Chapter 1416: Chapter 1375: Twin Bracelets

“Do you think I’d believe that? Spirit Splitting Realm, you think cultivation is child’s play, so simple?”

Lu Chuan instinctively denied it, but unexpectedly, Yun Yan actually transmitted a message to Lu Chuan at that moment.

“Let her tell us, Lu Chuan. If that thing still exists, maybe it really can be done.”

Lu Chuan: “?”

“Yun Yan, are you serious? Do you really have such a treasure?”

“It’s a bit complicated to explain this. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll explain it. For now, just listen to what she has to say.”

At this point, Lu Chuan couldn’t deny being tempted.

If he could seize the chance to break through to the Spirit Splitting Realm, he would have nothing left to worry about once the matter at hand was resolved, and he could head directly to the Penglai Immortal Domain to obtain the Heavenly Pendant.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan exhaled deeply, and under his control, ink transformed into ropes to tightly bind Miao Conglu.

“Speak, and I might spare your life.”

“Yun Yan was once the Fox Lord of the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox Clan. She once forged a Blood Pool using human lives in the Old Lands. If one refines the human blood in the Blood Pool into Blood Pills and consumes them, it would greatly enhance one’s cultivation!

This is true. I know where the Blood Pool is hidden!”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Chuan frowned.

“Yun Yan, is what she’s saying true?”

“It is true.”

“…This really surprises me. No wonder the Tower Spirit decided to suppress you for committing such inhumane acts, you didn’t do it unjustly.”

Using humans to refine Blood Pills solely to enhance one’s cultivation—honestly, Lu Chuan felt an innate resistance to this method.

Nobody knew how many human lives it would take to fill that Blood Pool. What’s the difference between this and cannibalism? It’s disgusting!

If it were any other method, Lu Chuan wouldn’t hesitate to agree, but not this…

“As a human, to consume Blood Pills refined from countless human lives just to become stronger—do you not find this disgusting? I feel nauseated myself.

I’m sorry, Miao Conglu, but this won’t earn you a chance to live.”

Upon hearing this, Miao Conglu laughed, tears at the corners of her eyes, gasping, “Lu Chuan, do you really have to be so hypocritical? You reached where you are today by stepping through mountains of corpses and seas of blood! Besides, that was thousands of years ago. Even if you disdain eating this Blood Pill, don’t others find it tempting?

Stop pretending. You’re tempted too, aren’t you? After all, it’s a chance to ascend in one step. As for that so-called moral bottom line, it’s just a ridiculous excuse.

I’ve told you everything I know, whether you use it or not is your choice. According to our agreement, you should let me live.”

“Indeed, according to our agreement, I should do so, but…”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and walked toward Miao Conglu. Seeing this, Miao Conglu felt nervous, twisting her body, trying to escape the ink rope’s restraint.

But this was a Magic Artifact even Li Yingnu cherished, how could she, a powerless ordinary person, break free?

The more she struggled, the tighter the ropes bound, until Miao Conglu was nearly out of breath, her pale cheeks gradually turning red.

Standing in front of Miao Conglu, Lu Chuan reached out and pinched her cheeks, speaking coldly, “Even if I go back on my word, what can you do? Let me guess, you no longer have extra Gu Insects to threaten me, right? Otherwise, with your nature, you’d have placed more than one, light and dark, which is the best choice.

So, what can you do now?”

“Lu, Lu Chuan, as a Nascent Soul Realm expert, bullying a weak woman with no cultivation, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?”

“Not afraid. I’m young too, not yet thirty. Becoming Nascent Soul Realm only means I have extraordinary talent. Who dares ridicule me? Trying to threaten me with such base methods, naive.”

Only after leaving two finger marks on Miao Conglu’s cheeks did Lu Chuan release her, then turned to Yun Ji.

“How should we handle her?”

“Just kill her. What, you’re not getting soft on her, are you?”

“What are you thinking? I can’t tolerate such a vicious person around me, so just kill her.”

With those words, Lu Chuan raised the long saber high, hovering over Miao Conglu’s head, ready to pierce down heavily!

Feeling the breath of death, Miao Conglu’s pupils contracted, no longer daring to hide anything, she shrieked, “I! I know where the Green Hill Fox Tribe’s ultimate treasure is hidden! Without me, you definitely won’t find it!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan stopped his action, the long saber merely an inch from Miao Conglu’s head.

“Tsk, I just don’t understand. How does someone without cultivation, only playing with insects, know so much?”

“This… This is my secret, but I can guarantee I’m not lying! The Green Hill Fox Tribe’s ultimate treasure is a pair of Twin Bracelets. If you know the history, you’ll know I’m not lying!”

Lu Chuan obviously wouldn’t just believe what Miao Conglu said, so he turned to verify with Yun Yan. The answer surprised him, Miao Conglu was right again.

This left Lu Chuan even more puzzled.

Such precise information is not something a Gu Master could gather. Most likely, there is another presence behind Miao Conglu.

This was indeed very intriguing.

Someone hiding behind the scenes, so knowledgeable about the Old Lands of Qingqiu, what was their purpose, and why only send Miao Conglu to seek the Old Lands of Qingqiu?

“Keep talking.”

“The Twin Bracelets are hidden in the underground palace, where many treasures are buried, including the Blood Pool I mentioned, also in the underground palace. I have a way to find the Twin Bracelets! I have only one condition, spare me, I ask for nothing else!”

“If I find out you’re lying, I’ll chop off your head without hesitation, got it?”

“I, I understand.”

Miao Conglu had no doubt that, if she dared provoke Lu Chuan at this moment, he would definitely kill her.

After all, she had previously plotted against Lu Chuan and Yun Ji without mercy, she even considered detonating the Gu Insect to take both their lives while they were unguarded. To expect leniency from Lu Chuan now was nothing but wishful thinking.

Having regained control of the situation, there was no longer any point in lingering there, so Lu Chuan immediately decided to proceed. However, this time, it was Miao Conglu leading the way, struggling to carve a path forward with a common Mountain Splitting Saber.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chuan felt no pity, only keeping a constant watch on Miao Conglu.

For a person so calculating and devious, even a hint of compassion was a betrayal of oneself. Naturally, Lu Chuan wouldn’t let his heart rule his head at such a time.
