Chapter 5889: Let Me Go
Twilight neither confirmed nor denied Li Qiyeâs claims.
âLooks like I got most of it right.â Li Qiye stretched and said: âNow, to find out.â
âLet some riddles be left unanswered.â Twilight said.
âIâm afraid you canât stop me from solving them, nor can anyone else. You have nothing to put on the table for negotiation.â Li Qiye smiled.
âI do have something to say.â Twilight retreated a few steps backward.
Li Qiye didnât seem to mind because the guy had exposed himself. Any attempt to escape was futile since he was trapped inside the cage.
Stonesplitter who had lost to Li Qiye understood the difference in power. Twilight shouldnât even try to bring down Li Qiye with him; he would just look like a fool.
âAbout what?â Li Qiye asked.
By this point, nothing could tempt Li Qiye enough to spare him. Paragon artifacts werenât worthy of his time, so making a deal appeared impossible.
âRelease me in exchange for Eight Desolaces.â Twilight said softly.
âItâs a reasonable response. What will you do, let me go for Eight Desolacesâ safety?â Twilight understood this didnât look good for him.
âThis world doesnât need my protection.â Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: âThe moment you showed up today, you were destined for death. The only agency you have left in this short time is either committing suicide or dying to me.â
âThe destruction of Eight Desolaces and the refinement of its inhabitants mean nothing to you, Sacred Teacher?â Twilight couldnât stay calm.
The crowd was split into two sides - those from the six continents felt nothing because they had no attachment to Eight Desolaces.
However, the Immortal Emperors and dao lords stared intensely at Li Qiye since this was their old home at risk.
If Li Qiye chose to focus on killing Twilight Hunter, Eight Desolaces would be destroyed.
âHow delusional that I would concede in this case, do you think too highly of yourself or too lowly of me.â Li Qiye said.
Twilight was taken aback and felt himself being at a complete disadvantage since his threat did not affect Li Qiye.
âSacred Teacher, if you watch your epoch devoured without a care, how is that different from falling into the darkness?â He took a deep breath and said.
âAre you sure you understand the definition of falling? You might be influenced by the old man and think that if itâs not light, itâs darkness.â Li Qiye retorted.
