Chapter 583 If we meet, we should run away if we can!
"Ahem~!"
As soon as Lin Que spoke, the mysterious man coughed twice and his expression became somewhat evasive!
What the hell!
You little brat, are you really that blunt?!
At this moment, the mysterious man inwardly scoffed...
"Um... well... cough cough, let's not talk about that for now."
"Could you tell me how she is doing now?"
Zhang Mengde and Lin Qian'er, standing to the side, were astonished. It was the first time they had ever heard the mysterious man speak in such a hesitant and somewhat embarrassed tone.
If we could see the mysterious man's face clearly, we would have been able to guess how interesting his expression would be right now!
Upon hearing this, Lin Que smiled and said, "Good, City Lord Zhou is doing very well now!"
"Ok?"
"Lord Zhou?"
What does this title mean?
Lin Que's words surprised the mysterious man.
"It means exactly what it says." But after stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Lin Que felt something was off, so he continued, "Well... to be precise, it should be the lord of two cities."
"But I destroyed one city."
Ok? ? ?
Lord of the two cities?
You destroyed a city?
What does this mean?
The mysterious man looked completely bewildered, as if a series of question marks had appeared above his head.
Seeing this, Lin Que quickly said, "Uh, senior, there's no need to worry about that!"
"Anyway, City Lord Zhou is a very nice person now, and we have a very good relationship!"
"You can rest assured, senior!"
"However, it seems that she has some conflicts with her family and doesn't really talk to her brother."
Lin Que thought of Zhou Qingyao's attitude towards Zhou Qi back then. Since she really was her old flame, there was no need to hide this fact. He told him the truth about Zhou Qingyao's situation.
However, Zhou Qingyao seemed to really like Zhou Ke'er.
Upon hearing Lin Que say that Zhou Qingyao was doing well, the mysterious man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and automatically ignored the two city lords and such.
"That's good. The reason she's having conflicts with her family is probably because of me."
"In that case, could you please pass on a message to her for me?"
"Zhuang Xuan is well, there's no need to worry."
So the mysterious man's name is "Zhuang Xuan"! Zhang Mengde and Lin Qian'er only found out today; they had always called him "senior" before.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que asked somewhat curiously, "But Senior Zhuang Xuan, why don't you go and say it yourself?"
"I will go to the Illusionary Demon Continent again in a while. You can come with me then, senior."
However, after Lin Que finished speaking, Zhuang Xuan fell silent again, and this time the silence lasted for quite a while.
Just as Lin Que grew impatient and was about to say something more, Zhuang Xuan finally spoke, his tone both complex and forlorn...
"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't leave this Demon Cave."
"Because only in this Heavenly Demon Cave can I suppress the aura that wants to erode me."
"What do you mean by this, senior?" This question left Lin Que somewhat bewildered and confused.
"Since you've already been to the Illusionary Demon Continent, you must have encountered those cultivators who worship the Netherworld." Zhuang Xuan sighed slightly.
Only the next moment!
Zhuang Xuan slowly lifted the black robe that had been covering him...
However, the moment the black robe was lifted, an extremely dark and repulsive aura emanated from Zhuang Xuan's body!
Upon sensing this aura, Lin Que and the other two immediately became extremely horrified!
They all cried out in unison!
"Extraterritorial Demon!"
But soon, Lin Que snapped back to reality, frowned, and said with a serious expression, "No, Senior Zhuang Xuan was corrupted by the dark aura of the extraterrestrial demons."
"Just like those Chongming cultivators that you and I met in the Yin Ruins Secret Realm."
"However, Senior Zhuang Xuan's aura is more intense than theirs."
Clearly, this is what Lin Que said to Zhang Mengde.
It was only at this moment that Lin Que realized that the reason he couldn't detect Zhuang Xuan's cultivation aura was because of this black robe!
This black robe must be some kind of magical artifact used to conceal one's aura, and a very powerful one at that, otherwise it wouldn't be able to hide Lin Que's Taiqing Chaos Technique from detection.
However, this may also be because Lin Que's strength is still too weak, so the effects of the Taiqing Chaos Technique have not been brought into play.
"It seems you all knew." Zhuang Xuan was slightly surprised, but not too bad. He continued, "As you can see, it was their aura that corrupted us."
"Fortunately, this Heavenly Demon Cave is quite magical. Although I don't know what exists deep underground, staying here can help me suppress that aura and prevent me from sinking into it."
"But it only suppresses it; it can't completely eliminate it for me."
"So even though I miss the Illusionary Demon Continent terribly, I can only stay here and cannot leave."
That’s how it turns out…
Lin Que and the other two could hear the helplessness and longing in Zhuang Xuan's tone, but there was nothing they could do.
Corroded by the aura of extraterrestrial demons, there is currently no way to resolve this issue.
Although Lin Que possessed the Heaven and Earth Soul Heart Flame, he had tried to test it on a Chongming cultivator he had killed, but it didn't work well, let alone on Zhuang Xuan, whose aura was even stronger than that of the Chongming cultivators.
If he loses his mind, given Zhuang Xuan's strength, he will definitely cause a tragedy on the Fengtian Continent!
It's no wonder that Zhuang Xuan's promise of protection to Lin Qian'er and the others could only extend to the Heavenly Demon Cave, even though, as Zhuang Xuan said, he didn't know what existed beneath the Heavenly Demon Cave.
But the fact that it could suppress the aura of the extraterrestrial demons suggests that there must be some kind of treasure hidden beneath!
This also explains why so many demonic beasts inhabit the Heavenly Demon Cave.
Even though they knew there were treasures down there, Lin Que and the others didn't have any intention of getting involved. Putting aside whether Zhuang Xuan would agree or not, if they were to damage the environment of the Heavenly Demon Cave, the dark aura on Zhuang Xuan's body would no longer be able to be suppressed.
Then everything will be in trouble!
"By the way, kid, if you ever go to the Illusionary Demon Continent again, remember to be extremely careful of one person!"
"A truly terrifying person!"
After a moment of silence, Zhuang Xuan suddenly spoke to Lin Que in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que was slightly taken aback!
Sensing Zhuang Xuan's suddenly serious tone, Lin Que immediately became cautious!
"Who is the person you are referring to, senior?"
Zhuang Xuan paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak...
"That person is... the leader of the Chongming Divine Sect!"
You absolutely, positively must be careful!
"If you happen to run into them, remember this: run if you can!"
