Chapter 2128
You will help me, right?
Upon hearing Wu Junwan's words, Xue Linglong calmly said, "It seems that Your Highness has a misunderstanding about our Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Although we are demonic cultivators, we are also human beings, and as long as we are human beings, we will be affected by inner demons."
"However, you are right. Inner demons can indeed raise our level, but that is after we have been possessed by an inner demon. Once we have been possessed by an inner demon, it means that we are already dead."
Do you think I would risk having my self-awareness erased to break the oath I made to my inner demons?
At this moment, Chen Min looked at Wu Junwan and said, "I know that your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Sect have a grudge."
"But before dealing with Lu Chen and his group, I urge Your Majesty to temporarily set aside your personal grudges."
Wu Junwan did not continue speaking.
Seeing that Wu Yunwan remained silent, Chen Min turned her gaze to the leaders of the other factions and finally asked, "Do you also agree with the Heavenly Demon Sect's demands?"
At this moment, the group of people said in unison, "We agree as well."
Chen Min said, "Since everyone agrees, let's make a vow to overcome our inner demons."
Then Chen Min took the lead and said, "I, Chen Min, hereby swear an oath against my inner demons. Before leaving the borderlands, I will never kill any disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Otherwise, I will be haunted by inner demons and never be able to break through."
Seeing Chen Min take the oath, the others followed suit.
At this moment, everyone's attention fell on the red sedan chair where Xue Linglong was.
Their biggest worry now is that Xue Linglong will go back on her word after they made the vow.
However, Xue Linglong doesn't seem to have any intention of going back on her word.
To seal those few Celestial Realm experts, we need the help of these so-called righteous people. Otherwise, with only the disciples of their Heavenly Demon Sect, they wouldn't be able to kill millions of people in a short time and set up the Blood Refining Sealing Array.
Xue Linglong then said, "I hereby swear that before leaving the borderlands, I will never kill a single person from the Central Plains forces, otherwise I will be plagued by inner demons and my cultivation will not be able to advance an inch in this life."
Seeing that Xue Linglong had also sworn an oath, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Xue Linglong said, "Since everyone has already made their vows, let's prepare to set up the Blood Refining Sealing Array."
"However, let me make this clear from the start: if you want the Heavenly Demon Sect to take the blame, the Heavenly Demon Sect can agree, but you can't just stand by and watch; you must lend a hand."
"With just these disciples of our Heavenly Demon Sect, we are not capable of setting up the Blood Refining Sealing Array in a short time."
Chen Min said, "That's natural."
Xue Linglong said, "Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone go back and prepare."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Linglong took the lead and had the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect carry the red sedan chair away from the forest.
After Xue Linglong left, everyone else also left.
Wu Yunwan went directly to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She arrived relatively late and was not very familiar with the situation in the capital, so she wanted to find out more information about the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, especially about Lu Chen.
She was very curious about Lu Chen.
According to the information she obtained about Lu Chen, Lu Chen used to be just a spoiled brat who couldn't even draw spiritual energy into his body; he was just an ordinary person.
As a result, he broke through to become a Heavenly Realm expert in such a short period of time.
It's impossible for a human with such talent to exist in the remote borderlands.
This Lu Chen is likely not the same Lu Chen as before.
Perhaps he has been possessed by some evil spirit, or perhaps someone has impersonated him.
Perhaps this Lu Chen also comes from another realm.
Early morning, the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Heavy breathing filled Ji Yunmeng's bedchamber.
Ji Yunmeng is now completely outmatched by Lu Chen. She can only hope that she can break through to a higher realm as soon as possible and become stronger than Lu Chen. Only then can she defeat Lu Chen and no longer be suppressed by him.
As for now, she should just continue to endure the humiliation; after all, she hasn't lost anything.
Moreover, Lu Chen didn't seem afraid of her becoming stronger at all. During this time, Lu Chen had been using dual cultivation techniques to help her improve her cultivation level.
Strictly speaking, she didn't actually suffer a loss.
Being constantly ridden by a man made her feel utterly humiliated, as an empress.
However, dignity cannot enhance strength.
Anyway, she had already given birth to Lu Chen's child, so she could still endure this humiliation.
At this moment, Lu Chen stopped what he was doing.
He rolled over, letting Ji Yunmeng lie on his chest, their chests rising and falling.
After a long pause, Ji Yunmeng finally spoke, saying, "The fortune of the Great Zhou is declining rapidly. Those foreign forces are a scourge to the Great Zhou, and I intend to drive them all out of the Great Zhou."
Originally, Ji Yunmeng didn't want to pay attention to those people from other regions, since they couldn't enter the so-called ancient ruins either.
However, ever since those forces poured into the Great Zhou and arrived in the capital, the capital has become increasingly chaotic, with conflicts breaking out every day and people fighting fiercely in the city.
Furthermore, since the appearance of that vortex, strange and evil spirits have become increasingly active, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is once again showing signs of impending doom.
Moreover, that scoundrel Lu Chen doesn't care about the affairs of Da Zhou at all; he only knows how to engage in sexual relations all day long, which makes her have less and less time to manage Da Zhou.
Ji Yunmeng felt that if things continued like this, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be gone.
She had finally become emperor, and she didn't want the Great Zhou Dynasty to be destroyed so quickly.
Lu Chen doesn't care about the emperor, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care.
After hearing Ji Yunmeng's words, Lu Chen said, "If you want to do it, then do it."
Lu Chen didn't care about those foreign forces at all; whether Ji Yunmeng drove them away or not was irrelevant to him.
Seeing that Lu Chen had spoken, Ji Yunmeng said, "I will issue an imperial edict tomorrow, ordering them to leave the capital within three days."
Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng's words, Lu Chen said, "If you want to send them away, I won't stop you."
"But you have to be careful of them. Although those foreign forces don't have any Heavenly Realm Spirit Warriors yet, they've traveled thousands of miles to this remote place with sparse spiritual energy, so they must have some trump cards up their sleeves."
"If you push them too far, they might attack you. You need to think this through."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng propped herself up on the soft couch with her arms, slightly raised herself up, looked down into Lu Chen's eyes and asked, "If they really have a trump card, you will help me, right?"
She's Lu Chen's woman, after all. This bastard wouldn't just stand by and watch her be bullied by foreign forces, would he?
And she is also the mother of his child.
The reason she brought this up earlier was partly because Lu Chen had previously announced that all forces could enter the ancient ruins.
If she drove away those foreign forces, it would be tantamount to slapping Lu Chen in the face, so she wanted to see Lu Chen's attitude.
On the other hand, she actually wanted Lu Chen to help her drive out those foreign forces.
She didn't think that becoming a Celestial Realm expert made her invincible.
If it were before, she might have thought that with the strength of the Heavenly Realm, she would be able to secure her position as the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
However, since Lu Chen became a Heavenly Realm expert, she no longer had that kind of thought, and she no longer dared to underestimate the forces of the outer regions.
Seeing Ji Yunmeng's clear and transparent eyes staring straight at him, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "If anyone dares to bully my wife, I will of course help them."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng felt relieved. (End of Chapter)
