IUD-CHAPTER 329 VALDA-VAOTH

"Buzz——!"

The pitch-black radiance, like a swamp of darkness, swallowed Fang Li whole, leaving no trace behind. Within this darkness, Fang Li felt a surge of power invading his mind, as though an unseen hand were relentlessly probing and stirring.

"…!"

Fang Li immediately experienced a severe headache attacking his consciousness. However, in stark contrast to the intense pain, he remained unusually calm.

He had anticipated this situation when he chose to speak up. After all, exposing the woman's secret to the world would bring about significant trouble.

So, once any hint of his secret was revealed, the woman had used this method to erase any potential threats.

"Erasing memories, is it?" Fang Li thought.

The enveloping darkness that shrouded Fang Li's entire body was a form of interference, a mind ability. What made it particularly astonishing was that it affected Genestellars. This was something that would surprise any Genestellar, as mind interference abilities were typically ineffective against them.

This type of ability was often hindered by Prana and Mana, and the hindrance effect was substantial. Therefore, mind abilities generally had a weak impact on Genestellars.

However, an ability that could directly interfere with the memories and personalities of Genestellars would have an even greater hindrance effect, making it virtually impossible to affect Genestellars in such a manner.

But at this moment, Fang Li was indeed influenced by a mind interference ability.

"…!"

Intense headaches continued to assail Fang Li's mind, causing his vision to blur. As he felt the intruding 'hand' probing deeper into his mind, Fang Li took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Pā Tà…"

In the faint sound of a dagger being drawn, Fang Li gripped the dagger firmly in his hand.

"Zhēng…"

Fang Li suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils immediately turned ice blue, emitting a cold and indifferent radiance.

The next second, Fang Li saw it— the line of pitch-black radiance that spread like a crack all around him.

"Pū Chī——!"

A tearing sound, like the rending of flesh, echoed.

Fang Li's dagger, held tightly in his hand, ruthlessly sliced through the Death Line, causing the dense darkness surrounding him to suddenly freeze.

"Pēng——!"

The next moment, the dense darkness shattered like a mirror, turning into fragments that dissipated into the air.

Only then did Fang Li return to the realm of the living.

"What…!"

The woman, who had previously maintained a cold demeanor, witnessed this scene firsthand and displayed an expression of uncontrollable astonishment on her emotionless face.

"Oya Oya?" Fan Xinglou, on the other hand, found the situation highly amusing, laughing, "You can even kill the power itself? How intriguing!"

It appeared that Fan Xinglou had foreseen this outcome and chose to observe from the sidelines.

"You…" Finally, the woman turned her gaze squarely towards Fang Li, her tone carrying an astonishing pressure as she questioned, "Who are you?"

"Come to think of it, I forgot to introduce myself," Fang Li said with a sudden smile as the dagger in his hand disappeared, and the ice-blue radiance in his eyes vanished as if nothing had happened. "I'm Fang Li, and that over there is my Master, Fan Xinglou."

"Master?" The woman couldn't help but glance at Fan Xinglou and asked, "He's your disciple?"

"How about that? Quite intriguing, right?" Fan Xinglou chuckled playfully. "Although my disciple is the youngest in terms of seniority, having recently entered the sect, don't you think he can satisfy me quite well, especially in terms of power?"

"Are you mad?" The woman said with a touch of coldness. "I don't know what kind of power that is, but I can assure you, it's incredibly dangerous. You actually train him?"

"It's precisely because it's dangerous!" Fan Xinglou laughed out loud, her voice carrying an imposing manner that seemed to look down upon the world. "After all, I haven't felt danger in I don't know how many years. It's the only way to satisfy me to the fullest!"

The woman coldly stared at the laughing Fan Xinglou, then turned her gaze back to Fang Li. Fang Li could sense that she was evaluating something.

Then, she spoke, her voice carrying tremendous pressure, "I warn you, it's best not to have any dealings with me. Otherwise, even if you're this old hag's disciple, I won't show any mercy."

Hearing this, Fang Li immediately retorted, "I can't be bothered to have any dealings with you. I only want your body."

If someone unaware heard this statement, they might mistake Fang Li for a playboy. However, Fang Li's words had a different meaning.

Looking at the massive necklace hanging from the woman's body, Fang Li suddenly spoke, "Anyway, your true essence is just an Ogre Lux, so switching bodies shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

The woman fell silent immediately.

However, her gaze, when directed back at Fang Li, carried an even greater pressure.

It was the reaction that occurred when one's greatest secret was revealed.

That's right.

The woman before him was just a consciousness inhabiting a body.

At this moment, it was the massive necklace confronting Fang Li.

It was an Ogre Lux.

The giant jewel embedded in the necklace was a Urm Manadyte.

In other words, this Ogre Lux possessed the ability to take over another person's body.

The woman before Fang Li had been taken over by this necklace-like Ogre Lux.

And Fang Li knew the woman's name.

"Valda-Vaoth," Fang Li called out her name. "Your current body is a Teacher to someone I know. Return her."

Upon hearing this, an indescribable silence began to pervade the space.

Valda-Vaoth, as Fang Li referred to her, stared at him with a cold expression. After a brief silence, she spoke, "Don't meddle in other people's business."

Leaving behind those words, Valda-Vaoth turned directly and left the Yellow Dragon Temple.

Seeing this, Fang Li squinted his eyes and slowly reached for the activation device at his waist.

But a hand pressed down on Fang Li's.

"Don't be impulsive," Fan Xinglou said calmly. "Regardless of whether you can deal with her or not, if she only wishes to leave, you won't be able to stop her."

This time, it was Fang Li's turn to fall silent.

Watching Valda-Vaoth's gradually retreating figure, Fang Li let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "It looks like I'll have to plan things out carefully…"
