Teal Lotus grabbed He Xiao and Beauty Dan in each hand. Lu Yin grabbed Shigu with one hand and placed his other hand on Teal Lotus Yu's shoulder, ready to retreat at any time.
Surprisingly, when he approached Jiuwen, Red Hero did not move.
He thought he would attack.
The calmer Red Hero was, the more unsettling he felt.
Lu Yin looked at Red Hero and then at Jiuwen. Both of them had calmed down.
"Are you done?" Red Hero asked slowly, staring at Jiuwen.
Jiuwen took a sip of wine, "I'm done."
Red Hero looked at Teal Lotus Yu, "Since when did you guys start plotting against me?"
Lu Yin did not understand. He did not see what Teal Lotus Yu was plotting against Red Hero. Jiuwen did, but in the end, it did not bring any harm to Red Hero. He did not know the whole thing. He was too passive.
Teal Lotus Yu said, "I didn't expect you to come back so quickly."
Red Hero's gaze was cold. When she heard Teal Lotus Yu's words, she smiled, "Why?
What else can you do if I don't come back? "
"You want to capture Xi Shangfeng too?"
Jiuwen shook his head and laughed, "That won't happen. After all, Xi Shangfeng is half the master of this turbid treasure. If you touch him, you don't need to come back. The turbid treasure will activate itself."
Red Hero's gaze fell on Lu Yin, "You shouldn't have come."
Lu Yin did not know what to say. He did not know anything. What Red Hero had learned under the stars all these years seemed to be fake. It was Jiuwen who purposely let him know.
The truth he learned was completely different from what was happening now.
His thoughts were in a mess.
"But only you can do it."
Red Hero said again, "I don't believe that all of this is within your plan. No one can predict everything. You can't do it."
Teal Lotus Yu said,
"You underestimate karma. If there's a cause, there's an effect. That's what I'm best at."
Red Hero looked deeply at Teal Lotus Yu, "Then in your karma, what will the result be if you fight me to the death?"
Teal Lotus Yu took a deep breath, "You die, I die."
"Is it worth it?" Red Hero asked again.
Teal Lotus Yu's gaze was solemn, "You are the biggest traitor of humanity."
Red Hero laughed in disdain. "If it weren't for a traitor like me, how could your civilization have survived?"
"I wasn't the one who used you as bait, but the one who saved you was me, the traitor. Qing Lian, who do you think is right?
Who's wrong? "
Qing Lian Yu said, "But if you did not betray the Ninth Base, the Ninth Base would not have been defeated."
"That's only after you become the bait," Red Hero shouted, his eyes full of disdain, "Ninth Base?
Humans?
Hypocrisy is the biggest label of a civilization. The nature of a living creature is to live. It doesn't matter if there is one or a billion of them, as long as they are alive, it is fine. I am alive because there is a Red Specter under the Stars. If I die, there will be no Red Specter under the Stars. "
"Nonsense."
Jiu Wen's voice was very loud, spreading through the heaven and earth. "If I rely on a traitor to survive, what am I, a Red Coat under the Stars, for?
How could he face his ancestors?
How are you going to face the inheritances of the human race? "
Red Hero sneered, "Inheritance?"
"Do you think it's time for inheritance?
Without me, would you be able to survive? "
"Go and ask the people below. What civilization do they care about?
What inheritance do they care about?
As long as you are alive, it is fine. It is I who protected you. Otherwise, without you in this era, even if the Ninth Base was not defeated, the continuation of life would not be you, but another group of people. You will never appear. "
"All of your lives.
It is all given by me. "
"It is because of my betrayal that you were born. If you do not exist, what does the glory of humanity in this universe have to do with you?"
"Can you see?
No matter how big the universe is, no matter how many civilizations there are, no matter how glorious the future generations are, when you close your eyes, there will be nothing left. "
"You all exist because of me, Red Hero. No one has the right to blame me. I betrayed the Ninth Base, not the current Red Specter under the Stars."
Jiu Wen's eyes widened. "The inheritance of a human is the continuation of the spirit. The ancestors did not fear death in exchange for their lives. It is the fearless belief of the human race. Red Hero, you will never see it clearly. That is why you are a traitor. That is why you dared to betray the entire human race."
Red Hero laughed. "Good, good belief. Then let this belief accompany you in death. I want to see where this belief and spirit will go if the entire Red Specter under the Stars is gone." After he finished speaking, he raised one of his hands.
At the edge of the universe, Xi Shangfeng's eyes were dull. He walked towards the blood tower step by step. With every step he took, his flesh was connected to the blood tower.
The blood tower was made of human skin, and to activate it, it required the flesh of an Eternal Life Realm.
Xi Shangfeng had been a sacrifice for Red Hero to activate the blood tower from the beginning. The Extreme Pain technique was also a necessary endurance for him to become a sacrifice.
If he could not withstand it, he was not even qualified to be a sacrifice.
Compared to Xi Shangfeng, it was much worse.
Red Hero's eyes were cold. He kept enlarging the blood tower, oppressing the stars and bringing a bloody light. Countless people saw it. From outside the universe, the entire Red Specter civilization's universe was dyed dark red.
Lu Yin could not help but ask, "What is he doing?" He felt invisible.
Rong was uneasy. It was as if he was facing a blade, and it was an invisible and unstoppable blade.
Jiu Wen was calm. "He wants to bury the entire Red Specter civilization."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Bury the civilization?"
Qing Lian Yu's expression was solemn. "Is this the turbid treasure you mentioned?"
Jiu Wen's gaze was complicated.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Isn't he afraid of karma?"
This was an entire civilization. Furthermore, this civilization had Xi Shangfeng and Ba Yue, who were at the Eternal Life Realm, as well as Chu Songyun and Xie Man, who were peak experts below the Eternal Life Realm. The Karmic Binding of these people was enough to make any Eternal Life Realm expert wary.
It was not worth burying a civilization for the sake of a battle of ideals.
Qing Lian Yu said, "There is karma, but it is Jiu Wen's."
A chill ran through Lu Yin's mind, and he understood that Jiu Wen had been the one who had been constructing this turbid treasure from the very beginning. Just as Lu Yin had seen in Yu Karma's past, Jiu Wen had killed countless people and used their skins to lay on top of the turbid treasure. In the end, he had built this blood tower.
In other words, if this turbid treasure was used to bury the entire Red Specter civilization, Red Hero would have nothing to do with it. The karma would all belong to Jiu Wen.
Lu Yin looked at Jiu Wen's back. He was scheming against Red Hero, but Red Hero was also scheming against him. From the beginning, Jiu Wen was connected to the turbid treasure.
It was no wonder that Jiu Wen could gain Red Hero's trust. It was not only because he helped to build the turbid treasure, but also because of the karma.
Red Hero did not care about civilization, but Jiu Wen did.
Using a turbid treasure could completely lock Jiu Wen down.
Red Hero's expression was calm, and so was Jiu Wen. The two looked at each other. From the beginning, they did not trust each other.
However, Red Hero needed Jiu Wen's help in the beginning. Jiu Wen could not betray Red Hero at that time.
Red Hero was meaningless.
What was the use of just telling the truth?
What he wanted was to kill Red Hero and eradicate the greatest traitor in human history.
Jiu Wen moved and walked towards the blood tower like Xi Shangfeng.
"Jiu Wen," Qing Lian Yu said in a low voice.
Jiu Wen's voice was calm. "The worst step has come. There is no need to say more. This is my retribution."
"Qing Lian, I can only leave him to you. I'm sorry. I wanted to fight him, but I was trapped."
Qing Lian Yu nodded silently. "We overestimated his humanity. Lu Yin, let's go."
Lu Yin looked at Jiu Wen and then at Qing Lian Yu. Without hesitation, he teleported away.
Red Hero's expression turned ugly as he ran away. He stared at Jiu Wen and asked, "You?"
Jiu Wen looked up and smiled at Red Hero. "I built the turbid treasure. Naturally, I should bear the responsibility. Red Hero, if you want to bury civilization, you can do it yourself." With that, he took a step forward and entered the blood tower. He sat down cross-legged. Beside him was Xi Shangfeng.
Red Hero's expression changed. "You are actually willing to sacrifice yourself. Jiu Wen, you are an Eternal Realm cultivator who is compatible with two laws. Is it really worth it?"
Jiu Wen did not answer. He sat down in the blood tower and atoned for his sins.
Red Hero was unwilling to accept this. He clenched his fists. He had been tricked.
In the distance, Ji He watched in shock. He did not expect that Jiu Wen would be the one who tricked his master. They did not know what happened, but he knew that he was also part of Jiu Wen's scheme against his master. Everything started when they entered the water prison.
…
"Everything started when I first met Jiu Wen. It was a long time ago, when I had just broken through to the Eternal Realm." In Ye Hai, Lu Yin had brought Mister Mu and the others over to listen to Qinglian Yu's narration.
"Humans wanted to search for their own race.
It was the same for us, and it was the same for Jiu Wen. Coincidentally, at that time, I had just broken through to eternal life through karma, and Jiu Wen happened to pass by here. He noticed it and met me. Then, he let me know some things and went to the Red Coat civilization under the stars when Red Hero was not around … "
Qinglian Yu looked at Lu Yin. "Like you, I gradually understood the Red Shirt civilization below the stars. Although there were no Eternal Realm cultivators at that time, there were other Eternal Realm cultivators who cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness. Over there, what I really wanted to understand was not the Path of Ruthlessness, but Red Hero.
"Unlike you, who found out about Red Hero's past through karma, I found out about it directly through Jiu Wen. After that, I made a series of plans."
Qinglian Yu's gaze was complicated as he looked at Ye Hai. Even though they had been in contact with Qinglian Yu for so long, Qinglian Yu and the others did not know what he was talking about.
"Red Hero is very strong. He was an absolute expert during the Ninth Defense Era and was second only to the Base Master, Hong Shuang. At that time, he had already aligned with the laws of the two universes. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Jiu Wen and I to deal with him. It could even be said that it was impossible, especially since Red Hero had joined the unknown and was backed by the Immortal Plume Civilization.
"That's why after a long time of research, the current situation was created.
"We let someone lure Red Hero out, but that person could not be killed by Red Hero. Jiu Wen and I solved the problem of Red Hero's 120% Path of Ruthlessness and wore down his strength. Red Hero's true combat strength came from his 120% Path of Ruthlessness. No matter what he obtained from the unknown and the Immortal Plume Civilization, it could not compare to his 120% Path of Ruthlessness.
Therefore, as long as we wore down 120% of his Path of Ruthlessness, we could weaken Red Hero.
"That goal has been achieved."
Lu Yin said, "What about them?"
"Thank you for your support, Brother 61190457. Thank you!
Thank you for your support!
