Chapter 1544 - 1503: Those Who Recognize the Times
"Why should I trust you? I was originally free, but it was you who forcibly brought me here, so why put on such a benevolent facade?"
"Because you are no match for me. You are a Demon King at the Integration Realm, yet don’t understand such a simple truth? You are inferior; either follow my commands or face certain death!"
"So even if I help you, will you really let me go?"
"If I win, the two tower bodies will merge into one, body and soul united. Even if I can’t restore my peak strength, I will at least be at the Tribulation Crossing Realm. At that time, I will naturally let you go. But if I lose, it will be my death and fall. The tower body will be destroyed, and by then, whether or not to let you go won’t be my decision. It’ll depend on whether she and Lu Chuan are willing to spare you.
So, for you, the best outcome is to help me defeat Lu Chuan and her, and I will indeed grant you freedom."
Saying this, Empress Wu Zong curled her lips and extended a hand to Yun Yan’s brow.
"Or, you can refuse now, and I’ll send you on your way immediately."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan gritted her teeth tightly, her expression becoming increasingly grim.
"You obviously haven’t given me room to refuse!"
"Because you have no right to refuse; you can only agree!"
"...I can help you, but I won’t take action against the Tower Spirit and Lu Chuan. I will help you block the other Integration Realm experts. I’m no match for the Tower Spirit, and you know this well. The Demon Suppression Pagoda is the Demon Tribe’s nemesis."
"Appreciating those who know their circumstances, I admire you."
