C1613 Persuasion
There was suddenly a deathly silence between the two of them!
Although Qin Shaojie only said that one sentence, it caused Zhuo Li's entire expression to change. He did not know why Qin Shaojie said that he did not have much time left, but seeing Qin Shaojie's serious expression, he knew that he was not faking it, and was afraid that Qin Shaojie had really gotten into some big trouble.
He could also clearly feel that Qin Shaojie's current life force was extremely exuberant, and his aura was even more uniform and thick. He really couldn't understand what exactly had happened to Qin Shaojie, but no matter what, he was currently extremely agitated in his heart. If everything was as Qin Shaojie had said, then not only would it be fatal bad news for the Nine Peaks Tower, it would also be extremely passive in the sect. Once Qin Shaojie left, the Nine Peaks Tower and the sect would definitely suffer an unprecedented impact!
How much time was left?
After a long while, Zhuo Li finally opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice.
If it was fast, then it would only last two years. If it was slow, then it wouldn't last more than three years. Qin Shaojie's expression right now was also quite complicated. He could clearly feel the changes in his body caused by the Golden Crow Sword as it became more and more fused with his body. This phenomenon had even caused some changes in his own aura, but in comparison, it had also greatly improved Qin Shaojie's strength. But precisely because of this type of increasing fusion speed, the impact of the Golden Crow Sword on Qin Shaojie became even greater.
If he was unable to step into the Supreme Realm within the set time limit, it would mean that his physical body would no longer be able to withstand the Golden Crow Sword's demands. At that time, the only possibility would be his body exploding and dying.
He had already made his preparations a long time ago, but Qin Shaojie was even more clear that there were some things that he had to settle before this. Otherwise, once the backlash of the Golden Crow Sword approached, he would not be able to resist at all. If he was unable to resolve the matter that was left in the Nine Peaks Tower or the Tian Yuan Continent, even if he were to die, it would be filled with regret.
This was also what Qin Shaojie was really worried about. He had never told anyone else, not even Wu Ya and the others who were closest to him. Only Wu Xin knew about the entire process, but today, in order to tell Zhuo Li about the urgency of what had happened, Qin Shaojie finally let go.
Zhuo Li was a cautious person. If he did not give a reasonable explanation, he would not gamble with everyone else. It might be the best way for him to win, but he believed that Zhuo Li did not have any possibility or reason to doubt the authenticity of his words.
There was no longer a need to lie to those who had already reached this level.
Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word after hearing the news? After all, if this was really the case, the final outcome for the people from the Nine Peaks Tower and the Gate of Healing would be quite miserable. After a long while, Zhuo Li looked at Qin Shaojie and spoke. His words were rather straightforward, without any sort of roundabout way of saying it.
If anyone else heard this, they would have been stunned. They would have been filled with hostility towards Zhuo Li, and they would have attacked him on the spot without any hesitation. After all, if they made their own allies become their enemies, then for the Nine Peaks Tower, this would not just be a matter of danger.
However, at this moment, Qin Shaojie's face did not show any signs of worry. On the contrary, that kind of calmness and relief, seemed to not have any surprise at all towards Zhuo Li's thoughts and actions.
I have said it before, the road the Nine Peaks Tower will take will definitely be filled with thorns, even if it means opposing the entire world. Shaking his head, Qin Shaojie spoke slowly and softly. He had already prepared for the worst. At that time, the Nine Peaks Tower would have become the enemy of three other sects, and if not for the nine deficiency, he wouldn't have interacted with them at all. Therefore, if Zhuo Li had any other thoughts, Qin Shaojie would not be surprised at all, because even the worst case scenario wouldn't have been as bad as he initially thought it would be.
Moreover, I believe in your character, and I also believe in the eyes of senior nine deficiency back then. Of course, even if that was the case, the current Nine Peaks Tower would not surrender without a fight. He didn't care about the change in Zhuo Li's expression, but continued speaking. Although his words sounded gentle, they were filled with determination!
The Human Door may have changed, but from the day of its establishment, the Nine Peaks Tower no longer had any path of retreat. No matter how difficult the path ahead was, his only choice was to continue forward without caring about anything else! There was no other way!
Before he came, Qin Shaojie had even prepared for the worst, but he still didn't want this situation to happen.
He might not care about life and death, but he did hope that the Nine Peaks Tower would be kept alive, or at the very least, at least. Only by joining the sect could this possibility be greatly increased.
You are a wise man, and a man who has made history. However, when you say that you don't have much time left, you should be clear about the possible consequences if the sect made a move now. Shaking his head, Zhuo Li's words were full of meaning. The only person who he truly admired over the years was Qin Shaojie. "Even Chu Feng and Quan Yang didn't have such a place in Zhuo Li's heart. Yet, it was this young man who had such a bright future ahead of him, telling him that the future was dark. He was truly sighing.
Qin Shaojie's growth in these past few years had been too fast. Not only his identity and status, the changes in his strength and level had also made his feel terrifying. Back then, he had faintly sensed that there was something amiss within it. Now, it seemed that his guess was correct. Such a rapid increase in realm and strength still left behind great repercussions. This kind of increase in realm and strength, in Zhuo Li's eyes, was entirely at the cost of his life.
This method was an absolute taboo within the entire human race, or even the Hundred Races!
Of course, he also knew why Qin Shaojie had no choice but to fight against the Heaven Gate and Earth Gate. Otherwise, the moment he fell, not only would the Nine Peaks Tower face a crisis of internal division, but even more so, it would face a destructive attack from the Heaven Gate.
The Nine Peaks Tower was his pride and also his representative. Once he died, even if he died, he wouldn't be willing to accept it!
If Qin Shaojie was still alive before, then Zhuo Li had no choice but to consider it. After all, Qin Shaojie's growth was too fast, and he might not be able to find an ally like the Nine Peaks Tower anymore. But now, Qin Shaojie had directly and clearly told him that his lifespan was almost up. Under such a situation, Zhuo Li was caught unprepared.
Using the most straightforward words, the value that Qin Shaojie could showcase right now was quite limited. This kind of value was definitely not worth it for people to not care about standing by the side of Nine Peaks Tower, and more so not worth it for people to fight for their future because of his relationship.
If the sect rejected you this time, would the Nine Peaks Tower continue with this battle? His eyes squinted, looking at Qin Shaojie, Zhuo Li took a deep breath and asked seriously.
No matter if the sect was willing or not, the Nine Peaks Tower would still make a move this time. Of course, we know the risks involved, but there are some things that have to be done. With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Qin Shaojie said indifferently. He had indeed made such preparations, and knew that there was such a possibility. Therefore, when Zhuo Li brought it up, Qin Shaojie was still not too shocked or worried. He was well aware of the risks involved!
Humans were beings that were selfish. Most of their actions would be adjusted according to their own interests. Sometimes, one could even guess the result of such an adjustment. Therefore, if Zhuo Li had rejected him today, although Qin Shaojie was a little disappointed, he would not have felt too much surprise.
You can be at ease as well. I can understand any choice or decision that you or the others have made, and even more so will not fall out with you or even attack you just because of your choice. As if he had seen through Zhuo Li's true worry, Qin Shaojie also said with a smile. He knew that the thing that Zhuo Li was truly afraid of was that if he were to immediately eliminate the Nine Peaks Tower in this situation, it would attract the crazy attacks from the Nine Peaks Tower.
However, these words reached the corner of his mouth many times, but no matter what, he couldn't say it out loud. After all, his identity and status did not allow him to ask about it directly.1
However, it was Qin Shaojie's straightforward reply that made Zhuo Li's expression change slightly as well. When he looked at Qin Shaojie again, the expression in his eyes became more complicated. After all, if he were to reject Nine Peaks Tower's offer, it would be a piece of cake for him to add insult to injury if Nine Peaks Tower wanted to. Furthermore, in this situation, there was nothing they could do.
Although my Nine Peaks Tower will not deliberately make things difficult for others, once the war ends, no matter what the outcome is, my Nine Peaks Tower will definitely not have anything to do with them. Of course, if my Nine Peaks Tower is lucky enough to stay, then we will meet again in the future. With his arms stretched out, Qin Shaojie's gaze also looked towards the distance.
He had said all that he should, and he had said all that he should not.
He was clear that regardless of whether Zhuo Li would stand on his side or not, at the very least, the news would not spread out easily. Of course, even if it did, it wouldn't be important, because it would not affect Qin Shaojie's determination to fight; After all, the cooperative relationship between the Nine Peaks Tower and the disciples had caused them to become dependent on each other. In the eyes of the majority of the disciples in the sect, they could not lose their Nine Peaks Tower s.
How confident are you?
However, just as Qin Shaojie was about to leave, Zhuo Li still asked in a soft voice.
I don't know, but I can try, and I have no choice. His feet slightly stood up, and Qin Shaojie also hesitated for a moment.
At the very least, even if you lie to me now and then, you should at least increase your chances of winning against me. Hearing Qin Shaojie's reply, a bitter smile appeared on Zhuo Li's face. This fellow actually wasn't even willing to tell a single lie?
Then if I tell you that you have a seven-level chance of winning, will you believe me? Under the barrage of questions, Qin Shaojie also faintly smiled.
They were all powerful existences at this level, so there was no point in lying. It was true that Qin Shaojie still had a trump card that he had not told Zhuo Li, but what he hoped for the most was true help, and not some so-called pity and entanglement of interests.
Forget it, this might just be fate. Give me three months to prepare. Three months later, the great army gathered.
If even your Nine Peaks Tower dares to risk it all, then what is there to be afraid of about? I'll follow you to the end of the line!
With a deep voice, he swept away the haze from before, and a towering heroic spirit also howled out from Zhuo Li's body!
