186: Chapter 186 Greed Creates a Flaw, and the Moon Goddess Takes the Bait

The three words "Falling Star Disk" were like a bolt of lightning from the Nine Heavens, striking violently into the Moon Goddess's Sea of Consciousness.

Although Su Yun could not see the scene on the other side of the bone mirror, he could clearly feel it.

The massive Divine Thought emanating from the bone mirror experienced a moment of intense, almost unmaskable agitation.

It was a complex fluctuation of emotions mixed with shock, ecstasy, greed, and disbelief.

She took the bait!

Su Yun sneered inwardly.

He had learned from Blood Consort's memories that this "Falling Star Disk" was a supreme treasure left behind by the ancient Star God.

It was not only the key to opening the Star-Moon Holy Land's Legacy Secret Realm, but also the most critical formation hub in the Heaven Burial Palace's so-called "Heavenly Reckoning Array."

Whoever controlled the Falling Star Disk would hold absolute dominance in the future Reckoning Plan.

This item was an irresistible temptation for any Divine Lord of the Heaven Burial Palace.

Especially for an ambitious woman like the Moon Goddess who valued power above all else, its attraction surpassed everything.

Sure enough, after a brief loss of composure, the Moon Goddess's voice rang out again.

Only this time, there was an urgency in her voice that even she hadn't noticed.

"Is what you said true? Are you certain it is the Falling Star Disk?"

"How did you learn of its whereabouts? Where is it now? Who is guarding it? What Restrictions are around it?"

A series of rapid, sharp questions smashed toward Ye Qingyu like a violent storm.

At the same time, a killing intent ten times sharper than before locked onto Ye Qingyu's Divine Soul through the bone mirror.

This was a test of extreme pressure.

If there was the slightest hesitation or flaw in Ye Qingyu's answer...

Or if her Soul showed any inappropriate fear under this killing intent, the Moon Goddess would immediately judge that she was lying.

However, facing the Moon Goddess's rapid-fire questioning, Ye Qingyu did not panic at all. Instead, she let out a desolate, cold laugh.

"Master, are you interrogating a prisoner?"

Her voice was filled with deep self-deprecation and disappointment.

"I risked my life to protect your secrets, and this is what I get in return?"

"Fine, since you don't believe me, then forget it. Just pretend I said nothing. Let me fend for myself here, and let that supreme treasure be buried forever in this sunless underground palace."

As she spoke, she actually looked away, adopting a posture of being disheartened and refusing to communicate.

This move of "retreating to advance" was played to perfection.

The more you want to know, the less I'll say.

The more you doubt, the more I'll act even more aggrieved and chilled to the heart than you.

This move actually left the Moon Goddess hanging.

The aura on the other side of the bone mirror fell into silence once more.

After a long time, the killing intent locking onto Ye Qingyu slowly receded.

The Moon Goddess's voice also softened considerably.

"This seat simply needs to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence. This is a grave matter, and I must be cautious."

She was finding a way to save face.

"Speak. Tell this seat everything you know. If the information is true, once I obtain the Falling Star Disk, I will surely credit you with the top achievement, help you reconstruct your dao foundation, and perhaps even bestow an Immortal Lord Dao Fruit upon you."

A slap followed by a sweet date.

She played the art of imperial manipulation quite smoothly.

Su Yun, hiding in the shadows, almost laughed out loud.

This woman had completely fallen into the pit they dug and was starting to follow their script.

Through the Divine Thought threads, Zi Yun transmitted the prepared explanation to Ye Qingyu piece by piece.

Only then did Ye Qingyu "reluctantly" turn her head and look back at the bone mirror.

In a tone mixed with resentment and bitterness, she said haltingly:

"The true Legacy of the Star-Moon Holy Land is not in the Holy Temple at all, but beneath this underground palace. And the key to opening the Legacy is the Falling Star Disk."

"That Falling Star Disk is suppressed within a Dragon-Locking Well in the deepest part of this underground palace, guarded by the remnant Souls of the Holy Land's past Holy Lords."

"In just seven more days, once that bastard Su Yun completely refines the Holy Land's Luck, he will gain the recognition of the remnant Souls, take out the Falling Star Disk, and become the rightful new master of the Star-Moon Holy Land..."

These words were ninety percent truth and ten percent lies.

A mix of truth and falsehood made it extremely difficult to distinguish.

"Dragon-Locking Well... remnant Souls of past Holy Lords..." the Moon Goddess muttered in a low voice, seemingly verifying the intelligence.

Seeing that the timing was right, Su Yun immediately shot a glance at Zi Yun.

It was time to add more fuel to the fire, leaving her no time to think about any loopholes.

Zi Yun understood perfectly.

In the next moment, the entire dungeon space suddenly shook violently.

Rumble!

The rock ceiling above began to crack, and large chunks of debris mixed with soil fell down.

From the direction of the dungeon entrance came bursts of deafening explosions and faint sounds of battle cries.

"Oh no! It's Su Yun! He discovered that I can contact the outside world!"

"He wants to destroy this place and kill everyone to silence them!"

Ye Qingyu's face showed an expression of extreme terror. She held her head and let out bursts of desperate screams.

These sound effects and vibrations were, of course, simulated by Su Yun using the Law of the map of mountains and rivers, but their realism was enough to pass for the real thing.

"Master! Quick! Think of something! Any later and it will be too late!"

Ye Qingyu used all her strength to roar at the bone mirror.

Extreme pressure, immense temptation, and a fleeting window of time.

The combination of these three was enough to make any conceited powerhouse make the most irrational judgment.

Greed, in the end, triumphed over reason.

On the other side of the bone mirror, the Moon Goddess finally stopped hesitating.

"Useless thing, you can't even stall for this little bit of time!"

She barked coldly, though her voice carried a hint of unmaskable decisiveness.

"Listen, I will now consume a portion of my Origin to forcibly open a temporary passage, using the Divine Soul mark within your body as a coordinate!"

"This passage can only last for ten breaths at most! And it can only accommodate the descent of a single wisp of my soul clone!"

"You must do everything in your power to hold the entrance of the passage! Once my soul clone descends, I will personally retrieve that Falling Star Disk!"

"If you fail, you know the consequences!"

The Moon Goddess's voice was cold and urgent, filled with unquestionable command.

She thought that since she was only sending a soul clone, even if there was a trap, the loss would only be a bit of Origin, which was no big deal.

But if she succeeded, the benefits gained would be immeasurable.

In her eyes, this gamble was a guaranteed win.

But she didn't know that she was about to step into not some underground palace of the Star-Moon Holy Land, but a slaughterhouse custom-made for her from which there was no escape.

The corners of Su Yun's mouth slowly curled into a cruel arc.

The fish couldn't wait to jump onto the chopping block itself.

As her voice fell, the surface of the bone mirror erupted with brilliant light.

A power of Law belonging to a high-ranking being, pure to the extreme, burst forth.

Ripp—

The space above the dungeon seemed to be violently torn open by an invisible giant hand.

A spatial passage constructed of pure deep-blue Law energy, radiating a heart-chilling coldness, forcibly pierced into this world within the painting.

The other end of the passage was endless darkness and Chaos.

A terrifying aura belonging to a high and mighty Immortal Lord was rapidly approaching through the passage.

"Hold the passage, this seat... is coming!"

The Moon Goddess's icy voice resounded throughout the entire cage.
