Chapter 650: 363: Current Situation and Dilemma_3
As soon as he returned,
he felt as if his head was about to split open from the pain.
The illusory space he had been in was constructed by the three leaders’ minds.
Time passed very slowly within it.
Although it seemed that Lu Yang had been there for a long time, it was only a moment in the real world.
Of course,
there were both pros and cons to this.
His strength was far inferior to that of the three leaders, and his mental speed was even more so.
Forcing himself to synchronize with their speed at his current level
resulted in his splitting headache.
“Has the meeting ended?”
At this moment,
a voice came from the communicator again.
“Mmm.”
Lu Yang replied while rubbing his temples.
“Then quickly wrap up things on your end.”
When the communicator stopped emitting light,
the headache began to ease a little.
Lu Yang looked down at his hand.
In his palm, the light sphere Zuo Wei had given him was quietly floating.
By touching this sphere,
he could summon a small team to rescue Chen Sheng.
However…
He remembered what Zuo Wei had said before leaving,
and the attitudes of the other two leaders.
Was Chen Sheng really that important?
At this moment,
Lu Yang couldn’t help but doubt his own judgment.
Perhaps Chen Sheng’s indispensability was only due to his own limited perspective.
In the eyes of those great powers,
Chen Sheng might just be one of many geniuses.
Even if he joined the Resistance Army, he might not necessarily grow strong.
If they could save Chen Sheng and he joined,
then that would be a win-win situation.
But what if,
Chen Sheng chose to live or die with his own world?
Or, thinking that he could withstand the upcoming subordinates, he chose to strike out on his own?
If they dispatched the team and failed to achieve what they wanted, it would be a waste of the Resistance Army’s resources.
It would inevitably upset the three leaders.
This was a situation Lu Yang didn’t want to see.
After all,
compared to Chen Sheng,
the Resistance Army and his own future were obviously more important to Lu Yang.
He was willing to make a promise in advance and invite Chen Sheng to join them.
In addition to seeing Chen Sheng’s potential, he was also reluctant to see his efforts in that world for tens of thousands of years go to waste.
But were these factors…important?
Should he risk his own future to gamble on an uncertain outcome?
Lu Yang didn’t know.
In his mind, he recalled the look in Zuo Wei’s eyes not long ago,
and the somewhat cold and unfamiliar words.
He,
didn’t want to disappoint him.
But Chen Sheng,
might be willing to join, right?
During the brief moment of contemplation,
Lu Yang felt as if his heart was in a mess and found it difficult to make up his mind.
At this time,
as if he had sensed something,
his scattered thoughts returned to his eyes,
no longer focused on the light sphere in his hand.
Lu Yang slowly looked up toward the outside of the temple.
What should have been a world shrouded in darkness,
was now,
filled with a strange light.
“Forget it.”
“Let’s resolve this situation first.”
He muttered to himself,
and walked out of the temple.
Unbeknownst to him,
the area was surrounded by Daoists in Azure Cloud robes.
Every one of them had bloodthirsty, crimson eyes,
and their gazes on Lu Yang seemed as if they were looking at a rare delicacy of the mortal world.
“You don’t look surprised.”
A voice came from above him.
Lu Yang looked up emotionlessly and saw an elder.
The man’s attire was modern in style, completely different from the others around him.
This was the missing Resistance Army member.
“A native intelligent lifeform managed to steal my communicator.”
“I don’t believe that there wasn’t some other force involved.”
Lu Yang’s body slowly ascended,
“But I am curious.”
“Why didn’t you take the opportunity to attack me when I was distracted, instead choosing to do this?”
He arrived in front of the elder,
and golden flames gradually ignited on Lu Yang’s body.
In response to his question,
the elder chuckled.
“If I hadn’t done so,”
“how else would I be able to…draw you in?”
As his words fell,
the crimson light rose,
and instantly seized the entire sky.
