Chapter 985

Chapter 985 Heavenly Voice

Standing aside quietly, Clay Bodhisattva did not say anything more.

“What do you plan to do with that girl?” asked Madam Nalan suddenly.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the thin and weak figure in the corner. There was a cluster of pale silver light around her delicate body. She seemed to have lost her vitality. She knelt on the ground and put her palms together before her chest. Her eyes were closed and her head was slightly raised. She was praying devoutly…

It was Nalan Chu.

“The restriction formation left by the owner of the Red Stone Manor is very powerful. I can’t break it for the time being.” Nalan Xingde frowned. The girl was just a useless good-for-nothing. If he hadn’t wanted to take Nalan Youxia back, why would he bring a little girl back? Nalan Xin wanted to kill this burden, but he was blocked by the cluster of pale silver light and was almost injured.

That was the protective restriction formation that the wild girl’s master had left on her.

Nalan Xingde couldn’t break it for the time being.

Thinking of the situation when he saw the owner of the Red Stone Manor that day, Nalan Xingde still felt a lingering fear in his heart. That was indeed a very terrible master. There were countless people who practiced physical cultivation in the Vast Ocean under his command and they were as fierce as tigers. The owner of the Red Stone Manor could be regarded as a hero, and he was absolutely terrible.

Now that Nalan Xingde thought about it, that man still had some doubts about him. The man did not really believe what Nalan Xingde said that day, so the man left a restriction formation and a signal for seeking help on Nalan Chu’s body. Unfortunately, so what? The man did not know what Nalan Xingde was planning at all and still fell into the latter’s trap.

The signal for seeking help sent by the girl was blocked by the tactical deployment on the wall of the secret chamber. It wasn’t sent out.

If it were in normal times, Nalan Xingde would really not dare to go against a man like the owner of the Red Stone Manor. It would be a disaster if the whole Nalan family provoked such a man. Nalan Xingde would not dare to do anything to Nalan Chu and her brother, but now the situation was different. Nalan Xingde believed that that man had entered the Saint-alighting Mountain Range, and it was uncertain whether the man could come out alive. Even if the man was lucky enough to survive and seek revenge on Nalan Xingde, by then, the latter would no longer be afraid of the former.

The girl was protected by the restriction formation, so Nalan Xingde couldn’t kill her for the time being. If something unexpected happened in the long term, it would be very troublesome.

The girl who was originally weak and obedient suddenly questioned Nalan Xingde aggressively. As he thought about it, he still felt a little guilty in his heart, but this trace of guilt was quickly dispelled by greed and desire.

He raised his hand, and a sharp Sword Light rushed toward Nalan Chu.

Ding!

The crisp sound of a sword rang out.

The Sword Light was blocked by the cluster of silver light around Nalan Chu’s body, and bright sparks burst out. It was much like pieces of metal colliding with each other.

Nalan Chu’s small body suddenly trembled.

She opened her eyes.

When she looked at him with the pair of eyes as clear as water, for some reason, Nalan Xingde’s heart trembled slightly.

“Let go of my brother, Nalan Xingde. If you still have a little humanity, let go of Youxia. Is this why you took us back?” said Nalan Chu word by word. Her voice was no longer as obedient as it was in the past when she saw Nalan Xingde. Instead, she sounded as if she were talking to the most hated stranger.

“Impossible,” said Nalan Xingde firmly.

Nalan Chu’s eyes were instantly filled with despair.

This was not the first time she had begged the man in front of her to let go of her brother.

But every time she got the answer, she felt great despair, as if it was the most terrifying nightmare.

This time, the word “impossible” completely shattered Nalan Chu’s last wishful thinking in her heart. It also made her completely give up her last fantasy about the man in front of her. She had given up a fantasy about a father she had kept in her heart for a long time.

Nalan Chu still clearly remembered everything that happened six hours ago.

This man, who had been kind to her and her brother since he brought them back to the Nalan family, suddenly brought them to this underground secret chamber. At that time, she and her brother were not on guard at all. With trust in the man who had the same blood as theirs flowing in his body, they came to this prepared prison while talking and laughing…

They were suddenly facing his betrayal and scheme.

Her brother did not even struggle when he was fixed at the center of the tactical deployment.

Nalan Chu remembered everything that happened four hours ago.

Nalan Xingde issued a cruel order to activate the tactical deployment. Her brother’s panicked and painful screams came from the tactical deployment. She knelt on the ground in horror and begged for mercy. The cold and cruel guards of the Nalan family appeared. Especially when the woman wearing the phoenix hairpin showed up, the man, who had answered to her every request for more than ten days, showed a grim and disdainful expression…

All the cruelest scenes converged into one. At this moment, her beautiful fantasy about her father and her family began to slowly collapse like sand sculptures in the wind…

Why did her mother fall in love with such a man back then?

Nalan Chu’s pleading at the beginning turned into complete despair. The time seemed to be as long as countless epochs.

If it weren’t for the restriction formation left by her master, this man would have mercilessly killed her, just like killing a stray cat or dog. He did not care at all that she was his daughter. It turned out that these days it was just her wishful thinking. This man did not treat her and her brother as his children at all.

Everything was an illusion.

He did this just to get something from her brother’s body.

Nalan Chu felt things were unworthy of her mother’s effort. Her mother had waited for so many years, but the man, whom she could not forget until the last moment of her life, turned out to be such a scumbag. Was there anything more saddening than this in the world? For her mother, the luckiest thing was that the fantasy in her heart had not been shattered before she passed away.

Hearing her brother’s painful wails and roars, Nalan Chu suddenly felt an unquenchable hatred rising in her heart. In an instant, she was drowned by hatred.

“My master will come back and avenge us.”

Nalan Chu looked up at the sky and roared angrily. At this moment, her eyes, which were originally as clear as water, gradually became blood red, as if they had been soaked in blood. The tone of her voice was like a curse as if a ghost were complaining in the netherworld.

This color chilled Nalan Xingde’s heart in an instant.

The next moment, he became furious.

“Your master?” Nalan Xingde sneered and said, “Hahaha, it’s too late. Next time I see him, I will send him to see you and your brother… In this way, all the people you care about can be with you. Oh, by the way, your mother, you will soon be reunited with your mother. If you can see her in the arms of the stars, I believe she will be very happy, won’t she?”

“You’re really a beast. Nalan Xingde, you’re worse than pigs or dogs.”

Nalan Chu trembled all over. She pointed to the man in front of her. She didn’t have much experience in society, so she couldn’t understand why there was such a shameless and despicable man in the world. However, such a despicable man was her closest relative.

Compared with her master, this man was a scumbag.

Nalan Xingde laughed out loud. In the face of his daughter’s accusation, the last trace of guilt in his heart disappeared in an instant. He said disdainfully, “Your life was given by me. My blood is flowing in your body. What right do you have to reproach me? I am your father. As children, you should pay me back at all costs. You are my property, just like my armor, swords, clothes, and those warriors of the Nalan family who are ready to die for me at any time. You should give everything to me. This is your value.”

Nalan Chu raised her head high.

Her tone had never been so serious and determined. She said word by word, “I don’t know what you want to get from my brother, but from today on, we will have no relationship with you. I will return the blood flowing in my body to you…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl used two fingers of her right hand as a sword to cut the artery on her wrist.

Red blood spurted out.

Then, blood kept flowing out of the wound. Nalan Chu already had the strength above the Primordial Realm. Such a wound could be healed in a moment for her, but she controlled her Qi to squeeze out her blood little by little. In the blink of an eye, there was a large pool of blood around her…

The red blood was like broken petals withering on the ground.

“I will return your filthy blood to you…” said Nalan Chu firmly.

She knelt on the ground with her hands clasped together and closed her eyes again. She didn’t even look at Nalan Xingde, as if her eyes would be polluted by taking a look at this man. She heard her brother’s painful and angry roars, and the bright red blood flowed from her arm to the ground. She prayed wholeheartedly, calling out her master’s name…

“This is… Creature Blood Sacrifice?” Nalan Xingde’s pupils shrank slightly.

Vitality flowed out of Nalan Chu’s body little by little. Her life had quickly withered before it fully bloomed. Her skin finally became as white as jade showing no crimson color. Nalan Chu, who had never been so weak, was in a very strange state. She vaguely felt that she seemed to be floating and that her soul had left her body…

Right at this moment—

“Chu, it’s me. Where are you? What happened to you?” A heavenly voice sounded.

It was Ding Hao’s voice.

Nalan Chu was stunned. She had been in a strange blank state, but she didn’t expect to really hear her master’s voice. Just when she thought she was hallucinating, Ding Hao’s voice rang in her ear again—

“Chu, where are you? What has happened?”

This time, Nalan Chu had no doubts. It was really her master’s voice.

The heavenly voice sounded when she was in deepest despair.
