Allure heard Shi Lang asking what she needed and she chuckled. The entire place echoed with her laughter, and Shi Lang sensed his heart tremble to the sound waves. The Terran calmed himself and heard the lady speak, "Your strength is not enough to give me anything."
Shi Lang was confused by this. Obviously, he knew that he was not strong, if so then why did this lady even mentioned a condition. This did not sit well with him. As he was thinking, Allure said, "I am trapped in this valley. I cannot go out. The only condition I ask from you is to help me break away from this binding."
Shi Lang was shocked, he did not expect this lady, who was so powerful that every move she made carried a hint of Dao Laws to be trapped in this valley. He was curious but did not know if he should ask her or not. Allure smiled at him and said, "Yes, I am trapped here."
Shi Lang asked in bewilderment, "How? You are a legendary beast, right?"
The lady nodded and replied, "Being Legendary beast does not make any difference if you are weak."
The Terran gulped a mouthful of saliva at this point. He asked, "Senior, can you tell me how you were trapped in this place?"
Allure sighed and said, "I was just a new Legendary beast, and someone from the moon wolf clan lusted after me. I refused to indulge his demands of courtship. Foxes and Wolves were at odds, and so one day when I left my territory and was searching for some herbs, that guy appeared. He was stronger than me, and cornered me in this valley."
Shi Lang was hooked to her story. He sat down on the ground to listen more attentively. Allure continued, "The wolf was the clan's Alpha and he was a strong person. When he thought he had me in the corner, I used my innate technique to charm him. When his guard was at the weakest, I asked him to kill himself."
The Terran was shocked and stood up straight like a spear in fright. He forgot that this lady could make him do her bidding with a blink of her eyes.
Allure smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"
Shi Lang nodded honestly, by now he knew very well that the lady could read the thoughts in his mind. He said, "I think it is necessary for me to have a guard up against everyone who is stronger than me. I do not wish to die cluelessly, at least."
Allure chuckled and said, "You are an amusing one, Human."
Shi Lang asked, "Senior, I do not understand how you were trapped in here even though that Alpha Wolf killed himself."
Allure smiled and said, "He used his dying breath to put up a cursed array in this place. It is called the death cage. I cannot get out of this place unless I destroy my body."
Shi Lang raised his brow, and asked, "You cannot give up the body for freedom, because that would make you lose your strength, and your bloodline. No wonder you are stuck here."
Allure nodded and said, "It took me three centuries to reach the realm of a legendary beast. I had only started to integrate by blood with Dao Laws. Now, I have ninety five percent of my blood refined with Dao Laws. If only I was stronger in that moment."
Shi Lang could sense her irreconciliation. Who would like to spend so much time isolated in this array when you have such a wide world to travel? Allure said, "I have been here for five centuries. Even the memories of the world outside this valley has turned into a blur."
The Terran thought and asked, "Since his soul is holding onto a grudge and is settled here, doesn't that mean he is unable to attain salvation and enter the cycle of life and death?"
Allure was surprised by this. It was true. They were cultivators and just like how they cultivated Dao Laws, they had to be mindful of karma, and if they did end up dying, then it was their karma that would allow them to enter the cycle of life and death.
Allure remarked, "So that means the Alpha is trapped in this realm."
Shi Lang nodded but Allure clicked her tongue and said, "You might not know about this but the thing is that Moon wolves do not give up on their hatred. It is not in their nature."
The Terran thought for a bit and said, "There must be some way to get rid of this hatred."
He sat down and began to think. In all these years, Allure has never given up on the hope of getting out of this prison. Shi Lang did not know her but he knew that if the lady got out and helped him cleaning up the tomb and get that inheritance he will become a lot more stronger. Also, with the favor of a Legendary beast, it would not be hard for him to walk out of the Titan Mountain.
The next day he asked, "Can you conjure a shred of your soul power and place it inside a puppet?"
Allure nodded and said, "I can. I have tried that but the Alpha's remnant can always recognize the puppet not being me."
Shi Lang thought for a bit and asked, "What is your attribute of cultivation?"
Allure replied, "At my level the attribute does not matter. I have the Dao Laws, I can control all of them."
The Terran raised his head to look up at the sky and then asked, "Can you tell me what is special about your body?"
Allure glared at him, and Shi Lang sensed his hair standing up on their ends. He said, "Senior, what I mean to say is that there must be some difference between your real body and the puppet that the remnant soul can recognize."
The lady did not chill out, but after a few moments she said, "It could be the scent from my body."
Shi Lang nodded, and replied, "Plausible. May I ask if you know how to detach your soul completely from your body?"
Allure nodded and raised her brow in askance. The Terran smiled and said, "Oh, I have an idea. I wonder if you would like to try?"
The lady was unsure and said, "Only if you can convince me that this idea will not harm me."
Shi Lang chuckled and scared the lady even more before he said, "You just have to trust me, things will be alright."
