Chapter 1688 Zhu Ziyan's Choice

I stared intently at Zhu Ziyan as I spoke.

I did need Zhu Ziyan to help me break through the Samsara Secret Realm, but if she dared to refuse, I would immediately cut her down with my blade.

What I said earlier, "In times of crisis, I won't hesitate to make decisions," wasn't just to scare Zhu Ziyan. I genuinely didn't want to leave any hidden dangers around me.

Zhu Ziyan said with difficulty, "Li Po, if I… if I don't show my face… perhaps…"

I sneered, "You mean, if you don't show your face, there might still be a way out?"

"You think that as long as you don't come forward, even if the secrets of the Samsara Division are leaked, someone else can take the blame."

"You can completely say that those secrets were obtained by the Embroidered Uniform Guard when they broke through the Samsara Division's stronghold. Because, the information isn't known only to you."

"That way, you can return to the Samsara Division when necessary, right?"

After a long silence, Zhu Ziyan nodded slightly.

I sneered, "Let me tell you plainly, absolutely impossible! You only have two choices: either take action, or die."

"You can use my master to pressure me, and I still won't kill you. However, I can spread the word about you leaking the Samsara Division's secrets."

"If I let you go back, your fate might be worse than death!"

As Zhu Ziyan raised her pale face, I pressed closer, "Don't have any illusions about Zhu Zining. The fact that you were able to find me smoothly shows that the Samsara Division has already abandoned you."

"Can you guarantee that you weren't deliberately arranged to enter the Two Realms Hall?"

Zhu Ziyan quickly shook her head, "No… no… absolutely not, Yu Qingzhu wouldn't lie to me!"

I said calmly, "Then Yu Qingzhu didn't tell you, after entering the Two Realms Hall, what should you do to save your life?"

As Zhu Ziyan fell silent again, I lit a cigarette.

We didn't speak, but we both knew that this cigarette was the last time I was giving her to consider.

If she didn't answer after I finished smoking, then what fell to the ground wouldn't just be the cigarette butt, but her head as well.

The cigarette in my hand slowly burned to ashes, and I flicked the butt lightly. The ash falling on the table, although silent, was like a muffled thunder, scaring Zhu Ziyan into a shiver.

When she met my gaze, my eyes were already filled with killing intent.

Zhu Ziyan trembled, "If I show myself, you have to guarantee my safety with all your strength."

"I can!" I reached out and tapped Zhu Ziyan's palm three times. Only then did Zhu Ziyan feel relieved, "How do you want to deal with the fake Nine Ghosts? I can help you pull them over!"

"Not needed right now!" I shook my head, "Now is not the time for you to show your face, just continue to pretend to be someone else!"

Zhu Ziyan exclaimed, "You saw through it long ago?"

I smiled coldly and picked up the wine glass on the table, "Su Su, do it!"

The reason I could see through Zhu Ziyan's disguise wasn't because I understood Zhu Ziyan's secret technique, but because I understood her as a person.

Zhu Ziyan is an extremely afraid of death person, she hides by our side, must pretend to be someone else. This person may be someone from our Two Realms Hall, or it may be Zhu Xiaoyu, or simply someone who has never shown his face, but can find out the details.

She didn't dare to appear in her true form because she was afraid of attracting the Samsara Division's pursuit.

This coincides with what she said earlier.

At this point, I really dared to believe Zhu Ziyan.

Su Su wrote incantations all over Zhu Ziyan's face as if she were embroidering. The incantations left by Su Su penetrated Zhu Ziyan's skin in a few seconds and disappeared.

Su Su finally took Zhu Ziyan into the guest room and didn't finish writing the runes until dawn.

Su Su told me, "Zhu Ziyan can now absorb the Samsara Division's luck! In other words, she has turned Zhu Ziyan into the Samsara Division's fatal tribulation. If the Samsara Division wants to overcome the current difficulties, they must first kill Zhu Ziyan."

When Su Su said this, she didn't avoid Zhu Ziyan, the person involved.

Zhu Ziyan's face was also frightened and lost all color, "You… you didn't say you were going to protect me? We made a vow by striking palms! The Samsara Division also has luck masters, they will find out that I have become a fatal tribulation, and they will do everything they can to hunt me down. You… you can't go back on your word!"

I smiled, "Did I say I wouldn't protect you?"

"Now, we have to do our best to protect you, don't we?"

Zhu Ziyan was stunned for three seconds before screaming, "Li Po, you're shameless!"

"You're playing with fire, do you understand!"

I looked at Zhu Ziyan with a non-smiling expression and didn't speak. Zhu Ziyan couldn't hold on for long either. She covered her face and sat in the chair. Soon, she rummaged through the hotel counter and found paper and pen, and wrote out several pages of information.

Zhu Ziyan gritted her teeth and handed the information to me, "This is the core secret of the Samsara Division that I know. Some of them I don't even know if they're accurate. You need to verify it yourself."

I looked at the string of names on the paper, but I didn't recognize any of them, so I could only ask Ye Yang to call Shang Xingyan over.

After Shang Xingyan read the information, he didn't say a word for a long time.

I couldn't help but curse, "Old Shang, what's wrong with you? Are you constipated? Say something!"

Shang Xingyan looked at me with a weeping face and said, "Young Master, we're in trouble now…"
