Chapter 438: Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Four: Granting You Eternal Life_3

"It’s simple,"

"You have been isolated from the world for ten thousand years. In that time, seas have changed into mulberry fields. You need information from the outside world, and since the wraiths have grown weak over ten thousand years, you also need a lot of time and ample space to infect and transform living beings into wraiths, and I can provide you with what you desire."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan gestured toward the ceiling, his voice, infused with Origin Qi, echoing with intent:

"Ten thousand years ago, you wraiths invaded from the vast deserts in the south, wreaking havoc for a time. Our Sect alliance was forced to retreat step by step, even to the point of being driven back to the ice fields in the north. Even the location of this Underground City was constructed underneath the ice fields of the Northern Frontier, which is where the Barbarian Tribes are now."

Luo Xiran’s voice carried a trace of cold laughter:

"It seems you are indeed well-informed about the events from ten thousand years ago, but it appears you haven’t answered my earlier question. Why can’t a power that can oppose Jiatiange send even a single person who has achieved Mortal Transcendence?"

"Luo Xiran, I believe the person who needs to understand their place is you,"

Xu Yuan said with a teasing look in his eyes, spontaneously concocting further lies: "Now, I am the one giving you an opportunity, not the other way around. Perhaps you were once a being comparable to a Saint, but now, you are just a person who has transcended mortality.

"You must have awoken because you sensed that punch from my Protector, right?"

The Barbarian King.

Xu Yuan was betting that this transcended wraith hadn’t managed to find the Barbarian King, or rather, he was betting on the lack of communication between the two.

If he won the bet, he’d continue to bluff with the big flag of the Barbarian King.

If he lost the bet, they would start the conversationfrom scratch, and he had the Source Crystal Bomb and the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant at his feet to back him up.

After a long silence,

Luo Xiran’s voice came drifting over:

"A pity, it seems your Protector is injured and dares not show up before me."

"Indeed."

Xu Yuan did not deny it, his voice echoing: "But I want to tell you something, even if you could break the constraint that currently binds you, the only person who can get you out in the shortest time is me!"

In the Cangyuan Chronicles, even if the entire Underground Palace had been turned into a lifeless land of slaughter by the wraiths, these wraiths hadn’t been able to escape.

As an outdoor dungeon in a game, this made sense, but translated to reality, it must have its own cause and effect.

In other words,

Even if Luo Xiran broke the current constraint, other limitations would await him.

With those words, Xu Yuan’s voice carried a hint of menace:

"Moreover, Luo Xiran, with such commotion here, the chances are high that my Protector has already arrived nearby, perhaps even searching for your true body."

"....."

There was silence after he spoke, with dense blood fog unusually serene around them.

Eventually,

a sigh emerged from the blood fog, a cold but beautiful female voice laced with laughter:

"So, you’re saying that if I want to leave, I have to cooperate with you?"

On hearing this, Xu Yuan grinned:

"Not necessarily, but you probably don’t have a better option."

"You’re right."

Luo Xiran’s voice became much softer, a tender smile in her tone:

"But you seem to have forgotten one thing."

"What’s that?"

"As long as I transform you into a wraith and take control, I would know everything. The problem of escaping from the Underground City would also be easily resolved."

"...."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, then his pupils suddenly constricted as he reflexively touched his cheek that was cut by the blast, but his hand abruptly stopped in mid-air.

The next moment,

"Wow ah....."

a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out,

and Xu Yuan’s whole body involuntarily collapsed to the ground, his vision blurring as the bright crimson on the pitch-black ground stood out starkly, everything around him beginning to shake.

Meanwhile,

"Da... Da... Da..."

a crisp sound, like high heels tapping on the ground, a huge and ferocious dark shadow gradually emerged from the blood fog,

dominating the area with its presence, the voice cold yet noble:

"Xu Changtian,"

"In my presence, I grant you eternity."
