Although when Zhang Shan activated “Heaven’s Vigor,” his constitution would match that of an “Earth-Level” being, the Qinglong before them could easily kill all “Earth-Level” beings.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that “Heaven’s Vigor” alone would not be enough.

But Chu Tianqiu also faced an unprecedented dilemma… Could he really swallow the eyeballs of multiple “Resonators” in an instant?

Seeing the two fall silent again, Qinglong could only speak up: “I’ve finished speaking. Now it’s your turn to answer my question. You two have been making such a commotion on this rooftop for so long, and I’ve heard every single word clearly… Was it specifically to lure me out?”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu smiled and said: “We wouldn’t dare. We knew these matters couldn’t be hidden from you, so we simply spoke them out directly.”

After hearing this, Qinglong extended his pinky finger to scratch his ear, then swept his gaze over Chu Tianqiu and Qi Xia with a smile. Soon he grinned, revealing his teeth: “But speaking of which… the ‘Madman’ and ‘Endless Life’ are indeed quite interesting. This combination is more interesting than any previous one…”

“Interesting?” After hearing this, Qi Xia raised an eyebrow. “Then from your many experiences, can the two of us succeed?”

“I can only say it’s not bad.” Qinglong nodded. “After waiting for so long, there’s finally something fun to watch. These two ants not only want to drill into my eyes, but have even learned the supreme and noble immortal arts of the ants. One can temporarily pretend to be a ‘human,’ while the other can resurrect more ants. Interesting.”

“So that’s what you think?” Qi Xia said. “Then you’ve done so much for two ants just to see some fun?”

“What else? I’ve lived too long. It’s time to make myself happy.”

“That’s truly strange.” Chu Tianqiu smiled. “Just as you said earlier, you and Tianlong could find plenty of ‘fun’ for yourselves at any moment. How could you painstakingly do so many things? Moreover, you’ve opened ‘Silence.’ What exactly are you plotting?”

“Oh?” Qinglong grinned. “Then in your view… what am I plotting?”

“You want ‘Tianlong’s’ life.” Qi Xia spoke bluntly. “You need the two of us as helpers.”

Chu Tianqiu beside him slowly turned his head to look at Qi Xia upon hearing this. He felt that Qi Xia’s statement was a bit too bold.

Even if Qinglong’s goal truly was to kill Tianlong, it shouldn’t be stated so plainly here.

Otherwise, even if they truly overthrew Tianlong, he and Qi Xia couldn’t possibly escape, since Qinglong would definitely silence them.

“That’s correct.”

After pondering for a moment, Qinglong nodded without any evasion: “I do want ‘Tianlong’s’ life. I want him dead.”

Chu Tianqiu hesitated: “But you clearly have strength comparable to ‘Tianlong.’ Why do you need our help? If you truly wanted to kill him… there should be many opportunities, right?”

“The situation between me and ‘Tianlong’ is rather complicated…” Qinglong said. “To prevent us from attacking each other… he set down a strange rule. This rule not only makes it completely impossible for me to kill him, but has also turned us both into neither-male-nor-female monsters. So I can only borrow the power of outsiders.”

Only now did the two realize that ‘Qinglong’s’ facial features were indeed somewhat strange. If you said he was a man, he carried some feminine grace. If you said he was a woman, he had some masculine vigor.

Combined with his long ink-green hair and long robe that obscured his physique, the two couldn’t distinguish Qinglong’s gender.

“Don’t talk about outsiders.” Qi Xia changed his tone. “We’re now on the same side.”

“No, no one is on my side.” Qinglong shook his head. “Not now either. Although I’m borrowing your hands to kill ‘Tianlong,’ it doesn’t mean we’re together. If there’s anything in the process of advancing the plan that doesn’t suit me, I might directly kill you.”

“Since we’re not on the same side, yet you’ve helped us.” Qi Xia said.

“No, Qi Xia. It’s you who helped me.” Qinglong said.

“How did I help you?”

“I can sense that Tianlong seems to have… fallen into some trap yesterday.”

“A trap…?”

Chu Tianqiu turned his head to look at Qi Xia.

“I don’t know how you managed it.” Qinglong continued. “But you’ve indeed bought yourselves time. Tianlong’s awakening time has been delayed again. I feel this time is the opportunity for all of you.”

“You…” After hearing this, Qi Xia slowly narrowed his eyes. “Is this truly so…?”

“Truly.” Qinglong said. “He must have overused his ‘conviction,’ but I don’t know how much later he’ll wake up. So whatever you want to do, just do it.”

Hearing Qinglong say this, Qi Xia suddenly felt something was not quite right.

The fog before his eyes thickened. The path that had vaguely emerged had now drilled back into the fog.

Qinglong’s appearance today carried an extremely strong sense of incongruity, and even Qi Xia himself didn’t know where this sense of incongruity came from.

This sense of incongruity made him dare not act rashly for the moment.

“What? Isn’t this a good thing?” Qinglong asked.

“I can’t say.” Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “‘Tianlong’ only awakens on the tenth day. During this time, he’s always been sleeping, yet he can sense what happens here.”

“Yes.” Qinglong nodded.

“Then won’t he be even angrier when he wakes up?” Qi Xia asked. “How could he possibly let me go?”

“Because Tianlong is tolerant enough toward you.” Qinglong said with a smile. “Since you’re standing here perfectly fine now, it means he won’t make a big move against you.”

Upon hearing this sentence, Qi Xia finally realized where the problem lay.

Qinglong was fanning the flames. Today he seemed somewhat anxious.

Why had Qinglong been watching coldly for such a long time, yet was so anxious in this cycle?

Although he knew nothing of the full picture, Qi Xia’s subconscious continuously fed him signals of danger. Having gambled for decades already, with more wins than losses, he absolutely could not take risks at this final juncture.

“Qinglong, I’ll ask you one last time.” Qi Xia said. “Do you think we two can succeed?”

“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Qinglong asked in return.

“I want to hear the first sentence that flashes through your mind.” Qi Xia answered.

“Ha, if you put it that way… I feel somewhat regretful.” Qinglong laughed madly. “Because standing here are two ‘men,’ so this matter is very difficult.”

After hearing this, Qi Xia’s brow furrowed slightly. Even though he had recovered part of his memories, he still didn’t quite understand what “two men” meant.

“Why is it difficult because there are two ‘men’? To escape from here… does it require two ‘women’?” Qi Xia asked.
