What Yan Ruyu cared about most was not that Lu Chen would destroy the entire Heavenly Demon Palace Trial Tower, as that was of no use to her.
But she was afraid that Lu Chen would destroy the statue she was inhabiting. If that happened, even if she regained her freedom and left the Demon-Suppressing Tower, her soul would wither away without a vessel until it completely disappeared.
That's why she was constantly threatened by Lu Chen.
But now, seeing the statue with her own eyes, she was powerless and Yan Ruyu was filled with despair.
"Um?"
Seeing Yan Ruyu's expression, Lu Chen suddenly had a thought and smiled.
"So, this statue is what you care about most, huh!"
Hongluan stared at the statue in a daze for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Master, this is a statue made of divine jade from outer space. It has the effect of nourishing the soul. I think the reason why the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace was able to parasitize this statue is because of this divine jade!"
"Really? It seems to be an unexpected bonus!"
Lu Chen smiled.
Hongluan suddenly transmitted her voice: "Master, the material of your White Cloud Palace is actually the same as this divine jade, but it is of a lower grade. The White Cloud Palace is actually a damaged palace magic treasure. You can try to see if you can use this divine jade to repair it!"
"Yeah?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately moved the statue to the White Cloud Palace.
Lu Chen had always been suspicious because the White Cloud Palace could change shape, but its interior space was extremely large. He only knew that it was made of a magical spiritual jade.
Now it seems that, like the statue of Yan Ruyu, this is a kind of divine jade from outer space.
Lu Chen even wondered if this outer world was indeed incredibly magical, just as he had guessed before, what was at the end of the starry sky?
Lu Chen took the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda out of the White Cloud Palace and placed the statue inside.
Suddenly, the White Cloud Palace and the statue simultaneously emitted a soft light, and then began to merge with each other, gradually becoming one.
Then, an exquisite little palace appeared in Lu Chen's hand. It was only the size of a fist, crystal clear like jade, and emanated a mysterious aura, as if it could tear through space.
"Huh?"
Lu Chen was startled.
Although he didn't understand the principle behind it, Lu Chen, as the owner of this thing, was able to know what was happening in the White Cloud Palace at this moment.
This Celestial Jade is actually a unique material with spatial properties and magical functions. The previous White Cloud Palace was actually made of a similar material, but it changed after being fused with this Celestial Jade.
With a thought, Lu Chen entered the small palace.
"I have a feeling that this thing is unusual. How exactly did the Dragon Emperor refine it in the past?"
Hongluan explained from the side, "This was originally a personal palace treasure of the Dragon Emperor, containing an independent space. However, it was incomplete, probably damaged after the great battle. Now that it has been fused with the Celestial Jade, it should have been partially repaired!"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not enough. As far as I know, repairing this palace is not easy!"
Hongluan smiled bitterly; she didn't know much either.
"Forget it! I don't care anymore!"
Lu Chen had no other choice but to leave it aside for now, since he didn't need to do it himself.
"Yan Ruyu, what about those people who were sucked into this trial tower before? Don't tell me they're all dead, because I don't believe it!"
Lu Chen knew that Yan Ruyu wanted to turn all these people into blood slaves to serve her, but blood slaves had no intelligence and only knew how to obey orders, so they were not very useful.
She still needs some normal subordinates.
Therefore, Yan Ruyu may not necessarily turn these people into blood slaves, but rather control their souls.
Why do you care about those people?
Yan Ruyu was already weak and powerless.
Lu Chen laughed and said, "If they are not dead, of course we should rescue them all. Of course, we don't need to rescue the demon race and the demonic sect. Let them die!"
"Heh! Do you think I'd be threatened by you? You want to save them? Impossible!"
Yan Ruyu sneered.
"Really? I was thinking of finding you a suitable body to possess later, but it seems I should give up now!" Lu Chen sighed, looking regretful.
"Huh? You're willing to find a physical body for me?"
Yan Ruyu suddenly became excited.
Lu Chen immediately sensed an opportunity and said, "No, I only help my own people. Who are you?"
"I... Hmph! You think I don't know your little schemes? Fine, if you can help me find a suitable body, what harm is there in releasing you human cultivators?"
Yan Ruyu suddenly said, "This girl beside you is quite good. As long as you lock her in the Demon Suppression Tower and let me possess her body, I will give you huge benefits. You can also cultivate with her. You've been eyeing this girl's body for a long time, haven't you? Haha!"
Lu Chen curled his lip and said with a disdainful look, "Give up. Although this girl is the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, she has no grudge against me. Compared to her, you are no better!"
Lu Chen didn't want this old devil to see the light of day again.
Moreover, he was not confident in the Demon Suppression Tower. If the old demon successfully possessed him, he was not sure if he could control her. After all, the Demon Suppression Tower could only suppress demons and beasts. Although it had some effect on souls, humans were the most intelligent of all beings. With the old demon's cultivation level, who knew if he had any other underhanded tricks up his sleeve?
We can't take that risk.
"snort!"
Yan Ruyu snorted coldly and ignored Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said no more.
After a long while, Yan Ruyu finally couldn't hold back and said, "If this girl won't do, then another one will do. It's that little girl in purple. Although her aptitude is a bit lacking, she's still passable!"
