Chapter 2009: Chapter 2009: I Will Definitely Save You
“Uh!”
This time, Leng Yikun truly sensed something. It wasn’t someone invisible in the chamber trying to attack him, but something inside his own stomach.
But that couldn’t be right. With all the medicine he had consumed over the years, even a multitude of insects wouldn’t be able to survive in his stomach, right?
“Is there someone? Inside my body?”
He asked aloud, having read numerous books left by the people of Wulong Mountain, he knew there were many array formations that could use a human body as a vessel.
“If there is someone, could you give me a couple of pains?” he tentatively asked.
The next moment, he felt as though his stomach was kicked twice. Although it was still just pain, he could distinctly tell it was two instances, not a continuous pain.
“Is there really someone?”
He couldn’t believe it. How could someone like him, hidden away in a chamber, be used as a vessel to confine someone else? It was utterly inconceivable.
And who could the unfortunate person be, confined like that?
He thought it must be someone from the Eternal Night Sect. If his own body was being used as a vessel, Leng Nicen was most likely the person being targeted.
“Is it Nicen? Are you in my body?” he asked.
Inside, An Jiuyue rolled her eyes.
Who, having nothing better to do, would put Leng Nicen inside your body and make you kill each other?
With this lousy array, the person most likely to die was the one used as a vessel. The Evil Spirit Universe targeted her precisely because she seemed more vulnerable, not as murderously cold-blooded as the previous High Priest Demon Heart.
Unable to resist, she stomped her foot to signal a ‘no.’
Yet, the outside Leng Yikun could not grasp her thoughts. Feeling another pain in his stomach, he thought it was indeed Leng Nicen signaling to him.
“Nicen, wait, I’ll go find father and figure out a way to rescue you.”
Leng Yikun was genuinely anxious. He had seen many vicious cultivation methods and array formations, but it was his first time encountering one that used one person’s body to trap another.
Moreover, he and Leng Nicen were brothers, born of the same father.
Thinking he needed to rescue the person urgently, he couldn’t sit still anymore and hurried out of the chamber towards the direction of the stone chamber.
“Did I make him misunderstand the direction?” Inside, An Jiuyue looked towards Qian Jiyun and asked hesitantly.
“It’s all the same.”
Qian Jiyun smirked and wrapped an arm over her shoulder.
Whether it’s Leng Nicen or them, as long as Sect Master Leng investigates who is missing within the Sect, he would find out it was them.
…
In the stone chamber, Leng Yiyu was brought before Sect Master Leng by the Second Elder.
“Yiyu, you are aware of the arranged marriage with the young master of the Tusu Sect, aren’t you?” Sect Master Leng broached directly, not wanting to waste too many words with his daughter.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yiyu’s heart skipped a beat.
Her aim was to become the Young Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect; she had no desire to move so far away to marry the young master of the Tusu Sect and become a minor wife among the sect leaders.
The title of a Young Mistress might sound appealing, but in reality, it came with no real power at all.
Moreover, the Tusu Sect was just a small sect, nowhere near comparable to the Eternal Night Sect, the Number One Sect of the Eternal Night Plane. The Tusu Sect couldn’t even match a single finger of the Eternal Night Sect.
“Father, I am aware of it, but the Tusu Sect hasn’t sent anyone over these years, have they? They probably don’t wish to acknowledge this marriage arrangement, right?”
