Chapter 1328: "Sincerity"

Speaking of Yu Beidou, long famed and hailed as "Half a Lifetime of Divination,"He is without question the foremost diviner under the heavens.Even if Jiang Wang paid him no mind, he had long heard of him.Knowing that Xie Huaian, a Grand Imperial Censor of Qi, once denounced him as "feigning ghosts and spirits."Knowing that his single utterance, "Usurping the Splendor of All His Peers," brought Chong Xuanzun renown throughout Linzi.Yet, when it truly came to the person of Yu Beidou, Jiang Wang did not actually understand him.He knew not of his stories, his origins, nor what he had endured.That he and the Demon Diviner were uncle and nephew in discipleship, he only learned after reaching Broken Soul Canyon.At this very moment, hearing this peal of laughter, for reasons unknown, a sense of sorrow settled in his heart.As the preeminent figure of the present age in the art of fate divination, having calculated all things divine and demonic,And ascended to the Dao of Manifestation, were there still so many moments of helplessness for him?Jiang Wang cast a glance of deep sympathy at Yu Beidou, then turned his head to look at the Diviner:"The condition you speak of is excellent. Then how shall you give it to me?"

Yu Beidou's laughter froze. Where was the promised empathy?Here I am, in pitiable straits, and there you are, filled with compassion.Then heroes appreciating heroes, thus joining hearts and efforts. That would be a splendid script!Yet this brat turns his head, and the atmosphere is completely gone!The Diviner also hadn't quite reacted, and immediately said, "After the deed is done...""After the deed is done, how would I dare to wander before you?" Jiang Wang interrupted him:"Your esteemed self should show sincerity first.""What kind of sincerity are you referring to?" the Diviner asked."Give the money first, then I'll handle the matter. Once it's done, I'll leave immediately." Jiang Wang said.The Diviner looked at him quietly for a while, then burst into laughter:"What, before killing me, you still want to scrape some grease off me?Are young people nowadays all this dark-hearted?"Jiang Wang snapped in annoyance: "If you lack sincerity, just say so. How can you sully one's reputation?""You are still too young!" The Diviner seemed to have firmly decided that Jiang Wang would help Yu Beidou, and shook his head:"Do you know why he wants you to act?"Jiang Wang said casually, "Because he is suppressing the Blood Demon and cannot spare his hands.""Unexpectedly, the peerless prodigy that Qi nation painstakingly protects is such an honest and foolish dupe, hehehe."The Diviner chuckled several times, then suddenly withdrew his smile and said fiercely,"Because he calculated that I still have a trump card, and knows that whoever kills me will surely die!""You seem to be threatening me," Jiang Wang said."You can choose not to believe it," the Diviner said.Jiang Wang propped himself with his staff in one hand, and drew his long sword with the other."Have you ever considered?" The Diviner continued, "This Blood Sacrificial Life-Locking Array was clearly set by me,Yet now it is controlled by Yu Beidou. He can do so much,But truly cannot spare his hands to kill me?"Jiang Wang waited for a moment, but Yu Beidou did not speak.So he turned his head and asked Yu Beou, "Should I believe it?"Yu Beidou, his face stained with blood, sighed deeply: "You've been fooled!He is merely using you to probe me, to see if I have calculated his trump card.And at this very moment, as long as you speak, I cannot possibly not give you an answer.Of course, you cannot be blamed. Between you and me, sufficient trust has not yet been established.Suspicion is merely human nature."Speaking thus, he turned to the Diviner and said, "Since I can calculate that you would use Zheng Fei and Li Shou as substitutes for death,Naturally, I can also calculate your so-called trump card. Is this the answer you seek?Good nephew-disciple, go in peace. I have long had a method to counter it.""You can calculate so much, yet you couldn't calculate that Jiang Wang would face near death in the Innate Chaotic Array?" The Diviner brought up the old matter again."I have already said all that needs to be said," Yu Beidou merely replied,"Then let Jiang Wang make his own decision. Jiang Wang, follow your heart."Jiang Wang's current state was not good. His heart was still in a state of forced mending,And his severed limbs and damaged ears desperately needed treatment. He had repeatedly said he was in a hurry to return and treat his injuries, which was not false.But the weakened him, standing in the array at this moment, clearly became the final weight on the scales.Indeed, determining the life and death of one Manifestation realm expert and one Divine Sense realm expert,Two masters of divination.He silently held his sword.Yu Beidou indeed understood him well.From the very beginning, he would have no other choice.Naturally, it would be to kill the Demon Diviner and slaughter the Blood Demon.That bargaining was less about extorting wealth from the Diviner before his death,And more an expression of dissatisfaction with Yu Beidou.Therefore, Yu Beidou very sincerely admitted his mistake.He had also made his choice.It was precisely because the Diviner understood this point that he gave up on recruiting and bribing,Turning instead to the realistic threat of life and death.The struggle between this uncle and nephew-disciple had not ceased for a moment.The contention for control of the Blood Sacrificial Life-Locking Array,The clash of divinations, the verbal sparring, the vying for Jiang Wang...Some of this Jiang Wang saw clearly, while others he failed to perceive.He only knew that the problem had now become very serious—With the explicit knowledge that the Diviner still possessed a trump card,Should he trust Yu Beidou one more time and unsheathe his sword?Would Yu Beidou use him as a substitute for death, just as the Diviner intended to use Zheng Fei and Li Shou?The Diviner's initiative in revealing that he still had a trump card served two purposes:Firstly, to test Yu Beidou's response, and secondly, for this moment—To make Jiang Wang's choice exceedingly difficult.These two objectives had already been achieved.Just as Yu Beidou said, in truth, a sufficient level of trust had not been established between him and Jiang Wang.Yet this current choice concerned life and death.Who could lightly entrust their life and death?In this situation, anything Yu Beidou said would be inappropriate.Therefore, he could only wait, together with the Diviner, for Jiang Wang's decision.After a period of silence, Jiang Wang smiled: "This situation makes me think of Zheng Fei,And the supernatural ability of karmic retribution."He looked at the Diviner: "Do you know how Zheng Fei died?"The Diviner's face held a smile: "Are you planning to share at this time?""You said your trump card is related to your life. I don't know how it is triggered.In any case, I plan to first cut you into a human stick now."Jiang Wang said, "If your trump card is passively triggered, I will spare your life,And leave the final blow to True Man Yu. If your trump card is actively triggered,Then no matter how I treat you, it probably won't affect your decision.""What do you think of this idea?" he asked."A genius idea!" Yu Beidou praised."So that's how Zheng Laosan died..." The Diviner's face showed a look of sudden understanding,Followed by a tone of admiration: "Then what are you still waiting for?"He actually urged Jiang Wang to act!Was he bluffing, or was he confident?This was absolutely the most perplexing situation Jiang Wang had ever been trapped in to date.Whether it was Yu Beidou, the Diviner, or even the Blood Demon,There was something inexplicable about them all.Not quite normal.The clash of top-tier divination arts left this outsider to the Dao of Divination utterly bewildered...But he didn't need to understand.Ahead lay a myriad of divergent paths. His choice would follow his true heart!An immortal crimson-gold flashed in his eyes, Jiang Wang steadied his staff, took a step, twisted his body,And with a decisive sword thrust, pierced into Yu Beidou's abdomen, suspended in mid-air!
