The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

169: The Lord Wu Yan intends to step into the other side passage againNot long after, from within the ancient palace, Shen Shiyao’s calls, like a hundred orioles, echoed, melodious and enticing.

Time flew by, more than half a year passed.

Shen Shiyao walked out of the palace, stretched languidly, and yawned contentedly.

Although she and Wang Qing had had many intimate encounters before, those were all through Primordial Spirit Dual Cultivation.

Now, it was different.

She had shed her identity as the System’s Master and became an Innate Human Race member, experiencing an entirely different sensation during intimate moments with Wang Qing.

“My Master will likely be in seclusion for a long time. Next, I should seek Zhuge Yuanxi’s true body,” Shen Shiyao murmured, raising her hand to activate the other shore twin boat, which transformed into a black and white stream of light and sped away.

Because she still had some understanding of Zhuge Yuanxi and knew why Zhuge Yuanxi wanted to seize the myriad things mother cauldron.

Now, she only needed to go to a certain place to see if Zhuge Yuanxi had broken open the Void Realm and awakened her true body... On the Grandmist Sea side.

Deep within the River of the Other Shore.

On Dao Source Mountain, Master Wu Yan and Cave Master Shan Qiong stood side by side, their faces solemn, their brows shadowed by an unshakeable gloom.

Over the past half-year, Gu Cangyang had sent repeated messages, urging them to quickly converge on Mount Sumeru and proceed to the end of the River of Time together.

Each message carried an increasingly urgent tone, subtly imbued with an undeniable pressure.

Master Wu Yan had already shared his startling conjecture with his Junior Brother: that Gu Cangyang might be a Protector of the Transcendents Alliance.

Upon hearing this, Cave Master Shan Qiong almost immediately made a decision: no matter what great benefits Gu Cangyang offered, he would not easily agree to the meeting.

At this moment, his Divine Thought pierced through the Formation of Dao Source Mountain, looking at the endlessly flowing River of the Other Shore outside, his heart filled with vigilance and unease.

“Senior Brother,”

“Perhaps we can bypass Gu Cangyang and search for the Twin Passage he mentioned ourselves. Do you think that’s feasible?”

Cave Master Shan Qiong turned his head, his voice tinged with an imperceptible anxiety.

Master Wu Yan slowly shook his head, his gaze profound: “If Gu Cangyang truly is an Alliance Protector, the veracity of his words is hard to discern.”

“In the vast Grandmist, for us to search for that elusive Twin Passage would be like searching for a needle in a haystack!”

“In contrast, the mysterious passage discovered by Chu Moqian might be our only opportunity to smuggle ourselves to the Other Shore.”

“This... perhaps, as Senior Brother said, what Gu Cangyang said might truly be false.”

Cave Master Shan Qiong was momentarily speechless, a difficult expression on his face, giving up the impractical idea of searching for the Twin Passage.

Because his understanding of the Land of the Other Shore far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he had likewise never heard of any Twin Passage.

He only knew of the legendary Other Shore Passage, which could reach the Other Shore.

He secretly speculated that the passage discovered by Chu Moqian and the other two was very likely the Other Shore Passage.

Now, with Gu Cangyang pressing so urgently, he had an even stronger premonition.

If they were to head to that passage now, it was very likely they would be intercepted by Gu Cangyang midway, and the situation would become unmanageable.

Just as the two were feeling uneasy, the Void Realm trembled slightly, and Chu Moqian’s figure appeared silently, arriving close by in a blink of an eye.

“Brother Wu Yan, Brother Shan Qiong, you two need not worry excessively.”

“Gu Cangyang could no longer wait. He has taken Yi Bochang and Mo Yuan and entered the River of Time first.”

“Now is the perfect opportunity for the three of us to head to that mysterious passage. We have a ninety percent chance of smuggling ourselves to the Other Shore.”

Chu Moqian spoke, his tone quite calm.

Cave Master Shan Qiong regained his composure, glancing at Chu Moqian, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes:

“Gu Cangyang is considered your Senior in terms of creating the Divine Domain. Why aren’t you going with him to the River of Time?”

“Sigh... don’t even mention it.”

Chu Moqian let out a heavy sigh, a helpless and bitter smile appearing on his face.

He shook his head, as if to cast off some heavy emotion:

“I suspect Gu Cangyang’s true aim is to sacrifice the entire Nine Heavens Divine Domain to transcend the Dao Exhaustion Realm.”

He no longer concealed anything, revealing the forbidden Luck Sacrifice Art and the Luck Chessboard, and elaborating on his conjectures.

“The Path of Luck?”

“The Luck Sacrifice Art?”

“The Luck Chessboard?”

Upon hearing this, Master Wu Yan and Cave Master Shan Qiong’s faces changed drastically, their shock evident, and a tumultuous wave surged within their hearts.

They exchanged glances, both seeing an expression of disbelief in the other’s eyes.

“Does Gu Cangyang perhaps believe that his self-created Path of Luck can transcend the Path of Transcendence opened by the Hongmeng Empress?”

Master Wu Yan’s voice trembled slightly.

“He actually wants to activate the Luck Chessboard by sacrificing the Nine Heavens Divine Domain, attempting to create an entirely new Realm?”

Cave Master Shan Qiong also exclaimed in surprise.

He felt that Gu Cangyang’s insane plan was even more horrifying and unbelievable than their initial idea of draining the Grandmist Sea.

Seeing their reaction, Chu Moqian’s bitter smile deepened as he explained: “This is merely my conjecture.”

“Perhaps Gu Cangyang has no intention of sacrificing the Divine Domain, or perhaps he merely wants to kill Wang Qing and then conquer the Land of the Other Shore.”

However, his explanation failed to calm the stormy waves in the hearts of Master Wu Yan and Cave Master Shan Qiong.

Master Wu Yan’s eyes flickered, his thoughts racing, and he made another decision: “Brother Chu, since you also harbor doubts about Gu Cangyang.”

“Why not come with my Senior Brother and me to that mysterious passage and attempt to smuggle ourselves to the Other Shore?”

“My purpose in coming here is precisely that.” Chu Moqian nodded, the bitter smile on his face gradually transforming into a hint of determination.

Upon hearing this, Cave Master Shan Qiong’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little, joy appearing on his face, and he immediately made a decision:

“Good! Without further ado, let us depart!”

“Please lead the way, Brother Chu, so this old man can personally verify if that passage is consistent with what I have in mind.”

He eagerly gestured for Chu Moqian to proceed.

Chu Moqian said no more, raising his hand to open a spatial rift and stepping in first.

Master Wu Yan and Cave Master Shan Qiong exchanged glances again, both seeing determination and a hint of anticipation for the unknown in each other’s eyes.

Immediately, they followed without hesitation, their figures disappearing into the distorted Void Realm.

As soon as the three of them broke through the Void Realm and left the depths of the River of the Other Shore,

On Hongmeng Island, hundreds of millions of miles away,

Situ Linghuang also noticed the Dao Exhaustion Realm Qi appearing one after another in the River of the Other Shore.

With a casual sweep of her Divine Thought, she saw Master Wu Yan, Cave Master Shan Qiong, and Chu Moqian disappear into the Void Realm, heading towards the Other Shore Passage.

Immediately, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her dreamlike, indescribably beautiful immortal face.

“You three old fellows going to the Other Shore Passage? Isn’t that looking for death by disturbing a sleeping tiger!”

She was very confused.

Cave Master Shan Qiong had participated in the War of Nine Burials to the Other Shore; he couldn’t possibly be unaware that the Other Shore Passage was a heavily guarded place for Other Shore Beings.

If they rashly entered the Other Shore Passage, they would not only be discovered by the Other Shore Beings.

They might even attract the mysterious Other Shore Nether Dragon, which would undoubtedly be courting death.

She speculated that Cave Master Shan Qiong might have lived too long? So he wanted to taste death?
