Chapter 2563 - 2253: You Want Me to Personally Go to the Border Wilderness?

Chu Yuqin herself is already on Lu Chen’s side, if Lu Chen were to seize the Memory Pearls from her, it would push her to the opposing side.

Chu Yuqin now only has two Memory Pearls on her, there’s no need to make an enemy of her over two Pearls.

Moreover, she is the bridge for Lu Chen to communicate with other Ancestors of the Strange.

If even Chu Yuqin were to stand against him, then it would be even more difficult for him to maintain good relationships with other Ancestors of the Strange in the future.

Now, some Ancestors of the Strange have already regained their memories, and others might find their Memory Pearls before he does.

His speed in regaining power is indeed fast, but the rate at which the Ancestors of the Strange regain their power is not slow either.

As long as the Ancestors of the Strange have complete memories, they can endlessly generate Mysterious Power within themselves, with no need for cultivation.

Lu Chen thought about it for a moment and decided it’s better to engage the Ancestors of the Strange openly in trade rather than resort to schemes and conspiracies for the time being, especially with the Red Flower Sedan as a backup.

If even with the Red Flower Sedan as insurance, he can’t establish new collaborations with the Ancestors of the Strange, once they leave this world and he no longer has the Red Flower Sedan, he and the Ancestors of the Strange would once again be at odds.

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin felt a slight stir inside.

Closest person? Does Lu Chen consider her his closest person?

Is it true?

Does he really think that way?

Or is he just trying to fool her? This little rascal loves to deceive women.

Lu Chen gazed into Chu Yuqin’s eyes, speaking affectionately: "Even though you’re a Clone of the Ancestor of the Strange, you were also the first person I liked."

When he was in the Spirit Realm, Lu Chen spent most of his time in cultivation, never developing feelings for any woman. It was only after entering the Burial Furnace, with his memory sealed, that he truly found someone he liked.

Being stared at so intently by Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin suddenly felt her body become restless, reminding her of those ambiguous times with Lu Chen in the Burial Furnace.

The little rascal’s eyes seemed to have a special magic power, every time she was gazed upon by those affectionate eyes, her heart would flutter.

After a moment, Chu Yuqin regained her composure, and she tried to control her emotions, saying indifferently: "You have just made a breakthrough and need to stabilize your Realm, I won’t disturb you any longer."

With these words, Chu Yuqin turned and left, as if she was fleeing.

Watching Chu Yuqin’s retreating figure, Lu Chen let out a faint smile.

It seems sincerity really is a killer move, even the Mysterious cannot resist.

Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

After the arrival of Eternal Night, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land also suffered from the impact of the Deceit Tide, fortunately, before Eternal Night arrived, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land had already activated its Formation.

Although many Mortal Cities under its control were destroyed, the overall loss to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land wasn’t significant.

This time’s Eternal Night seemed to be less perilous compared to the past.

In the high sky of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, two stunning women hovered side by side, looking into the distance.

One woman had her hair in a high ponytail, holding a long spear in her hand, wearing white armor, looking valiant and heroic.

Beside her, another woman wore a red long dress, with her black hair cascading down her jade-like back, her expression cold and detached, exuding an aura of aloof nobility, as if rejecting everyone from a thousand miles away.

The woman holding the spear was named Dongfang Longyue, and the woman in red was Li Qianrou.

Both had entered the Emperor Realm and were ancestors of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

The two hadn’t gone out for many years, initially, during this Eternal Night, they didn’t plan to leave seclusion either, but a few days ago, they sensed someone spying on the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, and that prying aura woke them from their slumber, making both women decide to emerge and see just who was spying on the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

But after their investigations, they found the other party had already blocked the Heavenly Mechanism.

At this moment, Dongfang Longyue said to Li Qianrou: "It’s been a long time, and that person hasn’t spied on the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land again, maybe he was scared by you."

Li Qianrou looked in the direction of the Border Wilderness, asking: "What do you think he was so brazenly spying on the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land for?"

Dongfang Longyue thought for a moment, then said: "Perhaps to see how many Emperor Realm figures have come out of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land for this Eternal Night."

Li Qianrou said: "It doesn’t seem like it. It seems he was searching for something."

Back then, that sense of spying wasn’t focused on them, but swept over the entire Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Upon reaching the Emperor Realm, one can perceive some Laws of this world, and after coming out of seclusion, Li Qianrou sensed a trace of Power of Heavenly Mechanism.

Through the remaining Power of Heavenly Mechanism, she found the other party seemed to be deducing something.

Dongfang Longyue said: "Then it’s likely the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land doesn’t have what he’s looking for, otherwise he wouldn’t remain inactive for so long."

Even though they are both in the Emperor Realm and can sense someone spying on the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, with their understanding of the Laws, it’s difficult to deduce the location of the other party in reverse.

So even if others blatantly deduce the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, they can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

If the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land truly had what he was looking for, the other party wouldn’t have only spied once.

At this point, Li Qianrou said: "Do you feel that the spiritual evil in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land has been getting thicker?"

Ever since the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land was spied upon, the concentration of spiritual evil in it has been steadily increasing.

Upon noticing the anomaly of the spiritual evil, Li Qianrou personally sought the reason, but months have passed, and she has yet to find the specific reason for the increase in spiritual evil concentration, it seemed as if the spiritual evil were magically producing themselves.

Hearing Li Qianrou’s words, Dongfang Longyue was startled, then said: "Could it be that you suspect this matter is related to that person?"

Li Qianrou said: "I just feel that person probably knows something."

Dongfang Longyue said: "I heard there’s a force named Tianji Pavilion in Central State, whose Pavilion Master can deduce all future events, why don’t we consult with the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion after Eternal Night ends, to see who that person is and what he’s looking for."

Li Qianrou said: "Alright."

...

Wind and Cloud Tower.

In the hall, a white-haired woman lay reclined on the Ice Crystal Throne of the Tower Master.

The woman’s skin is white and smooth like porcelain, like a delicate work of art, her light purple eyes emitting an enchanting glow, making it hard for one to look directly at them.

Tower Master Qin Lichuan stood in the hall, reporting the events before the Eternal Night.

Qin Lichuan looked very nervous at the moment, because sitting above was the Supreme Elder of their Wind and Cloud Tower, the previous Tower Master, and also his Honored Master.

His Honored Master always had a bad temper and was very strict with him, even now as Qin Lichuan is a strong Saint Realm, standing in front of Yun Xianxian, he still feels apprehensive.

Yun Xianxian looked at Qin Lichuan with a cold expression, asking: "From what you said, you want this seat to personally go to the Border Wilderness?"

Yun Xianxian had only recently exited seclusion, and upon discovering the limited danger of this Eternal Night, she planned to return to seclusion early and no longer interfere with the affairs of Wind and Cloud Tower, but Qin Lichuan approached her, telling her that a Spirit Martial Artist of the Emperor Realm in the Border Wilderness had killed a Saint Realm from their Wind and Cloud Tower, and claimed this person was terrifying.

The implications were that she, the Supreme Elder, should personally go to the Border Wilderness to deal with that person.

This displeased Yun Xianxian greatly, she, a dignified Emperor Realm strong figure, was being asked to face a person in the Emperor Realm, who was also merely a Border Desolate Native.
