Chapter 31: Your Highness, Have a Drink...!:

(Tianluo City, City Governor’s Mansion)

The magnificent reception hall, adorned with gold and jade, spanned tens of thousands of square meters, resembling a small plaza.

In this hall, almost all the sects and families of various sizes within the Tianluo City have gathered.

With the arrival of Lin Ang, the Chief disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, the City Governor, Luo Kun, has opened a grand banquet, setting out luxurious banquet tables, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

Lin Ang sat at the head, receiving the worship and reverence from all the sects and family heads in the Tianluo City.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the hall, Luo Kun's youngest daughter, Luo Xinlian, trembled as she looked at Luo Kun and Luo Meixue from afar.

These two were once her closest people—Luo Kun, her father, and Luo Meixue, her sister!

However, starting about half a month ago, Luo Xinlian suddenly noticed that her father and sister seemed to have become completely different people!

Their gazes turned unfamiliar, even their attitudes toward her became extremely cold!

Their manner of speaking and actions had also completely changed!

They subjected her to all kinds of abuse!

The father and sister who once adored her now beat her every three days and subjected her to a severe beating every five days! Any slight dissatisfaction was met with punches and kicks!

She once tried to escape from the Governor’s Mansion, but Luo Kun caught her and gave her a vicious beating, warning her that if she dared to escape again, he would kill her!

“They... aren’t my father... they aren’t my sister...”

“Father... Sister... where are you??”

“Who are these two people really??”

The girl curled up, shivering. She was terrified... Throughout this ordeal, she had sent countless pleading glances to Lin Ang, but he hadn’t noticed her at all. In the end, Luo Xinlian could only shake her head.

“Why would the Chief disciple even notice me?”

“I’m really thinking too much...” Luo Xinlian sighed quietly.

(At the banquet)

Lin Ang inquired about the situation regarding the Blood Puppet Sect. The mere mention of the Blood Puppet Sect caused the atmosphere to turn somber.

Many exchanged worried glances, their faces full of dread... It was as if those three words were a taboo of the highest order.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke: “The leader of the Blood Puppet Sect is called Blood Fiend. He’s mysterious and unfathomable, likely having reached the Profound Core realm... In recent years, he’s stayed hidden, rumored to be practicing some forbidden technique that increases his power by absorbing human blood.”

“Currently, countless families and sects throughout Tianluo City have submitted to the Blood Puppet Sect and joined their ranks... That’s why we requested the intervention of Azure Cloud Sect. Otherwise, it won’t be long before the Blood Puppet Sect completely takes over Tianluo City!”

Hearing this, Lin Ang pondered for a moment, then sneered.

“From what it seems, the families and sects that have submitted to the Blood Puppet Sect, their leaders and masters, have all been turned into corpse puppets by the sect, while the other members of their families and sects remain unaware.”

Lin Ang’s expression was calm, as if he were discussing something entirely ordinary: “The Blood Puppet Sect killed disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. My purpose here is to annihilate the Blood Puppet Sect.”

Everyone in the hall was overjoyed upon hearing this.

They were so excited that they hurriedly asked, “When will the Azure Cloud Sect’s army arrive?”

“We are willing to act as the vanguard for the Azure Cloud Sect!!”

Lin Ang waved his hand: “One person is enough.”

At those words, everyone present froze for a moment...

One person??

Although Lin Ang had already stepped into the 1st stage Profound Core realm, the Blood Puppet Sect not only had its leader but also several deeply powerful elders!

There were at least four or five Profound Core experts!

Not to mention, they had over a thousand elite disciples!

Faced with such an array... could Lin Ang really handle it alone?

Could one person suppress an entire sect?

Yet no one noticed the faint glimmer of murderous intent that flashed across City Governor Luo Kun’s face the moment Lin Ang finished speaking.

In the distance, Luo Kun’s eldest daughter, Luo Meixue, smiled charmingly, holding a delicate jade cup.

In just a few steps, she was in front of Lin Ang, her voice soft and tender: “Your Highness~~~”

“Have a drink... After this drink, let me serve you tonight...”

As she spoke, a blush appeared on Luo Meixue’s delicate face.

Luo Meixue was already a top beauty. With such added charm, many men in the hall couldn’t help but swallow hard at the sight.

Heavens... who could resist this?

If it were someone else, they would have already taken the cup and drunk it down.

Lin Ang took the cup, held it up, and gently swirled it.

...

Name: A cup of fine wine fermented from second-grade spiritual fruits.

Black Fate. Gift of a Beauty: This wine contains a third-grade poison, even a grandmaster wouldn’t survive after drinking it.

...

Seeing this prompt, Lin Ang smiled.

If he were to die in the Governor’s Mansion, and that too in front of so many people, everyone would believe that the Governor’s Mansion was the mastermind behind everything.

Then, the Azure Cloud Sect would undoubtedly take their anger out on the Governor’s Mansion. The Blood Puppet Sect would then escape unscathed. Quite a deep plot.

Next to him, Luo Meixue saw Lin Ang raise the cup and spoke in an incredibly soft voice: “Your Highness... this cup of wine was specially prepared for you...”

However, before she could finish speaking, Lin Ang’s indifferent voice cut in: “Your acting is quite poor. So many flaws.”

Crash.

Luo Meixue’s delicate hand trembled, and the jade cup in her hand shattered. Her face was full of confusion and bewilderment: “Your Highness... I don’t understand what you’re saying...”

“Enough!”

Lin Ang frowned slightly and flicked his finger.

Swoosh!

His finger transformed into a sword, sending a wisp of sword Qi straight to Luo Meixue’s neck, leaving a trail of blood.

Thud.

Luo Meixue’s head instantly rolled off her shoulders! And then... it was seen!!

After Luo Meixue’s head separated from her body, her body rapidly shriveled up like a deflated balloon, as strands of spiritual Qi dissipated, as if cut from a kite string.

Just before this moment, someone else had been controlling Luo Meixue!!

“This...”

At this moment, everyone at the banquet was completely stunned!!

“Miss Luo was actually a puppet??”

“When did her real body die??”

Lin Ang’s gaze then turned to City Governor Luo Kun beside him. He spoke coldly: “And you as well.”

As Lin Ang spoke, a strand of his sword Qi pierced through Luo Kun’s head, leaving a large, bloody hole.

And Luo Kun...!!

Just like Luo Meixue, his body rapidly shriveled!!

“This...”

“The City Governor... was also a puppet??”

“...”

“...”
