Players: All NPCs in the Sect Are Moles

Chapter 400: Chapter 381: A New Undercover Agent?

"So noisy... What’s the point of trying so hard at a time like this..."

[Divine Power: Grievance Beast - Absolute Sloth Domain]—Unleashed!

WHIR!

The Grievance Beast’s gaping maw, a deep abyss brimming with negative energy, snapped open. An aura of ultimate despair instantly blanketed the entire area.

The next second, Mr. Celestial Sword, who had been burning his life force, found his hand, which was raising his greatsword, frozen in mid-air. His once-taut muscles went limp in an instant.

His do-or-die fighting spirit instantly morphed into... a dispirited desire for death.

"Sigh... I’m so tired..."

Mr. Celestial Sword’s magical weapon fell to the ground with a CLANG. His eyelids began to feel heavy.

"Hundreds of years of Cultivation... all for nothing in the end... I don’t want to move anymore..."

"I don’t want to move... Just let it all end... Quickly. I’m tired."

The old crone from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons collapsed straight to the ground. Watching the approaching sword dragon, she actually revealed a smile of release. "In my next life... I want to be a rock..."

This was a surrender from the very depths of their souls. Faced with the sword dragon that could tear them to shreds, they had truly chosen to—lie flat and give up.

Only Mr. Youquan remained!

Because this body was merely his second-generation form and his divine soul was incomplete, he managed to retain a sliver of clarity within this terrifying Sloth Domain.

"Move!! You bunch of idiots!! Get moving!!"

Mr. Youquan shrieked in terror, but his companions had already closed their eyes, waiting for death.

RUMBLE!!

Destruction descended.

The rampaging dragon of Sword Qi, three times its normal power, roared past.

"SHLICK! SHLICK! SHLICK!"

This wasn’t a battle. It was a slaughter.

Mr. Celestial Sword’s sword body and dharma idol shattered instantly. The old crone from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, along with her gu worms, was minced into pulp in a flash.

Lost in their apathy, they couldn’t even be bothered to scream.

It was a true death by a thousand cuts. In the blink of an eye, several renowned Nascent Soul old monsters were reduced to a pile of corpses!

’Break! Break for me, damn it!!’

He frantically burned the last of this body’s essence blood, forcibly activating a Secret Technique. He fought against the sloth to sever the connection between his divine soul and this second-generation body. As long as this part of his divine soul returned to his main soul, he could escape the battlefield unscathed!

VMMM—

’Success!!’

Mr. Youquan was overjoyed. His consciousness instantly left the body and fled into the void, on the verge of escaping.

However, just as he thought he had escaped the battlefield...

A foot stepped out from the void!

BAM!!

And kicked him right back into his shattered physical body!

"What?!"

Mr. Youquan’s eyes snapped open.

He saw Lin Qingfeng looking down on him, one foot planted on his chest, blocking all paths of escape.

"Since you’re here, what’s the rush to leave?"

"Why not... stay and be reunited with them."

The fear of death finally overwhelmed his reason.

Feeling the power in the foot pressing down on him, Mr. Youquan roared hysterically, "No! Lin Qingfeng!! You can’t kill me!! I am Youquan!!"

"This is just my descended body! My main soul has already severed its connection with me! If you kill me, my main body will only suffer some divine soul damage, it won’t truly die! But you will be the one who disrupts the pact between the Righteous and Demonic paths! You’ll be declaring war on both paths at the same time!!!"

"When that time comes, there will be no place left for your Guixi Sect in this vast world!!"

Faced with this desperate threat, Lin Qingfeng merely leaned down slightly. Golden sword shadows swirled madly in his eyes, transforming them into a pair of divine pupils.

"Trying to pressure me with the Righteous and Demonic paths?"

Lin Qingfeng’s foot suddenly pressed down with force. A terrifying spiritual pressure instantly crushed the sternum of Youquan’s second-generation body, inch by inch!

Meeting the other’s despairing gaze, he smiled faintly. "Here, there are only people I don’t want to kill. When has there ever been... someone I don’t dare to kill?!"

’As long as I stay within my league, I can do as I please for hundreds of miles around!’

SQUELCH!!

As his voice fell, he stomped his foot down.

Mr. Youquan’s second-generation body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

However, death was only the beginning of his exploitation.

With a cold expression, Lin Qingfeng fiercely waved the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner] in his hand.

"Wooooo—!!"

A sinister wind howled. The Nascent Soul Divine Souls that had just escaped their physical bodies and were trying to flee were instantly caught by a dark suction force before they could get far.

They let out shrill wails in mid-air as they were forcibly dragged into the black banner, becoming resentful spirits, never to be reincarnated.

Next was Lu Wu’s ecstatic celebration.

Lu Wu, sitting cross-legged atop the Pill Furnace, was so excited his eyes turned crimson. He formed a hand seal for a Technique, and the three-legged Pill Furnace began to spin violently, its opening transforming into a greedy, gaping mouth.

A terrifying suction locked onto the ravaged bodies.

The most refined essence blood from the hearts of the Nascent Soul old monsters was drawn out from their broken shells!

The fresh, red essence blood formed a river and was sucked into the Pill Furnace in one go!

The furnace’s fire flared, and an exotic fragrance containing immense Spiritual Power immediately wafted out.

Meanwhile, Shen Nong gave an honest, simple smile and pointed a finger.

[Divine Power: Gorging Root]!

"RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE..."

Countless fine roots instantly burrowed into the corpses, now drained of their essence blood.

The roots writhed and gnawed madly inside the bodies.

Skin, organs, fat... all soft tissues were scoured clean in the blink of an eye, turned into high-energy fertilizer for those bewitching Cannibal Flowers.

*BURP~* The Cannibal Flowers even let out a burp, their leaves becoming even more vibrant and lush.

In the end, all that remained... were complete skeletons, pale and grim, with a few strands of flesh still clinging to them.

"Rise."

Ji, standing atop the black coffin, beckoned with a finger. A stream of deathly energy flowed from the coffin and instantly poured into the skeletons.

CRACK... CRACK...

Accompanied by the crisp sound of grinding bones.

The former regional overlords, now [Core Formation Realm Undead], stood up shakily as soul-fire ignited in their eye sockets.

Deboning, soul-extraction, blood-refining, fertilizing, and resurrection.

It took no more than three breaths for the Nascent Soul patriarchs to be completely carved up and distributed.

...

「Ghost Spirit Sect」

The place was steeped in a sinister aura, with countless vengeful ghosts wailing from within the walls.

In the center, [Mr. Youquan’s Main Body] suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood!

"BASTARD!!!!"

The moment he saw the Sword Qi dragon, he knew the situation was hopeless. Fearing his opponent could trace his location through the soul connection, he had decisively severed the part of his divine soul in his sea of consciousness that was linked to the second-generation body!

BOOM!

Blood trickled from the corner of Mr. Youquan’s mouth, and his aura weakened.

"Cough, cough... Haha... HAHAHA!!"

’Although that second-generation body is now completely controlled by that remnant soul fragment and the connection to me is broken, he can’t possibly trace it back to me, can he? Even if he finds my location through the remnant soul, I’ll just have to hide for a while.’

Panting heavily, Mr. Youquan staggered towards the cave entrance, preparing to leave and disappear completely for a while.

However, the relieved smile on his face, born from surviving a catastrophe, froze once more.

A pair of eyes suddenly appeared before his own. Within those eyes, golden sword shadows were slowly turning.

"So, you’re here."

’What?!!’

The next second, he found that two swords of platinum light were rapidly magnifying before his eyes!

Wherever the divine pupils gaze, becomes a domain of swords!

"No!! This is impossible!! I already severed the..."

Before Mr. Youquan could finish his desperate roar, his vision was completely filled by two blindingly brilliant golden lights.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

Two muffled impacts exploded in the deepest part of his sea of consciousness!

That was the sound of a divine soul being annihilated.

In the forbidden secret chamber.

A blinding light burst from Mr. Youquan’s eyeballs!

BANG!!

Two muffled bangs exploded deep within his sea of consciousness!

In the secret chamber, golden Sword Qi erupted from Mr. Youquan’s seven orifices. His eyeballs burst, and his Nascent Soul Divine Soul was simultaneously shattered to pieces by those remote sword-pupils!

He had used every trick up his sleeve, yet he still ended up... dead, his Dao extinguished!

...

A few moments later, the place returned to a deathly silence.

Mr. Youquan’s soulless corpse lay askew in the pool of blood, gradually growing cold.

However, just then...

The corpse of Youquan, which should have been completely dead, suddenly and bizarrely twitched a finger.

An aura, even more ancient than Youquan’s, slowly rose from the body.

The "corpse" slowly opened its eyes.

He stretched his stiff neck and looked down at this body, which, though intact, was devoid of life force.

"My dear disciple... what a pity. I quite admired you back then..."

’Still, it’s better that you’re dead.’

’If you hadn’t died, how would this remnant soul of mine, which has barely survived in the depths of your sea of consciousness for a hundred years, have the chance to live again?’

Until the moment of his death, Youquan believed he had triumphed over his master, completely breaking free from the shackles of fate imposed by that old monster and finally attaining freedom.

But he never knew, even in death, that his master, [Yougu], had left one final trick hidden within his body.

In the secret chamber, with Youquan’s divine soul utterly destroyed, the long-dormant remnant soul of Yougu finally dared to emerge and take control of the body.

But as soon as he took control, his expression soured.

"A pity it’s only at the Foundation Establishment Realm now."

His foundation was destroyed, and the body was on its last legs. Without some heaven-defying opportunity, he probably wouldn’t live for long.

"So be it. As long as the green hills remain, there will be no lack of firewood. At least I can control my own body now. There is still hope for everything."

’That Guixi Sect, capable of remotely killing a Nascent Soul... their methods are so bizarre and unfathomable, their foundation so profound...’

’This Guixi Sect... perhaps they have a way to help me break this predicament?’

Thinking of this, Yougu looked down at his body, which now only had the Cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Perfect."

"I’ve become a good-for-nothing at the Foundation Establishment Realm... If I can’t find a way out of this, I probably won’t live for long anyway. I might as well use this useless identity to go undercover and see... what kind of sacred existence this sect is, and what opportunities it holds..."
