Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 964 - 832: Decapitation Plan II
"Of course. Keeping them alive was just to find out about Luo Nanjia; the rest are useless now." Jiang Yuan gave it a knowing look.
Yan Xuan instantly understood and felt a thrill of doing something mischievous.
Pacing back and forth with its paws behind its back, constantly releasing the aura of a Peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm Demon Beast. Except for those few it had knocked unconscious, the rest were nearly terrified to death.
"Alas! It's so lonely to be invincible." It sighed wistfully, "There's no need to see; these guys can't even break City Lord Yuan's vines. How could they have the strength to fight me properly?"
Gu Yi and other Demon Cultivators were stunned—fight with a Tribulation Crossing Realm Demon Beast?
Is there even a need to fight? They sure look up to us! Even if all the Demon Armor Army joined forces, they'd be clawed to death thoroughly.
"Master, these Demon Cultivators don't seem much different from Demon Cultivators, probably quite delicious."
Yan Xuan used the tip of its claw to poke this one and prod that one, revealing the fierce beast's savage nature and sneering coldly: "Biting into them, the taste of teeth piercing the skin varies from tender, crisp, to slightly tougher.
Warm blood, 'biu'! It gushes out, and bones crunch crisply. The key to deliciousness is that the food must be alive during chewing for the best taste..."
Gu Yi was timid by nature; if not wrapped in vines, he'd have kneeled already. He immediately howled, "Senior, please ask! Just ask whatever you want to know, and I'll certainly tell you everything without omission, as long as you give a quick end after asking."
Jiang Yuan was checking the spoils one by one; the details of the worn-out Divine Artifact "Eternal Mirror" also mentioned "fake Demon King." He thought this fake Demon King was quite generous; he bestowed the Divine Artifact just like that.
Seeing Yan Xuan scaring the little leader so much, he casually asked, "Have you seen the Demon King?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi was slightly stunned. He initially thought the opponent came for revenge for the White Snake Demon, but then asked about the Demon King—so wide a range, wanting to continue the investigation?
He nodded and then shook his head, quickly explaining, "I've seen him twice, but never seen the true appearance. Lord Demon King was amidst a swirl of mist, only a vague majestic silhouette was visible; it's unknown whether it's male or female, old or young."
Seeing this human cultivator with a clear and gentle appearance, Gu Yi racked his brain to disclose more information, hoping the other party would be lenient due to his good attitude.
"It seems... no one has seen the true form of the Demon King." He swallowed and moistened his throat, saying, "Long ago, the Demon Realm had no king; it was chaotic. Various lords fought fiercely for territory, and some intentionally polluted other worlds to occupy them.
Later, a Demon King emerged, or rather a Demon Lord.
He subdued all the lords and took them under his command, starting to distribute territory and systematically invade other small worlds.
The plan to occupy Wilderness World was set by that Demon Lord, though the plan wasn't executed; for unknown reasons, the Demon King suddenly vanished, rumored to have fallen.
Until hundreds or maybe thousands of years ago, I'm not sure exactly. Regardless, a new Demon King suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm, restarting the invasion plan of Wilderness World..."
Yan Xuan slapped him with its tail, "Are you telling us stories? Get to the point! If you can't, hehe..."
It chuckled wickedly, "Then let's just taste the Soul Searching Technique."
Gu Yi shivered with fright, "Even, even I... I was not much used before; it was Commander Luo who promoted me, giving me the chance to meet the Demon King twice. The first time was mainly for giving orders to commanders; the second, he temporarily granted me the Eternal Mirror."
When we were dispatched, this independent small space existed for a long time.
Commander Luo said we were Station 7, mainly responsible for the 'Decapitation Plan.' Specifically, it was Luo Commander who mastered the Book of Life and Death, finding out about the Wilderness World's Great Demon Cultivators; then, I used the Eternal Mirror to locate specific positions; finally, Jiu Qing used the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower to kill Great Demon Cultivators one by one.
Because we were primarily tasked with assassination, it was required to select a good target, kill them, and then implicate other forces, planning to cause chaos in Wilderness World with internal strife. I don't know about other invasion plans; until now, I haven't received more orders."
"That also doesn't seem right." He Miancun frowned slightly and said, "I mean no offense, but Daoist Bai shouldn't be the target of your Decapitation Plan.
To cause chaos in the whole world, killing a few prominent Demon Cultivators is necessary; what harm did you do to them?"
The cowardly Gu Yi thought as the mastermind wasn't him anyway, confessing was much better than undergoing Soul Searching, so he spilled everything, "Actually, initially, the commander responsible for the Decapitation Plan was Miss Jiu Mu.
Her realm was not high, but the cultivation techniques she practiced were very unique, highly valued by the Demon King.
As the overall commander, she could acquire the Book of Life and Death bestowed by the Demon King, which Luo Nanjia coveted greatly, thus framing her under a pretext. In anger, the Demon King stripped her of her command and detained her here, forbidding her from leaving.
Just as you launched an attack above, Jiu Mu fled with Jiu Qing by tearing the space! So, they likely returned to the Demon Realm to report, everyone... better be cautious."
Yuan Man was amused by him, "You're quite nice, worrying about the Demon King leading an army to save you and squashing us to pulp?"
Gu Yi's old face turned red with embarrassment, hurriedly continuing to explain, "The reason Luo Nanjia is eager to acquire the Book of Life and Death is that he has limited lifespan and hopes to use this chance to find a way to extend it.
Then, he drove out Jiu Mu's people, inserting me to manage the Eternal Mirror.
After obtaining the right to use the Eternal Mirror, Luo Nanjia commanded me to watch relentlessly for clues related to Life Origin. He had heard that on the Wilderness, some high-tier Demon Cultivators had forcibly seized the Life Origin of other Demon Cultivators, thus achieving immortality, and wanted to emulate it."
Upon him mentioning this, Yuan Man instantly ignited with fury.
Curses, embarrassing us even in the Demon Realm!
Du Li really deserves to die!
Just now, if it weren't for having an important task and encountering Qu Luming, it should have been... hmm? Odd! She noticed belatedly, the seed she planted on Qu Luming earlier seemed to have... not responded?
Could it be he truly found a way to break it?
"I discovered traces of Life Origin twice in the Eternal Mirror, but the Origin is a mystery; it can't be seen." Gu Yi continued explaining to himself, "Especially the first time, the radiant light quickly vanished, making it impossible to track;
After some time, the second appearance showed a strong Life Origin aura within the White Snake Demon's body, and it was evidently not long after acquisition.
The Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda of Jiu Qing has widespread applications, Luo Nanjia said it could refine the unstable Life Origin within the White Snake Demon, and the three of us would divide it, so he sent Jiu Qing to capture. What happened later..."
With a fearful look in his eyes, he glanced at the revived Bai Yunqi, unable to comprehend the reason, whispering, "You should all know." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
This news was like a bolt from the blue, prompting Yuan Man's eyes to widen immediately. Dazed, she looked at Bai Yunqi, surprisedly asking, "Where did you get the Life Origin?!"
Such concerning heavenly secrets, how could they be casually told to others?
Bai Yunqi smiled bitterly, "Senior, this matter is inconvenient to disclose."
She then returned from shock, finding herself absurdly, asking such a foolish question. But she really wanted to know where the Life Origin came from; if she could acquire some to complete the defective parts, wouldn't she be hopeful for promotion?
Calming down a bit, it was actually quite simple to realize. Besides the mysterious Mr. Jiang, who else could possess such means and be that generous?
Thus, Yuan Man cast hopeful eyes toward Jiang Yuan.
"City Lord Yuan, please be patient; the timing isn't right yet." He glanced at the branch task hanging, and could only persuade her to wait a bit longer. Since the system had it all covered, it would likely assign her a task to give her the Life Origin in the future.
Gu Yi understood, with a face of terror and shock, looking at the Human Race cultivator and realizing the White Snake Demon's revival was definitely related to this person, precisely linking it to Life Origin's grant!
Thinking that Luo Nanjia's idea was correct, obtaining the Life Origin means even dying can lead to resurrection; unfortunately, just touching the edge of the secret brought impending disaster.
"You know too much." Yan Xuan leaned closer with its bird face, saying sinisterly, "A tremendous secret, letting you know—isn't that outrageous? If it spreads all over, wouldn't my master be pestered to death!"
