Chapter 2126
Did you already know there was no treasure inside?
The ruins have just been opened. Although all the forces have already noticed, they are some distance from the imperial mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty and it will take them some time to get there.
Only spies from certain foreign forces have arrived today; the main disciples of those foreign forces have not yet come.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua became even more confused. Could it be that what he said was true?
But Lu Chen isn't some kind of ghost or evil spirit, so how did he get in?
Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua asked, "Why were you able to get in?"
This guy had told her earlier at the entrance to the ruins that he could go in because he was a Celestial Realm cultivator, but now he's telling her that only he and the eerie evil spirits can go in, and even Celestial Realm cultivators can't.
If the Heavenly Realm is no good, then how did he get out of there just now?
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Because of my special physical condition."
Pei Shuhua frowned immediately. What could be the reason for this?
She didn't believe that.
But Lu Chen was unwilling to talk about it, and there was nothing she could do about it. So, she could only wait for the disciples from the outer regions to arrive.
Once the disciples from those foreign forces arrive, let's see if they can enter the ruins.
Pei Shuhua thought to herself, if it really was as Lu Chen said, that only he and the strange evil spirits could enter, then she would have to find a way to get the strange evil spirits to help her obtain the inheritance, or she would have to make a deal with Lu Chen to see if she could get him to help their Qionghua Holy Land obtain the ancient inheritance inside.
But the ancient inheritance is so important. If Lu Chen really obtained the ancient inheritance, would he hand it over to their Qionghua Holy Land?
Most likely not.
That's a legacy left behind by an ancient powerful being. Lu Chen is already at the Heavenly Realm; the next step is the King Realm.
Wang Jing was considered a powerful figure even in Zhongzhou. The ancient inheritance was of paramount importance to Lu Chen, and its allure to him was unimaginable.
It seems they can only wait for the restrictions on the borderlands to be lifted and for the elders of the Qionghua Holy Land to personally talk to Lu Chen.
After a moment of silence, Pei Shuhua asked again, "Since you were able to enter the ancient ruins, why didn't you go to search for the ancient inheritance, but instead came out so early?"
Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "I have no interest in the ancient heritage inside. I'm just responsible for sending Ji Yunmeng in."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua's heart skipped a beat.
She quickly asked, "His Majesty went in too? How was she able to go in? Didn't you just say that only strange and evil spirits could enter, besides you?"
Lu Chen said directly, "Yes, our Emperor isn't human."
Lu Chen wasn't afraid to tell Pei Shuhua Ji Yunmeng's identity, since it wouldn't affect them anyway.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua was completely stunned.
Not only were the three women not human, but she also didn't know them well and had no idea who they were.
As a result, Lu Chen actually told her that Emperor Ji Yunmeng was not human.
Is this guy really just messing with me?
Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua stared at Lu Chen's eyes with suspicion, trying to see if he was lying.
However, Lu Chen's eyes were deep and calm, and it was impossible to tell that he was deceiving himself.
But Lu Chen's words were too absurd.
Just then, Lu Chen smiled and said to Pei Shuhua, "Actually, not only our Emperor, but you are not human either."
Seeing that Lu Chen's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Pei Shuhua's face instantly darkened.
What is that bastard saying?
If we're talking about who's least human, he's the least human.
Pei Shuhua felt extremely angry just thinking about how this guy used to mess with her.
This beast actually has the nerve to say she's not human.
After sensing Pei Shuhua's anger, Lu Chen calmly said, "Wait a while, go to that vortex and you'll see. Maybe you can get in too."
Pei Shuhua looked at Lu Chen speechlessly.
This guy probably wouldn't send me to my death, would he?
After all, she is now Lu Xinxin's mother and has a child.
If she, as the mother, were to die, wouldn't Lu Xinxin be without a mother?
Who will take care of Lu Xinxin then? Does Lu Chen really want to leave the mother and child behind? That's unlikely.
If Lu Chen wanted to leave his mother and son, he would have done it directly. Why would he fabricate such a lie to lure himself to his death?
With Lu Chen's strength, killing her would be no different than crushing an ant.
Could it be that Lu Chen wasn't lying to him?
Can I really get into those ruins?
If that's the case, then why didn't Lu Chen let him enter the ruins before, but instead brought him back?
At this moment, Pei Shuhua looked into Lu Chen's eyes and asked, "You mean, I can also enter that ruin alive?"
Lu Chen said, "Of course."
Pei Shuhua asked coldly, "Then why did you bring me back just now?"
Lu Chen said, "You just gave birth, and you still have a baby crying for milk. If you go to a place like that, what will happen to the baby if something happens? Who knows what dangers are inside those ruins."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua became even more furious.
So that's what this guy was thinking.
No, she has to go in quickly too; she can't let the ancient heritage fall into the hands of others.
With that thought in mind, Pei Shuhua prepared to leave.
However, just as she was about to leave the room, she felt a powerful pressure enveloping her.
Pei Shuhua subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu Chen. Seeing Lu Chen staring at her with a smile, Pei Shuhua clenched her fist slightly. She knew that this guy wouldn't let her go.
Lu Chen said, "Others can enter Qionghua Holy Land, but you can't. Before the child grows up, you can only stay in the palace to take care of Xin Xin."
Seeing that Lu Chen had made his point clear, Pei Shuhua asked, "Are you afraid that I will obtain the ancient inheritance?"
Lu Chen said, "You can think of it that way too."
Pei Shuhua snorted coldly and stopped wasting words with Lu Chen.
She then went back to the bedside to see the children.
That bastard, he won't let her in if he doesn't want her to.
Once the borderlands' restrictions are lifted and people from the Qionghua Holy Land come to the borderlands, he won't be able to get her to plead for him.
Lu Chen stayed in the palace all night, waiting for Ji Yunmeng to return.
Early the next morning, Lu Chen sensed Ji Yunmeng's presence. She had just returned to her palace when Lu Chen appeared at her door.
Seeing no joy on Ji Yunmeng's face, Lu Chen asked, "How was it? Did you find the treasure you needed inside?"
Ji Yunmeng asked coldly, "Did you already know there was no treasure inside?"
This guy left that realm without hesitation, clearly knowing there was nothing good inside, otherwise why would he leave so decisively?
She wandered around inside all night, but apart from some medicinal herbs, there was nothing else. The only useful thing in the ruins was spiritual energy, which was very abundant. Inside, one could absorb spiritual energy to temper one's body without using the Ghost Pearl.
Lu Chen said, "From what you're saying, there's nothing inside?"
Ji Yunmeng said coldly, "Didn't you already know that?"
Lu Chen, that bastard, is such a good actor. He knows perfectly well that there's nothing inside, but he pretends not to know.
The thought that the only treasure in the ruins had fallen into Lu Chen's hands made Ji Yunmeng even angrier.
Just as Ji Yunmeng was burning with anger, Lu Chen walked towards her, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, you must be tired after working all night. Let me take good care of you and give you a massage."
At this point, Lu Chen put his arm around her and walked towards the bed.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng instantly lost her temper. (End of Chapter)
