Chapter 2548 - 2238: I Sense the Presence of the Netherworld Evil Emperor

Hearing the words of the King Realm steward, Zhao Wuxin was taken aback. Can a Deceit Tide even form in a place like the Border Wilderness?

But it’s not surprising, after all, not all the mysterious forces target powerful Spirit Martial Artists.

Even if there is a Deceit Tide, it’s likely not of a large scale.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxin asked, "What is the scale of that Deceit Tide?"

The King Realm steward replied with a face full of terror, "The scale is very large, with at least a million pure Deceits."

Hearing the steward’s reply, Zhao Wuxin was again shocked.

A million or more?

Are you kidding?

In such a remote place, without powerful Spirit Martial Artists, only ordinary people, how could over a million Deceits come to such a place?

A Deceit that can command a million Deceit Tide would at least be an Emperor Realm Deceit, possibly even a Saint Realm Deceit.

Above the Emperor Realm Deceits need high-quality blood meals, which refer to those powerful Spirit Martial Artists.

Zhao Wuxin couldn’t help but think, could it be that the other party sensed the Saint Realm aura on him and came for him?

Wait, he is now a Deceit Demon, with a mysterious aura on him; he shouldn’t attract those powerful Deceits.

Could it be because he hasn’t transformed into a Mysterious Body?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Wuxin immediately said to all the disciples and elders of the Yellow Springs Sect present, "Everyone immediately activate the Evil Spirit and transform into Deceit Demons."

Hearing Zhao Wuxin’s order, the people present did not follow the command immediately. They looked at Zhao Wuxin, seemingly unable to understand why he was doing this.

Zhao Wuxin then released the Saint Realm pressure from his body and coldly said, "What are you waiting for? Are you planning to wait until the Deceit Tide devours you completely before activating the Evil Spirit?"

Upon hearing Zhao Wuxin’s reprimand, the disciples of the Yellow Springs Sect hurriedly activated the Evil Spirit within them.

In an instant, everyone on the Flying Boat turned into Deceit Demons with countless eyes growing on their bodies.

At the moment of transforming into Deceit Demons, their minds were infiltrated by the Evil Spirit, each becoming extremely violent. Not even Zhao Wuxin, a Saint Realm, could suppress the violent emotions deep within, as if something was tempting them to completely surrender their bodies.

Meanwhile, in Dazhou.

In the Imperial Study Room, Ji Yunmeng lay atop the Jade Table, Lu Chen standing behind her, helping her enhance her cultivation state.

Just then, Ji Yunmeng’s head buzzed with a jolt; a sense of crisis surged through her heart. She quickly turned to look at Lu Chen, who had a fierce look on his face, and said, "A Deceit Tide has surged into the Border Wilderness."

Ji Yunmeng is the Empress of Dazhou, bound with the Qi fortune of Dazhou. Upon the invasion of a Deceit Tide, she can sense it instantly.

Hearing Ji Yunmeng’s words, Lu Chen snapped back to his senses and stopped to ask, "How large is the Deceit Tide?"

Ji Yunmeng frowned slightly, saying solemnly, "Very large."

In her perception, the Deceit Tide overflows like a tide covering the sky.

Lu Chen said, "Looks like we’ll be busy."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately changed into his clothes, then used the Evil Spirit to send a voice transmission to Chu Yuqin and the others, "The Deceit Tide is coming, everyone head to the Hall of Political Affairs to discuss how to handle it."

With that, Lu Chen went directly to the Hall of Political Affairs.

Ji Yunmeng also quickly got up, tidied her clothes slightly, and went to the Hall of Political Affairs.

A moment later, the women gathered in the Hall of Political Affairs.

In fact, most people sensed the Deceit Tide. After all, they themselves are Ancestors of the Strange, and their perception of mysterious auras is more acute than the Spirit Martial Artists of this world.

Lu Chen, seeing all the women gathered, set his gaze on Chu Yuqin, and asked, "Madam Chu, can you suppress the Deceit Tide with your aura?"

Chu Yuqin did not immediately answer Lu Chen’s question. Without hesitation, she released the mysterious pressure from her body, a terrifying mysterious power enveloping the entire Border Wilderness.

Next, that aura spread toward the Deceit Tide.

When the Deceit Tide sensed her aura, it immediately stopped advancing.

Upon noticing that the Deceit Tide had not continued to surge towards the Border Wilderness, Chu Yuqin then said to Lu Chen, "I’ve stabilized the Deceit Tide for now, but they have not retreated; it seems like there should be a Deceit Emperor or Deceit Saint behind this Deceit Tide."

After hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen did not pay much mind.

Even if there were a Deceit Saint, Chu Yuqin alone could suppress the other party.

She is a clone of the Ancestor of the Strange, and merely by her aura, she can suppress other Deceits.

If that Deceit Saint is not an Ancestor of the Strange, then surely the other party is no match for Chu Yuqin.

Lu Chen then asked, "Can you sense the position of that Deceit Saint?"

Chu Yuqin said, "No, the strong deceitful one behind the Deceit Tide should not have arrived."

Lu Chen said, "Indeed, this is the Border Wilderness; there are too few strong individuals to attract strong deceitful ones above the Deceit Emperor."

Chu Yuqin said, "The other party may not be here for the blood meal."

Lu Chen asked, "Why do you say so?"

Chu Yuqin said, "If they were here for the blood meal, the Deceit Tide wouldn’t be so large in scale."

"You also said that there are no strong individuals in the Border Wilderness to attract deceitful strong ones."

"But a Deceit able to mobilize a Deceit Tide of this scale must be very powerful, at least a Deceit Emperor or Deceit God."

"Since the Border Wilderness doesn’t have the blood meals they need, why send so many Deceits to attack the Border Wilderness?"

Hearing Chu Yuqin say this, Lu Chen couldn’t help but think that perhaps an Ancestor of the Strange has perceived a Memory Pearl in the Border Wilderness, that’s why they sent a Deceit army to attack the Border Wilderness.

Chu Yuqin continued, "We’ll know what’s going on if we capture a few Deceits."

Lu Chen snapped back to reality; indeed, instead of guessing here, it would be better to go to the frontlines and capture some Deceits for interrogation.

After all, with so many Ancestors of the Strange on his side, capturing some Deceits from whom they can force a confession is no big deal.

Then Chu Yuqin’s body transformed into a black shadow flying toward the Great Zhou Border.

Lu Chen and Yun Yudie followed closely behind.

Just as they were nearing the border, they suddenly sensed a nauseating aura.

Chu Yuqin immediately stopped, her gaze fixed on the place where Yun Yudie obtained the Memory Pearl last time.

Noticing Chu Yuqin suddenly stopping and looking coldly in a certain direction, Lu Chen confusedly asked, "What is it? Discovered something?"

Chu Yuqin answered, "The claws of the Netherworld Evil Emperor may have also come to this world, I sensed the aura of the Netherworld Evil Emperor."

The Netherworld Evil Emperor and Chu Yuqin, they are both Ancestors of the Strange, but their powers do have some differences.

The power of the Netherworld Evil Emperor is more insidious, whereas the mysterious power within Chu Yuqin is more pure.

Hearing Chu Yuqin mention the Netherworld Evil Emperor, Lu Chen couldn’t help but doubt; could it be that this world was also created by the Netherworld Evil Emperor?

While Lu Chen was lost in thought, Chu Yuqin’s body suddenly transformed into a black streak of light, flying towards the distance.

Lu Chen and Yun Yudie hurried to follow, arriving shortly at the place of Yun Yudie’s memory sealing.

Above the black vortex, several flying boats hovered; atop the flying boats were creatures several meters tall, covered entirely in eyeballs. Their bodies varied, taking forms of beasts, humanoids, and some were simply a mass of flesh and blood.

Though their forms differed, without exception, they all had eyeballs. These eyeballs, as if sensing their approach, spun wildly on their bodies. Then, with a synchronized motion, they all fixed their gaze upon Lu Chen and his group, causing a chilling sensation to crawl over one’s scalp.
