Chapter 68 Han Li is my brother, and I will bear the consequences of his tragic fate!
"Thank you so much for saving me, senior..."
After Wu Chou died, the chains on Zi Ling's body also automatically lost their magic power.
She quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhu Chen, her attitude extremely respectful.
This senior could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator with a wave of his hand, so she, a mere Pseudo-Core cultivator, dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Zhu Chen turned around, his gaze sweeping over Zi Ling's pale face. He smiled and said, "There's a group of Nascent Soul cultivators guarding outside. You, a Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator, actually managed to break in. It seems you're quite capable."
These words struck Zi Ling like a bolt from the blue, exploding directly in her mind.
She quickly took two steps back, bowed deeply, and bowed again to Zhu Chen.
"Senior... I only wish to gather some spiritual herbs in the first level. I will absolutely not touch anything in the inner hall. If you do not believe me, I am willing to offer my soul blood..."
After saying that, he offered a drop of his soul blood to Zhu Chen without hesitation.
However, Zhu Chen did not accept the drop of soul blood. Instead, he waved his hand and sent it back into Zi Ling's body.
Using soul blood to control the life and death of others is Wang Lin's method, not his.
Just then, Zhu Chen's gaze inadvertently fell on Zi Ling's tattered gauze dress.
Looking at her fair, jade-like skin and her exquisitely made-up yet slightly haggard face, even Zhu Chen, with his composure, couldn't help but be amazed.
This woman truly deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the mortal cultivation world.
Even now, despite her disheveled appearance and the veil covering her pale and haggard face, her stunning beauty still shone through.
It's hard to imagine how stunningly beautiful she would be if she dressed up carefully.
"S-senpai..."
Zi Ling noticed that Zhu Chen's gaze kept lingering on her, and her already pale face turned even paler.
Could it be that this senior also wants to use me as a furnace?
Zi Ling's world has collapsed.
She never imagined that she would escape one danger only to fall into an even more perilous one.
There might still be a sliver of a chance for me to escape from that ugly crow.
But in the hands of this senior whose strength is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, she probably wouldn't even have the slightest chance of escaping.
Zi Ling's eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, she bowed to Zhu Chen again and said, "Senior, I once swore an oath that whoever killed Wu Chou would serve him as my master. If you do not mind, I am willing to become your concubine and follow you."
"what?"
Now it was Zhu Chen's turn to be at a loss.
He had only glanced at Zi Ling and admired her beauty, so how could she have offered herself to him?
Damn it, this is Han Laomo's woman.
Han Laomo is now his brother.
How could he possibly do something like poaching someone?
Zhu Chen really wanted to reject Zi Ling's impulsive behavior.
But seeing Zi Ling's pitiful state, he felt a pang of pity.
"Forget it, Han Li is single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, so as his brother, I naturally have to lend him a hand. Women will only hinder his progress in pursuing the Great Dao!"
"If that's the case, then I'll bear the consequences of this karmic entanglement for him!"
Zhu Chen struggled with his decision for a moment before finally making a decision.
Damn it, let's do it!
The system of "many children, many blessings" must have branches and leaves.
Otherwise, how will he resolve the Dark Turmoil and deal with those powerful enemies on the sacrificial path?
As the saying goes, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
For the sake of all living beings, he decided to sacrifice himself.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chen's sense of guilt subsided considerably.
He looked up at Zi Ling, coughed twice, and said, "There's no need for a concubine. If you really want to follow me, then become my Daoist partner."
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling's tense body suddenly froze, and she was completely stunned.
She offered to become a concubine because she didn't want to become someone else's sex slave.
Unexpectedly, this senior in front of me actually wanted her to be his Daoist partner.
This made her feel somewhat flattered.
"Senior... are you serious?"
Zi Ling looked at Zhu Chen with some excitement and asked.
Zhu Chen smiled faintly: "How could this be fake? Of course, if you don't want to, you can leave now."
Zi Ling was taken aback again upon hearing this.
This senior's way of doing things is quite strange.
Are all Nascent Soul cultivators like this?
wrong.
He was definitely testing me.
If I leave now, he will definitely kill me immediately, or forcibly use me as a furnace.
Zi Ling remained silent for a moment, then bowed to Zhu Chen again and said, "Senior, although Zi Ling's cultivation is low, I am not the kind of person who goes back on my word. Zi Ling has already made a vow, and I will not go back on my word. As long as Senior is willing to take Zi Ling in, Zi Ling is willing to follow Senior by your side and never betray you."
Whoever kills Wu Chou will serve as their master—this vow was one she made with a righteous heart.
Cultivators should not make vows lightly, because once a vow is made, it will resonate with the Dao.
If she breaks her vow, it will be difficult for her to make any further progress in her cultivation.
It might even give rise to inner demons.
What's more, this senior in front of her not only helped her kill Wu Chou, but also saved her from Wu Chou's clutches.
This kindness is truly difficult to repay; the only way I can repay it is with my own body.
"Alright, since you've put it that way, I also have a few words from the bottom of my heart to say to you..."
Seeing that Zi Ling had made up her mind to be with him, Zhu Chen no longer concealed his identity.
He told Zi Ling that he came from another world, since she would find out sooner or later anyway.
The latest novel is first published here!
After hearing this, Zi Ling was stunned once again.
The amount of information Zhu Chen revealed at this moment was so overwhelming that she didn't know how to process it for a moment.
However, a place quickly came to mind.
The Spirit World!
Yes, it is the spirit world.
According to legend, the world they currently inhabit is merely the human realm, while above the human realm lies the spirit realm.
That was a vast world where only Nascent Soul cultivators were qualified to ascend.
Could it be that this senior in front of me is from there?
With this thought in mind, Zi Ling's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
Zhu Chen was unaware that he had become a "big shot" from the spirit world in Zi Ling's eyes. When he saw the look of realization on Zi Ling's face, he thought that she had accepted his identity, and he couldn't help but feel a little gratified.
It's so convenient to talk to smart people; they understand things so easily.
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, getting to know each other, and then used their escape techniques to head deeper into the Spirit Abyss.
A moment later.
They arrived at the end of this Spirit Abyss Land, where there was still a teleportation array.
Without hesitation, Zhu Chen immediately led Zi Ling inside.
When the two reappeared, they had arrived at a garden surrounded by artificial hills in ink.
This place is called Lingyuan Water Pavilion, which is the transit station between the first and second levels of the Void Heaven Palace.
Xiao Yan and his group were still hunting Yin spirits in the Spirit Abyss, so Zhu Chen and Zi Ling were the first to arrive at this place.
Zhu Chen looked around and saw another teleportation array not far away, but it was not yet activated.
"This should be the teleportation array leading to the second level, the Ice and Fire Path. It has a time restriction; the array will only activate when the time is up..."
Zi Ling stood behind and whispered a reminder.
"A time restriction?"
Zhu Chen's eyes lit up with interest as he walked over and carefully examined the array structure.
Previously, when he broke through the projection barrier of the Void Heaven Palace, he had already gained some understanding of the barrier through the analysis of the Original True Solution.
For him, this so-called time restriction was actually not complicated.
He raised his hand and unleashed several streams of magical power, channeling them into the array diagram.
next second.
A dazzling golden light suddenly flashed on the teleportation array.
A faint spatial magnetic field then spread out.
"The teleportation array is activated?"
Zi Ling's eyes lit up, and she murmured in disbelief.
As far as she knew, the teleportation arrays here were all ancient arrays, and only those who knew the restrictions of the Void Heaven Palace could activate them.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chen activated the ancient teleportation array simply by casually casting a few bursts of magical power.
"Let's go."
Zhu Chen glanced back at Zi Ling, then immediately stepped into the teleportation array.
Without hesitation, Zi Ling followed him inside.
