    Chapter 83

    Inside this chamber lay numerous enchantments and restrictions, requiring a specific chant, known only to Li Su, to unlock the entrance. Uttering the incantation, Li Su accessed the chamber.

    As he stepped inside, he found himself in a vast hall often used by the sect leader for practice when she wasn’t in seclusion. To his surprise, she was not present. More than ten days had passed. Was she still interrogating the Silent Moon Saintess? Li Su wasn’t overly concerned, knowing the sect leader’s strength and intelligence. The array of restrictions on the Saintess made any attempt at trouble futile.

    Proceeding to the room where the Saintess was held, he discovered the sect leader and her inside.

    “Do you truly wish to share the secrets of my techniques?” The Saintess of the Silent Moon’s voice reached Li Su’s ears as he entered.

    She finally spoke! This surprised Li Su, and the sect leader seemed equally shocked. He noticed the Saintess still bound, her expression devoid of emotion.

    “My disciple, Li Su, she has spoken for the first time,” the sect leader transmitted to him.

    “The first time she’s spoken!”Folll0w current novE?ls on n/o/v/3l/b((in).(co/m)

    “Indeed,” the sect leader acknowledged, addressing the Saintess. “My disciple, Li Su, will come, and you can share your knowledge with him.”

    Li Su didn’t react with joy but with suspicion. This cooperation seemed like a trick. An exchanged glance between him and the sect leader confirmed their mutual suspicion.

    In her captive state, the Saintess must be aware that Li Su wouldn’t release her. Her sudden cooperation was indeed suspicious.

    “My Nascent Soul is wounded, burdened with dozens of restrictions, and my soul is tormented. Are you both so afraid? One at the Nascent Soul stage, the other at the eighth layer of the Golden Core stage?” The Saintess spoke again, her tone calm but provoking.

    His words caused the Silent Moon Saintess to falter in controlling her expression. “Give birth to eight or ten children!”

    Li Su’s scrutinizing gaze made her uncomfortable. She intended to teach Li Su her secret technique, but not the complete technique—only a portion of it. She planned to demonstrate its power to secure her release from Li Su and the sect leader.

    Teaching the technique to Li Su rather than the sect leader was strategic. She had a hidden move in her arsenal that would work effectively only on someone at Li Su’s cultivation level, not the sect leader in the Nascent Soul stage.

    The Silent Moon Saintess had risen quickly to the Nascent Soul stage, showcasing her formidable strength and potent secret techniques. She had a promising future and wasn’t foolish. Realizing Li Su and the sect leader’s interest in her secret technique, she devised this plan.

    However, she knew that voluntarily offering to teach the technique would raise suspicions of ulterior motives. Indeed, she had ulterior motives, but she genuinely intended to teach the technique, albeit only half of it. Moreover, Li Su had fed her a poisonous pill, complicating the situation further.

    They aimed to take her back and compel her to bear eight or ten children. Judging by Li Su’s demeanor, he might even resort to extreme measures. The Saintess of the Silent Moon’s heart began to race. She wasn’t afraid of death, but the prospect of being seized by Li Su and coerced into motherhood terrified her.

    “If you do that, you’ll never extract my hidden technique,” she stated coldly.

    “Is that so? But I’m not presently interested in your secret technique. It appears that having children might be a better choice. Master, do you have any objections?” Li Su turned to the sect leader.

    The sect leader was momentarily at a loss for words. She didn’t know if Li Su was bluffing the Saintess of the Silent Moon or if he genuinely intended to capture her and force her to bear eight or ten children. After all, Li Su’s desire for parenthood had become no secret over the years.

    “Li Su, dark practitioners are cunning. You must be cautious,” she finally warned.

    “My confidential technique, when mastered to its highest level, can significantly enhance your combat abilities...” The Saintess of the Silent Moon tried to tempt them with her skill.

    At this point, the Saintess of the Silent Moon once again sounded anxious. Li Su’s mention of having her bear eight or ten children had startled her. With her current strength suppressed, if Li Su were to take her back and force her to have so many children, she would have no means to resist.

    However, just as she was about to continue speaking, the Saintess of the Silent Moon suddenly fell silent. Li Su had muted her voice.
