Cui Heng immediately laughed when he heard this.
Although Shi Qingyu’s words were still stubborn, these threatening words were clearly her last struggle before her psychological defense collapsed.
However, Cui Heng did not continue asking. Instead, he snorted coldly. “What are you talking about? The Heaven Realm has existed since ancient times. There are countless experts in the Heaven Gate realm, and there are many Immortal Venerables. How can they be defeated by you Outer World fellows!”
“Heh, stop lying to yourself!” When Shi Qingyu heard Cui Heng say this, a trace of hope immediately ignited in her heart. She continued, “If the Heaven Realm really has existed since ancient times, why did your Heaven Gate close and the Heaven Realm disappear?”
“Think about it. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, have any new Heaven Gate experts appeared in the universe? Has anyone else stepped into the Heaven Gate?”
“If I’m not wrong, you’re a Lord of Heavens expert in the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World. You should have seen some of the mysteries of the Heaven Gate. Are you sure you can still ascend the Heaven Gate now?”
“…” Cui Heng was silent when he heard this. He seemed to have fallen into deep thought and did not speak for a long time.
“He’s silent, he’s actually silent?!” Shi Qingyu’s eyes suddenly lit up. She realized that something was wrong with Cui Heng’s situation. This didn’t seem like he was going to interrogate her.
Could it be…
Speculations immediately rose in her heart. She thought to herself, “Did my words resonate with him just now, or did he have such plans in the first place? That’s right, this place’s Heaven Realm has disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years. No matter how strong he is, he will still feel despair…”
Thinking of this, Shi Qingyu suddenly relaxed a lot in her heart. The expression on her face suddenly became confident, and a smile actually appeared on her face.
“Senior, it’s not easy to cultivate from a mortal to the Ascension realm. It’s like going from an ant to the peak of the Immortal World, right?” She actually asked Cui Heng with a smile, “Did you receive a message from the three Lords of the Heavens?”
She actually asked Cui Heng, as if she was the one doing the interrogating.
“Do you think I’ll tell you?” Cui Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and pretended to be dissatisfied. He said in a low voice, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you directly?”
“Senior, if you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have said such things.” Shi Qingyu seemed to be even more convinced of her guess. She looked up at the sky and then at Cui Heng. She smiled and said, “You actually never wanted to kill us. You never did, right?”
“Ridiculous.” Cui Heng sneered, but he did not say anything.
“You specially got someone to take my junior brother away, not to break my psychological defense.” Shi Qingyu actually stood up and no longer maintained her kneeling posture. She stared at Cui Heng and said with a burning gaze, “You wanted to say something to me, right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Cui Heng still shook his head. His gaze was cold, but he did not take any practical actions.
“When the experts from our side attack this region, the Heaven Gate will reopen.” Shi Qingyu said with a smile, “At that time, you will also have a chance to ascend the Heaven Gate.”
“Is that true?” Cui Heng asked with a frown.
“It’s true. I’m the disciple of a Heaven Gate Venerable. My master told me this himself,” Shi Qingyu said with certainty. “It’s not fake at all.”
“Hmph!” Cui Heng suddenly sneered. “The Heaven Realm is still around! How can the Outer World really attack our side? Dream on!”
“Is that so?” Shi Qingyu glanced at Cui Heng.
At the same time, she secretly circulated the power in her body. The moment she said the first two words, she suddenly transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Shi Qingyu had escaped!
Moreover, the moment she escaped, she sent Yu Lei a message.
This made Yu Lei’s expression change drastically. Then, he hurriedly turned into a stream of light and left Taihong Star with Shi Qingyu. Hui Shi stood where he was and did not pursue. He did not seem surprised by the situation.
Then, he landed and returned to Cui Heng’s side.
“Sir, both of them have escaped.” Hui Shi bowed respectfully to Cui Heng and asked, “Do you value this Outer World very much?”
“As long as they’re enemies, we have to figure out their situation first.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “Asking people is ultimately not as good as seeing what’s going on with your own
eyes.”
“Sir is meticulous,” Hui Shi praised.
“It’s just going with the flow.” Cui Heng waved his hand and said, “These two can be considered as me getting a feel of the way in advance. For now, we should investigate the matter of Taihong Star first. Go and look for Hong Renxi and Hong Renxu. I want to see them.”
“Yes, Sir.” Hui Shi cupped his hands and bowed.
Shi Qingyu and Yu Lei both maintained their peak Seventh Realm cultivation. Their flying speed was extremely fast, and it did not take long for them to escape to the void of the universe far away from Taihong Star.
“Senior Sister, you actually persuaded that Ninth Realm Lord of Heaven to rebel?” Yu Lei looked at Shi Qingyu beside him in extreme surprise. He felt that this was like a fantasy story that was unbelievable.
“I can’t say that he’s persuaded to rebel. I can only say that he doesn’t have much intention of killing us to begin with.” Shi Qingyu shook her head gently and said, “The Heaven Realm in this Star Field has disappeared for too long.”
“Since the cultivators can’t see any hope beyond the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World, they’ll naturally have other thoughts. This is not a strange thing. I’m just taking advantage of the situation.”
“What about you? Did you really tell him everything?”
“Haha, how is that possible? I’m not stupid.” Yu Lei shook his head and smiled. “I pretended to surrender just now because I wanted to use some unimportant information to fool them.”
“The defeat of this Star Field is already a foregone conclusion. Why would I change sides at this time? Could it be that I want to be punished by the Venerables when they attack in the future?”
“Moreover, a portion of our souls are still in the sect. Even if we are beaten to death here, we can still revive in the sect. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“That’s right.” Shi Qingyu nodded and smiled. “However, the fact that Taihong Star actually has a Ninth Realm expert is beyond our expectations, and it’s also beyond the expectations of all the Venerables.”
“This means that this Star Field might not be as weak as the Venerables think. There might still be some trump cards. We have to report this now.”
“That’s right.” Yu Lei nodded in agreement. “We’ll go back immediately.”
The two of them turned into streams of light and flew towards the edge of the starry sky.
After getting further away from Taihong Star, they finally activated a secret technique and teleported out of the Star Field.
However, Shi Qingyu and Yu Lei did not notice that after leaving Taihong Star, a small person was sitting three feet above their heads.
These two little people looked like Cui Heng as they looked down at them coldly.
Shi Qingyu and Yu Lei left the Star Field, and the two little people left with them.
At the same time, the appearance of the Outer World starry skis appeared in Cui Heng’s divine sense.
Many Dao runes, laws, and essence energy were reflected in his perception as the two little people touched them. The appearance of the Outer World realm appeared in his mind.
“As expected, it’s more practical to personally come into contact with the situation in the Outer World.” Cui Heng’s eyes flickered as he chuckled. “Those people in the Samsara World can also take on this heavy responsibility.”
