The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 187
187. The Plan of That Noble
“Master, she’s coming over, what should we do…”
“Don’t panic, remember my instructions. Pretend to be injured and rest, I’ll have her take care of you, and then I’ll go search for the treasures myself.”
“Master, from her aura, her strength doesn’t seem strong, why do we need to pretend to be injured to deceive her? We could just kill her directly.”
Because Su Kexin was Lin Nuo’s junior sister, Ling Meng had long harbored the intention to kill her.
Lin Nuo: “…”
I mean, Meng, if we could kill her, what are we still doing here?
Moreover, your desire to eliminate her pleases me as your mentor, but you must act within your limits. As everyone knows, the protagonist and the antagonist have the same power surge at critical moments, and the antagonist is doomed to fail.
So, you must not overreach.
Lin Nuo spoke in a serious low voice:
“She is indeed weak, but we cannot let a weakling disrupt our grand plan. To kill her would be to startle the snake in the grass. No matter how much you resent her, you must keep her stable. This is a test of your emotional control.”
Hearing the word ‘test,’ Ling Meng ignited with determination. This was yet another challenge filled with her master’s high expectations, and she could not let her master down.
Just endure it a bit longer, hold that woman back.
Su Kexin hurried over, causing Lin Nuo and Ling Meng to cease their quiet conversation.
Lin Nuo asked, “Miss Su, are you injured as well?”
Su Kexin smiled, “Not at all, I’m just too weak and would only hold everyone back. The senior sister asked me to come in and take shelter.”
If you’re weak, then no one is strong. You should go out there, have an explosive moment, and single-handedly annihilate the opposition.
In this world, only Lin, the antagonist, knew of Su Kexin’s terrifying strength. Most people simply thought of Su Kexin as a prodigy in spirit cultivation, a promising seedling, who just needed more training to advance.
When she unleashes her power, even Dou Zong warriors would tremble, such is the terror that could twist space itself.
“Master Wu, may I join you?”
“By all means.”
Lin Nuo said evenly, gesturing for Ling Meng to sit aside, pretending to take her pulse as if he were a skilled physician.
“Dong Mian, prepare yourself, I will heal you.”
Lin Nuo sat cross-legged behind Ling Meng, channeling a bit of spirit energy as a show for Su Kexin. Ling Meng cooperated well, which meant staying silent, as speaking more would mean erring more.
Su Kexin observed Lin Nuo’s technique, which seemed seasoned and skilled, and she inwardly marveled at Wu Yingge’s many talents. Not only was he strong, but his medical skills were also impressive.
After a brief display of channeling spirit energy, Lin Nuo withdrew his hands and took a deep breath.
He said solemnly, “Alright, you’ve suffered internal injuries, and I’ve just adjusted your inner energy. However, you must not use your spirit energy now; you need to rest and recalibrate.”
Lin Nuo, still seated, rose slightly, stretching his shoulders and limbs, then turned to Su Kexin, “Miss Su, I fear that beasts may have infiltrated the sanctuary. I need to patrol the vicinity. Please take care of my disciple for the time being. If anything significant occurs, remember to shout, and I will return swiftly.”
“Sure, Master Wu, I will take good care of Miss Wu.”
Su Kexin nodded repeatedly, aware of her own limitations. Weak and a burden to the group, she could only do what was within her power, offering her modest assistance.
Lin Nuo waved his sleeve and left, turning his back on Su Kexin and Ling Meng. Now alone, he wondered if he could witness the glory of the Three Heavens Stone.
Given the current situation, if he could destroy the Three Heavens Stone, causing the entire sanctuary to explode and sink, then Su Kexin would surely not survive.
However, there were likely to be highly skilled sorcerers guarding the main body of the sanctuary, making this idea somewhat impractical.
Perhaps he could steal something else instead.
…
Atop the sanctuary, the Three Heavens Stone, which harnessed the power of three great spirit stones, shone with intense spiritual light as if sensing a disaster befalling the earth.
Before the stone stood two sorcerers in yellow robes, each holding an exquisite spirit wand.
These two were the last line of defense at this sacred altar, guarding the Tri-Day Stone as powerful sorcerers.
Now, they listened to the thunderous roars and clamor outside, their brows furrowed in deep concern.
“The bombing just now was indeed too sudden; I worry if they can hold on.”
“I’m afraid we’ll have to go out ourselves.”
“But if we both leave, who will guard the Tri-Day Stone?”
“No need to panic. The Tri-Day Stone has its own barrier, not easily broken. Moreover, a spirit spell has been cast within the stone. Should any outsider attempt to destroy or seize it, it will send us a message, and we can return in time.”
“That’s true, but I’m still worried.”
“If the outer defenses are breached, we too will struggle to hold.”
Boom!
The continuous booming from outside persisted, and they could imagine the fierce battle unfolding.
“Hmm? Is there a presence?”
“Yes, I’ve sensed it too. Go check it out; I’ll stay here.”
One sorcerer pointed in a direction, and the other nodded, walking over to see what was happening, wondering if a ferocious beast had made its way in.
From noble mtl dot come
He felt the presence was close, yet he couldn’t catch up, always maintaining a delicate distance from it.
What exactly was it?
He didn’t know, but he followed the presence, walking behind the sturdy wall of white silver.
There he saw it—a giant serpent, with two sharp fangs peeking from its mouth, exuding a strong spiritual aura.
“It seems a ferocious beast has indeed entered.”
As the fierce serpent lunged at the sorcerer, he raised his spirit wand and cast a thunder strike. The serpent exploded upon impact, its blood splattering everywhere, staining the sorcerer.
“How could a giant serpent have gotten in? If there were beasts, they should’ve come in droves.”
Puzzled, the sorcerer felt the presence fade, thinking it was just the one serpent.
Suddenly, he felt his movements slow, as if the spiritual energy flowing within him was being obstructed.
The snake’s blood was poisonous, capable of seeping through the skin and into the body.
He had to expel the poison.
The sorcerer did so with ease, feeling the flow of spiritual energy within him smooth once more.
But as he turned around, he saw his companion, the other sorcerer.
“Cangzhao, what’s happened to you…?”
“Heh.”
The sorcerer named Cangzhao flicked his finger, and in an instant, the other sorcerer’s vision darkened, losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground.
“Now, it’s done.”
Cang Zhao turned and left; now he must return to the sanctuary.
But he was not there to guard the Three-Day Stone; on the contrary, he was there to seize it.
He was the ‘sir’ mentioned by the old wizard, never a loyal sorcerer. His vigil at the sanctuary was but a wait for this moment to arrive.
The riot lured the sorcerer away, leaving the other to knock himself out.
Sorcerers are protected by spiritual energy, making immediate killing strenuous. However, inducing unconsciousness was still feasible.
The giant serpent was his summon, meant to draw the sorcerer over. Then, using the snake’s venom to rapidly infiltrate the body, with a slight enchantment, the sorcerer would succumb to unconsciousness. Meanwhile, the deadly toxin gradually depleted his protective spiritual energy, leading to his demise.
Now, he was alone, with no one left to stop him from taking the Three-Day Stone.
