The small brick house.

Xiao Die wasnt here; she had either gone to the Ominous Demon Tower or the City Lords manor.

Gu Qing Shan tossed Yu Juan on the ground and pierced his chest with the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

Numerous rays of light appeared from Yu Juans body, then quickly faded away.

Yu Juan endured the pain and coldly questioned: This isnt the Earth sword. How could it destroy all of my defensive measures?

Gu Qing Shan didnt answer.

He grabbed the hilt of the sword and lifted Yu Juan up, violently pinning him on the wall.

Aaarrggh-

Yu Juan uttered a painful shriek, as if preparing to unleash something.

Gu Qing Shans expression didnt change and simply declared: Move, and you die

Yu Juan could only hang both hands down.

He breathed heavily: You- how did you discover me?

Gu Qing Shan questioned in return: Yu Juan, why did you sell me out? For what reason did you tell the wraiths about me?

Yu Juans expression reflected clear pain as his was sweating bullets, seemingly unable to endure the torture of being pinned to the wall.

Shannus voice sounded from the sword: Gongzi, this isnt his real body

Gu Qing Shans expression remained calm and nonchalantly replied: I know

There were infinite worlds within the space vortex with countless Combatants with countless abilities. It was impossible for someone to always win against their adversaries, and even more impossible to know everything.

Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan specifically chose the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to attack him.

This sword was capable of breaking all Laws.

This was why Shannu instantly noticed the disparity as soon as she stabbed him.

Yu Juans pained expression faded, he then smiled: Your sword spirit sure is sensitive. How regretful that my eyes were drawn by the Earth sword and didnt notice that you had another such a powerful sword

Gu Qing Shan spoke: Ill ask you again, why did you sell me out?

He stared closely into Yu Juans eyes; his tone now gained a bit of killing intent.

I wont force you to answer if you dont want to, but keep in mind, I will destroy this clone of yours, then continued searching for you until I kill you

Yu Juan replied: Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, tsk, sure enough, someone who could achieve so many things wouldnt be easy to deal with how about this, Ill answer one of your questions, then you must answer one of my questions. If you refuse, then just kill this clone, well meet again later

Why did you sell me out? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan chuckled and replied: You sure wasted no time on that- very well, Ill tell you. I did not sell you out, even now I havent done so, we simply arent people on the same side from the very beginning. Everything Ive done, I did out of necessity from my perspective

In other words, my death benefits you in some way Gu Qing Shan said.

Correct Yu Juan admitted.

Whats your relationship with the wraiths? Gu Qing Shan asked again.

Stop, weve already agreed, one question in exchange for one question Yu Juan said.

He then asked: Dragon King, how did you notice that it was me?

Gu Qing Shan coldly replied: Youve always left a bunch of breadcrumbs to be seen. I simply didnt say anything because everyone has their own secrets, and you havent done anything I cant forgive, not to mention weve even fought on the same side

The six-winged seraph laughed: Dont act so deep. I can already guess what happened, it must have been Crows predictions, otherwise you would never have discovered that you were sold out

Gu Qing Shan muttered: Ever since Crow and I saved you from the pile of corpses, you were already exposed

Yu Juans laughter stopped.

Youre lying he stared straight at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a heavy tone.

It was quite simple. When Crow and I were stuck in the tower, you purposely gave off a hint of vitality while hiding among a pile of corpses, I knew right away that there were issues with you

I was a survivor Yu Juan said.

The corpses around you were several days old, some of the corpses had already become rotten, but you were still full of vitality. In an apocalyptic situation, that kind of luck is nearly nonexistent Gu Qing Shan explained.

Yu Juan remained silent for a bit, then said: Ill be sure to pay attention to my surroundings next time but that cant prove that theres some sort of issue with me, what if I was truly just lucky?

Gu Qing Shan continued: In the Saint Spirit world, to better deal with the worlds issues and challenges, I was turned into a young man, Crow was turned into a woman, while you were turned into a duck plushie

So what? Speaking of which, that world spirit is truly detestable, turning me into a toy like that Yu Juan begrudgingly said.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him and slowly pointed out: I was turned into a young man because the world spirit needed me to begin with the identity of Rhode; Crow was turned into a woman because he was already extremely beautiful as a man, turning him into a woman only helped him further take advantage of what he already had dont you get it? The world spirit was helping us, and also helping itself

But you were turned into a duck plushie, meaning that the world spirit felt cautious against you. It would rather disregard you as a possible helping hand than to let you participate in the crucial events that followed

If you were with me while I was doing my work in the plague world and extinct monster world, then the results might have been very different

Gu Qing Shans body tilted forward and stared straight into Yu Juans eyes, telling him: The world spirit is the combined form of numerous Laws, it was able to sense that you were trouble

Yu Juan was stunned, temporarily speechless.

Gu Qing Shan continued: After we returned, while Crow and I were discussing our matter, you happened to show up just in time, and even introduced the technological light rings that could monitor everything

Seems like you really didnt know, but Im actually a scientist

You? A scientist? Yu Juan exclaimed in disbelief.

Gu Qing Shan regretfully continued: I know of the hidden functions of your lightbulb, but didnt say anything. Because I felt that regardless of the schemes youre trying to hatch, I would be able to handle them

You wont be able to handle this one Yu Juan refuted.

Gu Qing Shan didnt say anything.

He simply pointed at the sword in Yu Juans chest with his finger.

Yu Juan looked down at the sword in his chest and fell silent.

At this point, powerful rays of light could be seen appearing one after another from the nearby window.

Hurry! Lets go take a look!

Somebody destroyed the Church

What the hell, who exactly was it that actually managed to erase the entire Splendor Saint Church!?

Those angels are running everywhere like headless flies

My god, this is big news!

The two people in the small brick house silently listened to the conversation outside.

Yu Juans pupils suddenly shrank, his expression turned absolutely serious.

Gu Qing Shan then said: Now its your turn to answer me- whats the relationship between you and the wraiths?

Allies. Many of the forces within Void City are mutual allies with the wraiths, like the Grand Library, the Church, the Bounty Hunter Guild. There are actually a lot more, but I can only tell you three of them at most, I wont mention the rest Yu Juan said.

Why do you want to help the wraiths? You know theyve done a lot of evil deeds, so what exactly are you thinking? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan waved his hand dismissively and said: Its my turn to ask you now. Tell me, if the person you sold you out wasnt me but Crow, then would you also have so many reasons to suspect that there were issues with him?

Gu Qing Shan replied: Theres a lot, but theyre not exactly clues

What do you mean? Yu Juan questioned.

In their daily lives, it is impossible for an individual to always focus themselves on a single task, the general state for everyone should be subconscious for example, while were drinking at the bar, if you took the time to make observations, youd discover that everyone is prone to making a lot of subconscious gestures that they dont even notice. But you cant simply use these subconscious actions to judge whether or not someone is good or bad this was also the reason why I easily ignored your schemes so many times Gu Qing Shan replied.

You thought that I was on your side Yu Juan concluded.

Correct, especially after we went through battle together Gu Qing Shan replied.

Yu Juan tilted his head to think, then continued: Then, you were waiting to see what kind of wrongdoing I would commit? And then what? What were you going to do then?

Gu Qing Shan replied: If you were heading down the wrong path, I would pull you pack; if you were being forced by someone else, I would kill them; if you had other troubles, Crow and I would have helped you resolve them

Yu Juan lowered his head, a lot of images flashed through his gaze but he didnt say anything for a while.

Then, youre saying I disappointed you? he suddenly asked.

From now on, you wont be able to Gu Qing Shan replied.

Yu Juan looked up, once again carefully observing Gu Qing Shan.

Its been a long time since I met someone like you he slowly said, If this wasnt a crucial point in our operation, and you werent standing in the middle of our bigger picture, I truly would have wanted you to join us

What exactly are you doing? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan stared straight at him, then seriously replied: After I answer this question, I wont owe you anything else. From this point on, you and I will live as fate had decided for us to, our acquaintance wont affect our survival

That will depend on the answer I receive Gu Qing Shan replied.

Yu Juan slightly tilted forward and lowered his voice: The Era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is approaching, and we are preparing to destroy the entire Samsara to fix the future era

He then twisted around himself, his body slashed to bits by the sword that was pinning him to the wall, shattering into pieces of white paper.

he destroyed his own clone to leave Gu Qing Shans sight.
