"Why are you helping us stall for time?" Mo Jiuli asked bluntly.

"No reason, really. We met once and hit it off, that counts for something!"

"My life’s worth nothing, if I die then I die. But you two are good people, and you’re still young. You shouldn’t be wiped out just like this by people from the Zongzheng Family, so you have to live! Using my worthless life in exchange for you two staying alive, we come out ahead..." Great God Wang said honestly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He was a bit foolish, but he knew right from wrong. He had only known Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan for a day, but he found the two of them pleasing to the eye, and from the bottom of his heart he didn’t want anything to happen to this Husband and Wife. If someone had to die over what happened today, then it might as well be him...

Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan looked at Great God Wang standing before them. His gaze was clear, the anxiety and worry in his eyes plain to see. He wasn’t lying; he really was willing to trade his own life for the two of them to live. This kind of simple, pure bond made Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan smile faintly. Di Minghan, for once, let the corner of his Lips curl slightly as he said, "Don’t worry, it’s just the Zongzheng Family! Even if the two of us leave, they won’t give up just because they can’t find us. You still have your own Brothers, don’t you? Even if you’re not afraid of dying, aren’t you worried they’ll track down your Brothers and kill them too?"

"This... but Brother Shangguan, if you don’t leave now, they’ll be here soon. It’ll be too late then!" Great God Wang said, somewhat worried.

"Big brother Wang, relax. We won’t die, and you won’t die either!" Mo Jiuli Wenyan said with a faint smile.

"Brother Shangguan, Junior Sister, you don’t understand the Zongzheng Family. The Zongzheng Family is a Top-level force in our Cloud Underworld. The Zongzheng Family people have always been arrogant and domineering—wherever they go, no one dares provoke them. Anyone who offends them never survives!" Great God Wang couldn’t help saying as he looked at Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan.

"Mm, we get it. But we’re not easy to mess with either!" Mo Jiuli shot Great God Wang a squarish look and said.

"This... I don’t think this will work. You’d better go, I’ll stay behind and hold them off!" Great God Wang was still worried.

"Enough, we’ve already decided, Big brother Wang, stop agonizing over it. Hm? What’s that?" Mo Jiuli looked past Great God Wang in surprise.

Just then, a Red Light shot up from the bottom of the nearby Cliff. The Red Light was about as thick as a water barrel, lancing straight up toward the horizon and lingering for a long time. Everyone on top of the Cliff stared tensely at the Red Light, waiting for what would happen next...

"Huh... today the light seems a bit thicker than yesterday!" Great God Wang murmured as he watched the Red Light.

"This is the Spiritual Treasure you were talking about?" Mo Jiuli asked curiously, looking at the Red Light.

"That’s right, it’s this beam of light. It appears Every day at night, only the duration is different each time. But before, it was always as thick as a Big tree. Today it seems a bit thicker!" Great God Wang explained.

"Then how long will it take before we know whether that thing is really a treasure or not?" Mo Jiuli asked, a bit speechless.

"It’s precisely because we don’t know that everyone wants it so badly. Every time a Spiritual Treasure is born, it has to go through a process. Spiritual Treasures generally have Spiritual Intelligence—maybe when it encounters the Master it wants, it’ll emerge! For now, there’s nothing we can do but wait. After all, everyone who’s gone down to the bottom of this Cliff has died!" Great God Wang said helplessly.
