Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2680 Same fate
In the darkness, under the lights, two gleaming green eyes peeked from the corner of the wall.

Ji Jiashu's hair stood on end.

"Chun..."

Just as he was about to draw his sword, Ying Baoyue grabbed his wrist.

Ji Jiashu then realized that Ying Baoyue hadn't even mobilized her true energy.

Neither she nor Chunyu Ye used their true energy; their auras were contained within, almost silently blending into the night.

The two stood silently facing each other, a dozen steps apart, a deathly silence enveloping them.

Ji Jiashu's hand holding the sword froze, and he suddenly felt somewhat discouraged.

He discovered that there was also a tacit understanding between Ying Baoyue and Chunyu Ye; the two seemed to know what the other was going to do just by looking at each other.

"Hmm, your king is right, be a good boy and listen to me."

Chunyu Ye glanced at Ji Jiashu, his tone relaxed, showing no sign of the tension of being deep in enemy territory, "You should know what the consequences would be if things were to escalate now."

Ji Jiashu frowned and secretly released his true essence to investigate, but he did not find any aura of the Zen temple disciples around Chunyu Ye.

This guy really seems to have come alone.

"How did you get here?" Ying Baoyue asked expressionlessly. "This city is teeming with Qin soldiers."

Even for Chunyu Ye, breaking through Li Jinniang's defenses silently wouldn't be so easy.

Is it possible that I never left at all?

Chunyu Ye smiled beneath his mask, "I was already in this city before you arrived."

Ji Jiashu was stunned, unsure whether to admire Chunyu Ye's courage or his ability to conceal his presence.

"Sure enough, the black mud left in the county government office is from where you left it."

She had been wondering how such a small amount of remaining black mud could hide underground after encountering the auras of so many Heavenly Realm cultivators, but it turned out that Chunyu Ye was still in the city.

"Are you the only one left in the city?" Ying Baoyue stared into those smiling, emerald eyes. "Where are the other disciples of the Zen Temple?"

“They’ve retreated to the Eternal Night Great Wall after their plan failed,” Chunyu Ye laughed. “After all, your army is about to arrive, so we need to prepare properly.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll really kill you if you stay here alone?"

Ying Baoyue said calmly, "The city is now full of my people."

Yun Zhongjun and Bai Quanshen are both trapped by Li Ji. With Ji Jiashu, Li Jinniang, Meng Shi, and her, if she really gets ruthless, she might be able to completely destroy Chunyu Ye.

“Of course you can choose to kill me,” Chunyu Ye said with an air of utter arrogance, “it just depends on whether you can afford the price.”

Ying Baoyue remained silent.

When they reach their level, once they make a move, it's a major conflict.

Even if they ganged up on Chunyu Ye, someone would inevitably be seriously injured or killed if they wanted to kill him.

With a major battle imminent, the Qin army could not afford to lose even one soldier.

Of course, the same situation applies to the Western Rong.

"Since you were in this city before, you were also involved in the hunt for Meng Shi, right?"

"In all honesty, if I had really gotten serious, that girl wouldn't be so lively and energetic," Chunyu Ye said, spreading his hands. "I only helped a little with the Zen temple's decree."

That's the truth, but if Yelü Hua hadn't done everything in his power to reverse the situation, Ying Baoyue knew very well that Chunyu Ye would have added fuel to the fire and killed Meng Shi as well.

What exactly do you want to do by staying?

Ying Baoyue was too lazy to waste words with him. "You don't mean you want to catch up with me here, do you?"

Judging from his appearance, Chunyu Ye has been disguised as a Silver Cicada Guard on this city wall for at least two days, and he has probably figured out everything that could be found out.

This is the first time I've ever seen an enemy commander personally infiltrate as a spy.

"I want to catch up with you, and I also have something I want to ask you."

Chunyu Ye sat down by the wall as if nothing had happened, then beckoned to Ying Baoyue, "Come sit down." Ying Baoyue turned to leave.

Ji Jiashu suspected that this person might have something wrong with their brain.

But it seems this person has never been normal.

"What? You said this is your territory. You two aren't afraid of me alone, are you?"

Chunyu Ye was so frank that it seemed like he was lying, but Ying Baoyue didn't detect any signs of formations or traps around him.

“I came alone, but I have shown my utmost sincerity.”

Ying Baoyue hesitated for a moment, then walked towards him.

"Embrace the Moon!" Ji Jiashu grabbed her wrist from behind, his face full of doubt. In his opinion, Chunyu Ye was full of evil magic and could not be taken lightly.

"We can't just leave him here, can we?" Ying Baoyue sighed. "He won't leave unless I go over there."

They couldn't hit him, and they couldn't drive him away. They couldn't let Chunyu Ye stay here pretending to be a Silver Cicada Guard forever.

Ji Jiashu released his grip and followed Ying Baoyue closely until they reached Chunyu Ye.

“Sit down,” Chunyu Ye said, patting the ground beside him with complete ease, as if the previous fighting and conflict had never happened.

Ying Baoyue glanced at his back. "Are you no longer under the control of the White Dog God?"

She hadn't forgotten that Chunyu Ye had already been completely parasitized by the White Dog God.

"Thanks to Li Ji, he completely trapped the white dog's true form, which made my life much easier."

Although the White Dog God's parasite is still inside his body, it is currently in a dormant state, and Chunyu Ye has not felt his mind so clear for a long time.

Ying Baoyue was stunned. She only knew that Li Ji had trapped Yun Zhongjun, but she did not expect that he had even trapped the true form of the White Dog God.

However, judging from the appearance, the parasites on Chunyu Ye's back were indeed not as obvious as before.

"Do you still have your wings?" Ying Baoyue asked.

"What? You want to see?" Chunyu Ye raised his eyes, a teasing look on his face. "I didn't expect you to be interested in this."

Ying Baoyue frowned, picked up her armor, and sat cross-legged next to Chunyu Ye.

Ji Jiashu frowned, gripping the Spring Thunder Sword tightly, and sat down between Ying Baoyue, facing her.

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want to ask after taking such a big risk?"

Chunyu Ye's smile faded, and his gaze sharpened. "Where is Li Ji now?"

Ying Baoyue's gaze sharpened. "Do you think I'd tell you?"

Even if she knew, why would she reveal it to Chunyu Ye?

"Besides, you have the White Dog God parasitizing you, how could you not sense the location of the White Dog God?"

“What are you saying?” Chunyu Ye looked Ying Baoyue up and down. “Don’t you also have the Azure Dragon God’s parasitic presence on you?”

Ying Baoyue was stunned; she had never thought of it this way before.

"What, you think I don't know?" Chunyu Ye laughed. "As fellow cultivators parasitized by gods, it's not hard to tell."

"You don't think that your relationship with the Azure Dragon God is different from my relationship with the White Dog God, do you?"

"If your relationship is truly equal, then He cannot unilaterally sever your connection; you can definitely find where He is. Can you?"

"Why would my master tell his slave where he is?"

"Your desperate attempt to save him is nothing more than being controlled by divine power."

"We are nothing but puppets manipulated by the gods."

Ying Baoyue froze upon hearing this, and Ji Jiashu was also greatly shocked.
