"If we destroy all the purple crystal pillars, then he won't be able to descend here, right?"

"Theoretically, yes. But there are still many purple crystal pillars in our homeland. As long as the Abyss Lord wishes, he can send more purple crystal pillars to the Immortal and Demon Worlds."

Lord Charm Erosion's words made Lin Chen's heart sink.

"Where is your homeland?"

Lord Charm Erosion answered, "We call it the Abyss. But if you want me to specify the exact location, I don't know, because each time we target and devour, we arrive through teleportation. Once we destroy and devour everything, we teleport back to the Abyss."

"The teleportation is controlled by the Abyss Lord. We are his created minions. I even think that at certain times, we might be killed and devoured by the Abyss Lord to strengthen himself."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "If I let you return to the demon ranks, can you go back to the Abyss?"

Fear flashed in Lord Charm Erosion's eyes, "The brand in my star core has vanished. To his perception, I should be among the dead. But if I return and he finds out, he will kill me instantly, without any hesitation."

Lin Chen nodded, dismissing some of his thoughts.

He lifted his chin and pointed to the sky, "What's with the barrier?"

Lord Charm Erosion floated a piece of purple crystal which landed in Lin Chen's hands.

"This is a control crystal. As long as you inject spiritual power to activate it, it forms a barrier. The size of the barrier can be adjusted at will. Once the barrier is set, all space supernatural powers will be neutralized. What happens inside the barrier won't be detected by the outside world. Even if the sky collapses within the barrier, there will be no response from outside, as long as the barrier holds."

Lin Chen pursued, "Can it block perception?"

"It can."

Lord Charm Erosion replied, "Even if the opponent is a Saint, they can't perceive anything inside the barrier."

Great stuff!

This is quite similar in function to Linglong Tower, but Linglong Tower can only isolate things inside, not outside. This thing, however, can create an area outside where no one can sense or investigate.

Yes, very suitable for conducting nefarious deeds, just like Lord Charm Erosion used it today to ambush me.

Lin Chen infused his spiritual power into the purple crystal. Lord Charm Erosion straightforwardly explained the control technique, and with a little exploration, Lin Chen soon mastered it.

He summoned the Linglong Tower and said in a low voice, "Though you have handed over your life control to me, I still feel uneasy. So, it's better that we avoid meeting face-to-face in the future."

"This tower is a world unto itself. You will stay in this world temporarily and wait for my command. If you have any rebellious thoughts, it's best you succeed at once. Otherwise, if I don't die, you will be definitely dead."

Lord Charm Erosion chuckled, "As long as you don't make me fight those Saints with kryptonite, everything else doesn't matter. Now that I'm free from the Abyss Lord's control and in your hands, I'm quite delighted."

Lin Chen snorted coldly. The Linglong Tower emitted golden light and absorbed Lord Charm Erosion into the tower.

Watching Lord Charm Erosion's figure vanish, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So close!

I almost died today!

Who would have thought that Lord Charm Erosion had infiltrated the quasi-saint camp and got close to me. If I hadn't had several tricks up my sleeve and hidden kryptonite, I would have been dead today.

Although the battle was extremely perilous, and I used up two of the methods given by a Saint and one of the three mighty spiritual powers from the Immortal Emperor Order, capturing Lord Charm Erosion in the end was a great profit.

That's a living Lord-level demon, comparable to a Saint, an incredibly powerful being!

With Lord Charm Erosion, Lin Chen's courage soared, and plans for the future started forming in his mind.

Qingluan Immortal Monarch?

Perhaps it's time to deal with him.

With Lord Charm Erosion making a move, I can cleanly push all the responsibility away. Who would suspect me?

Who would believe that Lord Charm Erosion obeys a Human Clan quasi-saint?

No one would even think in that direction!

To deal with Qingluan Immortal Monarch, Lin Chen had no psychological burden. Regardless of whether he was behind the plot against Gu Yue, for attacking him alone, Qingluan Immortal Monarch had signed his death warrant.

Though Lin Chen was confident in controlling Lord Charm Erosion's life, he remained cautious, ensuring they didn't share the same space, giving her no chance to turn the tables.

Who knows if she might suddenly go mad?

She's a Lord-level demon, with the power to kill him instantly.

When Lin Chen returned to his residence, Gu Yuexi asked curiously, "Where's the person who was looking for you? Gone?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "She came to kill me; I almost died."

The three women were all shocked.

"What happened? Why did she want to kill you?"

"We had no grudge against her, right? Was she under someone's orders?"

"Are you okay?"

Lin Chen explained with a smile, "Luckily, I used two semi-Saint magical treasures and the kryptonite I hid to turn the tide and captured her."

"Kryptonite?"

The three women looked puzzled. Wasn't kryptonite used to counter Abyss demons? Could it work against a quasi-saint?

Lin Chen revealed the truth, "That woman was actually Lord Charm Erosion!"

"Lord Charm Erosion!"

The three women widened their eyes in shock.

"Lord Charm Erosion came here specifically to kill you?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "She wanted to learn about kryptonite from me and take revenge. After all, I saved the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and led the Saints, causing her to be punished by the Abyss Lord. Naturally, she held a grudge against me."

Gu Yuexi asked anxiously, "Where is she now? Ran away?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "She's in the Linglong Tower. I could have killed her, but she submitted to me to stay alive. I now control her life."

The three women were in shock, unable to believe it.

Lord Charm Erosion submitted to Lin Chen?

Oh my god!

Gu Yuexi's eyes lit up, "Does that mean we now have a Saint-level enforcer?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, but this must be kept secret, or it will bring trouble."

Shang Wenyao excitedly said, "With Lord Charm Erosion, we don't need to fear Qingluan Immortal Monarch anymore!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Indeed, and we can even go on the offensive!"

Yao Xuanji smiled, "Have her deal with Qingluan Immortal Monarch and push all the blame on the Abyss demons. Flawless!"

Lin Chen laughed wickedly, "Exactly, that's what I was thinking..."
