Chapter 2383 - 2073: Could the Deceit Demon Be Connected to Xuan Qingyun?
The Deceit Suppression Bureau ultimately failed to capture the deceit demon left by the Yellow Springs Sect at the Qin Mansion.
Helplessly, Fan Yaodong had to write a letter to be sent to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
In the letter, he detailed the events that took place at the Qin Mansion, especially the scene of the creature finally transforming into a human.
Guangling City, Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
During broad daylight, from Xu Jingshu’s room came the occasional sound of chirping.
These past days, Lu Chen had been working hard, but unfortunately, there was no movement in Yun Yudie and the others’ bellies.
A gentle breeze blew open the window slowly, letting sunlight spill into the room, falling on the beauty’s snowy skin.
Lu Chen’s large hands gently caressed Xu Jingshu’s smooth and warm jade-like snow back, while the beauty raised her jade neck high.
At that moment, a fierce deceitful evil burst out from Xu Jingshu’s body, and the next instant, the deceitful evil enveloped the entire room, with the pressure of the Earth Realm emanating from her.
Feeling the surging deceitful evil inside her, Xu Jingshu was delighted in her heart, as she finally broke through to the Earth Realm.
According to her original cultivation speed, without devouring large quantities of quality blood food, even ten years might not be enough to break through to the Earth Realm.
It must be said that Lu Chen really was their mysterious cultivation tool.
If she continued to cultivate at the current speed, it might be possible to break through to the Heavenly Realm within twenty years.
Now she had completely accepted dual cultivation with Lu Chen, for in her heart, Lu Chen was impossible to be human.
Since Lu Chen was not of inferior human nature, she naturally didn’t have to care much about the matter of dual cultivation.
At that moment, Xu Jingshu propped herself up, gazing down at Lu Chen’s deep eyes, and exhaled a warm breath, saying: "Didn’t expect you’d really dare to help us break through."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I’ve told you, you are my couple, helping my couple break through, what’s wrong with that?"
Xu Jingshu asked, "Even if what you say is true, before we recover our memories, we will still regard you as a human."
In fact, Xu Jingshu wanted to remind Lu Chen not to help Yun Yudie break through to the Heavenly Realm.
Because in Xu Jingshu’s view, once Yun Yudie breaks through the Heavenly Realm, she might confine Lu Chen and turn him into her exclusive blood food.
She and Zhou Xiaoxiao had basically believed Lu Chen’s words, so they harbored no great hostility toward Lu Chen.
But Yun Yudie was different. Yun Yudie was a Deceit King, she had the dignity of a Deceit King, and still held hostility towards Lu Chen, maintaining vigilance against him.
It was only now she couldn’t defeat the Heavenly Realm Strong Person beside Lu Chen; otherwise, Lu Chen would surely be captured by her.
Xu Jingshu, as someone who stayed long beside Yun Yudie, understood their Sect Hierarch’s thoughts too well.
Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, the voice of the Hidden Guard sounded at the door: "Princely Heir, there is a letter from Commander Fan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately wrapped his hand around Xu Jingshu’s willow waist, then flipped over, weighing her down, before slowly rising.
He simply put on a piece of clothing and then addressed the Hidden Guard at the door: "Come in."
The female Hidden Guard then entered the room and handed the letter to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took the letter, opened the envelope, and glanced at the contents.
Seeing the letter mentioned the Yellow Springs Sect monster reappeared, and that the monster could attack a person’s spirit, even possessing the strength of an Earth Realm Deceit King, most importantly, it could transform into human form.
Lu Chen’s expression immediately turned serious.
This monster’s ability to transform into human form indicated it might indeed be a human turned.
If the monster itself was a human turned, it could infiltrate human society, making it tough for people to discern its true identity or apprehend it.
No wonder the Deceit Suppression Bureau had been investigating the massacre case for such a long time with scarcely any leads.
This monster was even better at concealing than the mysterious, and it had a greater advantage over the mysterious, which was that it had no evil qi.
Lacking the emission of evil qi directly makes those methods of the Deceit Suppression Bureau for probing evil spirits ineffective.
At this moment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xu Jingshu on the bed, Xu Jingshu sat with the blanket concealing her body.
Lu Chen asked, "Have you ever heard of mysterious or evil spirits without evil qi?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingshu thought for a moment and then said, "I’ve heard of an existence called deceit demon, similar to the mysterious, only they don’t have evil qi on them, their power stems from negative human emotions."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately recalled the Heavenly Demon he encountered inside the Burial Furnace.
The Heavenly Demon fed on human fear, and the creator of the Heavenly Demon was Xuan Qingyun.
Could this deceit demon have anything to do with Xuan Qingyun?
Given Yun Yudie and the others had arrived in this world, then Xuan Qingyun might also be here.
So this deceit demon might indeed have been created by Xuan Qingyun.
If we think this way, then perhaps Xuan Qingyun is behind the Yellow Springs Sect.
The thought of Xuan Qingyun made Lu Chen a bit agitated inside.
That woman opposed me even when inside the Chaos Beast’s belly.
Yet until he left the Burial Furnace, he hadn’t subdued Xuan Qingyun.
If Xuan Qingyun truly is behind the Yellow Springs Sect, he would catch her no matter what.
This time, he will conquer Xuan Qingyun, have her bear a litter, to vent his heart’s revenge.
With this in mind, Lu Chen told the Hidden Guard before him: "Tell Commander Fan to continue tracking the Yellow Springs Sect’s whereabouts, if necessary, I will send support."
The Hidden Guard bowed and said, "Yes, Princely Heir."
After speaking, the Hidden Guard turned and left the room.
...
Tianxuan Palace.
A solitary peak hung suspended in Outer Heaven, surrounded by barren rocks and steep cliffs, with no thriving trees crowding.
On the severed cliff, a Qingyi-clad woman sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, watching the clouds roll in the sky.
At this moment, a gray-robed elder appeared behind the woman, first saluting her and saying, "Greetings, Palace Master."
Before Chu Qingli could speak, he immediately reported: "Palace Master, a Heavenly Realm Strong Person has appeared at Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Upon hearing Li Xun’s words, Chu Qingli’s mind sharply twitched, she arose from the meditation mat, turning to Li Xun, and asked sternly: "Heavenly Realm Strong Person? Are you certain?"
Li Xun immediately took out the Shadow Tracing Mirror, saying to Chu Qingli: "Palace Master, the Shadow Tracing Mirror still contains the incidents at Cloud Cliff City a month ago, you may take a look."
Chu Qingli raised her hand, and the Shadow Tracing Mirror in Li Xun’s hand flew before her.
Then Chu Qingli infused telekinesis into the Shadow Tracing Mirror, and the next moment, the events that happened outside Cloud Cliff City a month ago surfaced in the mirror.
Seeing the elder in the mirror releasing the spiritual evil in the sky, Chu Qingli’s expression grew even more solemn.
She couldn’t fathom how in such a remote place as Dazhou, a Heavenly Realm Strong Person would appear.
Moreover, logically speaking, a Heavenly Realm Strong Person wouldn’t come to this region, unless that person was an original inhabitant of Dazhou.
