The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1207 - 1206: The Dark World

"I think I know who it is."Tang Rao's expression was indifferent. In this matter, he was careless, and angry enough to want to kill.

The highest level of the array, yet still couldn't fend off someone with intent.

"Who?"

Qin Qing asked.

"You might not know, but the person behind Leng Pengfei and Li Tao could also be the murderer of Li Qi Qi."

Tang Rao wasn't stupid; he figured out the key points quickly.

For instance, when Leng Pengfei and Tang Rao had a quarrel, and even when Leng Pengfei wanted to kill Tang Rao, the mysterious person took Leng Pengfei away. When Li Tao had a falling out with Tang Rao, Li Tao's body was also taken away by the mysterious person. Then thinking of Tang Rao and Li Qi Qi today, perhaps because Li Qi Qi didn't comply with the mysterious person, the mysterious person killed Li Qi Qi to silence her.

Once he understood the key point, Tang Rao felt as clear as a mirror inside.

"But we don't even know who that person is; isn't finding them going to be very difficult?"

Fang Jinxiu went to the Divine Realm and was immediately scared by the murder case. Plus, no one could guess Tang Rao's thoughts about Li Qi Qi, so Fang Jinxiu naturally comforted Tang Rao not to overthink and to move on from this matter soon.

"Why did Li Qi Qi die? Because she didn't yield. For this, I will give her a proper burial."

This was Tang Rao's promise; as long as Li Qi Qi deserved it, even if she died, he would do right by Li Qi Qi and her father.

"Whatever you say."

Fang Jinxiu tried to comfort Tang Rao, but seeing his look of despair, Fang Jinxiu felt a chill in his heart.

Tang Rao went back to his room alone and had a wild fight in his Little World. After he was done, he noticed the Purple Crystal was fleeing like crazy, almost driven insane from fear.

"Tang Rao's gone mad, Tang Rao's gone mad."

The Purple Crystal shivered, as Tang Rao had already vented his anger by then.

"I'm not mad, you're the one who's mad."

Tang Rao retorted back to the Purple Crystal that cursed him.

"Tang Rao, who hurt you? Why is your resentment so heavy that even I was scared out of it by your resentment?"

Jixing had just come out and was accidentally hurt by Tang Rao. Learning from this, he stood aside watching Tang Rao vent before coming over.

"Why are you coming out now? You didn't come out when you were supposed to. Now that you're out, what's the point?"

Tang Rao always felt Jixing was useless in this regard.

"Tang Rao, you can't say that. Look how cute I am, how nice it is to chat and laugh with you. In times when you're hurt and disappointed, having me to talk with you is a blessing, something most people could only dream of."

A blessing? Tang Rao didn't see it that way; if it really was a blessing, he'd rather not have it.

"Honestly, I understand why you're angry and troubled, but I can't tell you yet. Once your power reaches a certain level, I can tell you everything the master entrusted to me."

Jixing was in turmoil, bottling something up in his heart.

"Say it or leave."

Choosing this time to hold back, challenging Tang Rao's authority, Tang Rao was not about to give Jixing any face.

Jixing looked distressed; he didn't want to speak, but his uncontrollable mouth during a moment of urgency got him into this mess.

"Master said to wait until you become a High God to tell you about that person's existence. Since that person is already here, I don't think telling you in advance is a bad thing either."

Jixing said.

"The one who killed Li Qi Qi was likely the Black Demon. The Black Demon was once restrained, never able to personally eliminate the inheritors of the divine position. You are the final candidate, but over the years, everyone chosen as Chief God was eliminated by someone hired by the Black Demon. If you get eliminated too, the whole Divine Realm would fall into darkness, and the Black Demon would seize the position of Chief God, and it would be game over for all of us."

Wherever the Black Demon goes, justice disappears. His existence is like a virus. Without the original Chief God's constraint, how could the Black Demon not act himself and witness Tang Rao and his kind thrive?

"Is there such a thing? You surely know the Black Demon's current strength. Hurry and tell me about it."

Tang Rao was itching to kill the Black Demon right now, but being able to easily enter and exit the array without any trouble meant the Black Demon's level must be very high.

"If my guess is right, the Black Demon is now a High God."

A High God?

Tang Rao nearly fainted. He had seen few Mid Gods, and now a High God? No way, tangling with such a person, without any restraints involved, Tang Rao was no match at all, right?

"Jixing, did you bring me to the Divine Realm to have me fight a High God or to do something grand?"

Like having Tang Rao kill a High God?

"Tang Rao, I truly have no ill intention against you. I know you surely can't defeat the Black Demon now, but you can in the future. With your power, are you really afraid of a Black Demon?"

Tang Rao didn't want to hear Jixing's explanation. Ultimately, it seemed Jixing wanted Tang Rao to fight the Black Demon.

Just because Tang Rao was the chosen one?

Does it mean that as a commoner chosen to be Emperor, to truly become Emperor, you must take action, compete against evil forces, and if you fail, you never get another chance? But if you succeed, then you become the person above all others.

No matter how Tang Rao calculated, it seemed this cost and risk were too high and unsuitable for his current situation.

"Choose someone else. It doesn't matter if you say I'm not fit."

Tang Rao thought to himself, he could fight the Black Demon, no problem, once his strength increased, but what then? If one day, Tang Rao's entire family moved to the Divine Realm, and the Black Demon came every now and then to kill one, treating Tang Rao's place like a practice ground?

"No way, once a candidate is chosen, it can't be changed, unless you die, your mission remains."

Tang Rao would not be foolish enough to think about dying just to relinquish this mission.

"Then why did your master choose me? When choosing me, what assurance could he offer that my family would be safe?"

Tang Rao was speaking realistically; he could help with things and wasn't even asking for rewards, but without basic assurances, what was the point?

"There is, you didn't mention it, so I forgot."

Jixing seemed like someone with early dementia; when others brought up a subject, he could remember it, but couldn't recall it on his own.

"What method?"

Something more powerful than an array that could protect his family?

"The master once left a halo on me. I forgot the exact location. As long as the halo is placed above the Kao Shan Sect, no one from the Black Demon's side can ever enter."
