Chapter 417: A Complete Wipeout! A Massive Profit (Part 1)

The current state of the Lavur Island Lord seemed to have no issues.

One could tell he was furious, like a simmering volcano about to erupt at any moment.

This was normal.

After all, he had just learned that his hometown had been destroyed, and everyone there was dead. It would be strange if he wasn't angry and on the verge of exploding.

Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and looked in the direction of Lai Wu and Lu Ming.

However, the distance was too far, and amidst the intense battle, his senses were affected, so he couldn't see clearly, but he could sense that Lai Wu had entered his range of perception.

"!!!"

The Lavur Island Lord's heart sank.

At this moment, he only knew that Lavur Island was finished, and no one had survived in his hometown, but he didn't know what had become of Lavur Island.

Nevertheless, in his opinion, Lai Wu shouldn't have encountered any trouble, as Lai Wu's strength was even greater than his own.

Moreover, the greatest advantage of beasts was their terrifying and massive physical bodies.

If it came to a real fight, the Lavur Island Lord was certain he could only flee, and if it dragged on, he would be the one to die.

With Lai Wu's strength, it was unlikely that they could have killed him too, right?

After all, the Moon Holding Sect only had two people on this trip.

As he pondered this, he felt an urgent need to return.

Putting aside everything else, at the very least, he needed to find out what had happened to Lavur Island. If the people were gone, what about the island? Were the resources he had hidden away still safe? He had to go and take a look.

Just a quick glance!

The battle was fierce, but with his strength, it wouldn't take long to go there and back.

Furthermore, with so many people here, he wasn't required to stay every moment.

So...

He took a deep breath and decided to go for it!

His hometown was gone, and he couldn't even indulge himself for a bit?

With this thought, he could no longer suppress the desires in his heart.

"Alliance Leader!"

He contacted the leader of the Fairy Isle Alliance through divine sense, "My Lavur Island has arrived nearby, and I must go and see for myself. Otherwise, with a confused mind and no heart for battle, I fear that..."

"!"

The leader of the Fairy Isle Alliance furrowed his brows, "Go and return quickly."

He didn't stop the Lavur Island Lord.

Putting himself in the other's shoes, who would feel comfortable encountering such a disastrous situation?

Without clarity, no one would feel at ease, and forcing a blockade would only cause more resentment.

It was better to resolve the issue first and then focus on the battle.

With this thought, he added, "Go alone, and if there's a trap, it might be troublesome. Take two more people with you, but ensure a quick trip to avoid disrupting the battle."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader."

The Lavur Island Lord was overjoyed.

He had worried about this, but he couldn't put his mind at ease, so he decided to take the risk and go see for himself.

But now that the Alliance Leader was willing to send people with him, there was nothing to worry about.

Let's go!

...

"Let's go Photoshop),

A group of five left the battlefield.

Some tried to stop them, but other overseas experts stepped forward to block them, allowing them to leave safely.

Following his senses, the Lavur Island Lord led the way.

Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately stopped using the Octuple Mirror Technique and instructed Wen Ruyan to use the Thousand Transformations Technique, turning them into insignificant pebbles that scattered onto Lai Wu's back.

As for the Golden Table and Chairs, they had already been decomposed into elements and scattered.

...

Before long, the Lavur Island Lord and his group arrived.

Seeing the miniature version of Lavur Island in ruins, the Lavur Island Lord's eyes turned red instantly.

The few powerful cultivators who followed him also frowned slightly.

"..., accept my condolences."

For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

But the vast Lavur Island had been completely wiped out, not even a single hair was left, and everything had been thoroughly looted...

"But why did your Lavur Island suffer such a fate?"

"Could it be that you offended someone?"

The Lavur Island Lord's face changed slightly.

Offend someone?

Of course, they had offended someone.

However, the reason for this was a secret they couldn't reveal.

It was Lavur Island's 'little secret'.

They hadn't reported that path, and they had planned to use it to gain an advantage for themselves, but they never expected that not only did they fail to gain an advantage, but the enemy used that path to counterattack, ultimately leading to the destruction of the entire Lavur Island...

If this matter were made public, he would become a laughingstock among all the apex cultivators overseas.

He absolutely couldn't reveal this!

"Your words are somewhat amusing," he said, frowning. "We're all cultivators who have lived for countless millennia, and you're still so naive?"

"On the path of cultivation, who doesn't have enemies everywhere?"

"My Lavur Island was just unlucky, and our enemies seized the opportunity when the island was vulnerable and struck this deadly blow."

"Wait and see how I'll take revenge after this battle, how I'll make them unable to live or die!"

After saying this, he turned to Lai Wu, "You let them escape? What use are you then?!"

"I've been offering you human flesh and blood food all these years, and this is how you repay me?"

"???"

Lai Wu had been following Lu Ming's instructions and remained silent.

But upon hearing these words, he suddenly became enraged.

"You little punk, who do you think you are to speak to me like that?"

At this moment, despite his small stature, Lai Wu's temper was as fierce as ever, and his words were like an eighteen-level storm, almost blowing the Lavur Island Lord and the others away.

"Don't forget, I'm the master, and you're just my servant!"

"Are you seeking death?"

"..."

The Lavur Island Lord calmly took a deep breath, "Forgive me, Ancestor, I did this on purpose to test your authenticity, and it seems you are the real deal.

Lai Wu: "???"

"No way!"

"The old man needs blood food now!"

He roared, "You woke me up halfway, and I was already not happy. That boy’s strength is terrifying. If it weren’t for my thick skin and fast speed, I would have been killed by him long ago, without even a chance to escape."

"Even so, I’m injured, and my anger hasn’t subsided."

"Boy, let me tell you, if you don’t give me enough blood food, I won’t agree to let you rebuild the island on my back again!"

"…?!"

Zhou Shengchen, the Island Lord of Lai Wu, furrowed his brows.

He had forgotten about this.

He couldn’t help but look at the few people around him, "Fellow Daoists, please don’t spread this matter."

Everyone looked at him deeply, their expressions extremely strange.

Good grief! Everyone thought that Zhou Shengchen had subdued Lai Wu, but they never expected this kind of relationship. Even more shockingly, Zhou Shengchen had gained his current status and position by selling fellow cultivators to Lai Wu to devour?

This is...

Quite astonishing!

This was undoubtedly a major piece of news.

If it spread, Zhou Shengchen would lose all his dignity and be despised by others. So, his request was understandable.

However...

"Cough."

One after another, they spoke, "Don’t worry, we won’t spread it."

"Everyone has secrets, we understand."

"Yes, we understand, but you should be more low-key. Don’t let everyone know."

"We’re not the type to spread rumors, but you should be careful. If someone with ill intentions uses this, even if you don’t suffer irreparable damage, your reputation will be completely ruined."

"Of course, of course." Zhou Shengchen responded quickly.

But he was inwardly indignant.

My reputation is ruined?

Do you think you’re any better?

Pfft!

Who, in this position, doesn’t have some dark past? It’s just that I haven’t found your dirty secrets yet. Otherwise, would you be lecturing me here?

And you claim you’re not the type to spread rumors or keep secrets? I don’t believe a word of it!

You all act so righteous and good, but in fact, you’re hinting that I should give you something, or else you’ll spread the news.

You’re clearly threatening me.

Zhou Shengchen smiled and agreed quickly on the surface, but he was inwardly furious.

The others, though seemingly calm, were all sizing up Zhou Shengchen with their eyes.

Clearly, they didn’t say it out loud, but everyone was as clear as a mirror about what the others were thinking.

Apart from the five of them, there was one more person who understood their thoughts and intentions—Lu Ming.

"Interesting."

"I thought that bringing five Apices might not guarantee a one-hit kill, but it turns out their relationship isn’t that good, and each has their own agenda."

"This is a good opportunity."

"As long as I seize this opportunity, they will all die."

Lu Ming looked like a lifeless piece of broken stone, but in reality, his mind was active, and he could employ various means.

He planned to seize this opportunity and eliminate them all, preferably without letting any news leak out.

"It shouldn’t be difficult to seize this opportunity."

Lu Ming pondered, "Since one side is threatening to get benefits, and the other side is very dissatisfied, I can definitely exploit this."

"And they haven’t noticed me yet."

"As long as I seize the opportunity and make one side fall into a trap, they will naturally assume the other side did it and might start fighting."

"Moreover, fighting over such matters would be embarrassing for all of them, and they wouldn’t want to spread the details, so they are unlikely to spread the news voluntarily."

"Then, by finding the right moment to eliminate them all, it would be perfect!"

"So, the only problem now is how to make one side fall into a trap without being noticed."

"..."

Lu Ming fell into deep thought.

He had many means at his disposal.

But there seemed to be only two ways to make someone fall into a trap without physical contact or using 'spells.'

1. Microorganisms.

2. Pupil Techniques.

He hadn’t cultivated microorganisms, and although he could control the naturally occurring microorganisms around him, their strength was clearly insufficient to affect these Apices.

Pupil Techniques' illusions were powerful, but he was a stone now, with no 'eyes' to 'see who is pregnant.'

So...

Does this plan have to be abandoned?

Lu Ming was somewhat reluctant.

What a great opportunity! It would be too much of a waste to give up.

"Can others’ methods work?"

"Poison?"

"..., No, poison has a source, and Xiao Ling’er hasn’t studied poisons, so she can’t handle them."

"Other methods..."

"Wait!"

"Elemental Master?"

Lu Ming began to carefully consider the methods of Elemental Masters, especially Wang Teng’s recently researched 'Elemental Control.'

"To say it’s silent and omnipresent, various elements are definitely the most silent means. As long as I’m not too aggressive and don’t cause too much commotion, no one will notice."

"As for insufficient attack power and not being able to take them down... that’s not important."

"As long as they suspect the other side and start fighting, that’s enough."

"And I suddenly have a good idea."

"After all, ‘elements’ make up everything in the world."

"This might not be entirely accurate, but it’s close enough."

"And the human body, blood, are also composed of various ‘elements.’”

“

So...

I must have directly manipulated the blood within his body..."

"~!"

When he thought of it, he acted immediately. Lu Ming moved quietly, without anyone noticing the problem.

Of course, this was the result of Lu Ming deliberately holding back.

If the movement had been too large, these peak cultivators would have sensed it immediately, which would defy Lu Ming's intention.

Therefore, he could take his time.

Zhou Shengchen and the others were still conversing, seemingly a loving family. In reality, however, they were frequently turning dark.

They hadn't noticed anything abnormal.

But within their blood vessels, those ‘insignificant’ elements had already begun to change.

In some critical areas, ‘blood clots’ had started to form.

Before this, in the world of cultivation, the Immortal Martial Continent, there had been no ‘blood clots,’ no myocardial infarction, no cerebral strokes, Lu Ming didn’t know about these things.

But now, they have come to be!

And they are inside the bodies of apex cultivators!

As they talked, they faintly sensed something was wrong.

One suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Another experienced chest pain.

Yet another had a sudden heaviness in their head, shaking their head did nothing to improve the condition, even their vision had become blurry, distorting what they saw, as if they had fallen under an illusion.

"Uh?!"

This person suddenly came to their senses, angrily saying, "An illusion?!"

"Zhou Chengxian, is it you?!"

He glared at Zou Shengchen, his first reaction being that he himself had fallen under an illusion, and the one who made the move must be Zou Shengchen, who wanted to kill and silence!

"What?"

Zhou Chengxian, his face blank, "What's wrong with me?"

He was truly confused.

What did I do?

I did nothing!

And yet, an illusion?

Who would have thought that I, Zhen Chengxian, took the path of a rugged warrior, the most basic illusion I actually know a few, but you all are at the apex! My level of illusion mastery, can I still deal with you?

He was astonished and speechless, "To frame a crime, what need for words?!"

"Moreover, even if you want to frame me, force me to give benefits, can't you find a better reason? And illusions, chest pain, dizziness, hallucinations...?"

"Is this reasonable?"

"Who would have thought that I, Zhen Chengxian, only know a single trick?"

"For benefits, you even discarded your dignity?!"

Four people: "…"

"Huh, I didn’t fall under the illusion!"

Someone spat out a blood clot.

"But I found that in all my vital organs, there were blood clots, almost blocking all my organs. No wonder I felt severe chest and abdominal pain."

"Zhou Chengxian, what do you have to say about this?!"

"Blood clots?!"

After that person who had been boasting about the illusion earlier, upon closer inspection, he found the clue: "Yes, the blood vessels in my brain are also blocked, some even ruptured!"

"No wonder I experienced dizziness, brain fog, and hallucinations, this is clearly the same method!"

"Zhou Chengxian, what else do you have to say?!"

"Me too, but I have blood clots all over my body!"

"I... I have them on every major organ, Zhen Chengxian, you've gone too far!"

"What else do you have to say?!"

"Great! Zhen Chengxian, it seems you want to frame us, provoke us, find trouble, but now it’s clear that you were the one who made the move!"

"Yes, you are a rugged warrior, but your bodily and spiritual energy power at the peak is rare, and your manipulation of vital energy is already beyond imagination. What else do you have to say?!"

"!!!"

Zhen Chengxian was flabbergasted.

Fck, what’s going on?!

He was very clear that this had absolutely nothing to do with him.

But they, one by one, spoke with certainty, each even spitting out blood clots, or even forcing their own cranium to expel blood clots, yet they were not acting on a whim.

This...

Was it they themselves who did this, wanting to frame themselves, force themselves into giving benefits, or was there someone secretly acting against them?

He instantly extended his divine sense, fully exerting it to investigate the surroundings, but didn’t detect a trace of anyone else’s presence.

"So, it was indeed their deliberate action, to force me to give benefits?"

"Whether openly, subtly, I won’t give it, so you use this method to forcefully take it?!"

This is simply...

Unthinkable!

Angerished!

But Zhen Chengxian didn’t rush to act, considering he was alone, while they were four. If a real fight broke out, he wouldn’t fare well either only dying in the process.

When the time came for them to speak in unison, saying they suddenly erupted in a fight... even if they ended up killing no one would take responsibility, only admitting to bad luck, dying without understanding.

So, he could only think of a way to counter the move.

Pissed off! He took a deep breath, "Still that phrase, to frame a crime, what need for words?"

"Did you say it was me?"

"Alright, I can swear to the Heavenly Dao..."

"Ah!!!"

The words hadn’t finished.

Suddenly, Zou Shengchen let out a loud scream, coughing up a large mouthful of blood: "Fck, someone poisoned!!!"

"Damn, what kind of people did you bring here?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Aren’t you going to make a move yet?"

"You should die!"

Zou Shengchen roared: "Even if I don’t know who made the first move, I’ll give you all a piece of my mind! Fck!"

It suddenly grew large, though not as enormous as before, but it became a 'giant,' and with a single claw, it seemed like a mountain falling.

"?!"

The four people who came to help were momentarily stunned.

Fck! We all fell for it! It turned out to be you fcking with us in your mouth, didn’t it?

Don’t you have any shame?!

They all felt that Zou and Zhen Chengxian were in cahoots, just looking for a reason to make a move.
