Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1898: Chapter 1890: Another Choice

From the moment of his arrival, shock after shock came without mercy.

Wei Wuyin's presence was domineering, majestic, and tyrannical as he exuded a concise storm of elegance, force, authority, and change upon every event he decided to involve himself in. Despite the mysteries surrounding him that were continuously excavated and exposed, his depth remained unknown and unpredictable.

Even to this day, despite knowing that the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint could access six distinct auras of Laws, not a single person here suspected that he had not one but two Major Authorities, of which one was the Law of Space. Relying on this level of authority, the spatial arts executed by the surrounding Supreme Sages were as flimsy as a piece of paper, carrying no weight or strength before his own authority.

They all understood one thing: If Wei Wuyin desired to extricate Su Yi from this situation, none of them could stop him without sufficient preparation.

Who was this man?!

"Anything."

Yue Baoyue's heart furiously pounded within her chest as the words echoed out into her soul, etching themselves within her mind. Her feelings were unbearably complex, twisted by confusion and splashed by guilt. She didn't dare to look toward Su Yi, knowing that she had given a free pass to the man who desired her.

Her mind flashed with vivid sensual images of that tall, flawlessly built man who exuded raw, pure, and unparalleled masculine energy holding her, staring into her eyes as she accepted his strong embrace of this type of man. The type to dominate any room he enters. The type that guided the thoughts and fates of all around him. The type that snatched what he wanted, whether they were from the depths of Hell, the jaws of divinities, or beyond the heavens.

Her body felt hot.

Wei Wuyin gazed at her from afar, yet the distance between them felt non-existent. It seemed that her fate was unable to decouple from his, their karmic ties intimately intertwined. Or maybe, his overt actions and feelings were continuously reinforcing such ties, from the day he saved her during the game of Mystics to now.

Su Yi's heart felt equally, if not more complex. However, he couldn't quite allow his mood to shift. Despite Wei Wuyin's actions of canceling the Alchemic Edict using vague galactic authority and direct dispersal of the edict using his Alchemic Stars, that wouldn't halt those who sought his secrets. He was injured, exhausted, and out in the open.

Meanwhile, the Dao Enforcers of the Utmost Zeniths Towers were all tongue-tied and shaken to their cores. They had seen Alchemic Edicts forcefully dispersed before, but never an Alchemic Edict of a Zenith. More importantly, Wei Wuyin had grasped the Major Authority of Spatial Law and had the Soul Energy to use it without a fierce backlash. This suggested that his cultivation was incomprehensibly high.

Now was the issue.

Su Yi's secrets were still a target, but Yue Baoyue was beside him. Suo Haoran, specifically, understood that bringing displeasure or disrespect to a love interest was a crime in the eyes of powerful men or women. He had taught Long Shiya a lesson for being disrespectful towards Tianshi Ya.

None of them was unaware of the psychological or hidden barbs within Wei Wuyin's words. He had essentially left it unsaid, but he was directly fulfilling Yue Baoyue's request and had taken this as completing the action. He hadn't just completed the request, which he had shown he could do with ease, but he had also eliminated any foundation to launch an attack on Su Yi's person.

Using such tyrannical indirect tactics was unthinkably cunning, and if any of them made a move, they would be directly interfering with his intentions to have Su Yi leave. They had to weigh the consequences of acting against a Heavenly-Saint Alchemist who wielded profound, inestimable power.

Dongfang Yue, the Dao Enforcer of the Zenith Refinement Tower, broke the silence, "Heaven-Saint Neo-Dawn, I'm free now." Her words served to slice through the tension, allowing those to breathe.

Wei Wuyin's gaze lingered on Yue Baoyue for a moment longer before moving to Dongfang Yue, "Enforcer Elephant-Tigress, it'd be my honor to have you as a guest of my Neo Zenith Tower."

Dongfang Yue's eyes brightened.

"I'm free as well!" Superior Shizi laughingly remarked, earning Wei Wuyin's smile.

"I invite all seven of you to my Neo Zenith Tower. I actually planned to host a private auction. Why not do so now? All Sages can come to the Neo Zenith Tower for a few Arising Sage Elixirs and the Abstruse Spiritforce Pill. I have other products that I can offer as well. Come, I'll host you. I hope I don't disappoint." Wei Wuyin extended his hand out gracefully, inviting all Sages, Enlightened Sages, and Supreme Sages to this impromptu auction.

Su Yi's eyes widened.

Within seconds, spiritual transmissions emanated from all directions, coming from various Sages, Enlightened Sages, and Supreme Sages who were intent on participating. Also, the Dao Enforcers all expressed their intentions with joyous glints in their eyes, rife with competitiveness.

Wei Wuyin's eyes returned to Yue Baoyue and Su Yi for a moment. 'You've both caused me quite a bit of trouble, and I don't do things half-assed, so count yourselves lucky. However, I will no longer hold back as my debt with you has been paid and then some.'

Then, after speaking out a brief declaration of the auction, leaving the unspoken implication of allowing this matter to fade into black. Wei Wuyin brought Hong Xuannu and the unconscious Chu Xing with him. They left using the Star Disc, showcasing its effectiveness to all observers.

As if being reminded of this important detail, Suo Haoran now understood why the Incandescent Star Palace Lord decided to ally with Wei Wuyin to create these Star Discs. With his grasp of space at the Major Authority, there was no better partner to elevate his business and their business model.

It was this vague relationship that had given Wei Wuyin some legitimacy among Supreme Sage circles from the moment of his arrival, placing him firmly on the radar of the entire galaxy. Every subsequent action of his was like a storm sweeping across the galaxy, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy.

Now, the foreigner was capable of inspiring fear, being taken seriously, and even being an individual to curry favor with, while simultaneously shattering the galactic rule of preventing the development of any Imperial Dao by taking advantage of their own cultural traditions and habits. Every move was masterful and unpredictable, each vital point felt as if it could have gone any way, yet every direction attained enormous benefits and advantages for himself.

The Neo-Dawn Empire, a newly built empire, now had a direct link with the highest authority of the Alchemic Dao within the galactic cluster, and its Emperor was a top-ranking member of its hierarchy for the next quarter of a million years. Incredible.

Suo Haoran sighed softly in his heart at how everything was unfolding, but he was also grateful to Wei Wuyin's existence. If not for him, how could Tianshi Ya have been convinced to take his feelings seriously, understanding his pure intentions to court her despite the vast power and authority disparity between them?

Eventually, he received a spiritual transmission from Tianshi Zaoxuan on the next step. It seemed the same was true for the other Dao Enforcers. They all turned to Su Yi with more neutral attitudes, expressing the same sentiment.

Each Zenith was willing to extend an invitation. They had obviously shifted from forceful pressure to a gentler approach, subtly offering invitations to their Zenith Tower, all for the sake of purchasing Su Yi's secrets or even services. Regardless of his past, Su Yi was born in the Utmost Purity Galaxy and was thus an official citizen.

Even Su Yi felt as if he was given a whiplash from the shifting attitudes. He had no intention of offering his secrets. After all, no one would be able to…

Wait…

As if a spark went off in his mind, Su Yi sensed that Wei Wuyin's state was healthy, and he had saved Hong Xuannu in record time. If that was the case, then the Samsara of the Forgotten Hell Spell, the unique spell branded onto his existential framework by the natural laws of reincarnation, that could produce the Wheel of Samsara and allowed him to get a true second life that was fresh and pure…did he actually…understand what he said?!

The Language of Life and Death was taboo for Mortals and Ascended beings to hear; even Resonant Soul Realm cultivators would only be able to extricate the words from their souls due to their Heavenly Force. There's no way… …right?

While his thoughts were twirling into that unlikely possibility, the Dao Enforcers all left. The cage restricting his escape was removed. And the Soul Perceptions of Supreme Sages that lingered on his existence were all gone. They were moving toward the Neo Zenith Tower.

Heaven-Saint Neo-Dawn had taken all the pressure away. The only ones here were Yue Baoyue and himself, including those weaker spiritual senses from Mystic Overlords or lower that were extremely curious, now capable of observing the area after the restrictions were lifted.

Su Yi was stunned speechless. He did this all for Yue Baoyue? He didn't believe for a moment that Wei Wuyin cared about him in the slightest, only this beautiful girl before him, who was lost in her thoughts. What a situation… Yue Baoyue was unable to reconcile her emotions. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, she loved Su Yi. But these emotions weighing on her heart were abnormally strong, and they all carried Wei Wuyin's scent. Did she…love two men?

Was she always so fickle?

Now, she didn't even know if she had a choice any longer. She had promised anything…anything to Wei Wuyin.

Su Yi sighed. "As long as you don't wish for it, Heaven-Saint Neo-Dawn will not force you, regardless of any promise."

"What?" Yue Baoyue was baffled.

"I know men like him. I can say I am a man like him. We disdain taking advantage of unwilling women. I'll accept any choice you make, however. So just follow your heart's wants. Since you've followed me here, even willing to sacrifice everything for me, I would never abandon you. And if you're certain, then no deal or agreement can't be renegotiated." Su Yi spoke a lot here, trying to console her using what little he had gathered from interacting with Wei Wuyin.

Yue Baoyue had offered him considerable help, and he wasn't the type to get jealous. Only boys would experience such infantile emotions for a woman who had yet to become his in body, mind, and spirit. Moreover, in the end, it was her choice. Either way, none of it would erase the past they shared and the battles they've fought together.

Yue Baoyue did not expect such a mature, level-headed response, which only deepened her sense of guilt.

In a location far away, the woman who had encountered Su Mei within the Incinerated Dominion played with the uneaten orb filled with tens of thousands of starfields, staring deeply into the seven-colored galaxy.

"He survived…" A hint of joy was on her lips, but it soon gave way to a raised brow of curiosity. She tossed the last orb into her mouth and chewed with harsh crunches. The muted sound of supernovas occurring echoed between her lips, causing the space between her lips to effuse solar radiance.

"Who is that man? He's a Blessed, but his Karmic Luck Value is so disgustingly low for his strength. What a strange sight. Is he an Avatar? Or was his Karmic Luck Value used recently?" The woman couldn't quite understand the circumstances around Wei Wuyin. After all, his Karmic Luck Value was kept within his Bloodline of Sin tattoos, and as he hadn't cultivated the True Soul of Sin Method within the Scripture of Sin, he lacked Sinful Aura.

In her eyes, she could only observe his karmic fortune at his original amount, what he was at birth, and nothing more or less, creating this discrepancy.

And unknowingly, not by any deliberate hand, Wei Wuyin had avoided the attention of a horrifying existence…

…for that reason…

"He looks delicious and handsome! I wonder how he would taste?" Her voice leaked out a purity of desire and hunger as she slowly licked her lips.

But…some things nothing can stop…

Girl, I feel sorry for your choice. And I'm not talking about Yue Baoyue. XD]
