Chapter 1327: Can't Turn Back

As Yu Beidou's voice fell, the Diviner sneered,"My blood hexagram was cast for you, what concern is it of Jiang Wang?You deliberately sent a broken talisman to Jiang Wang, drawing calamity eastward,Seeking to use the power of Qi to capture me, yet you deem others fools,To be deceived by you? Have you not considered, if I truly held interest in the Immortal Palace,Why would I only now seek Jiang Wang? Back in Yong, I knew of Jiang Wang,Yet I did not seek him out!"

He turned his head to look at Jiang Wang,"When Zheng Fei and Li Shou worked in Qingyun Pavilion, you were also there, were you not?And you saved a person. Did I seek you out afterwards?Ask yourself, if I had sought you then, would you have escaped?"

Jiang Wang remained silent.But silence too, is a form of attitude.

The Diviner looked back at Yu Beidou,"Today I brought men, also to kill you. How would I know where Jiang Wang was?It was you who deliberately revealed that you had a friend within the Innate Chaos Formation,Who went to seek the Blood Demon's life blood, only then did I send people to search...In the end, did Jiang Wang risk his life because of you, or because of me?"

In the Diviner's words, the entire matter's nature was completely different,Yet the logic was clear, the reasoning distinct.

Yu Beidou's tone was surprised,"Good nephew, how can you twist black and white?"

The Diviner coldly said,"Uncle-master, who is twisting black and white, you know in your heart!Know that it is easy to deceive someone for a while, but difficult to deceive them forever!"

Having long since learned of their relationship from the揭面人魔 (Revealed Faced Demon),Jiang Wang was not particularly surprised.Witnessing their intense verbal sparring here, he couldn't help but say,"Honored sirs, am I really that important?"

"Of course!" Yu Beidou quickly said,"This person is utterly evil, and the Blood Demon is a calamity for humanity.I, with my own strength, suppress them, unable to spare a hand.And you possess unparalleled innate talent, a genius of exceptional caliber.In this day and age, who but you can eradicate evil for the people?!"

"Good and evil are all determined by you? What is good, what is evil?" The Diviner retorted,"You envy the worthy and talented, setting a trap to kill your senior brother,Can that be called good? Moreover, even if I am evil, have I ever harmed Jiang Wang?Who drew him into danger, who caused a magnificent heavenly talent to becomeThis appearance of severed ears and broken limbs?! You, this great benevolent person,Why then are your words full of lies?"

"Alright, alright." Jiang Wang spoke up, interrupting their fierce debate,And slowly said, "My meaning is... Since I am so important,Could you perhaps say something important?"

Something important?The Diviner was momentarily stunned.What is important? For such a peerless heavenly talent, a passionate youth,Is the debate between good and evil not important?

"Cough!" Yu Beidou was the first to grasp the meaning, and offered,"I will add twenty yuan stones for you!"

"Ha! Uncle-master, it seems you look down on Prefectural Lord Jiang?" The Diviner, having seized the opportunity, immediately raised the stakes,"Jiang Qingyang, unlike certain charlatan diviners who are fond of showboating,I will not speak empty words to you. If you help me today,I will give you a thousand yuan stones, a magical robe, and three outer-building level secret arts!If you have any enemies, regardless of their cultivation level, I will cast a blood hexagram for you!"

"That sounds pretty good..." Jiang Wang turned to look at Yu Beou,"Is Senior Yu not planning to increase the price?"

Yu Beidou was instantly filled with righteous indignation,"Is the righteous path of the human realm not worth your protection?Is the safety of humanity not worth your utmost effort?If you associate with the human demons, what difference is there between you and them?For a little paltry gain, are you going to abandon your stance?If this matter spreads, where in the world will you have a place to stand?"

"If I kill you, it won't spread." The Diviner helpfully reminded.

Yu Beidou glared at him angrily, and the Diviner glared back without weakness.

Jiang Wang merely said "Oh," and leaned forward slightly,Looking at the beardless Blood Demon, "And you, Honored Sir?"

Liu Huai seemed not to have considered this possibility.He had merely been silently observing the dispute between the Diviner and Yu Beidou,Feeling that it had nothing to do with him.A demon, a public enemy of humanity,How could he possibly be bribed?

After a moment of愣 (stunned), he hesitantly said,"If you help me, I will send you to the Myriad Realms Desolate Tomb?"

Jiang Wang sighed, and said to Yu Beidou,"Or perhaps I should help you slay the demon first? I see he is basically hopeless.This one can be priced a little cheaper, just give what you think is appropriate."

Yu Beidou laughed,"This one is not easy to slay, it won't be killed in a short time.You should slay the human demons first!"

"Jiang Wang! The conditions can still be discussed!" The Diviner immediately said,"Being brought into a perilous place, your life hanging by a thread,Are you truly not angry at all? Killing those utterly evil ones, even for a peerless talent like you,Is a near-death experience, is it not? Are you truly willing to be manipulated like this?You have already been deceived into Duanhun Gorge, and again deceived into the formation,How long do you plan to be deceived? Until you die? Can you truly be without resentment?"

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Wang sighed deeply,Looked at his empty left leg, and then looked at Yu Beidou,His gaze becoming serious."Honestly, I am indeed very angry. I have no obligation to risk my life for you,Regardless of whether you seek justice, fairness, or some great cause for humanity,You have no right to deceive me into this situation and make me risk my life.

A great master once told me—'To demand others by your standards is already harsh,To demand the world by your standards, then you are evil without knowing it, you are the demon among demons.'Senior Yu, I deeply agree with these words."

"That is truly a great master with great wisdom." Yu Beidou praised,Then he put away the smile on his face, and also said very seriously,"What I want to tell you is, in my hexagrams, you would not be in dangerComing to Duanhun Gorge this time. Clearly, I overestimated myself,And underestimated this nephew of mine, only then did I miss a stepIn the Innate Chaos Formation, allowing you, at the Inner Mansion realm,To face four Outer Building human demons directly. This is my mistake,I cannot deny it, and I will definitely find a way to compensate.

I exerted great effort to re-establish contact with you within the Innate Chaos Formation,But by then, you had already ended the battle.Perhaps you believe these words, perhaps you do not.If you believe me, I thank you. If you do not believe me, it is also understandable,You have that right."

This was perhaps the most serious thing Jiang Wang had heard Yu Beidou saySince he had known him.There was no talk of "unparalleled celestial-grade protective talisman" or similar nonsense,Only the admission of mistakes from a contemporary True Person who claimed to "divine half a lifetime".

"As the foremost figure in fate calculation today, will you, Yu Beidou, miss a calculation?" The Diviner sneered,"You can only deceive young people!"

"Hahaha." Yu Beidou laughed heartily, seemingly very happy,"Human calculation is inferior to heavenly calculation, how can one calculate everything?If I did not miss calculations, how could I have allowed your master to go astray back then?If I did not miss calculations, how could you have escaped for so many years?If I did not miss calculations... fate calculation, how could it have come to this day!"

He laughed heartily, looking at Jiang Wang,"I also wish to calculate everything, both divine and demonic!But my hexagrams, in truth, can only divine the first half of a life! laughable, laughable!"

A ghost-headed saber was plunged into his forehead, a blood sac bulged on the back of his head,His face was covered in bloodstains, and he laughed mournfully—"If the latter half of life cannot be accurately calculated, why calculate the first half?Calculate it as a done deal, calculate it as no turning back,Calculate it as things having come to this, calculate it as being powerless!Hahahahaha..."
