Chapter 1750: To Force Into Prostitution and To Persuade Reformation

“You want to destroy this place?” Xie Tianxun gaped at Lu Yun.

“I already have the world of sequence, so what reason is there for this place to exist?” the young man responded indifferently.

“That’s true… the Land of Reincarnation will collapse if a second world of sequence germinates.” Xie Tianxun easily saw through the heart of things. “But why should I help you?”

“Because I don’t keep around worthless layabouts.” Lu Yun raked him with an assessing glance. “I’ll kill you if you don’t help me. Everyone who knows you thinks you’re dead, so no one will know if you really die now. Worst comes to worst, I’ll use my own methods to destroy the tomb and give up on this Abyssal Hell.”

Xie Tianxun nearly choked on his own spit when he heard Lu Yun’s words. He was hailed the foremost genius of the worlds in the outside realm, heads and shoulders above Ao Qin, Jiang Kui, and the Moran genius. But he was an insignificant shrimp in this land; no one would even know that he’d died!

Extreme self-consciousness grew in his heart.

“See how proud Chu Xingran is now.” Lu Yun walked up to Xie Tianxun and patted his shoulder. “He killed Jiang Kui’s zombie king replica in two moves. Can you do that?”

“Jiang Kui’s zombie king replica?” Xie Tianxun stiltedly raised his head. “I can kill one in ten moves, but two…? I can’t.”

Jian Bu’er shuddered. He and the Demonic Vine combined had been a toy to the zombie king replica. If it hadn’t been for Chu Xingran on the scene, the horde of zombies would’ve eaten the vine and he would become a chip for Jiang Kui to threaten Lu Yun with.

“I feel like we’re completely useless to him in here,” the Demonic Vine sprawled on Jian Bu’er’s shoulder and murmured into his ear.

He glared hotly at her, still recalling how lovestruck she’d been in front of Chu Xingran. Lu Yun also glanced at the vine—she was far from useless. Once she grew into her strength, she would be the most terrifying demonic entity in the land of darkness.

“Needing only ten moves to destroy a zombie king isn’t bad at all,” Lu Yun nodded. “Chu Xingran was only known for his looks before, now he’ll also be renowned for battle strength. How about it? Your strength will grow explosively if you submit to me. It’s a much safer choice than throwing your lot in with that Nebula Supreme.”

“Why does Lu Yun’s choice of words sound like he’s forcing Xie Tianxun into prostitution?” the Demonic Vine mumbled.

Everyone rolled their eyes and ignored her.

“Following you around is the most dangerous choice,” Chu Xingran preened at Lu Yun’s compliments. “I’m now endowed with both beauty and talent.”

“Let him have his way with you, you’ve already done so twice. There’s no point resisting at this stage of the game,” Moran Dongning called out from the Disordered Hell—the doors were still open. She nodded at Chu Xingran, who didn’t ignore her this time around. He raised cupped fists in response.

“You’re forcing a decent person into prostitution alright!” the vine declared with relish.

Jian Bu’er took a firm pinch of her cheek. “What kind of language is this?! Where did you learn all of these nonsensical sayings??”

“I visited the ancestral planet, it’s such an interesting place. People like to force decent folk into various kinds of prostitution and then persuade others in the trade to reform themselves. They have so much fun and never get bored of it!”

Jian Bu’er clapped his hand over his eyes and refused to dignify the reply with a response. There was nothing for Xie Tianxun to do but nod with a rueful smile, “Alright then, I’ll help you. But I don’t want to do the deed myself, so I’ll tell you inside.”

He glared at the Demonic Vine and took another look at Chu Xingran before darting back into the Disordered Hell. Plainly, he didn’t care for the talk of prostitution and reformation.

“Alrighty, you guys wait here for me.” Lu Yun entered the Disordered Hell as well and closed the doors.

“Hihi cutie~” The Demonic Vine approached Chu Xingran. Jian Bu’er yanked her back.

“He’s not a cutie, he’s the Curse King!” He glared so hard that his eyeballs threatened to pop out of their sockets.

“Nuh uh, the cutie is our savior!”

Jian Bu’er wanted to hack Chu Xingran into two.

The subject of their contention stroked his long hair with satisfaction. “You are not my match in either charisma or beauty. You’re just disgustingly dirty.”

Jian Bu’er nearly self-combusted with rage. He’d done whatever he wanted before when faced with the taunts and jeers from the Curse King, but when the Curse King turned into Chu Xingran, their roles somehow swapped.

He subconsciously summoned a large basin of water and began washing the filth off himself.

……

“So how can I destroy this tomb?” Lu Yun asked.

“Build another tomb that rivals it in every possible way,” Xie Tianxun assumed a serious attitude. “Set another one up using the Abyssal Hell’s earthen veins. Once it’s formed, the two tombs will clash with each other and both will disintegrate without harming the hell.

“But you must remember to set up a resurrection layout in the second one so that it resonates with the one in the original tomb.”

There was a resurrection layout inside the Abyssal Tomb so it could nurture the world of sequence. While the layout had ultimately become part of the world, its setup still remained.

Enlightenment dawned on Lu Yun when he heard Xie Tianxun’s words.

He’d been attacking the problem from the angle of how to destroy the tomb’s layout. He’d never thought of setting up another tomb and having their innate natures do the work for him. Granted, Lu Yun might’ve eventually thought of this way, but Xie Tianxun had come up with it after a single glance. This was an area in which Lu Yun was less than the other.

Some excitement danced in Xie Tianxun’s eyes—he was no meek character either. Something as monumental as destroying a tomb of hell would shake heaven and earth. He wanted to witness the event take place even if he couldn’t be directly involved!

“The tomb must be big, one made from at least a layout of heaven and earth! We can also use it to bury your master’s fake body and destroy the demon of malice!” Xie Tianxun’s smile turned cruel. “And if my guess is right, we haven’t seen the last of that brat Jiang Kui. He’ll be back. When he comes back, we’ll destroy him and the Corpse Refiners at the same time!”

He rubbed his hands together and paced with anticipation.

“He bears a grudge against the Corpse Refiners,” Moran Dongning explained. “He was willing to ally with the Nebula Supreme and come here mostly because of them.”

That explained some things.

“A layout of heaven and earth? Easy!” Lu Yun put Xie Tianxun aside and began his calculations. He could set up such a layout by himself with his current level of strength. In Azure Province, he’d jointly set up an interment of heaven and earth with Wayfarer to craft a bronze palace. It’d been a burial layout to seal the crack in the world of immortals and a grand influence over the world.

He no longer needed Wayfarer’s help, and he would set up the same layout today.
