Chapter 489: Chapter 0463: Bat Demon? _1
Lv Zhong was thoroughly enraged!
While rushing towards Yan City, he activated the Mother Emperor wave frequency to contact the [Soul Devouring Bugs] in Yan City. What shocked Lv Zhong was that he had lost contact with the several Level 4 [Soul Devouring Bugs] that had always been protecting his father.
Obviously, those [Soul Devouring Bugs] had already fallen.
"It seems that someone or some power has been targeting my father for a long time," he pondered.
A trace of solemnity flashed across Lv Zhong’s face. He hadn’t expected that his family would be targeted, even with the backing of his openly flaunted [Cult of Plague God].
A conspiracy?
Lv Zhong’s thoughts began to race.
The hidden enemy who severely injured his father must have ulterior motives.
Lv Zhong knew that his father was usually gentle and honest, seldom getting into disputes with others.
Moreover, his father had a martial arts background and had taken numerous [Marrow Cleansing Pills]. It wouldn’t be easy for an average ancient martial arts practitioner to harm him. Why would someone dare to target him, especially considering that Lv Tianlin and others were protected by Body-Protecting Talismans, Exorcism Talismans, and other protections that Lv Zhong had specially crafted?
Therefore, anyone capable of harming his father must be a Cultivator, and definitely not weak.
However, Lv Zhong didn’t yet know what the hidden enemy’s intentions were. Did they want to lure him, Lv Zhong, back or were they simply probing the boundaries of those from the Anle Peak [Cult of Plague God]?
Regardless of whether the hidden enemy’s aim was to lure him, Lv Zhong, or probe the [Cult of Plague God]’s bottom line, he had to go back! After all, counting everyone in the [Cult of Plague God], there was only him, Lv Zhong...
"Who exactly is this person?"
Lv Zhong began to ponder carefully. He had offended a fair number of people. However, most wouldn’t be capable of grievously injuring his father. Hence, he could likely rule out both the mortal world and the ancient martial arts world.
Next would be Shu Mountain, Kunlun, Yuxu Palace, Japanese Yin-Yang masters, Vatican’s [Sanctum Church], and the mysterious and terrifying alien cultivator, Mu Yue Wu Shuang.
However, Shu Mountain was basically ruined by Lv Zhong. The remaining disciples were suppressed by people controlled by the [Soul Devouring Bugs], so it should not cause him any trouble.
The cases of Qing Song from Kunlun and his disciples who fell at the [Nine Heavens Star Slaughter Array] on the Anle Peak were different. They secretly followed Yan Jinli of Shu Mountain, so the people from the Kunlun sect might not know of their fall on Anle Peak.
Lv Zhong had to kill several people including the Great Elder Yu Qingzhi and others from Yuxu Palace for the sake of Ao Ye. This incident happened in the mortal world and could not be hidden from the people of Yuxu Palace. Plus, the top Cultivation sect in China, Yuxu Palace, possessed He Qiu - the Old Tao who was on the brink of the Leaving Aperture Stage. If this sect sought revenge, they must not be underestimated. However, He Qiu was seen as a giant in the world of Cultivators in China. He wouldn’t stoop so low as to threaten Lv Zhong’s kin, would he?
Japan suffered a great deal due to Lv Zhong. Not only were countless yin-yang masters killed by his Insect Army, but the Yasukuni Shrine was also destroyed, their national fortune devoured, and even Abe Tianzhao and Xu Fu were annihilated by Lv Zhong. His grudge against Japan for causing the destruction of three-fourths of the country due to a volcanic eruption is bone-deep. But they would have to resort to extreme measures rather than just injuring Lv Tianlin if they wanted to seek revenge. Furthermore, there’s hardly any significant person left in Japan who can threaten the Lv Family, protected by the Insect Army.
Hence, Japan could also be ruled out!
The guys from the Vatican?
Lv Zhong shook his head again. Even if they had the strength, they likely wouldn’t have arrived in China so quickly and figured out his, Lv Zhong’s, background.
What about the powerful woman Cultivator Mu Yue Wu Shuang?
Lv Zhong shook his head once more. She was too formidable. If she wanted to deal with him, Lv Zhong, she wouldn’t resort to such means.
Upon thinking this, Lv Zhong unexpectedly found that he had ruled out all the people or powers that could pose a threat to himself.
Then who exactly injured his father?
Lv Zhong was suddenly baffled.
While Lv Zhong was lost in thought, he, who was preoccupied with two things at once, had already pushed his speed to the extreme.
The distance between Star City and Yan City was just a hundred and seventy-eight kilometers, even closer to the Nanyue district!
With [Speed Shadow Mad Blade] in hand, Lv Zhong’s speed could reach up to 1000 kilometers per hour. It would take only a few minutes to rush from Star City to Anle Peak in Nanyue on his [Speed Shadow Mad Blade]!
Upon reaching Anle Peak, Lv Zhong appeared beside his mother, Liu Shuxian, in the [Profound Yin Demon Sect] quarters underneath the peak.
At this time, his father, Lv Tianlin, was seriously injured and unconscious in bed.
His mother Liu Shuxian and his uncle, Lv Tianci, were both by the bedside.
Seeing Lv Zhong appearing out of nowhere, both of them rejoiced, as if they had found their backbone. They stood up and said, "Little Zhong, you’re back."
Lv Zhong nodded solemnly, "Mom, Uncle, what happened?"
Liu Shuxian said sorrowfully, "Ever since your father resigned, he has been returning to our hometown and frequently visiting the villagers. Sometimes when it gets late, he would stay over at the villagers’ houses. Yesterday, your father didn’t return from his visit, which I didn’t find strange. But this morning, something happened to him. I’m not sure how he was attacked..."
"Little Zhong, a big incident occurred in our village yesterday. Several foreigners who had been conducting research around our village died in the Monster Bat Cave behind Tianzhu Peak. Even three of our villagers who served as their guides died inside. It seems they were drained of blood by the bats. The villagers were furious and set up a net at Monster Bat Cave, then poured gasoline on the dry wood and set it alight, killing countless bats. Many bats were also caught in the net and were burned to death by the angry villagers. I suspect there is a bat monster in that cave. It may have been the one that injured your dad..." Lv Tianci suggested with a speculative expression.
"Uncle, even if there is a bat monster, what does it have to do with my father? How did my father get hurt?" Lv Zhong asked, baffled.
Lv Zhong couldn’t relate this incident to his father based on the information he had.
Lv Tianci gave an awkward laugh, "Little Zhong, forgive your uncle for not being educated. My words might lack logic. What I meant was, these foreigners who died had been staying in our village, and your father had treated them several times. Most importantly, it was your father’s idea for the villagers to set the Monster Bat Cave on fire. I suspect that the monster is retaliating against your father."
Lv Zhong rolled his eyes. Nanyue was known for being prosperous and blessed, how could there possibly be any monsters? Besides, he himself, Lv Zhong, often stirred trouble in the vicinity.
Would a monster dare to seriously injure his father, Lv Zhong?
"Our village is nearly thirty miles from here. Dad didn’t have an accident at our old house, so why did it occur at Anle Peak?" Lv Zhong asked curiously.
"This..." Lv Tianci was unable to give a reasonable explanation. He seemed puzzled too, "This morning, when I arrived at the peak, I discovered your father unconscious before the Nine Heavens Star Slaughter Array. I don’t know how he ended up here. Perhaps he made it here on his own. After all, there are many spiritual medicines around here. He might have come here looking for medicine to treat his injuries..."
Even though this was an explanation, Lv Zhong still had many unanswered questions. He nodded indifferently, but then immediately used the Mother Emperor Wave Frequency to communicate with all the alien insects.
Each type of alien insect’s Mother Emperor wave frequency varied in length, hence the distance to control them varied as well.
In the past, Lv Zhong commonly used the Mother Emperor wave frequency to contact the [Soul Devouring Bugs].
The [Soul Devouring Bugs] usually acted as invisible bodyguards around Lv Zhong’s family members. Their surveillance might not cover every corner. Additionally, the Soul Devouring Bugs stationed in Yan City and the Nanyue Mountain Area were the earliest batch of alien insects Lv Zhong acquired. Apart from a dozen or so Level 4 Soul Devouring Bugs assigned to protect Lv Zhong’s family secretly, most of the Soul Devouring Bugs were Level 2 or Level 1.
Originally, having such a large batch of Level 2 and Level 1 alien insects, along with a few powerful Level 4 [Soul Devouring Bugs], could protect Lv Family from any ordinary Spirit Movement Realm cultivators.
However, Lv Tianlin was attacked and seriously injured, the few Soul Devouring Bugs guarding him were also annihilated.
It was baffling!
Due to the incomprehension, Lv Zhong firstly communicated with the Poison-Devouring Bugs, Wood Essence Bugs, and other alien insects using the Mother Emperor Wave Frequency.
As for his father’s injuries, Lv Zhong was now aware of them. They were fatal for ordinary people or even ancient martial artists, but trivial for Lv Zhong.
The Poison-Devouring Bugs and Wood Essence Bugs could only receive the Mother Emperor wave frequency within half a kilometers radius. However, there were many of them in the Nanyue Mountain Area. Connecting with them one by one and then accumulating the information, Lv Zhong could be aware of the events in the entire Nanyue Mountain Area.
When Lv Zhong connected with all the Poison-Devouring Bugs and Wood Essence Bugs, he began collecting information from the day.
As he gathered more information, Lv Zhong’s face turned gloomy.
The boundless anger almost erupted instantly!
Through the [Poison-eating bugs] and Wood Essence Bugs surrounding him, Lv Zhong assembled the information.
His father Lv Tianlin was indeed seriously injured by someone.
The [Soul Devouring Bug] guarding Lv Tianlin was also annihilated instantly.
The enemy had used a sound attack, a true infrasound assault!
What’s even more bizarre was that the person seemed to know that Lv Tianlin had mysterious alien insects guarding him. Not only did he kill a few powerful [Soul Devouring Bugs] protecting Lv Tianlin with his sound attack, but he also exterminated most [Poison-eating bugs] in the vicinity.
Thankfully, the [Wood Essence Bugs] could voraciously absorb the life energy of the trees around them to protect themselves, and thus didn’t suffer many deaths.
"An ill-intentioned visitor never comes without a cause. This person certainly must’ve planned it beforehand!" Lv Zhong put on a grim face, his heart boiling with enormous killing intent.
He saw an image from the information transmitted by [Wood Essence Bugs] and recognized who the assailant was.
Since he knew who the murderer was, Lv Zhong would never let him go. However, the most important thing for him now was to cure his father’s injury.
"Hmm, when I have cured my father, I will come after you. Then, you will realize who you’ve messed with!" With a cold snort, Lv Zhong restrained his anger and killing intent. He reached out with both hands and began to treat his father’s injuries. (To be continued. If you like this book, please come to qidian.com to vote and give monthly tickets.
