Chapter 2355 - 2045: I Underestimated You Humans
Feeling the frightening aura emanating from Qu He, Yun Yudie’s calm expression changed slightly.
At this point, she understood what was going on. No wonder Lu Chen was so bold to meet her; it turns out he had such a powerful person by his side.
Clearly, she had fallen into a trap.
The moment Qu He released the spiritual evil, the deceitful evil in Yun Yudie restrained itself immediately, and then, the half-skeletal side of her body gradually regained flesh.
The next moment, she descended from the sky, standing on the narrow path in the valley, coldly staring at Lu Chen, motionless.
Seeing that Yun Yudie offered no resistance, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Sect Leader Yun, don’t you think of trying to escape or resist?"
Yun Yudie replied expressionlessly, "I have underestimated you humans. I didn’t expect you to have a Heavenly Realm strong person by your side."
Though curious as to how Dazhou, a remote dynasty, could have a Heavenly Realm strong person, it was meaningless to explore this now.
In the face of the Heavenly Realm, the Earth Realm has no chance, especially when she is suppressed by Dazhou’s qi fortune and her own strength hasn’t fully recovered. Even if she fought with all her might, she probably couldn’t escape, so she simply decided not to waste time.
To her, being sealed was irrelevant; she would eventually break the seal again one day.
At the same time, on the cliff of the valley, Xu Jingshu, upon feeling the terrifying pressure released by Qu He, instinctively wanted to flee.
However, to her surprise, Qu He suddenly made a grabbing motion toward the cliff, and the next moment, a tremendous force firmly restrained her body, pulling her directly to the valley floor.
Xu Jingshu struggled relentlessly, trying to break free of the control.
No matter how she struggled, the invisible force continued to bind her.
At this point, Yun Yudie’s icy voice echoed through the valley: "Don’t struggle, we can’t escape."
Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, Xu Jingshu stopped struggling, and all the mysterious evil spirits in the valley ceased their activities.
Even their sect leader had said so, proving that they were indeed defeated.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister, standing by Lu Chen, were dumbstruck.
Didn’t Lu Chen say that this Qu He was only at a late-stage Earth Realm cultivation state?
How could it release such a terrifying aura?
Is this late-stage Earth Realm?
What a joke!
This was completely different from what they knew of the late-stage Earth Realm.
Zhou Xiaoxiao wasn’t a fool; she quickly understood the situation. Clearly, Lu Chen had deceived them.
Lu Chen used her to relay false information, luring Yun Yudie into making a move against him.
This made Zhou Xiaoxiao feel somewhat guilty. She originally thought Lu Chen would be taken back to the Heavenly Fate Sect by their sect leader, but unexpectedly, the tables turned and their sect leader was captured by Lu Chen.
But now, it allowed her to truly see Lu Chen’s intentions.
She wondered whether Lu Chen intended to seal them or engage in something improper with them.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou also still doubted that Lu Chen was nice to them and helped them improve their realm only to use them for the purpose of sealing Yun Yudie.
Now that Yun Yudie was under control, Lu Chen no longer needed to keep up the pretense.
If Lu Chen intended to seal them, he would surely have that elder make a move immediately.
But if Lu Chen was truly after their bodies, they would likely be taken back to Zhen Nan Prince Manor next.
For a moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister felt extremely uneasy, staring intently at Lu Chen, waiting for his next move.
At this point, Yun Yudie also looked at Lu Chen and calmly asked, "The victor is king, the defeated is the bandit—how do you intend to deal with me?"
To her, being sealed was not a big deal.
At this moment, Lu Chen walked slowly to Yun Yudie’s side, smiled, and replied, "I told you in Dongxing City, you will become my wife."
The deceitful evil in Yun Yudie suddenly burst forth, a glint of killing intent flashing in her eyes: "I would rather be sealed than engage in something improper with you. You better drop that idea!"
However, the deceitful evil within her had just erupted, only to be suppressed by an overwhelming force.
For a moment, her delicate body trembled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead.
Lu Chen chuckled lightly, "Sect Leader Yun, it’s not up to you now."
Yun Yudie felt as if the deceitful evil within her had frozen, unable to be released. The strength of the Heavenly Realm inspired a hint of fear in her heart.
She struggled to maintain her composure, then coldly threatened, "Even if you take me back to Zhen Nan Prince Manor, I will never agree to dual cultivation with you."
"On the contrary, if you don’t seal me, I could take your life at any moment."
Yun Yudie didn’t believe this elder would remain by Lu Chen’s side forever.
As long as she found an opportunity, she could kill Lu Chen.
Taking her back to Zhen Nan Prince Manor would be a huge threat to Lu Chen.
She didn’t believe Lu Chen would keep her around when she posed a threat to his life unless Lu Chen was completely blinded by lust and desire.
Seeing Yun Yudie’s resistance to dual cultivation with him, Lu Chen just smiled faintly.
In the Burial Furnace, he had gone to lengths in order to engage in dual cultivation with Yun Yudie.
But Yun Yudie was someone who valued the exchange of benefits, and if the benefits were sufficient, he believed Yun Yudie would agree to dual cultivation with him.
Then Lu Chen said, "Don’t you want to devour my vitality to quickly restore your strength?"
"You’ve seen Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou’s rapid progression in realm. If you dual cultivate with me, it won’t take long for you not only to restore your power but even breaking through to the Heavenly Realm is assured."
"By then, if you want to leave, I’m afraid no one could stop you."
Hearing this, Yun Yudie fell into deep thought.
It seemed he wasn’t altogether wrong. If she could break through to the Heavenly Realm, considering her mysterious identity, the Heavenly Realm human by Lu Chen’s side wouldn’t be a threat to her.
In the same realm, where Dazhou’s qi fortune suppression was not strong, a mysterious being’s strength inherently surpassed that of humans. By then, not only would escaping Zhen Nan Prince Manor be possible, but taking Lu Chen away wouldn’t be out of the question either.
The thought of capturing Lu Chen, a high-quality blood food with infinite vitality, stirred Yun Yudie’s heart slightly, yet she felt deeply troubled by the idea of a dignified Deceit King consorting with a human.
For a moment, Yun Yudie was extremely conflicted inside.
Seeing Yun Yudie fall silent, Lu Chen tempted her once more, "Once you become a Heavenly Realm mysterious being, there’s likely no one in Dazhou capable of challenging you."
"At that point, not just me, but the entire Dazhou could be your pasture. Sect Leader Yun, wouldn’t you consider making a deal with me?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s temptation, Xu Jingshu hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, do not believe this vile blood food’s words. Your status is noble, how can you lower yourself to him? He surely has a bigger scheme in mind."
Honestly, Xu Jingshu herself was quite tempted, but she didn’t believe Lu Chen would genuinely help them advance in realm.
Humans aren’t fools; why would they help a Deceit King break through to the Heavenly Realm?
