2599 Chapter 2,490: a Master of the Soul Dao
The cold tip of the blade stabbed out from his forehead, instantly destroying his life force and soul.
Leng Cangqiong didn’t even have time to think about what was going on before his mind went blank and he collapsed to the ground, completely dead.
Behind him, an underground dao master who had accompanied him for many years drew back his dao artifact and charged at his two companions.
The two dao masters were frightened out of their wits and cried out in shock, “Zuo Wei, what are you doing?”
“Hehe, nothing much. I just don’t want to suffer under that good-for-nothing Empress Starry Rain, so I’m looking for another branch.”Zuo Wei laughed coldly as he charged over.
The bald man gave a look and his group surrounded and attacked.
The two underground dao masters who trusted Leng Cangqiong persisted for a moment before completely dying.
After finishing everything, Zuo Wei took a step forward and said to the bald man, “Mission accomplished. May I know when I can return to the waning moon Empress’side?”
It turned out that he had already been bought over by the waning Moon Empress.
As the weakest descendant of the ruler of time, Empress Star Rain had a very low status.
It was not difficult to buy over her people.
If Shaohao could bribe one, then so could empress waning moon.
That was why empress waning moon knew exactly where they were going and sent her confidant to carry out this mission in secret.
According to the plan, they would first trick elder Xiao Mo and then kill them all.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Su Yu was extremely cunning and could not give them what they wanted.
On the other hand, the leader of the guards, Leng Cangqiong, thought highly of himself and led his two disciples to stay behind to die.
“Once we catch that Su Guy, I’ll immediately ask the Empress of the waning Moon for your merit,”said the Bald Man.
Zuo Wei chuckled. “Don’t worry, my Lord. They won’t be able to escape. That Flying Treasure has my secret imprint on it. No matter how far away it is, I’ll be able to find it.”
“Hahaha, that’s good. Let’s Go!”
Empress waning moon naturally wouldn’t allow Empress starry rain to successfully exchange for 500 contribution points.
Hence, they had to do everything they could to obtain this elder Howling Devil.
Everyone immediately chased after him.
Su Yu, on the other hand, piloted the flying treasure and sped away.
Before long, the Bald Man and the others successfully caught up.
Su Yu and the remaining guards saw that the situation wasn’t looking good and immediately gave up on the flying treasure, escaping separately.
The two of them chose different directions.
The Bald Man’s gaze jumped between the two of them as he said indifferently, “Chase after that human.”
Zuo Wei had already said that Su Yu was the person that Empress starry rain relied on the most.
Elder Xiao Mo was such an important person, he must have handed him over to Su Yu.
Furthermore, the bald man had indeed sensed the aura of that devil sect elder from Su Yu’s body.
Surrounded and blocked, Su Yu’s life was in danger.
His movement technique was far from being comparable to those tunnel masters. Even though he used many spatial magic treasures, he was still unable to completely shake them off.
Finally, after chasing for half a month, Su Yu finally gave up.
He took out elder Xiao Mo’s spatial storage device and threw it in another direction.
The bald man turned his body and flew over, grabbing him.
He scanned the area and found that it was indeed elder Xiao Mo..
He made up his mind. His mission was finally completed.
As for the few defeated soldiers who had escaped, it was best to kill them. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t kill them.
Looking at Su Yu who took the opportunity to escape without a trace, the bald man said, “Forget it. Let’s return to the city to collect the reward.”
The group of people had just left.
They went in a circle and came to an underground cave in an exceptionally secretive manner.
There were thousands of restrictions in the cave. If they were not careful, they might suffer the backlash of the restrictions and die without a burial place.
“Greetings, Empress!”The Bald Man and the others bowed to the underground cave.
Hua —
A blurry figure was projected into the underground cave.
Under the illumination of the bonfire, it swayed and looked extremely strange.
“Have you gotten the person?”
“Reporting to empress, we have successfully intercepted it.”The bald man looked into the underground cave.
There were a few white bones lying in it.
The respect in his heart grew stronger.
Those were the envoys sent by the ruler of time.
The Empress of the waning moon was audacious and extremely extreme. She even dared to do such a thing.
If it were to be leaked, it would be a disaster.
Therefore, they were even more respectful.
The bald man sent the spatial storage device up. The distorted figure waved her hand and summoned it over.
The bald man lowered his head, thinking about how the Empress would reward them.
Although the waning moon Empress was extreme in her actions, it had to be said that her rewards for meritorious officials were also extremely generous.
This time, they had intercepted elder Howling Devil. This was a great contribution and they did not know how much reward they would receive.
Sou —
However, the spatial storage device bounced back.
An indifferent voice drifted over, “Are you teasing me?”
The bald man was stunned. He subconsciously took the spatial storage device and scanned it.
However, it was empty inside. There was no elder Xiao Mo at all.
“Ah! How could this be? I clearly checked and elder Xiao Mo was inside.”The bald man had a feeling that time and space were in disorder.
Just now, he had checked in advance and confirmed that elder Xiao Mo was inside.
How could he lose him now?
“Please spare my life, Empress. We really intercepted him. We have no intention of fooling you.”The Bald Man’s face instantly turned pale as he kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy.
The waning moon empress said calmly, “I won’t allow anyone to fail. You guys…”
As she spoke, a gentle male voice drifted into the cave.
“Please calm down, Empress.”Another projection appeared and stood beside the waning Moon Empress. “It’s not that they are deceiving you, but they have met an expert.”
Only then did the crescent moon empress pause slightly. “Oh? Expert? How High?”
“Just like me, proficient in the essence of a soul domain where a single thought is the truth.”
Hearing this, the crescent moon Empress’projection shook violently.
Her indifferent voice became sharp because of this. “Are you serious?”
A soul domain was something that was unique to the ruler of the soul and his descendants.
How could an outsider possess it?
“Of course it’s real.”As soon as the male’s voice faded, ripples appeared above the bald man’s and the others’heads.
They didn’t have an hourglass before, but the hourglass appeared again.
The sand tokens in their arms also collapsed.
The biggest reason why they were able to deceive Leng Cangqiong and the others was because they had two identities.
In the end, they were all experts in the soul domain, and they used a single thought to make it real.
Now, with a single thought as a forgery, their true forms were revealed.
“That lowly girl, Queen Star Rain, actually has someone from your soul domain backing her up? This is truly inconceivable!”The crescent moon empress exclaimed in shock.
The gentle man pondered and said, “I find it strange as well. There are very few descendants of the ruler who can use a single thought as a truth, and I am one of them. I know the whereabouts of the others, but why did one of them suddenly appear?”
“Could it be that the descendant who usually hides very deeply has not been exposed?”
There was a moment of silence in the underground cave.
The waning moon empress frowned. “What a surprise. I thought that the most useless galaxy was actually the person who hides the most deeply. It seems that we have to take action.”
