Chapter 2530 - 2220: Aren’t You Afraid We’ll Betray You When the Time Comes?

Chu Yunzhi came back to her senses and asked, "Why doesn’t Elder Yu Changqin just take Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?"

Song Hong replied, "Elder Yu Changqin believes that Lu Chen possibly doesn’t want to leave the Border Wilderness. The legacy is crucial, and if we all leave, after the Eternal Night, the legacy could fall into the hands of other forces."

Chu Yunzhi thought to herself, so Lu Chen doesn’t want to leave the Border Wilderness. It seems Lu Chen is very cautious and guardful against the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, difficult to deceive.

Seeing Chu Yunzhi’s concern, Song Hong said, "Holy Master, do not worry. If Elder Yu Changqin can persuade Lu Chen to join the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, she might take him back to the Central State."

Hearing Song Hong’s words, Chu Yunzhi’s brows remained furrowed. She knew that if Lu Chen was willing to join the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, Elder Yu Changqin would immediately take Lu Chen away from the Border Wilderness.

But what if Lu Chen is stubborn and refuses to leave the Border Wilderness, choosing to face the Deceit Tide head-on, wouldn’t Elder Yu Changqin have to stay by his side to protect him?

Currently, the Border Wilderness should only have Elder Yu Changqin as the sole Saint Realm. If the Deceit Tide in the Border Wilderness is huge, one Saint Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

However, Chu Yunzhi reconsidered. If they encountered a Deceit Tide that Elder Yu Changqin couldn’t resist, she would probably take Lu Chen away from the Border Wilderness immediately. After all, she has lived for so many years and knows how to adapt.

Thinking about it this way, the larger the Deceit Tide in the Border Wilderness, the more likely it is to force Lu Chen to leave.

That said, from what they know about the Deceit Tide, usually the stronger the force, the larger and more powerful the Deceit Tide they encounter.

If there is only Elder Yu Changqin in the Border Wilderness, the size of the Deceit Tide there might not be so great.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunzhi held her head with her hand and rubbed her temples, then said to Song Hong, "Elder Song, if there is nothing else, please go about your own affairs."

Song Hong cupped his hands and said, "Very well, Holy Master."

With those words, Song Hong turned and left.

At this moment, Chu Yunzhi felt a bit conflicted. On one hand, she hoped this Deceit Tide would scare Lu Chen, making him likely to seek refuge with the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

On the other hand, she worried that the Deceit Tide might be too large for Elder Yu Changqin to handle, although she trusted that in the face of danger, Elder Yu Changqin would take Lu Chen away from the Border Wilderness immediately.

However, once the Eternal Night arrives, there will be no completely safe place in this world. If Elder Yu Changqin tries to bring Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land during the Eternal Night, they might encounter even stronger Mysterious forces on the way.

Chu Yunzhi sighed lightly and muttered to herself, "Let’s hope they don’t encounter any Mysterious forces above the Saint Realm."

...

Yun Yudie’s palace.

After devouring a large amount of Lu Chen’s vitality, Yun Yudie exhaled deeply, a faintly satisfied expression appearing on her cool face. She had to admit, having Lu Chen as an infinite granary was convenient. No matter how much vitality she drained from Lu Chen, his vitality would recover in no time.

Now thinking back, although she traded her body for Lu Chen’s granary, having this granary meant she no longer had to exhaust efforts to create a blood feast farm in the future.

At this moment, Yun Yudie looked down at Lu Chen on the bed and asked, "With the Eternal Night approaching, keeping us by your side, aren’t you afraid that we’ll betray you?"

When the disciples of Central State’s forces withdrew from the Border Wilderness, they spread the news of the forthcoming Eternal Night throughout the region. Now, from nobility to young children, everyone knew a great catastrophe was coming.

Yun Yudie naturally also knew about the Eternal Night. As a Mysterious being, she hadn’t personally experienced the Eternal Night, but she had gathered some information about it from Central State’s disciples.

It’s said that once the Eternal Night descends, the power of Mysterious beings will greatly increase, and powerful Mysterious beings will emerge to initiate Mysterious disturbances, harvesting blood feasts.

When Yun Yudie learned that powerful Mysterious beings would appear after the Eternal Night, she thought Lu Chen might be worried that these Mysterious beings would betray him, and might cleanse all Mysterious beings around him and in the Border Wilderness before the Eternal Night arrived.

But a few months passed, and Lu Chen showed no signs of taking action.

Was Lu Chen really so trusting of them?

Or did Lu Chen have some means of dealing with Mysterious beings, so he wasn’t afraid of the Eternal Night’s arrival?

Hearing Yun Yudie’s question, Lu Chen raised his hand and gently played with Yun Yudie’s hair as she lowered her head. While helping Yun Yudie arrange her disordered hair, he asked, "Why do Mysterious beings initiate Mysterious disturbances?"

Yun Yudie answered, "Naturally, for the blood feast."

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Well, are you lacking in blood feasts?"

This...

Yun Yudie seemed to understand Lu Chen’s meaning.

Lu Chen continued, "Since you don’t lack blood feasts, why would you betray me?"

"Not only will you not betray me, but to protect your granary, you’ll actively help me resist the Deceit Tide."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie’s brows furrowed slightly. Lu Chen wasn’t wrong; to prevent her limitless granary, Lu Chen, from being taken by powerful Mysterious beings, she would certainly stand by his side to help him resist the Deceit Tide.

But this man, acting as if he had her all figured out, made her feel very displeased.

Yun Yudie said coldly, "That’s not necessarily true. If a powerful Mysterious being appeared, I might offer you as a token of allegiance to gain their favor instead."

Lu Chen’s deep eyes fixed on Yun Yudie’s ice-blue pupils, a faint smile on his lips, and he said with confidence, "No, you wouldn’t do that."

Seeing Lu Chen’s certainty, Yun Yudie said indifferently, "I asked the disciples of Central State’s forces, and they said that there is a good chance of encountering Emperor Realm Mysterious beings during the Eternal Night."

"With my abilities, I can’t contend with Emperor Realm Mysterious beings. Not to mention Emperor Realm, even Saint Realm ones are beyond my capability. If Mysterious beings above the Saint Realm really appear, besides offering you up, I might have no other choice."

"Since you know so much about Mysterious beings, you should be aware that strong Mysterious beings can use the Deceitful Evil Resonance to control all weaker Mysterious beings."

"When the time comes, even if I can’t bear to offer you up as my granary, there’s a good chance I’d be controlled by the powerful Mysterious being and obey their command, delivering you to them."

Of course, she didn’t want to give Lu Chen, who possessed boundless vitality, to others, but Yun Yudie wasn’t very confident in herself. She was acutely aware of the absolute dominance strong Mysterious beings have over weaker ones.

With her current strength, she might have to obey even King Realm Mysterious beings, let alone those above the Saint Realm.

Hearing Yun Yudie’s words, Lu Chen gave a faint smile and then said, "Strong Mysterious beings indeed can control weaker ones."

"But this doesn’t apply to all Mysterious beings. There are special existences among them, some with special bloodlines. Even if these Mysterious beings are weak, their bloodline can intimidate others several times stronger."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie was baffled. Special existence? Special bloodline?

What is this?

Since when did Mysterious beings need to be categorized by bloodlines?
