The demon-masked woman showed a sliver of killing intent, and said, “With just you? You don’t know your place. Even if I just stand here, you won’t be able to touch me!”
“Left Messenger please have mercy, have mercy.”
Tian Yu quickly stepped up to protect his beloved disciple, “He doesn’t really want to kill you. The Heart Devouring Bugs that I asked you for were all fed to him, I still need to raise him so I can swallow him later on.”
Has he said that, his heart burned, was that the strength of someone at the Heavenly Path? A Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal had no way of fighting back.
The Left Messenger coldly said, “Ah, ask him to get lost!”
“Don’t worry, I will send him away right now!”
Tian Yu hurriedly placed Ye Shuanghan deep into the cave, and impatiently returned, saying, “As for what you were talking about just now…”
The Left Messenger calmly said, “Take out your Qi Swallowing Bug.”
Tian Yu hesitated, saying, “That…”
The Left Messenger’s tone froze, “What? I gave you the Heart Devouring Bugs, and I gave you the Qi Swallowing Bugs as well, do you think I wouldn’t be able to take it back by force?”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Tian Yu frantically shook his head, and raised his hand. That little bug that only had a mouth on its face that was full of teeth appeared on his hand.
“Not bad, the little bug has grown by so much.”
The Left Messenger smiled coldly, “Shut your eyes, I’ll teach you a a way to perceive it.”
Tian Yu immediately obeyed.
As his mana flowed, his body froze, opening a door to a new world.
At that time, he felt like he had entered the body of another person.
Then, he noticed that everyone in that group of people had a bug on them, and he even seemed to be able to control those bugs, turning up smaller or larger, even making them jump.
“Left Messenger, this is…”
Tian Yu looked at the Left Messenger with his eyes widened.
“Those are all children of the Qi Devouring Bug, they can transfer the Qi they gathered to the mother.”
The Left Messenger paused, continuing, “According to reliable information, the Xia Kingdom has two treasures that preserve their Luck. One is a piece of calligraphy, and the other is a sword. Currently, my bugs have controlled the officials of the kingdom. We only need them to get close to those treasures, and you will naturally be able to absorb all the Luck!”
Tian Yu’s eyes shone, “Thank you, Left Messenger! In the future, I will be willing to do anything for you, and listen to any order!”
That concerned him being able to break through to a different realm, he was naturally extremely happy.
The Qi Swallowing Bug swallowed Luck, and refined it into the dao!
He first planted the Heart Swallowing Bug into his own disciple, Ye Shuanghan, and the bug would devour Ye Shuanghan’s dao for Tian Yu’s own use. However, it was too imperious, which was why he needed to devour Luck to counteract it.
If the plan went well, if no accidents happened, he would quickly be able to step into the Heavenly Path Realm that he had dreamed of!
Tian Yu looked over at Ye Shuanghan deep in the gave, licking his own lips, ‘My lovely disciple, wait for me!’
The Left Messenger urged, “Quickly set the plan in motion.”
She was already impatient, since the Human Sovereign did not die, so they had to take the Luck directly. No matter what, if the Luck disappears, the realm would be thrown into chaos, and the Ministry would be able to take advantage of it.
“Don’t worry, Left Messenger, I will get to absorbing it.”
Tian Yu sat down cross legged, his mana flowing out as his energy flowed.
At the same time, in the Xia Kingdom, the morning assembly had just ended, and the ministers were just leaving the place, heading back to their wives.
Suddenly, a few of the ministers froze, their eyes going into a daze as their faces showed signs of struggle.
Quickly, the struggle disappeared. They could not stop it, and ended up falling flat.
Those people were no ordinary ministers, and were very capable. They shouldered quite a bit of the Xia Kingdom’s fortunes by themselves.
At that moment, all of them were no longer heading for their wives, and they all headed towards a secret room at the deepest parts of the Xia Kingdom.
Since they had been thrown into chaos not long ago, and finally regained some peace, the guards were a little more lax. Thanks to their high positions, and with them coming in as a group, they were naturally unimpeded on their journey. Entering the secret room, they found a basement and headed straight underground.
“Hahaha, I’m there, I’m almost there.”
In the cave, Tian Yu was elated, and would constantly laugh in a strange manner. His entire body shivered, very obviously impatient.
“I see it! Ah, how bright, it hurts my eyes!”
He shouted in a low voice, he could see through the bugs as well.
It was an incredibly big underground location.
It was impossible to call it a room anymore, it was an empty plaza. All of it was because there was way too much Luck. If there was not enough space… it would leak out.
The density had even turned into a golden dragon, and was proudly flying around the plaza.
In the middle of the plaza was the calligraphy that Li Nianfan had given before. On it was written, ‘Man Can Conquer Nature’. There was also the sword, it was the first sword that Li Nianfan had made for the Xia Kingdom.
“Man can conquer nature? Let me see how you do that!”
A satisfied laugh came from Tian Yu’s mouth. There was much more Luck there than he had expected, he would have a good time absorbing it.
“Next, it’s time for me to eat my fill.”
The ministers moved forward, and all of them touched those two treasures.
“Absorb, absorb it now!”
Tian Yu shouted in his heart, he was so focused on it that even his mouth trembled.
Yet, after a long while, there was no reaction at all, he could not absorb anything.
‘What?’
‘This force is quite strong.’
Tian Yu was forced to use more strength, ‘I will absorb it!’
However, it was a wasted effort again. It was fine if he merely failed, but he seemed to have been completely ignored, he could not feel anything at all.
Anyone would feel humiliated in that position.
‘This is wrong, a situation like this shouldn’t be happening with my abilities.’
‘Am I doing it with the wrong posture?’
‘He immediately corrected the postures of the officials and continued again.’
‘This time, there was finally a reaction.’
He felt the exhilarating feeling of Luck exiting his body, and Tian Yu could not help but let out an elated cry.
His effort had paid off.
‘Wait.’
‘This is wrong!’
‘Why is it exiting my body?!’
“This is bad, the Luck is poisoned!”
Tian Yu rapidly paled, he never expected that he would not only fail to absorb it, but he would be absorbed himself.
His foe was strong, and already set precautions!
He opened his eyes, and looked at the bug in his hand shooting out Luck. His face went green with worry.
He was decisive, and immediately cut off his connection with the smaller bugs, but it was useless, the Qi Swallowing Bug was still outwardly spitting, and did nto stop at all.
“Why is it like this? How could this be happening?!”
Tian Yu trembled, his face pale and he was even about to cry, “Stop it, stop spitting it out, please stop! You’ll cripple yourself, who can stop this!”
All that luck, he had tried so hard to accumulate all that Luck, and suffered so much for it. He had gone to so many worlds for it, and used so many tricks for it to grow to this degree.
It was already about to mature, but who would have expected such an unbelievable twist?
His eyes reddened as he frantically looked at the Left Messenger, “Left Messenger, why did this happen?”
The Left Messenger furrowed her eyebrows, “Those two treasures are really strange. You actually couldn’t absorb them, this is unexpected.”
Tian Yu urged, “Left Messenger, if you delay anymore, it will all run dry. Didn’t you say there was still a third and forth plan? Quickly tell me!”
The Left Messenger’s eyes glinted, coldly saying, “Are you trying to teach me what to do?”
Tian Yu was sullen, and could not help but exclaim, “I wouldn’t dare. Only, Left Messenger, shouldn’t you give me an explanation of this situation?”
“I, the Left Messenger of the Ministry, have always done what I want, why would I need to explain myself to you?!”
The Left Messenger exploded angrily, unleashing her energy, shaking Tian Yu, rendering him unable to speak.
Her body started to sway, and she turned into black mist, “I still have things to handle, you should take care of matters yourself.”
“Left Messenger? Left Messenger!” Tian Yu stood alone in the cave, panicking.
In just that short amount of time, the large worm had shrunken a lot, if it continued, it would dry up soon.
Tian Yu could not help but cry out in anguish, “I beg you, stop absorbing it, I can’t take it anymore!”
…
In Xia Kingdom’s courtyard, Li Nianfan sent Shi Ye and the others out.
Turning around, and looking at the empty table, he could not help but remark, “Wow, I never expected that, the higher one cultivated, the more prudent they would be. They even brought away the tangerine skins.”
Outside the courtyard.
Shi Ye quickly caught up to Cultivator Yunqiu, his face serious, “Friend, you should be generous. We all have a part in this, split half of the tangerine skins with me!”
Yunqiu continued walking briskly, as if he did not hear anything.
Suddenly, he ran his fingers across his moustache, raising his hands and calculating something with his fingers.
Suddenly, his expression changed dramatically, exclaiming, “Not good, there’s an emergency summons from the sect, I need to hurry back. Everyone, good bye, I will take my leave!”
As he spoke, he had already disappeared into the distance by the time he finished.
