Pre-death assessment

As soon as Ning Qimao said this, the others also looked at Long Jiankong with the same skeptical gaze.

This is indeed questionable.

First of all, Long Jiankong was one of the strongest among all the challengers in the sixth level.

The dominance value is also the highest, with more than twenty teammates.

Before Ling Wu and the others came down, his team was the strongest team in this sixth level.

Secondly, regarding the current matter, when Gan Jia took over the alliance, he only sent a few people to find Ling Wu and inform him.

The other people have the ability to detect and track, so it's understandable that they could find Ling Wu quickly and release him.

However, Long Jiankong himself does not have this kind of strength, so why did Tiangan Jia release him?

Isn't this redundant?

"This... I'm not that kind of prince you're talking about!"

Long Jiankong's expression was full of innocence: "I wish I could kill that Heavenly Stem, kill them all."

"But there are indeed many things about you that are questionable."

Li Ming continued, "We thought Lan Tian was suspicious before, but now it seems you're just as suspicious as him."

Long Jiankong had come to see them before, speaking ill of Lan Tian behind his back.

This kind of behavior of saying one thing to people and doing another behind their backs is itself a point of suspicion.

"No, I really didn't!"

Long Jiankong looked at Ling Wu with an innocent gaze: "You believe me."

"Besides... regardless of whether you doubt me or not, the most important thing right now is to save lives."

"You doubt me? Fine, do whatever you want with me, but you have to rescue my sister, rescue everyone."

"My teammates have been with me for so long, I can't let anything happen to them, otherwise I would be letting them down."

As he spoke, his face was full of helplessness and pleading.

They do seem quite innocent.

Everyone else's eyes were on Chao Lingwu.

The doubts are indeed valid, but they can only remain doubts; there is no concrete evidence.

So, the decision on how to handle this matter ultimately rests with Ling Wu.

Ling Wu's judgment was, of course, more accurate than that of others.

Where are they?

Just then, Ling Wu spoke.

"It's right there at the barrier of the great forest."

Long Jiankong quickly replied, "I think that guy might want to destroy the Beast King training ground we just built, cutting off everyone's path to the level."

"That Heavenly Stem Jia said that we should find you and then take you to see him."

"Otherwise...otherwise he might have killed everyone."

Anyway, that's what the Heavenly Stem Jia said at the time, but whether it actually went through with it is unknown.

Ling Wu nodded, then simply said, "Let's heal our wounds first."

"this……"

Long Jiankong was taken aback, then quickly said, "I'm fine, saving people is the priority now."

What time is it and you're still healing?

Their injuries are nothing to worry about.

As long as they don't die, no treatment is needed.

The most important thing right now is to save everyone.

"It's okay."

However, Ling Wu slowly said, "Wait a little longer."

"This... lives are at stake, we can't wait, brother!" Long Jiankong was very anxious.

His own sister and teammates are still in the hands of the Heavenly Stem Jia.

What if that guy gets upset and actually kills them one by one?

What are we waiting for? What's there to wait for?

"Why all the nonsense? Just wait when I tell you to."

Xin Xinran said, "Even if you're not the Crown Prince, their plan is to lure my husband there to rescue people. Wouldn't we just be falling into their trap if he went?"

"this……"

Long Jiankong was at a loss for what to do.

Although he is indeed very anxious right now.

But Xin Xinran is right.

That day, Gan Jia and the Crown Prince had prepared a trap for Ling Wu. Now that Ling Wu is going there, isn't he just falling into their trap?

"Don't blame me."

Ling Wu continued, "They did indeed target you to deal with me, but... that Crown Prince was already part of your alliance."

Long Jiankong lowered his head. This question... if we're talking about right or wrong, there's no right or wrong.

Their alliance was formed to clear the game.

That's everyone's initial goal.

No one expected that the young master had already infiltrated their alliance.

They formed the alliance to clear the level, and the young master took advantage of the situation and used the alliance to deal with Ling Wu.

It's not Ling Wu's fault, nor is it theirs. The blame lies with Tian Gan Jia and that Death God's clone seed.

"Then...when should we make our move?"

Long Jiankong then asked.

He is really worried about his sister and his teammates.

"We'll get started once we've rested."

Ling Wu simply replied, "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

Hearing this, Long Jiankong could only grit his teeth and say, "Then... then I'll go back and keep an eye on them."

Ling Wu was worried, but they couldn't help but worry.

It's best to keep an eye on them. If that Heavenly Stem Jia really goes on a killing spree, and they all join forces, at least... there might still be a sliver of a chance.

"That's fine too." Ling Wu didn't object.

"Alright, then we'll be waiting for you."

Long Jiankong said something, and then, without waiting for his injuries to fully heal, he led the group he had brought back the way he came.

Watching Long Jiankong and the others leave, Ning Qimao and the others frowned.

"Is this guy... even possible?"

The group then turned to Ling Wu and asked.

As for who the Crown Prince really is, only Ling Wu seems to have a slight idea right now.

In their opinion, everyone looks like one.

Ling Wu simply smiled and then shook his head.

"Not him?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

But he's clearly very suspicious.

Is it really true that the more suspicious a person is, the less likely they are to be involved?

"So... what should we do? What are we waiting for?"

Li Ming then asked.

Ling Wu said to wait until they had rested.

But they don't actually need to rest at all.

Ling Wu said this on purpose to push Long Jiankong away.

So, what is Ling Wu's intention?

Should we go and rescue them?

I don't recommend that you help.

Xin Xinran then said, "These people don't have much to do with you, so there's no need to take risks for them."

She doesn't care what others do.

She only cares about Ling Wu.

If Ling Wu goes, he might indeed save everyone.

But there is also the possibility of being in danger.

If Ling Wu doesn't go, he's at least 100% safe.

"I left all the white mist to them; that's already a favor to them."

Xin Xinran continued, "So let them fend for themselves."

The people in the alliance really didn't have much to do with them.

Speaking of which, the people in the league still owe her a favor.

However, Ling Wu simply smiled.

He then raised his hand and looked at the hair-woven bracelet on his wrist.

"You didn't throw this piece of junk away?" Xin Xinran frowned slightly.

What's the point of keeping a bracelet made from a woman's fallen hair?

And what do you think this bracelet means?

What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with Long Li?

You are Ling Wu, someone who doesn't care about romantic relationships.

And you already have a girlfriend!

"We can indeed just walk away and leave it at that."

Ling Wu then slowly said, "But in the end, the reason they were captured was indeed because of me."

"So what? This is a test space before death. Just focus on protecting yourself. You don't necessarily have to care about the lives of others."

Xin Xinran shrugged.

In this space where we are tested before death, aren't most people like this?

As long as I can live, I don't care whether other people live or die.

The more I try to manage it, the more likely I am to get myself involved.

It's like when we're playing a game and my teammate gets hit, so I have to go and heal him.

I tried to pull myself up, but instead of pulling the person up, I got dragged down with me.

Since you've already been defeated, then go die.

"Yeah?"

Ling Wu smiled, then asked a strange question in return: "If I didn't care whether you lived or died, would you think that would be okay?"

"I……"

Xin Xinran was speechless for a moment.

Yes, this is a space for testing before death. Most people are lucky if they can even save themselves. Whether they can be good people depends entirely on the circumstances.

No one has an absolute obligation to care about or be concerned about others.

But in reality, everyone hopes that others will care about them and pay attention to them.

"Whatever you want!"

Xin Xinran then simply said, "Anyway, I've already made it clear: if a fight really breaks out, I can only barely hold off Tiangan Jia; the rest is up to you."

She is also a Heavenly Stem, but her strength is slightly different from that of a Heavenly Stem Jia.

But if she fights to the death, she might be able to hold off the enemy for a while.

As for the Crown Prince, Ling Wu would have to deal with him on his own.

Moreover, besides the Heavenly Stem Jia and the Crown Prince, they also have a large number of calamities and hunters at their disposal.

"It's okay."

Ling Wu smiled and said, "It's not like we have to confront them head-on."

"Do you have some idea?"

Xin Xinran was a little curious.

Ling Wu smiled faintly.

There are many ways.

It depends on which one to use.

"So when will we make our move?"

Li Ming and the others then asked further questions.

In their view, the person definitely deserved to be saved.

This is the way of being a person.

Although this is a space for the final assessment before death, we should refrain from discussing matters of benevolence and morality.

But it is precisely because of this that benevolence and morality are so rare and precious.

"Wait a little longer." Ling Wu simply smiled.

Everyone was curious.

Wait? What are we waiting for?

Time quickly passed and it was late at night.

Under the cover of darkness, not far from that vast barrier that spans a hundred kilometers in diameter.

Long Jiankong and his companions lay in ambush among the pile of rocks.

The group peered through the cracks in the rocks into the distance.

In front of the barrier, a giant python circled the city.

The alliance members were trapped in that circle.

The giant python was a special red calamity; the circle it formed possessed a unique suppressive force that could suppress the abilities of those with special abilities to a certain extent.

Even with so many people in the league, they can still suppress it to a certain extent.

Besides the giant python, there are other high-level calamities around, and many top-level hunters patrolling in the sky and on the ground.

The Heavenly Stem Jia stands at the forefront of all calamities and top-tier hunters, waiting there.

One Heavenly Stem Jia carries so many high-level calamities and so many top-tier hunters.

Even the members of the alliance were powerless to resist at this moment.

"Fortunately, they didn't go on a killing spree."

Seeing this, Long Jiankong breathed a slight sigh of relief.
