Chapter 1101: She's Gu Ruoyun? (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Perhaps, in the beginning, Lan Shao could still hold onto a small shred of delusion by hoping that the woman in green was not Gu Ruoyun and everything had been a plot concocted by everyone else to fool him. However, when he heard Bai Yin's reply, his last sliver of hope vanished and his face instantly turned as gray as ash. His expression was now filled with hopelessness.
"So she really is Gu Ruoyun. Why had you lied to me and said that she has no background?"
Lan Shao bellowed from the depths of his throat. It was easy to imagine the fiery anger that burns in his heart at the moment.
Bai Yin laughed icily as she retorted, "Knowing your guts, if I had told you that she was Gu Ruoyun, would you have continued to help me harm her? However, Lan Shao, you've realized this a little too late. Now that you're on the same boat as I am, she won't possibly spare you even if you want to get off this boat."
Lan Shao shut his eyes as his body trembled violently.
This time, he had indeed boarded a pirate ship!
No wonder Old Man Jiang and Old Man Gu still remained honor-bound to help her even when they were under the Red Lotus Territory's threat. Her status was really that special.
"What should I do?" asked Lan Shao as he cradled his head tightly. The space between his brows was full of agony and fear. "She's a pill master yet I have brazenly offended her! Knowing the power of a pill master's appeal, I'm afraid I won't be alive for very much longer."
Pill masters now hold a majestic position on this mainland because ever since the great war had exploded ten thousand years ago, all pill formulas have vanished from existence. Hence, that resulted in the pill masters having an existence similar to that of dinosaurs.
Any person who could refine pills would attract the attention of countless powerful cultivators who will bow before them and would do anything for them.
Hence, Lan Shao had already considered his tragic conclusion.
Bai Yin looked at the fear in Lan Shao's eyes and laughed icily in a nonchalant manner. "Isn't it too late for regrets now? Knowing that woman's savage and vicious methods, even if you were to beg for mercy, she won't possibly spare you! Hence, since that's the case, how about we continue our alliance and destroy that woman!"
"Destroy her?"
Lan Shao laughed bitterly. "You speak as though it's so easy. How should I actually go about it? She is a pill master and is surrounded by powerful cultivators! Regardless of how powerful the Lan family is, we can't possibly kill her!"
"Lan Shao, have you forgotten where I come from?" Bai Yin slowly raised the corners of her lips yet her eyes carried an icy chill which would not melt. "I come from the Red Lotus Territory and our Grand Lord has broken through to the Martial Saint rank not too long ago! This is public knowledge on the mainland. Do you think that Gu Ruoyun's great power could go against a Martial Saint? I can tell you with utmost certainty that the Grand Lord is already rushing towards Main City and his objective is to kill Gu Ruoyun! Hence, this is your opportunity to shine. If you can destroy Gu Ruoyun, the Grand Lord will be extremely elated. When that time comes, he would certainly help the Lan family to become the only Great Family in Main City."
At this moment, Bai Yin was not yet aware that her words would come to fruition. Grand Lord Hong Lian was indeed rushing towards the Northern Block Territory.
However, his arrival would spell the Lan family's doomsday!
"Fine!" Lan Shao took a deep breath. Right now, there was only one way out for him.
If Gu Ruoyun was allowed to live, perhaps he would be the one who ends up dead!
Now that he has Grand Lord Hong Lian as a pillar of support, why should he fear those powerful cultivators anymore?
