Chapter 1146 I've been waiting for you for a long time!
"Holy hell, Big Brother, this woman is truly insidious. She's clearly trying to use other factions to get rid of you."
Xiang Chuan spoke, and Yang Haoran unhurriedly took a puff from his cigarette, responding with a faint smile.
"There's nothing surprising about this. Her stance and mine are different. As long as she has a chance to take me down, how could she possibly miss it? Right now, I haven't made a move; I'm just here watching the show. In her eyes, that's a good opportunity, and of course, she'd seize it."
Xiang Chuan's gaze swept across the crowd, noticing that many eyes were now fixed on their location, and those gazes were far from friendly.
"Hah, there are actually people who believe that woman's nonsense, and quite a few of them too!"
Xiang Chuan scoffed, his tone revealing clear disdain.
"Heh heh, many people in this world consider themselves very clever, but these very people are often susceptible to agitation. They believe whatever others say, becoming pawns without realizing it, and even to their dying breath, they never awaken. Truly pathetic."
Yang Haoran smiled faintly. Though his tone was calm, his words were brimming with sharp sarcasm, and the objects of his satire weren't just the people currently present.
"Just watch your show. Don't mind them. If they truly feel they've lived enough and are itching for death, I won't be stingy."
No sooner had Yang Haoran's words fallen than Wan Wu Yi, who had been dodging the fierce assaults of several individuals, also spoke up.
"Hahahahaha, Gu Mo City's recent disappearances were all my doing. They have nothing to do with Yang Haoran. You don't need to force this black pot onto his back."
Wan Wu Yi's words not only astonished the people from various major factions, but even Yang Haoran himself felt a degree of surprise, for he had not expected Wan Wu Yi to actually speak up for him, proving his innocence. This indeed greatly exceeded his expectations.
"What is this devil up to? Is he trying to curry favor with you, Big Brother?"
Xiang Chuan was equally perplexed, unable to understand what Wan Wu Yi was really playing at.
"Heh heh, this is getting more and more interesting."
Yang Haoran smiled faintly. In his heart, he actually didn't agree with Xiang Chuan's interpretation. While Wan Wu Yi's words at this moment indeed strongly suggested an attempt to curry favor with him, a brief thought was enough for Yang Haoran to deem that possibility unlikely.
Firstly, Wan Wu Yi was not his friend. In the recent Gu Mo City disappearances, Yang Haoran and the Gu Mo City Underworld Office were the greatest victims, and all of it was thanks to Wan Wu Yi. Therefore, he and Wan Wu Yi were not just not friends, but enemies.
Since they were enemies, Wan Wu Yi had no reason to curry favor with him, and proving his innocence was certainly not for his benefit. There must be another motive!
"Could it be that Wan Wu Yi is in a bad situation right now, and thus wants to use this method to win you over, Big Brother, and make you stand on the same front as him, thereby changing the situation? " Xiang Chuan asked.
Hearing this, Yang Haoran gently shook his head, directly refuting Xiang Chuan's speculation.
Although he had considered that possibility, a brief re-evaluation led him to reject the notion. While it was true that Wan Wu Yi's side was currently at a disadvantage, and Wan Wu Yi himself was constantly dodging the combined assaults of several experts, without even a chance to retaliate, Wan Wu Yi's face showed no trace of anxiety. Instead, he exuded an air of confidence. This was why Yang Haoran believed that the primary purpose of Wan Wu Yi's words at this moment was unlikely to be to win him over.
"Heh heh, Wan Wu Yi, it seems your relationship with Yang Haoran isn't shallow, otherwise, why would you be so eager to prove his innocence? If you claim the two of you aren't in league, who would believe that?"
The Big Sister scoffed. Wan Wu Yi's attempt to prove Yang Haoran's innocence had, instead, revealed an opportunity to her. She knew well that her previous words hadn't convinced many, but now that she had found a chance to land another blow, the number of people who believed her would surely increase.
"Haha, you stinking bitch! I know you're at odds with the Underworld Office, so you're racking your brains to get Yang Haoran killed and wipe out the Gu Mo City Underworld Office. But it doesn't matter what you think, because in my eyes, all of you are dead men, all of you are puppets—whether it's you, or Yang Haoran, it's all the same!"
Wan Wu Yi burst into laughter. His words caused the Big Sister's brow to furrow slightly, while the expressions of people from other factions varied, though most had very ugly looks on their faces.
As for Yang Haoran, who stood watching the show from a distance, upon hearing Wan Wu Yi's words, his faint smile remained, but compared to before, it had dimmed slightly.
"Heh heh, Wan Wu Yi, you're truly audacious. This battle is about to end soon, yet you still dare to utter such words without knowing death's embrace. I think you're truly insane!"
A Black Talisman Master coldly addressed Wan Wu Yi, his attacks growing fiercer. He uttered those words because he had the entire battle's situation clearly in his sights. At present, nearly half of Wan Wu Yi's subordinates were dead, the Corpse King was suppressed under the continuous assaults of the crowd, and Wan Wu Yi himself was in a passive position, able only to dodge under the combined attacks of their several individuals, without even a chance to retaliate. In such a situation, with Wan Wu Yi spouting such ruthless threats, the Black Talisman Master naturally scoffed, believing Wan Wu Yi to be truly mad and utterly incapable of believing his arrogant claims.
"Hahahahaha, whether I'm truly insane or not, you'll find out in a moment!"
Wan Wu Yi burst into laughter. With a flicker, he dodged the Big Sister and the others' attacks, then suddenly cried out to the sky.
"You bitches of the Holy Mother Cult! If you still don't show yourselves, then today, Gu Mo City will run red with blood. Are you sure you want to keep hiding in the shadows like timid turtles? Watching life after life perish by my hand, won't your hearts feel any guilt?"
Wan Wu Yi's voice resounded over Gu Mo City. Enhanced by his power, his words spread to every corner of Gu Mo City, naturally reaching the Holy Mother Temple within Gu Mo City as well.
At this moment, all the major factions were gathered at the Ancient Demon Palace, but only the Holy Mother Cult was conspicuously absent. Wan Wu Yi's words were clearly aimed at them!
As these words fell, the space in the Ancient Demon Palace area showed no fluctuations. The Holy Mother Cult members did not appear simply because of Wan Wu Yi's provocations.
Wan Wu Yi did not give up. As he continued to dodge the attacks of several individuals, he once again cried out to the sky.
"Normally, you're always spouting your damned doctrines, constantly trying to stop others from killing. Why aren't you showing yourselves today? Is it because the scene is too grand, and you're worried you can't control it?"
This time, as Wan Wu Yi's words fell, a region directly above the Ancient Demon Palace reacted violently. The space rippled intensely, and then several spatial rifts appeared. Figures stepped out of these spatial rifts, and leading them was none other than Xia Xinger, the Saint of the Gu Mo City Holy Mother Cult. Beside Xia Xinger stood Zuo Meng, her second-in-command.
Xia Xinger remained as always, her gaze as calm as still water. Even after Wan Wu Yi's extremely unpleasant words, her eyes remained like a tranquil lake, showing not the slightest ripple of emotion.
However, Zuo Meng, who stood beside her, presented a stark contrast. Although her expression was obscured by her veil, her slightly furrowed brow and angry eyes clearly indicated that her mood was far from pleasant, forming a sharp contrast with the calm Xia Xinger beside her.
"Hahahahaha, you've finally deigned to show yourselves! I've been waiting for you for so long, it was truly agonizing. I was only trying my luck, never expecting you'd actually come. This is truly fantastic!"
"Even if you hadn't yelled, we would have appeared anyway, to prevent this slaughter from continuing as much as possible."
Xia Xinger said to Wan Wu Yi, her tone as calm as her gaze, without the slightest ripple.
"Prevent? Haha, let me tell you the truth without fear: you don't possess that strength. Forgive my directness, but what I say is absolutely the truth. Do you know why I've continuously dodged the attacks of these idiots without retaliating? Heh heh, it's not because I lack the power, but because I didn't want to reveal my true strength before you appeared, lest I scare you away!"
