Chapter 1831 – Black Merchant

　　Hearing this, An Qingyu fell into silence.

　　Even so, what can be done? An Qingyu slowly opened her mouth, The equilibrium exchange has already begun, even if I stop now, I won’t be able to get back the price I’ve already paid.

　　Lin Qiye looked down at the divine beast blood that dissipated on the surface of the Gate of Truth, and after a moment, he raised his fingertips and flicked at his wrist.

　　The sharp blade sliced through a blood vessel, and a large amount of scarlet blood spurted out!

　　I’m the current Grand Xia Vigilante Commander-in-Chief, but at the same time, I’m also the captain of the [Night Curtain] squad.

　　From the standpoint of the Commander in Chief of the Great Xia Vigilantes, I should take advantage of your exchange of price and directly strike to kill you;but from the standpoint of the captain of the [Night Curtain] squad, I prefer Jiang Er to return to this world …… Lin Qiye opened his mouth indifferently.

　　The grudges between camps, let s wait to continue after saving Jiang Er …… At least at this moment, I still consider you the vice captain of the [Night Curtain].

　　The dripping blood splattered on the surface of the starlight tentacle and was immediately greedily devoured by the latter, flowing down the mysterious shimmering light into the magnificent portal between.

　　An Qingyu looked at this scene and was slightly stunned, then raised her head to look at Lin Qiye in the sky above, but in the midst of this thick fog, she couldn’t see his expression.

　　The blood of a Hongmeng Spirit Fetus could be a hundred times more precious than those divine beasts’ blood. Lin Qiye snorted coldly.

　　If it doesn t know enough after taking away your emotions and draining my blood …… I will personally behead this broken door!

　　Moral killing intent was poured into the blood and swallowed into the Gate of Truth without a single drop along these starlight tentacles Lin Qiye stood above the lake of thick fog and allowed his own blood to gush, his face grew paler and paler.

　　What Lin Qiye had cut open was originally an artery, and without any measures to stop the bleeding, the amount of bleeding was extremely terrifying, and not much later, the blood in his body was almost drained.

　　If it was an ordinary person, with such a horrific depletion of his own blood, he would have died on the spot, but for the Hongmeng Spirit Fetus, the toughness of life was far from being comparable to an ordinary person.

　　Lin Qiye didn’t know how much blood he had let out, he only knew that his own consciousness was becoming more and more fuzzy, and an unprecedented feeling of weakness surged through his heart.

　　However, looking at the mid-air shadow of the Gate of Truth, it was still greedily devouring his blood, with no intention of stopping.

　　Before his own blood completely drained, Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed as he directly stopped the wounds in his veins, and a terrifying killing intent was unleashed unreservedly from his body!

　　Step by step, he stepped on nothingness, striding towards the shadow of that Gate of Truth…

　　Beheading the door, he was serious.

　　This Gate of Truth was just a shadow, even if you chopped it to pieces, you wouldn’t be able to hurt the main body. Seeing that Lin Qiye was really going to chop it, An Qingyu took the initiative and spoke.

　　Lin Qiye stopped and after a moment, slowly spoke:

　　So what if it’s a shadow …… I don’t believe that there’s no connection of cause and effect between the shadow and the main body?

　　Even if I can’t destroy this shadow, I still know the location of its main body, and when this matter is over, I will have my teacher’s sword cut down the South Pole and destroy the Time Maze and the remains of its main body …….

　　I’d like to see how it can still trap people at that time.

　　Buzz–!

　　As if it had heard Lin Qiye’s threat, the shadow of the Gate of Truth that stood in the thick fog shook violently!

　　All of the starlight tentacles that extended outward simultaneously retracted towards the inside of the portal, while at the same time, a mysterious radiance bloomed from the doorway, covering the entire erstwhile region!

　　The moment she saw this radiance bloom, An Qingyu suddenly froze.

　　It’s still really effective, huh?

　　If it wasn’t for the fact that she had been drained of her emotions by the Gate of Truth, I’m afraid that even An Qingyu would have been unable to resist starting to curse.

　　As that mysterious light enveloped the Erhai Sea, a magnetic field that had once appeared in the Erhai Sea floated up from between the earth and the lake, like countless beautiful ribbons that fluttered and connected to the sky.

　　An Qingyu stood in the center of this lake, staring at this scene in a daze, and then returned to her senses, her gaze quickly searching through this group of magnetic fields.

　　As time passed, various distinct magnetic fields appeared and disappeared frequently, dazzling the eyes.

　　After an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure slowly floated out from the erstwhile sea.

　　It was a young girl dressed in a long white dress, her long black hair flowing over her shoulders like a ghost from the bottom of the lake.

　　Her eyes were closed and her expression was quiet, as if she was asleep.

　　Jiang Er ……

　　The moment he saw that figure, An Qingyu’s eyes contracted slightly, but at this moment, he couldn’t feel the slightest fluctuation of other emotions from his heart.

　　He muttered that name, as if he was calling out to her, and as if he was reminding himself …… to remind himself that he couldn t forget what she really meant to him.

　　As Jiang’er’s body floated in front of the Gate of Truth, all the other magnetic fields around him dissipated, leaving only a diffuse light flowing over the surface of the lake, making it all seem like a dream.

　　An Qingyu was about to stretch her hand towards the remnants of Jiang’er in the stream of light, when the latter’s body instantly disintegrated, also turning into a mysterious light that swept away in all directions!

　　An Qingyu’s hand, which had reached mid-air, suddenly stopped in place.

　　Deep within his eyes, a flash of bewilderment flashed …… but that was all.

　　Instead, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted when he saw this!

　　He jerked his head up to look at the massive truth gate silhouette as surging killing intent erupted once again:

　　Are you playing with us?

　　As the portal of the Gate of Truth closed up, its presence quickly faded and directly disappeared into this thick fog, and the vast Erhai Sea once again fell into a dead silence.

　　Without waiting for Lin Qiye to make a move, An Qingyu’s calm voice once again sounded:

　　So that’s the way it is… ……

　　Lin Qiye turned his head to look at him, What?

　　The price we paid was not enough to completely resurrect Jiang Er, who had been spiritually dead for four years …… So, after the Gate of Truth absorbed the price, it only minimally accomplished what I asked for ……

　　An Qingyu raised her head and looked at the ripples of magnetic field that swept out in all directions.

　　It …… only brought back a portion of Jiang Er s magnetic field, and although there was no life, no consciousness, and no memories, in a way, she did come back.

　　Lin Qiye frowned, but she still hasn t been resurrected, has she? What was the point of that?

　　As long as a portion of her magnetic field is retrieved, there will always be a way to completely resurrect her …… And you also said that today, I have no feelings, so it might be best for Jiang Er to come back in this way.

　　Lin Qiye was stunned in place.

　　Today s Jiang Er is empty of a magnetic field and has no life or consciousness, so naturally she will not wake up and talk to An Qingyu, nor will she know, what the present day An Qingyu looks like …… This may indeed be a mercy for her.

　　If she really resurrected completely and saw that her favorite person had already come alongside the grammatical god, betrayed the once great Xia, and also lost her feelings and became a complete stranger, the blow to her would instead be even greater.

　　Lin Qiye supported this weak body for a long time before sighing helplessly.

　　The Twelve Divine Beasts blood, plus An Qingyu’s emotions, plus draining the blood of the Hongmeng Spirit Foetus …… was barely enough to get back a strand of magnetic field. If An Qingyu were to bear the cost on her own, it was estimated that even if she took this life, she wouldn’t be able to resurrect a complete Jiang’er.

　　Although the Gate of Truth did practice equal exchange, it was an unabashedly black merchant when it came to its mode of trading.

　　Lin Qiye was about to say something else when there was a sudden flash in front of him, and two figures had already appeared in front of him.

　　Fish II, Fish Wrecker!

　　They stared at Lin Qiye, their eyes full of ice.

　　Private matters are over …… Next, it’s time to deal with public matters. An Qingyu’s voice without the slightest bit of emotion slowly sounded from behind Lin Qiye.
