Wang Chong attempts to stop his disciple Chi Shou from opposing the Source Tower, pursuing him to the Inner Sea. Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoman successfully retrieves Ye Kaluo from the Red Grape Building under Chi Shou's plan. Chi Shou confronts Wang Chong, revealing his suspicions that the Deep Sea controls the Source Tower and potentially Lord Qinglong, suggesting a larger conspiracy at play.

Wang Chong certainly noticed.

It’s just that...

He didn’t dare to think in this direction, nor did he dare to believe it.

The idea of the Deep Sea controlling the human world is utterly ridiculous, but until Chi Shou raised it, he never realized... this absurd idea might very well be a reality.

"Upper City has changed, the Dean has changed... but fortunately, you have not."

Chi Shou said sincerely, "If that blade of yours had really fallen upon me, I wouldn’t have dodged. I would rather die under your blade... in that way, it would be like repaying the teacher’s kindness for teaching me again."

"You..."

Wang Chong was moved, gritting his teeth, he sighed, "How could I bear to kill you?"

"That’s what makes me grateful... grateful that you haven’t changed."

Chi Shou lowered his eyelids, spreading his arms.

He gave up expanding the realm of the Heart Realm, knowing that in the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile... with the teacher’s strength, even if he held back, Chi Shou could never be his match.

"Disciple Chi Shou, disregarding the law, secretly released a death row inmate from the Source Tower."

Chi Shou admitted calmly, "I am willing to accept any punishment."

The coffin beside him slowly opened...

Inside, it was empty.

The true escape plan was actually not complicated. After destroying all of Deep Sea’s Heavenly Eyes, Rhein City’s Spirit Network would temporarily fall into a state of ’blindness,’ which was the best moment for Gu Xiaoman and Ye Kaluo to escape, and at this moment, the only thing Chi Shou needed to do was one thing.

And that was to attract the teacher’s attention.

There is no perfect way to save people in this world...

If you want to save someone.

Someone must be left behind.

Chi Shou chose... to sacrifice himself to fulfill Ye Kaluo.

This was his plan!

So he didn’t care if Wang Chong’s blade fell upon him, it didn’t matter if it did, because he came with the determination to die.

"Fool, fool!"

Wang Chong gripped that knife, his emotions fluctuating.

"They should have already left Rhein and successfully entered the inner sea..."

Chi Shou said calmly, "You were drawn away by me, leaving the best guard point, even if you return now, it’s too late to pursue. Take me back, I will take Ye Kaluo’s place."

Wang Chong was speechless.

At this moment, a deep, thick voice rose from the sea.

"Do you think the place of a death row inmate can be easily taken over?"

Chi Shou was stunned, and Wang Chong was also stunned.

The sea area where they were was originally calm, with only a cloud covering above.

At this moment, the wind suddenly rose, and the waves started to grow larger.

A towering, majestic, and severe figure condensed in the gust, the person stepping on the sea, holding two small figures in one hand.

"Dean... when did you..."

Wang Chong’s expression was pale.

He had been sitting in meditation in this sea area for a long time, yet he didn’t sense a single bit of the Dean’s presence.

"Me?"

The tall figure slowly stopped.

In Lie Renuo’s eyes, there was a hint of coldness and mockery, "Little Chong... I’ve always been behind you."

Wang Chong’s body stiffened.

Always behind him...

He didn’t sense anything at all.

"This is the power of origin."

Lie Renuo spoke gently, as he slowly raised an arm, the fierce wind roaring and raging, tightly "grasping" Gu Xiaoman and Ye Kaluo.

"Even a small wisp is enough to dominate the world."

A matter concerning the future Lord of Wine.

Such an important task.

He naturally wouldn’t let Wang Chong and his disciple complete it, especially Chi Shou... this young man, with a look of disloyalty, it was obvious at a glance that he would betray, so Lie Renuo arranged this meeting in Upper City, and the one truly waiting in the inner sea for Gu Xiaoman to escape was not Wang Chong, but himself.

Now the plan was going smoothly.

With Xiaoman binding himself with Dissolving Dream, willingly leaving the barrier for escape, and thus being captured alive.

According to that adult’s calculations, keeping Ye Kaluo, who should have been executed long ago, alive until now, indeed had an extraordinary effect...

Not every piece on the chessboard needs to be taken early.

Some remain, it’s better than killing them.

Ye Kaluo surviving allowed Chi Shou to convince Gu Xiaoman to escape.

One link connecting to the next forged the current situation.

Just as Lie Renuo indulged in the pleasure brought by the power of origin, the clouds above abruptly emitted a piercing screech!

"Screech!"

A snowy white sword of Thunder Light descended downwards—

In an instant.

Just in an instant, it severed Lie Renuo’s arm that contained the power of origin!

"???"

Lie Renuo’s pupils constricted.

The speed of that Thunder Light was very fast, if not for having fused with this wisp of origin, the speed of this Thunder Light would be at least ten times his, or perhaps even more!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the sea surged, and nearly a thousand Thunder Lights appeared in front of Lie Renuo. It was an awe-inspiring image like that of a God in Thunder Light attacking, each strike aimed directly at him, but at the crucial moment, the severed arm clenched its fist, and the origin power that didn’t belong to Lie Renuo erupted... the clouds hung down like a waterfall, transforming into a giant wall, blocking all the nearly thousand Thunder Lights, the towering sea turning into black and white in an instant.

Vast thunder piled up to a height of a thousand meters.

Finally, the Thunder Light dissipated.

Wang Chong and Chi Shou stared blankly at this inhuman spectacle...

The one who dealt this unprecedented strike was a young man not much older than Chi Shou, dressed in a white robe. After the first bolt of thunder fell, the white-robed young man took back Gu Xiaoman and Ye Kaluo from the wind and waves, floating a hundred meters away, and ultimately countless thunders gathered on the sea, swaying with light.

"...Bai Xiu." Chi Shou’s voice was hoarse.

No one in the Five Continents doesn’t know this thunder!

No one in the Five Continents doesn’t know this name!

In the years after Gu Shen’s death, people always said Bai Xiu was the top genius of this generation...

Only Gu Shen could be his equal.

Even the mighty Central Continent didn’t refute this.

Because aside from the Red Dragon, no one among the Four Divine Envoys was worthy to contend with Bai Xiu.

Seeing is believing.

Upon seeing today, only then is it understood that this white robe is even more stunning than the world described.

Lie Renuo stared intently at this figure, a sense of absurdity rising from his heart.

"When did you..."

"Me?"

Little Xiuzi said with no expression, "I’ve always been behind you."

This scene seemed familiar, having played out once just a few minutes ago.

Except that in Lie Renuo’s heart, there was nothing but humiliation.

He was no longer his former self... he just obtained a wisp of origin! Origin!

"Wielding a wisp of origin indeed enables you to dominate here."

Bai Xiu said softly, "But even among origins, there are strengths and weaknesses... I must say, compared to Silver Fox General, you fall far short."

He extended two fingers, pinching them together.

It was originally a very small gap.

Saying the words "far short."

Bai Xiu spread his two fingers wider, saying seriously, "A lot, like a chasm."
