407: I don't believe it.

Kong Ling's attitude was exceptionally firm; as long as one of the three said "the worst that could happen is death," he would not hesitate to join forces with General Wu by his side to immediately slay the five Saint Kings before them and expend all his effort to utterly destroy the Yuan Ling Universe.

This was a decision Kong Ling had secretly made deep within his heart, allowing for no compromise whatsoever.

Yuan Yi bowed slightly, cupped his hands toward Kong Ling, and said in a calm tone:

"The five of us swearing loyalty is not a big deal in itself, but regarding the matter of Xun Xiuyuan, we truly cannot make the decision. If he never returns, we cannot simply wait indefinitely, can we?"

Although Yuan Yi's words were tactful, his objective was very clear: to stall for as much time as possible to save his own life and the lives of the others.

He knew in his heart that since Jiu You and True Person Yuan Ling had successfully escaped, there was still a glimmer of hope for the Yuan Ling Universe. Going head-to-head with Kong Ling at this moment would bring no benefit and would only result in everyone throwing their lives away for nothing.

Hearing Yuan Yi's words, Mortal World turned to look at him, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

However, years of working and living together made him know Yuan Yi's character well; he knew Yuan Yi would never betray the Yuan Ling Universe.

Qing Hui's eyes flickered as if she were contemplating something, but she ultimately chose to remain silent and spoke no more.

Seeing that someone had finally softened, Kong Ling's expression eased slightly, but his tone still carried a hint of threat as he said coldly:

"Good, at least there is one sensible person. I had already decided that if you didn't agree to my terms, I would not hesitate to slay the five of you first and then completely destroy the Yuan Ling Universe. Believe me, I can do it!"

Kong Ling's words were filled with an unquestionable decisiveness, clearly intending to use forceful means to coerce the five Saint Kings into submission.

Just as his voice fell, an ethereal and mysterious voice slowly rang out in everyone's ears—no, to be precise, it echoed throughout the vast base of the entire Yuan Ling Universe.

That voice seemed to have transmigrated through the endless Void Realm, carrying an irresistible majesty.

"I don't believe it. Why don't you try and see!"

These eight words, eight simple words, exploded in everyone's minds like thunder, shaking their souls and making it impossible to calm down for a long time.

Yuan Yi's face instantly froze, as if struck in the depths of his soul by this sudden voice, and he finally couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

He had originally advised Jiu You to take True Person Yuan Ling and avoid the enemy's brunt for a while, but clearly, they had not followed his suggestion and had returned anyway.

Expressions of disbelief appeared on the faces of Qing Hui, Mortal World, and Hong Yu. They were all too familiar with this voice; it was the voice of the Sect Master of the Yuan Ling Sect—True Person Yuan Ling.

All three stared at the Void Realm before them in shock, as if trying to discern something from that nothingness.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, a young and slightly provocative voice followed: "I don't believe it either. Are you really that impressive?"

This voice was full of playfulness, as if challenging some sort of authority.

After this voice ceased, Kong Ling was about to speak when he was abruptly interrupted by a burst of wild and unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha, I'd like to see just how fierce the idiots of the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance really are."

That laughter was filled with disdain and mockery, as if he didn't care about the so-called Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance at all.

As the laughter died down, the sealed space meticulously arranged by General Wu was violently torn open by a pair of giant, powerful hands.

In terms of the level of comprehension of the Law of Space alone, even a Seven-System expert like General Wu still could not be compared to Jiu You.

Therefore, General Wu's spatial seal appeared so fragile before Jiu You, easily torn into fragments.

An arrogant and domineering Jiu You stood before the two of them, his gaze coldly sweeping over Kong Ling and General Wu.

The moment Mortal World saw Jiu You, tears quietly slid down their cheeks, their eyes filled with tenderness and longing as they looked at the seemingly scruffy old man.

However, Kong Ling and General Wu now looked grave, their eyes fixed on the spatial rift torn by Jiu You, where two people were standing: True Person Yuan Ling and Xun Xiuyuan.

True Person Yuan Ling's eyes were fierce as he said coldly, "I'd like to see exactly how the two of you intend to destroy my Yuan Ling Universe."

Just as he spoke, everyone felt the world spinning as if the entire world had been overturned in an instant.

A total of ten people were instantaneously teleported through space by a powerful force in the blink of an eye.

When the spatial transition ended, everyone was astonished to find themselves in the vast Void Realm, far away from the Yuan Ling Universe's base.

This move by True Person Yuan Ling gave Kong Ling a start.

Is this something a Seven-System Saint King can do?

Even he, a Seven-System Saint King himself, had been teleported here without any awareness? Kong Ling's heart was filled with shock and doubt.

General Wu's expression was completely different from Kong Ling's; his eyes were filled with excitement and Battle Intent as he looked at True Person Yuan Ling, as if he had seen a captivating beauty.

General Wu did not hesitate to draw his weapon and, with a flash of his body, charged straight at True Person Yuan Ling.

The Saint Kings of the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance's Combat Department were all specially trained humanoid combat weapons; their combat strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Seven-System Saint King.

At this moment, a world-shaking duel was about to unfold in this Void Realm.

Although Kong Ling was also a Seven-System expert and had even reached the Seven-System Peak Realm, his combat strength was at most on par with General Wu's, making it difficult to gain an absolute advantage.

Seeing General Wu charging over aggressively, Xun Xiuyuan's face remained leisurely as he spoke softly:

"Big guy, I'll play with you properly today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly drew his weapon and engaged in a fierce battle with General Wu, the two clashing instantly.

Jiu You had originally planned to step forward to help, but Xun Xiuyuan beat him to it and intercepted the opponent.

Only now did Kong Ling finally turn his attention to Xun Xiuyuan. This person in the Great Saint Realm actually dared to duel General Wu, who was known for his ferocity in the Combat Department. Moreover, challenging a Seven-System Saint King as a Great Saint—both his courage and strength shocked Kong Ling.

Kong Ling secretly speculated that the strong individual daring to challenge was likely his target for this mission—Xun Xiuyuan.

Watching Xun Xiuyuan and General Wu trade blows in a deadlock, Kong Ling couldn't help but turn to look at True Person Yuan Ling, only to find the other man unfathomable and elusive.

Facing such a powerful opponent, a hint of retreat involuntarily surfaced in Kong Ling's mind.

He looked at True Person Yuan Ling, trying to ease the atmosphere: "I am Kong Ling, the vice president of the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Is there some misunderstanding here? Perhaps we can sit down and have a good talk."

However, True Person Yuan Ling only nodded with a smile, his eyes beaming, but his tone carried a bit of mockery and disdain: "Misunderstand your mother. Once you're dead, I'll forgive you."

Before his voice had even faded, he had already moved, launching a fierce attack on Kong Ling.

Jiu You, watching from the side, felt his blood boiling. He called out loudly, "What are we still doing here watching the show? Everyone, charge together!"

As expected of a notorious old rogue, whenever there was an opportunity, he would never choose a duel. Instead, he would unhesitatingly choose to gang up on the enemy, striving to end the battle as quickly as possible!
