Chapter 499 Acting, Being Set Up
Then, Canglang tossed Su Yang a storage ring.
Su Yang took the storage ring and probed it with her divine sense. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Alright! I'll take this job!"
Cang Meng, the First Elder, and the Second Elder: "..."
You accepted it already?!
It seems... it seems that Canglang was right.
The saying "wealth moves people's hearts" is truly exemplified perfectly in this fairy Su Yang...
Cang Meng made preparations very quickly. In less than half an hour, all the members of the Silver Moon Wolf clan had gathered on a flat area.
"Why did the clan chief gather us all here at once?"
The wolves all looked puzzled.
"Unless something terrible happens to our clan that threatens our entire community, we wouldn't be gathered here!"
"What happened?"
At this moment, a silver moon wolf said mysteriously:
"I heard... last night, our Elders Yin Rong, Yin Fang, and Yin Feng, as well as the Third Elder, all perished!"
"what?!"
"How can this be?!"
These words stirred up a tremendous wave in the hearts of the wolves.
"Who on earth was it?! Elder Yin Fang was a mid-stage seventh-tier demon lord, and the Third Elder was a late-stage seventh-tier demon lord! Who on earth could have killed them all?!"
“Our clansmen certainly have no motive for committing the crime. The only suspects are the three members of the Northern Region Tianxu Sect who returned from Qingqiu with our young master yesterday!”
"Outrageous! The Northern Domain Heavenly Ruins Sect is one of the five great Daoist sects, the dominant sect in the Northern Domain, yet they dare to disregard our Silver Moon Wolf Clan like this?!"
"Hmph! We must get an explanation from them!"
"That's right! They might be able to kill the Third Elder and the others, but our Silver Moon Wolf Clan still has a peak seventh-tier clan leader and an eighth-tier clan ancestor! How can we allow a few mere humans to bully us like this on our territory?!"
"Absolutely unforgivable!"
In an instant, the wolves were filled with extreme rage and wanted to tear Su Yang, Xia Yu, and Wan Fa to pieces!
Meanwhile, some Silver Moon Wolves had inscrutable eyes, sometimes frowning, sometimes puzzled, and sometimes cautious.
The next moment, Cang Meng, Cang Lang, and the eighth-level Tribulation Transcending Ancestor Chen Hui of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, who usually did not show himself in public, all appeared above with solemn expressions.
Upon seeing the three appear, the wolves immediately looked up, their faces extremely agitated and their eyes filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Ancestor Chenhui! Clan Chief! Young Master!"
"Chieftain, did you summon us here today because you captured those three despicable humans?!"
"Yes, yes! Those three despicable humans deserve to die! We treated them as honored guests, and they dared to slaughter four of our elders in one fell swoop!"
"..."
Hearing the wolves' anger below, Cang Meng glanced down coldly, then exchanged a look with Chen Hui, the old ancestor beside him. Both of their expressions were ambiguous.
Then, Cang Meng slightly raised his hand and said, "Silence!"
Suddenly, the noisy wolves below fell silent.
Cang Meng said again in a serious tone:
"I'm sure you all know what happened yesterday."
“Those three despicable humans attacked our clan without cause and even killed four of our elders in one go. Fortunately, Ancestor Chenhui and I joined forces to capture them alive.”
"Today, right here, Ancestor Chenhui will punish them to appease the spirits of the four elders who died unjustly yesterday!"
"Good! Let those selfish and hypocritical humans see! We, the Demon Realm, and our Silver Moon Wolf Clan, are not to be trifled with!"
"..."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Hui waved his hand, and Su Yang, Wan Fa, and Xia Yu were tightly bound by threads formed from magical power, appearing before everyone's eyes.
"These three have committed heinous crimes. Today, I must execute them to quell the wrath of my clan!"
"Do any of you three feel even a trace of remorse?!" Chen Hui stared at Su Yang and the other two with murderous intent in his eyes.
Wanfa sneered and loudly mocked, "Do you dare touch us? We are from the Northern Region Heavenly Ruins Sect!"
"If you dare to touch us, my Heavenly Ruins Sect will not let your Silver Moon Wolf Clan get away with it!"
As soon as Wanfa finished speaking, he was met with a barrage of curses from the wolves below.
Chen Hui's expression shifted unpredictably. After a long while, he slowly spoke:
"Even facing death, you show no remorse. In that case, I will grant your wish! Do you think that being a member of the Heavenly Ruins Sect is a get-out-of-jail-free card?"
"Heh heh, then let's see today whether I dare to touch you or not!"
Then, Chen Hui waved her hand.
Suddenly, three golden prisms appeared behind Su Yang and the other two.
The three golden spikes slowly approached the three people's backs.
Su Yang, who had remained silent, paid no attention to the golden spikes slowly approaching her from behind; she simply stared intently at the pack of wolves below.
Just as the thorn was about to touch his back, a playful glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes, and then he suddenly spoke:
"We've finally found you all!"
boom!
The magical threads binding Su Yang were rendered useless, and Su Yang broke free in an instant.
In an instant, countless high-speed spinning silver scimitars appeared around Su Yang.
With just a thought, Su Yang sent those rapidly spinning silver scimitars hurtling downwards in an instant.
These silver scimitars were not aimless, but rather targeted specific Silver Moon Wolves within the pack.
Seeing Su Yang's swift actions, Cang Meng and Chen Hui naturally took notice as well.
Their eyes turned cold and sharp as they unleashed their attacks, heading towards the direction of Su Yang's attack.
This scene startled the wolves below.
What's going on with their clan leader and ancestor?!
Weren't they supposed to execute these three damned humans? Why the sudden change of heart?!
Meanwhile, some of the Silver Moon Wolves that were locked onto by Su Yang's silver scimitar looked panicked.
They only now realize that they've been set up!
"Chi chi chi chi!"
"Chi chi chi chi!"
"......"
Countless insect chirps echoed through the sky.
Moments later, dozens of insectoids of various species and enormous size burst out of the wolf pack, attempting to flee into the distance.
Flying centipedes, black beetles, sky-splitting butterflies, mantises, and even many other species that Su Yang had never seen before.
Su Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.
She continued to control the silver scimitar formed from the silver soul insects, using her chaotic spiritual power to attack the insectoids.
Chen Hui, standing to the side, snorted coldly.
"Trying to escape?! Do you think you can just come and go as you please with my Silver Moon Wolf clan?!"
"You dare to scheme against my Silver Moon Wolf Clan? You're courting death!"
The moment Chen Hui finished speaking, his figure vanished.
When his figure reappeared, it was discovered that he had split into dozens of figures at some point, and their auras were in no way weaker than that of the original.
Chen Hui seemed genuinely enraged. Facing the fleeing insectoids, he exerted all his strength, determined not to leave a single survivor.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the insectoids that parasitized the Silver Moon Wolf Clan were wiped out by Chen Hui.
Chen Hui looked at the mountain of Zerg bodies before him, and silver spiritual flames emanated from his palm.
These damned Zerg have managed to infect so many of his people right under his nose!
If his own Mahayana patriarch in the Land of the End finds out, how will he explain it!
Those damned Zerg! They really deserve to die!
Just as Chen Hui was about to burn the insectoid corpses to ashes with his own natal spirit flame, Su Yang's voice came.
"Senior Chen Hui, wait!"
Upon seeing that it was Su Yang, Chen Hui's icy gaze softened.
"Young friend Su Yang, what trouble have these insectoids gotten into this time?"
Su Yang quickly shook her head, "Senior Chen Hui, these insect corpses are excellent materials for refining weapons. If you just burn them like this, you'll be making a huge loss!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui tilted his head in confusion.
"Weapon forging? Good materials?"
"The powerful physical bodies of my demon race are our best weapons; we don't need to refine them at all."
"Since you say these Zerg corpses are valuable, then these corpses are yours."
Chen Hui waved his hand dismissively.
Su Yang accepted Chen Hui's generosity without any hesitation.
The demon race reveres physical cultivation; their powerful bodies, claws, and teeth are their natural weapons for combat.
Most demons have never even touched upon the art of weapon crafting that their human race possessed.
Since Chen Hui had said so, she naturally wouldn't refuse his good intentions.
"Young friend Su Yang, would you like to take another look? Are there any members of our Silver Moon Wolf clan still infected by the insectoids?"
"The main problem is that these insectoids are too cunning and their methods are too unpredictable. For the safety of my Silver Moon Wolf clan, I am really not at ease."
"There are other places in my clan that I would like to trouble Fairy Su Yang to conduct a more detailed inspection, in order to prevent any remnants of the insect race from remaining."
Su Yang readily agreed.
Not to mention that the items in the storage ring that Cang Meng gave her earlier were quite valuable, it also gave the Silver Moon Wolf clan face.
Most importantly, exposing these insectoids can minimize future troubles and indirectly grant her a large amount of merit and golden light. Why not?
Just then, a dense golden light of merit descended from the sky, enveloping Chen Hui and Su Yang.
Chen Hui suddenly felt such a large amount of golden light of merit surging into his body, and his pupils shrank involuntarily.
"This...this golden light of merit???"
"Young friend Su Yang, you..."
Su Yang nodded, feigning surprise. "Senior Chen Hui, you felt it too?"
Chen Hui murmured in astonishment, "I never imagined... that killing the Zerg would grant me golden merit points..."
******
Cang Meng then led Su Yang and the others on a thorough tour of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan's territory.
Upon investigation, Su Yang's Silver Soul Insects did indeed uncover some remnants of the insectoid race.
The Silver Moon Wolf Clan's sacrificial site.
"Fairy Su Yang, this is the sacrificial ground of my Silver Moon Wolf clan! It's protected by layers of restrictions, how can we allow the insectoids to sneak in?!"
Cang Meng was still somewhat skeptical; his tightly furrowed brows were enough to trap a fly.
Su Yang looked helpless: "My spirit insects did indeed sense the aura of the insect race here. If Chief Cang Meng doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Finally, Cang Meng reported the matter to Chen Hui, who then made the decision, and Su Yang and the others entered the Silver Moon Wolf Sacrifice Ground.
As soon as Su Yang and the others entered, her Silver Soul Insects became unusually restless.
Su Yang was surprised.
Her silver-souled insects have never shown any signs of this before...
What is so terrifying about the Zerg here?
Su Yang glanced at the sacrificial ground of the Silver Moon Wolves; the air was thick with death.
Furthermore, the bodies of every deceased member of the Silver Moon Wolf clan are kept here, and due to the Silver Moon Wolf's unique talent, the Yin energy here is exceptionally concentrated.
It was damp, cold, and there was something else that made Su Yang uncomfortable.
"Young friend Su Yang, is there really anything strange about this sacrificial site?" Chen Hui asked.
Su Yang's gaze turned serious as she released her Silver Soul Insects to search the entire sacrificial ground.
Finally, Su Yang pointed to the deepest part of the sacrificial ground, where a complete, enormous white bone of a silver moon wolf stood.
"Under that piece of white bone!"
Chen Hui and Cang Meng followed Su Yang's finger and looked in the direction she was pointing. When they saw what Su Yang was pointing to, their expressions changed drastically in an instant.
"This is the skeleton of the Silver Moon Ancestor..."
Silvermoon was the greatest ancestor of the Silvermoon Wolves.
Back then, the Silver Moon Wolf clan was not one of the five top demon clans in the Demon Realm. If it weren't for the Silver Moon's sudden emergence, its bloodline mutated, and its heaven-defying talent...
During his lifetime, he accumulated a great deal of resources for the Silver Moon Wolf clan and also found a way to purify the bloodline of the Silver Moon Wolf clan.
Silver Moon could have ascended to the Immortal Realm, but for the sake of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan's development, she refused to ascend until the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, when her time was drawing near.
With the groundwork laid by Silver Moon, the Silver Moon Wolf clan gradually rose to become one of the five top demon clans in the Demon Realm...
Su Yang had also vaguely seen the name Yin Yue in books.
However, now was not the time to hesitate. Her Silver Soul Insect sensed a terrifying aura beneath the Silver Moon's skeleton.
"Seniors Chenhui and Cangmeng, there is the aura of the insect race beneath those white bones."
Chen Hui and Cang Meng stared at the skeleton of the silver moon, hesitating to make a move.
After a long while, Chen Hui finally made up his mind.
He unleashed a powerful burst of magic, swiftly striking the skeleton of the Silver Moon.
Bang!
Centered on the skeleton of the silver moon, the area within several miles was completely leveled, forming a huge crater.
Silver Moon's skeleton was also scattered and broken into pieces in the soil.
As the smoke and dust cleared, they were all filled with nausea when they saw the state of the giant crater.
Inside the enormous pit, hundreds of millions of insect eggs were wriggling.
There are also a large number of hatched but immature Zerg.
They were horrifying, covered in dark green bloodstains that reeked of a foul stench.
"vomit!!"
The weakest of the weakest, the Azure Wolf, couldn't hold back any longer and vomited on the spot.
Chen Hui tried hard to calm himself down, but his pale face and the tightly clenched fists under his sleeves betrayed him.
"So...so many insect eggs..."
"My Silvermoon Wolf Clan's sacrificial grounds, where countless of my people are buried, are now being used as nourishment by these damned insectoids..."
