Chapter 113: Nine Infants

Lu Chen couldn't understand why Lu Chen could take the poison pill and remain unharmed.

"Could he also be a poison cultivator?"

This roughly explains why, when she used that move, Lu Chen was completely unharmed.

After taking the poison pill, Lu Chen glanced at Luanyue.

If not forced by circumstances, he would say he never wanted to enslave the other party.

Although he himself is also a "ten-thousand-rider," he at least remains within the human realm.

The other party, however, accepts all comers.

Just thinking that he had previously been dual-cultivated by the other party made him feel unclean.

"Let's return to the Wan Yao Tower; I still have a few things to ask you."

Lu Chen spoke slowly, then changed his appearance and returned to the Wan Yao Tower from another place.

He had previously said to let the other party claim he was dead, so naturally he couldn't return openly.

"Yes."

Perhaps due to disdain, he also didn't let Luanyue call him master.

Soon, both returned to the Wan Yao Tower following their respective routes.

As soon as Luanyue Ancestor returned, many sect disciples below cast their gazes upon her.

Several sect elders also flew forward, asking about the circumstances.

"Nothing much, just a thief who dared to attack me, already killed by me."

Luanyue Ancestor spoke lightly, but her tone was somewhat strange.

It seemed she was deliberately lowering her voice, making the elders sense something abnormal.

Sure enough, an elder soon noticed something and couldn't help but ask:

"Ancestor, why does your aura seem unstable? Did something happen?"

Luanyue originally wanted to go along with the other's words to guide them into finding a way to resolve the pulling technique mark on her body.

But the next moment, she unconsciously began to maintain her aura, preventing others from noticing more abnormalities.

"Nothing, just haven't made a move in a long time."

"Disperse, I'm a bit tired."

Luanyue Ancestor waved her hand, and her figure instantly vanished.

The elders looked at each other, wanting to say something, but could only let it go.

The next moment, Luanyue Ancestor returned to her sleeping palace, which at this time had already been repaired by the sect elders using various means.

As she entered the sleeping palace, Lu Chen was already waiting inside.

Before she could speak, the surrounding shielding formation had already been opened.

At the same time, Lu Chen was still checking the room for anything that could threaten him.

"Truly cautious."

Luanyue's eyes carried a hint of wariness.

Normally, a person's knowledge and methods are proportional to their age.

She couldn't help but think that this man in his early twenties actually possessed such means.

"A twenty-year-old who has perfected the Spirit Transformation realm, yet also has the means to enslave me."

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something.

"Could he be the person sent by that one?"

"Or perhaps he is that one's enemy? That is, the person of the female emperor?"

After confirming there was nothing around that could threaten him, Lu Chen calmly sat down on Luanyue Ancestor's bed.

"Come here, let me ask you a few things."

What he wanted to ask was naturally what the female emperor had mentioned regarding the aura of the netherworld.

She absolutely possesses something related to Ming Tianyao on her body.

Moreover, she should have relied on this to cultivate for a long time.

Luanyue Ancestor could not refuse and could only comply by coming before Lu Chen.

"Kneel."

Lu Chen's expression was calm; he is not a gentleman.

Just as the other party had treated him, he naturally would treat them in return.

"Thud!"

The next second, Luanyue Ancestor's legs went weak, and she uncontrollably knelt down.

"You should be quite familiar with the Sect Master of the Tianmo Sect, Youhuang, right?"

"Quite familiar."

Although both are among the Six Great Demon Sects, Youhuang is merely the sect master, while Luanyue is the Ancestor of the Wan Yao Tower.

Their statuses differ, so normally they shouldn't be too close.

But Lu Chen asked this because he had his own speculation.

"Do you know about the matter where he suddenly slaughtered his sect not long ago?"

"I know."

"Then do you know how he cultivated to the Dao Comprehension realm?"

Upon mentioning this, Luanyue Ancestor's heart jolted.

She immediately understood that Lu Chen was indeed related to that senior or the female emperor.

"Through the special treasure left behind by that adult of the Nether Clan."

Luan Yue originally did not want to tell Lu Chen the truth.

But her mouth was uncontrollable.

"You should have one too?" Lu Chen shifted his tone and suddenly asked.

"Mm." Luan Yue responded with a sound, her tone carrying reluctance.

Over these years, she has relied on that treasure to cultivate to her current level, and also relied on it to withstand the heavenly tribulation and break through into the Enlightenment Realm.

"Where?" Lu Chen had previously searched her storage bag and did not find it there.

So he asked this way.

"In...... in my abdomen."

Luan Yue's words were spoken with great hesitation; this object is extremely important to her, and losing it would almost mean cutting off her cultivation path.

If not for being restrained at this moment, even if she self-destructed, she would absolutely not hand this object over.

Unfortunately, she has tried—circulating killing energy is possible, but once she attempts to use killing energy to harm herself or Lu Chen, she is directly stopped.

Originally, the Pulling Technique had no such restriction.

But Lu Chen had considered this.

"This man..."

She clenched her teeth, her expression showing a hint of anger.

"Spit it out." Lu Chen spoke calmly.

"What do you want this object for?" Luan Yue first said, then began trying to regurgitate that special treasure.

"This is not your question to ask."

Lu Chen's expression remained calm.

Beside him, the Empress's soul form had already flown out.

"Such a rich Nether Clan aura—indeed, it is related to the Nether Clan."

Empress Qi Luo's eyes slightly narrowed, her gaze carrying a hint of wariness.

Speaking of which, until now she still cannot figure out why a mere Nether Clan individual could suddenly rise in just a few decades of her seclusion.

From having only a Mandate Realm cultivator within the sect, to being able to oppose her as an Emperor Questioning Realm cultivator.

This question has lingered in her heart for a long time, unresolved.

Soon, Luan Yue spat out that thing.

At this moment, Lu Chen and the Empress finally saw its appearance clearly.

A tooth—strictly speaking, a poisonous fang.

Lu Chen did not recognize what creature this tooth came from, but the Empress recognized it immediately.

"It is actually the poisonous fang of the Nine Infant—no wonder a mere Enlightenment Realm cultivator could condense such a terrifying poison elixir."

The Nine Infant is an ancient demon beast that even the Empress must wary of—human-headed, serpent-bodied, and one level above heavenly demons.

However, it likewise perished in an accident many years ago.

"I never expected the Nine Infant's remains to ultimately be taken by Nether Heaven Yao to forge into a treasure."

The Empress furrowed her brows, then immediately turned her gaze to Lu Chen.

"Take it in—this object is of great importance, and perhaps it can exert special effects at certain times."
