Chapter 2533 - 2223: Mysteriously Turned Against Each Other?

In the grand hall, Yun Yudie, Xu Jingshu, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Zhou Youyou had already surrounded Lu Chen.

However, Zhou Youyou’s gaze towards Lu Chen wasn’t as greedy as Yun Yudie and the others. Even though the Eternal Night affected Zhou Youyou, making her crave vitality intensely, her feelings for Lu Chen remained unchanged.

A hint of worry showed on her face as she thought about how to protect Lu Chen, ensuring that Yun Yudie wouldn’t capture him.

Seeing the four women encircling him, Lu Chen glanced at them and then laughed, saying, "What are you doing?"

Yun Yudie replied expressionlessly, "The Eternal Night has arrived. Staying here is unsafe for you, for your safety, I intend to take you to the Heavenly Fate Sect."

Lu Chen snorted with laughter and then said, "For my safety? Why do I feel like you all intend to imprison me?"

At this moment, Zhou Youyou weakly said, "Sect... Sect Hierarch, I... I feel that the Capital city is quite good, why don’t we just stay in the Capital city?"

Upon hearing Zhou Youyou’s words, Yun Yudie, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Xu Jingshu were stunned.

Under the influence of the Eternal Night, their minds were filled with a craving for blood, a desire for vitality, all thinking of possessing Lu Chen and imprisoning him as their exclusive food supply.

But Zhou Youyou actually thought of letting Lu Chen stay in the human world?

Could it be her emotions weren’t affected by the Eternal Night?

Regaining her senses, Yun Yudie coldly glanced at Zhou Youyou. The Deceitful Evil on her body exploded, and feeling Yun Yudie’s aura, Zhou Youyou shrank her neck in fear.

But when she thought of her child with Lu Chen, Zhou Youyou immediately straightened up, continued, "Sect Hierarch, we managed to breakthrough thanks to Lu Chen, we can’t be ungrateful."

When Zhou Xiaoxiao saw her sister speaking to Yun Yudie like this, her mind went blank. She had long realized her sister might have developed human emotions for Lu Chen, but she didn’t expect these feelings would lead her sister to defy a more powerful mysterious being.

Now it was troublesome, their Sect Hierarch wasn’t an ordinary mysterious being, and with her sister challenging the Sect Hierarch’s authority, the Sect Hierarch might severely punish her sister next.

While Zhou Xiaoxiao was contemplating how to plead for her sister, the Deceitful Evil from Yun Yudie’s body exploded. In an instant, the entire grand hall was overwhelmed by the Evil Qi, and Yun Yudie coldly said, "Youyou, do you know what you’re saying?"

"Ungrateful? When did mysterious beings even have the concept of gratitude?"

Mysterious beings aren’t human; they are essentially dead objects. What limits the behavior of mysterious beings is always power. Now that they have the power to turn against Lu Chen, they naturally would. Yet Zhou Youyou, a mysterious being, said they can’t be ungrateful here.

Just as Yun Yudie’s words fell, a gentle and wise woman’s voice appeared behind Lu Chen, "I’ve warned you before, mysterious beings aren’t trustworthy."

The next moment, a pressure from the Saint Realm descended from the sky.

When Yun Yudie broke through the Emperor Realm, Chu Yuqin was using the Shadow Exploration Stone to watch everything happening here.

Seeing Yun Yudie and the others seemingly about to besiege Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin had no choice but to come to Lu Chen’s side.

Feeling the pressure released by Chu Yuqin, Yun Yudie’s brows furrowed; this Saint Realm was indeed a problem.

Initially, the four Emperor Realm mysterious beings wanted to take Lu Chen; it shouldn’t be an issue. After all, she could launch the Deceit Tide, and now all the mysterious beings from the Heavenly Fate Sect were heading toward the Capital city. It won’t be long before the Deceit Tide floods the Capital city.

But Zhou Youyou jumped out to oppose her at this time. With Zhou Youyou coming out, Zhou Xiaoxiao likely wouldn’t listen to her either.

Unlike the weaker mysterious beings, she couldn’t control Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao with Deceitful Evil Resonance; thus, only she and Xu Jingshu were left to take Lu Chen.

Two Emperor Realm beings plan to take another Emperor Realm being, Lu Chen, which was nearly impossible.

Yun Yudie resisted Chu Yuqin’s pressure and said to Zhou Youyou, "Youyou, you should know how important Lu Chen is to us. I won’t harm him."

Now, there’s only hope in changing Zhou Youyou’s view, to have her willing to stand on the side of the Heavenly Fate Sect.

Zhou Youyou said, "I of course know the Sect Hierarch won’t take his life, but I also know the Sect Hierarch wants to imprison him, turning him into your exclusive blood supply."

"As long as I’m here today, I won’t let you take Lu Chen."

With that, the eyes on Zhou Youyou started to turn black, and the Deceitful Evil began to diffuse from her.

Hearing the conversation between Yun Yudie and Zhou Youyou, Chu Yuqin, who was preparing to take action to rescue Lu Chen, was stunned.

What’s happening?

Have mysterious beings turned against each other?

She had lived for many years, and it was her first time seeing such a scene.

What a new experience...

While Chu Yuqin was in a daze, Lu Chen’s voice came, "Madam Chu, didn’t you say mysterious beings aren’t trustworthy? Look, isn’t there one willing to stand by my side?"

Chu Yuqin was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, she had never seen a mysterious being willing to protect a human.

Seeing Zhou Youyou seemingly determined to protect Lu Chen, Yun Yudie grew tired of arguing with Zhou Youyou, her gaze turned to Zhou Xiaoxiao; Zhou Youyou’s heart was entirely tied to Lu Chen’s, but Zhou Xiaoxiao was different. Zhou Xiaoxiao had no feelings for Lu Chen; she should be on the side of the Heavenly Fate Sect.

Yun Yudie directly asked, "Xiaoxiao, you wouldn’t have the same thoughts as Youyou, would you?"

Hearing Yun Yudie’s question, Zhou Xiaoxiao didn’t answer immediately. She glanced at Zhou Youyou, then her eyes fell on Yun Yudie, sighing softly, "Sect Hierarch, even if we don’t take Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Fate Sect, we can consume his vitality as we did before. I also think it’s unnecessary to go the extra mile."

Zhou Xiaoxiao said this partly for her sister and partly because after hearing Zhou Youyou’s words, she worried if Yun Yudie took Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Fate Sect, he’d become Yun Yudie’s personal blood supply, and they’d never be able to contact Lu Chen again.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao indeed stood on Zhou Youyou’s side, Yun Yudie’s Deceitful Evil aura grew even more violent, her gaze viciously fixating on Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, with a mocking face, said, "Yudie, seems like you can’t take me away today."

Yun Yudie said coldly, "The Deceit Tide is imminent, even without those two..."

Just as Yun Yudie was speaking, suddenly, there was a spatial fluctuation in the sky.

The space twisted and deformed, subsequently forming a black vortex, from which a red light slowly emerged.

The red light scattered, revealing a red bridal sedan, which emitted layers of red glow. The red glow touched Yun Yudie and the others, and their pupils gradually reverted from red to their original colors.

Yun Yudie realized her power had been completely suppressed by the red glow, and the Deceitful Evil dispersed instantly.
