Chapter 2398 - Mental Warfare
The new arrival was tall, thin, and dressed in blue. Even standing there casually, he had a transcendent air, as if he’d risen above it all.
This was none other than Su Yi!
The Butcher was stunned. What’s he doing here?
“It’s His Excellency Fuyou!” Madam Mei and the other ancient divine wraiths’ spirits soared. They felt as if they’d found their pillar of support.
“Senior Su...” Mu Bai’s eyes lit up. Waves of emotion coursed through his heart.
“Su Yi!?” The Angler’s eyes flashed. “Even a Nine-Tribulation Master God would have needed three to five days to get here from the Endless Ocean. You... sure got here quickly!”
He realized how serious the problem was. Su Yi stood before him, while the Butcher stood behind him. He was beset on both sides, unable to advance or retreat!
“Why target Mu Bai?” Su Yi asked calmly. “In the present-day God Domain, even someone as clever as the Dipankara Buddha has gone dormant. Yet despite your intelligence, you’ve made a personal appearance just to target a junior. Why? Don’t even try to tell me it’s just for the Blade of Heaven’s Loathing.”
The Angler laughed coldly. “You’ve already guessed, so what need is there to ask?”
“Do you want to use Mu Bai’s life to set a trap for me?” asked Su Yi. “But in that case, what need did you have to act in person?”
The Angler had a complicated look on his face. “I attacked in person, only for the Butcher to stand in my way. How could anyone else in my shoes have had even the barest hope of victory?”
Su Yi glanced at the Butcher standing in the distance. “You’re not the only one surprised by his intervention.”
