Chapter 2474 - 2164: I Have My Own Way to Survive

Wu Junwan couldn’t help but wonder, could Lu Chen be telling the truth, that there’s no so-called ancient inheritance inside, but only a terrifying sealed existence?

Wu Junwan snapped back to reality and fixed her gaze on Lu Chen’s eyes.

Lu Chen’s eyes were clear, seemingly not lying.

Wu Junwan asked, "What kind of terrifying existence are you talking about?"

Lu Chen replied, "It should be a demon."

Wu Junwan asked, "Where did you seal it?"

Without hesitation, Lu Chen directly took out the Rebirth Stone.

As soon as the Rebirth Stone was taken out, Wu Junwan felt a tremendous pressure.

She quickly circulated the spiritual evil within her body, resisting that pressure. To prevent Lu Chen from discovering that the Rebirth Stone had a suppressive effect on her, Wu Junwan forced herself to act calm and said, "Alright, put it away, it’s dazzling."

Lu Chen didn’t think much and directly put the Rebirth Stone away.

At this moment, Wu Junwan continued to ask, "Where did you get this stone?"

Although she didn’t know the origin of the stone in Lu Chen’s hand, its displayed power made it obvious that this stone was extraordinary, possibly a world-class treasure.

Hearing Wu Junwan’s question, Lu Chen smiled and replied, "If I said this stone flew into my hand, would you believe me?"

Wu Junwan’s gaze was indifferent as she looked at Lu Chen, without responding, with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing that Lu Chen was unwilling to talk, Wu Junwan was too lazy to continue questioning.

She could feel that Lu Chen wasn’t lying about some matters, especially about the terrifying existence inside the ancient ruins.

Currently, Wu Junwan’s greatest curiosity was about Lu Chen’s background.

If what Lu Chen said was true, and there really was a terrifying existence inside, and he could seal it, then Lu Chen’s origin was likely not simple, but this guy hid his identity so well, leaving no clues.

In the Central State, even if some people intentionally hide their identity, as soon as they make a move, people can discern which power they belong to from their techniques.

But Lu Chen’s techniques were quite peculiar, and it was impossible to discern which Central State power they came from.

At this moment, Wu Junwan couldn’t help but ask, "Do you truly not wish to join the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty?"

Seeing Wu Junwan ask this question again, Lu Chen said, "Currently, many people want to recruit me. Once the Border Wilderness’s restrictions disappear, major powers will surely invite me to join them."

"As for their purposes, you know: one, for any possible ancient inheritance on me; two, for my talent."

"No matter which power I join, it would offend the others. Instead of risking that, it’s better not to join any power."

Wu Junwan thought about it; Lu Chen’s words made sense.

If Lu Chen joins any power, it would greatly increase that power’s future strength.

Most importantly, all powers would want to prevent the ancient inheritance from falling into the hands of others.

Wu Junwan snapped back to reality and continued asking, "Can the power behind you protect you?"

Even if Lu Chen ultimately didn’t join the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, Wu Junwan didn’t want to see Lu Chen perish, especially since they already had a child together.

She believed that their child would shine brightly in the future.

With this child, there was a bond between her and Lu Chen.

If Lu Chen grows up in the future, even if he doesn’t join the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, she could have him support her.

As the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, she understood how helpful Lu Chen could be once he grew up.

Hearing Wu Junwan’s question, Lu Chen responded with a smile, "Are you concerned about me?"

Wu Junwan did not deny it and said, "I’m afraid that if you die, Feng’er will be without a father, and it would affect his growth."

Lu Chen said, "Don’t worry about that, I have my own means of survival."

Seeing Lu Chen’s confidence, Wu Junwan felt slightly relieved. Since he has means of survival, there was no need for her to worry about him.

...

Day by day passed, and the Border Wilderness’s restrictions were gradually disappearing.

Soon, other Central State powers discovered a gap that could accommodate King Realm cultivators entering the Border Wilderness.

In the cloudy sky, several large ships emitting black qi were suspended.

The ships bore numerous skull flags, filled with grievances, from which wailing sounds of souls emanated.

On the deck, a sturdy man, standing a full zhang tall, was steadfastly watching the distant black crack.

The sturdy man’s body was covered in black lines, emanating thick evil qi, which seemed to distort the space.

At that moment, a disciple from the Yellow Springs Sect approached the sturdy man respectfully and said, "Lord Situ, based on our observations, this crack should allow King Realm spirit martial artists to pass through."

Hearing the disciple’s words, Situ Jie grinned, revealing large black teeth, with evil qi continuously leaking from his mouth.

Situ Jie then said, "Everyone, follow me into the Border Wilderness."

As his words fell, he controlled the flying boat toward the crack.

Generally, when a power discovers a crack in the Border Wilderness’s restrictions, they would have someone guard it to prevent others from using it.

But Situ Jie was unconcerned about these things; his entry into the Border Wilderness was purely for killing.

The more people from other powers entered, the more advantageous it was for the Yellow Springs Sect; it meant more people to kill.

In the Central State, all forces, regardless of whether they are righteous factions or the Sky Demon Sect, they are all enemies.

Of course, entering the Border Wilderness is also to prevent others from obtaining the ancient inheritance, although for them, the ancient inheritance is useless. They aim to stop others from acquiring it.

The flying boats of the Yellow Springs Sect magnificently passed through the crack into the Border Wilderness.

Upon entering, Situ Jie immediately took out a Blood Pearl.

This Blood Pearl could sense all those who have cultivated the Yellow Springs Sect’s evil techniques.

They had already sent sect members into the Border Wilderness long ago, intending to find those disciples and learn about the world’s current situation.

Although Situ Jie entered purely for killing, he also needed to understand the current situation of the Border Wilderness, the disciple strengths, and their hiding places before taking action.

The Blood Pearl flew into the air, and Situ Jie instantly infused his evil qi into it.

In the next moment, the Blood Pearl emitted a blood-red glow.

Immediately, several red dots appeared within the light screen emitted by the Blood Pearl, all situated close to him.

Situ Jie was slightly surprised by the coincidence of encountering the Yellow Springs Sect members upon entering.

He then urged the flying boat towards the location of the red dots.

At the same time, in a certain mountain village, several Yellow Springs Sect disciples were massacring the village, which consisted mainly of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, completely defenseless.

In just a moment, the entire village was engulfed in blood aura, with corpses scattered everywhere.

A blood-covered man looked over the corpses, his eyes filled with madness.

He laughed wildly, saying, "I’ve broken through, I finally broke through, soon I’ll be able to create a Deceit Demon, hahaha!"

Just as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure descended from above, followed by a distant voice: "To be so thrilled with merely breaking through to the Earth Realm, it seems you are not important disciples of our sect."
