Chapter 293: Confidence
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tang Chongye’s words enlightened Lu Ming.
All the talk about the subversives, the Aeonians, the Giant Insects, the Undead, and the Ancient Beasts… all this messy information could be put aside.
He just needed to know one thing.
The subversives and the Aeonians, along with their respective followers, were at odds and ready to fight.
Without delving into the specific logic behind it all, knowing that two major factions were at odds was enough.
And Lu Ming was clearly not an international relations expert.
He had never been particularly interested in such things.
Instead, it was Moon Fiend who pulled Lu Ming into this mess. Otherwise, Lu Ming might have continued to live a peaceful life, without the need to get involved in this mess.
Taking a deep breath as if to vent his frustration and dissatisfaction with Moon Fiend, Lu Ming shook his head and said, “I’m going back to my room.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Tang Chongye’s eyes flashed as he looked at Lu Ming’s back and narrowed his eyes slightly. It was unknown what he was thinking.
In the next few days, Lu Ming stayed in seclusion, focusing on his cultivation. Tang Chongye also remained in seclusion and secretly observed Lu Ming.
He could not forget the tragic deaths of his comrades.
But Moon Fiend’s presence prevented him from seeking revenge on Lu Ming at the moment.
However, just because he could not take revenge now did not mean that he could not do it in the future.
Tang Chongye thought that he would take this opportunity to observe Lu Ming closely and see what kind of person he was and what weaknesses he might have!
Five days later, Moon Fiend reappeared, but Tang Chongye still had not gleaned any useful information about Lu Ming.
Under Moon Fiend’s summons, the two of them headed to the entrance of the Guest Reception Pavilion.
Lu Ming felt refreshed and rejuvenated after his five days of seclusion, and his restlessness had eased.
Tang Chongye, on the other hand, looked at Lu Ming with a wooden expression.
“Do you only know how to cultivate? Women? Fine wine? Gourmet? Do you not have any interests?”
Lu Ming looked at Tang Chongye strangely.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Tang Chongye remained silent.
“Never mind, let’s go, Blackmond will be back soon.”
Moon Fiend spoke, and with the two of them, she left the Guest Reception Pavilion and headed to another palace of the four Ancient Beast Clans.
Inside the palace, Lu Ming once again saw the other three Beast Kings excluding Blackmond.
They still bowed their heads, standing on both sides of the door to show respect for Moon Fiend.
Seeing this, Moon Fiend snorted and did not bother saying much to them. She just walked to the largest seat in the hall and sat down.
The ma.s.sive chair created a stark contrast with Moon Fiend’s pet.i.te frame, but given her divine-level strength, there was an eerie harmony in it.
Lu Ming followed Tang Chongye and stood beside Moon Fiend.
Moon Fiend surveyed the area below and locked her gaze onto Emperor Yao, the Beast King.
“How soon will Blackmond return?”
As she spoke, the coldness in her tone was obvious.
Before Emperor Yao could respond, a voice sounded from outside.
“I’ve made you wait, my lord. I’m back now, aren’t 1?”
A burst of light and shadows appeared at the door.
A tall, muscular man with dark skin, looking ugly and slightly fierce, stepped forward with a barbaric aura.
He was ugly and even vaguely ferocious. A black scale was faintly visible between his eyebrows.
This was Blackmond.
At this moment, Blackmond held his head high, showing no humility or deference, unlike when facing a deity.
In fact, there was a lack of respect even in his tone.
This made Moon Fiend’s expression turn cold. She was about to get angry when she suddenly noticed three other figures materialize behind Blackmond.
They were an Aeonian with two Giant Clan members!
Moon Fiend instantly took a deep breath.
“What do you mean?”
Moon Fiend glared at Blackmond and asked him.
Without waiting for Blackmond to speak, the Aeonian behind him took a step forward and stood in front of Blackmond, directly facing Moon Fiend.
He smiled and said, “A good bird chooses a good tree to roost. Can’t you understand Patriarch Blackmond’s intentions, Lady Moon Fiend?”
In the background, the male Giant Clan member also spoke, but his tone was less friendly.
“It’s said that Moon Fiend sold her body and latched onto the giant whale of that generation. At the last moment, she used a dirty trick to reach the top of the Heaven Ascension Stairs. Isn’t this just a deity who rose to power through deceit? Now that I see you, you’re indeed brainless. As fellow deities at the Divine Spirit Realm, 1 feel even more ashamed…”
This was undoubtedly a direct insult, and the newcomer did not come with good intentions!
Moon Fiend’s eyes reddened on the spot.
Her aura instantly surged, and the s.p.a.ce began to shatter, brewing a terrifying storm that was about to erupt!
Without a doubt, with the power of a deity, this furious strike was enough to destroy everything in this city and the nearby area, including all living beings!
However, that Aeonian and the male Giant Clan member were no pushovers either.
In just a moment, a brief burst of light emanated from their bodies, and they confronted Moon Fiend head-on.
In just that fleeting moment, Moon Fiend’s imposing presence was immediately suppressed and retreated back into her body. Her face turned pale, and the fierceness on her face disappeared.
The Aeonian deity smiled and said, “If you want to fight, let’s do it in the heavens.”
As he spoke, he pointed at himself and the male giant beside him.
“You can pick either of us. one-on-one, just a little sparring.”
But Moon Fiend remained silent…
Bully the weak, she could do it.
But against an opponent of the same level, she was not confident.
It was only at this moment that Blackmond grinned and said, “Lord Shufang is right. A good bird chooses a good tree to roost on. Unfortunately, Lady Moon Fiend, the price you subversives offer is far less than what the Aeonians offer.”
Moon Fiend immediately retorted, “Isn’t the blood of the Beast King enough for you?!”
Blackmond waggled his head and said, “Not enough, far from enough… 1 can’t research anything from that blood of the Beast King at all…”
The female Giant behind Blackmond smiled and said, “It’s actually the secret techniques of our Giant Clan that are more compatible with the const.i.tution of the four ancient beast tribes. Compared to the unknown and possibly fake blood of the Beast King, our tribe leader, Blackmond clearly thinks that it’s more valuable to cooperate with us.”
After saying this, this female giant whispered to Moon Fiend, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Haona, the surviving member of the Giant Clan that you subversives had defeated.”
Lu Ming could not help but look at Haona.
This woman was about three meters tall, but her figure was extremely good, with slightly slimmer bones compared to a typical Giant Clan member, but her figure was even more graceful and pleasing to the eye.
Her facial features were very dignified, with no apparent flaws in her appearance.
After a quick glance at Haona, Lu Ming then used the corner of his eye to glance at Tang Chongye.
He realized that Tang Chongye’s expression was also not good…
They had thought this mission would be a breeze, but they had not expected this turn of events.
Moon Fiend was well aware of her own situation.
She continued to scrutinize the Aeonian deity called Shufang and the other Giant deity. After a long time, she half-closed her eyes.
“So, what do you intend to do now?”
“If you kill me, the subversives will not spare you.. Absolutely not!”
