Chapter 391 - 389: Daddy Says, Use Your Brain When Youâre Out
"I donât know."
The two Blood Robed Men were quite defiant, their heads twisted to the side as they spoke in a cold tone.
"Donât know?"
Chu Chenâs round eyes widened as he grabbed one of their feet and dragged them away to a distance, leaving the purple-haired Battle Body behind to interrogate the other Blood Robed Man.
"Only one of you can live, whoever speaks first can leave alive, otherwise, you die."
Chu Chen looked at the Blood Robed Man and said in a milky voice.
The pupil of the Blood Robed Man constricted involuntarily, and he couldnât help but turn his head to look at the other Blood Robed Man, saying coldly, "Donât even dream about it. We would never betray the Blood Demon Hall."
Chu Chen recalled the interrogation routine that Chu Xin used in the past. After clearing his throat twice, he said, "You might not, but who knows about your companion. Daddy once said, âEvery man for himself, or face heavenly punishment and earth destruction,â right? To save oneâs life, one can do anything."
The Blood Robed Manâs lips quivered, wanting to retort, but he didnât know what to say.
Seeing this, Chu Chen spoke again, "Daddy also said, âDead friends over a dead penniless man.â If you want to live, you must speak before he does, and you must be correct. Otherwise, Iâll carve out your heart."
He bared his teeth and made fierce faces, putting on a threatening tone and gaze.
Dead friends over a dead penniless man?
What a bunch of nonsense.
The Blood Robed Man was somewhat speechless inside. This bear child couldnât even speak properly, yet he was trying to intimidate him.
But this bear child was too terrifying. Still so young, he acted on whims, and he might indeed kill him.
Although he thought his companion probably wouldnât speak, he didnât dare to bet on it.
If he stayed silent and his companion spoke first, then he would be the one to die.
Seeing that the Blood Robed Man was still spacing out, Chu Chen frowned slightly, then took out a Talisman from the Sumeru Ring and threatened, "Actually, even if you donât speak, I have ways to make you talk. See this? Holy Level Truth Talisman, makes even Martial Saints speak the truth obediently. You havenât reached the Martial Saint level, have you? Do you think you can resist the Truth Talisman? But this Holy Level Truth Talisman is too precious, Iâm reluctant to use it. So, itâs better for you to speak willingly before your companion does, then you can still save your life. If you make me waste a Truth Talisman, even if I get the answer I want, Iâll still kill you."
Holy Level Truth Talisman?
The Blood Robed Man glanced at the Talisman and swallowed.
This bear child actually had such a treasure. If that Talisman really was a Holy Level Truth Talisman, then his stubborn silence would be meaningless. But he was worried, was this bear child using a fake, worthless Talisman to deceive him?
Should he speak or not? He was lost in thought.
"Sigh! Forget it, it seems that today Iâll have to waste a Holy Level Truth Talisman after all."
Seeing this, Chu Chen sighed shaking his head, then raised the Talisman and slowly began to press it towards the Blood Robed Man.
His motion was slow, his round eyes occasionally glancing at the Blood Robed Manâs reaction.
The Blood Robed Man stayed still, but just when the Talisman was about to touch him, he suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute, Iâll talk."
"Eh, thatâs more like it."
Chu Chenâs round eyes immediately showed a hint of a smile as he put the Talisman back into the Sumeru Ring, grabbed the collar of the Blood Robed Man, and dragged him back to the center, pointing at the projection of the Divine Coffin. He said with a grin, "Speak, then. How does one exit this place?"
The Blood Robed Man looked at the projection of the Divine Coffin, and everything around it became clearly visible to his eyes, filling him with shock.
What kind of Divine Artifact was this coffin, to have such a powerful function?
"Go this way."
After looking for a while, the Blood Robed Man pointed in a direction.
Chu Xin heard this, immediately manipulated the hand seal and let the Divine Coffin change direction, swiftly breaking through the air in the direction pointed out by the Blood Robed Man.
"Wang Laowu, you traitor!"
His companion heard this and immediately cursed.
The purple-haired bear child threatened him with death, yet he did not yield. He never expected his own companion to give in, this life-fearing animal.
The Blood Robed Manâs body quivered slightly, but he didnât turn back to respond. Having already betrayed, he decided to be thoroughly treacherous. He pointed in a direction and said, "This way."
Following the guidance of the Blood Robed Man, Chu Xin wound her way through a labyrinthine path for a good while until they arrived in a narrow Blood Cave.
"This is the place."
The Blood Robed Man spoke.
Chu Xin stopped the Divine Coffin in its tracks and peered around at the scene projected within it, asking doubtfully, "I donât see any exit, though. Youâre not deceiving me, are you?"
She turned to look at the Blood Robed Man, her round, wide eyes narrowing, a hint of anger appearing.
"No, no, no, the exit can only be opened with a special secret technique,"
the Blood Robed Man hastily said.
"Is that so? Then open it."
Chu Xinâs brows furrowed, urging him on.
"Thisâ"
The Blood Robed Man hesitated once more when it came down to the wire. Leading these two brats here and opening the exit for them bore completely different implications.
As long as he hadnât opened the exit, he had a hundred excuses to muddle through.
But once he opened it, his betrayal of the Blood Demon Hall would be unquestionably confirmed, and if discovered by Lord Envoy, death would be certain.
Seeing the situation, Chu Chen spoke again, "Iâll give you the time of one breath to consider. If you donât open it, Iâll make your companion do it. Then, your companion can leave alive, and youâll have to stay here forever. This is because you led us here, so Iâm giving you the opportunity to choose first. Do you choose your friendâs death, or your death?"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Robed Manâs body shook slightly, and he turned to look at his furious companion, took a deep breath, and said, "Fine, Iâll open the exit for you."
"There you go."
Chu Chen chuckled, motioning for the Purple-haired Battle Body to take the Blood Robed Man away from the Divine Coffin.
The Blood Robed Man took a deep breath, his hands forming seals as power surged within him, the force of the Blood Demon Power coalescing in the air.
Hum!
Suddenly, a passage just wide enough for one person appeared.
"Itâs ready."
The Blood Robed Manâs body was somewhat feeble, his voice becoming hoarse.

Whoosh!
Chu Xin stepped out from the Divine Coffin, instructing, "Take him into the Divine Coffin first. Once Iâm out, then you can release him."
"Alright, sister."
The Purple-haired Battle Body nodded and led the Blood Robed Man back inside the Divine Coffin.
Chu Xin waved her hand to put away the Divine Coffin and then slipped into the passage.
Hum!
The view before her suddenly brightened, and a blast of scorching air hit her face.
Chu Xin looked around and found herself not at the bottom of the State Sea, but inside a sweltering Volcano. She looked up at the opening of the volcano, leaped up with her small body, and flew out of it.
"The air outside is so much better."
She tipped her little head back and took deep breaths of fresh air, her face showing pure enjoyment.
In the underground Blood Cave of the Blood Demon Hall, everywhere was filled with that malevolent, chilly air, which made her terribly uncomfortable.
Now that she was finally out, the fresh air filling her nostrils lifted her spirits tremendously.
