Chapter 24: System Initiates Counterattack Mode, Capturing and Devouring Now!

At this moment, they had already arrived at the Alchemy Inheritance, which was the legacy estate of Venerable Luoyun.

The surrounding powerhouses were as numerous as clouds, most of whom had come for this inheritance.

No one expected that Mo Tianming would suddenly go mad in this place.

By the time Mo Tianming heard the warning from the Long Aotian system, it was already too late; all the talisman papers in his hands were scattered about like flowers falling from the heavens, fluttering wildly through the air.

The talisman papers, swift as the wind, flew toward Lu Ren's face; in just an instant, he could distinguish dozens of powerful attack-type talismans among them.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not know what Mo Tianming's golden finger was, but these talisman papers did not look like something he could have drawn himself, or perhaps there was a grandmaster of talisman arts behind him? Various thoughts flashed rapidly through Lu Ren's mind; he raised his hand, his fingertips forming a seal, and an Array Disk suddenly rose from beneath their feet, moving so fast that ordinary people could not even catch a glimpse of it.

Those with a discerning eye in the surroundings recognized the true nature of this Array Disk almost instantly and could not help but blurt it out.

"Snow-Refined Black Lock Array!"

"Using frost and snow as a lure, with a thousand black locks as the binding, it transforms into a canopy that covers the sky and sun, protecting those within the array! It is undoubtedly a seventh-tier Array Disk!"

"This is even a modified array, terrifyingly powerful; where did Lu Ren abduct such a master of arrays from?"

"Where from? Don't you know that Lu Ren himself is a genius in the field of arrays?"

"Truly, comparing people to one another is enough to infuriate someone..."

Countless talisman papers transformed into attacks with immense impact, falling like snowflakes covering the sky and earth, charging straight at the Snow-Refined Black Lock Array, but in an instant, countless black locks soared into the air, surrounding the three of them, emitting clanging sounds and even sending sparks flying everywhere.

Mo Tianming's face turned pale, clearly not having expected that his talisman paper attack would have no effect at all.

There were seventh-tier and even eighth-tier talisman papers in there! How could this be!

Even a swarm of ants can kill an elephant! Is Lu Ren a monster? Why could so many overwhelming talisman papers not even break a mere seventh-tier array?

The people nearby watched from afar and could not help but exclaim in admiration, not at all surprised by this result.

"As expected of Lu Ren; it was known long ago that he was extremely outstanding in the way of arrays, and even after reuniting after so many years, he has not regressed in the slightest. To resist an eighth-tier force with seventh-tier power, impressive!"

"Who is this brat? He doesn't look like much, yet he has so many treasures on him."

"Could he be the next Lu Ren?"

"Between Lu Ren and this brat, who will come out on top?"

The answer to this question was known to everyone almost as soon as it was asked.

The second the array and the talisman papers dissipated, they were immediately put away; a black shadow swooped forward, and with a loud bang accompanied by Mo Tianming's scream, his head was slammed heavily onto the ground!

A furry hand pressed down hard on his skull, and the baleful energy in Mo Tianming's heart poured out, "Ahhh!!! Let go, get lost!"

The posture of kneeling was so humiliating that he wanted to go mad, but the Zhuyan Fierce Beast above his head would not allow him to lift his head at all.

In his peripheral vision, Mo Tianming could only see a pair of long boots embroidered with silver-white flowing cloud patterns walk up to him.

Ever since he learned of Lu Ren's existence, he had been silently investigating everything about him, so he naturally knew that the flowing cloud pattern was the seal of the Lu Family crest.

"Let go!" he roared with a hoarse voice, "Lu Ren, if you are still a man, then fight me for real with blades and spears, suppress your cultivation to my level, and don't use your status to oppress others!"

At these words, there was endless laughter from the surroundings, and more or less, endless mockery and disdain.

"What a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth; if it were me, I would have already been weeping and begging for mercy."

"His life is in the hands of the Lu Family Head, yet he still has the face to talk about real blades and spears, ha! It's hilarious!" Lu Ren kicked Mo Tianming's hand, which was pressed against the ground, casually.

A few yellow talisman papers leaked out.

Lu Daocheng fully utilized the results of his recent studies; with a sprint, he reached out to snatch them, not forgetting to remove Mo Tianming's Storage Bag as well.

"Hand it over!"

He pried open Mo Tianming's hand and presented the talisman papers to Lu Ren, his face full of joy, "Family Head, the talisman papers he used just now must be these; they are all here!"

Lu Ren was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Lu Daoshuang, who was looking at the sky and the ground but dared not look at him; they were his own people after all, so he shook his head helplessly, not intending to hold her accountable for teaching someone to be like this.

A red rope twisted out from Lu Ren's wrist like a snake, binding the Mo Tianming on the ground tightly; Lu Daocheng was quick-witted and fast-handed, pulling out a spare sock from the Storage Bag and stuffing it into Mo Tianming's mouth.

This action... Lu Ren was silent for another moment.

He changed the subject and said indifferently, "Just right, you are still lacking someone to practice with; this Mo Tianming is just suitable."

Mo Tianming, who was still struggling and resisting, paused, his eyes widening in disbelief.

How did he know his name? And what practice? He was just about to speak, but suddenly discovered that the red rope on his body had dissolved at some point; he pulled the sock out of his mouth, overjoyed, and hurried to escape, but after taking two steps, his expression changed.

"Lu Ren! My cultivation, why has my cultivation become the first level of Qi Refining? What despicable means did you use?"

He hadn't even reached Body Tempering! How was he any different from an ordinary person? If he ran away, he would lose his life.

Lu Ren said to Lu Daocheng, "The Immortal-Binding Lock has already merged into his body; he cannot run without my incantation. This is just right to serve as your stepping stone; don't let me down."

Lu Daocheng felt a shiver in his heart and nodded his head rapidly, "I will certainly not fail the Family Head's high expectations!"

Mo Tianming was so angry he felt dizzy; he questioned and complained in his heart.

"System, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"I am the protagonist; have you ever seen a protagonist who is a prisoner? What exactly is going on with this Lu Ren?"

The Long Aotian system, a clone of the Heavenly Dao:...

It was furious.

【This system has already prevented the host from approaching Lu Ren!】

【Lu Ren is a Heavenly Mandate villain; it is normal for the host to suffer losses, so please do not be reckless!】

Mo Tianming was righteous and confident: "Then hurry up and think of a way; aren't you a system? Systems are omnipotent!"

The Long Aotian system, which was merely a clone of the Heavenly Dao and had disguised itself as a system based on the Blue Star literature in Mo Tianming's mind to gain his trust:...

It went silent directly, but feeling extremely unwilling, it gritted its teeth and extended an illusory tentacle.

Since Lu Ren had direct contact with its Child of Luck, it would not be impossible to bind Lu Ren as Mo Tianming's villain; at that time, it could use the protagonist's natural suppression of villains to help Mo Tianming escape! Just as that tentacle was about to touch Lu Ren, the Villain System, which had been silent all along, suddenly issued a warning.

【Alien energy intrusion detected!】

【System initiating counterattack mode, capturing and devouring now!】
