Chapter 1138: Chapter 1123: Effective Jade Finger Scorpion Poison
To be honest, Ye Zhen’s plan was quite grand from the initial design. If it weren’t for several places where he used the situation to his advantage and let things flow naturally, it would have been difficult to achieve.
After planning for so long, the time to act finally arrived, and Ye Zhen felt quite nervous.
The experts from Stars Tower left at noon, but Ye Zhen spent most of the day recalculating the sequence of actions again.
Actually, compared to the initial plan, Ye Zhen’s current plan has already changed.
Ye Zhen’s initial plan was to sneak onto the island, take out one of the Dao Entrance Realm Kings stationed at Star Island using unconventional means while the main force was out, and when the Sky Wing Three Saints arrived, eliminate the other three Dao Entrance Realm entities, completely destroying Stars Tower.
However, after stepping onto Stars Tower, Ye Zhen discovered that its strength was not like he imagined.
There were as many as eight Dao Entrance Realm entities, while originally, dealing with just five was extremely risky. Now dealing with eight, any slight accident would make Ye Zhen and the Sky Wing Three Saints spend the rest of their lives unable to sleep peacefully.
The threat of mutual destruction can be the same for both parties sometimes.
Therefore, upon thoroughly understanding Stars Tower’s hidden strength after arriving at Star Island a few days ago, Ye Zhen quickly devised a new plan.
Of course, it could also be called a dual preparation!
It’s all up to luck now.
At midnight, when the whole Star Island became quiet and more than 80% of the people began cultivating, Ye Zhen silently and without a trace once again snuck underground.
Ye Zhen needed to confirm once more that four Dao Entrance Realm experts did leave; otherwise, acting on his own would be no different from seeking death.
If four Dao Entrance Realm experts left, then the remaining on Star Island would be four Dao Entrance Realm experts, though still four, their situations differ.
Both the Tower Chief and Fourth Tower Chief were in seclusion; unless it’s extremely urgent, no one dares to disturb them.
The remaining two Dao Entrance Realm experts should be former Tower Chiefs, a few ancestors of Stars Tower.
These two usually don’t manage things much. If Ye Zhen is lucky and deals with one of them, then it would be very achievable.
An hour later, Ye Zhen once again emerged from underground, returning to his own courtyard.
By this time, Ye Zhen felt like he was dancing on the tip of a knife, every step had to be extremely cautious, otherwise a single mistake would result in a fate of dying without a burial place.
According to Zhang Yi, there were as many as 2,000 Establishment Kings on the whole Star Island, among them over 500 were Mid to Late Establishment Realm Kings.
"Looks like success or failure will depend on tonight!"
With a low sigh, Ye Zhen began using jars and cans for disguise in his courtyard. Of the five Tower Chiefs in Stars Tower, Ye Zhen had seen them all, but he only dared to observe the secluded Tower Chief and Fourth Tower Chief from a distance.
Among the Second, Third, and Fifth Tower Chiefs suitable for disguise, only Second Tower Chief Huang Tan’s physique was similar to Ye Zhen’s, making it quite easy to disguise.
Just now, Ye Zhen left via Earth Escape to sneak into Second Tower Chief Huang Tan’s bedroom, stealing a few sets of his commonly worn clothing.
After some smearing and operations of Spiritual Power, Ye Zhen’s facial muscles and bones began to subtly change.
Fifteen minutes later, wearing orange clothing exuding noble aura, Second Tower Chief Huang Tan appeared in Ye Zhen’s bedroom mirror.
"Should be about right... need to test this disguise’s effect!"
As Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense sank into the Mirage Dragon Pearl within the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast Essence Soul Pearl, Ye Zhen’s figure again plunged into the ground.
A few breaths later, Ye Zhen appeared in a Silent Chamber where a martial artist was in seclusion.
In the Silent Chamber, a martial artist with a bushy beard was sitting cross-legged, arduously operating Spiritual Power around his body.
This person was precisely Zhang Yi, the Dark Tower Manager currently possessing and integrating the body.
Suddenly, Zhang Yi felt a dark sensation before him, abruptly feeling someone in front of him.
Instinctively, Zhang Yi opened his eyes with great effort. With just one look, Zhang Yi’s face changed drastically, "Second Young Master?"
"Greetings, Second Young Master, why are you here?"
Struggling to get up to pay respects, Zhang Yi’s expression suddenly froze, something was wrong.
The demeanor and aura of the Second Young Master Huang Tan in front of him felt different from usual.
As the manager of the Dark Tower, with subordinates skilled in disguise, his eyes were rather sharp in this aspect, so he immediately realized something was amiss.
However, Zhang Yi was not foolish.
If this Second Young Master before him was really fake, he had just possessed the body, barely able to control the body to stand, how could he fight?
With a movement of his Divine Sense, a warning Jade Talisman quietly appeared in his hand.
Bang!
Just as the warning Jade Talisman was about to be activated, ’Second Young Master Huang Tan’ pointed a finger to his forehead, causing Zhang Yi to immediately fall unconscious.
Afterward, Ye Zhen removed the storage ring from Zhang Yi, with Four-colored Innate Soul Light breaking in, the Divine Soul Imprint inside instantly shattered, causing the unconscious Zhang Yi’s body to tremble and his aura to become disordered.
After a probing session, Ye Zhen retrieved an exquisitely crafted silk bag from Zhang Yi’s storage ring.
It was the Spirit Beast Bag Ye Zhen previously encountered that could hold living people.
Zhang Yi, being one of the three Grand Stewards of the Dark Tower, was equipped with a Spirit Beast Bag.
When previously bringing back the pair of Death Soldiers posing as Ye Tiancheng couple, Zhang Yi hesitated to use the Spirit Beast Bag to hide his identity.
This was also the reason Ye Zhen targeted Zhang Yi first today; with this Spirit Beast Bag, Ye Zhen’s plan became easier. It was the discovery of the Spirit Beast Bag that allowed Ye Zhen to further modify his plan.
With a few casual gestures, Ye Zhen sealed Zhang Yi’s cultivation, Divine Soul Power and Spiritual Power simultaneously entered the Spirit Beast Bag, as the Spirit Beast Bag opened, Zhang Yi was thrown inside.
And even with a big living person thrown inside, the Spirit Beast Bag still remained the size of a palm.
"The time is a bit short. Although I can only pretend to be Second Tower Chief Huang Tan superficially, and can’t get the essence, at crucial moments, influencing others just for a moment is enough!" Murmuring this, Ye Zhen’s figure vanished again.
A few breaths later, Ye Zhen sneaked into the eastern mansion courtyard of Star Island, appearing in a Silent Chamber where a martial artist was cultivating.
This middle-aged martial artist, resembling Huang Tan slightly, was Huang Tan’s grandson, Huang Guhao, with Half-step Dao Cultivation, one of the five Young Tower Chiefs of Stars Tower, a successor to the next generation of Tower Chiefs, extremely important to Stars Tower.
Before their cultivation breakthroughs to Dao Entrance take place, they would cultivate on Star Island until the breakthrough to Dao Entrance, while also being among the five who received the most cultivation resources within Stars Tower.
Staying quietly underground, Ye Zhen remained patient, taking out a Supreme Spirit Sword personally refined by him, applying a drop of liquid carefully, and silently emerged from the ground.
Earth Escape inherently involves some degree of Spiritual Power fluctuations, Ye Zhen’s emergence was immediately sensed by the cultivating Young Tower Chief Huang Guhao, instantly awakening him.
"Hmm?"
Instantly, with eyes wide open, he instinctively palmed towards the rear.
At the same time, Ye Zhen’s Spirit Sword already slashed at him, and as Huang Guhao’s Protective Spirit Force emerged, the Spirit Sword had already sliced across his lower back.
In an instant, Huang Guhao’s complexion altered.
However, in mere moments, Huang Guhao’s expression turned utterly horrified!
The raised palm abruptly drooped lifelessly, his Divine Sense desperately urging, but both Spiritual Power and body refused his command.
As his body uncontrollably collapsed, he found even his eyelids wouldn’t obey, leaving him half-eyes-open.
Then, to his immense horror, he saw his father, his dad Huang Leng, swiftly seal his cultivation completely with several finger strikes and simultaneously boxed him into a prepared Spirit Beast Bag.
An overwhelmingly absurd feeling arose in Huang Guhao’s heart, at the same time everything before him plunged into darkness.
"This Jade Finger Scorpion Poison is indeed effective!" With a movement of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen once again plunged underground, rushing towards the next target!
