Chapter Summary: Daughter of Destiny Calls for Backup! Surrounding the God King Cemetery!
Key Plot Points and Events
- Qin Luo encounters Lin Mengyao, a beautiful woman and Daughter of Destiny with the Phantom Heart Charm Physique, a powerful ability that creates illusions and ensnares others through charm.
- Lin Mengyao abandons her pursuit of Li Xiao when Qin Luo appears and attempts to escape. She uses her seduction technique on him, trapping him in an illusion based on his buried memories, but Qin Luo quickly recognizes and shatters it.
- Qin Luo pursues Lin Mengyao and summons the Human Emperor Banner, forcibly capturing her inside it.
- Within the banner, Lin Mengyao is surrounded by numerous powerful True God-level soul entities from the Evil Spirit Race. Xi Huang threatens to torment her, though Qin Luo stops her from indulging in cruelty.
- Realizing resistance is futile, Lin Mengyao reveals that she is the personal disciple of a God King Realm expert from the Illusion God Sect and offers to negotiate for her life.
- Qin Luo devises a scheme: he tells Lin Mengyao to allow the people responding to her distress signal to enter, implying that he may spare and reward her if she helps him.
