Chapter 189: A Sudden Shift, A Seductive Offer
The First Elder lay sprawled in the crater, her limbs limp and motionless, as if she couldn’t comprehend what had just happened.
Lin Tianlu was about to speak, but he suddenly looked up, his eyes narrowed.
The woman beneath him vanished like a phantom.
“You possess incredible strength, to be able to escape my grasp so easily!”
The First Elder reappeared several meters away, taking a few steps back, her hand instinctively reaching for her cheek.
Although she was unharmed, her face was filled with shock.
Lin Tianlu stood up, dusting himself off, and chuckled. “I just have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to dealing with Yin magic users.”
The First Elder’s heart sank.
This man’s power was truly extraordinary!
The Moon Soul Prison, a secret weapon of the Moon Soul Sacred Sect, could only be opened from within by her and the Valley Master. Yet this man had escaped effortlessly.
His abilities were far beyond her imagination!
“…I apologize for my outburst.”
The First Elder took a deep breath, regaining her composure.
Her scattered aura converged, forming a thin, blood-red veil that clung to her voluptuous figure, swaying gently, accentuating her curves and the intricate markings on her skin, enhancing her seductive allure.
She covered her lips with her hand, her voice a soft, seductive purr.
“But your sudden attack was quite rude. Did you truly want to see me humiliated beneath you?”
“Please forgive me, Elder.” Lin Tianlu’s expression turned serious, and he bowed slightly. “I saw you attacking Ruoyu and the others. The situation seemed dire, so I had to intervene.”
“Protective of your wife… Fine, I’ll forgive your rudeness.”
The First Elder’s eyes flickered. “But you just escaped from the Moon Soul Prison. You haven’t spoken to anyone else. How did you know I wasn’t the Valley Master, but the First Elder?”
“It was just a guess.”
Seeing her sudden change in attitude, Lin Tianlu frowned slightly. “I heard from the Ninth Elder that during the Soul Moon formation, the Valley Master and the elders would be together. And I’ve met the Second Elder. You deliberately concealed your appearance, so the only possibility left was the First Elder.”
“You saw through my disguise from the beginning.”
The First Elder sighed, her expression complex. “I never thought I would be playing such a foolish role before your very eyes.”
“Sir, she’s trying to—”
Mao Ruoyu’s voice suddenly rang out from behind them, but a crimson wall, a hundred meters tall, rose from the ground, cutting off the ruins and her voice.
Lin Tianlu glanced back, then turned to the First Elder, who was lowering her blood-stained hand.
“Don’t worry. I’ve just separated the two areas temporarily, to avoid any distractions.”
“Are you willing to talk now, First Elder?”
“I never wanted to fight you.”
The First Elder sighed. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given those two girls a chance to undergo the trial, nor would I have allowed you to move freely within the valley, bending the rules for you.”
Lin Tianlu smiled gently. “You seem to think highly of me, First Elder.”
“I do.”
She walked towards him, her movements graceful and seductive, her curves swaying, her ample bosom heaving, her long legs, wrapped in a blood-red veil, tantalizingly visible.
“I’ve dabbled in many things over the centuries, including fortune-telling. I foresaw the arrival of a special individual, someone who would bring a turning point for our Moon Soul Sacred Sect. And you’ve earned the favor of Jingyun and the praise of the Second Elder. How could I not take notice?”
The First Elder’s lips curled into a seductive smile. “And after meeting you in person, I’m even more convinced… You’re an exceptional talent, Lin Tianlu, a rare gem, your future limitless. I must treat you with sincerity.”
As she stood before him, her beauty captivating, Lin Tianlu chuckled. “Such praise—”
“There’s no need for false modesty.”
She gently caressed his chest, her blood-red eyes gazing up at him, her voice soft and alluring. “To me, you’re a treasure beyond compare. I’m willing to do anything to keep you by my side. With your help, our Moon Soul Sacred Sect will flourish once again.”
“This is Ruoyu’s home. I’ll be sure to visit often.”
Lin Tianlu looked down at the seductive woman before him, his eyes narrowing. “But your actions, First Elder, don’t seem very benevolent. You just attacked Ruoyu and the others, seemingly intent on killing them.”
“It was just a lesson. I wouldn’t harm them. I know my limits.”
The First Elder chuckled. “Or are you angry that I hurt that meddling Azure Fox, Yun Yue?
Don’t forget, she’s a dangerous creature. She wreaked havoc a thousand years ago, her power unfathomable. If she has any malicious intentions, our Moon Soul Sacred Sect wouldn’t be able to withstand her wrath.”
“…”
“It seems you two are quite close.”
Seeing his silence, the First Elder sighed helplessly. “Fine, I’ll leave her alone. If you can introduce us, perhaps we can resolve our differences.”
Lin Tianlu sighed. “You’re truly understanding, First Elder.”
“Have I ever been cruel or unreasonable to you?”
“In that case, why don’t you dispel that strange phenomenon above the estate, First Elder? Disperse this Blood Soul Moon?”
The smile on the First Elder’s face vanished.
After a moment of silence, she said with a hint of disappointment, “Don’t you understand my intentions, Master Lin?”
“I assume you want to revive the Moon Soul Sacred Sect, to re-enter the world and seek power.” Lin Tianlu said in a deep voice. “But that ‘thing’ above us… it’s nothing but a disaster waiting to happen.”
The blood moon hanging in the sky was emitting a terrifying, blood-red mist that was spreading throughout the estate.
Ghostly wails echoed through the air, the tangible aura of hatred and resentment churning like a stormy sea. This was the most terrifying display of negative energy Lin Tianlu had ever witnessed.
If this blood moon was allowed to fully unleash its power, not only would the estate be destroyed, but the surrounding villages and towns would also suffer!
Its aura was even more powerful than the Luo Xing Crimson Beast!
“I’m willing to negotiate anything else, but not this Soul Moon.”
The First Elder narrowed her eyes, her voice low and menacing. “It’s a sacred artifact of our Moon Soul Sacred Sect. With its completion, our ancestors will be resurrected. I won’t let anything interfere.”
Lin Tianlu stared at her intently. “Do you truly believe you can control it?”
“Of course I—”
“—No.”
He interrupted her, his voice calm and firm. “You can’t control this Soul Moon. It will only lead to destruction.”
