Chapter 2491 - 2181: Are You the Lu Chen of the Rumors Outside?

After Chu Yuqin’s body entered the black vortex, the deceitful evil pieces within her started boiling, making her extremely worried and nervous for a moment.

Although she had already verified that her body was unharmed after contacting mysterious power, last time she only touched a trace of it. Now, her body was entirely exposed to the mysterious power.

With so much mysterious power flooding into her body, whether she could withstand the erosion was uncertain.

However, when her body touched the black vortex, she found herself okay, allowing Chu Yuqin to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the mysterious power rushed into her body frantically, but once inside, it transformed into her own strength.

She could clearly feel her realm slowly rising, and her body incredibly comfortable.

As the darkness faded away, a faint dark light appeared in front of her eyes, and Chu Yuqin immediately saw houses situated in the distance.

Chu Yuqin looked around in surprise. Did she succeed in entering the ruins?

Since she had entered the ruins, the first thing she had to do was find Lu Chen and determine whether the ancient inheritance had already fallen into his hands.

With her Saint Realm strength, taking the ancient inheritance from Lu Chen would be an easy task.

However, just as Chu Yuqin was preparing to search for Lu Chen, she suddenly felt a suppressive force.

Immediately after, numerous black chains appeared before her eyes.

Those chains wrapped around her body, and although they didn’t restrict her movements, she could feel her realm rapidly declining.

Chu Yuqin quickly mobilized the spiritual evil within her, attempting to break free from the control.

But she found that no matter how she struggled, the chains continued to wrap around her body.

However, the chains seemed intangible, yet her keen senses could perceive their existence.

Soon, Chu Yuqin’s realm fell to the early-stage Emperor Realm, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Realm suppression was not something Chu Yuqin found surprising.

Most secret realms left by great powers of old would suppress the strength of entrants, and some secret realms, even if strong individuals could enter, would suppress their realm; this secret realm was exactly like that.

Now, her strength had been suppressed to the Emperor Realm, so easily capturing Lu Chen was probably not going to be easy.

Although the Emperor Realm is a major level higher than the King Realm, Lu Chen’s talent is terrifyingly powerful, coupled with the possibility that he may have already obtained the ancient inheritance and also may have acquired some magic treasures left by ancient great powers, his means of self-preservation would definitely not be few.

Chu Yuqin did not have full confidence in capturing Lu Chen.

Chu Yuqin took a deep breath, striving to calm herself down.

Escaping the realm suppression was impossible; after all, this was a ruin left by ancient great powers.

She could only confront Lu Chen with her Emperor Realm cultivation state.

Well then, Emperor Realm it is; by being cautious, she should be able to capture Lu Chen.

Moreover, this world didn’t seem very large, so finding Lu Chen should still be quite easy.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin immediately flew towards the distant village, intending to inquire about Lu Chen’s whereabouts from the villagers.

Originally, she could directly use spiritual sense to scout this small world, but she did not do so.

She was worried that if her spiritual sense swept over this small world, it might alert Lu Chen.

What if Lu Chen noticed that a strong individual entered the small world and directly fled?

What Chu Yuqin didn’t know was that even though she didn’t use her spiritual sense to explore this world, Lu Chen had already sensed her presence.

These days, mysterious beings were constantly being sent in from outside, so Lu Chen did not cling to the women as much as he usually did.

Now, he spent his days patrolling the small world, capturing any new mysterious beings and bringing them before Yun Yudie.

If those mysterious beings were willing to join the Heavenly Fate Sect, he would let them go.

If any mysterious being was unwilling to join the Heavenly Fate Sect, Lu Chen would directly seal it.

As the number of mysterious beings increased, Lu Chen also became busier.

At this moment, Lu Chen had just sealed a mysterious being unwilling to join the Heavenly Fate Sect on a cliff, and the next moment, he sensed a powerful presence had descended on this small world, a presence that felt very familiar to him.

Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Was his fear coming true?

Could an ancestor of the strange really have descended upon this world?

Lu Chen hurried towards the source of that presence.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuqin was in the village mingling with the Dazhou villagers.

The Dazhou villagers didn’t know that someone from outside had entered this world; they still thought Chu Yuqin was also from Dazhou.

Seeing her clothes were extremely luxurious and full of ornaments, the villagers thought Chu Yuqin was of noble identity, a member of the Great Zhou Royal Family.

Whatever Chu Yuqin asked, they answered.

Chu Yuqin soon discovered where Lu Chen was, and she was about to head towards the capital city of Dazhou in this small world.

The next moment, she sensed a King Realm aura rapidly approaching her village.

Chu Yuqin looked up at the sky and saw a black speck rapidly growing larger.

In just a moment, a figure appeared high in the sky not far from her.

In this world, Chu Yuqin hadn’t seen Lu Chen yet.

However, from the King Realm aura emanating from Lu Chen, she knew that the person before her was none other than Lu Chen.

Chu Yuqin quickly infused power into her legs, then flew into the sky to confront Lu Chen.

When she carefully examined Lu Chen, she found his face very familiar, even feeling an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Her head throbbed faintly, as if trying to remember something.

Chu Yuqin was puzzled; why did she feel this way?

Who, exactly, was Lu Chen?

How could he make her feel such closeness?

Lu Chen was just a border wilderness native; logically, as an elder from a holy land in Central State, she shouldn’t have met Lu Chen before.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin was the one who had come, Lu Chen was also taken aback.

Among the ancestors of the strange, although Chu Yuqin wasn’t the first he developed a close relationship with, she was the first he had feelings for.

However, to be precise, Chu Yuqin was just a clone of Chu Yunzhi, not a true ancestor of the strange.

Lu Chen had thought that once the ancestors of the strange regained their memories, their clones would be integrated, but unexpectedly, Chu Yuqin’s clone still existed.

Chu Yuqin and Chu Yunzhi, although they looked very similar, had quite different dispositions.

Chu Yuqin’s demeanor was more akin to a gentle woman, whereas Chu Yunzhi was more aloof, with the aura of someone in a high position.

The two stared at each other from a distance, saying nothing for a long time.

After a while, Chu Yuqin couldn’t hold back and asked, "Are you the Lu Chen the outside world talks about?"

Lu Chen returned to his senses and said with a smile, "That’s me."

Chu Yuqin said, "Facing me, you show no fear at all; it really surprises me."
