Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 1993 - 2013: You have a second option now!_1

"You do put on a convincing act."

In the garden, Kong Ling lazily settled into his chair, mocking glance on Nalan Wushuang in front of him: "You’ve managed to render Xuanyuan Feiying speechless. He probably never thought you’d play along to this extent, leaving him uncertain of how to proceed."

Nalan Wushuang replied calmly: "Then why didn’t you expose me?"

Kong Ling responded lazily: "Whether Lin Chen lives or dies has nothing to do with me. Why should I expose you? After all, you did help me once, fighting on behalf of our demon race. To harm others for no personal gain, there’s no point."

Nalan Wushuang coolly retorted: "If he dies, won’t that rid you of someone hounding after your spirit separation?"

Kong Ling laughed: "For me, this could well be a form of motivation. Besides, even if he gifts me a new body, there are still conditions. It’s not like I’m getting the short end of the stick."

Nalan Wushuang gazed at Kong Ling: "You’ve improved quickly in strength because you followed the Refining Path, right?"

Kong Ling nodded: "Yes, but don’t worry. I’m not like those fools who only prey on ordinary people. Ordinary human essence blood can’t be overly potent. If I’m to take action, I’d go after the most powerful."

"I made some moves before, directly refining many immortals, thus greatly increasing my strength. I hid my real power and didn’t let them know. Last time, I obliterated the entire Heavenly Wolf Palace along with all its senior management, promoting me to a Peak Celestial Immortal. Now, under Da Luo, I’m matchless."

Nalan Wushuang remained silent in response to Kong Ling’s actions. They were of the demon race, who emphasise the survival of the fittest, a concept much more widely accepted than among the human clan.

The demon race slaughtering and devouring each other was all too common.

Nalan Wushuang looked at Kong Ling: "Are you planning to join the Three-Saint Sect?"

Kong Ling smiled: "I am for the Reincarnation Scripture of the Three-Saint Sect. Although the Three-Saint Sect isn’t considered the top grade in the God Falling Immortal Realm, the Reincarnation Scripture is rather overbearing. As for the future, we will cross the bridge when we come to it. With the boundless Immortal Realm and unfathomable Immortal Path, who dares declare they will remain in a single place till death?"

Nalan Wushuang nodded, understanding Kong Ling’s intention. Seeking the support of the Three-Saint Sect was nothing more than an expedient measure.

As someone like Kong Ling, despite coming from the Barren Wilderness with a massive disparity in strength to others, his heart’s pride was no weaker than those Da Luo Venerables, perhaps even stronger!

Kong Ling looked at Nalan Wushuang, laughing: "If it truly comes down to needing Lin Chen to die for you to live, even to the point of you needing to harm him for your survival, what would you do?"

Nalan Wushuang calmly replied: "It’s just a life. Giving it back is all."

Kong Ling nodded: "That’s right, that’s the Nalan Wushuang I know... The Thunder Immortal Domain will soon be a mess due to their meddling. There’s no future in staying with the Thunder Immortal Domain. If there’s a chance, head for the God Falling Immortal Realm. Don’t waste your Innate Dao Body."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Okay!"

After a brief pause, Nalan Wushuang asked: "Is the Immortal Palace doomed?"

Kong Ling shrugged: "A solitary tree cannot make a forest. But even if the Immortal Palace falls, so what? They’re living beings. As long as they’re not stubborn, they’ll escape. Even if the Daluo Venerables come, could they catch up with the escapees?"

"They may want to ease their minds, but if they truly can’t resist any more, I don’t believe they’ll sacrifice their lives. They’ll surely run faster than anyone else!"

Nalan Wushuang subconsciously thought of Lin Chen’s past history of escaping, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

As she was contemplating, her Communication Stone at her waist suddenly lit up.

She picked up the Communication Stone, scanned it with her divine sense, and her eyes reflected an unstoppable surprise.

Lin Chen!

"Come out for some tea?"

Lin Chen actually came!

Nalan Wushuang was taken aback, her reaction instantly caught by Kong Ling across from her.

Kong Ling’s eyes slightly squinted: "Lin Chen?"

Nalan Wushuang looked up at Kong Ling, his penetrating gaze resulting in her swallowing her initial denial.

She was very clear that her instinctive reaction just now could not be hidden from Kong Ling!

"Yes, he’s outside the mountain gate, inviting me to meet."

Kong Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly: "The fact he’s at the mountain gate but not entering implies that he’s already found out something happened to the Heavenly Fox Palace"

Nalan Wushuang didn’t respond, just fixing her gaze on Kong Ling.

Kong Ling chuckled: "Why are you looking at me like that? Afraid I’ll snitch?"

Nalan Wushuang frowned: "Won’t you?"

Kong Ling rose, flicking his clothes nonchalantly: "Since he’s here, you have another option. Although he has no background in the High-ranked Immortal Realm, he hangs out with Yao Xiong. Yao Xiong, as the Master of Immortal Realm, definitely has some influence in the High-ranked Immortal Realm after roaming around for five hundred years. It doesn’t seem unlikely for you to follow him and avoid the Three-Saint Sect, this may be an opportunity for you.

Gracefully heading out, Kong Ling said: "Choose your own path. Besides, I just came to say hello to an old friend. I know nothing about everything else."

Nalan Wushuang watched Kong Ling leave nonchalantly, her gaze somewhat lost for a moment.

What exactly was this guy thinking?
