Chapter 525: Chapter 525
"You, a demon who has lived for thousands of years, still call me sister?"
Qin Zhao looked at him indifferently, curious about Chu Yan’s fiancée, but she wouldn’t reveal it in front of Luo Han.
Last time was a lesson, he probably wanted to use this to scheme against her again.
"What does that matter?"
His long, thick lashes slightly lowered, he chuckled.
"How could someone like Chu Yan be worthy of you?"
"What happens between him and me is none of your business."
"Oh? What do you think about all this?"
Luo Han raised his hand, and a watery curtain appeared in front of Qin Zhao.
This curtain wasn’t attacking her; it showed the situation in Red Mountain Town.
"An Abnormal Beast Zheng has appeared in the Mortal World’s Red Mountain Town, and the Netherworld Emperor dispatched King Chujiang to deal with it. This beast is no ordinary mutant beast, but one from the Immortal Realm."
On the water curtain, the silhouettes of several unconscious people appeared.
Qin Zhao immediately spotted Chu Yan and lying next to him, Qingdai.
Their positions on the ground were quite clever.
At a glance, it seemed like Chu Yan was holding Qingdai in his arms.
"This is Princess Qingdai of the Immortal Realm, who has come here specifically for Chu Yan. It is said by both the Immortal and Netherworld that they are a match made in heaven."
Luo Han’s voice continued, but Qin Zhao felt somewhat unable to hear clearly.
In her eyes and mind, all she could see was the image of Chu Yan protecting Qingdai.
"Qin Zhao, you’ve been apart from him for so long, do you think he is still the same person in your memory? In this world, can someone truly forsake the supreme path to pursue a so-called intangible love?
Chu Yan is not only the King Chujiang of the Netherworld but also the Qingyan God personally appointed by the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Emperor’s future son-in-law. What are you as a humble cultivator who hasn’t even ascended?"
Seeing Qin Zhao’s face change, Luo Han smiled contentedly.
"Why not come with me, and I can make you much stronger. Even if Chu Yan has a fiancée, he will not be your match sooner or later.
Only by making yourself stronger can you avoid being controlled by others."
He spoke softly, his voice carrying a hint of deceit.
Luo Han’s words indeed caused great emotional turmoil in Qin Zhao, but they were not enough to make her lose her sanity.
"And you think you’re any better?"
Her expression was tinged with scorn, "So what if he has a fiancée? I never planned to hang on him all my life. In other words, it’s good that he has a fiancée.
There are plenty of men in the world; I’m not short of just him."
Before Luo Han could react, Qin Zhao had closed the door.
"Tsks, she didn’t fall for it."
He touched his nose, looking somewhat disappointed.
Luo Han stared at the tightly closed door, his eyes flickering dark and light, eventually showing more interest.
He did not leave immediately, attempting to enter the apartment, but he could not gain access; Chu Yan had arranged an Array inside, shielding it from those with ulterior motives.
Qin Zhao returned to the living room and quietly sat on the sofa.
In her mind, Luo Han’s words kept flashing.
She scoffed at herself with a smirk, "What’s there to care about? If he really has a fiancée, isn’t it just the right opportunity to break it off with him?"
In the Netherworld, the Netherworld Emperor summoned Chu Yan.
"Has the issue with the Abnormal Beast Zheng been resolved?"
Chu Yan nodded, "Cheng Wu released Zheng, and the Immortal Emperor’s incarnation appeared."
It was precisely because of this that the Netherworld Emperor urgently summoned Chu Yan.
"Before summoning you, I received a decree from the Immortal Realm."
The Netherworld Emperor governed the Netherworld. Although he was equal in status to the Immortal Emperor, in recent years the development of the Netherworld had not kept pace with that of the Immortal Realm, and he still had to comply with some of the Immortal Realm’s restrictions.
"Does it concern me?"
Chu Yan looked at the Netherworld Emperor, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Abnormal Beast Zheng is an Immortal Beast, deliberately released into the Mortal World by Cheng Wu, attempting to create a Purgatory in the Mortal World. The Immortal Emperor’s incarnation appeared just in time to deal with Zheng, but he also discovered something."
The Netherworld Emperor lifted his hand, and a small golden finger bone appeared on the table.
"Within Zheng’s body was a Divine Monarch’s skeleton. This Divine Monarch had a unique Fate Diagram and profound cultivation, just a small section of finger bone was enough to enhance Zheng’s power."
Seeing the finger bone on the table, Chu Yan furrowed his brow.
Because this finger bone was the very one he gave to Luo Han, why was it inside Zheng?
The Netherworld Emperor said to him, "You recognize it, don’t you? Why is your finger bone in Zheng’s body? After Cheng Wu escaped, did you have any contact with him?"
"Whether you did or not, the Immortal Emperor will surely suspect you."
"Then let him suspect."
The Netherworld Emperor sighed, "Why do you still have such arrogant temperament? When you were in the Immortal Realm, you offended so many people. If the Immortal Emperor hadn’t favored you, do you think you could have left the Immortal Realm alive?
The Immortal Emperor has always wanted you to be his son-in-law, which is why you have been safe until now!
Now you are together with Qin Zhao, and she even has a child.
If the Immortal Emperor finds out about this, how could he possibly still tolerate you?"
The Netherworld Emperor mentioned Qin Zhao, and Chu Yan fell silent.
He had almost forgotten, he was no longer the solitary figure who could act recklessly.
"The Immortal Emperor entrusted the finger bone to me to investigate its owner. Do you think he doesn’t know it’s yours?"
"Even you can see it, he probably can too."
The Netherworld Emperor paused, then realized, "What do you mean by that? Maybe he hasn’t figured it out! My cultivation isn’t much less than his! Not worse than him!"
Chu Yan couldn’t be bothered with him, was now the time to compare such things?
Cheng Wu was released by Chu Yan, but he had prepared early and pinned the blame on King Zhuanlun.
However, he didn’t expect that King Zhuanlun’s incarnation, Luo Han, having acquired his finger bone, would actually use it to frame him and Cheng Wu.
Calculating back and forth, it still fell on his head.
"The Immortal Emperor said this finger bone must be from someone in the Netherworld, and ordered me to investigate thoroughly. Cheng Wu was also detained in the Netherworld Abyss before he suddenly ran out and caused trouble. We in the Netherworld also need to give the Immortal Realm an explanation."
"The finger bone is indeed mine, but I have no connection with Cheng Wu."
Even if there was a connection, he could not admit it now.
Chu Yan and Cheng Wu’s relationship hadn’t reached the point where they shared weal and woe—it was still time to cast aside when necessary.
Earlier, he asked this fellow to investigate whether Nan Xian of the Immortal Realm was truly dead, but this fellow didn’t investigate properly, always causing trouble outside instead.
"Why was your finger bone in Zheng’s body?"
"Obviously, someone is framing me. Someone previously threatened Qin Zhao’s life to make me hand over a section of the finger bone."
The Nether Emperor raised his voice, agitated, "You just gave it up? Chu Yan, have you lost your mind? How could you casually hand over such a thing?"
