Chapter 1772 Not Your Subordinate, Right?
"But in my generation, there are indeed Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers) who obtain longevity but don't use it themselves."
"They use their own lifespans to save their loved ones, which is understandable because that is their purpose in becoming Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers)."
"However, if they take their lifespans and resell them to ordinary people, will the underworld allow it? That's disrupting the order of Yin and Yang. The underworld will definitely investigate."
"I'm not wrong to say that, am I?"
The person didn't speak. Instead, I asked, "Since what I said is all correct, what reason do you have to defend Shi Haoguang?"
Knowing he had no reason, the person still stubbornly argued, "In any case, it's the underworld's fault!"
I sneered, "You've always felt that the underworld is wrong, probably for two reasons."
"One reason is that you've been brainwashed by Shi Haoguang's people."
"The other reason is that you're doing the same things as Shi Haoguang, and you're afraid of being liquidated by the Yin Division."
"Nonsense!" Yu Wusheng roared, "Are you trying to slander Wusheng?"
"I gathered the Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers) together and named it Wusheng (No Life) because I know that the reason we borrow life is to fight to the death for the mortal realm."
"Having a lifespan, but not eternal life, is the meaning of Wusheng."
I looked at Yu Wusheng and said, "When I first entered the martial world, I encountered disciples of Wusheng forcing me to hand over my lifespan."
"If I didn't have some skill, I would have had to obediently hand over the lifespan I earned to you."
"What is Wusheng? It's the underworld of Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers)!"
"You..." Yu Wusheng instinctively wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason.
I squatted down and said, "Senior Yu, I think you might say that you did this to accumulate a group of Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers) who can cross the Land of Time."
"So that when the great war begins, all the Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers) will not be able to pass through that life and death barrier."
Yu Wusheng nodded and said, "You're right, I did have such an idea. Unfortunately, the underworld doesn't allow complete transfer of lifespan. After so many years of accumulation, Wusheng hasn't produced a Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrower) strong enough to cross the barrier of life and death."
I looked at Yu Wusheng in surprise. The latter seemed to understand what I meant and said, "Let's put it this way! In fact, I also realized that after a Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrower) gets five hundred years of life, they are likely to hide and wait to become immortal."
"So, I have also been controlling the lifespan of Wusheng's high-level members."
Yu Wusheng seemed to lose interest in explaining further: "If you want to scold me, then scold me. My methods are indeed disgraceful."
I laughed and said, "Why would I scold you?"
"In fact, we are the same kind of people. I have also done almost the same things as you."
Bu Shecai turned his head and said, "What did you do to Wusheng? You didn't steal Wusheng's lifespan, did you?"
I waved my hand and said, "I didn't steal the lifespan of the Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers), but I forced a group of sorcerers to go to Liangjie Mountain (Two Realms Mountain)."
I briefly explained how Ling and Cang Tianji plotted against the sorcerer's path and pushed many sects to Liangjie Mountain (Two Realms Mountain).
After listening, Bu Shecai laughed and said, "Boy, you are a man who does great things. If it were your master, he would definitely not do this."
"Your master would take the lead and rush to Liangjie Mountain (Two Realms Mountain), using his passion to inspire the sorcerer's path and stand up."
"He walks the path of righteousness, and you walk the path of evil."
"Which is more useful, the path of righteousness or the path of evil, is really hard to say!"
I understood what Bu Shecai meant: he wanted to tell me that Yu Wusheng was using the evil path for the sake of the greater good.
I said lightly, "I don't want to discuss right and wrong, or the greater good, with anyone. It's meaningless to win this kind of argument!"
"I just want to tell you that I came here for the secret in the dungeon, and I will use any means."
Yu Wusheng's eyes darkened as he looked at me and said, "You also want the lifespan of those Jie Ming Ren (Life Borrowers)?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm not interested in those things. I only want two things."
"First, I want the method to slay the demon. The demon suppressed under the tower must die."
"Second, I want to get out of the tower."
"As for your lifespans, keep them for yourselves!"
Yu Wusheng obviously didn't believe me. His eyes were fixed on mine, as if he wanted to see some clues from my eyes.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the door, "Hall Master Li, we're here to help you."
Someone opened the mechanism of the iron gate and broke in from the outside. The first thing I saw was an underling of Lao Gutou (Old Bone). That person's cultivation was not low.
After three people rushed in from outside, I whispered, "Ye Yang, close the door."
As Ye Yang's figure slid towards the door, the people who rushed in pounced towards Ye Yang.
What the three people didn't expect was that Ye Yang stopped at the door and stepped directly on the ground with his left foot.
In the instant when the dust on the ground, along with the iron plate, sank a few inches, the half-foot-thick iron door slammed shut at the fastest speed, and a prisoner who didn't have time to rush into the gate had his arm broken on the spot.
Amidst the screams, I looked at Yu Wusheng and asked, "Senior Yu, the three people who rushed in are not your subordinates, are they?"
