Chapter 1178 - 1203: Zhang Lijuan Awakens

Chu Linfeng observed the reaction of the girl’s soul, further confirming in his heart that the Divine War years ago was undoubtedly related to his father. Perhaps his father was killed by a powerful figure from the Divine Realm, or possibly even by himself.

If this is indeed the case, then he would be her enemy. Realizing this, he felt that he must be extra careful with his words, ensuring not to reveal any flaws that might provoke her hatred, or else obtaining reliable information would be impossible.

"You answer my question first, then I’ll answer yours. Is it possible that you harbor a great hatred towards the Cyan Frost Divine Palace? Why would you travel thousands of miles to the Divine Realm to participate in the Divine War?" Chu Linfeng asked seriously.

"My surname is Hua, and I am called Hua Wuyou. You can call me Princess Wuyou. My father and his companions went to the Divine Realm upon the invitation of the Cyan Frost Divine Palace, to jointly resist the Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm. Initially, it was a sure victory, but unexpectedly, there was a traitor in the Divine Realm who cooperated with the demons.

As a result, the Cyan Frost Divine Venerable fell, and both my father and another Nether Venerable from the Netherworld also met disaster. That Divine War resulted in countless casualties and the demise of many powerful beings, but the identity of the traitor in the Divine Realm remains unknown because everyone who knew the truth perished.

Do you think I have no connection to the Cyan Frost Divine Palace? If it wasn’t for the invitation from the Cyan Frost Divine Venerable to resist the powerful demon invasion, my father and his companions wouldn’t have fallen, and I wouldn’t be here in this soul body. What’s more, I only have two souls now, and I don’t know the whereabouts of the other soul and seven spirits." Hua Wuyou said.

Chu Linfeng’s doubts grew ever more numerous. What exactly happened during the Divine War? Did the people of the Divine Realm collude with those of the Demon Realm to orchestrate such events? Their real aim might have been the Cyan Frost Divine Palace.

And what about the person above the clouds who called himself his senior brother? He should be from the Cyan Frost Divine Palace, so why is he unharmed? Could he be surviving in disgrace? It’s simply impossible.

"Why do you know about the Cyan Frost Divine Palace? Are you from the Cyan Frost Divine Palace?" Hua Wuyou immediately grew angry. It was evident she blamed the Cyan Frost Divine Palace for her father’s death.

"The Cyan Frost Divine Palace is very renowned. In the Divine Realm, it is considered one of the top sects. It’s not surprising that I know about it; it appears in many records. Who would have thought such events occurred during the Divine War? Truly astonishing." Chu Linfeng said.

"You’d better not have any ties to the Cyan Frost Divine Palace, otherwise I won’t spare you. Don’t think that just because I’m a soul body, I can’t make you suffer immensely." Hua Wuyou said.

"Of course not, I haven’t ascended to the Divine Realm, so how could I be related to the Cyan Frost Divine Palace? Did you do something to Lijuan? Why hasn’t she awakened yet?" Chu Linfeng glanced at Zhang Lijuan, who was still unconscious.

"You should realize that without me, this woman of yours won’t wake up. Even if you kill me now, it won’t help. I know you have the ability to kill me, but I will not fear. The only way I’ll save her is if you promise me one condition." Hua Wuyou said.

Chu Linfeng felt a little annoyed. He didn’t expect to be coerced by this soul body, but it seemed Zhang Lijuan really wouldn’t wake up unless he agreed to her demands.

"What’s your demand? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it. But escaping is not an option; I can use Celestial Fire to kill you at any time, and you should be aware of its power." Chu Linfeng said.

"The power of Celestial Fire is indeed strong. But before, I wouldn’t have feared it; not even Divine Fire would frighten me. My condition is very simple, a mere trivial task for you." Hua Wuyou said.

Chu Linfeng glanced at her and smiled, "You mean you want me to take you away from the Netherworld and, if given the chance, return you to your world?"

"You’re very clever, fully capable of reading others’ intentions. That’s exactly what I mean, and I don’t think you have any grounds to refuse." Hua Wuyou said, confidently anticipating Chu Linfeng’s agreement.

"Alright, I promise you! But you must make her wake up immediately, or else I can annihilate you at any moment. You may not fear the Light Element, but you should fear the Dark Element, and the Thunder Element, either of which can end your life." Chu Linfeng said, while purple thunder flickered continuously in his palm.

"A gentleman’s word is as good as a horse’s whip; I trust you won’t go back on your word. However, if you turn out to be someone unreliable, then I suppose I must accept fate." Hua Wuyou said.

"I, Chu Linfeng, am certainly a man of my word. Hurry now and let Lijuan wake up!" Chu Linfeng urged.

Hua Wuyou approached Zhang Lijuan and said, "Remove your Light Element Barrier, as my residual soul can’t withstand such a powerful barrier."

Chu Linfeng focused his mind, and the Light Element surrounding Zhang Lijuan instantly vanished, revealing her true body. Hua Wuyou lightly tapped her forehead, and a green light flew from Zhang Lijuan’s brow into Hua Wuyou’s body.

"What was that?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"That was my Power of Soul, and she should wake up within half a joss stick’s time. You should have a Storage Ring, preferably an empty one; I don’t want to be disturbed." Hua Wuyou said.

"If you enter the Storage Ring, can you still communicate with me? And sense the outside world?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"How do you know these things? Do you have other soul bodies in you?" Hua Wuyou asked.

"No, I just heard about it before. I have a bracelet, and you can enter it. The environment inside is beautiful, and it’s rich in Immortal Spirit Qi, which I stumbled upon by chance." Chu Linfeng said.

"Then I’ll enter your bracelet. I didn’t expect you to have such a rare treasure." Hua Wuyou said.

Chu Linfeng concentrated his Divine Sense on Hua Wuyou, who instantly disappeared from his sight and entered the Reincarnation Bracelet.

Once inside the Reincarnation Bracelet, Hua Wuyou was stunned by the dense Immortal Spirit Qi, "Such powerful Immortal Spirit Power, what kind of bracelet is this to have such vast space? Could it be the legendary Reincarnation Bracelet? How is this possible?" Hua Wuyou said in shock.

Chu Linfeng naturally didn’t know what Hua Wuyou was saying. Inside the Reincarnation Bracelet, it was completely isolated from the outside world, which could prevent many troubles. Otherwise, his identity would eventually be discovered.

He stood quietly before Zhang Lijuan, waiting. Half a joss stick of time seemed endlessly long, making him restless.

Suddenly, Zhang Lijuan’s eyebrows twitched, and she’d slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Chu Linfeng standing before her, her expression abruptly tightened. Before she could speak, she heard Chu Linfeng say, "Lijuan, you’ve finally awakened!"
