Chapter 1640: Chapter 1641: He is Not Worthy

"Impossible!"

The words escaped her lips almost instinctively; Yu Yanshu had not a shred of intent to believe the person in front of her.

Chou Manlou was unsurprised by this reaction. Without offering an explanation, he snapped his fingers. A thread of Divine Sense spread outward, carrying the distinct cadence of Su Chengyu’s voice.

Yan’er, along with my other disciple, is on the way to Qingqiu...

The tone was steady, devoid of any discernible emotion.

But there was no denying it: the voice transmitted through the Divine Sense was unmistakably Su Chengyu’s.

Yu Yanshu instinctively took a step back as she listened to the statement. She murmured softly, "Impossible. This is fake..."

"Lord of the Sect, you possess the ability to see through all illusions. Whether this recording is genuine or merely fabricated by me, you know the truth deep down."

Yu Yanshu bit her lower lip. Of course, she knew this very well herself. But she’d rather believe she’d made an error in judgment than accept that all of it was real.

"Senior Sister! Master isn’t that kind of person! Even if these words truly came from him, there must be some hidden motive behind them—just like back then, when Master acted toward me in such a way!"

Bai Huang’s words jarred Yu Yanshu back to reality. Her gaze instantly locked onto Chou Manlou.

"You’re trying to sow discord between me and my master?"

Chou Manlou chuckled faintly. "I’m merely laying some truths before the Lord of the Sect. You may choose to believe this is Su Chengyu’s expedient measure, but even so, it proves that your position in his heart may not be as important as you think."

"Oh, is that so? Then what rank do you think I hold in my master’s heart?"

Yu Yanshu’s retort left Chou Manlou momentarily stunned. He suddenly burst into laughter, enlightened.

"Ah, I see! I see! How amusing—who would’ve thought that the leader revered by countless from the Demonic Path would place their own standing so low before that man."

"How is that any of your concern?"

The cold expression, the icy tone—there was not a sliver of anger or emotion stirred by having her innermost thoughts laid bare.

Yu Yanshu’s display acted as though Chou Manlou’s words had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Chou Manlou shook his head and said, "No concern indeed. I’m merely curious—if that’s the case, why did the Lord of the Sect waver just now?"

Yu Yanshu remained silent for a moment before softly responding, "It’s merely that what you said is something I believed impossible—yet my eyes tell me the recording is genuine."

"Oh, that’s it? The Lord of the Sect would sooner doubt herself than doubt that man?"

"Is that a problem?"

Yu Yanshu raised her head and countered with another question.

Chou Manlou shook his head and, with an elegant demeanor, slowly stepped closer to Yu Yanshu.

Yu Yanshu slightly furrowed her brows but did not retreat; she understood the disparity between her current strength and the person before her.

Not to mention, Chou Manlou was controlling this body from a thousand miles away. Even Cang Xue, who had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, or Yan Ruyu, were far beyond her ability to contend with.

However, Yu Yanshu also knew that these people hadn’t come here to kill her, and that gave her the courage to confront him on this ground.

"The Lord of the Sect is indeed bold—truly fascinating. What, I wonder, does that man have that makes him worthy of your devotion?"

After circling around Yu Yanshu, Chou Manlou spoke again, with a slight air of disappointment.

"You don’t understand, nor do you need to."

"What a pity. Perhaps this is merely the difference in sequence. If I had been the one to find the Lord of the Sect first..."

"Even then, there’s absolutely no way I would ever stand on your side!"

Yu Yanshu replied decisively without hesitation.

"Haha, the Lord of the Sect’s stance is rather absolute."

Chou Manlou smiled, seemingly unprovoked.

Yet his gaze subtly shifted, as though sensing something. His eyes fell upon Bai Huang below, and he spoke softly.

"Lord of the Sect, your judgment is correct—I have no intentions of attacking you. I don’t even wish to forcibly take you away by sheer power; it holds no meaning for me or the Demonic Path. We seek you not like the Luo Clan hunts for mere sacrificial pawns, but only for the sake of carrying forward the bloodline legacy."

"Such claims are pointless; I won’t believe them, nor will I listen."

"I know."

Chou Manlou blinked, finally revealing what he truly intended to say.

"Indeed, I don’t wish to confront you, but don’t forget that there are others here."

Yu Yanshu’s brows furrowed tightly. She stepped forward, positioning herself between Chou Manlou and Bai Huang.

"If you kill him, I will never go with you—not in this lifetime."

"Oh? So you’re saying that if I show some courtesy, there’s still a chance you’ll come with me?"

"You..."

Chou Manlou smiled and said, "Lord of the Sect, this is good news—it means there’s still room for negotiation between us, isn’t it?"

"What exactly are you planning!"

Yu Yanshu’s emotions changed for the second time, and this was precisely the response Chou Manlou had aimed to provoke.

He glanced down at Bai Huang and said, "That formidable Azure Dragon bloodline has already been stalled. Lord of the Sect, you haven’t given up, which must mean you’re stalling for time, yes? Help is on the way? Let me guess—who might it be? That Quanzhen Sect Daoist won’t make it here in time. The Luo Clan won’t allow such a being, nearly on par with an Earth Immortal, to roam unchecked on their turf. So it must be Su Chengyu coming?"

Yu Yanshu said nothing, but a chill ran through her heart. For the first time, she truly felt the terror of the man Su Chengyu had once mentioned.

"Ah, yes, there’s that little fox as well—you must be pinning your hopes on him obtaining the full Qingqiu Fox Clan heritage, aren’t you? Hmm, it seems there are remnants of Divine Consciousness from a few Demon Gods lingering here. If he truly gains their acknowledgment, it’s possible he might assist you."

"Since you seem to know so much, what reason could you have to waste time speaking with me about all this?"

Yu Yanshu asked with forced calm, fully aware that the man before her had surely planned his moves far in advance.

Chou Manlou smiled and snapped his fingers again. A projected image appeared beside him, revealing Su Chengyu locked in an intense battle, wielding a sword-halberd against Mo Ningchen.

"Master!"

"He seems to be in good condition, doesn’t he? But I can tell you quite clearly: he’s simply holding himself together. Give it one incense stick’s time, and his decline will appear—with no way to reverse it."

Yu Yanshu narrowed her eyes without speaking.

"Alright, I understand you trust this man. I admit he’s somewhat extraordinary, and perhaps he does have a way to break free. But so what? Even if he manages to reach you, he can’t change the current situation. And as for your final hope—yes, that little fox."

"You plan to interfere with the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s heritage too?"

Chou Manlou shook his head. "Of course not. It’s precisely because of that fact that my Heaven-reaching Ghost-killing Formation can only wait for this moment to gather momentum, as the curtain falls on his side. But I’ll tell you quite clearly, Lord of the Sect: to truly obtain the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s heritage...

That little fox—he is unworthy."
