FreeNovel"Even a powerful being like Greedy Wolf is being manipulated by the Demon King. What chance do we mere mortals have against the Demon King?" Jiang Ning heaved a sigh. "I would never put Jiang Yao at risk if I had another choice. She's my daughter, and I would take a bullet for her. However, there are many more people on earth that also need my protection. The only way I can keep Jiang Yao safe is if I keep everyone safe. Do you understand?" Peter Pan remained silent.
The sound of his heavy breaths filled the room.
He understood everything Jiang Ning had said, but he could not accept the truth.

The fate of the world hung by a thread, and Jiang Ning, whom the burden had been laid upon, felt like he was walking on a tightrope. One wrong step and all of humanity would tumble into a chasm of lawlessness. There was only one way Jiang Ning could clinch this.
They could not afford to lose.
"Is there really no other choice? You can useas bait!" Peter Pan offered himself up.
"I would be more than happy to let you take Jiang Yao's place if that could work, but as of now, Jiang Yao is our only hope," Jiang Ning said, anguished.
Peter Pan's fingers curled into fists as his eyes stung with tears.
"How confident are you?" he rasped.
A heavy silence blanketed the both of them before Jiang Ning spoke.

The urge to strangle Jiang Ning overwhelmed Peter Pan, but he knew all too well that Jiang Ning was right. It was the only way they could succeed.
There was no longer an incentive for Greedy Wolf to reappear. In the last battle, Greedy Wolf had openly told Jiang Ning that he saw the wickedness within Jiang Ning. With that knowledge, there was nothing that the Greedy Wolf had to worry about. All he needed to do was wait for the Demon King to rouse.
The end was inevitable, so there was no point in exposing himself.
Now, the only thing that could entice Greedy Wold was Jiang Yao. As the last Source, not only could she escalate the Demon King's revival, but she would also enhance his powers to the point of achieving eternal life.
Peter Pan was a jumble of emotions. Anger, resignation, and self-blchurned within him. I should have murdered Greedy Wolf when I had the chance. We wouldn't be in this position if I had. But now, thanks to my lack of foresight, my disciple has to bear the consequences.
"It's all my fault! If I had killed Greedy Wolf earlier, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault!" Peter Pan bawled, crushed by crippling disappointment.
"No one is to blhere, and it'll do us no good anyway. What we have to do now is to lure Greedy Wolf out and use this chance to murder him." Jiang Ning said. "First, we need to go to the Underworld and awaken the past demon kings. Then, we'll harness their power to demolish the demon soul fragment within Greedy Wolf. This is the only solution. We must only succeed. We can't fail this task." To succeed and not fail was common sense.
However, it was easier said than done. Accomplishing a mission of this difficulty often entailed sacrifice.
