Chapter 2435 - 2125: Could This Ruin Have Been Left Behind by the Mysterious?

After Lu Chen regained his senses, he said to Peng Zhao, "I’m fine. It seems this ruin isn’t meant for just anyone to enter."

Speaking of which, Lu Chen’s gaze fell on Pei Shuhua, and he continued, "This ruin is so dangerous, do you still want to go in?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s question, Pei Shuhua fell into hesitation.

She arrived later than many people and witnessed firsthand the scene of people turning into dried corpses as they leaped into the ruin.

This indeed frightened her, so much so that she stood at the edge of the whirlpool, observing, hoping to see if anyone could enter the whirlpool alive.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Shuhua looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Why are you okay?"

Lu Chen said, "Could it be that my realm is higher than yours, hence I can withstand that eroding force?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Pei Shuhua fell silent.

If that’s the case, then perhaps this ancient ruin is unrelated to them, and they’ll have to wait until the restrictions in the Border Wilderness disappear before their Holy Land can send people to explore this ruin.

But by then, the inheritance within this ancient ruin might have already been found by others.

Meanwhile, Yun Yudie also arrived at the entrance of the sealed place with Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Standing at the edge of this whirlpool, feeling the mysterious power emanating from it, the women all felt an incredible comfort throughout their bodies, wishing to jump in immediately.

However, remembering the people who had turned directly into dried corpses, the three women did not dare to enter recklessly. Although they are immortal, what if they inadvertently leapt into some inescapable array and got sealed?

At this moment, Lu Chen flew to the sky and then said to the people present, "This is the entrance to the ancient ruin. If you can enter it alive, the treasures inside are yours to take. Furthermore, the people from Zhen Nan Prince Manor are not allowed to enter without my permission."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the people present looked at each other, none daring to take that step.

At this moment, a latecomer mockingly said, "What cowards, the ruin is right there, yet no one dares to enter."

As he spoke, the man leaped directly toward the whirlpool.

However, as soon as his body touched the mysterious power above the whirlpool, the vitality in his body was instantly drained, and in the next instant, he turned into a dried corpse.

Seeing this scene, the people present gasped in shock.

The man was at the late-stage Earth Realm, yet such a formidable Spirit Martial Artist couldn’t last even a moment.

This place is too perilous; who would dare enter it? Unless one possesses Heavenly Realm power like Lu Chen.

Lu Chen ignored the crowd present and looked at Pei Shuhua, saying, "If you don’t dare to enter, then come back to the Imperial Palace with me."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua remained silent, not responding, her gaze fixed on the black whirlpool before her.

She didn’t know why, but she felt that the whirlpool contained some power beneficial to her.

If she could absorb the power within the whirlpool, perhaps it would enhance her strength.

Of course, this was just her intuition.

After witnessing so many people turn into dried corpses, even with such an intuition, she dared not take the risk lightly.

After contemplating for a while, Pei Shuhua ultimately decided to return with Lu Chen.

She planned to ask Lu Chen if he had encountered any places that might hide ancient inheritances.

Regaining her senses, Pei Shuhua said to Lu Chen, "Alright, I will go back with you."

Seeing Pei Shuhua not prepared to explore, Lu Chen led her toward the Imperial Palace.

After walking a few steps, Yun Yudie and the two women approached.

Yun Yudie looked at Lu Chen and directly asked, "Is there any danger inside?"

Lu Chen said to the three women, "There might be danger for ordinary people, but not for you three."

Yun Yudie believed that Lu Chen wouldn’t lie to her and directly said to Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, "Let’s go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took the two sisters and headed directly toward the whirlpool.

Seeing the three women head straight toward the black whirlpool, Pei Shuhua stopped in her tracks to watch.

Could it be that those three women are Lu Chen’s partners?

Lu Chen said they wouldn’t be in danger, could they also be at the Heavenly Realm?

While Pei Shuhua was curious whether the three women would be swallowed by the black whirlpool, Yun Yudie stepped into the black whirlpool, and the next moment, her body slowly submerged inside.

As soon as she entered the whirlpool, she felt the mysterious power around her pouring madly into her body, and for a moment, she felt incredibly comfortable.

The same was true for Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou; they had never felt so comfortable before.

Seeing that the three women did not turn into dried corpses upon entering the black whirlpool, the crowd was in an uproar.

What’s going on?

Why are they unharmed?

Could they also be at the Heavenly Realm?

Since when did Dazhou have so many Heavenly Realm strong individuals?

Could it be there is some special method?

Could it require Dazhou’s bloodline, that this ruin can only be opened by the Emperor of Dazhou, and perhaps only those with the royal bloodline can enter?

But Lu Chen doesn’t have the royal bloodline of Dazhou; how did he get in?

The crowd present speculated endlessly about why Yun Yudie and the other two were able to enter safely.

Lu Chen had no interest in listening to their discussion, so he directly carried Pei Shuhua in a princess carry and took off, flying back to the Imperial Palace.

With his current power, there’s no need to hide.

Even if others saw him holding the Empress Dowager, no one dared to say anything.

Pei Shuhua was momentarily taken aback and only regained her composure after Lu Chen had flown to the Imperial Palace.

This guy dared to hold her in front of so many people; wasn’t he afraid this would spread?

In retrospect, given his strength and that Zhen Nan Prince Manor has so many Heavenly Realm experts, he need not fear what others say about him being rebellious.

Lu Chen carried Pei Shuhua back to her bedchamber and glanced at the child.

At the moment, Lu Xinxin was already asleep.

Seeing Lu Xinxin lying on the bed sound asleep, Lu Chen’s face revealed a gentle smile.

Just then, Pei Shuhua’s voice sounded behind him, "Those three women must be from your manor, right? Why can they enter the ancient ruin? Are they Heavenly Realm too?"

Lu Chen didn’t hide it and straightforwardly replied, "They aren’t Heavenly Realm; they can enter because they aren’t human."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua was momentarily stunned.

Not human? Then what are they?

Evil spirits? The mysterious?

This guy is actually keeping evil entities?

Lu Chen turned back to see Pei Shuhua’s astonished expression and continued, "Other than me, only the mysterious and evil spirits can enter the ancient ruin, not even the Heavenly Realm can."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Pei Shuhua immediately said, "Impossible!"

How could there be a ruin that only allows mysterious and evil spirits to enter and not humans?

Could this ruin have been left behind by the mysterious?

She had never heard of such a thing.

The Qionghua Holy Land has explored many ancient ruins but never encountered one that only allows the mysterious and evil spirits in.

Pei Shuhua subconsciously thought Lu Chen was deceiving her.

This man not only didn’t want to tell her how to enter but was also lying to her; it was infuriating.

She had even given him a child, yet he wasn’t willing to let her gain any advantages.

Seeing Pei Shuhua looking at him with suspicion, Lu Chen said, "Don’t doubt it; you’ll know in a few days. When all the Outer Domain forces arrive, you’ll see if they can enter."
