WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 177: Setting Trap For Yang Lie!

Reon activated his Identify skill, his eyes narrowing as a stream of translucent data flickered into view over Miu Jiang’s Spatial Ring.

’Hmm... Just as I suspected,’ he muttered, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

[Grade-3 Defensive Formation: Active. Only the original bearer may unlock this ring. Forceful tampering may result in severe backlash.]

’Tch. Troublesome. I know nothing about formations, and trying to force it would likely fry my soul,’ Reon thought grimly, placing a finger on his lips in contemplation.

But then—an idea sparked.

’Why not use that... and see if it works?’ His lips curled into a grin as he raised his palm, whispering darkly beneath his breath.

’Abyssal Absorption: Eternal Void of Annihilation...

Second Art—Devour All Defense!’

BOOM!

A faint surge of black light flared. The intricate runes protecting the ring crumbled and vanished into nothing, devoured as if they had never existed.

’Oh? It even devours Formation Locks?’ Reon blinked in surprise. ’The techniques of my constitution’s Core Void Eye are just... incredible.’

He then channeled a thread of Spiritual Qi into the now-unsealed Spatial Ring, scanning its contents.

’Damn... there’s a lot of treasure in here,’ he muttered, eyes gleaming as a sea of items glimmered within.

But one item caught his attention—a faintly glowing talisman, shaped like a long card etched with runes that shimmered faintly.

’A talisman? Judging by the hardened texture of the paper... definitely a high-grade one.’

He activated Identify once more.

[Name:] Direct Contact Talisman

[Grade:] Low-Tier Epic

[Description:] A communication talisman capable of establishing direct contact with individuals up to 5,000 kilometers away. It transmits both voice and spiritual messages in real time.

Numerous calls and messages had been transmitted into it, causing it to shimmer and glow faintly within the Spatial Ring.

...

’Hmm... A Low-Tier Grade-5 Direct Contact Talisman. Quite useful,’ he muttered.

’So someone left a voice message, huh? Let’s hear it.’ With a flick of his fingers, he channeled a trickle of Spiritual Qi into the talisman.

Instantly, a loud, furious voice blared from the talisman.

"HEY! YOU FUCKING BASTARD, MIU JIANG—"

Reon flinched, quickly lowering the volume.

"Whoa, whoa, not so loud. Cloudia’s sleeping..." he muttered, glancing at her peacefully resting figure. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

He listened carefully as the angry voice continued. The message was crude, furious, and accusatory—pressuring Miu Jiang for taking so long and not answering the call.

’Hmm... Looks like someone was impatiently waiting for results. In the novel, Miu Jiang and Min Shing were subordinates of Niu Ling. That must be Niu Ling’s voice.’

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. ’So he was the one who ordered Miu Jiang and Min Shing to go after Cloudia and the little tiger...’

’Does that mean... he already knows about my beasts and is trying to take them?’ he thought, expression darkening. ’I need to check this more thoroughly...’

He double-checked Miu Jiang’s and Min Shing’s rings. Inside Min Shing’s ring, he found a Grade-4 Voice Transmission Talisman. He played the last recorded message sent to Niu Ling.

’I see... It seems Niu Liang still doesn’t know that I’m the master the beasts yet. He only knows they encountered two Legendary-Lineage Beasts.’ Reon confirmed with a smirk.

’Unless... Ning Shao tells him, he won’t find out. But I doubt she’d reveal that.’

’Heh... this means I’ve got the perfect chance to turn things to my advantage,’ Reon thought, a devilish grin spreading across his face as a cunning idea took shape.

Reon swiftly retrieved the Whisper Veil Pendant from his inventory, eyes glinting with cunning.

’How does this work...?’ he wondered, gently pouring a trickle of Spiritual Qi into the pendant.

As he concentrated, he summoned the voice of a very particular someone—none other than Yang Lie.

’Don’t blame me, Yang Lie. If you want to kill me, I’ll make use of every advantage... even if it means using you,’ Reon thought with a wicked grin curling at his lips.

In an instant, his voice shifted seamlessly, transforming into a perfect imitation of Yang Lie’s.

"Ahem, ahem... Voice testing, voice testing," Reon spoke, testing the voice’s authenticity.

’Oh—this is uncanny,’ he thought, excitement bubbling inside him.

Confident, he activated the Direct Contact Talisman and linked it to Niu Ling’s talisman.

On the other end, Niu Ling’s voice came through immediately, laced with impatience and barely concealed anger.

"Hey, Miu Jiang! What took you so long? Why didn’t you answer my calls or voice messages earlier?" His tone was calm but laced with barely concealed anger.

Reon, still in Yang Lie’s voice, replied smoothly, "Sorry, Brother Niu. The opponents were strong, and their Master stronger still. But don’t worry—we’ve finally dealt with them. We’re heading back now."

The excitement in Niu Ling’s voice surged as he responded, "R-Really? Then hurry back!"

He was so eager that he started pacing, oblivious to the differences in the voice.

Suddenly, suspicion crept in.

"Wait... your voice sounds a bit different..." Niu Ling’s tone wavered.

Reon smirked and leaned into the deception. "Really? I see. Well then... Surprise, motherfucker. It’s me—Yang Lie."

Shock cracked Niu Ling’s voice.

"Huh...? W-What?! Yang Lie?! How did you get Miu Jiang’s talisman?" His excitement vanished, replaced by a dark storm of realization.

"Did you get too excited just now hearing you captured my beast slaves?" Reon taunted.

Niu Ling faltered, confused. "W-What? Your beast slaves?"

Reon’s voice sharpened, cold and biting. "Can’t you grasp the situation, fool? Those two Legendary-Lineage beasts were mine. And since I’m speaking through Miu Jiang’s talisman, that means I slaughtered all your men. They were so freaking... weak."

Niu Ling stammered, "W-What?! How is that even possible? You’re just a Outer Disciple."

But as memories of Yang Lie’s legendary power flooded his mind, reluctant belief forced its way through his shock.

Having heard Yang Lie’s voice before through the Shadow Recording Stone, he was certain it was him.

"You fucking bastard," Reon hissed through clenched teeth. "Listen carefully—I’m speaking to you loud and clear."

"You dared lay your hands on my beasts through your lackeys. When I find you, I will crush you—tear your flesh to ribbons, smash every bone in your body, and then... I’ll make sure you die a slow, agonizing death."

Whoosh!

The connection snapped off abruptly.

On the other side, Niu Liang’s face contorted with rage, veins bulging fiercely, his once-handsome features twisted into a mask of fury.

"This bastard..." he muttered through clenched teeth.
