Xue Muyao paused for a moment, her gaze meeting Yun Lintian's.
"I admit defeat," she said, her voice filled with newfound respect.
"You can kill me now," Xue Muyao said calmly, her voice devoid of fear. "But I have one request."
Yun Lintian raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
Xue Muyao's expression turned serious. "My people, the people of the Endless Snow Kingdom, they are innocent. They were forced to submit to the Lord of Chaos. I ask you, when the time comes, to spare them. Protect them from the chaos that is to come."
Yun Lintian looked at her for a moment, his eyes searching hers. He could see the sincerity in her plea, the genuine concern for her people.
He shook his head. "I have no intention of killing you. I understand your situation, the difficult choices you had to make. And I will not harm your people. I give you my word."
Xue Muyao's eyes widened slightly. She had not expected this, his compassion, his understanding. She had been prepared to die, to sacrifice herself for her people. But he was offering her a different path, a path of redemption.
"You are... too kind," she said, her voice barely a whisper. "Too softhearted."
"Perhaps," Yun Lintian said with a faint smile. "But kindness is not a weakness. It is a strength."
Xue Muyao looked at him for a long moment, her eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and concern.
"You should be more decisive," she said, her voice regaining its usual firmness. "More ruthless. In this world, kindness can be a weakness, a fatal flaw. Do not let your compassion blind you to the dangers that lie ahead."
Yun Lintian nodded, acknowledging her words. He knew she was right, that the path he had chosen was fraught with danger, that his compassion could be exploited, his kindness used against him.
"You're right, but I have my own judgment," he said calmly. "I'm not a maniac who goes around killing everyone in front of me."
Yun Lintian paused for a moment and asked, "How much do you know about this place? Why did they keep sending people to delay me?"
Yun Lintian shook his head and said, "We can't fully trust her, but we can use this chance to test her real attitude. Even if she is concealing her true intentions, she would definitely rescue everyone here to make herself trustworthy."
Yun Qianxue took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said softly, "It's really hard to believe that the little boy back then has grown up to be a scheming young man."
Yun Lintian chuckled and said, "Let's go."
He waved his hand and brought everyone into the air, rushing towards the heart of the Ancient Battlefield.

Somewhere in the northern part of the Ancient Battlefield, Tang Zhen and Dian Lun looked at the other Chaos Knights busy digging the ground below. They had finally located the core of the Ancient Battlefield, and all that was left was to take it away and refine it. "Hmm?" Dian Lun suddenly frowned as he received a message from his subordinate.
"Let me guess," Tang Zhen said with a smile. "Xue Muyao has been defeated?"
Dian Lun glanced at him and said calmly, "More precisely, she conceded on purpose."
Tang Zhen chuckled. "It seems she is joking with her people's lives."
Dian Lun shook his head and said, "She is not that stupid. Yun Lintian has promised her to protect her people."
"Oh?" Tang Zhen raised his brow slightly. "Did she really think he has the ability?"
"He can indeed do it," Dian Lun said in a deep voice. "From the previous battles, he has displayed various degrees of his strength. Even now, we have no idea what his true strength really is. He seems capable of doing everything. I can only say that Yun Wushuang has raised
him well."
Tang Zhen's expression turned serious when he heard Yun Wushuang's name. "I always feel that we have been toyed with by her all this time. Otherwise, Yun Lintian wouldn't have a chance to grow to this level under our lord's nose."
Dian Lun shook his head and said, "She's an original Primordial God, after all. None of them
are ordinary."@@@@
