Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 534 - 453: Sorry to Disappoint You, You Tomboy!

"Is Chu Jiang the piece that the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity placed in the Blue Star Federation?"

"And not only replacing a person, but even directly granting the usage rights of an entire branch of the Primordial Dao to the Shadow?"

Wu Luo True Monarch’s face changed dramatically.

"So, we’ve been exposed?"

"Yes, we’ve been exposed."

Su Yuan nodded helplessly.

The last time, they were not discovered under the nose of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s avatar because that avatar didn’t contain much of the Primordial Dao, it was just a powerful Shadow.

But now, the Primordial Dao controlled by Chu Jiang crushed them with absolute advantage, exposure had become inevitable!

As the situation couldn’t be reversed, the last few words exchanged between Su Yuan and Su Youli were no longer through voice transmission, but were directly heard by everyone present.

The expressions of the Star River Celestial Monarch, Chen Nuoyi, and Qi Hanyan also changed as they vigilantly looked at Chu Jiang.

And this Celestial Monarch Taixu, who had been so kind before, slowly curled his lips into a strange smile.

"Originally, I planned to act a little longer, but someone was impatient and couldn’t help but reveal the truth."

"Haha, this kind of game isn’t very fun."

Chu Jiang’s tone gradually became sinister, and his gaze fell on Su Yuan like a venomous snake, coldly saying:

"Unexpectedly, after an era, another cultivator has walked upon the Primordial Dao. It seems you even managed to hide from the main body over there."

"However, you’ve ultimately been discovered, and threats like you should be eliminated as soon as possible."

Hearing these bone-chilling words, Su Yuan took a deep breath, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

Although he had already anticipated being exposed one day when he took on the task of detecting whether the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs had been replaced, the actual exposure still left him with an uncontrollable shiver.

After all, once this Abyssal Shadow reported the news to the main body, the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity would spare no effort to deal with him.

Not only him, but the flames of war might directly ignite the entire Blue Star Federation.

This is the risk of facing the Immortal Tribulation.

At this moment, a figure dressed in a moon-white gown suddenly stood out, and the voice belonging to the Star River Celestial Monarch followed with a coldness akin to a dead silent star:

"You monster created by the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, how dare you assassinate my friend! You must pay the price!"

"I will kill you here! I absolutely won’t let you harm my daughter’s friend!"

Listening to the Star River Celestial Monarch’s stern voice, the heavy heart of Su Yuan suddenly felt a lot lighter, turning into a sense of strong security!

In such an important matter of dealing with foreign enemies, Senior Qi didn’t seem like one who would fumble!

Although he didn’t know the differences in strength between the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs, based on the performance when the Star River Celestial Monarch helped them escape from the Immortal Realm, this pink-haired Fairy probably possessed strength above that of an ordinary Divinity Transformation.

Come on! You must eliminate this damn Shadow!

"Qi Anong, your power ranks second among the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs. Together with the Immortal Treasure ’All Heaven Star Battle Array’ of the Star River Dao Sect, you can indeed kill me, and I might not even have the chance to escape."

In the face of the Star River Celestial Monarch’s threat, the Shadow of Chu Jiang acknowledged the strength of the woman in front of him.

But then, he calmly said:

"However, that premise is based on my having no help at all. I have been laying out my plans in the Blue Star Federation under the identity of Chu Jiang for so long; how could I not have prepared enough trump cards?"

"For example... the Immortal Treasure, the Taixu Illusion Realm, which influences the entire Federation."

As he spoke, the Shadow of Chu Jiang flipped his palm, revealing a magnificent virtual world in the eyes of the astonished Star River Celestial Monarch.

From that palm-sized world illusion, the people playing inside it could be vaguely seen.

This was not a real world, but a world of illusions created by the Taixu Illusion Realm.

However... though the illusion was false, the people playing in it were real. They were the Federation citizens who, after purchasing a Taixu Sect login cabin, entered the illusion to either experience virtual reality games or undergo rigorous training.

"Are you planning to hold all the Taixu Illusion Realm users online in the Federation hostage to threaten us?"

Wu Luo True Monarch asked coldly.

Chu Jiang smiled faintly:

"Isn’t it obvious?"

"I can give you three options."

"First is to let me leave with the Taixu Illusion Realm, second is to exchange Su Yuan for the control of the Taixu Illusion Realm, and third is to bear the infamy of killing millions of people to forcibly kill me."

"Of course, even if you don’t care about anything else, you still might not be able to kill me. My trump card is not limited to the Taixu Illusion Realm, but also that branch of the Primordial Dao."

As his words ran out, silence fell over the scene.

For everyone understood that none of the three options could be chosen.

Letting Chu Jiang go would mean handing over the information of Su Yuan mastering the Primordial Dao to the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

Exchanging Su Yuan for the lives of millions would mean Su Yuan’s death, nullifying their only trump card to face the Immortal Tribulation.

As for the third option, it wasn’t even worth considering.

Chocolate that tastes like shit or shit that tastes like chocolate, which one should they choose?

After some consideration, temporarily letting Chu Jiang go seemed like the most acceptable option.

After all, the main body’s return would still require time, during which they could prepare as much as possible for the impending assault from the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

But under such hasty preparation, the probability of the Blue Star Federation being entirely destroyed would likely exceed ninety percent.

But at this moment, a sudden voice echoed through the scene.

"I think there can be a fourth option: the users of the Taixu Illusion Realm won’t die, Su Yuan won’t die, and you won’t get away."

At the instant the voice rose, everyone on Su Yuan’s side and the Shadow of Chu Jiang were drawn to the source of the voice.

They followed the source of the sound and eventually locked their gaze on the Tribulation Moon Pearl worn on Su Yuan’s wrist.

In the next moment, without Su Yuan opening the Tribulation Moon Space, a figure stepped out from the Tribulation Moon Pearl.

A person dressed in a clubbing-style outfit, too handsome to determine gender.

It was Chu Lanxi.

At the sight of Chu Lanxi, the Star River Celestial Monarch’s beautiful eyes widened slightly:

"You wouldn’t happen to be Chu Jiang, would you? When did you become so handsome in modeling?"

Chu Lanxi glanced at the old friend, chuckled, and said:

"Gender is settled, male, are you disappointed, you tomboy!"

The Star River Celestial Monarch’s face stiffened, grumbling:

"You are so narcissistic. Even if you ended up female, I wouldn’t fancy you. My heart belongs entirely to Youli, never again experiencing joy or sorrow."

After a pause, she curiously asked:

"How did you survive? I heard that Abyssal Shadows can only continue to exist long-term by devouring their main bodies?"

Chu Lanxi smiled faintly:

"That’s true, and I indeed was devoured, from body to soul."

"However, the Illusion Dao is the strangest of all the Great Daos under the heavens, while others perfect the false into the real, I cultivate the real into the false."

"With the power of the Illusion Dao, I fabricated a false True Spirit just in time, letting it suffer in my place, while my real True Spirit feigned death to escape, slowly gathering strength with a new body."

"Here I am, I’ve blended in as the Saint Heir of the Taixu Sect."
