Listening to Liu Buli's provocative words, the man did not show any anger or displeasure. Instead, he curled the corner of his mouth and said, "I admit that this time, you have indeed performed much better than I imagined. I originally thought you were bound to die like this, but it's all because your disciple is too annoying. If it weren't for him, you would have definitely died."
Liu Buli shrugged.
He had no intention of refuting the man's words.
Because what the man said was indeed true.
If it weren't for Lu Wuming, he himself would never have realized that something was wrong with that world. From a certain perspective, the Heavenly Dao had made that world too perfect. So perfect that in just one month, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to discover the hidden loopholes on his own.
But what did it matter?
Thinking of that silly dog, who had risked his life to find him in his consciousness, Liu Buli couldn't help but curl his lips again. Looking at the man in front of him, his attitude returned to its usual calm and indifference.
A smile filled with joy on his face, Liu Buli said, "What you said is indeed true, but you also got one thing wrong. Wherever I am, my disciple will be there. So, when you were considering this initially, you didn't put us together, and that's where you went wrong. Let alone another world, even if I went to the underworld, he would follow me. You wouldn't understand because you've never met someone this important."
His reply was full of provocation.
But the other party clearly didn't care.
Just as Liu Buli was full of confidence, the other party seemed to possess the same confidence.
After another exchange of glances, the man returned Liu Buli a nonchalant smile and said, "It doesn't matter what you say. I admit I was wrong this time. However, I have understood one thing: even the Heavenly Dao is not on your side. How much chance of winning do you think your subsequent arrangements have?"
"It doesn't matter if I don't have any plans. Life isn't a probability game. If the Heavenly Dao can lose to me once, it can lose to me a second time. And I am also prepared to win, so just wait and see."
As he finished speaking, Liu Buli had already unleashed his spiritual energy towards the man. In fact, because they shared the same body, there wasn't much difference between them in terms of spiritual energy. However, in terms of the most important mental energy required by the soul, Liu Buli was far superior to the man.
Therefore, to protect his soul from being harmed, the man dared not receive Liu Buli's attack. It was precisely because of this that the illusion was broken much more easily than expected.
The blood mist in front of him became thicker and thicker, but this time, Liu Buli no longer felt the initial fear.
It was more like bathing in his own world, and he quietly felt everything around him. Then, as the blood mist completely submerged him, he obediently closed his eyes.
After a moment of silence, when he felt everything around him turn into nothingness, and only the warmth transmitted from his palm became clearer, Liu Buli reopened his eyes.
And just as he had expected.
The first thing he saw, at the closest position to him, was Lu Wuming's face filled with anxiety.
The moment their eyes met, Lu Wuming froze. Without giving Liu Buli a chance to speak, his eyes reddened, and he reached out to pull Liu Buli into a tight embrace.
Liu Buli knew that he had been unconscious for too long this time, so it was natural for their big dog to be scared.
Therefore, he didn't rush to say any comforting words, but simply let the other party hold him. After a long time, when Lu Wuming's grip slightly loosened, Liu Buli reached out and gently patted his head, then said with a smile, "Wuming, I really have to thank you properly this time. If you hadn't come to find me, I might not have been able to return."
"Don't say such scary things!"
Lu Wuming interrupted Liu Buli with red eyes. The tension on his face had not yet dissipated, and coupled with his current expression, he truly looked like a big dog who had been bullied and was full of grievances.
Liu Buli knew he should be a little more serious at this moment, but seeing the other party's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh. Patting Lu Wuming's shoulder, Liu Buli turned to look to the side. Exchanging glances with Shen Muzhi and You Siqi, he nodded earnestly and said, "I have to thank you all this time as well. Shen Muzhi, you've saved my life again."
Liu Buli was a smart person.
And not only was he smart, but he also understood his disciple exceptionally well.
Therefore, he knew very well that it would be absolutely impossible for Lu Wuming alone to find a way to rescue him.
Shen Muzhi kept playing the role of his savior, making him unsure of how to thank him.
However, Shen Muzhi clearly didn't care much about this.
Instead, after staring at the stone for a while, he smiled and said, "It's fine. You've helped us test it. This stone can indeed connect these two worlds."
