Chapter 2041: Speak Properly

Screams of agony rose and fell across the ground!

Gu Baiping and Gu Changsheng both lay limp on the ground, twisting incessantly.

Especially Gu Changsheng — after crying out a few times, he didn't even have the strength to shout anymore.

He Pingsheng clapped his hands, his gaze settling on the last person: Daoist Tianchong!

"Fellow Daoist Wang..." Daoist Tianchong's eyes were filled with dread. "Let's talk this out properly!"

"Anything I can do, I'll definitely satisfy you!"

"Fellow Daoist... Gu Changsheng wasn't actually lying to you just now!"

"As heirs of major sects and great powers, we do indeed each have a restriction on us — once we condense the God-Slave Mark, the God Emperor will arrive in an instant!"

"This point — absolutely impossible to do!"

"Is that so?" He Pingsheng sneered at Daoist Tianchong. "You think I'm ignorant, trying to deceive me with lies?"

"No no no..." Daoist Tianchong said. "I really didn't lie to you!"

"Hmph..." He Pingsheng snorted coldly. "Since you say that once you condense the God-Slave Mark, my lord God Emperor will arrive in an instant!"

"Then... why don't you condense it?"

"Condense it, your God Emperor master comes over, finishes me off in a split second — wouldn't that be even better for you?"

He Pingsheng stared at Daoist Tianchong!

Daoist Tianchong's face turned pale.

What he said wasn't wrong!

But this restriction has limits.

First, if the distance is too far, even a True God can't sense it!

And this time, they were simply too far from the God Emperor.

So when condensing the God-Slave Mark, the God Emperor most likely wouldn't be able to reach them.

Second, once things reach that step, even if the God Emperor returns to save them, their status as God Emperor disciples is finished.

What a joke!

Dignified disciples of a God Emperor, crushed by a cultivator of the same realm?

What value would they have left?

"Fellow Daoist Wang... I can explain..."

Bang...

Bang bang bang...

"You can explain in a couple days!" He Pingsheng fired off four Buddhist seals in rapid succession.

Three people lay side by side on the ground, twisting.

He Pingsheng then unhurriedly returned to the grand hall.

He wanted to see if there was anything else in the hall, and also whether he could find some clues to leave this space.

But after searching left and right for a long while, he found not a single clue.

The grand hall was empty — nothing at all!

He Pingsheng took out that Primordial Chaos Origin again to examine it.

It was clearly not the time to refine this thing right now.

He put the Origin away again, then walked out of the hall.

Half a day passed; the three people no longer screamed, but all still lay on the ground writhing and rolling.

He Pingsheng walked over, reached out and patted Gu Baiping once — this woman instantly went limp on the ground like she was paralyzed, not moving a muscle.

After a full ten-odd breaths, she finally steadied her ragged breathing and asked, "Ask away!"

He Pingsheng said: "Done with the dramatics?"

Gu Baiping didn't respond.

He Pingsheng: "Hmm?"

"No no no..." Gu Baiping sat up with a start. "Fellow Daoist Wang, please ask... anything I know, I'll tell you!"

"I, Gu Baiping, swear — I absolutely will not deceive you, otherwise may I suffer the heavenly thunder punishment sent down by the Sovereign God!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Tell me, how did you know the Time True God's Dao foundation was being devoured?"

"Who told you?"

He cared deeply about this question, using it to probe indirectly and see what relationship this woman actually had with Wang Shixiong Wang.

If she was Wang Shixiong Wang's woman, he absolutely couldn't accidentally harm her.

"Er..." Gu Baiping, seeing He Pingsheng actually ask this question, paused slightly. "Just that?"

He Pingsheng said: "Just that. Speak!"

"There isn't any!" Gu Baiping said. "That was me making it up — at the time I just wanted to attract your attention, make you lower your guard so I'd have an opening for a sneak attack!"

"So it was just me randomly spouting nonsense!"

???

He Pingsheng's mouth fell wide open: Your grandmother's... this...

Made up?

"Meaning... the Time God Emperor's Dao foundation wasn't devoured by the Dao-Sacrificing Yin-Yang Cicada?" He Pingsheng countered.

"Yes!" Gu Baiping said. "It wasn't!"

"All made up by me!"

"I just swore an oath — I absolutely didn't lie to you!"

He Ping Sheng nodded slightly.

On the surface he was calm, but in his heart he truly let out a breath of relief.

However, he reckoned that the Time True God right now certainly would not think so.

So many yuan of time had passed; He Ping Sheng did not believe the Time True God had not sensed it.

"Right now I give you two roads to walk!" He Ping Sheng stared at Gu Baiping: "Become my slave!"

"Or, I slaughter you!"

"You choose yourself!"

Gu Baiping shook her head: "Fellow Daoist Wang, actually... I am already someone else's female slave!"

"Cannot become your divine slave!"

As she spoke, the godhead in Gu Baiping's heart flickered for a moment, and then a divine slave mark flashed forth from her sea of consciousness.

This showed that Gu Baiping right now was already someone else's slave.

There would be no mistake!

"This lowly body... this lowly body's master, is an uncle within my clan... I... I am already his person!"

"No way!"

When she said these words, there was not the slightest complaint, but rather a kind of bashfulness and delight.

He Ping Sheng knew, this was probably an illusion, an illusion revealed by the rules after becoming someone else's slave; as for what the process was like, and how much filth was hidden within, probably only the two of them knew.

The problem also came.

Since she could not be taken as a female slave, could she be killed?

No!

Killing her held no benefit whatsoever for He Ping Sheng.

After all, the matter of the four of them in the Abyss — perhaps many people already knew; if this Gu Baiping died inexplicably at his hands, what awaited him would be the God Emperors' soul-searching.

But...

Could not take her, could not kill her.

What to do?

The key is this woman is still someone else's slave; once back, the slave asks a little and she will spill He Ping Sheng's affairs.

Very difficult.

Pa...

He Ping Sheng could not think of any good method for the moment, so he again bestowed a Great Heart-Devouring Seal on this woman, letting her continue twisting on the ground.

At the same time his Divine Sense moved, and he forcibly dragged this woman into his magic treasure space.

Next, was to stop the Buddhist seals on Gu Changsheng and Tian Chong Daoren.

The two men also panted heavily in exhaustion; after a dozen or so breaths they recovered.

"I know, you two most likely both have substitute puppets or such life-saving items on you!" He Ping Sheng looked at the two, saying blandly: "But you should also know, this is a special space; after you are reborn, you will still appear here!"

"So, as long as I want to slaughter you, the two of you certainly cannot live!"

Tian Chong Daoren instantly softened: "Yes yes yes, what you say is right!"

But Gu Changsheng instead had a face full of hard resolve, saying: "Kill us, and you won't live either!"

He Ping Sheng said: "What, still want to continue lying on the ground twisting?"

Gu Changsheng said: "I speak facts; flattery is useless. You want to negotiate with us, then negotiate something practical!"

"Wang Dun, you can torture me, but you should also know, the Equality Zone's time limit is not much left!"

"Once the Equality Zone's time passes, we will recover to God King cultivation!"

"When that time comes, it will be you who dies!"

"So right now, you seem to hold the initiative, but in reality your choices are not many!"
