Chapter 283: Ways to Restrain the Vampire Lanbo

Su Chen pursed his lips; in truth, he had also asked himself this question in his heart.

If he hadn't been too flamboyant in his actions, provoking that mermaid's jealousy, would that mermaid not have done something foolish? Would the Mermaid Race not have brought upon themselves a catastrophic disaster? If they had never come here, the Human race would not have perished so quickly; as long as they persevered, although life was difficult, they would at least still be alive.

Are they sinners?

Luo Shen pursed her lips and couldn't help but say, "This has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame someone, blame that traitor of the Mermaid Race who was blinded by greed; he harmed the entire race for his own selfish desires."

"But if it weren't for us, all of this might not have happened."

Upon hearing this, Natasha said with guilt, her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow.

"It would have been something else even without you. His mind was fickle and prone to jealousy. You made many efforts to make the Mermaid Race better; it was he who didn't know what was good for him. You cannot attribute his mistakes to yourselves."

Luo Shen said softly, her words carrying a hint of comfort.

After Su Chen and Natasha returned to the Mermaid Race, everything they did was beneficial to the Mermaid Race, and they never brought even a shred of trouble. Yet that Mermaid Race youth not only repaid kindness with enmity but even went so far as to commit betrayal.

He clearly knew how much effort the Mermaid Race had put into evading Lanbo's tracking, yet he still brought him back to the Mermaid Race without hesitation. Such a person is not only stupid but also brainless.

Natasha sobbed in a low voice, and in the end, she couldn't say a single word.

Although the logic was sound, it still had to do with her; how could she let it go so easily? Su Chen clenched his fists, his gaze looking far into the distance, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Zhuyue, do you have any understanding of that Lanbo? If you were to face him, what are your chances of winning?"

Yi Zhuyue also felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she was someone who was not good with words, so she had remained silent. Now, suddenly hearing Su Chen's words, she hadn't yet reacted.

However, she soon shook her head and said with a grave expression, "If I were to face him, I fear I wouldn't even have a fifty percent chance of winning. He has progressed even faster than I imagined. It seems many Spirit Beasts in the Western Wasteland have already fallen victim to his hands. Although his cultivation is the same as mine—both are Half-step Great Emperor—his true strength should completely surpass mine."

Such news undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to everyone's hearts.

Everyone's expressions could not be called pleasant.

"Although he cannot reach the true Great Emperor Realm under the constraints of the laws in this continent, his strength can definitely rival a Great Emperor. The gap between him and me is simply too large; at most, I could only delay him for some time."

Yi Zhuyue continued to add, the expression on her face not looking good.

Back in the Immortal World, this Lanbo was never an honest person; he would often think of crooked ways to improve his cultivation.

It was just that most people in the Immortal World back then were powerful and came from orthodox cultivation backgrounds, while Lanbo, as a member of the Blood Clan, although he had a human form, to put it bluntly, was no different from those Spirit Beast bloodlines, so naturally, he couldn't get any advantage.

Now that he has come here, the vast disparity in cultivation has made him unscrupulous. Coupled with the lack of anyone to restrain him, his methods are even more atrocious and devoid of humanity.

It just so happens that the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor has never had much restraint regarding this. After all, in his eyes, as long as his subordinates' cultivation improves and it doesn't hinder his interests, any method is fine.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhuyue couldn't help but curse angrily in her heart. Sure enough, what kind of person brings out what kind of goods; he himself is not a good thing, and none of his subordinates are any better.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was once a member of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor's subordinates.

"Does that Lanbo have any weaknesses?"

Su Chen nodded. Although he had already realized what Yi Zhuyue said, hearing her say it himself still made his mood somewhat heavy. "A common ailment of the Blood Clan is the fear of sunlight and an extreme fear of things that are True Yang and pure. This can greatly weaken his strength. For example, today is not a Blood Moon Night, so the Yang Qi is very heavy, which has a partial impact on his cultivation."

Yi Zhuyue thought carefully and said faintly.

"Then, do my Divine Dragon Martial Soul and the Dragon Race's Dragon Flame Fierce Fire and so on have a restraining effect on him?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's heart stirred, and he asked somewhat impatiently.

"Theoretically, that is indeed the case, but your cultivation is currently too low to cause him much impact. If there were more powerful factors involved, it would be hard to say."

Yi Zhuyue pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Our power alone might not be enough, but we are not the only ones in this Western Wasteland. Perhaps we can go find Xiaoxian's family."

Su Chen said calmly, his eyes carrying a glimmer of determination.

This was something Yi Zhuyue hadn't expected. After all, from just a moment ago, to prevent Xiaoxian from causing more trouble, and because she had been busy running around these past few days and was very exhausted, she had given her some medicine to enhance her cultivation and allow her to sleep well.

This was the reason why the usually chattering Xiaoxian hadn't spoken.

"Relying on the Dragon Race's True Yang Qi, we can certainly restrain Lanbo very well, and things will be twice as effective with half the effort."

Yi Zhuyue said in agreement.

Lanbo had been in the Western Wasteland for so long without ruling the entire Western Wasteland, and part of the reason was the Dragon Race.

Although his personal strength was very powerful, facing so many Dragon Race members who restrained him, it was still very troublesome for him to deal with them. Therefore, he was in great need of the Universe Pearl's help.

With the Universe Pearl, he could help him absorb that True Yang Qi. With the things that troubled him gone, defeating the Dragon Race would naturally be a matter of course.

And the Universe Pearl was generally kept under important guard by the Mermaid Race. Lanbo had tried many times before to snatch the Universe Pearl, but he had always failed.

Now that the Universe Pearl is with Natasha, it is also of great benefit to them.

Without delay, Su Chen was the first to wake Xiaoxian up.

Xiaoxian hadn't yet reacted to what was going on; she opened her eyes in a daze and yawned, only then flapping her small wings to fly up.

"How long have I been asleep? Where are we now?"

Realizing she was inside a giant water bubble, she flew around the surroundings in great novelty, starting to size up the environment around her.

But soon, Xiaoxian realized that everyone's expressions were very grave. She subconsciously felt that something was wrong and immediately restrained the smile on her face.

"What's wrong with you all? Why do you all have such expressions?"

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It was the first time she had seen grave expressions on all their faces at the same time, and she immediately felt that something big was wrong.
