Chapter 524: You, It's You!

"Shen Yu, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

At this moment, Lu Muyan seemed to be filled with boundless rage, and countless Black Beetles swarmed up with him, like a black tide wanting to drown everything.

Yet, even though Shen Yu was exhausted within the Great Array, he was still struggling desperately; he could not let these Black Beetles escape.

But human strength has its limits; after struggling for a long time, Shen Yu finally could not hold on, even the hand gripping his sword was trembling, as if he were near collapse.

"Lord Shen, keep going, you wouldn't be out of strength so soon, would you!"

Watching the seemingly teetering Shen Yu, Lu Muyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers moving lightly in silence.

Inside the Rune Great Array, several blood-colored beetles climbed onto Shen Yu's body at some unknown moment, slipping inside through the gaps in his clothes.

Suddenly, several sharp pains struck, causing Shen Yu's expression to change drastically. His defense, which far exceeded steel and iron, had actually been pierced.

Several blood-colored beetles had already lurked into his body; even though he mobilized his remaining strength to surround and intercept them, wanting to kill them directly, the result was even more surprising to him.

When his own power surged toward these blood-colored beetles, not only did it fail to have the intended effect, it actually seemed to be a great tonic for them.

These blood-colored beetles became increasingly rampant, and in the blink of an eye, they had already surged toward his mind.

"How is this possible, when exactly did this happen?"

"Success!" Shen Yu's change was caught in Lu Muyan's eyes, making him unable to help but laugh out loud, his laughter filled with triumph.

"Shen Yu, don't struggle anymore; these blood-colored beetles were carefully raised by me with my Heart Blood."

"They easily corroded your defenses and pierced your skin; they will surge into your mind along your blood, they will devour your power to strengthen themselves, and even continuously divide and multiply."

"Soon, they will devour you. Shen Yu, rest assured, I won't let you die."

"I want to turn you into a Puppet. I want you to open your eyes wide and watch how I use your body to take revenge on you. I said it, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

"Lu Muyan!" This time Shen Yu was truly angry; is this little punk missing a screw in his head or what, why can't he turn his brain around?

"This official has already said that all of this has nothing to do with me! You have found the wrong target for your revenge; doing this will only cause pain to those you love and joy to your enemies!"

"Shen Yu, it's come to this and you are still quibbling. Do you know how I have spent these countless days and nights?"

Seeing Shen Yu struggling hard, Lu Muyan's expression became increasingly ferocious and cruel, like a thug bent on revenge.

"I think about eating your flesh and drinking your blood every moment; I want to make you pay the price!"

"No, your anger is wrong; you are faking it too poorly."

Looking up at the other party, Shen Yu's face gradually turned pale, and the sweat on his forehead dripped onto the ground.

This might be the most disheveled he had been in such a long time, yet he had keenly observed the change in Lu Muyan.

His anger had already turned sour!

"Lu Muyan, you have actually already realized that you might have been deceived, right?"

"You are sticking to your mistake; whether I did it or not is not important. You are already blinded by greed; the current you is just looking for a perfect excuse to control me."

"Lord Shen Yu, think whatever you want, I am just a poor person who wants to take revenge on you!"

"You are poor? Yes, you are not only poor, but also stupid enough!" Gritting his teeth, Shen Yu desperately suppressed the blood-colored beetles in his body while looking up to meet Lu Muyan's gaze.

"Have you thought about it? If all of this is being manipulated by someone in the dark, you don't really think you can control this power, do you?"

"Do you know that when you think everything is under your control, that is exactly when the person behind the scenes will reveal their true colors!"

"That is not something for you, Lord Shen, to worry about!" Nervously observing Shen Yu's changes and watching his constantly struggling expression, Lu Muyan gradually began to feel at ease.

This proved that the Blood Worms he had carefully cultivated and fed with Heart Blood Essence had taken effect. It wouldn't be long before this top expert of the current age would be used by him.

Shen Yu was right; at this point, whether it was right or wrong was no longer important. What was important was that he would possess an absolutely powerful Puppet and would have everything.

Everything Shen Yu possessed, his power and status, would become his own stepping stones.

Only by controlling Shen Yu's power would he have enough strength to take revenge. Everything was for revenge; what a perfect excuse, what a powerful reason.

As for whether Shen Yu was innocent, ha, Shen Yu had a blood feud with him for killing his father, so he felt justified in killing the other party.

"Shen Yu says you are stupid, and you really are hopelessly stupid. He was right, you are indeed stupid enough!"

Just at this moment, a voice came from the palace, a voice Lu Muyan had remembered for a long time. For such a long time, it had been deeply engraved in his mind.

"You, it's you!"

"It is us, is it a surprise?" A group of people slowly walked out of the palace and stood on the steps, confronting Lu Muyan from afar.

"Lord Shen Yu has ordered that not a single one of you is to be left alive; you may use the most cruel methods."

"Lord Shen said, we must kill the chicken to scare the monkey. That is to make those corrupt officials afraid, to let them know the consequences of greed!"

"How about it? These are all things I said back then; I wonder if Young Master Lu still remembers?"

"So you were lying to me!" His ferocious face was filled with rage, and Lu Muyan's eyes turned blood-red when he saw these few people.

His love for his fiancée was not fake, and the hatred in his heart was even less fake. Seeing his enemies at this moment, the killing intent in his heart surged like a tidal wave.

With a fierce wave of his hand, the endless Black Beetles rushed toward the other party like a dark cloud; he wanted to use these Black Beetles to gnaw them clean.

But when these Black Beetles approached these people, they suddenly hovered and did not advance, and no matter how Lu Muyan controlled them, it was of no use.

"Young Master Lu, it's useless! Since we dared to lure you here and let you accept the so-called inheritance, we naturally have the means to control you!"

A group of people looked at him with smiles, as if looking at a clown played in the palm of their hands, and every person's face was filled with pride.

This was their masterpiece, and Lu Muyan had not disappointed them. For countless days and nights, they had felt that Lu Muyan would give up, but he had gritted his teeth and persisted.

Hatred, indeed, is the greatest motivation for a person to grow.

"Lord Shen, nice to meet you for the first time, we have long admired your great name!"

"Is that so? But I have been miserably pitted by you!"

"It was just a coincidence; we just used Lord Shen as a shield. Lord Shen shouldn't mind, right?"

Trapped within the Cage, Shen Yu struggled to look up at these few people, then shook his head indifferently, "Do I still have the capital to mind now?"

"No matter who wins or loses between you, I am just a trophy!"

"Smart, Lord Shen is truly smart, unlike some people, who are truly pitifully stupid."

While speaking, the leader looked at Lu Muyan, his face filled with indescribable disdain.

If it weren't for the fact that after searching for so many years, this was the only suitable one found, he wouldn't have looked twice at a person like this, let alone gone to the trouble of scheming against him.

"Young Master Lu, you really shouldn't think that with your amateur skills, you could possibly have escaped the pursuit of the Black-Clad Guard."

"How could you have arrived in Xiaozhou so smoothly, how could you have fallen in here, and how could you have happened to obtain the inheritance right before you were about to die?"

"With so many coincidences piled together, only a fool like you would actually believe it!"

"How could a pie fall from the sky for no reason? Even if it did fall right in front of you, it would definitely be a pie smeared with poison!"
