I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

L Luo Gang?!

Zou Feng froze, unable to process it for a moment.

But when he did, beads of sweat instantly soaked his back.

The fact that Luo Gang wanted to kill him wasn’t the biggest problem in itself; after all, Jiang Wanzhao and Yu Lingxiao were both present.

What truly sent a chill down Zou Feng’s spine was the question: why would Luo Gang—a member of the Dragon Race that had long ago submitted to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect—suddenly want to kill him?

The answer wasn’t hard to guess.

Just like that Wolf Demon from Wind Singing Manor, this dragon had most likely turned traitor too!

And the damage he could cause by rebelling would clearly be no minor skirmish.

In an instant, everything that had happened recently—the seemingly meaningless invasions and probes by the Tribulation Cultivators—all became terrifyingly clear.

Furthermore, if Luo Gang had turned, then Luo Zhenzhen couldn’t possibly be innocent.

That matchmaking meeting, all of Luo Zhenzhen’s strange behavior recently, her various impolite and bizarre actions...

It was all a goddamn act!

’Their true intention is to...’

”Young friend Zou, what is it? Is the wine too strong?” Luo Gang’s smile was warm and pleasant.

Before he spoke, however, a flicker of doubt had clearly crossed his eyes before vanishing.

Zou Feng knew that Luo Gang had noticed the abnormality he’d shown out of sheer shock.

In the next moment, Zou Feng knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer. He had to warn Jiang Wanzhao and Yu Lingxiao. Otherwise, the Celestial Hearing Tower would likely be...

Although confronting Luo Gang so openly carried considerable risk, this was no time to worry about such things.

”This wine... is poisoned!”

Zou Feng shouted, raising his hand to smash the cup on the ground.

But just as he lifted his arm, a massive explosion erupted from the top of the Celestial Hearing Tower.

The deafening sound startled everyone at the feast, and they all looked around in confusion, trying to figure out what was happening.

Zou Feng, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised.

’If the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld are truly determined to breach the Celestial Hearing Tower, then the teleportation Array at the top—which is only activated in emergencies—is the biggest obstacle they must eliminate first.’

Now that the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race had revealed their betrayal, the first thing to be blown up would, of course, be that teleportation Array.

’However, the Array being blown up doesn’t mean it was just breached now. A place like that, under constant heavy protection, couldn’t be broken into so easily.’

’The seeds of this disaster were likely sown when the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race first came for the matchmaking session.’

’At that time, the Tribulation Cultivators just happened to launch a major offensive, forcing out both Jiang Wanzhao and Yu Lingxiao, who rarely leaves the Celestial Hearing Tower.’

’Luo Gang and the other members of the Dragon Race with him naturally joined the battle, providing a great deal of help.’

’And the one who didn’t go out to fight, the one who stayed behind in the Celestial Hearing Tower...’

’Ninth Princess Luo Zhenzhen!’

’Even now, Luo Zhenzhen was sent to the bridal chamber, but she clearly wasn’t staying put obediently...’

”The teleportation Array at the peak?!” After a moment of shock, Jiang Wanzhao was the first to stand up, her expression grim.

Yu Lingxiao, however, remained calm. She shook her head and said, ”It’s fine. The protective Array guarding the teleportation Array can’t be broken even by several Golden Core Realm Cultivators working together!”

Her calmness, of course, was well-founded.

In the entire Celestial Hearing Tower, only she, the Tower Master, had the authority to activate or deactivate the Array at the peak.

Even the previously exposed traitor, Commander-in-Chief Wang Buyi, did not have this authority.

Yet even though Yu Lingxiao didn’t think the teleportation Array at the peak would be in any real trouble, Zou Feng couldn’t calm down.

Because he could already see the smile on Luo Gang’s lips twisting into something else...

”At last... it is done!”

He covered his face, his laughter deep and muffled.

”I wonder if you two Fellow Daoists have ever heard that my daughter, Luo Zhenzhen, is a peerless Array genius, the kind not seen in a hundred years!”

Knowing that Luo Zhenzhen had succeeded, Luo Gang couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. He laid his cards on the table and began to gloat.

It was true that the Array at the peak was difficult to break through with brute force, even with several Golden Core Realm Cultivators working together.

But a grandmaster of Arrays could study it, dismantle it like a complex mechanism, and then easily blow the teleportation Array at the peak to smithereens.

Who the hell would have thought that the Ninth Princess Luo Zhenzhen of Yu Long Lake, who had always had a rather poor reputation, was actually a top-tier genius in the field of Arrays...

And with that, all of Luo Zhenzhen’s previous absurd behavior suddenly made sense.

During her time at the Celestial Hearing Tower, she seemed to be flirting with every promising young man she saw, but in reality, it was all a cover to divert everyone’s attention.

After all, since she was already acting so wantonly, it wouldn’t be strange for her to occasionally run up to the peak to flirt with the guards.

Zou Feng also recalled that day at the lift platform, why he had felt that Luo Zhenzhen and Wang Buyi had something going on.

’Because they were both traitors, they were on the same side from the beginning!’

Unfortunately, all these suspicious points had been concealed by the facade of ”Luo Zhenzhen the wanton dragon princess.”

”Senior Sister Jiang, the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race has rebelled!”

Zou Feng finally smashed his wine cup on the ground.

In truth, Luo Zhenzhen being an Array genius wasn’t the crucial point.

The key question was, what had possessed the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race to actually rebel?

They had to have known how severe the consequences of rebellion would be.

Even if they succeeded in breaching the Celestial Hearing Tower this time and gained numerous benefits alongside the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld, they certainly wouldn’t be able to remain in Yu Long Lake afterward.

They would either have to relocate to the depths of the Northern Domain or hide in some Outer Domain.

So what on earth were they after?

Did they really think that by relying on the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld, they could shake the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s dominion over the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm?
