He had not sensed that Bright Moon Po was actually lying in wait in the room next door. At this moment, the three Level 2 [Soul Devouring Bugs] in the room also discovered that their master, Lv Zhong, was under attack and immediately launched a mad assault on Bright Moon Po. Soul Attack Thorn! Three Level 3 Soul Attack Thorns, each coming from different directions, attacked Bright Moon Po. After releasing these three Soul Attack Thorns, these three Level 2 [Soul Devouring Bugs] also exposed their stingers to Bright Moon Po, attacking him at lightning speed from three different directions. “Little creatures, you are courting death—” Bright Moon Po became angered, a streak of silver light suddenly flashing in mid-air. “Sizzle, sizzle…” The silver light flashed past, and the three lightning-fast [Soul Devouring Bugs] were instantly cut in half by the silver light. At this moment, Lv Zhong also noticed that the flash of silver in Bright Moon Po’s hand was actually an extremely sharp soft sword. It was previously concealed by Bright Moon Po inside his belt! “So powerful! Truly worthy of being an Innate Pinnacle powerhouse. He easily killed Level 2 [Soul Devouring Bugs].” Lv Zhong cast a deep glance at Bright Moon Po not far away. There was surprise and heartache in his eyes, but absolutely no fear. With the [Plague God Pearl], worst comes to worst, Lv Zhong could hide within the space of the [Plague God Pearl]! Moreover, even though the Bright Moon Po in front of him was an Innate Pinnacle Realm powerhouse, it didn’t necessarily mean he could kill Lv Zhong! Since he did not manage to kill Lv Zhong earlier, then it was likely that he could no longer launch a sneak attack or successfully assassinate Lv Zhong. “What a pity!” As Lv Zhong looked at the three Level 2 [Soul Devouring Bugs] that were killed by Bright Moon Po, he secretly lamented. Although these Level 2 [Soul Devouring Bugs] were unable to deal with Bright Moon Po who was at the Innate Pinnacle Realm, if they launched a surprise attack on a Middle Innate Stage individual, they might be successful. Furthermore, once the [Soul Devouring Bugs] evolved to Level 4, they would then have the ability to contend against cultivators within the Innate Pinnacle Realm! … “You’re Lv Zhong, right? Even though you’re somewhat clever, you’re still not enough to attract my attention.” After dealing with the three Soul Devouring Bugs, Bright Moon Po’s gaze fell on Lv Zhong. His eyes contained a hint of appreciation, but also a hint of disdain. Lv Zhong understood the meaning in Bright Moon Po’s words and couldn’t help but nod, “Indeed, I was careful enough. But you’re too cunning. You have set up traps at every turn, making it impossible to guard against.” Originally, Lv Zhong was careful enough to send out the [Soul Devouring Bugs] to scout as soon as he was alerted by Dongfang Linglong. When Lv Zhong confirmed that there were only two ancient martial artists in Dongfang Linglong’s house, he instructed the [Soul Devouring Bugs] to launch a sneak attack. He easily disposed of the two in the forefront, but didn’t expect that Zhao Ziyu was also disguised as an enemy. Subsequently, the disguised Zhao Ziyu suddenly launched a surprise attack. If Dongfang Linglong hadn’t used her body to shield Lv Zhong, the bullet would have hit Lv Zhong’s heart. Yet after Lv Zhong resolved the issue with the counterfeit Zhao Ziyu, the most powerful Bright Moon Po who was hiding next door launched the final attack on Lv Zhong… Even though he received part of Plague God Lv Yue’s memory, Lv Zhong’s understanding of society and human nature was still insufficient. Even Lv Yue from the Era of Gods did not encounter such an unpredictable opponent. People in their Era of Gods did not have access to as much information as modern people, and their mindsets were simpler than those of modern people. Lv Zhong believed that even if Lv Yue were here, he too would fall for Bright Moon Po’s trick under the same circumstances. “Thank you for the compliment, but don’t think you can stall for time.” Bright Moon Po scoffed and grabbed Lv Zhong, saying, “I know you’ve cultivated some kind of mystical bug capable of attacking the soul. However, you must know that these bugs can’t harm an Innate Pinnacle martial artist. In any case, if you intend to surreptitiously command them to deal with me, I can kill you first.” The expression on Lv Zhong’s face did not change. Since the other party came in disguise and infiltrated his defenses, he must have grasped some of Lv Zhong’s information. Furthermore, Lv Zhong wasn’t worried about his own safety at all. What he could command were not just the [Soul Devouring Bugs]! Most importantly, since Bright Moon Po wanted to capture him alive, there must be something he wanted to obtain from him. Otherwise, if he simply wanted to seek revenge for his disciple, he would have acted long ago. However, even though Lv Zhong wasn’t worried about himself, he was a little worried about Dongfang Linglong. After all, Dongfang Linglong’s physique was only a little stronger than that of ordinary people. She was shot through by a bullet. Although Lv Zhong had barely managed to stop her bleeding, she needed medical attention as soon as possible. With that in mind, Lv Zhong, without any changes in his expression, cast a deep glance at Bright Moon Po and said, “Your methods are too mean. With your state of mind, I’m afraid you will never break through the shackles of the Innate Pinnacle Realm!” “Hehe, don’t try to scare me, I won’t buy into it,” Bright Moon Po replied with a sneer, narrowing his eyes slightly. With his left hand holding Lv Zhong, his right hand took out a black, odorous pill and shoved it into Lv Zhong’s mouth. With a knock on Lv Zhong’s chin, the foul-smelling pill slid down Lv Zhong’s throat. Suddenly, Lv Zhong felt an indescribable pain rising from his abdomen. Within a moment, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. His face was extremely distorted due to the intense pain. Poison! Lv Zhong grit his teeth, his face dark, and he stared furiously at Bright Moon Po. At this moment, a boundless rage and killing intent surged in his heart. “Old man, your life is marked!” Lv Zhong swept a cold, ruthless gaze at Ming Yue Po and sentenced him to death in his heart. “Little beast, stop looking at me like that.” Ming Yue Po glared at Lv Zhong with a sinister look, saying: “Although the pill may cause a bit of pain once ingested, it cannot be classified as poison. It’s a hallucinogenic pill, it forces you to tell the truth!” A hallucinogenic pill? Not a poison? Lv Zhong sneered inwardly. His family has been doctors for generations, and they have produced countless renowned physicians. How could he not tell that this was a poison? This pill indeed had hallucinogenic properties, but it could directly harm the human nervous system, even destroy the meridians in the body, and it could dissipate the internal power of a warrior cultivator’s dantian. And this medicine is not considered poison? However, it was Ming Yue Po’s destined misfortune to attempt poisoning Lv Zhong. Having the [Poison-Devouring Worm], Lv Zhong was the natural nemesis of all toxins. Quietly, Lv Zhong summoned the [Mother Insect of the Poison-Devouring Worm], which was resting inside the [Plague God Pearl], along with some Level 2 and Level 1 [Poison-Devouring Worms], letting them settle in his body ready to start devouring the toxins stored within him… Seeming very confident in his poison, Ming Yue Po temporarily paid no attention to Lv Zhong. He took out three green pills and fed them individually to the two unconscious men and the woman who had been impersonating Zhao Ziyu. Huh! Lv Zhong was surprised as he glanced at Ming Yue Po. Although he knew that Ming Yue Po was a cultivator, Lv Zhong hadn’t expected that the pills this old fellow could produce were no simple items. Silently extending his Spiritual Sense, Lv Zhong cautiously probed the unconscious trio, finding that their damaged spiritual powers were slowly recovering. This Ming Yue Po sure has a lot of good things stored away! Lv Zhong couldn’t help but frown slightly. If these three recovered, it wouldn’t be advantageous for him. Lv Zhong understood that Ming Yue Po wanted to extract some secrets from him, which was why he hadn’t killed him with a single blow. As for the woman pretending to be Zhao Ziyu, it had to be Ming Yue Po’s third disciple, Ming Xue. Although she had been violated by Ming Yuan, her heart was entirely devoted to Ming Yu, the throat-cutting man. And Lv Zhong was the prime culprit for Ming Yu’s misfortune. That’s why she tried to kill Lv Zhong with a single shot earlier. Unfortunately, Dongfang Linglong had messed things up for her! Having fed his three disciples the pills, Ming Yue Po turned back with a smile on his face, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Lv Zhong and Dongfang Linglong, who was severely injured and somewhat disoriented. “So, this woman has the body constitution of Profound Yin Maiden. She could serve as an excellent furnace cauldron and is also a great cultivation prospect. Tsk tsk, such a good physique could even make me somewhat tempted. No wonder my disciple fell for you two. Hehe…” Ming Yue Po’s gaze firmly fell on Dongfang Linglong as he laughed sinisterly. He knew about Dongfang Linglong’s physique! Upon hearing this, Lv Zhong feigned ignorance. He even purposely appeared as if the poison was attacking his nerves, slightly revealing a dazed expression on his face. “Lv Zhong, stop playing dumb. Although the poison is good and can numb your nerves, with your early innate strength, you could resist it for at least two hours. So, showing that expression now is a wasted effort.” Ming Yue Po looked at Lv Zhong with incisive eyes and laughed. Damn it! This guy is too cunning! He could actually figure out my strength at a glance? A shock ran through Lv Zhong’s heart, but he soon realized that Ming Yue Po must have guessed it. If you really talk about true abilities, he believed that even stronger individuals wouldn’t be able to see through his level of strength under the protection of the [Plague God Pearl]. However, Lv Zhong had only recently broken through to the Early Innate Stage, and his Qi control wasn’t very good, which made it easy for others to gauge his strength. After all, after becoming an innate realm expert, there would be significant changes in one’s physical constitution. And Lv Zhong believed this was how Ming Yue Po had guessed it. At this thought, Lv Zhong’s heart skipped a beat. Since Ming Yue Po could see through his strength, he would naturally be able to figure out that Ming Yu had reached the Innate Realm a few months ago. With this, he would surely suspect how Ming Yu could reach the Innate Realm in such a short period. In that case, the [Harmony Yin Yang Technique] must be what Ming Yue Po wanted to obtain from him. Ming Yue Po looked meaningfully at Lv Zhong and suddenly said, “Lv Zhong, hand over the thing you took from Ming Yu. I can promise to leave your corpse intact.” As expected! Lv Zhong’s guess was correct. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
