Chapter 2528 - 2218: We Must Not Become Enemies with Lu Chen

Wu Junwan brought up the issue of reincarnation directly because she wanted to see Lu Chen’s reaction, to test him.

Of course, she understood that doing so was quite risky. If she angered the Ancient Great Power that reincarnated in Lu Chen, her life might be at stake.

But for some reason, she just wanted to know the answer.

She wanted to know whether the happiness she felt came from Lu Chen or the so-called Ancient Great Power.

Lu Chen immediately saw through Wu Junwan’s thoughts, and he chuckled and asked, "Do you think I am Lu Chen, or that so-called Ancient Great Power?"

Wu Junwan calmly replied, "I don’t know."

Lu Chen asked, "Then do you hope that I am Lu Chen, or that Ancient Great Power?"

Wu Junwan said, "It’s all the same to me."

Lu Chen said, "Since it’s all the same, you don’t seem to have any reason to ask me this question."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s response, Wu Junwan’s heart sank. Could it be that her father was right? Was Lu Chen truly reincarnated? Otherwise, why didn’t Lu Chen answer her directly?

But then Lu Chen continued, "Have you ever seen an Ancient Great Power who wastes time every day, not thinking of restoring their strength, only indulging in pleasure?"

This left Wu Junwan speechless, as what Lu Chen said seemed correct.

An ancient residual soul has finally found a body for reincarnation, and instead of thinking about restoring strength, they indulge in pleasures on the bed with women daily; it doesn’t seem likely.

Seeing Wu Junwan silent, Lu Chen asked, "What are you planning to do next? Return to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty or continue staying in the Border Wilderness?"

Wu Junwan came back to her senses and then said, "Wherever Feng’er is, that’s where I will be."

In truth, Wu Junwan preferred to return to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, as she believed the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had more strong individuals, and if the Eternal Night descends with mysterious disturbances, staying in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would undoubtedly be safer.

However, she could not abandon her own child here.

Furthermore, she had a premonition; Lu Chen must have a trump card against the mysterious forces, especially since this guy can even tame the mysterious beings.

Wu Junwan stared into Lu Chen’s eyes, probing, "Since you know the Eternal Night is approaching, how do you plan to deal with the Deceit Tide?"

Upon hearing Wu Junwan’s question, Lu Chen didn’t answer right away, as he didn’t know the scale of the Deceit Tide in this world, nor the level of mysterious forces behind the tide.

However, since even the powerful factions in Central State suffered significant losses due to mysterious disturbances, if a Deceit Tide truly attacked the Border Wilderness, Dazhou would likely suffer as well; it’s tough to handle.

Seeing Lu Chen silent, Ji Yunmeng, who was in Lu Chen’s arms, said, "If we can’t handle the Deceit Tide, why not return to the Ancient Ruins once more?"

Wu Junwan reminded, "The Ancient Ruins may be able to resist Saint Realm experts, but they can’t resist mysterious forces. Even if we hide in the Ancient Ruins, the mysterious forces can still enter."

After hearing Wu Junwan’s words, Ji Yunmeng frowned slightly, as this indeed posed a problem.

With nowhere to hide, they would likely have to face the Deceit Tide directly.

Lu Chen regained his composure and said, "We’ll deal with soldiers as they come and water with earth; let’s take it one step at a time."

Seeing Lu Chen say this, Wu Junwan knew Lu Chen hadn’t thought of a solution either.

At this moment, Wu Junwan suddenly thought of something and then asked, "Will those two Saint Realm individuals from Tianxuan Holy Hall leave Dazhou?"

Lu Chen said, "Their Elder Yu Changqin definitely won’t leave, but as for the other Saint Realm individual, I’m not sure."

Lu Chen believed that Chu Yuqin wouldn’t leave Dazhou, but Song Hong might.

Wu Junwan thought, with a Saint Realm presence, they should have no problem resisting the Deceit Tide.

Although strong individuals in the Border Wilderness are scarce, there is a benefit.

The mysterious forces aim to devour the blood food, and for them, the stronger the Spirit Martial Artists, the denser the vitality, and the more delectable they are.

Therefore, the Deceit Tide tends to attack those Immortal Cities more.

Most inhabitants in the Border Wilderness are mortals, and even if mysterious forces attack the common folks there, their strength won’t be too formidable, and one Saint Realm presence should be enough.

Of course, that’s under normal circumstances.

Wu Junwan glanced again at Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng, then said, "I won’t disturb you any longer."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left the room quickly, giving Lu Chen no time to speak.

Lu Chen wanted to say something, but Wu Junwan had already left the room.

Wu Junwan acted as if she was guarding against Lu Chen.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng propped herself up, slightly lowered her head, and saw Lu Chen’s looking like he wanted to speak but stopped, and she said indifferently, "It seems she knows your thoughts too."

Lu Chen came back to his senses and smiled slightly, "What malicious thoughts could I have? Forget it, let’s not talk about these things anymore, and continue our business."

Saying this, Lu Chen grasped Ji Yunmeng’s smooth back, then rolled over and pressed her beneath him.

Meanwhile, in Chu Yuqin’s small courtyard, Song Hong and Chu Yuqin sat at a stone table, discussing the affair of the Eternal Night.

Song Hong said, "Elder, since the Holy Master has given the order, we should return; the Eternal Night matter is of great importance."

Upon hearing Song Hong’s words, Chu Yuqin said, "The Ancient Inheritance can increase an Emperor Realm expert for our Holy Land, and the inheritance is equally important."

Song Hong said, "Why not tell Lu Chen about the Eternal Night?

Now that the restrictions in the Border Wilderness have disappeared, the Deceit Tide is sure to rush toward the Border Wilderness. By then, Lu Chen won’t be able to cope with it, staying there means waiting for death. After knowing about the Deceit Tide, he might be willing to follow us back to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Chu Yuqin said, "Based on what I know about him, he likely won’t agree."

Chu Yuqin knows what Lu Chen fears.

Lu Chen fears that after he arrives at Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, he will be controlled by Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

So until he possesses absolute strength, Lu Chen will not go with them to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Song Hong said, "If Lu Chen is unwilling to come with us to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, then we’ll forcibly take him away. With our two Saint Realm strengths, I don’t believe we couldn’t bring him along, being merely an Emperor Realm."

Chu Yuqin reminded, "Have you forgotten that he possesses the strength to instantly kill Saint Realm experts?"

Song Hong was momentarily speechless, even though he believed Lu Chen’s capability to instantly kill Saint Realm entities was entirely due to acquiring some trump card from Ancient Inheritance, but no one could say if Lu Chen had other cards in hand to instantly kill Saint Realm beyond that.

With the Eternal Night approaching, they cannot take such a risk.

In this manner, wouldn’t they be out of options against Lu Chen?

At this point, Song Hong suddenly thought of a plan. He immediately set up a sound-isolating formation and said, "Why don’t we take all his wives and children away, and use them as leverage to make him join Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s face instantly turned cold, "It’s not right for a reputable sect to threaten others using their family."

Moreover, Lu Chen may become an Emperor Realm expert in the future. If we truly do this and offend Lu Chen, even if Lu Chen temporarily joins Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, he won’t have a favorable impression, and he may seek revenge on Heavenly Profound Sacred Land when he grows stronger."

Chu Yuqin immediately said, "We must not engage in hostilities with Lu Chen."
