Chapter 525: You Want Him to Seek Death

~8 min read 1,487 words

"So everything about me was arranged!"

Seeming to understand everything at once, Lu Muyan's face was filled with despair. In that case, it was actually he who had killed his own fiancée and killed his father-in-law's entire family.

"Why, why did you have to target me!"

"We didn't want to either, but there was no other way. For so many years, we have searched almost the entire Imperial Court, and only after all this time did we find a few suitable candidates."

"It's a pity that those before you all failed, and in the years since, we have found nothing. In these years, you were the only suitable candidate; if we didn't target you, who would we target?"

Slowly walking toward Lu Muyan, the other party did not care at all about Lu Muyan's murderous glare, but instead looked at him with a smile.

"You are our last hope. If you fail too, we really don't know how long it will take to find another suitable candidate."

"You should know that those candidates before you, without exception, all failed; they were swallowed clean by the ten thousand insects in Chonggu."

"The pain of those ten thousand insects devouring the heart is not something everyone can endure, nor is it something everyone can survive!"

"We observed you for a long time. We originally thought about killing your parents, your father-in-law, and your fiancée right before your eyes; only bone-deep hatred could make you grit your teeth and persevere!"

"Therefore, we had a foolproof plan!" Speaking of this, the leader couldn't help but laugh softly, his smile carrying a hint of cruelty.

"We originally wanted to make our move on the day of your wedding, to pull you down when you felt the happiest, to experience the cruelest thing in the human world."

"Only such pain, such hatred, could support you to survive!"

"You!" The cruelty of these people made one shudder just thinking about it. The hatred and fury in Lu Muyan's heart could no longer be suppressed.

He wanted revenge, but the beetles around him, those treasures he once commanded like his own arms, were now unresponsive, and there even seemed to be a sense of them wanting to turn against him.

"No need to struggle. Since we dared to come out, we aren't afraid of you turning against us."

"I have one more question!" The expression on Shen Yu's face within the formation gradually became distorted; it was a grimace caused by desperate resistance.

"Then why didn't you wait until his wedding to make your move, instead of shifting the blame onto this official?"

"We didn't want to either, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. Who told you, Magistrate Shen, to take action and kill your father, who was a corrupt official?"

"Although Young Master Lu's father was a corrupt official, he still had to observe three years of mourning. Where would we have the time to wait three years for him!"

"Therefore, we made a prompt decision to break directly into his father-in-law's house and wantonly humiliate his most beloved fiancée right before his eyes to incite his greatest hatred."

"You bastards!" Hearing this, Lu Muyan could no longer listen; he roared and charged toward them.

Even if the Black Beetle by his side would not obey, he still had himself. The body-devouring by ten thousand insects brought him not only control over the ten thousand insects but also absolutely powerful strength.

Now his body was as strong as steel, and his power was a hundred or a thousand times greater than before. He wanted these people to pay the price; he wanted revenge.

Like a mountain-toppling and sea-draining force, it surged out from within Lu Muyan's body, while he himself drew his sword like a sharp blade.

As the sword light flickered, it brought with it the bloody scent of death; it was a power that nearly swept away everything.

Yet, Lu Muyan, with such terrifying momentum, became like a deflated ball when he approached the other party, unable to even stand steady.

A Grandmaster challenging a Transcendence Realm expert, and this Grandmaster was clearly cultivated through a shortcut method with an unstable foundation; the result was destined to be like an egg hitting a rock.

Moreover, everything about Lu Muyan was controlled by them; how could they not leave behind means of control?

In the eyes of these people, Lu Muyan was always just a clown. Once his value was used up, he was naturally destined to be discarded.

"Lu Muyan, do you know? Your fiancée was truly fragrant and tender."

One foot stepped on Lu Muyan's head, forcefully pressing him into the ground as if to bury him in the dust.

"Look at these people behind me. You should remember their faces; every one of them has tasted your fiancée."

"It's a pity that you, the one about to become her husband, didn't have that luck. That woman was truly a masterpiece; alas, what a pity!"

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

"I'm standing right here. If you have the ability, kill me!" With a force from the foot, Lu Muyan's head directly shattered the black rock beneath him.

With his face against the ground, he naturally couldn't see the expression on the other's face, but he could imagine how ugly the other's expression was right now.

He was unwilling to give up; hatred had taken root and sprouted in him long ago. He wanted to find these people every moment and tear them to pieces one by one.

He had thought he was strong enough, but when these people truly stood before him, he realized just how powerless he was.

"What, feeling the pain? We wanted the painful cries of her begging for help to take root in your heart. The more hateful you are, the more you want revenge, the more you will try every possible way to survive."

"At that time, as long as we gave you a tiny opportunity, you would grasp it desperately. How do you think you knew about Cannibal Valley and Evil Man City? How do you think you fell into this cave?"

"Everything was arranged by us in advance. We wanted you to do it, so you naturally could only do it!"

"We were also gambling, but we succeeded. You really did persevere and successfully cultivated the Blood Soul Insect with your Heart Blood Essence!"

"Even an expert like Shen Yu could not withstand the erosion of the Blood Soul Insect; in this vast world, who else could withstand it!"

"Now you have no more value to be used. You are just like you were back then, nothing but an incompetent piece of trash!"

With a kick, Lu Muyan was sent flying, landing right at the edge of a bottomless pit. In this cave was the nest of the ten thousand insects.

The former Lu Muyan had gained a new life in this terrifying place, and what Lu Muyan relied on was nothing more than the ten thousand insects here.

Without these, he was just a tiger without claws and teeth, posing no threat to his enemies.

"Lu Muyan, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself. It was you who harmed your fiancée's family, who harmed that woman as pure as a lotus flower."

"They were all innocent, but because of you, they could only die."

"So your enemy is not me, but yourself! You harmed them; you are the culprit. Do you understand?"

"You piece of trash, it was bad enough that you harmed yourself, but you also harmed others. If I were you, I would end my own life in the most painful way to atone for them."

"No, they are breaking down his psychological defenses; they want him to seek death!" Shen Yu in the formation seemed to understand something and looked up abruptly.

But by this time, Lu Muyan seemed to have completely lost hope. All he could think about was revenge, and what supported him was also revenge.

Now the enemy was right before his eyes, yet he had no hope of revenge because everything had been designed by his enemies, and his power had been bestowed by them.

He had no power to resist before them; he could only have his wounds reopened time and again, and then be slaughtered amidst humiliation.

Especially the other party's words, which were like sharp blades stabbing into his heart, leaving him dripping with blood.

Living seemed to have lost all meaning; death seemed to be his best release.

Closing his eyes, Lu Muyan jumped directly back into the cave filled with beetles, and then wails and screams resounded all around.

"Ling'er, you said that when the peach blossoms bloom all over Lushan, you would ride in an eight-bearer sedan chair to marry me."

"The peach blossoms of Lushan have already bloomed; did you see them, did you see them!"
