Chapter 2870: Chapter 2890: I Should Be More Useful than Those Demonic Beasts, Right?

"Woman?"

Zhen Liuxue said with a sneer, "To immortals, the body is just a Flesh Suit, and the soul is everything. In order to survive, not to mention snatching another woman’s body, even possessing a Demonic Beast is not unacceptable. After all, only by living can one have infinite possibilities; death is when one truly has nothing left."

Lin Chen turned to look at the unconscious Zhu Yuqiu, "What happened to her?"

Zhen Liuxue replied, "I captured her, intending to extract Taoist Duan Tian’s Primordial Spirit, but Taoist Duan Tian forced a fusion, trying to seize and merge with this body. Guess why he did that?"

Lin Chen’s expression was odd, "He doesn’t think we would hesitate to lay hands on Zhu Yuqiu, does he?"

Zhen Liuxue smiled brightly, "Yes, precisely. In desperate illness, one might take desperate remedies. Here, let me show you a good show..."

Zhen Liuxue’s fingertip glowed with a Golden Light, and as she pointed down, she touched the forehead of the unconscious Zhu Yuqiu.

Two incorporeal shadows burst out, remarkably those of Zhu Yuqiu and Taoist Duan Tian.

Zhu Yuqiu’s shadow was very faint, as if it could dissipate with the wind at any moment. She glared angrily at Taoist Duan Tian, "Father, why would you do this to me? I went all out for your revenge, even degraded myself to curry favor with the Palace lord, and yet, for your own survival, you aim to take my body, killing your own flesh and blood?"

Taoist Duan Tian exclaimed, "If I had any other way, I wouldn’t have had to resort to this. Who would want to die?"

Zhu Yuqiu retorted furiously, "But I am your daughter, your own daughter!"

Taoist Duan Tian countered, "If your only way to survive was by killing me, your father, would you? Don’t just say you wouldn’t—answer me truthfully, touching your heart, would you kill me?"

"You joined the Spring God Palace, took Jiang Wanli as your master, gave yourself to him—were you truly doing all this for my revenge?"

Zhu Yuqiu paused for a moment; her formerly indignant aura weakened significantly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, indeed, like father, like daughter.

Neither was easy to deal with!

Taoist Duan Tian turned to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, I confess, I harbored ill intentions towards you, but you were not harmed. Let bygones be bygones, and I will let you have the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup and all of my collection, just please spare us, father and daughter, a way out."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If I hadn’t been prepared and had some ability, your daughter’s pleading might have already led to my soul’s dispersal. If you were in my shoes, would you have spared me? Don’t think that because I’ve been kind to you, I’m soft-hearted. Do you really believe that a little submission and a few nice words will make everything okay?"

Taoist Duan Tian saw there was no mercy coming from Lin Chen and said fiercely, "My Divine Soul is linked with the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup. If you kill me, even if you get your hands on the cup, its power will be greatly diminished. You can forget about obtaining my collection. We’ll just go our separate ways!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Are you threatening me? Sadly, I’m the type to destroy a damaged can if it’s already broken, and I don’t take well to threats. If its power is diminished, then so be it. It’s all unexpected fortune to me, which I don’t care about. Regarding your collection, if it’s mine, I’ll take it; if not, then let it be. I won’t lose anything, right?"

Taoist Duan Tian immediately panicked, pleading with different words again, "Although I’ve lost my body, I am still a Quasi-Saint. Having me as your subordinate— or even a slave—I can match you, and I’m certainly more useful than those Demon Beasts of yours. I can enter into a contract with you and give you my True Soul, swearing allegiance..."

Lin Chen blinked; a Quasi-Saint as a slave?

Though diminished, as he said, after all, he is a Quasi-Saint.

Lin Chen suddenly felt tempted, but restraining a Quasi-Saint is a very Dangerous matter. There’s no guarantee he won’t turn on me at any moment. With my Strength, I might be killed in an instant without even having the Time to extinguish his Divine Soul.

Lin Chen turned to Zhen Liuxue, "Senior, what do you say?"

Zhen Liuxue laughed, "After all, he’s a Quasi-Saint. He’s been diminished, yes, but it would still be a pity to kill him. Do you want to take him in?"

Lin Chen replied frankly, "As he said, no matter how diminished, he’s still more formidable than a Daluo Initial Immortal. But this guy is no good person; he’s full of schemes. Having him beside me means I have to be on my guard, fearful of his treachery at any moment!"

Seizing a glimmer of hope for survival, Taoist Duan Tian hastily made his vow, "Now all I ask for is to live. As long as you spare me, I can swear an oath and accept any restrictions you impose. I don’t want to die, so I wouldn’t dare to play any tricks..."
