Chapter 1581
Chapter 1581: Lu Jiayun’s True Purpose!
“This is truly troublesome now…”
The chat ended, and Ye Qiyan let out a long sigh.
“A living Hero Race, huh.”
Several figures surfaced in his mind.
“Thirteenth, Twelfth, Ninth, and now the Eleventh has arrived. Should I say as expected of the Hero Race? They are said to have all been met with The End, yet one by one, they still have their own abilities and are able to leave something behind in the wilderness.
In that case…”
Ye Qiyan’s pupils constricted slightly as a bold idea formed.
“Could the apex of the Golden Race, the chief of the Hero Race, have left something behind as well? Or even…”
Did she not die?
No.
Ye Qiyan shook his head, negating his own thought.
If that chief of the Hero Race hadn’t died, the Golden Race would not have perished.
But…
Could something have been left behind?
“I don’t get it at all… Whatever, I’m just here to get the money this time. Once I get the money, I’ll bolt immediately. I refuse to believe this has anything to do with me anymore. Hiss, no, I need to hitch some good luck off of Zhao Lin; that should make it safe.”
As long as he didn’t proactively meddle in others’ business.
The safety of Order Heaven had nothing to do with him at all.
“Lisette, how much further?”
“At our current speed, we will arrive in another half a day.”
Half a day.
There… shouldn’t be any problems.
After all, Zhao Lin was still lucky.

“…Cough… Cough… Lu Jiayun… My good disciple, what a truly brilliant trick. So that’s how it is…”
Order Heaven Capital, High Heaven Battlefield.
Mowen, the Grand Executive of the City of a Thousand Stars, currently had three long sabers piercing through his body.
Immortal and indestructible, he was now nevertheless weakened to the brink of death.
And wielding those three long sabers were three humans.
Three “companions” from the same batch and same sector whom Mowen had resolved to protect.
Among the three were both men and women.
Their faces were filled with panic at this moment.
“Mo, Mowen! No, it’s not like that! Why? Why?! Why are you injured?! What about your regenerative ability?!”
Mowen let out a mocking smile, said nothing, and pulled out the three long sabers stuck in his body.
The gloomy light and shadows on those three sabers gradually extinguished.
He didn’t say anything, but three traces visible only to him shattered from around his body.
“Mowen, you?!”
“You know… I really hate you all.”
He gripped the throat of one of the women, snapped it raw, and tossed her down. The moment the woman hit the ground, she triggered some kind of resurrection item and fled in a panic.
Seeing this, the other two also turned around and ran in terror.
But they were intercepted by a burst of icy coldness.
The thirteen interconnected war drums on Mowen’s back gradually transformed toward a dark red hue.
He caught up to another person, gouged out their heart, crushed it, and forced their resurrection item to be automatically used.
“Inside the wilderness… truly anything can be found…”
Blood tears flowed from Mowen’s eyes.
More traces gradually vanished.
One hundred and nine promises, one hundred and nine traces.
Had the people behind the traces died?
No.
It was they who proactively lifted the promises.
The vanished traces numbered as many as fourteen.
In other words, those who simultaneously lifted the promises were fourteen “friends” from his same batch.
The “friends” he was determined to shelter.
“There are still… ninety-five left.”
“Where are they all? Why?”
“Why did you have to do this?”
Mowen grabbed another person once again, his eyes turning dark red and filled with hatred.
“It, it was Lu Jiayun! He threatened us, saying he would turn us into mortals! And after turning us into mortals, he would throw us into the lowest-level, inhuman Stop worlds to become slaves!”
“So what?!”
More fresh blood spewed from Mowen’s mouth.
“Even if you turned into mortals? Even if you became slaves?! As long as I, Mowen, am still here, as long as I am still alive! I will definitely be able to rescue you back! Let you become Train Captains again!?
Besides, won’t you resist—cough—won’t you resist?
Where is your backbone? Where is your Glory from when you used to be Train Captains?
You’ve turned into this state just from being scared a little?!
You guys aren’t even as good as Pei Yong!”
Mowen’s injuries grew increasingly severe.
His promises were backfiring.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at these people was full of exasperation at their failure to live up to expectations.
“Back then, I led you all as we adventured constantly, killing so many True Gods! It was merely… cough… merely being threatened, merely facing Lu Jiayun’s Transcendent Annihilation!
What on earth are you all afraid of?!”
Mowen’s strength was gradually diminishing.
Right at this moment, a massive ice sword resembling a mountain plummeted from the sky.
“Get lost!”
He forcefully threw the man he was holding far away, tossed another fleeing person to a safe location, propped up his war drums, and raised the sharp sword in his hand toward the sky.
The dim yellow light and shadows instantly surged.
Thunder roared deafeningly!
[Dusk is approaching!]
However, being overly weakened, he was unable to withstand this ice sword and was forcefully pressed down.
Fortunately, the war drums behind him bloomed with brilliance, and a dragon-shaped thunder artifact spirit emerged from within, intercepting this attack.
“Master! This attack cannot be taken head-on! If you are hit head-on by this freezing power and killed, resurrection items will be ineffective!”
Mowen stood up from the ground, panting heavily as he looked up at the sky.
The Hero of Zero Sky still maintained that emotionless puppet-like appearance.
She overlooked the earth.
Those three “companions” from the same batch all ran over at this moment.
“Wh—why did you save us? We, we clearly already—!”
“Betrayed me already, is that it?”
Mowen cast off his upper garments, and numerous slaves who had been fighting the ice spirit elemental lives were all approaching this direction.
“So what if you betrayed me? So what if the promises were torn up? I promised you all that as long as I am still alive, as long as it isn’t yourselves who want to die and try to return to the wilderness just like Pei Yong!
This old man will protect you until the very last moment, until the day I die!
Don’t worry about me! Do not let them die!
This is this old man’s promise!”
Right now! If Mowen were to look at his personal information System Interface, he would definitely be able to see it!
His Talent was glowing brilliantly!
[Promise]
Transforming into a dark gold color!
“I will not fall, in order to avenge my daughter…”
His words came to an abrupt halt.
“Xiao’ai?”
At this moment, he finally noticed something that, for some unknown reason, he had inexplicably and deliberately forgotten.
Where was Xiao’ai?
Xiao’ai’s corpse?!
He had clearly instructed the slaves to guard it properly!
But.
Where was she?!
Where had she gone?!
More importantly, why hadn’t he noticed this matter?
Something was affecting his Mental Power, affecting his attention!
Yet at this moment, there was simply no room for Mowen to think further.
The Hero of Zero Sky shed tears while being forcibly manipulated by the person behind her to launch an attack!
In her eyes, a mocking expression appeared.
That expression definitely did not belong to this Hero of Zero Sky!
But rather…
“Master, it’s time for you to retire!”
She was being manipulated by Lu Jiayun.
Lu Jiayun wanted to kill Mowen!
Furthermore, he wanted to cause the entire Order Heaven to fall!
This was his purpose!
