Chapter 342: It Was You Who Misunderstood

"What is that sound outside?"

Just at this moment, Shen Yu suddenly heard waves of intermittent screams coming from outside, and he could not help but knit his brows slightly.

"It is nothing; those are the sounds of my lovely disciples being sacrificed, using the blood of everyone on Wuqiu Mountain to make up for my deficits over these years."

"What lovely disciples they are, sacrificing themselves to fulfill me!"

Wu Su's voice came from outside next, sounding even more vigorous than before; clearly, she had recovered quite a bit.

"Although it can only make up for a little, it is better than nothing, and it is absolutely incomparable to how delicious you are, Shen Yu!"

"Sect Leader, they are all disciples of my Wuqiu Mountain, you, how could you..."

"What disciples? They are nothing more than medicine I have raised. Now, before I devour Shen Yu, I need to solidify myself and need to drink medicine, so of course, I must harvest them all."

"You, you..."

"You really are insane. Actually, I have one more question I want to ask you!" Struggling to stand up, Shen Yu looked through a gap and saw Wu Su standing outside.

"The one I saw when I first arrived, the old monster you were dealing with inside the Great Array earlier, that must have been created by you, right?"

"That is correct. That was just a Puppet of mine, meant only to lure you here. There was no other way; to deal with a genius like you, I had to make two preparations!"

Speaking of this, Wu Su was still somewhat smug. She was a person from the previous era, and only managed to rank among these old monsters during the Spiritual Qi Surge of that era.

Therefore, her own strength was at the bottom among these old monsters, but she was also the craziest.

Slaughtering cities and killing people were just basic operations; in order to make herself strong, she would stop at nothing.

She could even devour the partner she spent every day with. When they were discussing how to deal with those old monsters and had resolved to die together, she stabbed them in the back without hesitation.

She devoured the geniuses of those eras one by one, using this to achieve her own cultivation, allowing herself to break through and rank among the old monsters.

She dared to gamble, and she did indeed win back then. Therefore, when the Spiritual Qi Surge happened over a hundred years ago, she made sure to wake up at the very first moment of the spiritual growth, becoming the first person to awaken.

Only in this way could she obtain greater benefits, and only in this way would she not be at the bottom and have the qualifications to fight for her own life.

Of course, a hundred years ago, she was also the first one to be finished off by Mu Zishan. If not for her having the Twin Secret Technique, she might have died back then.

But she survived that year, and no matter how she survived under Mu Zishan's hands, this was her pride.

Afterwards, when she learned that a genius like Shen Yu had appeared, she had already begun to prepare.

Now, she had lured Shen Yu here, clearly gambling once more, and this time she had succeeded again. Once she devoured such a genius, her future would be limitless.

Thinking of this, Wu Su glanced at the lovely personal disciple she had completely imprisoned beside her, a look of slight disdain in her eyes.

"My first preparation was naturally to have my carefully cultivated good disciple offer herself to you. Her body is special; in the beginning, not only will she not plunder your essence, but she will also balance yin and yang, allowing you to receive great benefits!"

"And I know the charm of my little disciple; normally, if she throws herself at someone, no one would be able to resist."

"A wisp of my consciousness is attached to her, and at any time, it will feed back to me the benefits she obtains from you."

"Lust is a bone-scraping knife, true in ancient times and today. By the time you sink into it unknowingly and react, it will be far too late."

"But what I did not expect was that you actually refused. I even suspected whether you did not like women. You people are truly hard to fathom."

"So that's it!" No wonder Wu Su had that kind of look when she first saw him, even carrying a caring pity; it turns out she thought there was something wrong with him.

You are the one with the problem, your whole family has a problem. That wasn't me not wanting to, that was me not daring to!

"No wonder I couldn't pry into her memories or penetrate her Spiritual Sea. No wonder the person who came to seek help from Wuqiu Mountain arrived at such a timely moment; so that was it!"

"Since the Beauty Trap didn't work, I could only use the second method. People like you pride yourselves on justice and claim to be the guardians of the world; upon hearing that an old monster has appeared, you will definitely go to intercept and kill them at the first opportunity!"

"Therefore, I bet you would definitely come, and clearly, I won the bet again!"

Speaking of this, there was clearly a bit more wariness on Wu Su's face as she looked at Shen Yu through the gap.

"I had already imagined you to be strong enough, but I did not expect you to be this strong."

"That Puppet of mine had at least nearly half the strength of my current self, yet it was killed by you in a single exchange."

"You tell me, besides finding ways to scheme against you, what else can I do? Should I fight you one-on-one?"

While speaking, Wu Su looked at Shen Yu, "Calculating the time, you should be unable to hold on anymore. Why are you still not dead? Why are you still stubbornly holding on!"

Talking nonsense with Shen Yu like this was nothing more than wanting to distract his attention so he could not break her Mechanism with full force.

Although Wu Su had confidence in her arrangements, such favored Heavenly Prides were sometimes just unreasonable; she had heard of too many cases of capsizing in the gutter.

Before truly obtaining it, one must be careful and more careful!

But now, she really could not wait; this process of making herself wait was truly too agonizing!

"Do you really think you have won?"

Raising his head, the body that had originally expanded to a certain degree on Shen Yu quickly shrank back, returning to its previous appearance.

As early as before, Shen Yu had sensed that something was wrong; on the entire Wuqiu Mountain, only Wu Su and her disciple Su Ningxue had a Spiritual Sea he could not penetrate.

Moreover, the previous failure to "sign in" proved that the one he killed was not the real target, so where had the real target gone? All of this made him feel suspicious, so he had kept an eye out early on.

However, if Wu Su really had a problem, splitting a clone in front of her would definitely be noticed by her. At that time, even if she really had a problem, she would definitely hide it deeply and not dare to expose it.

Therefore, Shen Yu decided to play along first, finding an opportunity to split off a clone, letting his true self hide in case of any unexpected events.

It was just that before he could find this opportunity, he had fallen into the trap.

Fortunately, he had not drunk that Morning Dew Drink, throwing it directly into his storage space, leaving only a tiny wisp to enter his mouth, which he wrapped in his internal spirit fire to evaporate at any time.

Otherwise, if someone asked about this Morning Dew Drink, and he hadn't touched it at all, he wouldn't know how to describe it.

Plus, he had the Seven-Colored Star Butterfly in hand, so he didn't have to fear any poison in the world; he thought it was foolproof, but who would have thought he would still be schemed against. This thing was actually not a poison, but a tonic.

In the end, it was because he was too confident; he hadn't stumbled much, which gave him a mysterious sense of confidence. It was as if as long as he appeared, there was nothing he couldn't solve.

Right from the start, regardless of right or wrong, he should have just pinned the person down according to his suspicions and been done with it, instead of playing these games of playing along.

This time, let it be a lesson; a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.

Fortunately, he only drank a tiny bit of the Morning Dew Drink, so the expansion was limited, and it recovered after a short while. From beginning to end, it didn't really affect him much.

Taking advantage of this time, he was just using the opportunity to observe the surrounding Runes and Mechanisms while speaking a bunch of meaningless nonsense to Wu Su.

It was just to prevent Wu Su from noticing anything and running away before he broke the Mechanism.

Now that he had finally made her reveal her true colors, if he let her run away, wouldn't his efforts have been in vain? Could he let his own efforts be in vain!
