Chapter 142: Chapter 104: Lin Zhuo’s Emperor’s Tool
This way, he could have restricted Qin Ruyue from targeting him.
With experts from Starlight City’s government present, even if he revealed himself, Qin Ruyue wouldn’t dare make a reckless move.
Otherwise, the moment his identity was revealed, Qin Ruyue wouldn’t be able to obtain the Rule Deceit Embryo.
However, reality did not unfold as Shi Mi had predicted and planned.
After learning of the Rule Deceit Embryo’s existence, the Evil Blood Sect had shown absolutely no reaction!
’What the hell!’
’Could this bunch from the Evil Blood Sect be a pack of fake Bizarre?’
’Do they not understand the value of a Rule Deceit Embryo!?’
The Moon Purifying Gu would erupt in less than two days.
Faced with the Evil Blood Sect’s continued inaction, Shi Mi gave up on the idea of continuing his disguise as a small vendor in Liu Nan Lane.
Continuing to pose as a vendor in the Lower City District, serving those lowly Adventurers and even ordinary people who weren’t Guardian Beast Masters.
It was driving Shi Mi, a Mythical Tier Bizarre, to the brink of madness!
’Right now, Qin Ruyao must not have pinpointed my location with her Night-Cutting Spider yet.’
The spawn of the Night-Cutting Spider didn’t primarily rely on sight or hearing to search.
Instead, much like canines, they hunted him specifically after memorizing the scent of his spirit and soul.
Although they didn’t rely on sight or hearing when searching for a specific target,
the Night-Cutting Spider’s spawn had vision and hearing no different from that of normal insects.
The swarm of spawn was adept at gathering intelligence and tracking targets.
Shi Mi was confident that if he wanted to, he could hide from Qin Ruyao forever.
But the Moon Purifying Gu wouldn’t give him the chance to hide indefinitely. He couldn’t stay in the Lower City District any longer.
If the Moon Purifying Gu were to erupt, his location in the Lower City District would be instantly pinpointed by Qin Ruyao.
The Evil Blood Sect’s continued absence made it clear they were unwilling to cooperate with him to cause a commotion in the Lower City District and lure out Starlight City’s powerful figures.
’Fine, then I’ll be the one to throw the Lower City District into chaos and sneak off to the Upper City District.’
The instant he revealed himself and caused a stir in the Lower City District, Qin Ruyao would immediately lock onto his position.
But Shi Mi was out of options. He could only bet that Qin Ruyao wasn’t nearby.
Perhaps if the spawn released by Qin Ruyao’s Deceit Beast, the Night-Cutting Spider, began to move on a massive scale, that too would attract the attention of Starlight City’s authorities.
If the swarm of spawn from the Night-Cutting Spider mobilized on a massive scale and Starlight City’s authorities remained oblivious...
...then the official organizations of Starlight City were just pathetic!
But by personally entering the fray and stirring the tranquil waters of Starlight City...
...he would not only lose the Rule Deceit Embryo, but he might not even make it out of Starlight City alive.
After these last few days of hiding like a rat, Shi Mi’s hatred for Qin Ruyao had reached its zenith.
Once the Moon Purifying Gu erupted, not only would he be unable to keep the Rule Deceit Embryo, but he would also be branded a traitor and hunted down by every Moon Judge in the Purifying Moon Sect.
Even if he managed to escape Starlight City, a grim fate awaited him.
Now, Shi Mi had changed his mind. He was no longer seeking an opportunity for himself.
He wanted to drag Qin Ruyao—this woman poised to become the Purifying Moon Sect’s next "Moon Listener"—down with him.
’If you want me, Shi Mi, to die, then you, Qin Ruyao, can forget about living!’
In Liu Nan Lane, a relatively prosperous alley within the Lower City District, a gateway suddenly appeared, resembling a Secret Realm Entrance.
But compared to a Secret Realm Entrance, the Energy contained within this gateway was unstable.
Moreover, its Energy level was far less potent than that of a Secret Realm Entrance.
The distinction was like that between a normal Guardian Beast Master’s Lifebound Guardian Beast and a Celestial Destiny Seeker’s Order Beast.
Yet, from this gateway, which stood over two meters tall, dozens of White Bone Centipedes burst forth.
These White Bone Centipedes closely resembled the White Bone Long Tail that formed the gateway itself.
The bodies of the White Bone Centipedes streamed out of the gateway without end. They stretched for tens of thousands of meters, yet never seemed to fully emerge.
Each seemingly endless White Bone Centipede bored into one residence after another,
unleashing a brutal and inhumane slaughter throughout Liu Nan Lane.
Vendors, weary from a long day’s work, were "passionately" embraced by these White Bone Centipedes as they slept.
In less than twenty seconds, their skeletons would be gouged out and devoured by the endless body of the White Bone Centipede,
leaving behind only a mangled heap of flesh and blood, unable to support its own weight.
The moment this gateway opened, all the black, crystalline spiders crawling in the shadows of Starlight City seemed to find their bearings, swarming toward Liu Nan Lane in the Lower City District like a tidal wave.
Shi Mi noticed this but did not order the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess to stop its assault or end the slaughter.
As a Bone Element Bizarre, the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess had been hiding in Liu Nan Lane for over a week and desperately needed to feed to replenish its depleted Energy.
Besides, the more horrific the impact, the more forces the Starlight City authorities would dispatch to put an end to this vicious incident.
Unlike Qin Ruyao, who had joined the Purifying Moon Sect only after ascending to the Fantasy Tier,
Shi Mi had become a member of the Purifying Moon Sect not long after first becoming a Bizarre.
Logically, Shi Mi should have become a more central member of the Purifying Moon Sect than Qin Ruyue.
Even if he couldn’t completely outshine Qin Ruyue, his seniority alone should have prevented her from lording it over him.
However, the more powerful a Bizarre faction, the more it values the innate talent of its members.
Among the four elements of Guardian Beasts, a Deceit Element Bizarre was considered superior to a Curse Element Bizarre by Bizarre factions.
