198: Chapter 198 Feigning Compliance, Secretly Laying Out Plans

Inside the Moon Goddess Palace, a strange, deathly silence fell.

The Blood Fiend God Lord looked at the Moon Goddess nervously, his heart thumping uncontrollably.

This was the only chance he could think of to both exact his revenge and reclaim his dignity.

Success or failure depended entirely on the Moon Goddess's decision.

Meanwhile, the Moon Goddess kept her head lowered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly as if she were undergoing a fierce internal struggle.

She was weighing the pros and cons.

She was calculating the gains and losses.

She was... acting.

After a long time, just as the Blood Fiend God Lord was about to lose his composure.

The Moon Goddess finally looked up slowly, a perfectly timed trace of greed and determination flashing in her cold eyes.

"Good."

She spoke only a single word.

But to the Blood Fiend God Lord's ears, that word was nothing less than heavenly music!

"You... you agreed?"

The Blood Fiend God Lord was stunned, hardly able to believe his ears.

He had originally thought he would need to waste much more breath, perhaps even pay a greater price, to convince this haughty woman.

He hadn't expected her to agree so quickly!

It seemed the temptation of the "Origin of Heavenly Dao" was equally fatal to her!

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"

Once the Blood Fiend God Lord snapped out of it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, the heavy stone in his heart finally dropping.

He looked at the Moon Goddess and said with a laugh:

"Moon Goddess, you truly are a smart person! Rest assured, as long as we join forces, that brat Su Yun is as good as dead!"

"My 'Ten Thousand Soul Blood Hell Array' requires some special Materials to prepare; it will take about two months to set up."

"During these two months, you can use that pawn Ye Qingyu to probe for more information from Su Yun."

"The more we know about him, the higher our success rate in killing him!"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!"

The Blood Fiend God Lord grew more and more smug as he spoke, as if he were some peerless strategist who had everything under control.

He failed to notice the undisguised pity and mockery flashing deep within the Moon Goddess's cold eyes behind him.

Poor fool.

Death is at your doorstep, yet you're still gloating over your "brilliance."

You think you're on the fifth floor, calculating how to hunt my Master.

Little do you know, Master is already standing in the atmosphere, looking down on you like a clown as you walk step by step into a grave made just for you.

And I am the one digging that grave for you with my own hands.

In the hall, the two "smiled at each other," and for a moment, the atmosphere became incredibly "harmonious."

One thought he had found a powerful ally and that revenge was in sight.

The other was calculating in her heart what kind of posture she should use to make this ally die a more miserable death.

Each harbored their own sinister designs, with killing intent hidden beneath the surface.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

The Blood Fiend God Lord was satisfied and didn't want to stay a moment longer in this place that made him feel oppressed.

He cupped his hands toward the Moon Goddess in a brief greeting, then turned and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, leaving the Moon Goddess Palace in a hurry.

He was going to prepare the Materials and set up his killing array that was enough to look down upon the heavens!

Watching the departing figure of the Blood Fiend God Lord, the cold mask on the Moon Goddess's face finally crumbled.

"Heh."

A cold laugh filled with disdain and mockery escaped softly from her crimson lips.

She slowly turned around and walked back toward the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Lotus Platform.

But this time, she didn't sit down.

Instead, she waved her jade-like hand.

Hum—

That ancient bone mirror appeared before her once again.

She looked at her own beautiful and cold face in the mirror, but in her eyes burned a fire of unprecedented fervor.

That fool Blood Fiend had given her a massive surprise.

A grand "gift" that would be enough for her to claim great merit before her Master!

She was already impatient.

Impatient to personally present this "gift" to her Master!

Impatient to see that look of appreciation in Master's eyes when he received this "gift"!

"I must report this to Master immediately!"

The Moon Goddess extended her slender finger and, with a touch of pilgrimage-like devotion, lightly tapped the surface of the bone mirror.
