Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 735 - 381: Only One Can Live—You or the Great Wall_3

Zhang Ze, "Sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to get a bit closer because I heard from Yuqing that you plan to blow up this White Emperor City."

Sister Wang shook her head, "You don't have to apologize. Hearing this name does make me quite happy. After my father, you, and Chen Xing left, I haven't heard anyone call me that in a long time."

Chen Xing is the name of the first Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.

Perhaps recalling old friends, Sister Wang sighed and then went straight to the point.

"What would you like to ask?"

Zhang Ze, "Why blow up White Emperor City, and what's going on with the Northern Wall?"

"Three reasons." Sister Wang looked into Zhang Ze's eyes and said, "First, because the transformation of the Demon Race has been completed, there's no need for the Northern Wall anymore."

Sister Wang waved her hand, and spiritual qi converged, revealing a more detailed map of the Northern Territory than Yuqing had shown.

"The Great Wall has reached its limit. According to the White Emperor's calculations, if it continues, it will affect the Central Continent."

The map of the Extreme North Icefield was magnified, and Zhang Ze saw a massive pit, with White Emperor City and six other unnamed cities encircling the Ice Abyss.

A pale blue icy mist was swirling in the pit.

"Maintaining the array requires a large amount of energy, and the seven cities, including White Emperor City, must move once every ten years to ensure the smooth operation of the array and the endless Earth Vein Power."

"However, since last year, some issues have arisen with the earth veins of the Four Continents. Remember the time before the Qinghe Association when the Primordial Creatures of the East Continent awoke? That was a sign.

"I went to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to discuss the Teleportation Technique with you to prepare for future changes.

"But unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. The Hundred Demons Sect suddenly connected all the earth veins of the East Continent. This might be good for you, but for me and the White Emperor, it's a disaster."

"The Longevity Technique comes with a price. With issues in the earth veins, not only the Demon Race but also the White Emperor and I will have problems."

"To prevent things from worsening... Well, I did cover it up for quite some time, but in the end, the White Emperor and I determined the solution was to blow up the Northern Wall early. Although there will be some costs, it's better than the North becoming the Central Continent."

"As for the second reason..." Wang Siwen sat down in the chair, placing her beautiful large tail on herself, gently stroking it.

"I'm tired. Both the White Emperor and I are tired. Living forever and carrying the secrets of the Demon Race is exhausting.

"The conflict between the path of the Human Race and the Demon Race was a trick by the White Emperor and me to keep the cultivators away from here."

"But no wall is impenetrable, and secrets always leak out. There's never a shortage of risk-takers."

"The first leak destroyed the old White Emperor City."

"The second leak caused a war between the East and West, and the Central Continent was destroyed.

"Now it's the third leak. Although it was peacefully resolved, what about the fourth or the fifth... I don't know.

"So it's better to end it all. When redemption becomes a curse, then some things don't need to exist anymore.

"Originally, after White Emperor City disappeared, the entire Northern Great Array would be interrupted by me. Yuqing would find the notes I left and begin to solve the path issues. It might take some time, but it would be easier than now.

"By then, the Demon Race can go wherever they want, and those people in the North can come as they please."

Listening to Sister Wang, Zhang Ze blinked, seemingly pondering something.

"And what is the third thing?" Zhang Ze took a sip from a thermos cup he pulled from his bosom.

After all, the doctor said he should drink more hot water.

Sister Wang looked at Zhang Ze, "The third reason is if the wall isn't blown up, you'll die.

"The Reincarnation Method comes at a cost. Due to negligence and some accidents from the White Emperor and me, there are some issues with your body. Only one can survive between the Northern Wall and you."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Ze couldn't help but spray out a mouthful of hot water, but it was blocked by a wall of qi before it hit Wang Siwen.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Ze thought he hadn't heard correctly, so he asked again.

He had no interest in starring as a terminally ill male lead in a Korean drama.

There's no reason why he just felt dizzy this afternoon and received a critical illness notice at night, right?

"Your body has issues, and you're dying." Sister Wang looked sad.

After receiving Sister Wang's second confirmation, Zhang Ze cautiously asked, "How much longer can I live? I won't be kicking the bucket tomorrow, right?"

"No, you should have no problem living for another five hundred years." Wang Siwen shook her head sadly.

Zhang Ze, "..."

'Scared the hell out of me, turns out I still have five hundred years left. I really can't get along with these long-lived monsters!'

Lately, it's been the same chatting with that old turtle Zhu Luo. He always says he won't make it, but when asked when to eat the feast, he says to wait a bit more, another three to five thousand years.

Zhang Ze just feels the old man is showing off.

However, after relaxing, Zhang Ze took another sip from his thermos and suddenly felt something was off. He calculated using his fingers.

'I'm considered half a nascent soul now. My lifespan should be upwards of a thousand years... who stole my other five hundred plus years?'

"What do I have to do with the Northern Wall?" Zhang Ze asked.

"That starts with the Star God," Sister Wang said.

Hearing this, something that had just peeked out from Zhang Ze's body hurriedly shrank back.

"This guy? What exactly is going on?" Zhang Ze reached out and pulled it out, turning it over in his hand.

Sister Wang was about to speak but suddenly stopped. Her wolf ears on top perked up, listening attentively, then looked at Zhang Ze.

"The White Emperor has awakened, and she wants to see you."
