldly, not in a good mood. “You haven’t even merged with the Dao, and you’re already thinking about running away with your family. Do you think you can remember my favor?”

“Umm!” Jian Wushuang felt awkward.

Initially, Zhen Ling had told him that he could open a passage to send him into other spacetimes. Now, it seemed as if he was accused of planning to escape.

Indeed.

He had ruined one of Zhen Ling’s pawns.

His commitment to Hu Qing was significant.

From the first reincarnation mastery to the Three King Courts later on, Zhen Ling had evidently invested considerable effort.

How could he betray that for the sake of a Dao Lord like him?

“Lord Zhen Ling, the potential of Hu Qing is known to both of us. We can’t afford to waste it like this!” Jian Wushuang decided to be direct, breaking through the veils. Zhen Ling was taken aback when he heard this. Jian Wushuang was a master at playing dumb, so why was he suddenly so straightforward?

“Oh! You think I’m wasting his potential?” Zhen Ling said, his aura suddenly rising, staggering Jian Wushuang, almost making him fall.

After stabilizing himself, Jian Wushuang clasped his fists and respectfully said, “Subordinate did not mean that. It’s just that, considering Hu Qing’s character, as the Lord surely knows, he is not ungrateful. He doesn’t need Jiang Shang’s involvement; he won’t harm Qishen Temple!”

“Is that so? Do you know that he once attacked the Azure Dragon for that Jiang Shang?” Zhen Ling’s face showed anger.

When Hu Qing attacked the Azure Dragon, Zhen Ling had almost given up on him.

If Mie Sheng hadn’t appeared and taken away Jiang Shang, Hu Qing would either have fallen or been suppressed.

Now, he could only be a chess piece, which was not bad.

After hearing this, Jian Wushuang shook his head, his tone heavy, “You’re mistaken!”

He expressed his inner thoughts.

The reason Hu Qing intervened with the Azure Dragon was that he didn’t know what Jiang Shang harbored inside him. He just wanted an explanation!

The original Jiang Shang had no intention of threatening Qishen Temple.

So, Hu Qing intervened to stop the Azure Dragon Temple Master.

But things had changed now; Jiang Shang had gone to the Temple of World Annihilation.

Even if Hu Qing remembered past affections, he wouldn’t join the Temple of World Annihilation like Jiang Shang.

At the same time, Jian Wushuang understood Zhen Ling’s concerns.

What if he nurtured a potential threat?

But he had absolute confidence in Hu Qing.

It was absolutely impossible!

Although the Zhen Ling’s expression softened, it remained stern.

“Perhaps I was wrong, but Jian Wushuang, you better understand more than anyone else. In the current Qishen Temple, even if I am wrong, we cannot afford any accidents!”

Jian Wushuang stood upright, looking at Zhen Ling. At that moment, he suddenly understood some of Zhen Ling’s pain.

A Zhen Ling, supporting this Qishen Temple.

Still striving to fulfill the Qishen’s last wish!

To make the Qishen Temple great again!

After bidding farewell to the deity, Mie Sheng arrived.

The most crucial factor was still the Qishen.

It seemed that Zhen Ling saw the true face of the Qishen.

You should know that the Qishen is Zhen Ling, and Zhen Ling is the Qishen.

Although Zhen Ling is bound to the Qishen Temple, it is more like a spiritual array.

But he has some memories of the Qishen and even habits.

This was a greater blow to Zhen Ling.

“My Lord, perhaps none of us are wrong; it is this era that is wrong!” Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth, his tone heavy. “We, the geniuses of the heavens, are unwilling to become pawns. I hope you can understand!”

Zhen Ling slowly turned his head, looking at Jian Wushuang on the side. A hint of anger surged in his eyes, then disappeared again.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear it, nor was it moved by Jian Wushuang’s sincerity. It was that he saw a glimmer of hope in Jian Wushuang, or perhaps he saw the future in him.

At that time, Jian Wushuang could shake the heavens and earth!

He was an unparalleled powerhouse!

Only such a powerhouse could possess such a temperament.

He indeed didn’t misjudge the person.

“Share your plan!” Zhen Ling’s expression softened, and he proactively inquired.

Jian Wushuang, seeing an opportunity, directly revealed his thoughts.

After merging the Dao, he wouldn’t leave alone.

Instead, he intended to take a group with him.

This wasn’t an act of fleeing.

Though Jian Wushuang was sometimes unscrupulous, he had a clear understanding of the favors from Qishen Temple, especially considering Mie Sheng’s primary purpose was for him.

Eventually, they would have to confront it.

However, he needed time.

To cultivate in other temporal rivers and return after reaching the Tribulation realm.

Initially, when he heard Zhen Ling offering to send him away, he had no intention of taking others with him. But since learning about the future, he devised a daring plan.

He was preparing for a strategic retreat by using an empty city strategy on Qishen Temple!

He would select a group of individuals with the most potential to accompany him to other temporal rivers. This move was not just for a better cultivation environment but also to leave behind a spark.

After witnessing the grim future, Jian Wushuang had no choice but to think this way.

If he relied solely on himself, even reaching the Tribulation Realm would take a long time, perhaps reaching the Five or even Six Tribulation realm.

Zhen Ling’s confidence in him didn’t automatically translate into his own self-assurance.

The future held the power to decide everything.

Just like how he had always been confident in the Dao Merge, only to fail.

If it weren’t for his complete Dao Heart, he might have never emerged from the shadows of the future. There was significant resistance to his pursuit of the Dao Merge.

Now, things were different. With a fulfilled Dao Heart, the hope for the Dao Merge was very high.

That’s why he proposed drawing a group of people out to leave together.

It was just to be on the safe side.

After hearing this, Zhen Ling hesitated for a moment.

After all, the powerful individuals cultivated by the Qishen Temple had consumed countless resources.

Sending them away like this, what if they never returned?

It was a gamble!

“Can you guarantee that?” Zhen Ling asked.

Jian Wushuang naturally knew what guarantee was meant. He immediately swore to the Origin Source.

“I mean the others!”

“My Lord, we can have them make an Origin Source Oath too. Don’t worry, they won’t dare not to return!”

Zhen Ling still had some concerns and continued, “What if they suppress their cultivation level?”

Jian Wushuang had already thought about this.

He explained, “My Lord, among our group of Inheritors, even if there are such individuals, they are not qualified to enter other temporal rivers. Those who are qualified won’t have such intentions, as they are unaware of the immense power of Mie Sheng!”

This explanation satisfied Zhen Ling to some extent. After nodding, however, he did not give a definite answer.

Jian Wushuang knew that such matters required Zhen Ling some time.

After waiting for a while, the topic shifted, and they began discussing Mie Sheng.

“As for the matter of Mie Sheng, it cannot be revealed to the public for now. His identity is very mysterious, even I cannot speculate!” Zhen Ling shook his head.

That was acceptable. However, it seemed that Zhen Ling knew less about Mie Sheng than Jian Wushuang did.
