125: Chapter 125 Purple Robe Reappears, Revealing Her True Form

Among the members of the Ming Cult, all of the high-ranking members recognized Dai Qisi. They began to clamor; they hadn't expected the Cult Leader to show no mercy, exposing the disguised Dai Qisi right from the start.

Back then, aside from Yang Dingtian and Xie Xun, everyone in the Ming Cult held a grudge against Dai Qisi, even suspecting that Yang Dingtian's disappearance was related to her and Han Qianye.

Now that the mystery of Cult Leader Yang's disappearance had been solved, this past grievance could be considered settled.

As for her marrying Han Qianye, that was a case of the Golden Flower's intent and the Silver Leaf's devotion—a helpless situation.

However, some still spoke with sarcasm.

Wei Yixiao grinned broadly, revealing a mouthful of forest-white teeth, and said in a weird, mocking tone: "Isn't this our Purple-Clad Dragon King? Why, instead of guarding Mr. Silver Leaf on Spirit Snake Island, have you come to our remote Bright Peak?"

These words were clearly barbed.

Hearing this, Dai Qisi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She swept a cold glance at Wei Yixiao and said calmly: "Wei Yixiao, after all these years, your mouth is still just as foul."

"Brothers, do not be noisy. Dai Qisi, it really is you!" Lu Chen looked displeased, but inwardly he was feeling quite smug.

As if he had seen through everything long ago: "Dai Qisi, I am crystal clear about the Ming Cult's past!"

He shifted the topic, his gaze like a torch, piercing straight at Dai Qisi: "Back then, you were at odds with the brothers in the cult and broke away from it."

"Today is Cult Leader Yang's Incineration Ceremony. Since you've come, why have you delayed showing yourself?"

"Could it be that you no longer even recognize Cult Leader Yang as your foster father?"

Lu Chen's voice suddenly rose a few notches: "Do you know the rules of the Ming Cult?"

Dai Qisi's body shook, and a complex look flashed through her jade-green eyes.

She snorted coldly and retorted: "When Dai Qisi broke away from the cult back then, Yang Xiao and Fan Yao made things very difficult for me. It's better not to see them."

"Furthermore, on that day, Cult Leader Yang agreed to let me leave the cult. Naturally, I am no longer a member of the Ming Cult, so why should I follow its rules?"

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth curled up, revealing a mocking smile: "Oh? So, you're saying you don't recognize yourself as a member of our Central Plains Ming Cult? I wonder if the Persian Manichaeism side will let you off?"

Hearing this, Dai Qisi was deeply shocked: "What does the gender own have to do with me?"

"Then why have you come to this Bright Peak? And why are you hiding your identity? Could it be... you have other motives?" Lu Chen's voice carried a hint of playfulness.

Dai Qisi did not back down, responding sharply: "I came naturally to pay respects to my foster father, Cult Leader Yang! Does Cult Leader Lu think that is also wrong?"

Lu Chen laughed loudly, his laughter filled with mockery: "Do you think I'll believe that?"

His eyes were sharp as knives, staring intently at Dai Qisi: "Cult Leader Yang's remains were only found yesterday. You were on Spirit Snake Island, tens of thousands of miles away, yet your information is quite timely? Could it be that you actually possess foresight?"

"In my view, if you aren't here for the dragon slaying saber, then... you're here for this!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen flipped his wrist, and a Parchment Roll suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was exactly the Parchment Roll recording the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Heart Method!

Lu Chen held the Parchment Roll, lightly weighing it in his hand as if he were weighing Dai Qisi's thoughts.

"When Cult Leader Yang was alive, he knew that the gender own was obsessed with this Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Heart Method." Lu Chen's voice held a hint of enticement. "Dai Qisi, am I wrong?"

Dai Qisi was profoundly shaken, as if struck by lightning, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Every word Lu Chen said hit her right where it hurt, leaving her unable to argue.

She never expected that Lu Chen would have such a thorough grasp of her thoughts!

Seeing Dai Qisi's dazed expression, Lu Chen intensified his offensive: "Purple, White, Gold, Green—the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult. If the Purple one is missing, it would be a regret. Today, this Cult Leader will give you a chance."

Dai Qisi was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Chen to suddenly say such a thing.

She had originally thought Lu Chen would directly expose her true identity.

But now it seemed things weren't that simple.

"What do you mean?" Dai Qisi's tone was icy, trying to hide her internal shock.

An enigmatic smile played on Lu Chen's lips: "Even if you don't think of yourself, you should think of the child in your womb. Am I right, Madam Han?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Dai Qisi's face instantly turned pale.

She never dreamed that the fact she was pregnant would be known by Lu Chen!

Lu Chen had used the Technique of Controlling Objects with Qi to investigate Dai Qisi and was surprised to find that she was already pregnant.

So Xiao Zhao was still in her womb.

Although this Dai Qisi wasn't anything good, he liked Xiao Zhao very much, so it wouldn't be right to make things too difficult for her.

Dai Qisi showed terror upon hearing this: "You... how did you know I was pregnant?"

Lu Chen smiled with feigned profundity: "This seat is skilled in the Qi-Observation Technique. Seeing that your complexion was unusual, I knew you were expecting. This matter may be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from me."

"Qi-Observation Technique?" A hint of doubt flashed in Dai Qisi's eyes. She had never heard of such a mysterious martial art.

"So what if you do?" Dai Qisi suppressed the panic in her heart and asked coldly.

Lu Chen slowly shook his head and sighed: "I can only say that in this vast world, besides my Central Plains Ming Cult being able to protect you, there is likely no other place for you to stay. The Persian Manichaeism is searching for your whereabouts every single day."

"Stop trying to scare me with words!" Dai Qisi said, her voice bluffing despite her internal fear.

"Is that so?" Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone playful. "Then why do you hide your face, fearing to be recognized? Do you really not fear the Persian Manichaeism coming to your door?"

Dai Qisi was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to refute him.

The reason she was so cautious was precisely because she was afraid of being discovered by the people from Persian Manichaeism.

Once captured by them, what awaited her would be torture worse than death.

Lu Chen continued: "This Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Heart Method is the only copy in the world; what remains in the gender own is not even one-tenth."

"Originally, this was the divine guardian technique of Persian Manichaeism. If the gender own were honorable, it wouldn't be impossible for us to give them a copy."

"Unfortunately, the gender own follows the orders of the Yuan Court and has become estranged from our Central Plains Ming Cult."

"These matters no longer have anything to do with me," Dai Qisi said coldly. She tried to distance herself from Persian Manichaeism, but her tone sounded somewhat weak and powerless.

Lu Chen shook his head and sighed: "Is that so? Even if you don't want to admit it, the Pasha Main Headquarters will not let you go."

Lu Chen paused, then suddenly changed the subject: "This Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, I have already practiced it to the seventh level."

Hearing this, Dai Qisi was even more shocked beyond words.

Lu Chen seemed very satisfied with Dai Qisi's reaction. He smiled slightly and continued: "Although the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth Heart Method came from Persia, in my view, this Heart Method must have been created by the Fusion of the Murong Clan's Shifting Stars ultimate technique."

"What does any of this prove?" Dai Qisi forced herself to stay calm and asked coldly.

"It proves that I have the absolute strength to deter Persian Manichaeism and make them completely give up their obsession with the Central Plains Ming Cult."

"I even plan to attack Persia and completely wipe out those Persians who work for the Yuan Court!" Lu Chen's cold words seemed to carry the scent of a sea of blood and mountains of corpses.

Below, the people of the Ming Cult shouted upon hearing this: "Attack Persia! Attack Persia! Wipe out the bandits! Wipe out the bandits!"

Dai Qisi's face turned even paler at the words. She wanted to say something, but seemed at a loss for words.

Lu Chen said slowly: "Persian Manichaeism will find you sooner or later. The child in your womb must be a girl. Do you want her to be taken back to the gender own to become a Puppet, spending her life alone and helpless?"

Hearing this, Dai Qisi's delicate body jerked violently, and her face became deathly pale.

She had always been unwilling to face this problem, but Lu Chen had mercilessly laid it out before her.

Yes, if found by Persian Manichaeism, the child would be destined to return there, to take on that titular but necessarily virginal position of Cult Leader, becoming a Puppet.

But what kind of place was Persian Manichaeism?

It was filled with conspiracies, calculations, and endless conflict.

"Puppet"—these two words hit Dai Qisi completely.
