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 noticedthe situation he was in.
His body seemed powerless, hecouldn'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.
Rather, you seem to knowquite a lotabout 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, thefact that he, someonewho isbarely50was 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 requiredanother type of energy to be cultivated instead of Mana.
These energies all had theirownadvantages, however, along with advantages, they also had their disadvantages.
Nux's energyonthe other hand…itseemed like another version of Mana but…much more advanced.
Something that shouldn't exist in Yrniel.
No one in Yrniel was strong or knowledgeable enoughto be ableto 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,justtell me, what do you intend to do?" "I have my ways to get answers from you, thequestion 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, itwas one of the few rare Artifacts that all six Progenitors came together to create.
It was an absolute tool to detect lies.
TheAmuletbinds with the wearer's blood, oncethis connectionis formed, ithas the ability toread the wearer like an open book, fromemotionalfluctuations,organactivities,to energy movements, it reads them all and detects whether the wearer is lying or not.
As a 14-Star Artifact, fooling theAmuletwas just not possible, even Cultivators above Divine Stage couldn't do it.
The darn thing even worked on the Progenitors.
That wassimplyhow strong it was.
"Are you… sure…?" Aeliana questioned with a grave look on her face.
The Truthblood Amulet wasn't something thatcould be usedlightly.
Sure, it was a great way to tell whether the person was lying or not, however, once found that the wearer was indeed lying, itsendsenergy inside the wearer's body, making them feel pain sostrongthat even the strongest and the most well-trained spies and assassins would give into that pain.
Sometimes, the pain is soagonizingthat the wearer loses his mindandhis 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, momentarilypaused,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 theAmuletaround his neck, assoon as he did, he felt theamuletpiercing his skin and absorbing his blood.
He could sense a connectionbeingformed, theruby attached to theamuletstarted glowing.
Knowing thatthe connection was formed, Nux tookouta piece of paper and passed it to Aeliana.
"Ask me any of the questions mentioned there."
"Why would I ask questions you areclearlywell prepared for?"
"Because those are the onlyquestions,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 writtenon the paper he passed, and then she nodded in agreement.

"These are enough." "Why don't you start then, my dear Master?"
