As soon as Qi Yuan said this, everyone present fell silent without exception.
“No, I don’t agree. Master, this is too risky!” Yao Qingyi looked at Qi Yuan worriedly.
Qi Yuan returned to her usual calm appearance and said calmly, “It’s alright. Before completely cutting off the connection between humans and the ghost race, I’ll think of a way to leave myself an escape path. If it goes smoothly, I can also leave the ghost race at the last moment and return to the mortal world.”
“But if you fail, even if you block the connection, you will still be locked here and won’t be able to leave for the rest of your life. If that’s the case, do you think Dugu Aoyun and the entire ghost race will let you off easily?” Huo Junhan’s gaze swept over, and he stared at Qi Yuan as he questioned.
Shen Yaowei only thought about not being able to successfully escape after Qi Yuan blocked the connection and felt her heart skip a beat.
If Qi Yuan was really unlucky at that time, he would have to face the entire ghost race. Even a mouthful of saliva from each of them was enough to drown him alive!
In a sense, the plan Qi Yuan mentioned was no different from suicide.
Under everyone’s gaze, Qi Yuan looked straight at Huo Junhan in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. “This is the only way for us now. If we want to completely close the connection, we need the support of the two great divine weapons. The spiritual power needed to activate the divine weapons is extremely huge. Only I can do it here. Therefore, it’s inevitable that I stay. As the Imperial Preceptor, it’s my responsibility to care about the common people. I need to complete my mission, and protecting your safety and letting you leave this place successfully is also one of my missions. I can’t let any disciples sacrifice themselves for nothing.”
“Master…!” Yao Qingyi’s face was pale. She looked at Qi Yuan with a wavering gaze.
Shen Yaowei looked at Qi Yuan with more admiration.
In fact, Qi Yuan knew very well what Junhan said.
However, once the ghost race army went to the human world, the people would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering. For the stability of the human world, even if he had to sacrifice himself in the end, he would do it without hesitation.
In Qi Yuan’s opinion, the righteousness of the world had long been more important than his own life.
Shen Yaowei’s gaze swept across Qi Yuan and Huo Junhan’s faces.
Seeing that the two of them had the same light-colored eyes, what Dugu Aoyuun and Huo Junhan said last night appeared in Shen Yaowei’s mind.
At that time, Dugu Aoyun’s eyes were filled with disgust as he mentioned Junhan’s mother.
He said that the daughter he originally had high hopes for was actually disappointing and coveted a human man.
Obviously, Dugu Aoyun regarded his daughter’s actions as a disgrace, so he had to let Junhan consume the Forgetting Love Water to avoid the same thing from happening.
As for who the human man who was coveted by Junhan’s mother was, it was self-evident.
Not knowing how much love and hate were involved, Shen Yaowei fell into deep thought.
The air was filled with seriousness. Huo Junhan, who had been silent, suddenly chuckled.
“Unfortunately, I’m not your disciple, let alone someone from the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, and there’s no need for me to listen to your commands.”
The determination in Qi Yuan’s eyes instantly wavered. “Your Highness, you can’t joke with your life.”
Huo Junhan didn’t think much of it. He narrowed his eyes and locked his gaze on Qi Yuan.. “Then if I insist on it today, what can Imperial Preceptor do to me?”
