Chapter 1561: Stop Pretending

"Are they gone?" Honghou murmured, "Well, it has been several hundred years; the power of history has always been one of constant change and replacement."

"Those people, even if they are gone, it is quite normal, heh, but who would understand the resentment and hatred I have held for these hundreds of years? Who should I seek revenge against?" Honghou muttered to herself, a deep sense of desolation revealing itself in her eyes.

Yes, she had hated for hundreds of years, been imprisoned for hundreds of years; that year, she was locked alive inside a coffin, and all these years, her consciousness had been clear, thinking every moment about how to take revenge.

Now she finally had a chance to see the light of day again, but she felt incredibly lost, because she discovered that the people she hated and resented had long since turned into dry bones; even if she wanted revenge, she did not know who to seek it from.

That feeling was like throwing a punch with all your might into a pile of cotton; it was indescribably uncomfortable.

"Actually, you don't have to be like this at all," Chen Yu said. "What they did back then wasn't wrong. If it were to happen all over again, I think it would still be necessary to lock you in here."

Chen Yu's words stung her deeply, and she suddenly raised her head, staring fixedly at Chen Yu: "You are courting death."

"I am merely stating a fact," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Therefore, no matter how many times you experience certain things, the final result is always the same."

"I did say you were different, but that is not a reason for you to defy me." Honghou turned her head to stare at Chen Yu, and she suddenly laughed: "In my eyes, you are ultimately nothing more than a mortal."

"I am indeed a mortal, but I am not someone you can move against so easily." Chen Yu looked at Honghou: "I came here for only one thing, and that is to lift the Curse on everyone on this island."

"I don't care what else you do; as long as there is no conflict of interest between us, I won't be idle enough to concern myself with you."

"Lift the Curse?" Honghou tilted her head and stared at Chen Yu, then suddenly laughed: "Do you think I can easily lift this Curse? Hehehe, this is the resentment I have built up over hundreds of years; do you think I would lift it easily?"

"Everyone here, every single one of them, must die."

"You're being unreasonable now." Chen Yu spread his hands: "I came here with full sincerity to discuss this matter with you, but you don't seem to have any intention of talking to me."

"Why should I talk to you? What qualifications do you have to discuss these things with me?" Honghou sneered: "In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant."

"Something that gained a bit of power by relying on a contract with a Demon, and now you feel you are high and mighty, right?" Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at her, unable to help but smile: "Should I call you naive, or should I call you ignorant?"

"Don't worry about where my power comes from; this is my power, and for me, wanting to control your life and death is truly too simple."

"Master, let me deal with him." Ye Er gave a sinister smile and stepped forward.

Although he had become an Undead, he felt his state was exceptionally good, and he had never felt so exhilarated before.

The moment Ye Er stepped forward, the Undead Legion behind him raised their heads in unison; their faces were rotting, and an eerie light gleamed in their eyes.

Having just obtained power, Ye Er was impatient to show his loyalty. Although he was now a monster that was neither human nor ghost, the power circulating within his body still made him feel extremely excited.

"You are truly a loyal subordinate. I am going outside to see the sunlight. Deal with this person; it would be best to turn him into one of you. I think his abilities are quite good." Honghou pointed at Chen Yu, then slowly turned around. She took a small step forward and then suddenly vanished from the scene.

She had intended to soar into the sky, but the moment she leaped into mid-air, a barrier suddenly appeared. The barrier descended from the air like a light shield, and upon the light shield, numerous Dharma Seals were slowly rotating.

Honghou let out a shriek and fell heavily to the ground. She raised her head in disbelief, looking at the slowly rotating Dharma Seals in mid-air, feeling both shocked and furious.

"There are plenty of ways to deal with you." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Your strength is not even as good as Jiutun's. At least Jiutun's power came from himself. What about you? You contracted an unknown Demon, and he couldn't even come to this world. At best, you are only at the level of a slightly high-end Great Demon. You're nothing more than someone who can turn people into Undead; do you really think so highly of yourself?"

Indeed, Chen Yu had been bickering with her for so long and discovered that her level was truly average, so he couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. If they could talk, they would talk; if not, he would just seal her back up and put her away.

"Who exactly are you? To be able to set up a Dharma Array to deal with me?" Honghou gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Yu, her expression furious.

She had thought that after waking up, she would be able to accomplish something, but she never expected that before she could even walk out of this Mountain cave, she would encounter a ruthless person like Chen Yu. This was something she had not anticipated.

"A Dharma Cultivator from the East. You really shouldn't be so arrogant. Heh, at best you are a minor character. Want to subvert this world? You don't even make the list." Chen Yu shook his head.

Honestly, the reason some of the big shots in Dragon Breath are so busy is because there are too many people like Honghou, and they have to deal with them one by one, but Honghou really doesn't make the list; she is too weak.

Honghou's face was cold. She slowly crawled up from the ground and said sharply: "Tear him into pieces, now."

"I will remember your teachings, Master." A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Er's terrifying face. He bowed deeply and then raised his head. The moment he raised his head, a cold light gleamed in his eyes: "Chong..."

The Undead Legion behind him shouted in unison and slowly marched forward. Their lifeless, rotting, and stiff faces looked extremely terrifying.

"Mr. Chen, what should we do?" Qishu was trembling with fear on the side.

Although he had explored countless tombs in his life, the most Walking Corpses he had ever encountered were seven or eight, and his group had to risk their lives to resolve the situation.

But this time, there were hundreds of Undead, and these people were impervious to blades and spears. What could they do? Even if these people just stood there and let him kill them, his hands would go numb before he could finish them all.

"They are just Walking Corpses stripped of their Spirit and Life. Don't take them too seriously." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Step back, and let me show you how I solve problems."

Qishu nodded, took a fearful look at the massive, oncoming Undead, and stepped back.
