A Night of Desperation-Chapter 584: Seed Two

"Shut up! You don’t understand anything, know nothing! You worthless pieces of trash, all you do is harm people! You get innocent people killed and then just leave!!" Yan Wei erupted with rage.

She remembered why her parents died;it was because during the pursuit of the resistance by the Yinluo, internal conflict arose, and the aftermath of their confrontation destroyed a residential area.

Later, she chose to forgive the Yinluo, which briefly gained her much fame.

But now...

"It’s all your fault! Everything is your fault! All of it, all of it, aaaah!!!" With red eyes, Yan Wei fully activated her Life Armor, gathering into a silver torrent, fiercely charging at the man before her.

Boom!!

A loud explosion.

Everything blurred before Yan Wei’s eyes.

Suddenly, she realized that the human man who was a member of the Moon Palace a moment ago had turned into a terrified Yinluo wearing white armor!!

This was the guide who had released her from prison!

"Yan Wei!! Are you insane!? What the hell are you doing! Stop immediately!!" The other party roared furiously, also commanding a silver metal torrent to block the attack.

She had just been explaining the specific precautions to Yan Wei, conveying the prince’s deep trust in her. Unexpectedly, the next second, Yan Wei suddenly attacked, bursting out with intense spiritual power, using the Life Armor to ferociously strike.

Unprepared, she only managed to block a small portion of the damage, the rest of the impact completely hitting her chest.

She spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, severely injured.

"What’s going on!? What is this!!??" Yan Wei realized something was wrong, instantly stopping her attack, standing dazed on the spot.

Looking at the exasperated white Yinluo, for a moment, a deep-seated and immense fear surged from an unknown place, pulling her into suffocating waters.

Her heart sank rapidly, sinking.

"Capture her, attacking a superior officer, recklessly attacking a military official! Yan Wei, you’re dead!!" The other’s screams seemed to float from afar.

Yan Wei went numb, completely giving up resistance, standing dumbfounded in place. Letting the surrounding soldiers charge up and press her down hard.

"Look. This is your true self." The man’s voice sounded again in her ear.

Bang bang!

Yan Wei’s head was struck twice, her consciousness gradually blurred.

In a blur, she saw, behind the white Yinluo, a tall, strong figure standing there, silently watching her.

That figure was the man who had just been talking to her.

"You’ve been running from it for too long, so much so that your inner self has condensed into a me that desperately wants to resist." The man’s voice sounded clearly in her heart.

"You’ve placed everything on me, all the guilt on me. Subconsciously, you think women are less aggressive than men, so you’ve projected my image as a strong male."

"You want to resist like the rebels and seek revenge for your family. But you don’t want to destroy everything around you now. So you made me a member of the so-called resistance force."

The man’s voice, like a sharp spike, pierced deeply into Yan Wei’s heart.

"But you forgot, I am still you... Everything I do is merely a fantasy when you imagine it, but when you can’t distinguish fantasy from reality...."

The man laughed.

"What I do, is what you do."

Bang!!

Vaguely, Yan Wei heard a larger explosion beside her.

It seemed that someone was screaming, someone was scared, howling in anger.

She lost control of her body, only faintly smelling the scent of blood in her nostrils.

Outside the small town.

Yu Hong stood on a thick ancient tree, gazing at the massacre happening in the town.

Yan Wei, with her eyes closed, was controlling the components of her Life Armor, recklessly slaughtering the approaching armed soldiers and a few Yinluo.

"The Life Armor components she possesses seem quite powerful." Yu Hong mused.

"Indeed, it appears to have been taken from a set of high-grade armor and modified." Quan He confirmed via transmission. "I’ve got some leads on the armor core’s conversion system, but many materials are insufficient for experimentation. If you can get more than ten sets of Life Armor, I should be able to disassemble and restore it within a year."

"Are you talking about the vitality conversion system or energy?"

"Vitality conversion. We have sufficient substitutes for energy;the core issue is still vitality," Quan He replied.

"Ten sets, huh? Got it." Yu Hong nodded.

"How do you plan to deal with this Yan Wei?" Quan He asked again.

"When she figures out her true will, it will be the beginning of her being given enough power." Yu Hong smiled. "At that time, if she can stabilize here, we can also use this place as a base to supplement vitality."

"Though I don’t know how you did it, this child is already very pitiful, don’t go too far." Quan He sighed.

After investigating Yan Wei’s background, she also sighed.

"I did nothing, just a little guidance for her to see her true self." Yu Hong replied with a smile.

At this moment below, Yan Wei had already started fighting with the surrounding military.

Her movements were extremely fast, her figure flashed, piercing through dozens of bodies;any attack evasion couldn’t delay her slaughter.[/p>

Blood and corpses were strewn around. Half a minute later.

When the last escaping armed soldier fell before Yan Wei.

She trembled, looking at her right hand...

The intense fear of the future, combined with the massive pleasure surging inexplicably in her heart, made her flush all over, a faint pink appearing on her pale face.

"I must be crazy." She smiled, kneeling on the ground with a thud, grasping her trembling right hand.

"But... it feels like I’m going to die..."

The pleasure slowly subsided, replaced by tremendous fear that the Yinluo people would soon discover and start hunting her.

"So, we should leave." The man’s voice came again from behind her.

"Who the hell are you?" Yan Wei wasn’t a fool;there was no way she could believe the absurd claim that he was herself.

"I am who you wish to become." Yu Hong replied with a smile. "You can call me, Mentor."

Bang.

Before Yan Wei could react, her mind went blank, and she fell into a daze once more.

In the safe house.

Yu Hong and Quan He watched Yan Wei lying on the bed in the hall.

"Her wounds are all healed. Surprisingly, the Yinluo’s Life Armor didn’t seal her, which took me by surprise," Quan He said softly.

"It’s best not to leave too many of our traces on her, to avoid being discovered by the Yinluo people," Yu Hong reminded.

"Rest assured, I just left a simple mark, to help us find her as quickly as possible. But her power is still too weak, how do you plan to strengthen her? Otherwise, she might get killed by the Yinluo people too quickly," Quan He asked curiously.

"I’ll give her something. If she can survive it, then with this armor piece... we’ll see how much she can grow." Yu Hong reached out, a small black metal box inexplicably appearing in his palm.

Click.

The box opened to reveal an Outer Eye he had previously used.

He planned to see if his restorative power could forcibly transplant the Outer Eye into someone else.

Essentially, his Outer Eyes were meant for his use only, due to the exclusivity of the Black Mark.

But the workaround was simple - first, use Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill to make Yan Wei a puppet, then transplant the eye, and finally release her from being a puppet.

Then use his healing ability to help her through the adaptation period.

An hour later.

A blood-stained white cloth covered Yan Wei’s face, and Yu Hong withdrew his hand.

"It went smoothly. Her willpower was indeed as strong as I anticipated, and she easily overcame the rejection reaction."

"Should we send her out now?" Quan He asked.

"Yes, I have controlled some people with cultivation techniques, specifically to cooperate with her to form the Moon Palace. If everything goes well, she should be able to make the Yinluo suffer a bit. When they can’t withstand it, they will surely seek help from the forces behind them," Yu Hong said.

"Then we will see what stands behind the Yinluo," Quan He nodded.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"What if there is nothing behind them?"

"Then we consume them," Yu Hong replied, "Would you let a roast duck on the table go free into the forest?"

Quan He hesitated slightly.

She watched Yu Hong step forward and touch Yan Wei’s brow with a finger.

Then Yan Wei got out of bed herself, still wearing the tight military uniform she had worn during the massacre.

The two of them walked out of the safe house, one after another, and with a flash of mana, they disappeared together.

Soon after, Yu Hong entered alone.

"Everything is set up, now we wait to see how far Yan Wei can go." His face showed a hint of anticipation.

"That girl, repressed for so long, once triggered, having mastered enough power to act unscrupulously... it’s going to be troublesome," Quan He thought briefly and realized the complications.

Yan Wei had long harbored immense hatred toward the Yinluo people, and once that anger and hatred, repressed yet so present on the surface, was unleashed...

"I gave her a little external force, to prevent her from being ambushed when things go too smoothly. It shouldn’t be a big problem," Yu Hong explained, misunderstanding Quan He’s concern. "And give her some guidance at critical moments."

"As long as you know what you’re doing," Quan He said, speechless.

The two returned to their cultivation, while Yan Wei, now modified, slowly woke up in an abandoned mountain building and began her journey of escape.

Just as Yu Hong had said, he no longer concerned himself with Yan Wei’s matters, only periodically releasing batches of his summons to act as members of the Moon Palace, continually assassinating Yinluo people and seizing Life Armor.

Over time, Yan Wei surprisingly established her own team, also calling it the Moon Palace, which quietly grew.

The situation on Flame Star grew more chaotic with the Moon Palace’s involvement, and the Yinluo people began deploying stronger armor bearers to the planet to investigate the matter.

Three months passed in a blink.

Just as the situation on Flame Star began to shift, Yu Hong’s integration of the Innate Body and Withered Body was nearing completion.

Both traits enhanced cultivation speed, and Yu Hong had long looked forward to seeing what kind of cultivation trait they could fuse into.
