Chapter 627: Are You Deceiving Me?
For whatever reason, the temporary leader of the Winged Clan was currently following Du Jing's orders. Su Chen had instructed her to issue a command to keep all Winged Clan members inside and not allow them to leave.
Subsequently, he brought the Eastern Emperor's wife to the Red Alert Base's temporary camp, where the Eastern Emperor was waiting for her.
At this moment, the Eastern Emperor had no energy within him, sitting on a chair like an ordinary person.
With all his power unleashed, the Eastern Emperor had become completely ordinary, making it nearly impossible for him to become Transcendent again, effectively rendering him powerless.
"Why are you so foolish?" Du Jing couldn't help but cry when she saw the Eastern Emperor in this state.
The Eastern Emperor, who had always had a serious expression, smiled rarely, "You are my wife, and I cannot let you go."
The conversation between Du Jing and the Eastern Emperor that followed was unknown to anyone, and by the time Su Chen and the others approached, their expressions had already calmed down.
"I have issued a statement, shifting all blame for this incident onto the Winged Clan. You were merely being controlled to do these things, so you don't need to worry," Su Chen said to Du Jing.
After all, it had taken nearly a month for Red Alert Base to find Du Jing initially. Everyone knew that the Eastern Emperor's wife had done these outrageously appalling things, and if Emperor Su Chen didn't proactively make this statement, her reputation would be tarnished.
"Thank you, Your Majesty.""And as for the Eastern Emperor, I will allow Yun Ru to study your condition to see if there is any way to restore you to your original state."
The Eastern Emperor was one of the Human Emperors who had led humanity to break through the Dark Era. If his condition were to become known, it would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion.
Su Chen decided not to reveal the Eastern Emperor's condition for the time being and to secretly research a solution, just like with Zhu Hui's situation in the past.
"Your Majesty, my strength is of no importance. As long as she is okay," the Eastern Emperor unexpectedly sprinkled some affection in front of Su Chen.
Su Chen's eye twitched. If he weren't already in a relationship, he would definitely have kicked the Eastern Emperor out with one foot.
"Eastern Emperor's wife, we will need your assistance regarding the Heart Demon Clan matter," Su Chen continued.
In terms of understanding the Heart Demon Clan, all of them combined might not know as much as the Eastern Emperor's wife did, and she was well aware of this fact, so she didn't refuse.
"Now that they are all fine, I will go back and take care of some things. Old Li has been urging me several times," Zhu Hui said and left the scene.
As Empire Emperors, they had too many matters to handle, and that's just how it was when Su Chen became a hands-off Emperor who didn't deal with anything.
The Eastern Emperor and his wife left with Yun Ru shortly after that. Not long after, Yuri and Libra arrived at the Command Room with the Heart Demon Clan imprisoned in a Psychic cage.
"Do you have any results?" Su Chen asked directly.
"Commander, after our interrogation, this Heart Demon Clan hasn't revealed anything. It acts like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water," Libra said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Isn't it afraid of Psychic powers? Why can't we control it with Psychic abilities?" Su Chen found it strange.
"Indeed, it fears Psychic powers and can't resist them, but Psychic control simply doesn't work on it. It refuses to communicate with us," Yuri explained.
Both of them were masters of controlling Psychic powers, so there was no doubt about it.
Su Chen looked curiously at the Heart Demon Clan before him. From the outside, it appeared to be a mass of Black Mist, enclosed within a semi-transparent cage.
This tiny entity not only controlled Du Jing but also transformed her into a member of the Winged Clan. How had it achieved that?
Yun Ru had mentioned that even with modern genetic technology, it would be impossible to transform a human being from the perspective of their life essence into a Winged Clan member. It was simply inconceivable.
The most crucial point was that even Du Jing herself didn't know how the Heart Demon Clan had altered her body; she had no sensation of it whatsoever.
"Can it speak?" Su Chen called out.
The Heart Demon Clan remained completely silent, just as Yuri and Libra had described, showing no response at all.
"So, it turns out you're a mute race. Surprising for the renowned Heart Demon Clan to be unable to speak. No wonder they can't compare to the Dream Shadow Clan."
Su Chen intentionally mentioned the Dream Shadow Clan, knowing that sometimes you had to use the right bait to catch a fish.
Sure enough, the Heart Demon Clan took the bait this time.
"Dream Shadow Clan? You actually know about the Dream Shadow Clan?" a voice from the Heart Demon Clan spoke up, sounding somewhat like Du Jing.
Yuri and Libra exchanged a glance. It was true; they had tried everything to get the Heart Demon Clan to speak, but Commander had succeeded.
"I just recently killed a Dream Shadow Clan member, and it didn't seem like a big deal," Su Chen said, his hands crossed in front of him, his eyes tinged with a hint of disdain.
The body of the Heart Demon Clan shook violently, and laughter erupted, "Hahaha! Do you know what the Dream Shadow Clan represents? They are beings of eternal life, no life can kill them, never!"
Indeed, without the System's existence, Su Chen wouldn't have been able to completely kill a Dream Shadow Clan. This race was truly peculiar.
"System, is there a way to prove that I killed a Dream Shadow Clan?"
He had no evidence himself, but he believed that the System must have a way.
Sure enough, the System didn't disappoint him. It transmitted a scene directly to Su Chen, showing the Dream Shadow Clan that had once possessed the body of the Mutant Emperor without an Emperor, howling in agony before dying, as if he were there witnessing it.
Su Chen immediately transmitted this scene to the Heart Demon Clan, and the laughter from the Heart Demon Clan abruptly stopped.
"No, it's impossible! The Dream Shadow Clan is our lifelong pursuit, how could they die?" The voice of the Heart Demon Clan trembled with panic.
It knew that when a host possessed by a Dream Shadow Clan died, they wouldn't emit such a desperate scream. This was a scream of despair that only came from a life moments before death.
"You're deceiving me, you must be deceiving me!"
The Heart Demon Clan still couldn't believe this, after all, if it did believe it, the blow to the entire Heart Demon Clan would be too significant.
Most importantly, the innate ability possessed by the Heart Demon Clan allowed them to share the knowledge and memories of any individual within the clan. The moment it saw this scene, it was instantly shared with countless other Heart Demon Clan members, shattering the dreams of countless Heart Demon Clan members.
If even the so-called immortal Dream Shadow Clan could die, what were they, the Heart Demon Clan?
"The truth is right in front of you; it's just that you don't want to believe it. But if you're willing to make a deal with me, surpassing the Dream Shadow Clan is not an issue."
"Surpass the Dream Shadow Clan? Are you joking? Do you know what kind of beings they are?" The Heart Demon Clan began to boast about the strength of the Dream Shadow Clan but suddenly realized it was talking to a formidable individual who had indeed killed a Dream Shadow Clan member.
"Is what you said... true?" The Heart Demon Clan asked cautiously. (To be continued...)
