Zhu Wujiang shook his head and said, "You need not belittle yourself. The old Emperor has lived for a millennium, ruling the entire Great Yuan, with resources almost infinite, plus having premeditated strategy. Reaching this step is not easy."
"And to speak the truth, you indeed forced him into a dead end."
"Because that ’Heaven and Earth Cage’ was originally meant for my mother."
Chen Mo frowned and asked, "Your esteemed mother is..."
"You should have guessed by now, right?" Zhu Wujiang toyed with his teacup, speaking casually, "The ’Demon Dragon’ Zhu Jiuyou, defeated by the united power of the Great Power of the Human Race, is my mother."
?!
Chen Mo’s Adam’s apple rolled as he swallowed hard.
He knew Zhu Wujiang was a descendant of Zhu Jiuyou, possessing True Dragon bloodline, but he hadn’t expected the connection to be so close!
After all, Zhu Jiuyou is an ancient existence, while Zhu Wujiang only emerged in recent years as the "Champion of Revival," with no previous news!
"Because I am a human-dragon hybrid, my mother wasn’t very assured of me. So I was born into slumber until she foresaw a forthcoming change and released me from the well." Zhu Wujiang said, "However, due to the uniqueness of my bloodline, even in slumber, my cultivation grew over hundreds of years. By chance, I comprehended the Chaos Law, and emerged as an Ultimate Venerable, saving much effort."
"The well?"
Recalling the unfathomable deep well he had seen in the Dragon Blood memory, and those two fiery sun-like crimson vertical pupils in the darkness, Chen Mo’s heart sank, "Are you saying Zhu Jiuyou is still alive?"
"Yes." Zhu Wujiang looked down at his feet, eyes complex, "And She resides in this Red Blood Peak."
?!
Chen Mo’s scalp instantly exploded, every hair standing on end!
The terrifying existence that had ruled Jiu Zhou for countless years, against whom the entire Human Race fought, was actually hidden here?!
It seems what the Female Demon said was indeed true. Even sacrificing the lives of the Ancient Emperors of the Human Race couldn’t subdue Zhu Jiuyou!
True Dragons are immortal!
"Don’t be nervous. Although She is indeed still alive, She can’t leave the Eternal Prison half a step." Zhu Wujiang paused and added, "At least for now, it’s impossible for Her to get out."
Seeing Chen Mo’s bewildered look, Zhu Wujiang said, "I understand you have many questions. I once said, as long as you come to me, I will answer them all one by one for you."
A halo drifted from her brow, flying towards Chen Mo.
"Open your mind, don’t resist..."
As the light merged into his Spiritual Body, countless fragments of memory rushed in.
In almost an instant, Chen Mo understood the causes and consequences, all his previous puzzles now fully resolved.
Zhu Wujiang said.
Her words sounded reasonable, leaving no room for contradiction.
Chen Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "If you didn’t plan to help, you wouldn’t have talked so much with me. Just be straightforward, what’s the condition?"
"Talking to intelligent people saves effort." Zhu Wujiang spread her palm, and a piece of black leather filled with intricate patterns appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint pressure, giving Chen Mo a familiar feeling.
Then, Zhu Wujiang squeezed a drop of blood from her fingertip, which fell upon the leather and automatically arranged into small lines of words.
"This is the Dragon Clan’s sub-jaw satin, a unique texture connected to the vocal organ."
"Binding with this leather implies that once a word is spoken, it can’t be taken back. The binding power is even stronger than the Creation Gold Contract, which even an Ultimate Venerable can’t renege."
Zhu Wujiang handed the dragon skin to Chen Mo, smiling brightly, "As long as you agree to these terms and sign the contract with me, I will naturally help guide you back to Jiu Zhou Continent."
Chen Mo leaned in, examining it carefully.
The earlier terms were fairly normal, such as: prohibiting Consort Yu from attacking her, promoting peaceful coexistence between Human Demons and Humans... these clauses weren’t excessive, and he could accept them.
But when he saw the last clause, he almost couldn’t hold it together on the spot.
"What does it mean ’shall cooperate with Zhu Wujiang in continuing the lineage, from the date of signing the contract, to share a bed once every seven days, with no time limit each time’?" Chen Mo’s mind was a bit stunned.
