CHAPTER 1437  WHY DON’T YOU START THEN, MY DEAR MASTER?

"Well, this wasn't what I was expecting…" Nux, who woke up after being knocked out by Aeliana, commented as he noticed the situation he was in. His body seemed powerless, he couldn't move, an unfathomable Aura restricted his body, an Aura so strong that even if he had his original strength, his state would have been the same. Nux, however, didn't seem scared, just the fact that the illusion was still going on was enough to tell him that what he feared hadn't happened… yet. Nux glanced at the beautiful woman sitting in front of him with a solemn look on her face, "Maste-" "Do not call me that."

Aeliana cut him off mid-sentence. Nux paused, looking at Aeliana, waiting for her to explain. "You lied to me, Nux Leander." "Hmm?" Nux tilted his head. Knowing that he won't give in so quickly, Aeliana continued, "You lied when you said you didn't know anything about Yrniel. Têxt belongs to .

Rather, you seem to know quite a lot about Yrniel even before you met me. You even recognized the princess of the Lust State in an instant." As he heard those words, Nux's smile widened, "You investigated your disciple's past. It is not something a Master should do." He commented. "It is hard not to do it when you notice your disciple using an energy that is not from this world," Aeliana replied. She wasn't a fool. She may have carelessly skipped it before, however, with Nux defeating the strongest of Emperors gathered from all over the Low Order without as much as receiving even a single bruise, she couldn't help but have doubts. It didn't matter how strong he was, the fact that he, someone who is barely 50 was handling eight Top Level Complete Emperors with so much ease was suspicious. That was when Aeliana finally noticed something off. The Energy Nux was using. It was much more advanced than Mana. Of course, there were countless cultivation techniques in Yrniel that required another type of energy to be cultivated instead of Mana. These energies all had their own advantages, however, along with advantages, they also had their disadvantages. Nux's energy on the other hand… it seemed like another version of Mana but… much more advanced. Something that shouldn't exist in Yrniel. No one in Yrniel was strong or knowledgeable enough to be able to create something like this. "What do you intend to do now?" Suddenly, Nux questioned, bringing Aeliana out of her reverie. The Vampire narrowed her eyes as she stared at her 'disciple.' "So you admit that you lied to me?" She questioned. "Come on, Master. Let's not act naïve here." Suddenly, Nux laughed out loud. "Didn't you already know that you were being lied to?" Aeliana narrowed her eyes. "You still accepted me as your disciple nonetheless, didn't you?

So stop trying to guilt trip me since that won't give you any advantage here, just tell me, what do you intend to do?" "I have my ways to get answers from you, the question is, what do you want me to do?" Aeliana replied, dropping all the games. "Do not use [Charm] on me." "So you knew…" Aeliana muttered lightly. "You are a Vampire, Master. I know how dangerous Vampires are." Nux chuckled. "Then what do-" "Use the Truthblood Amulet." Suddenly, Nux spoke up. Aeliana paused, looking at Nux as she narrowed her eyes. Truthblood Amulet was a 14 Star Artifact created by the Dwarven Progenitors, it was one of the few rare Artifacts that all six Progenitors came together to create. It was an absolute tool to detect lies. The Amulet binds with the wearer's blood, once this connection is formed, it has the ability to read the wearer like an open book, from emotional fluctuations, organ activities, to energy movements, it reads them all and detects whether the wearer is lying or not. As a 14-Star Artifact, fooling the Amulet was just not possible, even Cultivators above Divine Stage couldn't do it. The darn thing even worked on the Progenitors. That was simply how strong it was. "Are you… sure…?" Aeliana questioned with a grave look on her face. The Truthblood Amulet wasn't something that could be used lightly. Sure, it was a great way to tell whether the person was lying or not, however, once found that the wearer was indeed lying, it sends energy inside the wearer's body, making them feel pain so strong that even the strongest and the most well-trained spies and assassins would give into that pain. Sometimes, the pain is so agonizing that the wearer loses his mind and his mind breaks. The sight is oftentimes too horrifying to even look at. Nux, who was suggesting such an option…

"I am. That is the very reason I suggested the idea to begin with. I do not wish to stand against you, Master. So if this is what it takes to ease your doubts, I will gladly do it." Nux replied with a smile, Aeliana, who saw the look on his face, momentarily paused, before she finally took out a pendant with what seemed like ruby attached at the centre and passed it to Nux. "Wear it then." She spoke. Nux nodded as she wrapped the Amulet around his neck, as soon as he did, he felt the amulet piercing his skin and absorbing his blood. He could sense a connection being formed, the ruby attached to the amulet started glowing. Knowing that the connection was formed, Nux took out a piece of paper and passed it to Aeliana. "Ask me any of the questions mentioned there."

"Why would I ask questions you are clearly well prepared for?"

"Because those are the only questions, you, as the Leader of Ancestral Order and my Master, should be worried about," Nux replied with a solemn look on his face. Aeliana stared at him for a minute, then, she read the questions written on the paper he passed, and then she nodded in agreement. Aeliana stared at him for a minute, then, she read the questions written on the paper he passed, and then she nodded in agreement. "These are enough." "Why don't you start then, my dear Master?"
