Chapter 295: Dead Enmity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Moon Fiend fell into deep contemplation.
The words “spy” and “bloodline revenge” made her somewhat tempted.
The former would provide an explanation for her actions to the subversives.
At least, it was better than nothing. She could not possibly admit that she could not control Blackmond, and that he completely disregarded her authority.
The latter was a personal grudge.
There was no hope of her personally taking revenge on Shufang. But if she could make his descendants suffer or even perish, it would alleviate Moon Fiend’s sense of humiliation!
To put it bluntly, if she could not handle the old, she would deal with the young.
However, doing this herself was too risky, and how could Moon Fiend possibly have the courage to venture into the Eternal Clan’s territory alone?
Moreover, she did not have many subordinates to begin with. After thinking about it, the only person who seemed suitable for the task was Lu Ming.
Soon, she looked up at Lu Ming and asked, “Can you really infiltrate the Hundred Schools of Philosophy?”
Lu Ming immediately nodded, “Yes, 1 can.”
Though at the moment, Lu Ming had no idea what the Hundred Schools of Philosophy even were….
After thinking for a moment, Moon Fiend asked, “Can you really trace Shufang’s descendants for eighteen generations?”
“He might not even have any descendants.”
The lifespan of a god was endless, and Shufang’s age was unknown. His existing descendants and their relationship with him were unknown as well, and it was even uncertain whether he had any descendants at all.
Lu Ming said calmly, “Even if there are no direct descendants, there are likely still nephews or nieces, or friends whose descendants exist, right?”
“Besides, we have to try everything, we won’t know until we try.”
With that said, Lu Ming added, “If you want to kill me out of frustration, why not take a gamble on me? To you, I’m just a dead man, and my life is unimportant to you.”
“Since my life means nothing to you, why do you have to kill me? Keeping me alive as a gamble is less risky for you. And if it succeeds, even if I can only get rid of one descendant or grand descendant of Shufang, it’s still better than killing me directly, isn’t it?”
Moon Fiend fell into deep thought again.
After a long time, her tone softened slightly, “I’m just afraid that you might spread today’s events all over the place.”
Lu Ming shook his head and said, “My mouth is sealed. Besides, even if you could silence me, what about Shufang’s mouth? Are you able to silence the Four Ancient Beast Clans’ mouths?”
“In the end, my lord, only revenge and bloodshed can wash away the humiliation you suffered today!”
“Moreover, there’s not much meaning in using the blood of your own people to wash away the humiliation…”
“It’s only by using the blood of the enemy to wash away the humiliation that can truly reveal the character of a hero.”
To be honest, this Moon Fiend was definitely not a hero. Instead, she was a coward.
She genuinely wanted to use the blood of her own people to vent her anger. This was not only meaningless, but also a sign of her incompetence.
However, people like her yearned for recognition from the outside world and wanted to do something “heroic,” such as exacting revenge!
Lu Ming’s words struck a chord with Yao Yue, and naturally tempted her.
She nodded. “That’s a good idea. Let’s do it this way…”
Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
He had managed to survive this ordeal with the old demonic woman…
However, Moon Fiend’s next words immediately made Lu Ming curse in his heart.
“But to prevent you from running away or refusing to work for me, I need to place a certain measure on you.”
As she spoke, a dim gray light bloomed from Moon Fiend’s hand.
She looked at Lu Ming and said coldly,
“Now, absorb it.”
“It’s time to prove your loyalty.”
‘Loyalty…’
As he muttered these words in his heart, Lu Ming felt a little disgusted.
This was also the first time he had such a strong killing intent towards a certain someone.
Even more so than Queen Blade!
This killing intent was so ferocious and violent that Lu Ming even wanted to add points on the spot and use all his trump cards to see if he could give this smelly bitch a resounding slap.
But after some consideration, he restrained himself.
He closed his eyes and reflected on everything that had happened during this period of time.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Lu Ming became.
“It’s you who disrupted my peaceful life.”
“You forced me to become your subordinate.”
“You’ve only made me do things without ever offering any benefits.”
“Now, you’re venting your anger on me because you were insulted by an even stronger expert.”
Fine…
Lu Ming had long understood the Black Mist Zone’s character.
Everything was determined by strength, and no matter what level of power Moon Fiend had in the Divine Spirit Realm, Lu Ming was currently not a god and was far weaker than Moon Fiend.
And when you are weak, you get beaten up.
The weak would be humiliated.
This was an unchanging principle.
As his eyes opened and closed, countless thoughts flashed raced through his mind. Just when Moon Fiend’s face revealed impatience, Lu Ming took a step forward, reached out, and touched the gray light.
In the next second, a cold aura instantly seeped into Lu Ming’s body and circulated before quickly disappearing!
“Moonlight Curse Seal, my ultimate skill.”
When she saw Lu Ming had absorbed the gray light, she smiled with satisfaction.
Then,she added,
“The effect allows it to be detonated at any time according to my will. The trace of Divine Source within it is enough to blow you up until your corpse is beyond redemption!”
Any small trick of a god was impossible to resist for existences below the Divine Spirit Realm.
This was common knowledge, and a law!
Therefore, when Moon Fiend saw Lu Ming willingly accept the Moonlight Curse Seal, she felt like everything was under her control.
She even took a step forward and gently patted Lu Ming’s shoulder.
“Do a good job for me and be obedient, and if you do this, I won’t detonate the Moonlight Curse Seal, instead, I’ll give you more benefits…”
In his mind, Lu Ming could not help but roll his eyes.
Benefits?
What the fuck rewards did I get from you?
You b*tch, you’re really thick-skinned…
However, he was not too worried.
This was because, from the moment he came into contact with the Moonlight Curse Seal, Lu Ming had already opened his attribute panel.
The clear text on the attribute panel completely reassured Lu Ming.
[Moonlight Curse Seal: A curse of the Divine Spirit Realm. It can be detonated at any time according to the will of the person who cast the curse! The trace of Divine Source contained within it can completely extinguish the life force of the cursed person from its source!]
The effect was indeed as Moon Fiend had described…
Speaking of which, this woman’s brain probably could not come up with any decent lies.
The crucial part was the next sentence.
[Note: You can use 1 Divine Source Point to completely erase the effect of the Moonlight Curse Seal.]
“So, the price is 1 Divine Source Point…”
After some thought, Lu Ming found this acceptable.
Of course, the premise was that Moon Fiend would not pull any tricks again.
As for Moon Fiend, she indeed did not play any more tricks—because she was certain that with the Moonlight Curse Seal in her hand, she had Lu Ming completely under her control.
“Go do your work.”
After saying this coldly, Moon Fiend continued, “Go to the Eternal Clan and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy as soon as possible.”
With that, Moon Fiend turned around and left.
Lu Ming watched her retreating figure, keeping his head down and remaining silent.
Only after Moon Fiend had gone far away did Lu Ming turn around and head back to Frost Lake..
