Chapter 2545 - 2235: Why Not Imprison Him?

Chu Yuqin seemed to guess what Yun Yudie was thinking, so she said, "I know you are unwilling, thinking it a great humiliation to be oppressed by a blood food."

"But have you ever thought that being by his side is also a good thing for you? After all, his body possesses infinite vitality, and the life force within him is even more abundant."

"The higher the realm, the more vitality we, mysterious ones, need. There is no better quality blood food than him in the entire world."

Yun Yudie came to her senses and said coldly, "But all this requires me to exchange with my body."

Chu Yuqin said, "The mysterious are not human, nor do they have concepts of chastity, so being intimate with him does not affect you at all."

Yun Yudie’s delicate eyebrows lifted slightly, but she didn’t respond.

Indeed, being intimate with Lu Chen doesn’t negatively impact the mysterious, but as a mysterious being, doing that with a blood food still makes her feel uncomfortable.

This discomfort isn’t something that can be eliminated in a day or two, just like how it would feel for humans to do such things with livestock they raise.

In the eyes of the mysterious, humans are equivalent to pigs, cows, and sheep.

Chu Yuqin continued, "Moreover, let me remind you, the pasture beyond this world has already been destroyed by our enemies."

"Without Lu Chen, this quality blood food, our mysterious strength can never be elevated again."

"Before entering this world, we were always thinking about how to make Lu Chen willingly become our blood food to provide us with vitality."

"We thought hard for countless ages but couldn’t come up with a good solution. However, now it seems that we only need to cultivate deep feelings with Lu Chen and use those feelings to bind him, thus making him willingly provide us with vitality."

Yun Yudie queried suspiciously, "Why not just imprison him?"

Chu Yuqin smiled and said, "If we could do that, don’t you think we would have already?"

Yun Yudie considered it and realized that if they could imprison Lu Chen, they would have done so long ago.

Lu Chen’s past strength must have been formidable, which might also explain why she became Lu Chen’s partner before losing her memory.

Lu Chen was too powerful, and they were helpless against him, so they could only exchange their bodies for his vitality.

When she thought about using their bodies to trade for vitality as mysterious beings, Yun Yudie felt an immense sense of shame.

Yun Yudie asked, "What does this have to do with your unwillingness to help me recover my memory? Since we are both mysterious beings, both of the same race, why are you unwilling to help me?"

Chu Yuqin said, "It’s not the right time yet."

Seeing Chu Yuqin’s resolute refusal to help her regain her memory, Yun Yudie said, "If that’s the case, then I won’t disturb you any longer."

As those words fell, Yun Yudie removed the sound insulation barrier and immediately turned to walk toward the outside of the hall.

Just as she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Chu Yuqin, asking, "Before we entered this world, did Lu Chen and the mysterious have children?"

Chu Yuqin answered, "Indeed, and we have quite a few descendants. If nothing unexpected happened, our descendants now should number in the millions, or even tens of millions."

Yun Yudie’s eyelids twitched slightly; humans and the mysterious could actually reproduce offspring.

She originally thought that Lu Chen and Zhou Youyou having a child was merely an exception, but it seems she’ll have to be very cautious around Lu Chen in the future, lest she ends up pregnant by him.

Her dealings with Lu Chen were solely to devour his vitality; she didn’t intend to bear Lu Chen’s offspring.

With this in mind, Yun Yudie turned to leave Chu Yuqin’s chamber.

...

Central State, Sky Demon Sect.

Demon Son Hall.

In the hall, black spiritual evil shrouded the entire hall, and green deceitful fire floated above the oil lamps, with shadows crossing within the hall.

At the top of the hall sat a bone chair made from human bones, and a man covered with magical patterns sat on the eerie chair. The man’s face was sullen, and he didn’t speak a word, plunging the whole hall into silence, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

The few elders in the hall were bathed in cold sweat. After a while, an elderly white-haired man finally spoke up, "Demon Prince, you need not worry. Eternal Night has already descended. If there is a deceit tide attacking the Border Wilderness, the Saintess surely cannot survive."

Ye Hanjiang remained silent. He had heard such words countless times before.

When Xue Linglong went to the Border Wilderness, someone had told him that many righteous strongmen were seeking ancient inheritances, and Xue Linglong might encounter mishaps.

Later, when Xue Linglong entered the ancient ruins, people said she wouldn’t last long before being killed by Lu Chen.

Yet, Xue Linglong is still alive to this day.

When she returned to the Sky Demon Sect, he initially thought that even if Xue Linglong survived, having not completed the Sect Hierarch’s task or brought back the so-called ancient inheritance, she would no longer be favored by the Sect Hierarch.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, their Sect Hierarch secretly sent people to the Border Wilderness, intending to bring Xue Linglong back.

Moreover, there are recent rumors in the Sky Demon Sect that their Sect Hierarch intends to pass the position of Sect Hierarch to Xue Linglong.

This left Ye Hanjiang, the Sky Demon Sect’s Demon Prince, unable to sit still.

At this moment, another Holy Realm Elder suggested, "Why don’t we simply go all out and send someone to Central State to eliminate her? As long as she dies, the position of Sect Hierarch naturally belongs to the Demon Prince."

At this point, Elder Xu under Ye Hanjiang said, "That’s not advisable. Since the Sect Hierarch already intends to pass on the position to the Saintess, if the Sect Hierarch learns of our actions against the Saintess, he might rather choose another heir, never passing the position to the Demon Prince."

"The best approach is to have the Saintess die at the hands of other forces."

At this moment, an elder interjected, "But with the Eternal Night upon us, all the factions in Central State have withdrawn from the Border Wilderness, leaving no strong forces there."

Xue Jichuan chuckled and said, "Actually, there’s still a way. Although the Central State forces have retreated from the Border Wilderness, under the Eternal Night, the mysterious are innumerable."

"If the Saintess perishes amidst the deceit tide, others can’t be blamed. She should have returned to the Sky Demon Sect at the first opportunity."

Hearing Xu Jichuan’s words, Ye Hanjiang instantly became spirited.

Indeed, if they could borrow the mysterious’s hand to eliminate Xue Linglong, it would be ideal.

However, the mysterious don’t heed human commands.

Although the barriers between the Border Wilderness and Central State have disappeared, and in theory, the mysterious should flock to the Border Wilderness, the lack of strong presence there doesn’t attract those formidable mysterious beings.

Even if a deceit tide appears in the Border Wilderness, it’s just a small-scale tide.

Considering this, Ye Hanjiang said, "Elder Xu’s method is worth considering, but with no strong presence in the Border Wilderness, how can we lure a deceit tide there?"

Xu Jichuan responded, "Your Highness, I do have a plan, but I am unsure of its feasibility."

Ye Hanjiang immediately asked, "Speak, what plan do you have?"

Xu Jichuan replied, "Recently, there’s been a deceit saint leading a deceit tide to attack the Burial Moon Immortal City. We could try sending someone to communicate with that deceit saint, using the Burial Moon Immortal City as leverage to gain the deceit saint’s assistance."
