Chapter 289: Chapter 179 The Man Decides to Die
Chapter 289 -179 The Man Decides to Die
Chen Qing understood Yan Shiyin’s meaning by this point.
This was the way Yan Shiyin had chosen to die.
Or rather, the only way to live.
After Chen Qing had written “Nanli Common Gu Theory·Power Gu Chapter” and achieved great success,
Chen Qing had replaced him, becoming the heart of the people.
Chen Qing’s territory would no longer be so easily stirred into rebellion by him.
Now, as long as that book was spread in Nanli, Chen Qing’s rule would be unshakable.
As for hoping Chen Qing would become foolish and lose the people’s support, Yan Shiyin dismissed such ridiculous words with a laugh.
A cultivator, after all, was one who existed to cultivate oneself and could give up everything.
If still indulged in the mundane world, one would not have such power.
The greatest difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person was their fundamental judgment abilities, having long been accustomed to the simple life of weathering the elements.
The splendor of worldly matters was nothing more than fleeting glances in the eyes of a cultivator.
With forces inferior to Chen Qing’s, even the commanders not as good, and certainly not the power to match Chen Qing, leaving their only dependency on people’s hearts incomparable to Chen Qing,
Yan Shiyin had only one path left.
To wait for death.
He couldn’t even attack Chen Qing at this time, which would be deemed unjust by all of Nanli.
In the mortal world, losing righteousness might still be overlooked.
But not for cultivators, among whom, was there someone who wasn’t a master of understanding?
If the path of cultivation had reached its end, waiting for death, though despairing, did not feel humiliating.
After all, it truly signaled the end of the road.
But now, this kind of waiting for death made Yan Shiyin feel a bit desolate and aggrieved.
So, among countless dead ends, he grabbed hold of a last shred of hope.
That was to kill Ji Dang.
Everyone knew Ji Dang was chosen by Da Yan to oppose the Master of Mortal World.
If he could kill Ji Dang, then Yan Shiyin could prove he still had the power to contend and raise a new banner.
His banner would be that he was the future Lord of the Dead World.
Chen Qing picked up the wine jug and poured a cup for Yan Shiyin.
Yan Shiyin picked it up and drank half, “Seventeen years ago, it was a night of heavy snow.”
“I watched as my sister was forced to drink the potion that kept her from growing by the Great Prince.”
“Sisi’s body never grew, her meridians were incomplete, she couldn’t cultivate.”
“I sought help everywhere, but no one would save her.”
“Since then, I understood I could only rely on myself.”
“So, even if I am destined to fail at Qingxu, I will never surrender.”
“I choose one last fight.”
Chen Qing then asked, “Why come here?”
Yan Shiyin laughed heartily, “If I win, I will return to continue vying with you.”
“But then, not for the sake of killing you.”
“You’re useful to all of Nanli; I won’t kill you.”
Chen Qing emphasized, “You can’t kill me, nor do you dare.”
Yan Shiyin replied, “Say what you will.”
“I will ask King Wu to mediate, allowing me to enter the Death Realm to compete with the Master of Mortal World.”
“In the eyes of Nanli’s kings, your role will be larger than that of the Lord of the Dead World.”
“The position of Lord of the Dead World is just a temporary struggle, but a Nanli Cultivator will impact all of Nanli’s cultivation world for ages.”
“If I kill Ji Dang, I believe the kings won’t refuse this proposal.”
He paused, drank the rest of his cup, “If I am defeated.”
“I ask you to take care of my sister and take in the remaining Mystic Gate Army.”
He smiled wistfully, “Rest assured, anyone with deep enmity against you, like Ying Xiaoxiao, Cheng Tianyou, Chou Ying, and the like, I’ll take them all with me.”
“If I am defeated, none of them will return alive.”
“You will easily take over the remaining Mystic Gate Army.”
With these words, Yan Shiyin stood up and walked toward the outside of the army formation.
Chen Qing stood up, waving his hand, “Let him go!”
Shi Xintie was slightly puzzled, “Lord Wei, this man has tried to kill you many times. You cannot believe his sweet words.”
Chen Qing shouted, “He is a true hero.”
“A hero should have a hero’s death!”
“Let him go!”
At this moment, Chen Qing was not acting out of some hero’s sentimentality. He simply believed that Yan Shiyin’s departure would surely lead to a one-way journey.
Intercepting Ji Dang at Da Yan’s border was destined to be a perilous venture.
If Ji Dang died, then there would be more time to prepare.
He needed time.
The Death Realm was vast, gathering all of Ghost Face Realm across the world.
He needed to become the strongest among them and eliminate all those enemies.
It was a war that would never surrender.
The Death Realm had always been about life and death, nothing in between.
Therefore, he needed time to fully develop his Dragon Cavalry.
Moreover, even if Yan Shiyin won, he might not win against him.
At that time, although Yan Shiyin would gain enormous prestige in Nanli, his power would have undoubtedly weakened.

Even if the kings mediated and agreed to let Yan Shiyin enter the Death Realm first to test the waters,
That could only be beneficial for himself.
More scouting stones, why not?
He wouldn’t mind fighting one less battle.
In the end, Ji Dang still posed a greater threat.
Compared to Ji Dang, Yan Shiyin was just a force he could suppress at any moment.
But Ji Dang could easily mobilize the national power accumulated over millennia by Da Yan.
That was the true monster.
The army made way for him, and Yan Shiyin leisurely walked out of the army’s encirclement, mounted his horse, and gave Chen Qing a slight bow, “Farewell, my rival!”
