Chapter 2261 Despicable Collaboration

The Nuwa clone wanted to kill Li Yunhuo, but she also knew that no one else could help her continue cultivating except Li Yunhuo.

Li Yunhuo’s greatest value lay not in how much cultivation he had, but in his ability to communicate with the power of the heavenly tribulation, allowing the Nuwa clone to obtain some power not belonging to the universe, enabling her to battle Ye Fan.

“Are you really not afraid I’ll kill you?” The Nuwa clone said angrily.

“Why would I send you? Haha, do you think I don’t know? You battled Ye Fan and ended up defeated, which must have been a significant blow to you, right? If you cannot kill Ye Fan, it’s like putting yourself in a dead end. Right now, Ye Fan might not be using all his energy to deal with you, but once he resolves the heavenly tribulation, do you have the ability to escape from Ye Fan with your current cultivation?” Li Yunhuo said confidently.

The Nuwa clone replied, “So you had already predicted I would save you?”

“I never thought I would be kidnapped by Xi He, why would I think you’d save me?” Li Yunhuo said angrily, “I’ve granted you such high cultivation, but my own cultivation can’t even subdue Xi He, do you think this is something to be proud of? Now I’m giving you a choice, either listen to me and let me restrict you—I’ll help you kill Ye Fan, letting you become the creator of the entire universe’s order. But if you don’t listen to me, I’ll drag you down with me, as I don’t want to live either. If my death can bring changes in the heavenly tribulation and lead to Ye Fan’s demise, perhaps my mission would be fulfilled.”

Though very angry, the Nuwa clone did not retaliate against Li Yunhuo because she was merely a spiritual body.

After a long time, the Nuwa clone seemed to have figured it out, she said, “Since you want to kill Ye Fan, I can help you, but you want to control me… that’s something I cannot accept.”

“You want me to use you to kill Ye Fan?” Li Yunhuo said disdainfully, “Now there are only two paths left, either cooperate or kill me. I don’t want to waste any more words with you!”

The Nuwa clone said, “If that’s the case, may I know what method you plan to use to control me in order to achieve your goal?”

“Haha, do you think just because you’re a spiritual body, I can’t control you? In fact, it is a kind of contract. I can control the daughter of Leizu, precisely because of this; otherwise, why would I start cooperating with you in the first place? Isn’t that unnecessary? Hmm! I didn’t expect you to betray me after gaining cultivation, so I must retaliate appropriately!” Li Yunhuo appeared to be completely unafraid of the Nuwa clone killing him, speaking with an air of arrogance.

“Alright then, I’m curious to see just how powerful your soul contract can be!”

The Nuwa clone knows she must cooperate with Li Yunhuo; otherwise, Ye Fan’s cultivation would kill him, leaving no chance for a fair fight, and threatening the women around Ye Fan wouldn’t be of significant meaning either.

“This kind of contract also requires your consent— I must fully control the attributes of your cultivation strength, and as long as you continue to cultivate, it’s tantamount to saying your lifeline is in my hands. I can help you achieve, but can also destroy you at any time; this is exactly like the Blood Oath effect among the ancient cultivators. Are you willing to accept it?” Li Yunhuo said.

The Nuwa clone said, “Why waste words? If I must cultivate, then let’s get started, I too want to see if your contract can indeed control me!”

…

…

Li Yunhuo began to operate a contractual array, within which Nuwa had to inject her power.

Nuwa felt her life was in Li Yunhuo’s hands even though it was temporary; she knew that accepting the contract meant Li Yunhuo would control everything about her.

Soon, the contract was completed. Although Nuwa didn’t feel any physical anomaly, she still felt a great danger because Li Yunhuo’s cultivation had evidently increased a notch.

“Very well!” Li Yunhuo first closed his eyes to absorb some energy, then opened them and said, “Thanks to this array, not only have I grasped your cultivation attributes, but I also gained a promotion in cultivation. Rest assured, you will soon compensate for the lost cultivation, from now on, you’ve already become my servant.”

The Nuwa clone sneered, “You are overly confident, thinking that by grasping my lifeline, I will obey you completely?”

“You!” Li Yunhuo discovered that he couldn’t completely control the Nuwa clone, even though he could make her die at any moment, it still posed no real threat.

“What, are you thinking of eliminating me now? Haha, doing so would only be aiding Ye Fan—I’m almost sorry for you!” the Nuwa clone said.

Li Yunhuo said, “So be it; I don’t need a servant like you, you can’t even help me with anything. From now, I can teach you how to absorb that powerful force, enabling you to possess the ability to battle Ye Fan, which only you can absorb. You must ensure that once you absorb the power, you share it with me at all times. In cultivation, it is supposed to be mutually beneficial; if you wish to monopolize it, I will ensure you die without a place for burial!”

“Fine!” the Nuwa clone nodded.

“To avoid being detected by Ye Fan, we must also go to a safe place—the entire universe isn’t exactly a safe place, but I know a place Ye Fan will never expect.” Li Yunhuo said.

The Nuwa clone asked, “Where is that?”

“Of course, it’s Earth.” Li Yunhuo said, “Ye Fan is guarding against us destroying Earth, but he has no way to prevent us from infiltrating Earth, thereby allowing us to gain more leverage. If Ye Fan continues to threaten us, we can threaten him with Earth’s safety, which is a very good strategy.”

The Nuwa clone sneered, “Seems like you have no dignity and are quite despicable.”

Li Yunhuo angrily said, “You imprisoned the women around Ye Fan, isn’t that equally despicable? Are you coming with me?”

“Let’s go!” The Nuwa clone seemed unwilling to quibble with Li Yunhuo, and the two headed towards Earth together.

After arriving on Earth, Li Yunhuo directly took the Nuwa clone to Antarctica and said, “This is exactly where Ye Fan imprisoned me; he thought I wouldn’t escape, but didn’t expect his own people to let me out!”

“How does one absorb power?” Nuwa angrily disregarded matters about how Li Yunhuo escaped.

“You must use the women around Ye Fan; they’re the ones who can establish a communication channel, and it must be specific people. Are you still controlling the previous women?” Li Yunhuo said.

The Nuwa clone replied, “Some have already escaped.”
