Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1478 Taking the Little Girl Away

The little girl Yao Ji wiped the grease from her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

A hint of helplessness and deep weariness flickered in her eyes. "Actually, I am not an ordinary demon. I am a descendant of the Nüxi clan. Legend has it that descendants of the Nüxi clan can awaken their bloodline inheritance upon reaching adulthood."

At that time, our blood will possess a special and powerful force, capable of helping cultivators break through bottlenecks and even attain enlightenment and transcendence.

At this point, Yao Ji's voice trembled slightly, as if recalling a painful experience. "And I am Gu Nanqiao, the young master of the Gu family, a plaything kept in Chang Le Sheng Dao City."

A seal has been placed within me, preventing me from leaving this city or escaping his control. He uses my blood to enhance his cultivation, yet he never cares about my feelings.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt an overwhelming surge of anger. He had originally thought that the Gu family, controlling the entire Zhongtong County, was at least a reputable and righteous sect.

However, it now appears that they are also people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

"So you mean," Lu Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, "that you stayed here not of your own volition?"

Yao Ji nodded, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes. "Yes, I tried to escape, but each time I was caught and punished even more severely. Over time, I gave up struggling and just hoped to live each day in peace."

Seeing that I had given up on escaping, they realized that keeping me locked up would hinder my growth and that my awakened bloodline was not pure enough, so they let me roam freely in this Chang Le Sheng Dao City.

Brother Lu, you approached me not just to suck my blood, but also to do so.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt a wave of embarrassment. What was all this about? When had he ever coveted her bloodline? Any treasure in his Golden Pearl World was more precious than her blood.

"Yao Ji," Lu Chen tried to make his voice sound as gentle as possible.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of good things, I don't need your blood at all, and I won't harm you."

Moreover, I will try my best to help you out of this predicament, if you are willing.

Yao Ji raised her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she regained her composure. She said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, but this matter is not so simple."

Gu Nanqiao is not only a powerful expert at the Transformation Realm, but he also has the entire Gu family as his backer. Their influence here is immense, and almost no one dares to provoke them.

Lu Chen frowned, pondering his next move. He knew that directly confronting the Gu family would be tantamount to courting death.

I can't even beat Gu Beichen's maid, so Gu Nanqiao must have subordinates at the Dao Integration Realm as well. It seems I need to find a way to break through to the Dao Transformation Realm to have some self-defense capability in Zhongtong County.

At this moment, Hao Yun sighed and said, "Brother Lu, please forgive me for speaking frankly since you treated me to drinks. The Gu family is not to be trifled with in Zhongtong County. Don't act rashly."

In his view, Lu Chen, a cultivator at the Dao Cultivation Realm, was not a reckless person despite his sense of justice. He believed that Lu Chen would be able to see the situation clearly after his kind advice.

After hearing about Yao Ji's plight, the Jade Purity Saint looked at her helplessly and sighed that this was a world where the strong prey on the weak, and sometimes living was not as good as dying.

However, just when the two thought Lu Chen would give up, he said solemnly, "Sister Yao Ji, my daughter is about your age. I really can't bear to see you suffer. I believe you know very well that if you continue to stay here, you will definitely die in the future. I have a small world. Would you be willing to follow me from now on?"

Upon hearing this, both Hao Yun and the Jade Purity Saint were shocked. They hadn't expected that Lu Chen, knowing that the Gu family was not to be trifled with, would still interfere in the little girl's affairs.

Looking into Lu Chen's sincere eyes, Yao Ji hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Brother Lu, I believe you."

"Aren't you afraid that I'm also lying to you for your blood?" Lu Chen then asked.

"I'm not afraid. The fact that Brother Lu thought of your daughter because of me shows that he is a kind person. Besides, if Brother Lu really needs my blood, it's only a matter of time. If I can see the outside world before I die, I will have no regrets," Yao Ji said firmly, completely different from her previous timid demeanor.

"You don't need to be so pessimistic. I said I wouldn't covet your blood, and I definitely won't. I'll let you leave when the time is right. Don't resist. I'll send you into the small world and then take you away." Lu Chen smiled and found Yao Ji's fearless attitude towards life and death quite adorable.

"Now?" Yao Ji subconsciously looked around, a look of worry in her eyes.

“That’s right, right now. Anyway, if I take you away, the Gu family will find out sooner or later. It doesn’t really matter whether we change locations or not,” Lu Chen said confidently.

Having cultivated to their level, possessing small worlds and magical treasures is not uncommon. Since he had already decided to take Yao Ji away, he had already devised a plan.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen enveloped Yao Ji with his divine sense, and the next second, Yao Ji instantly disappeared from the spot.

The other cultivators around were surprised to see this. They were not surprised that Yao Ji was taken away, but rather that Lu Chen actually took Yao Ji away in public.

"Since that's the case, Brother Lu, you'd better leave Zhongtong County as soon as possible. I have a Void Teleportation Talisman here, I hope it can help you." Seeing that things had come to this, Hao Yun could only offer his best help. He took out a talisman and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen hadn't expected Hao Yun, whom he'd just met, to be so loyal. After pushing back the talisman Hao Yun offered, he politely declined:

“Brother Hao! I, Lu Chen, will remember your kindness, but I cannot accept this Void Teleportation Talisman, because I am a talisman master myself, and I have many other life-saving talismans.”

As he spoke, Lu Chen took out several avatar talismans from his storage ring and handed them to Hao Yun.

“This is an external avatar talisman,” Lu Chen explained. “It can play a very good role in confusing people at critical moments. Even if you encounter danger, it can buy you precious time to escape.”

Upon seeing this, Hao Yun immediately felt embarrassed. He hadn't even given away his own things, so how could he possibly accept Lu Chen's?

However, he also knew the value of the external avatar talisman. Such talismans were extremely rare on the market and were a life-saving item that many cultivators dreamed of. If he refused, he would only appear pretentious.

So he laughed awkwardly and said, "Alright then, I'm sure I made a good friend of yours."

Hao Yun took the talisman and examined it carefully, his goodwill towards Lu Chen increasing even more. He knew that true friends were rare in this treacherous world, and Lu Chen was clearly one of them.

"I heard that Phantom Canyon will host a grand alchemy gathering," Hao Yun continued, "and many powerful figures from all over the world will gather here at that time."

"If we can offer something valuable and gain the protection of a powerful figure, I believe even Gu Nanqiao would think twice before killing you."
