Chapter 526: What Do You Want to Do?

"It's actually gone, how is this possible!"

The moment Lu Muyan jumped into the cave, Shen Yu wanted to save him, only to find that the instant Lu Muyan fell, he had already vanished.

Clearly, sounds were coming from inside the cave, yet he could find nothing. It was as if he had fallen into another space.

Even under his Super Perception, he could not find any traces, only dense piles of Black Beetle.

And the few people to the side were looking at the cave with burning gazes, their faces all revealing a fanatical expression.

"It's soon, it's almost time!

A shrill, miserable scream came from the cave, yet to their ears, it sounded like a song of victory. They had painstakingly plotted for so long, and it was finally going to be completed today.

Before completing it, they wanted to give the Master a grand gift, a grand gift that could make their Master smile.

Withdrawing their gazes, the few people then looked in the direction of Shen Yu.

The Blood Soul Worm had clearly already burrowed into his body, yet the other party had been able to hold out for such a long time.

Even though Shen Yu looked very weak, as if he would collapse the next moment, he was stubbornly refusing to fall, which inevitably added a bit of impatience to their faces.

Truly just like the rumors, foul and stubborn.

"Shen Yu, you might as well give up resisting; the result is the same anyway, why must you suffer so much!"

"How would I know without trying? Don't waste your breath; your bluster can only fool a young master like Lu Muyan who has never traveled the pugilistic world."

He struggled to resist, sweat dripping onto the ground drop by drop, and the veins on his face bulged; clearly, the resistance was very difficult.

Perhaps he would not be able to hold on the next moment; these Blood Soul Worms were indeed powerful. Even though he tried his best, and even though his Mental Power had been tempered and strengthened multiple times, he still could not resist them.

Perhaps it would not take long for these few seemingly unremarkable blood-colored beetles to completely occupy his Spiritual Sea and devour his soul.

If this were not an avatar but his true body that had come, then he would be in danger.

"I am curious, what exactly are you doing this for? Why must you keep deceiving Lu Muyan!"

"To awaken the Master, and for eternal life!" Seeming to think of something, the fanatical look on these people's faces could not be wiped away, and it seemed to be accompanied by deep anticipation.

"Eternal life?" Raising his eyebrows slightly, Shen Yu looked at them with some uncertainty.

Are you kidding me? These people must be crazy. Eternal life? Are you sure you haven't been swindled?

Seeming to see the disdain in Shen Yu's eyes, these people immediately snorted coldly, "When the Master lives, we can have eternal life!"

"Official Shen, Shen Yu, do you know the greatest use of the Blood Soul Worm? It is not to devour the soul, but to carry the soul."

"The Master will help us find bodies. One day, when we are old and frail, we can borrow your bodies to continue living, and we will live very well!"

"So you mean Lu Muyan is the body your so-called Master needs?" What a bunch of lunatics; why do I keep running into such lunatics lately?

These people actually harbor delusions of achieving eternal life in this way; do they not know that Uncle Snake has already proven this is unreliable?

With your meager Mental Power, it won't take long before it is worn away by repeatedly switching bodies; at that time, can you still count on someone to help you again? How is that possible?

By then, having lost all utility value, their best ending would be to be discarded like worn-out shoes and cleaned out like trash.

"Correct. Before, we wanted Lu Muyan to live, to do our best to keep him going, to let him endure the pain of ten thousand worms biting his heart—it was to allow him to accept the inheritance."

"The ten thousand worms biting the heart is actually transforming his body, letting his body adapt to everything."

"Now we want him to die because he has already succeeded. He has successfully cultivated the Blood Soul Worm; Official Shen has already helped him prove this point."

"This shows that his body has reached the most perfect state, sufficient to carry the Master's descent!"

"Understood!" Seeming to understand everything, Shen Yu suddenly realized.

"No wonder you wanted to crush his mental will and break his mental defenses; it was all so that the descent of your so-called Master could be foolproof."

"Correct, Official Shen is indeed clever. Unfortunately, clever people do not live long, because this World does not need so many clever people!"

"Seeking skin from a tiger, courting one's own death!" Feeling that he might not be able to hold on, and that his avatar must be at the end of its rope, Shen Yu sighed slightly.

If it were truly as they said, that these blood-colored beetles could replace a person's consciousness silently, then these blood-colored beetles would be extremely terrifying.

Thinking that a few unremarkable little bugs could have such power, what they said might not be false.

If the upper echelons of the pugilistic world could all be replaced like this, then wouldn't the entire pugilistic world be under their control? Such Blood Soul Worms could not even be resisted by himself, so those pugilistic experts would be even less able to resist.

"Who exactly is your Master, and where is he? You don't really think he will let you have eternal life, do you?"

Super Perception swept over everything, but Shen Yu could not find the other party's exact location at all.

He knew the other party must be an expert, and an extremely powerful one at that, capable of creating space to hide himself; this was something that could only be done by exceeding his current realm.

Such an expert could only be one of those old monsters; in other words, these people before him were acting as dogs for those old monsters who had slaughtered across the wilderness.

If possible, he naturally had to stop all of this before the other party could fully merge with Lu Muyan's body.

Once they had perfectly carried everything, it would be hard to fight.

However, if he really couldn't find them, perhaps he could try another method: using their own way to treat them.

"Official Shen, since you are trapped in the Jail, don't be so curious. You will see our Master very soon, and you will have the great honor of becoming the Master's first Puppet."

"Perhaps one day, you will be bestowed upon one of the Master's confidants. Of course, it could also be me."

"So, Official Shen, you must protect your body well. Who knows, it might be mine in the future!"

"As for whether the Master will reuse us, you don't need to worry at all. The Master needs loyal subordinates; we are willing to be dogs for the Master, willing to go through fire and water for the Master!"

"For eternal life, we can give everything, including loyalty!"

"You people are truly beyond saving!" A sudden voice rang out from behind, causing the expressions of these few people to change abruptly.

They turned their heads stiffly and saw Shen Yu smiling at them, then looked uncertainly at the one trapped in the Cage.

"Impossible, how can they be exactly the same? Is it a double?"

"No, it's an avatar!" As Shen Yu finished speaking, the one trapped in the Cage vanished, and beside him, two more identical Shen Yus appeared.

And at this moment, Golden Rune appeared around Shen Yu; the three Shen Yus seemed to be coordinating with each other, constructing chains of Golden Rune.

"You, you, how is this possible! Wait, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I couldn't find your Master's location, so I can only use the most foolish method: to set up a sufficiently sturdy Jail here!"

The Golden Rune on the three people began to scatter throughout the palace, closing in at a very fast speed, the golden light making Shen Yu's face shine brilliantly.

"He might be able to survive by using Lu Muyan's body, but he will also be sealed here forever, I say so!"

"You still want immortality, you are dreaming!"
