Chapter 968 You Can't Kill Me
Upon hearing Cao Luo's words, Yun Jin's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Cao Luo and said, "How interesting. You, a student from the academy, would say such a thing. Are you trying to lead us astray?"
Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu also turned their gazes toward Cao Luo at the same time!
Cao Luo took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then I didn't need to help you kill Ge Qi and these people just now."
At this point, Cao Luo glanced at Yun Jin and said indifferently, "Tell me, if you were marked by the other party and forced to submit to the Heavenly Court forever, would you be willing?"
"Of course I'm not willing!" Yun Jin said with a sneer. "For me, there are only two paths: live and become an emperor, or die in battle and be enslaved by them. I absolutely cannot do that!"
Cao Luo sighed and said, "Yes, I wish I could do that too, but now I've already been marked by them."
Lin Qianyu asked, "Speaking of which, I have a question. Who planted your mark? What are its effects?"
“The people from the academy!” Cao Luo said, “I’ve never seen him, or rather, I’m not qualified to see him right now. He’s at least a Saint-level expert. As for the effect, it means I can’t disobey the academy’s orders. I can’t refuse whoever they want me to kill!”
"Oh?" Yun Jin said, "That doesn't make sense. Didn't they ask you to kill us?"
“This is an order from the Heavenly Court, and the Genius Battle is different from other battles,” Cao Luo said. “The Academy did not give me this order directly.”
“Aside from that, they won’t interfere with me too much, but… I’m not content with this!” Cao Luo said, “So, let’s cooperate; we have the capability!”
As he said this, he glanced at Jiang Shengyu, who was not far away!
Jiang Shengyu quickly said, "I didn't hear anything."
“He’s from the Jiang family. He saw all of this, and it’s not good for us!” Cao Luo said.
"The Jiang family?" Yun Jin's pupils contracted. "The Jiang family of the Fuxi Star System?"
During the conversation, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qing frowned and said, "Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Leaving aside what we discussed, even if he only knew about your wife's Vermilion Bird Divine Bone, once that's exposed, the Heavenly Court will absolutely not allow you to leave here. You killed an Immortal at the late-stage Transcendent Realm; if that news gets out, the Heavenly Court will also never allow you to leave!" Cao Luo said, "You seem to not quite understand what it means to kill an Immortal at the late-stage Transcendent Realm!"
"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked.
“If it’s a higher civilization dealing with a lower civilization, for example, an immortal expert from a level five civilization, he might not even have any Heavenly Extreme combat skills. But even so, he still couldn’t kill a late-stage transcendent inheritor from a top-tier civilization,” Cao Luo said. “Because it’s too difficult for a transcendent to unleash an attack of immortal strength, and only attacks of that level have the potential to kill an immortal!”
"Not to mention, the one you killed was the inheritor of a top-tier civilization!" Cao Luo said, "Such a thing is unheard of. Even if you asked your wife or Yun Jin now, they wouldn't have absolute confidence in facing the immortals of these top-tier forces!"
“If this kind of news gets out, the Heavenly Court won't let you live,” Cao Luo said, pointing at Jiang Shengyu. “So, this kid has to die; it's better for everyone!”
Jiang Shengyu's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will absolutely not tell anyone, I swear."
“Only the dead are trustworthy!” Yun Jin said.
Ye Qing had a headache. If Jiang Shengyu heard these things and actually told others, it would indeed have a huge impact. Both he and Yun Jin would have a way out. Once the Genius Battle ended, they would most likely run away as soon as possible.
But... what about Cao Luo?
If this news gets out, he will almost certainly die.
Jiang Shengyu looked flustered and said, "I really won't tell."
"You come from a level nine civilization, and we're going to deal with you in the future. You wouldn't tell us? You're kidding me!" Yun Jin didn't believe him at all!
"Believe it or not!" Jiang Shengyu rubbed his forehead and said, "Besides, to be honest, you can't kill me!"
"Oh ho!" Yun Jin's eyelids twitched slightly as he said, "You're quite confident!"
“Space…” Cao Luo’s expression darkened.
He was about to make a move!
"call out!"
In the next instant, Jiang Shengyu transformed into a streak of white light and vanished from his spot. He said calmly, "You can't keep up with my movement technique. Although you possess terrifying abilities, there are many things in this world that cannot be determined by one's abilities!"
Cao Luo's pupils contracted as he said, "The Jiang family's ultimate movement technique, 'Chasing Light'? You actually managed to master this ultimate movement technique?"
"So if I want to leave, you can't stop me at all!" Jiang Shengyu said. "I'll say it again, I have no interest in what you want to do, and even if you really go to war with the Heavenly Court, that's a matter for countless years to come. I won't mention what you've said today. As for the future, if I'm on the side of the Heavenly Court and we meet on the battlefield, you can just kill me!"
Seeing Jiang Shengyu, who was only a teenager, say such things, Ye Qing felt a little sad. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, but you really should avoid this!"
Jiang Shengyu nodded, then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
"How did you get involved with guys from a level nine civilization?" Yun Jin asked, his brows furrowing slightly.
Ye Qing recounted the story of Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Shengyang.
Cao Luo nodded and said, "The Jiang family does indeed have such an abnormal rule. The Jiang family has a strong bloodline, and this rule can indeed enable their younger generation to rapidly improve their strength. Therefore, their bloodline is vigorous and they are very competitive."
"That's fucking insane!" Yun Jin said. "Ye Qing, what do you think of Cao Luo's question?"
"Me?" Ye Qing said, "Our existence is not permitted by the Heavenly Court. They cannot truly allow us to grow naturally; they will inevitably continue to attack us, so..."
At this point, Ye Qing said, "If that day ever comes, we can cooperate! But as Jiang Shengyu said, that's too far in the future. That's something we'll consider after we become Great Emperors. Right now, we haven't even reached Immortality. There are countless people in the Heavenly Court who can crush us."
“That’s right!” Cao Luo took a deep breath and said, “As long as we reach the Saint level, as long as you can help me get rid of this mark on me… we can give them a real headache.”
