Chapter 708: The Chessboard
Baize?
Chu Liang really didn't expect to hear this.
The Baize of Mount Shu was a pureblooded ancient celestial beast. It was connected to the heavens and earth and knew all things yin and yang. It possessed supreme divine wisdom and had served as Mount Shu Sect's guardian celestial beast since the era of Hallowed Yang.
It would be easier to believe that the leader of the Mount Shu Sect had done things that harmed the sect than to suspect Baize.
Chu Liang's first reaction was that Caiyi was lying to him. After all, a certain renowned foot massage therapist's mother once said, "The prettier the woman, the better the liar.[1]"
However, as he pondered over it, there didn't seem to be any reason for her to lie in this situation.
But why would Baize do such a thing?
Chu Liang immediately thought of a possibility.
Baize had an incredibly long lifespan, spanning thousands of years. It was likely Baize was not much younger than the Golden Dragon that used to suppress the fate of the Yu Dynasty, and that Golden Dragon had already passed away. This meant that Baize was likely nearing the end of its lifespan.
As an eighth-realm existence being on the brink of ascension, it would have to wait for the fall of the ninth-realm existence. Yet, even after being suppressed within the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda for nearly three thousand years, the Demon God had only lost half of its life essence.
The Baize might not have the time to wait another three thousand years...
