Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209

"Of course, this kind of thing can’t be faked."

Tang Ming nodded again, "I just buried my older brother a few days ago, many people can attest to it."

"Haha, you’re quite the liar."

Mo Liuye suddenly laughed, staring at Tang Ming strangely.

Tang Ming looked at Mo Liuye in surprise.

"You are Tang Ming, why do you say you’re Tang Xin?"

Mo Liuye sneered, "You might fool others, but you can’t fool me."

"Cough, cough, I already said I’m Tang Xin, a twin brother of Tang Ming."

Tang Ming coughed lightly and pretended to explain calmly, "Although we brothers look alike, we are definitely not the same person, you’re mistaken."

"No need to pretend, I’ve been poisoned with the poisonous insect poison. If Tang Ming was really dead, the poison inside me would act up."

Mo Liuye laughed confidently and said, "Now I can sense the poisonous insect poison inside you resonating with mine, so it means you’re Tang Ming, who isn’t dead at all."

Tang Ming’s lips twitched as he realized he’d indeed forgotten this matter.

"Though I don’t know why you faked your death, I know you must have encountered danger before. The poison in me was restless before, which must mean you were in mortal danger."

Mo Liuye squinted, staring at Tang Ming: "But later, the poison in me calmed down, indicating you passed the danger."

During the previous events, Mo Liuye was quite frightened. Initially, he didn’t believe that Tang Ming’s death would result in him dying from the poison, but now he did.

"Alright, I’m not going to lie to you, Tang Ming indeed didn’t die."

Tang Ming waved his hand, saying irritably, "But you need to keep this secret for me, as I have other matters that require the excuse of faking my death."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be a blabbermouth."

Mo Liuye nodded, then looked at Tang Ming with confusion: "You want me to oversee the Dark Group’s branch, don’t you think that’s inappropriate? I’m a martial artist and tied to a sect, I can’t join the Dark Group."

"Don’t worry, I won’t force you to join the Dark Group, just asking you to help oversee things."

Tang Ming smiled confidently, "My branch can’t be considered as the Dark Group because I’m the Group Leader of the Dark Group Martial Arts Inspection Team, responsible for all martial arts affairs."

"Alright, since you say so, I’ll play along, after all, I’m under your tight control right now."

Mo Liuye shrugged helplessly, "When and where should I go?"

"Wait for my message. Tomorrow I’ll lead people to raid the Ming Group’s secret base, and then you go to oversee."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and honestly said, "I have people handling the secret lab within Songlan City. If something happens, they can reach the scene first. But the Ming Group’s secret base is in Songlan City’s suburbs, so someone must oversee it permanently."

"Alright, I’ll follow your orders."

Mo Liuye nodded. Although he wasn’t happy being ordered around, he could only comply.

"Then prepare yourself, I’ll notify you tomorrow on how to act."

Tang Ming nodded with satisfaction and then left.

Not long after Tang Ming left, a long black shadow appeared on the curtain behind Mo Liuye, followed by a raspy, sharp voice: "Junior brother, have you been poisoned by this kid? His cultivation doesn’t seem to be higher than yours."

"Ah, it’s a long story."

Mo Liuye sighed, "If we fought openly, ten of him wouldn’t be my match. Unfortunately, I fell for his trick, which is why I’ve ended up ."

"You’re useless, a dignified Nine-star Martial Artist being reduced to this."

The mysterious person snorted coldly, "If I intervened, I could guarantee to take his head within three moves. Why don’t you let me deal with him?"

"Senior brother, you absolutely can’t kill him."

Mo Liuye quickly turned to the shadow, saying apprehensively, "If he dies, the poison in me will erupt, and I’ll die terribly too! It’s too risky, if he senses someone near me attacking him, he’ll definitely trigger the poison immediately."

"I heard your conversation, so I didn’t intervene."

The mysterious person replied, hesitantly saying, "But as a master of the sect, you can’t be controlled by others for your whole life, right?"

"I want to break free from his control too, but with the poison in me, I have no way. I thought of fighting back, but when he was in danger, the poison in me reacted too. There’s really no way to kill him."

Mo Liuye sighed, saying apprehensively, "And senior brother, you can’t easily intervene. If he sees we are fellow disciples, he’ll surely perish together with me."

"Heh, even if I don’t personally act, I have many ways to deal with him."

The mysterious person laughed coldly, "Since killing him would trigger the poison in you, why not cripple his cultivation instead?"

"Cripple his cultivation? Wouldn’t that trigger the poison?"

Mo Liuye paused, unsurely asked the mysterious person.

"First cripple his cultivation, then break his limbs and scapula, not allowing him to die, just making him unable to cultivate and trigger the poison. Then you’ll naturally be safe."

The mysterious person said viciously.

"That’s not a long-term solution. We can’t control him for a lifetime, can we?"

Mo Liuye frowned, muttering uncertainly.

"Why not? The sect’s Black Prison holds many old-timers imprisoned for a lifetime. Once we cripple him, put him in the sect’s Black Prison, as long as he doesn’t die, you’ll be safe."

The mysterious person reminded with a cold smile.

"Yes, we can imprison him for life, make him never see the light of day without dying, and then I won’t be at risk."

Hearing this, Mo Liuye became excited.

"Since you agree, I’ll make the arrangements."

The mysterious person said coldly.

"Alright, I’ll trouble you, senior brother. But you must hide your identity, at least not letting him know of our relationship before he’s crippled, and absolutely don’t kill him."

Mo Liuye instructed seriously.

"Trust me to handle it."

As soon as the words fell, the black figure on the curtain disappeared, vanishing without a trace like a ghost.

"Tang Ming, your days of living a life worse than death are soon to come."

Mo Liuye gave a sinister smile, eagerly anticipating the day Tang Ming would be crippled and he would regain his freedom.

The next morning at dawn, Tang Ming informed Xin Badao and Chu Batian, leading the joint forces of the Dark Group and Poison Sect, to the vicinity of a magnificent estate in the West Suburb near the Yellow Tomb in Songlan City.
