197: Chapter 197 Blood Fiend Seeks Alliance with Poisonous Scheme, Moon Goddess Harbors Murderous Intent

Inside the vast and deathly silent Moon Goddess Palace, the atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point.

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord panted heavily, the blood-colored Devilish Qi surrounding him clashing with the holy, moon-white immortal light in the hall, producing a "sizzling" sound.

His eyes were as red as blood, staring fixedly at the Moon Goddess seated upon the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lotus Platform.

That gaze was filled with resentment, anger, and a trace of barely perceptible urgency.

"Moon Goddess, you..."

He was about to say something, but was abruptly cut off by a cold glare from the Moon Goddess.

"Blood Fiend, who gave you the audacity to barge into my Moon Goddess Palace?"

The Moon Goddess's voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year profound ice, devoid of any emotion.

Still seated upon the ice lotus, she looked down from above at the wretched Blood Fiend, her gaze like that of someone looking at an insignificant ant.

Having her romantic fantasies about her Master interrupted, and hearing that Blood Fiend dared to address her Master directly by name with intent to plot against him...

The killing intent in the Moon Goddess's heart had reached its boiling point.

Had she not been mindful that this was the Heaven Burial Palace, she would have slapped this reckless fool to death right now!

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord was so infuriated by her haughty attitude that his chest heaved, and he nearly spat out another mouthful of blood.

To think that he, the dignified Blood Fiend Divine Lord, had ever endured such humiliation?

But at the thought of his purpose for coming, he forced down the rage in his heart.

"Moon Goddess, now is not the time to argue over such things!"

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I have come this time to discuss a collaboration with you!"

"Collaboration?"

Hearing this, the corners of the Moon Goddess's mouth curled into an extremely mocking arc.

"With you? Why would I collaborate with a waste who couldn't even handle a Lower Realm ant, and instead had his Clone destroyed and his Origin damaged?"

"You!"

At the Moon Goddess's words, the Blood Fiend Divine Lord's already pale face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

This was the greatest humiliation of his life!

And now, this woman, the Moon Goddess, had mercilessly ripped open the wound right in front of him!

"Moon Goddess! Do not push it too far!" the Blood Fiend Divine Lord growled through gritted teeth.

"Too far?"

The Moon Goddess gave a cold laugh and slowly stood up from the ice lotus, walking toward him step by step.

"I can be even more excessive. Do you want to try?"

As she approached, a terrifying pressure bore down on the Blood Fiend Divine Lord like a tidal wave.

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord's expression changed, and he instinctively tried to resist.

But he was horrified to discover that the Moon Goddess's pressure was now significantly stronger than before!

Within that pressure, there was even a trace of... an aura of a superior that made his heart tremble!

"Your... your cultivation..." The Blood Fiend Divine Lord looked at her in shock and uncertainty.

The Moon Goddess did not answer him. She simply walked up to him, stopped, and stared at him quietly with those cold eyes.

That gaze was filled with contempt and disdain.

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord's scalp tingled under her gaze, and more than half of the courage he had managed to muster instantly dissipated.

Enduring the humiliation of being mocked, he knew that continuing this standoff would do him no good.

Gritting his teeth, he finally set aside his ridiculous pride and threw out the bargaining chip he believed to be extremely tempting.

"Moon Goddess, I know you look down on me."

"But don't forget, that Lower Realm ant named Su Yun not only destroyed my Clone but also caused you to suffer a crushing defeat!"

"Furthermore, I have received news that the pawn you previously planted in the Star-Moon Holy Land, that Saintess named Ye Qingyu, seems to have also fallen into Su Yun's hands!"

At the mention of the name "Ye Qingyu," the Moon Goddess's eyes flickered imperceptibly.

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord keenly caught this. Overjoyed and knowing he had an opening, he struck while the iron was hot:

"You and I both know very well that Su Yun hides a great secret! Especially that item in his hand... even the Palace Master covets it, and now he even possesses a complete Lower Realm Heavenly Dao Origin Heart!"

"As long as we join forces and use the pawn Ye Qingyu to leak some half-true information about the Heaven Burial Palace to Su Yun, we can lure him out of that turtle shell and into the 'Ten Thousand Souls Blood Prison Formation' I have meticulously prepared!"

"Once the array is complete, even if he were a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he wouldn't be able to escape!"

"Afterward, Su Yun's miserable life will be mine! I only want to kill him with my own hands to vent my hatred and stabilize my Immortal Lord Dao Realm!"

"As for the Heavenly Dao Origin on him and all his secrets, they will all be yours! What do you say?"

The Blood Fiend Divine Lord grew more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see Su Yun being cut into a thousand pieces and his revenge being fulfilled.

He looked at the Moon Goddess expectantly, waiting for her response.

In his view, these terms were extremely generous.

There was no reason for the Moon Goddess to refuse.

However, he did not know...

...that while he was enthusiastically describing his "brilliant plan," a storm had already erupted in the Moon Goddess's heart.

But it was not a pleasant surprise; it was endless cold laughter and killing intent!

This fool!

He thought he was being clever, plotting how to hook the big fish that was her Master.

Little did he know that from the very first word he uttered, he had already stepped into the death trap her Master had prepared for him!

And he had jumped in of his own accord!

Truly... pathetic and laughable!

The Moon Goddess suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, her face maintaining its cold and aloof expression.

She feigned being moved by the "Heavenly Dao Origin" Blood Fiend mentioned and fell into deep thought.

But in her mind, she was frantically calculating at a terrifying speed.

Calculating how to beat him at his own game, taking this fool along with his so-called "Ten Thousand Souls Blood Prison Formation"...

...and gift-wrapping them as spoils of war to present to her Master!
