Chapter 1415: Chapter 1374: Begging for Mercy

“It’s getting late, we should rest now.”

“Rest? Do you two really need rest? Why not keep traveling, pressing on day and night to save time?”

Lu Chuan’s suggestion was immediately rejected by Miao Conglu. She just wanted to reach the Old Lands of Qingqiu as soon as possible to get what she wanted. For this, she even designed a plan that offended the two powerful figures, Lu Chuan and Yun Ji, in one go. It is evident how determined Miao Conglu was.

“Right now, we don’t know how many forces are gathered in the Old Lands of Qingqiu, with strong ones as numerous as clouds. You might not need to participate in the battle, but Yun Ji and I need to ensure your safety, and naturally, we need to adjust our state to the best condition.”

Lu Chuan glanced at Miao Conglu faintly and sneered, “If you think you can order us around at will, then you underestimate me, Miao Conglu. I must remind you, I can kill you before the Gu Insect takes effect.”

“Using my life to exchange for the lives of two strong ones, it doesn’t seem like a bad deal?”

“I may not know if I’ll die, but you definitely will. So, do you want to try it?”

Facing Lu Chuan’s gaze, Miao Conglu, though dissatisfied, didn’t say anything more. She just snorted softly, found a place to sit down, and took the opportunity to rest.

After all, she was an ordinary person. Even though she temporarily borrowed the power of Lu Chuan and Yun Ji through the Gu Insect, she still felt tired. Since she couldn’t do much about Lu Chuan, she might as well take this opportunity to rest well.

“Lu Chuan, can you hear me?”

Hearing Yun Ji’s voice transmission, Lu Chuan nodded slightly.

“I can hear you.”

“Did you think of a way? Otherwise, why suddenly propose to rest?”

Miao Conglu, after all, had no cultivation and couldn’t gather demonic power. She naturally didn’t understand, but in fact, Lu Chuan and Yun Ji’s states were mostly always at their best. Simply traveling wouldn’t fatigue the two at all.

“Let’s see if we can find a chance where she lets her guard down, I can first help you remove the Gu Insect inside you.”

As for himself, Lu Chuan was quite confident in his Primal Chaos Indestructible Body.

Though the Gu Insect would cause intense pain once activated, whether it could really kill him was still unknown.

As for the method of removing the Gu Insect, Lu Chuan accidentally discovered that the Fortune Devouring Gu had a strong restraining power on the Gu Insect. Just releasing a wisp of its aura could make the Gu Insect lurking in his heart afraid. Lu Chuan might be able to use the Fortune Devouring Gu to cleanse Yun Ji’s body of the Gu Insect.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Chuan urgently needed an opportunity where Miao Conglu would drop her guard. He could withstand it himself, but he couldn’t bear to see his wife being tormented by the Gu Insect.

Thinking this, Lu Chuan slowly came to Yun Ji’s side, sat down, hugged her around the waist, and held her in his arms.

Seeing this scene, Miao Conglu frowned immediately and asked, “What are you two doing?”

“What do you think? It’s the dead of night, don’t you feel lonely?”

“You, you both should at least be mindful of the impact! I’m still here!”

“You can choose not to look, close your eyes, and turn your head away.”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and, saying so, took off his robe, placed it underneath him, and kissed Yun Ji.

Of course, Lu Chuan was also observing Miao Conglu’s response.

She was clearly inexperienced in such matters, and just sitting nearby made her uncomfortable. Seeing Lu Chuan and Yun Ji becoming increasingly engrossed and ignoring others, she sensibly moved a bit further away.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan realized his chance had come.

He used destiny to guide the Fortune Devouring Gu into Yun Ji’s body. The Fortune Devouring Gu immediately noticed the presence of the Gu Insect in Yun Ji’s body. After consuming the destiny, it turned its attention to the Gu Insect in Yun Ji’s body, devouring it in an instant with lightning speed!

It was at that moment that Miao Conglu realized what had happened, stood up, and questioned Lu Chuan, “What did you do! You… you actually killed my Gu Insect!”

“Tsk, I thought I could delay a bit longer, but I already made it very clear before, Missy. Plotting against me was the decision you should most regret making in your life.”

Lu Chuan used destiny to guide the Fortune Devouring Gu back into his body, immediately launching an attack on the Gu Insect lurking in his heart. To prevent her plan from failing, Miao Conglu immediately took out the Child Gu and gently pinched it, causing a piercing pain. Lu Chuan’s face turned deathly pale!

“Lu Chuan! I don’t care what you did, stop it immediately! Or I’ll crush the Child Gu now, and we’ll perish together!”

“In your dreams!”

Yun Ji snorted coldly, having learned from past experience, she naturally wouldn’t let Miao Conglu get too close. Her fox tails swayed behind her, the demonic power condensed into a shadow that attacked Miao Conglu!

Seeing this, Miao Conglu’s pupils shook, caught in a dilemma.

Crushing the Child Gu meant certain death for her, but Lu Chuan might survive.

But even if she surrendered now, would Lu Chuan and Yun Ji let her go?

Miao Conglu initially thought her plan was flawless and that once she retrieved that item, even if Lu Chuan and Yun Ji took revenge afterward, she might still escape by luck.

But now, the Gu Insect had been removed by Lu Chuan just like that. It’s important to note that she only raised two precious Ghost Gu like this, which were extremely valuable and could affect a Nascent Soul Realm expert. Even if Lu Chuan and Yun Ji gave her another close chance later, she wouldn’t be skilled enough to control them.

Moreover, she had already lost one Ghost Gu and couldn’t afford to lose the second one!

With this in mind, Miao Conglu immediately withdrew the Child Gu and raised her hands in surrender.

“I admit defeat, I will remove the Gu Insect from Lu Chuan’s body, please don’t kill her!”

“Only thinking of begging for mercy now, a bit late, isn’t it? Earlier, weren’t you very arrogant?”

Lu Chuan curled his lips, struggling to get up, took a deep breath, and continued, “Before, I was thinking of sparing your life, but now, I’ve changed my mind.

For someone like you, given the chance, you’d undoubtedly betray at the earliest opportunity. Rather than keep you around, it’s better to end things sooner to prevent future troubles.”

Saying so, Lu Chuan’s thoughts stirred, and the Mystic Spirit Haunting Spike appeared. With a casual wave, the ink-like trail formed into a line, ready to pierce Miao Conglu’s heart and take her life whenever Lu Chuan wished.

“Wait! I can offer an opportunity in exchange for a chance to live!”

“Not interested, I’ll find my own opportunities. I don’t need you to tell me. Other than that, do you have any last words?”

Lu Chuan watched Miao Conglu with cold eyes, those heterochromatic eyes showing a hint of fear.

“I… I know a secret related to Yun Yan of the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox Clan, and the opportunity is connected to this secret! Believe me, you’ll definitely be tempted!

This opportunity could even allow you to break through to the Spirit Splitting Realm in one go!”
