Chapter 219: All Cards on the Table, No More Pretending

Come.

Why not come?

Shen Qingli had already guessed the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Sect, so she knew this would happen.

"Old Shen over there..." Jiu Li looked toward the South Palace.

Old Shen really is poisoned; he doesn't have much time left.

"A Li, are you going to pretend to surrender to them first?"

"They won't let me pretend to surrender."

Shen Qingli knew very well that if she returned to the Dao Palace, she only had one option.

Only this option could save her father.

"What can we do then?" Jiu Li scratched his head.

Shen Qingli said nothing more; she had already returned to the Dao Palace alone.

After all, Tai Jin still had to guard the origin source of the Kunlun Divine Lord.

And this is exactly what Tian Yi wanted to see.

"You're not even taking Tai Jin, nor summoning the Jin Wu?"

"That kind of evil power naturally shouldn't be witnessed by too many, especially those who are familiar."

Tian Yi fully understood Shen Qingli's actions and knew exactly why she did it; otherwise he wouldn't have set this trap for her.

"You're that confident? What if she gets backlashed by those three old immortals?"

"Then she doesn't deserve to join my Heaven and Earth Sect."

"Consider yourself poisoned."

This way, the plan is practically foolproof.

If Shen Qingli dies, they can capture the Three Four Spirit Divine Emperors.

If Shen Qingli lives, she will publicly unleash the Swallowing Technique, and the Divine Court will surely not tolerate her.

Either way, the Heaven and Earth Sect wins; but if Shen Qingli dies, the Young Lord won't bypass Tian Yi—what does that have to do with Di Er?

Di Er, lifting his black cloak, gazed in the direction Shen Qingli had left, feeling somewhat moved: "I never expected that in just two years she would have grown this far."

If Shen Qingli were here, she would surely recognize that sighing old man as one of the two who had gone to fetch Di Jin back then; the other, naturally, is the Tian Yi standing beside him.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that." Tian Yi felt that the events of that year seemed as distant as countless eons.

Back then, he and Di Er suppressed their cultivation, crossed realms to retrieve the Young Lord—let alone this little girl; although the Young Lord's aura was strong, his cultivation hadn't awakened yet, so he could still be controlled.

Now he can sense that the Young Lord has surpassed him in strength!

But since he knows the Young Lord's weakness, he must eliminate him.

Shen Qingli—either die or join the Heaven and Earth Sect; under no circumstances can we let the Young Lord be distracted.

For that, what's wrong with him dying?

"I still hope she doesn't die."

Di Er knows very well that the Young Lord places great importance on Shen Qingli.

If she were dead, he dare not even imagine it.

……

Half a day later.

Exit of the Dao Palace's teleportation array.

As soon as Shen Qingli appeared, the familiar formula arrived.

The difference is——

Last time, those who stopped her were merely minor lackeys sent by the Lou Observe Snow Sect.

This time, those who intercepted, did not, and surrounded her for the hunt were Meng Zhang, Jian Wuji, and Shao Guan Wu.

Speaking of which, they came last time too, but last time they were here to "recognize kin," whereas this time it's different.

"Shen Qingli, why don't you surrender?" Shao Guan Wu sneered.

Jiu Li rolled his eyes: "Just spouting nonsense."

Shao Guan Wu flew into a rage: "You dead kitten, this time I'll definitely tear out your tendons and bones!"

"What about the Queen Mother of the West?" Shen Qingli didn't bother trading insults with them.

"You don't need to know that; you just need to be clear: you either surrender now, or we will directly apprehend and execute you." Meng Zhang had already drawn the Azure Dragon Divine Whip, its emanating Dragon Source Divine Breath especially intimidating!

Jian Wuji had also unleashed the Origin Source Divine Axe, and Shao Guan Wu, who had just argued with Jiu Li, was holding up a jet-black shield.

These are all their Origin Source Divine Artifacts!

They are also Heaven and Earth Divine Artifacts containing pure Four Spirits origin source!

Just like Zhong Minglan's Crimson Tassel Spear, they are their lifelong divine objects.

Facing this junior Shen Qingli, they all unleashed their lifelong divine objects, showing how greatly they feared her.

"Truly shameless!" Jiu Li was fuming—three such old things actually teamed up to deal with A Li!

"My face has long been rubbed into the dirt by you." Shao Guan Wu no longer cared; he had already lost all face, completely humiliated!

Jian Wuji and Meng Zhang still cared about face, but with no one else around, nobody would know what they did to Shen Qingli today.

"Do you think I'll walk into your net?" Shen Qingli retorted.

"The Fusang Divine Tree? Go ahead and release it." Meng Zhang no longer hid his greed; his target was the Divine Tree! Once he refines the Fusang Divine Tree, he need not worry about his divine power not surging!

By then, he could break free of the Divine Court's shackles; whether the Divine Court is later destroyed or not is none of his concern—no great catastrophe will ever be his tribulation!

"You are mine." Shao Guan Wu's target is actually Jiu Li! He truly intends to tear out Jiu Li's tendons and bones and devour him!

After all, Jiu Li's attributes are similar to his.

Even, Jiuli actually also comprehended Taiji primordial force!

Heh, even if they can't find a way to break through Shen Qingli's shackles, devouring Jiuli could still let his power surge!

By then, who would still care about the Shen Ting! Dao Palace!

Moreover, at that time, would Zhong Minglan still dare to look down on him? Haha! Absolutely not.

Once he succeeds, the first person he will capture will be Zhong Minglan! Let her look down on him, then he will surely make her more obedient and submissive than Qin Su Nu.

Despicable!

They're all despicable!

Shao Guanwu's eyes were already red!

The more one can endure, the more twisted their inner self becomes—just like Shao Guanwu.

Jian Wují might actually be the most normal of the three; his only goal is, "Hand over the secret to awaken the Four Spirit Divine Meridians, and I can withdraw directly."

Old Jian, you—

Don't look at me like that; we were never on the same boat, each taking what we need.

Jian Wují simply doesn't care what Meng Zhang or Shao Guanwu think; they were never brothers to begin with.

How about it? If I withdraw, you should have a chance to win, right?" Jian Wují said directly.

Meng Zhang's old face turned black! He truly hadn't expected Jian Wují to change sides mid-battle.

Fortunately, Shen Qingli cannot be swayed.

Not really.

Shen Qingli watched the three Four Spirit Divine Emperors surrounding her.

From the moment she realized they had deceived people, she had already decided to retaliate against them.

Now then…

Shen Qingli, as long as you're willing to join my Heaven and Earth Sect, I'll help you.

Di Er still couldn't bear to see Shen Qingli die; he had no way to explain to Shao Jun!

The one who stepped out still straightforwardly revealed his true face.

At that very moment, Shen Qingli's originally calm emotions were directly shaken!

It's you!

Shen Qingli certainly remembers the person who took away Di Jin, who also deceived Di Jin, leaving him trapped in the Heaven and Earth Sect to this day!

It's me.

Di Er stepped out slowly, also producing a porcelain bottle in his hand.

As long as you agree, I'll give you the antidote right now; you don't need to worry about those three—they'll be colleagues in the future.

You weren't saying that before!" Meng Zhang's face went cold—too many variables!

Shen Qingli looked at the porcelain bottle in Di Er's hand; that was exactly what she wanted most.

She couldn't afford to gamble!

Dad, nothing must happen!
