Chapter 745: Nangong Qingya's Scheme
After sensing the Spiritual Power released by Lu Chen, Nangong Qingya's expression turned unpleasant. It was the first time she experienced a force that made her heart palpitate.
Seeing his own Spiritual Power seemingly restrain Nangong Qingya's blood energy, Lu Chen quickly realized that although Nangong Qingya was not a pure Demon Cultivator, she could still be considered a Demonic Cultivator, and the Demon Burying Spell was not only effective against Demon Cultivators but also capable of suppressing the power of Demonic Cultivators.
Of course, the effect of the Demon Burying Spell on Demonic Cultivators was not as exaggerated as it was on Demon Cultivators.
At this moment, Nangong Qingya harbored killing intent towards Lu Chen. If Lu Chen really did restrain her, keeping him around would be a great disaster for her.
However, the Spiritual Power that Lu Chen had unleashed was so unique, it might actually be able to restrain the Demonic Qi.
Thinking this way, he hadn't lied, perhaps it really was due to his special physical constitution.
Concerning his special constitution, there really wasn't a good solution. If she killed Lu Chen now, finding another person capable of restraining Demonic Qi in the future would not be easy.
Nangong Qingya fell silent for a moment, then said to Lu Chen, "Fine."
As Nangong Qingya's words fell, Lu Chen retracted his Spiritual Power and then asked, "Now, do you finally believe me?"
Nangong Qingya thought to herself, since Lu Chen has a special constitution, it might be better to take this fellow to Blood Rainbow Pavilion. In the future, if the Heavenly Demon broke through the Sealing, they could utilize him to confront the Heavenly Demon.
With this thought, Nangong Qingya immediately said, "Since you don't know the Demon-Exorcising Sword Technique, you should come with me to Blood Rainbow Pavilion."
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu was startled and quickly said, "No!"
Nangong Qingya's red eyes instantly turned towards Ji Qiuyu, and then she emitted a threatening sound, "Hmm?"
Ji Qiuyu quickly continued, "Senior, if Lu Chen leaves Black Moon City, and if a large-scale Demonic Tide erupts again, Black Moon City will surely be unable to resist."
Nangong Qingya let out a cold laugh and said, "What does the fate of Black Moon City have to do with me?"
Lu Chen said, "It is related, indeed. If the Demonic Tide spreads, those demons help the Heavenly Demon at the Demon Sealing Grounds absorb enough blood energy, it's highly likely that the Heavenly Demon will break the Sealing early."
"If the Heavenly Demon breaks the Sealing, then the Ziyang World will face total devastation, and Blood Rainbow Pavilion, as well as you, will face the threat of the Heavenly Demon."
Hearing Lu Chen's explanation, Nangong Qingya fell silent for a moment; his words really made some sense.
Her main reason for taking Lu Chen was to prevent the Heavenly Demon from targeting Blood Rainbow Pavilion after breaking the Sealing, but taking Lu Chen away might instead accelerate the Heavenly Demon breaking the Sealing.
However...
If she didn't take Lu Chen, once other forces learned of Lu Chen's ability, they would undoubtedly come to take him as well.
She could prioritize the greater good, but other forces might not, so the best solution was still to take Lu Chen away early to prevent him from being seized by other forces later.
Nangong Qingya then said, "Even if I don't take you away, possessing such a constitution, other forces will learn of it and will take you away just the same."
Lu Chen replied, "If other forces try to forcibly take me, I will threaten them with my death. If I die, then there will no longer be anyone in the Ziyang World who can restrain the Demonic Qi. Once the Heavenly Demon breaks the Sealing, then all Cultivators can only await death."
Nangong Qingya's red eyes swept over Lu Chen, and after some thought, Nangong Qingya spoke, "Fine, I shall not take you away."
At this point, Nangong Qingya took out a red token and tossed it to Lu Chen.
"This is the Pavilion Master's Token from the Blood Rainbow Pavilion. If you ever encounter someone from another faction trying to forcefully take you away, activate this token, and I will appear before you immediately."
Although Nangong Qingya was a Demonic Cultivator, to prevent the Heavenly Demon from breaking the seal, she had to prioritize the greater good.
Moreover, her Pavilion Master's Token was no ordinary token. It would continually erode Lu Chen's Divine Soul, allowing her to gradually gain control over him. In the future, Lu Chen would be hers, so she did not need to hurry in taking him away.
After catching the Pavilion Master's Token from Nangong Qingya, Lu Chen immediately bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, senior!"
Nangong Qingya then flicked her red sleeve, transforming into a swirl of blood mist and leaving behind only a voice, "Don't think of running away. No matter where you flee, I can still find you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen simply smiled faintly without saying more.
Once Nangong Qingya's presence had completely dissipated, Ji Qiuyu approached Lu Chen, looking at him with concern, "I hadn't anticipated that you would draw such a significant figure here. Black Moon City is likely not going to be peaceful anymore."
With a strong figure like Nangong Qingya appearing in Black Moon City, how could other factions' strong figures sit idly by? After all, Lu Chen was the only one who could greatly restrain the Demonic Qi; even black gold did not have the effect of the Spiritual Power released from Lu Chen's body.
Seeing Ji Qiuyu's worried expression, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don't worry. I can be most useful here in Black Moon City. If someone takes me away, the Demonic Tide might spread, leading to severe consequences. I believe those old fellows know how to choose."
Normal people wouldn't want the Demonic Tide to spread; after all, the Heavenly Demon is the bane of Cultivators and feeds on them. If it were to be released, the Cultivators across the Ziyang World would suffer, and those factions would also face calamities.
Now that even the Pavilion Master of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion had not taken him away, other factions, knowing this, naturally wouldn't dare to be the first to act.
Everyone wanted a piece of Lu Chen; if all the major factions were to fight over him, not only could they suffer heavy losses, but they might also end up without any benefits. Instead, letting him stay in Black Moon City to hold back the spread of the Demonic Tide could actually slow the pace at which the Heavenly Demon breaks the seal.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Qiuyu sighed softly, once again feeling immensely relieved that the Lu Chen in front of her was a puppet. If it were the real Lu Chen himself here, his situation would be much more perilous.
Should someone need to take Lu Chen in the future, he could simply self-destruct, fake his death to escape, and after the dust settles, Lu Chen could send another puppet to Black Moon City.
Meanwhile,
Outside Black Moon City.
A massive Flying Boat was quietly approaching Black Moon City under the moonlight.
Bai Wenbin sat inside a pavilion, drinking one cup of alcohol after another, feeling incredibly frustrated. Lu Chen was just a Loose Cultivator, and now he had even gained the protection of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion, making Bai Wenbin wary of making a move against him.
Although he could hardly swallow this slight, he seemed to lack a better plan. If he continued to attack Lu Chen, the Assassin from the Blood Rainbow Pavilion might very well kill him.
Thinking of this, Bai Wenbin felt extremely stifled.
He, a General of the Great Chu Dynasty, was unable to deal with a mere Loose Cultivator.
As Bai Wenbin continued to drink his sullen wine, a voice suddenly appeared behind him, "Commander Bai, I hear you seem to have some disagreements with that Lu Chen."
Hearing this voice, Bai Wenbin's brow furrowed, and he immediately gripped his sword, stabbing directly behind himself. But when he turned around, there was no one there.
