Chapter 2231 - Devouring and Refining Divine Flame
At this point of the conversation, the atmosphere suddenly grew stifled.
Su Yi continued drinking, unperturbed, but he said no more. Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye, meanwhile, was obviously thinking about something.
They’d already laid everything out in the open. Faint hints had been mapped and explored. All questions had been answered.
Some time passed before Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye broke the uncomfortable silence. “Why not attack, Fellow Daoist?”
Su Yi pondered briefly, then said, “There’s still room left to talk things over.”
It was true that Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye had targeted and interfered with him earlier, but he didn’t hate the man.
Ultimately, they were just on different sides. In Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye’s shoes, he wouldn’t have made concessions either. There’s no way he would have given the Blazing Sundial to another after fusing his very life into the treasure.
Besides, Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye had only recently done him a favor at the Mountain Guardian’s request.
But against Su Yi’s expectations, the Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye shook his head. “No, one of us must die today.”
“Why?” Su Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.
Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye laughed. “My life has long since become one with the Blazing Sundial. If you gain enlightenment into the Flame of Supreme Emergence, you’ll gain true mastery over the Blazing Sundial. Do you really think I’ll lower my head to you?”
Su Yi understood. Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye had effectively become the spirit of the sundial. If he wanted control over the Blazing Sundial, he’d have to force Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye to submit.
