Chapter 289: Moon Fiend
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The cause of the matter and what had happened were very simple.
After parting ways with Lu Ming, Esek returned to the Corpse Race.
Of course, he needed to report everything that had happened in Archean City to his superiors.
Due to the fact that the way Esek broke through to the Ancient Realm was to fuse with the son of the Beast King—this involved the Corpse God’s previous research project.
As a result, Esek was personally summoned by the Corpse God.
In front of the Corpse God, it was natural that Esek gave an answer to whatever the Corpse God asked—he definitely had no reason to hide Lu Ming’s information.
As a result, the name Lu Ming could be considered to have caught the Corpse God’s attention.
Of course, there was no need for the Corpse God to pay too much attention to a mere Lu Ming. However, the Corpse God was one of the higher-ups of the subversives, and the biggest goal of the subverters was to collect the exotic beings in the Black Mist Zone.
Although Lu Ming, who could resist the power of the golden and silver patterns, was far from being an exotic being, he was indeed not an ordinary existence.
Therefore, Corpse God sent the information concerning Lu Ming to the information bank of the subversives.
Recently, the subversives were prepared to come out to the open.
A large number of subversives came out in full strength, either subduing exotic beasts or revealing their hidden forces. Moon Fiend had come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains this time under orders to contact the Black Mist Beast King.
After coming into contact with the Black Mist Beast King, Moon Fiend had a flash of inspiration and thought of Lu Ming, who was not considered an exotic being.
Moon Fiend was an ordinary member of the subversives.
Her strength was at the bottom of the Divine Spirit Realm, and she basically did not have any power or anything like that.
At this moment, seeing her colleagues walk from the dark to the open, one or two of them were either extremely powerful hidden factions or the gods of some second-rate or even first-rate large clans. Moon Fiend, this god who had no race or family, did not want to fall behind. She might as well start from recruiting Lu Ming and some others to build her own foundation.
To be honest, Moon Fiend was taking it for granted…
Now, she was only thinking of establishing a faction… How could a faction established in a short period of time be compared to a faction that had been managed for a long time?
However, there were hundreds of different gods.
Moon Fiend was one of those big-hearted and willful gods.
To put it bluntly, those who were lucky enough to snatch the first place of the Heaven Ascension Stairs did not match their strength and temperament at all. They could do whatever they wanted. To put it nicely, they were straightforward. To put it bluntly, they did not have the ability to make long-term plans at all.
At this moment, Moon Fiend probably was on a whim to take Lu Ming in as her subordinate, with an attitude that said, “Let’s take him in first. 1 haven’t thought about how to use him.”
“From now on, you’ll follow me.”
After saying this to Lu Ming, she looked at Lu Ming and said, “If you have any questions, tell me now. I’m very busy.”
Lu Ming’s heart tightened, but his expression did not change.
“What’s the name of our organization?”
He did not ask whether he could be her subordinate… This was because in the Black Mist Zone, the weak did not have the ability to refute the words and decisions of the strong unless they wanted to die.
Moon Fiend fiddled with her fingers in boredom and said, “You don’t need to know this. You’re only a reserve member of the organization after following me. When your strength reaches the standard, you’ll naturally know the name of the organization.”
Lu Ming took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart. He said, “Then what obligations and benefits do I have after following you?”
Moon Fiend was clearly stunned.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “The obligation is to complete the mission I gave you. The benefit is that you have a divine level backer.”
“I’ll help you deal with some things that you can’t do, and you have to help me deal with some small problems that 1 don’t have time to deal with.”
After saying that, Moon Fiend nodded, as if she was quite satisfied with her excuse.
Lu Ming thought about it and could not find anything wrong with it…
There was actually nothing inappropriate about such a superior-subordinate relationship.
Although from the beginning, Lu Ming did not want to be anyone’s subordinate…
“Also, what’s so different about my silver patterns?”
Lu Ming pulled open his clothes again, revealing the wavy silver patterns on his chest.
Seeing this, Moon Fiend said, “Ordinary Ancient Realm silver patterns don’t have the potential to further strengthen. However, your silver pattern seems to have the potential to continue strengthening. If the information is correct, a few months ago, your silver patterns should have been slightly weaker than ordinary protective silver patterns. However, now, the strength of your silver patterns is already not much different from ordinary protective silver patterns.”
Lu Ming asked, “What’s the reason?”
The awkward expression on Moon Fiend’s face disappeared quickly. Then, she said with a dark expression, “There’s no reason.”
“The Black Mist Zone is vast and boundless. Something abnormal will always happen. Your silver pattern is also an abnormality. As for the reason, you won’t understand even if 1 tell you.”
Lu Ming understood and did not ask further. Seeing this, Moon Fiend seemed to be afraid that Lu Ming would ask something she did not understand.
With a flip of her hand, a pure black token with complicated patterns appeared in her hand.
“This is the organization’s identity token. The token also has communication functions.”
“In the future, if I have anything, I’ll contact you through this token. Take good care of it.”
The token flew up and floated in front of Lu Ming.
Seeing this, Lu Ming took the token and saw Moon Fiend’s figure fade before gradually disappearing.
There was only her voice slowly entering Lu Ming’s ears.
“Your first mission.”
“As my contact with the Blackmond Beast King.”
“The token is the identity symbol. With the token, no exotic beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains will dare to attack you again.”
“In the future, if anything happens to the Blackmond Beast King, it will come here to look for you. Contact me with the token again. At that time, I’ll tell you what to do.”
It was not until the voice calmed down for a long time that Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was unknown what he was thinking.
Lu Ming sat back at the dining table and picked up the bowl and chopsticks. He ate and drank in large mouthfuls.
Roxin also sat beside Lu Ming and watched as Lu Ming ate crazily. After a moment, she said softly, “Is that really a god?”
Neither of them had seen a true god before. They only knew from the rumors that the god was powerful and majestic.
It was unknown if this Moon Fiend was powerful or not. It had nothing to do with majesty.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming replied, “If not a god, still a quasi god.”
In short, it was an existence that could not be resisted in terms of strength.
After eating, Lu Ming wiped his mouth and took out the black token with his slightly greasy hand.
Playing with the item in his hand, Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time. He did not know what he was planning…
At the side, Roxin spoke again, “Actually, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Brother Lu, you now have a god as your backer…”
Lu Ming replied, “The premise is that this god is really reliable and is willing to help me.”
After saying this, Lu Ming seemed to have made up his mind. He put away the token and stood up.
“I’ll go back to the house and continue cultivating. Roxin, I still need your help to keep a lookout. If that Blackmond Beast King comes looking for me, notify me immediately.”
Roxin nodded and said, “Sure..”
