Chapter 2539 - 2229: I Don’t Plan to Help Other Ancestors Recover Their Memories for Now

After a while, Yun Yudie came to her senses.

With a flick of her hand, a blue dress enveloped her alabaster-like body.

Then she said coldly to Lu Chen, "That’s it for today, I need to go out."

Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, Lu Chen immediately replied, "It seems there’s been an incident in the Border Wilderness. Before figuring out what’s going on, you should stay in the Capital city."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie’s brow slightly furrowed, what did Lu Chen mean by this?

Was he intending to imprison her, not allowing her to leave the Capital city?

No way! That thing is calling to her.

She had a premonition that if she could obtain the thing that was calling to her, her memory might fully restore, and her strength would greatly increase.

However, now that she was in the Capital city, if Lu Chen wouldn’t let her leave, she probably couldn’t go.

There’s a Saint Realm expert stationed in the Capital city, and Lu Chen possesses a Magic Treasure that can instantly suppress her. If she forcibly tries to leave, she’ll surely be stopped.

Moreover, if she tried to leave the Capital city so urgently, it would arouse Lu Chen’s suspicion. If by any chance Lu Chen followed her and made a move just when she was about to obtain the thing calling to her, snatching it away, retrieving it from Lu Chen would be difficult.

Yun Yudie decided to temporarily heed Lu Chen’s advice, and so she said indifferently, "Fine, I’ll stay in the Capital city for now."

Seeing Yun Yudie agree to stay, Lu Chen immediately got dressed, said nothing else, and flew north towards the Border Wilderness, carrying the Rebirth Stone.

No sooner had Lu Chen left the Capital city, Chu Yuqin emerged from the room, and followed suit.

Being the clone of the Ancestor of the Strange with restored memories, she clearly sensed the fluctuation of the Mysterious Power, thus inferred that a Memory Pearl was being unsealed.

Though she hadn’t planned on restoring the memories of other Ancestors, as a Mysterious being, she absolutely could not allow the Memory Pearl to fall into Lu Chen’s hands.

If the Memory Pearl is under her control, she could choose when to restore the memories of the Ancestors.

But if it were to fall into Lu Chen’s hands, the Ancestors could never recover their memories, and would be at Lu Chen’s whim, which she was unwilling to see.

Even though she still had feelings for Lu Chen, when it came to the interests of the Mysterious clan, she couldn’t be ambiguous.

Lu Chen didn’t take long to be brought by the Rebirth Stone to an entrance of a ruin, which resembled the Ancient Ruins in Dazhou. From afar, a gigantic black vortex swirled on the earth, swallowing the vitality of all living things nearby; everywhere was littered with white bones, and plants had all withered.

At this moment, the Rebirth Stone in Lu Chen’s hand emitted a strand of seven-colored light, extending into the black vortex.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen plunged headlong into the black vortex.

Seeing Lu Chen enter the ruins, Chu Yuqin frowned, she absolutely couldn’t allow Lu Chen to find the newly unsealed Memory Pearl before her.

Then Chu Yuqin transformed into a black shadow and entered the ruins.

Lu Chen relied on the guidance of the Rebirth Stone to search for the Memory Pearl, but Chu Yuqin, being a Mysterious being and a clone of the Ancestor of the Strange,

She could use the Mysterious Power to resonate with the Memory Pearl of the Ancestor, allowing her to instantly sense the location of the Memory Pearl once inside the ruins.

Upon entering the ruins, Chu Yuqin immediately released her Mysterious Power.

In an instant, the entire ruins were enveloped by the Mysterious Power she released.

Lu Chen, holding the Rebirth Stone, continued probing around in search of the Memory Pearl’s location.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from above, followed by a thick wave of Mysterious Power sweeping past his body.

Feeling the presence of Mysterious Power, Lu Chen realized it wasn’t good. He then infused spiritual evil into the Rebirth Stone, urging it to quickly bring him to the Memory Pearl.

The Rebirth Stone transformed into a rainbow glow, continuously leading Lu Chen forward, quickly heading towards the core of the ruins.

However, Lu Chen was only in the Emperor Realm, while Chu Yuqin was in the Saint Realm. In terms of speed, he naturally couldn’t compete with Chu Yuqin.

It took Lu Chen fewer than twenty breaths to reach the center of the ruins.

But he was still a step late.

Just as he was preparing to use the Rebirth Stone to seal the Memory Pearl, he noticed a graceful figure on a distant altar.

Seeing Chu Yuqin’s enchanting form, Lu Chen was slightly startled. He didn’t know that Chu Yuqin had regained her memory. Earlier, when he felt the aura of Mysterious Power, he thought it was another Ancestor appearing.

Once Lu Chen gathered his thoughts, he focused on Chu Yuqin’s hand.

A black pearl was floating above her jade-like hand.

The pearl was emanating Mysterious Power, forming ripples as if communicating with Chu Yuqin.

Lu Chen asked, "Madam Chu, why did you come here?"

Chu Yuqin immediately clenched her hand, holding Yun Yudie’s Memory Pearl, turned to look at Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "If you can come here, why can’t I?"

Lu Chen inquired, "Madam Chu, there’s a great evil sealed within that pearl. Could you hand it over to me?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin replied, "You’re the same as before, always trying to deceive me."

Chu Yuqin’s tone carried a trace of reproach, her eyes filled with a sense of grievance.

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s tone, Lu Chen felt a sudden dread; could it be that Chu Yuqin had regained her memory?

Judging by her ability to release Mysterious Power, even if she hadn’t completely restored her memory, she probably recalled some things.

But even if she restored her memory, it wouldn’t be a problem, considering the Red Flower Sedan was present.

If Chu Yuqin intended to harm him, the Red Flower Sedan would appear, and with the constraint of the Power of Oath, Chu Yuqin couldn’t harm him.

Yet similarly, he couldn’t harm Chu Yuqin either, let alone snatch the Memory Pearl from her.

Lu Chen tentatively asked, "Madam Chu, did you remember something?"

Chu Yuqin chose not to hide and directly stated, "You’re right, I’ve restored my memory."

Lu Chen’s mind slightly jolted; she really had restored her memory, which complicated things.

Though Chu Yuqin was Chu Yunzhi’s clone, she was also the clone of an Ancestor, and she would surely align with Chu Yunzhi.

Moreover, judging by her rushing to compete for the Memory Pearl, Chu Yuqin had likely figured out his intentions, so she would definitely try to stop him.

Though neither side could harm the other, Chu Yuqin was a Saint Realm expert, and regaining her memory meant the power of the Ancestor would also revive.

Henceforth, it would be nearly impossible to seize the Memory Pearl from Chu Yuqin.

As such, with more and more Ancestors recovering their memory, it seemed his plans were going to fall through.

He had hoped to seal the memories of the Ancestors, allowing him to live with them forever.

Seeing Lu Chen staring at her silently, Chu Yuqin continued, "My goal aligns with yours—I don’t plan to help the other Ancestors restore memory for now."

Lu Chen asked confusedly, "Why? You don’t plan to prevent me from being with other Ancestors?"
