Chapter 2783 Severing Cause and Effect
"Holy crap..." The red-faced True Lord grinned, thinking, "What the hell is going on here!"
In the cultivation world, it's not uncommon for a realm to declare someone a public enemy, but it's not exactly rare either.
Once a cultivator becomes a public enemy, they should simply avoid the other party's territory—at most, they should also avoid a few of the other party's friendly territories.
However, becoming an enemy of Lianxing would be too serious, as it would basically prevent one from going to any realm.
No world hopes that a mere passing cultivator will attract the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation!
So far, even Star Cultivators have acted with great restraint towards the known world.
Even if they are discriminated against, as long as it's not too outrageous, they will suppress their anger and endure it.
However, that's because you have to restrain yourself!
The collapse is already a devastating internal crisis. Everyone is too busy looking for solutions to go looking for more external threats.
However, if anyone really angers a Star Cultivator, their outburst can be a headache for anyone.
This kind of thing has happened before.
So even the True Venerable Guardian of the Bell Spirit Realm, upon seeing Lian Xing's Great Venerable, could only complain at most—"Why are you here again?"
Now, Bo Ping Zhenjun has actually issued a threat to define a common enemy of the realm. Even a Zhenjun would avoid such a thing!
Let alone the possibility of their own territory being implicated, just the fact that Lianxing wanted to forcibly drag someone into the cause and effect of the Heavenly Collapse would be difficult to withstand.
Or what if some Star-level cultivator has a moment of despair and tries to self-inflict harm near a True Lord?
Kunxiu Zhenjun fell completely silent upon hearing this. She was simply out of her mind with anger, not stupid!
But even the most furious person would calm down upon hearing such a threat.
She was even a little glad that she hadn't been so stubborn and forced herself to finish a sentence!
Even the red-faced True Lord calmed down. There was nothing he could do; you smelled strong, so you were right!
He couldn't continue to be so forceful. "Fellow Daoist Boping, we cooperated with Lian Xing when he came to Wuyai for help before, didn't we?"
“I did not deny it,” Bo Ping Zhenjun replied in a deep voice, “regardless of the outcome, your side did provide some assistance.”
If we don't talk about the outcome... then there was no outcome. In fact, when it comes to this matter, he feels no gratitude whatsoever.
"However, we paid a price, and we don't owe you anything!"
Imagine how a top-tier world would react to seeing a star system far inferior to their own, which is now facing a cataclysmic collapse.
Mutual assistance among cultivators is a tradition, and they don't want the other side to throw their weight around and try to extort money from them.
Of course, there are also some high-level cultivators who are willing to study the mechanism of the Heavenly Collapse in detail—such people objectively exist.
"Isn't it already giving you face by not refusing?" the Red-Faced True Monarch thought to himself. "Were our two realms really on good terms before?"
However, I can't say that now. "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Boping one thing... two questions."
"Is what you're doing here related to Tianqing? If not, we're willing to assist you."
Bo Ping Zhenjun did not answer him, but nodded slightly, "Then, what about the second question?"
"Since it's related to Tianqing and has connections to the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance... won't your actions pose a threat to Wuyai?"
All that previous roundabout talk was nothing more than a battle for dominance; the Boundless True Lords had done a comprehensive analysis before they arrived.
"Who can say for sure what the hidden dangers are?" Bo Ping Zhenjun replied lazily, "It's just that Wuya is rich in resources, so we're just passing through."
Upon hearing this, the red-faced True Lord nodded slightly. He knew how to interpret these words. "That means there might be hidden dangers."
"In that case, I have a question for you, fellow Daoist: is it alright for you not to stay in the vicinity?"
Bo Ping Zhenjun replied dismissively, "This is the third question already."
"But I've given you the answer... We can stop here, that's fine too!"
“We are too close to Wuya,” the red-faced True Monarch said solemnly. “The Hundred Friends Alliance was not developed in Wuya either.”
“We can order them to pay compensation, and then expel their headquarters…is that enough?”
Bo Ping Zhenjun paused for a moment, then laughed, "I never had a very good impression of Wuya before..."
"I'm a little worried now. Someone might be sabotaging Lianxing's important plans. Can you give me some advice to put my mind at ease?"
He could see very clearly that Qu Zhenzun and the Kunxiu Zhenjun opposite him had a considerable feud!
Don't say that things will be over once they've been resolved; he knows that woman's personality—she's not one to be magnanimous.
Neither side is a good person. The Great Ruler is pursuing the fulfillment of his thoughts. Does the True Lord not care?
As for the claim that it involves the ability to save the world from collapse and no one dares to interfere? That's an utter joke!
Boping himself was a true king, and he knew very well how petty the Great King could be once he got serious.
The red-faced True Monarch couldn't hold back any longer, "Fellow Daoist Boping, you know perfectly well that acting here might affect Wuya..."
"Have I investigated this matter?"
“Then go ahead and investigate,” the Möbius strip said. “I don’t want to leave any future problems!”
Bo Ping was considering the Star Realm, and he was also considering his own lifespan.
He's lived a life of following the rules, and now that things have come to this, can't he just be a little impulsive?
A powerful being nearing the end of their lifespan is very prone to extreme mental states, and many have suffered from broken Dao hearts and demonic possession. He is considered one of the better ones.
“I understand your feelings, fellow Daoist,” True Monarch Jiuqi couldn’t help but say, “but your choices have indeed created hidden dangers.”
The Möbius strip spoke calmly, "Why would you think I'm going to reason with you?"
"Wuya is a first-class world, so it can look down on Lianxing. Then it's reasonable for me, who comes from Zhongling, to not take Wuya seriously, right?"
Kujiro was truly at a loss. Was what he said wrong?
The cultivators of Wuya have never felt that it was inappropriate to look down on other cultivation worlds, so why should they be indignant about the contempt of the Zhongling Realm?
"In that case, senior, please provide a solution. We certainly cannot tolerate your presence here; that is the fundamental premise."
He'd admit defeat, but his bottom line... he had to stick to.
The Möbius strip replied calmly, "You should figure out a way yourselves to dispel our concerns... What do you say?"
"Don't try to dissuade me, come at me," Han Li was determined this time. "I'm not like Qu Zhenzun, I really do have elders in my family!"
“That female cultivator, I’ll give you the information…so you can go and talk to my elders, okay?”
"What do I have to talk to Xuanzun about?" Kunxiu Zhenjun appeared, his face grim. "I'm not as disrespectful as you!"
"Xuan Zun?" Even the cultivators on Qu Jianlei's side were shocked upon hearing this.
No wonder this guy is so reckless; he's got a really strong backbone!
Xiao You's perspective, in particular, was incredibly complex. "Isn't this a bit excessive?"
Han Li ignored them and smiled slightly at Kunxiu Zhenjun, "So, are you still going?"
"I have never said such a thing to you," Kunxiu Zhenjun vanished in a flash, "I have severed all ties to this matter!"
She simply couldn't hold on any longer—mainly because at this point, she had truly regained her senses!
Putting aside the one who saved the world from collapse, and the two great rulers of the Spirit Realm, just this one... is someone she can't afford to offend!
What's even worse is that she was very clear that her previous relentless attitude had angered these two people!
As for whether the Great Khan cares about Tong Da's thoughts? Of course she does.
However, those who possess only endocrine function but lack a brain are ultimately a minority, not to mention that she is a native of the Boundless Realm.
Cultivators from top-tier worlds are not necessarily lacking in spirit, nor are they necessarily inferior to cultivators from second- or third-tier worlds.
Without a doubt, they had come into contact with more high-level cultivators and were more aware of the terrifying power of those great beings!
His vision is half a social circle higher; he's genuinely arrogant, but also genuinely sensible!
Isn't that right? Even as she hurriedly left, she didn't forget to declare—I'm severing all ties with karma!
Just like the True Venerable Qisi whom Qu Jianlei encountered in the Daizhu area, he immediately created clones upon realizing that he had gotten involved in a situation he shouldn't have.
The price a True Lord pays to sever karmic ties may not be less than the price a True Venerable pays to unleash his clones.
But the other party clearly has no intention of letting this go. If you can't bring yourself to do it now, maybe there won't be a next time!
Bo Ping Zhenjun raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, and then raised his hand to perform a divination.
Finally, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Why run so fast in front of a junior?"
The red-faced True Monarch asked calmly, "Fellow Daoist, this is at the gate of my Boundless Gate, is this sufficient?"
Which ruler doesn't care about his reputation? To walk away in shame at one's own doorstep is already a very disgraceful thing.
"Are you feeling wronged?" Bo Ping Zhenjun glanced at him. "What if I said it wasn't enough?"
He had been resentful of the other person's boundless sense of superiority for a long time, but he had been too lazy to care in the past, since objectively speaking, the other person's conditions were indeed better.
Now that things have come to this, if the other party said a few kind words, I would let it go, but to be so obviously swallowing my anger, do they think I'm blind?
“Then there’s nothing we can do,” the red-faced True Lord said calmly, his pride stemming from a childhood habit.
"If you still have any complaints, you can go find her. Now, please leave!"
He continues to stubbornly uphold his bottom line, and judging from his attitude, he is willing to fight for it.
However, he very cleverly ignored Qu Jianlei and did not target Han Li.
Wuya faced off against Lianxing, and a battle was inevitable, but involving those two made things truly uncontrollable.
"Alright," Jiuqi Zhenjun stepped in to smooth things over—it was simply a matter of one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop; how could Zhenjun not understand this cooperation?
"Fellow Daoist Boping, please feel free to make any requests. We will try our best to fulfill them if we can."
He felt a pang of sadness saying those words, but there was nothing he could do; life can't always be smooth sailing.
Deep down, did Bo Ping Zhen Jun truly want to wage a full-scale war against Wu Ya?
Especially now that there's some progress in saving Tianqing, the important thing is still the main business.
However, he was aware that within the entire team, his identity was most suitable for playing the villain, which was a good opportunity to vent his old grievances.
He glanced at Han Li, "Young friend, you should at least compensate us with a Nascent Soul treasure. As for letting us leave..."
