Chapter 294: The So-Called Master suffers Humiliation and his Loyal Subject Dies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From the beginning, Lu Ming knew that Moon Fiend was just a figurehead.
She just had the strength of gods—but this strength was relative to the weak.
However, it was not as majestic as a god.
At this moment, when Moon Fiend spoke, it immediately elicited sneers from Shufang and Hao Jun…
“killing you, the Subversives won’t let us off…”
“Please, Sister, you make it sound like we’re good friends now.”
In any case, Yao Yue seemed to only be able to use this method to save the situation of falling to the bottom.
Fortunately…
Shufang did not seem to have any intention of killing Moon Fiend.
He stopped smiling and said slowly, “Go back and tell the higher-ups of your subversives that with my Hundred Schools of Philosophy guarding it, you won’t be able to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”
“Now, get lost!”
“Don’t let me see you again in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, got it?1
Moon Fiend did not say a word and just slowly stood up from her chair.
There was no expression on her face, and she dared not utter a harsh word. She just quickly rushed to the entrance of the grand hall with Lu Ming and Tang Chongye.
It looked like they were fleeing in a sorry state.
As they passed by Hao Jun, he bared his teeth and grinned at Moon Fiend, “Trash.”
“Also, everyone says that you, Moon Fiend, are the best at sleeping with men, is that true?”
Moon Fiend’s lips trembled, she clenched her fists, hesitated for a second, did not say a word and just walked away.
Haona looked at Hao Jun and Shufang.
“Aren’t you going to kill her?”
Shufang shook his head. “There’s no point in killing her.”
The total number of Divine Spirit Realm experts on both sides had long exceeded a hundred. Under such a situation, Moon Fiend was not an indispensable force.
Killing her would only exacerbate the tensions between the two sides.
It was not that Shufang was afraid of further escalating the conflict. What he feared was that they were not prepared yet. Once Moon Fiend died, an immediate battle between the two sides might not be in the best interest of the Eternal Clan.
Hao Jun’s logic was even simpler and he said, “It doesn’t matter when you kill the weakest god that you can crush at any time.”
Haona did not say anything more when she heard this. She just looked at the Blackmond Beast King beside her.
“In the future, Mr. Shufang and Lord Hao Jun will guard the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Blackmond, rest assured, since you’ve chosen to switch sides, we won’t abandon you.”
Blackmond grinned again and said, “That’s good. But what about those secret techniques you promised previously…”
Haona smiled and said, “1 brought them all.”
As soon as they left the hall, Moon Fiend instantly soared into the sky.
Lu Ming suddenly felt a tremendous force dragging him and Tang Chongye along, and in the next second, the three of them shot out instantly.
The scenery along the way flashed past in the blink of an eye. Even Lu Ming’s dynamic vision could not capture anything.
In just three seconds, Lu Ming felt a strong sense of nausea. Before he could speak, Moon Fiend’s figure suddenly stopped.
The three of them had already arrived at the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains…
Silence.
Stagnation.
The atmosphere seemed to have frozen.
Moon Fiend floated above the two of them, her back to them, making it impossible for them to see her expression.
Lu Ming and Tang Chongye just stood there. Neither of them dared to say a word. They could only vaguely sense the chilling murderous intent emanating from Moon Fiend’s body.
Her target was both of them!
She wants to lull us?
Why?
After a brief moment of thought, Lu Ming had an answer.
Because we saw her make a fool of herself…
It was like a pervert who had been bullied outside, taking it out on innocent small animals in a dark and deserted place.
The atmosphere grew even colder.
Until Moon Fiend suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them.
This time, the murderous intent in her eyes was no longer concealed!
It instantly swept across Lu Ming and Tang Chongye. Then, Moon Fiend’s gaze locked onto…
Tang Chongye!
This made Tang Chongye’s breathing stagnate and his expression stiffen. Then, he immediately spoke.
“Lord Moon Fiend, you can’t kill me!”
“My father is a big shot in the Insect Clan’s military, and I have means of resurrection and divine soul locking! If my father finds out that I died at your hands…”
He was finished.
Lu Ming immediately realized that Tang Chongye was in trouble.
As expected, before Tang Chongye could finish speaking, Moon Fiend had already sneered.
“Other god-level beings dare to threaten me? Who do you think you are to dare to threaten me?!”
Gods could not be humiliated!
However, to put it bluntly, it was actually still a matter of strength.
Shufang and Hao Jun were stronger than Moon Fiend. Even if Moon Fiend, this deity, was humiliated, she had to grit her teeth and swallow it. But, what about you, Tang Chongye? What is your quasi-divine level father to Moon Fiend?
If Tang Chongye had not said what he did, Moon Fiend might have hesitated. But, after Tang Chongye said those words, there was no room for maneuver.
Tang Chongye’s breathing instantly disappeared.
From the corner of his eye, Lu Ming saw Tang Chongye instantly disappear without a trace, as if he had never existed…
Means of resurrection?
Divine soul locking?
These messy things had no chance of working in front of a god-level being Tang Chongye was truly dead…
Lu Ming sighed slightly in his heart.
Tang Chongye was quite capable.
But just because Moon Fiend was in a bad mood, he died just like that…
Then, what should he do?
“It’s your turn.”
Moon Fiend’s cold voice sounded in Lu Ming’s ears, snapping him back to his senses.
After some thought, he said, “Lord Moon Fiend, 1 have a question for you.”
Moon Fiend said calmly, “Go ahead.”
“Why did you choose to kill Tang Chongye first and then me?”
Moon Fiend said coldly, “You’re my subordinate, he’s not.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Yue’s expression softened slightly, but her killing intent did not fade at all. “However, this is the last kindness 1 can give you.”
“As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the subject will die. This can be considered a worthy death for you.”
It was impossible for him to live.
If 1 can’t deal with Shufang, I can’t deal with you?
Lu Ming had a realization….
Did she think that the benefits and treatment he received as her subordinate were so good?
As his thoughts raced, a glimmer of insight suddenly arose within him.
As Lu Ming opened his attribute panel and prepared to take the final gamble when things could not be done, he said, “Lord, if you killed me just to vent your anger, it would be too wasteful.”
“Moreover, 1 think that just killing me and Tang Chongye, these two insignificant beings, is not enough to offset the humiliation you suffered.”
Moon Fiend narrowed her eyes and said, “On account of us being master and subordinate, I’ll give you three more chances to say something.”
Lu Ming immediately continued, “My true identity is a spy buried beside you, by the Aeonians. From the beginning, Blackmond’s invitation was a trap they set for you.”
“You fought Shufang for 300 rounds and escaped with serious injuries, but you failed to protect Tang Chongye.”
“Tang Chongye’s father is a high-ranking member of the Insect Clan’s military and he happens to be stationed in Archean City. Coupled with the fact that you were humiliated by the Four Ancient Beast Clans, these two reasons are enough to justify launching a war against the Four Ancient Beasts Clans.”
After hearing what Lu Ming had said, Yao Yue seemed to be deep in thought and did not attack immediately. Lu Ming continued, “The humiliation you suffered must be paid with blood by the treacherous four ancient beast races!”
“Even Shufang and the Giant Clan’s Queen have to use their lives to repay your lost dignity.”
Lu Ming’s words were powerful.
Moon Fiend pondered for a moment and could not help but nod, “You’re right…”
Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and heard Moon Fiend say, “But what about you? Your suggestions, I could accomplish on my own, so what role do you play in this?”
“Moreover, your identity as a spy only proves that I was wrong in my judgment. It might be better for you to die alongside Tang Chongye at the hands of the Four Ancient Beast Clans. You might even receive a hero’s ending.
As she spoke, Moon Fiend licked her lips. “Rest assured, I’ll make sure you die gloriously, and there won’t be a shortage of posthumous honors.”
In his mind, Lu Ming thought, “What do I care about that?” Then he spoke again, “Because I am a spy, you trust me, which is why 1 entered the trap set by the Four Ancient Beast Clans.”
“It’s also because I obstructed them from within that the Four Ancient Beast
Clans switched allegiances to the Eternal Clan.”
“And this isn’t a matter of misjudgment; it’s about using people without doubt.”
The notion of being a spy was at least a sort of excuse.
It sounded better than causing problems with no excuse at all.
“Furthermore, Lord Moon Fiend, you’re underestimating my abilities.”
With that said, his expression turned serious, “I have connections within the Eternal Clan. 1 can infiltrate the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. Give me some time and I’ll be able to dig up the entire lineage of Shufang’s descendants!”
“The insults he directed at you today will undoubtedly be avenged with the blood of his eighteen generations of descendants!”
As he spoke, Lu Ming made a throat-slitting motion with his hand.
“You take care of destroying Shufang himself, and I’ll take care of eradicating the continuation of his bloodline.”
“What do you think of such a revenge?”
