Chapter 1682 Congratulations on the completion
Chen Ling understood what Chu Muyun meant.
The senior who initially led him into the Twilight Society has completed his mission in this era; he can no longer participate in the mission to suppress the Disaster...
His journey ends here.
Even though all the members knew what they were going to face next and that everyone was going to die, they still felt a little uneasy seeing Chu Muyun slowly losing his life right before their eyes.
Even the coroner from Block 7, who had always been at odds with Chu Muyun, turned his head away and remained silent.
The hem of her black and red opera robe fluttered in the cold wind of the frozen sea. Chen Ling raised her hand and gently placed it on Chu Muyun's forehead.
Chen Ling had already personally seen Kong Baosheng off, but he didn't know how to say goodbye to this senior who had personally led him into the Twilight Society... When Chu Muyun pushed open the door of his Third District home, Chen Ling never imagined that one day he would have to end his life with his own hands.
Are you grateful? Are you reluctant to part?
Chen Ling opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say such words, but in the end he didn't speak.
For the Twilight Society, death is not the end; leaving this world is for a reunion in the next... Therefore, they do not need to say goodbye.
Chen Ling took a deep breath, her tone less heavy and more lively:
"The curtain of an era is about to fall, and we will meet again in the next performance..."
"Congratulations on wrapping up filming..."
"Senior Chu."
Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Chu Muyun's pale lips...
Then, silence fell.
Chen Ling personally took away Chu Muyun's life force. He saw an illusory ghost float out of Chu Muyun's body and disappear without a trace as the large red paper umbrella opened...
A large red paper umbrella was spread out on the black earth. The frigid sea washed over the rocks. Many figures gathered around the corpse that had left with a smile, and fell silent.
In this journey with no turning back, the first person to leave has already appeared.
Chen Ling slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the end of the frozen sea, his ruby-like eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.
"...let's go."
"We don't have much time left."
Bai Ye, standing to the side, glanced deeply at Chu Muyun's pale-faced corpse. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment. He simply pulled his baseball cap down to its lowest point, so low that it covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression...
Then, with firm steps, we rushed into the depths of the frozen sea!
Chu Muyun's death did not dampen the morale of the Twilight Society members; on the contrary, it strengthened their resolve. Each of them clutched the poison given to them by Chen Ling and flew out as streaks of light.
Just as Chen Ling was about to follow, the Gray King, who was being supported by Liu Qingyan, suddenly stopped...
"what happened?"
Chen Ling noticed the strange expression on the Gray King's face and frowned slightly.
The Gray King was silent for a moment, "...Lord Red Dust and Lord Limitless died in battle, Lord Spirit Void... is still alive."
Chen Ling's pupils suddenly contracted.
Wuwuwu——
A biting cold wind swept across the shore, and Chen Ling's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
Even with Lord Hongchen and Lord Wuji joining forces... they still couldn't kill Lord Lingxu? How could this be?
Although Chen Ling was not present, he knew that both Hongchen Jun and Wuji Jun were prepared to die in their battle against Lingxu Jun. Just how powerful was Lingxu Jun that he could kill the two Nine Lords despite being poisoned and injured?
“But one thing is certain: Lord Lingxu is extremely weak right now,” the Gray King said in a deep voice. “If we want to kill him… now is the best time.”
“But even if he’s weak, he’s still a Ninth Lord fighting on his home turf!” Heart 7 said anxiously. “There are no more human demigods left in this world…who can kill him?”
"...I can give it a try."
Just then, Sun Bumian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Behind his small round sunglasses, his eyes, which were adorned with rings, revealed an unprecedented seriousness. "By detonating all the power of reincarnation, I can briefly become a demigod of the God of Play... Perhaps, I can go and kill him."
“No, you can’t go.” Chen Ling shook her head without hesitation. “Your power should be used to deal with the curse… It is the embodiment of a curse. Your auspicious energy is the only means we can use to fight against it. Even if we have to detonate the power of reincarnation, your opponent should be the curse.”
At present, the Twilight Society does not have a single stable demigod-level combatant. In Chen Ling's estimation, her own eighth-order Chaos's negation power, Jiang Xiaohua's strength foundation from the previous world, the Gray King's half-step demigod power, the four senior brothers and sisters, and Bai Ye's eighth-order combat power might be able to barely suppress Chaos...
But these alone are not enough to kill Ji Zai. Sun Bumian, who can unleash true demigod power, is their absolute trump card!
If Sun Bumian is transferred to kill Lingxu Jun, then no matter how many people the Twilight Society sacrifices, they will not be able to kill Ji Zai.
"What about Lord Lingxu?"
“Lingxu Jun is seriously injured now, but the longer this drags on, the more power he recovers… and the slimmer the chance of killing him becomes.”
"Once he recovers to his prime, who in the world could kill him?!"
Chen Ling knew very well that Sun Bumian's concerns were valid. What the Twilight Society was facing now was a race against time... They and Lingxu Jun were on opposite sides of the track, and whoever took the first step would be the ultimate winner.
Chen Ling remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"I'll go."
Sun Bumian, Gray King, Liu Qingyan and the others were all taken aback, and then looked at Chen Ling with serious expressions.
"You're not going to unleash the Taunting Calamity again, are you?" Sun Bumian immediately retorted. "Red Star is coming back soon. This is the only chance to restart the world. You absolutely cannot let the Taunting Calamity take over your body... Otherwise, who knows what will happen?"
"I know I won't unleash the calamity," Chen Ling said calmly.
"Since there are no demigods in the world right now, I should be the strongest below demigods... Moreover, I know him better than anyone else in this era."
"After Lord Hongchen and Lord Wuji died, the only one in this world most likely to kill him is me."
"What do we do now that Hongxin is gone?" Jiang Xiaohua asked cautiously.
"In the encirclement and suppression of Jizai, Fangkuai is the main force. Even without me, you still have a chance. And don't forget..." Chen Ling paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.
"Spade hasn't come back yet."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
With the return of the Crimson Star imminent, they have little time left. The corpse of the Nine Lords must be retrieved immediately, and the fragments of the Divine Path must be gathered as soon as possible... The only solution they face now is to split up and act separately.
The Twilight Society besieges the Forbidden Sea, while the Red King faces the Spirit Void Lord alone.
