Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1683: Chapter 1015: Qin Guang and the Others’ Schemes

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Negotiation?”

He showed a faint smile on his face and said, “Oh, let’s hear it.”

Liang Yuan was very aware that these old folks had embedded the Starry Sky Savage Soul Poison within the Soul Contract, which was why they suddenly became confident.

He smiled faintly and said, “If you can give me a reason to let you go, I might consider it.”

Qin Guang’s face briefly flashed with anger.

After becoming immortal for many years, he had never seen anyone dare speak to him this way.

He took a deep breath and said coldly, “You might not be aware, the Soul Contract you signed contains the soul poison left by True Monarch Xue Ming.”

“On the brink of death, and you remain unaware.”

“Hehe, only True Monarch Xue Ming has the antidote for the Starry Sky Savage Soul Poison. If you dare harm me, I assure you, you’ll never get the antidote from True Monarch Xue Ming.”

Liang Yuan laughed immediately; it was evident they were relying on this trump card to restrain him.

“That’s indeed quite frightening.”

“So you’re here to negotiate on behalf of Xue Ming?”

“Hehe, I and True Monarch Xue Ming are both among the Ten Great True Monarchs, there’s no such thing as one sending the other. Consider it more like collaboration between the two of us.”

“Kid, now that you understand the situation, why don’t you just surrender?”

Liang Yuan chuckled, “I don’t think we need to rush. Even if I’ve fallen for your so-called soul poison, won’t it take time to take effect?”

“Do you think I might manage to capture you first and mark you with a Slave Mark?”

With these words, Qin Guang’s face changed drastically.

“How dare you! Are you truly courting death?”

“Let me tell you, if I don’t contact Xue Ming for a prolonged period, he will surely realize that I’ve encountered a mishap. Would you believe that if you dare act against me, I would self-detonate instantly and ensure you don’t succeed?”

Liang Yuan burst into hearty laughter, “If you old geezers truly had such courage, how would you be lingering for thousands of years, hiding in the Starry Sky Ancient City?”

“Cut the nonsense!”

“I want to see what consequences will follow when I capture you today!”

Swish!

Liang Yuan’s figure flickered, and within an instant, he appeared above Qin Guang.

Qin Guang’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly pulled out a bell and shouted, “Soul capture!”

Clang, clang, clang…

He shook the bell in his hand furiously, causing it to ring loud and clear instantly.

Liang Yuan felt his Spiritual Power fluctuating violently.

However, he instantly looked surprised.

This bell didn’t harm his spirit or soul; instead, it rapidly stimulated his Spiritual Power to become more active.

In the next moment, he immediately understood the other’s plan.

“So this is meant to accelerate my soul and spirit activity, thereby hastening the soul poison’s effect?”

Liang Yuan sneered coldly in his heart, “Wishful thinking.”

Boom!

Liang Yuan faced Qin Guang directly and slapped his forehead.

Qin Guang couldn’t react at all, and a Soul Imprisonment Rune was instantly inserted into his mind.

His sea of consciousness shook dramatically, and with his face changing wildly, a spiritual shadow suddenly escaped from his body!

He was indeed decisive, choosing to abandon the newly acquired physical form and flee directly with his soul!

However, this move had already been used by Meng Laotai before.

Moreover, Meng Laotai and Ma Ning were right behind him, how could they let him escape?

As soon as Qin Guang’s spirit left his body, Meng Laotai suddenly opened his mouth wide.

A gust of dark light sprayed out.

Boom!

The dark light exploded fiercely in front of Qin Guang, immediately causing his spirit to freeze in its tracks.

His expression turned dazed.

Liang Yuan, by this time, had already reached behind Qin Guang’s spirit, raising his hand to point.

A Soul Imprisonment Rune directly entered the opponent’s soul body.

Instantly, Qin Guang’s entire body trembled violently, and his soul body shivered.

Before long, Qin Guang returned to normal, though his soul body clearly bore a Soul Imprisonment Rune mark on his forehead.

By this time, his consciousness returned, the panicked expression disappeared from his face, replaced by guilt.

He knelt with a thud before Liang Yuan and said, “Master, Qin Guang was foolish to harbor hostility against the master’s invitation, asking for the master’s punishment.”

Liang Yuan laughed and waved his hand, “Rise, tell me, did you really discuss the plan with True Monarch Xue Ming?”

Qin Guang quickly replied, “Yes, before I came, Xue Ming and I had discussed the plan, all I had to do was recover a little and secretly use the soul bell to activate your soul poison.”

“By then, it would be easy to control you and those returning people.”

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, clapping his hands, “You have it all planned out, but how are you sure the person who signed the Soul Contract with you is really me?”

Qin Guang was stunned and then exclaimed in surprise, “Wasn’t the person who signed the Soul Contract you?”

“We can detect that the person on the other end of the Soul Contract has equally formidable Spiritual Power, seemingly near the Star God Level.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, almost reaching Star God Level Spiritual Power is considered formidable in your eyes?”

“Yes, we only barely broke through to the Star God Level before, and now we linger to this day, so we know full well it is impossible for those in the End of Dharma Era to cultivate into immortality,” Qin Guang explained.

Liang Yuan laughed, “That’s right, according to your assessment, that’s about correct.”

“Unfortunately, there are always exceptions in this world.”

In fact, Qin Guang and Xue Ming’s evaluation was not inaccurate.

If Liang Yuan did not have the system’s assistance, honestly, even his current realm might be inferior to Jin Shirong’s.

Essentially, ever since the Great Flood, in just two or three years, relying on personal cultivation alone would absolutely not achieve the Star God Level.

So Qin Guang’s estimation was correct.

They assumed Liang Yuan’s strength here was not quite at the Star God Level, at most achieving Genetic Reorganization Perfection.

Based on their assessment, if Liang Yuan truly reached the Star God Level, he would have already come to the Starry Sky Ancient City to find them.

So generally, they concluded Liang Yuan’s power was just below Star God Level.

Thus, when they felt the aura of the Soul Contract signer was at this level, they practically confirmed it was Liang Yuan himself.

Otherwise, Qin Guang wouldn’t have dared take the risk of coming.

Naturally, to add an extra precaution, as the main hand behind the soul poison, Xue Ming didn’t take the risk; he continued to remain stationed in the Starry Sky Ancient City, waiting for Qin Guang’s feedback.

“So you’d need another exchange with him before Xue Ming truly believes you’ve mastered it here?”

“Yes, Master,” Qin Guang answered honestly.

Liang Yuan then smiled, “Very well, now contact him, tell him everything here is under your control.”

“Yes, Master.”

Qin Guang quickly nodded and said, “I’ve contacted him, if the plan proceeds smoothly, all it takes is sending the spirit of my Soul Artifact over, and he’ll know everything.”

“If it fails, I’ll pretend to send someone over to relay the message, no matter what that person says, Xue Ming will conclude my side has already failed.”

“Then they’d think of other ways.”

Liang Yuan chuckled, “Quite a variety of techniques.”

He waved his hand and said, “Go ahead as per your plan.”

“Yes, Master.”

Qin Guang promptly took out a soul contract resembling a bone flute.

Then he placed the soul contract in front of Liang Yuan and said, “This Spirit-Possessing Flute was a magic artifact I refined before; its spirit was sealed since the End of Dharma Era, and it slept through the decline of Spiritual Energy.”

“It revived along with the return of Spiritual Energy over the last couple of years. It is the only thing that can pass through the soul channel to contact Xue Ming.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, “Very well, leave it to me.”
