AWB Chapter 249 He made a spur-of-the-moment decision and left on a whim.
Chapter 249 He made a spur-of-the-moment decision and left on a whim.
Now, Zhong Lingxin has put forward an idea that coincides with his own.
After some discussion, the two quickly devised a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
Not long after, the Qingyun Sect sent a message to the Taixu Sect: Zhong Lingxin was willing to talk to Hei Ziming.
The news was spread covertly, but it soon reached all the sects and associations of the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Upon receiving the news, Hei Ziming threw his head back and burst into wild laughter.
He knew it, he knew it all. No one, seeing their own family members being tortured and trembling, would refuse to save their own family members in order to help outsiders.
However, the initiative was in his hands, and he changed his demands. He wanted Zhong Lingxin to lead him directly to capture the Long family members, instead of asking for information about them.
As for his request for information about the Long family, everyone else wants it, so let's give them one.
Give them a fake one.
Haha, give them a fake one.
The real members of the Long family had to be captured by Zhong Lingxin herself.
Upon seeing Hei Ziming's reply, Zhong Lingxin naturally rejected it angrily, accusing Hei Ziming of being untrustworthy and going back on his word.
Sect Leader Lu could only reluctantly send someone to deliver another message to Hei Ziming.
Hei Ziming bluntly stated that he would either accept it or let her brother suffer to death.
A few days later, Sect Leader Lu sent another message to Hei Ziming, this time in a much softer tone.
A few days later, Sect Leader Lu sent another message to Hei Ziming, this time pleading with him to show leniency.
A few days later...
In short, Zhong Lingxin's tone softened with each message, and she even included gifts in her messages.
These repeated messages were all spread throughout the major and minor sects and associations of the Immortal Spirit Continent in a covert manner.
Sect Leader Lu held a list of people who had sent messages, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
He thought that after his repeated screening, most of the traitors should have been caught.
The few that weren't caught were deliberately left to lure in bigger fish.
Unexpectedly, with the help of a well-hidden traitor and bribed with spirit stones, a long list of traitors within the Qingyun Sect was compiled.
Despite the urge to vomit blood, Sect Leader Lu continued to send messages to Hei Ziming again and again, albeit in a furtive manner.
Hei Ziming was extremely annoyed by these tedious and drawn-out messages, but he gradually found enjoyment in them.
Because Zhong Lingxin's attitude was softening little by little, she was pleading more and more, and she was giving him more and more gifts.
Gradually, he began to actively ask for it. From 100,000 spirit stones to some rare spiritual herbs, including the Qinglian Dan formula created by Zhong Lingxin herself.
Zhong Lingxin was not about to give it to him readily; she had to beg and plead every time, sending messages back and forth.
Hei Ziming really enjoyed the pleasure of being begged.
He had enjoyed himself countless times in his life, but the time he injured Zhong Muyuan was the most exhilarating, so exhilarating that he couldn't stop and even forgot his original purpose.
Three or four months passed in the blink of an eye.
Hei Ziming had been having a great time lately, but then he suddenly heard some unpleasant news.
One of his own nephews passed on a message from Sect Master Lu and embezzled one of the magical treasures.
This magical artifact was obtained by Zhong Lingxin from an ancient battlefield; it was a fragment of armor.
Zhong Lingxin knew that Hei Ziming had extremely high attack power but relatively weak defense due to his spiritual root, so she gave him a fragment of armor, hoping that he would be lenient.
Hei Ziming was furious upon hearing this news.
Over the years, he has been collecting materials for armor, hoping to forge a ninth-grade armor for protection.
Little did they know, a fragment of armor from an ancient battlefield was stolen by their own people right under their noses.
Hei Ziming was furious and set off to return to his family.
He wanted to severely punish his own descendants as an example to deter others.
He wanted his descendants to understand that only they would come to show him respect, not to steal from or covet him.
Of course, Hei Ziming was shrewd, and the news of his return to his family was kept strictly confidential.
He made the decision on a whim, leaving whenever he felt like it.
What he didn't expect was that this was a scheme arranged for him by Zhong Lingxin.
From initially sending him messages to gradually softening their attitude, offering him precious cultivation resources, and promising to search for cultivation resources for him within a limited time, all of this was done to lure him out and deliver a fatal blow.
Hei Ziming believed he knew Zhong Lingxin very well. The Taixu Sect had recorded everything that happened to Zhong Lingxin after she joined the Qingyun Sect, including the fact that Zhong Lingxin possessed Master Long's ninth-grade array plate.
Two of these array plates are now in Hei Ziming's possession.
Both Hei Ziming and Taixu Sect believed that the ninth-grade array plate was Zhong Lingxin's most powerful magic weapon.
Zhong Lingxin has no ability to harm Hei Ziming.
Even with the help of the Qingyun Sect's tribulation-crossing cultivators, Hei Ziming still has the ability to escape, and might even be able to kill the Qingyun Sect cultivators in return.
In this confident state, Hei Ziming used two teleportation arrays and returned to his family's territory.
Just as he entered his family's territory, Zhong Lingxin, who had been waiting outside, activated the trapping and killing formation.
This time, Zhong Lingxin used a poison pill.
These poison pills were refined by Zhong Lingxin from the evil energy collected from Dragon Island, combined with the mirage poison she collected in the South China Sea, and several poison pills that Uncle Xuanyuan gave her back then.
Yes, Zhong Lingxin did not refine these poison pills herself. Instead, she used the method taught by Zhong Chun to mix them together and let them sit for several months until they naturally mixed together.
As for the antidote, Zhong Lingxin didn't know, nor did she intend to find out.
She simply mixed the most potent poisons she knew, and then asked a trusted elder of the Qingyun Sect to knead them remotely to create the so-called poison pill.
The old ancestor really wanted to keep one, but Zhong Lingxin gave him a fragment of a magic weapon to appease him.
Zhong Lingxin may not have much else, but she has the most fragments of magical artifacts on Dragon Island, so giving one away wouldn't be a loss.
The pitch-black evil poison, along with the hazy mirage poison and many other unknown toxins, mixed together and quickly permeated the entire territory of the Black Clan.
Zhong Lingxin was astonished.
Because the super-grade trapping formation was soaked in the sizzling sound, it showed obvious damage.
Feeling distressed, Zhong Lingxin increased her investment of spirit stones to try and extend the lifespan of the superior-grade trapping and killing formation.
My master has already ascended to heaven, and the top-grade trapping and killing formations she possesses are becoming increasingly rare.
Upon entering the clan's territory, Hei Ziming went straight to his own main hall and struck the cloud-shaped wooden board hanging high above the hall with a single palm strike.
As for the dim sky over his family's land, he was already used to it.
It's because their family has so many dark spiritual roots.
They like dim lighting.
The members of the Hei family did not understand why their family's cloud-shaped clappers were suddenly making a sound.
But they all knew that something big had happened in the family, so they hurriedly left their respective caves and headed to the family's council hall.
