Chapter 2037

"Ya Wei asked me to go back."

Hearing the Heaven Realm expert's words, Yi Qian was a little stunned. She turned her head to look at him and said, "Where's Zi Chen?"

Being stared at by Yi Qian's gem-like eyes, the Heaven Realm expert showed a rare restraint. After a while, he said, "Zi Chen is dead."

"Dead?"

Yi Qian's red lips parted slightly. She couldn't help but think of the scene when Zi Chen insisted on entering Blue Feather City. That lonely but determined back.

"Yes, Zi Chen is dead. Miss Yi Qian, you should come back with us," the Heaven Realm expert said again.

However, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Yi Qian. He knew why Ya Wei asked Yi Qian to go back.

"What if I say no?" Yi Qian looked at him.

"Then I'll offend you." The Heaven Realm expert bowed, and the aura around him began to surge.

At the same time, figures of the Heaven Realm experts appeared around the valley. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the valley.

"I understand."

Seeing these Heaven Realm experts, Yi Qian understood Ya Wei's intention. He wanted to force her to make a choice.

In Yi Qian's mind, she still felt that Zi Chen wouldn't die so easily.

"Sorry, I haven't decided yet."

As she spoke, Yi Qian stepped on the clear water and retreated. At the same time, she waved her jade-like hand at the water below, and a large wave was stirred up.

The moment the wave appeared, Yi Qian waved her jade-like hand again. The wave was forcibly separated, turning into droplets of water that flew in all directions.

The droplets moved forward, bringing with them a sharp whistling sound. This made the Heaven Realm experts' expressions change drastically, and they all put up their defenses.

Puff. Puff. Puff. Puff. Puff.

In the blink of an eye, the droplets fell on the Heaven Realm experts. The powerful force pushed them back, but the defense around them didn't break.

After the droplets of water dispersed, the Heaven Realm experts came back and saw that the valley was already empty.

The Heaven Realm expert leading the group looked at the rippling water and smiled bitterly.

"Should we chase after them?"

Another Heaven Realm expert came to his side and said.

Shaking his head, the Heaven Realm expert said, "Miss Yi Qian wants to leave. With our strength, how can we catch up to her?"

This time, Yan Wei had arranged for them to come, but he hadn't arranged for a single Heaven-Defying Cultivator. It wasn't realistic to expect them to forcefully bring Yi Qian back.

The move that Yi Qian had displayed just now was able to force everyone back without breaking through their defenses. Just her control of energy was already much stronger than theirs.

The world they lived in was not a complete world. There were not so many miracles in the world. In front of them, a Heaven-Defying Cultivator was a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. There was a huge gap between their combat strength and that of an ordinary Heaven Realm Cultivator.

"If we don't chase, what if Sir blames us?" The Heaven Realm expert behind him was very worried.

"Milord has his own judgment. All of this is just to give Miss Yi Qian a choice."

"Choose."

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

…

…

Yi Qian's figure walked out of a certain space. This place was already several thousand miles away from the valley.

"As expected of Yi Qian. This Spatial Evasion Technique is truly admirable."

However, as soon as Yi Qian walked out, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a gentle voice rang out from nearby.

Yi Qian was slightly startled. She looked ahead and saw Yan Wei standing on a huge rock with a smile on his face.

"It's you." Looking at Yan Wei, Yi Qian's expression was somewhat complicated. There was fear in the depths of her eyes.

"I thought that after hearing the news of my return, you would choose to go back with them."

Yan Wei looked at Yi Qian and said. His expression was indifferent. From his eyes, one couldn't see that he was stunned by Yi Qian's appearance. "But you chose to leave. I'm really disappointed."

"Zi Chen is really dead," Yi Qian said, looking at Yan Wei.

"He can't be more dead. If he was your choice and support, then I'm sorry, but that's all gone," Yan Wei said indifferently.

Recalling that young man in her mind, Yi Qian shook her head and said, "I don't believe that he would die so easily."

"Don't you think it's boring to discuss this now? The most important thing is that I'm alive. I'm standing here. I meet your criteria of waiting for a good offer," Yan Wei said calmly.

Just like the first time when Yi Qian chatted with Zi Chen, to him, this was a deal.

Yi Qian shook her head. There was a touch of sadness in her beautiful eyes. "But I don't want to make a choice now."

Yan Wei looked at Yi Qian and said seriously, "But you have to make a choice."

"Why?"

"Zi Chen is dead. You have no support. You have no opponent to choose from. Now, there is no one more suitable for you than me. You and I have entered the Saint Plane at the same time. Of course, you can say to wait, but that's not important. The most important thing is that I'm standing here, and you can't beat me."

Yan Wei looked at Yi Qian quietly. Obviously, the last sentence was the main point.

In this world where the strong were respected, the strong were the rules, the reason, and the dignity.

Yi Qian was silent. Although her combat ability wasn't weak, she was still a little weaker than Yan Wei. Just as Yan Wei said, she couldn't beat him.

Yan Wei's words had made his attitude clear.

"Don't hesitate. You have to choose someone sooner or later. Right now, I'm your best choice. Choosing me is also in line with the standard of benefits."

"Why do I have to choose? Why do I have to choose for benefits?" Yi Qian looked at Yan Wei with a pitiful expression.

Yan Wei smiled faintly. "Maybe others have other choices, but you don't. Those who come into contact with you, which one of them didn't want to obtain this opportunity? Whether it's those Heaven Defying Cultivators or those Heaven Defying Cultivators, everyone comes into contact with you for this opportunity. You know this better than me."

Yi Qian's heart was filled with grief because Yan Wei was right. Ever since they knew she had this opportunity, the people around her were all in the Heaven realm. And when they looked at her, their gazes were not pure adoration. Instead, it was as if they were looking at a gem. It was greed.

Suddenly, a figure jumped into her mind. It was the person who told her for the first time that she couldn't use this opportunity to make a deal. Yi Qian's eyes lit up. She said, "This world isn't like what you think. Not everyone thinks like you."

"It's meaningless for us to argue about this now. If you still don't want to give up, I can give you more time. Right now, I have to go back and make a deal with the Warrior Clan to get the Warrior Token. My time is limited, so I can't stay here with you. However, I can promise you that before the deal is completed, I will give you your freedom. But after the deal is completed, you must cooperate with me to become a Saint."

Yan Wei smiled faintly. "Of course, if you still have something you want, then after we're done, you can leave on your own to pursue what you want. After all, it's just a deal between us."

"Yes, it's just a deal."

Yi Qian sighed faintly. Her expression was filled with unspeakable pity. From the beginning to the end, it was just a deal, but she had to pursue something else.

Yi Qian was silent and didn't say anything else.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Yan Wei's figure disappeared.

"I still don't believe that you will die. It's rare to meet such a strange person like you. How could you die so easily? Instead of giving it to him, I'd rather give it to a strange person like you. The prerequisite is that you have to stay alive. You have to hurry back."

Yi Qian muttered softly. Her figure flashed and disappeared. Two drops of tears fell from where Yi Qian disappeared, smashing into the ground.

…

…

Yan Wei returned to Blue Feather City. First, he went to visit Qing Feng. Then, he found Hei Long and the others to discuss some matters. After that, he returned to his room.

Yi Qian had her own residence. Yan Wei didn't disturb her. In his opinion, Yi Qian had no other choice but to follow him.

On the same day, a new piece of news spread.

Yi Qian and Yan Wei were going to get married in Blue Feather City seven days later. On the day of the wedding, they would use Qing Feng's head as a blood sacrifice.

Once the news spread, it caused a huge uproar.

The forces of the Zhanwu Continent were in an uproar because of Qing Feng's identity. If they really killed Qing Feng, they would become enemies with the Zhanwu Clan. Of course, these seven days were also the final warning to the Zhanwu Clan.

As for the foreign races, they were in an uproar because of Yi Qian's identity. This meant that Yan Wei was about to obtain this opportunity and break through the Holy Road.

In an instant, many foreign races and Heaven-Defying Cultivators felt empty. It was as if they had lost a treasure.

…

…

Qing Feng's strength was sealed. He was hung on the walls of Blue Feather City. Around him, Yan Wei's Heaven-Defying Cultivators from the continent guarded him day and night.

Yi Qian walked out of Blue Feather City. She was still free. Although Yan Wei was stronger than her, he didn't dare to restrict Yi Qian's freedom. This was because if Yi Qian said that she was unwilling, Yan Wei would have to face all the Heaven-Defying Cultivators.

This was also why Yan Wei didn't force Yi Qian.

Walking out of the city gates, Yi Qian looked up at Qing Feng and called out, "Qing Feng."

Qing Feng slowly woke up. His hair was messy and there were bloodstains on his face. He lowered his head and saw Yi Qian.

He recognized Yi Qian, so he grinned at her. It could be considered a smile.

"Is Zi Chen really dead?" Yi Qian looked at Qing Feng. Her beautiful face was filled with nervousness and anticipation.

Pursing his dry lips, Qing Feng said, "I saw Zi Chen fall into the lava. Yan Wei and the others all said that Zi Chen was dead, but no one saw his body. Hei Long predicted that Zi Chen might not be dead. But even if Zi Chen isn't dead, he probably won't be able to walk out of the Slaughtering Heaven Cave. Unless Zi Chen becomes a Saint."

Qing Feng meant that there was still hope, but his words made people despair. No one could easily become a Saint, let alone Zi Chen, who wasn't even at the peak of the Heaven Plane.

Her heart was filled with hope and despair. She just nodded at Qing Feng and said, "Thank you for telling me, but I can't save you."

"My life force is very strong. Don't worry, I won't die. Moreover, there will be old guys coming to save me. You don't have to worry. But I heard about your matter. Sorry, I can't help you." Qing Feng, who was hanging on a pole, said apologetically.

"Perhaps this is my fate. I was destined to be like this since I was born. Yan Wei is also good. At least I'll be the strongest."

After saying that, Yi Qian turned around and entered the city. She seemed to have lost her soul.

Seeing Yi Qian leave, Qing Feng also fell silent. He couldn't stop Yi Qian and tell her to pursue what she wanted.

This was life, and also fate. Not everyone could fight against fate.

Everyone had their own helplessness and choices.
