Chapter 130: Li Yu, Controller of the First Undead Woman
When Li Yu's Truth Soul Body returned to his own physical form.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a scene that could be described as an unparalleled beauty, and witnessed with his own eyes the young nun Miaochang, her face twisted in a dazed, obsessive expression, sitting atop him and continuing to tug at his clothes.
If anyone else were to display such an expression, it would appear perverted and ugly.
But Miaochang released a kind of forbidden allure that made one's heart stir.
Up until now!
Of all the allure Li Yu had encountered since he began cultivating, her posture was the first.
Whether it was the Pistil Flower Demon, the courtesan jade maiden, or the Yang-Eating Crone, none could compare to her.
And the shocking sensation of the young nun's fragrant, soft, and exquisite body sitting on his waist, which came in the next moment, nearly made Li Yu "deliver the goods" on the spot.
"This wretched little nun!"
"I wouldn't mind if something happened, but I'm afraid that once you wake up, your Buddha-heart will collapse, and you'll mutate and die on the spot."
Li Yu muttered in his heart, then reached out his hands to support the young nun Miaochang's soft waist.
Resisting the desires rising in his mind, he used great willpower to forcibly hold her away.
Afterwards, while haphazardly putting clothes back on Miaochang, he no longer gave the Undead Woman a chance to cast curse contamination.
He suddenly spoke, using the Demon Speech Art to shout:
"I invite the Daughter of the Vortex God to appear and meet me."
Once these four words of honor were spoken, the dense crowd of Undead Women before Li Yu seemed to hear some special command.
They all froze in unison, then began to merge with one another.
Extremely naturally, they absorbed and integrated.
In the blink of an eye!
Before Li Yu, only one Undead Woman remained.
She was completely different from any of the previous ones.
Although her appearance remained as mysterious and charming as before, the aura of curses and contamination was a hundred times more intense than before.
But in her eyes, there was not a trace of perverted obsession.
What was there was a wisdom that had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
At the same time, a pleasant scream reached Li Yu's ears.
Turning his head, he saw the young nun Miaochang with a look of collapse, her hands clutching her chest, as if she couldn't believe what she had done.
Her snow-white body visibly began to turn red, rising all the way to the top of her head, almost as if hot steam were about to emerge.
Seeing her like this, Li Yu was once again glad he had stopped her quickly.
If that mistake had truly been made, once she regained consciousness, Miaochang would surely have mutated and died on the spot.
"Brother Ren Shou... I... it wasn't me..."
"Don't panic, don't panic. I know it was caused by that curse contamination. You are a Bhikkhuni, not a Yang-Eating Crone; how could you be so reckless in normal times?"
"Rest assured, besides me, no third person will ever know."
"Who says so? Sister here saw it all very clearly."
Li Yu was just comforting Miaochang when a voice suddenly interjected from the side.
He saw the fully merged "First Undead Woman," who seemed to have finished accepting the memories of all the split individuals, approaching the two with a mysterious smile.
A terrifying danger surged wildly toward them.
A thought couldn't help but arise in both their hearts: "This strange object cannot be provoked; we will die."
This thought arose almost instinctively.
It stemmed from the fear low-sequence cultivators have for high-sequence powerhouses.
Although because the 【Vortex God Path】 was incomplete, the First Undead Woman was locked at Sequence 6.
But her true strength was at least Sequence 5, and Li Yu even suspected it was more.
Such an existence, even in Wanfu City, could walk sideways within a region.
The red heat on Miaochang's body gradually faded due to fear.
But soon she realized that the gaze of this true Undead Woman only glanced at her lightly before turning to stare at Brother Ren Shou with intense curiosity.
"Outsider, I am curious, how did you know my honorific name?"
"So many years have passed, you are the first person to forcibly awaken me. But since you know of my existence, aren't you afraid of death?"
"You have the ability to resist those split individuals of mine and remain uncontaminated. Although it was a bit troublesome, it wouldn't be hard at all to save your life in this Wo Nation. You might even be the only outsider to survive this invasion."
"But awakening me is different. I don't need to contaminate you to kill you."
"Is it for this little nun? How touching."
When these words were uttered, Li Yu hadn't yet responded.
Miaochang, beside him, was immediately moved.
She disregarded the difference between men and women, hugged Li Yu's arm tightly, and tears flickered in her eyes.
It was the second time!
Judging by Miaochang's expression, the Buddha-nature in her had likely faded quite a bit more.
Seeing this, the First Undead Woman immediately revealed a brilliant smile after her prank succeeded.
Clearly, she had done it on purpose.
This woman was a high-sequence strange object; besides that curse contamination which could be called an unsolvable rule, she also possessed divine abilities including mind-reading.
Her temperament was a kind of malice filled with primitive meaning.
In short, she was willful and did as she pleased.
Having just awakened, she saw through Miaochang's somewhat strange state at a glance and chose to give her a push.
Li Yu sensed this and knew he couldn't let this Undead Woman continue to destroy Miaochang's Buddha-heart, otherwise his "Duke of Lu" behavior from just now would have been wasted. He immediately spoke, attracting the Undead Woman's attention:
"I awakened you, Senior, to discuss a deal, a deal concerning the safety of your mother."
"What did you say?"
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yu spoke, the First Undead Woman, who had intended to continue toying with the young nun, suddenly turned her head to look at Li Yu.
The word "mother" seemed to be her taboo.
A more terrifying and dangerous aura than ever before overflowed from her body.
Fierce light flickered in her eyes, and Li Yu had no doubt that if he didn't provide a good explanation next, he would be killed in an instant.
However, Li Yu was not afraid at all; to him, strength was not scary.
A powerful strange object that was unknown and impossible to communicate with—that was what was scary.
Satisfying the first two, Li Yu had great confidence that he could form a kind of "control" over her, even if this behavior looked very much like walking on thin ice, extremely dangerous and prone to flipping over at any moment.
What is an Alchemist?
=9+Book_Bar
This is it.
So Li Yu didn't explain directly, but said again:
"If you, Senior, agree to protect the two of us, I will tell you the reason."
"Time is tight. If you, Senior, delay any longer, your mother will likely fall into the hands of a brutal outsider."
"He came prepared, and the death barrier outside that ruin might not be able to stop him."
"Hmm?"
Finally, when Li Yu mentioned the key term "death barrier."
The First Undead Woman completely believed him and also began to panic a little.
At this moment, she also suddenly remembered that besides these two, there were still many outsiders alive.
And because all her previous split individuals, out of jealousy, had been entangled with Li Yu, the prey, the other outsiders had all gained a breathing space, and without exception, they were all rushing toward the ruin.
Now she was stretched thin and truly couldn't intercept and kill them all one by one.
She had to speak immediately, promising in a mysterious tone:
"I promise you, speak."
Li Yu, as an Alchemist proficient in Demon Speech and God-Playing arts, knew upon hearing this that the First Undead Woman was promising in the name of her mother, which was completely credible.
So the next moment, he didn't play coy anymore and said directly:
"Senior, you absorbed the memories of all the split individuals, so you should remember an outsider who is a Sequence 6 mechanical body."
"He comes from a powerful organization called 【Sacred Nest】, and behind him is a True God called 'Ancient Saint.' All believers follow the flesh modification and experimental research of all things in the world, determined to create new strange arts and new sublimation paths... and he entered here this time specifically for your mother."
"The divinity in your mother's flesh is an excellent experimental subject for the Sacred Nest."
"That mechanical outsider named 'Shang Yang' has combat power that is by no means as simple as Sequence 6; he must be carrying extraordinary high-tier strange objects or weapons."
"And the death barrier outside your mother's sleeping place, although it can absorb all life forms, what if it's a mechanical construct?"
"If your mother doesn't wake up in time, I'm afraid..."
A mix of truth and lies was uttered from Li Yu's mouth.
In this, except for the key points which Li Yu fabricated.
Every other sentence was true, logically self-consistent, and highly credible.
It couldn't even be said that Li Yu fabricated it, but rather guessed it.
As for directing the "disaster" toward Shang Yang!
Li Yu felt absolutely no burden doing it.
The two sides were mortal enemies, and it would be foolish not to strike when finding an opportunity.
"Shang Yang, this guy, specifically locked onto the 【Wo Nation Mystic Domain】 in advance; he definitely didn't just come to kill me, there must be other conspiracies."
"And in this mystic domain, the only things the Sacred Nest could be eyeing are the First Undead Woman before me and her sleeping mother."
"This guess is reasonable and logical; it might even be entirely correct."
As Li Yu thought this in his heart.
After the First Undead Woman heard this, she also directly extracted memories, waved her hand, and a distorted vortex emerged. Inside, what was projected and appeared was Shang Yang's performance when he was previously bewitched.
He saw his mechanical eyes dull, and a cold mechanical voice kept sounding: "I want to dissect you... study you... I want to take the evil god's flesh back... experimental modification... I want to dissect..."
Although only a sentence or two were leaked by accident, all three heard it clearly.
The reason the previous Undead Woman split individuals didn't react when they heard it was because she was a rule-based strange object at that time and had no wisdom.
At this moment, it was exposed.
Even Li Yu himself couldn't help but be startled.
It was actually completely guessed by him!
Shang Yang, this guy, actually had such a big plot this time?
Advancing to Sequence 6 and spawning troops wasn't enough; he even intended to take the evil god's flesh back to the Sacred Nest.
"Damn outsider, how dare you eye my mother; I will cut you to pieces."
Amidst the cursing, the First Undead Woman suddenly waved her hand again.
A fresh vortex portal appeared immediately.
On the other side of the door, it was clearly a very distant place, that core ruin that seemed to be isolated by nothingness.
And at this moment!
Almost all the surviving Command Lords and Reincarnators were gathered outside the ruin.
They simultaneously witnessed a modified army of flesh and machinery, fearlessly passing through the extremely terrifying death barrier outside the ruin. At the very front, it was indeed that majestic mechanical powerhouse with a scarlet cape fluttering, Shang Yang.
This scene instantly caused the killing intent on the First Undead Woman to climb to its peak.
