Of course, although a puppet’s strength can’t compare to that of a true cultivator, its survival and recovery abilities are far superior.

If a cultivator were hit by this blow, they would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries, but the puppet barely felt anything and quickly recovered. Naturally, it had to pretend to be gravely injured and unable to rise.

Ye Luo approached the captain, his expression mournful, a facade of righteous indignation.

"Captain, are you alright? This is too much; does the Emissary think they can act with impunity?" Ye Luo laughed uproariously.

In reality, joy was blossoming in his heart; he hadn’t expected the Emissary to fall for it so easily. He realized he had underestimated the value of the Spiritual Liquid!

However, this bottle of Spiritual Liquid was enough to cause Ye Luo a headache. After all, trapped here, his resources were limited, and the Spiritual Liquid was his most precious resource.

Nonetheless, using a bottle of Spiritual Liquid to claim the Emissary’s life was worthwhile. Even if the Law Enforcers investigated, they might not trace it back to him.

The Emissary would never reveal the existence of the Spiritual Liquid to the Law Enforcers.

Numerous Guards around were astonished; the sight of an Emissary clashing fiercely with Guards was unprecedented.

Without hesitation, Ye Luo carried the captain into the tent.

After all, as the deputy captain, he was the captain’s most trusted person. Naturally, the other Guards had no right to question him.

Once inside the tent, the captain rose from the ground.

"Are you alright?" Ye Luo asked.

The captain shook his head slowly, "I’m fine, almost fully recovered. However, because of the previous injury, my strength will automatically downgrade, so I won’t arouse suspicion!"

Ye Luo nodded slightly. In this regard, his body was accurately calculated by the base, even the Law Enforcers couldn’t detect anything amiss.

Moreover, thanks to the Emissary’s attack, the captain’s flaws became even less noticeable, and relatively, Ye Luo’s situation became much more stable!

However, this wasn’t Ye Luo’s main concern; what he truly cared about was the Emissary’s survival!

Previously, a trace of Divine Sense had been mixed within that bottle, and as soon as it was opened, Ye Luo would be immediately informed!

Hence, he remained in the tent, sitting cross-legged, attempting to connect with the Divine Sense within the bottle!

His Divine Sense was exceptional; otherwise, in such an adverse environment, even if the Divine Sense was preserved, it would be difficult to perceive.

Meanwhile, the Emissary was elated, clutching the bottle tightly and sprinting over a hundred miles. The Emissary had an advantage: the Law Enforcers had bestowed Great Magical Power upon them, allowing them to come and go freely and without restrictions in the South Territory!

Consequently, their residence wasn’t in the Holy City but near the borders of the South Territory, where the environment was much better, and there was much less Death Qi!

Returning quickly to his residence, he closed the door tightly, as he wasn’t the only Emissary around, and if the others learned about the Spiritual Liquid, they’d immediately act against him.

Indeed, competition among Emissaries was even more intense than among Guards.

Moreover, these Emissaries weren’t just responsible for managing the Gold Silk Forest; if the Law Enforcers had a task, they would execute it, even in other regions.

The Emissaries served as the enforcers’ claws and fangs, much like the Hunter clan of old.

"Heh, I have no idea what stroke of luck that foolish kid had to obtain such a treasure, but at least it’s now mine. With this treasure, I can surely break through to another realm, and thus, immediately gain the favor of the master, freeing myself from circling that damned Holy City every day!"

With this thought, he took out the bottle; naturally, such a treasure should be refined as soon as possible for peace of mind!

Thus, he directly uncorked the bottle, and immediately, a rush of pure Power of Laws and rich Spiritual Power engulfed him!

The effects of the Spiritual Liquid were remarkable; at once, he felt every pore open up, and his energy and charisma completely changed.

Closing his eyes, he reveled in this sensation, utterly enamored!

No wonder, as this bottle of Spiritual Liquid was truly abundant, even the bottle Ye Luo gave to Yu Jizi was less than a third of this one!

But suddenly, his expression dramatically changed. While his body was wantonly absorbing the power of laws, he suddenly felt unwell. Opening his eyes, he jumped up in fright!

Incredibly, a large quantity of black energy had fused into this Power of Laws, entering his body as well!

He clearly recognized what this black energy was; in fact, no cultivator in the Holy City was unfamiliar with this insidious thing!

It was the Death Qi! But how could there be such a rich concentration of Death Qi?

Instantly, he understood; it was Ye Luo’s doing. Otherwise, how could he have obtained the Spiritual Liquid so easily!

Recalling Ye Luo’s unusual behavior, he regretted it deeply; how could he have been so careless! It was entirely due to the overwhelming temptation of the Spiritual Liquid!

"No!" he roared immediately, a look of terror on his face.

However, at this point, he couldn’t shake off the intrusion of the Death Qi!

The Death Qi itself was extremely potent; even a trace could forcibly invade a cultivator’s body, let alone this amount painstakingly gathered by Ye Luo, which could trouble even the Law Enforcers!

The more he resisted, the faster the black energy invaded. Gradually, his eyes turned blood-red, along with his hair, becoming a fiery red mass, black energy swirling around him, his visage turning monstrously fierce!

Moreover, his skin rapidly turned a dark shade, with peculiar patterns, developing a thick layer of cuticle!

Demonization! This phenomenon had been seen in the Holy City; it’s what happens to cultivators overly afflicted by Death Qi, turning them into demons losing all reason!

Roar!

With a furious roar towards the heavens, he charged out! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Though the other Emissaries’ cave mansions weren’t close, as soon as he appeared, he caught their attention.

After all, a demonized Emissary’s power increased by at least twenty percent over their previous state, becoming extraordinarily terrifying.

"This is bad, it’s demonization! Quickly notify the master!"

The surrounding Emissaries immediately shouted.

A demonized cultivator was immensely formidable; while the other Emissaries could easily slay him, the demonized body couldn’t just be disposed of, for even a slight mishap could cause immense disaster!

If another cultivator were to come into contact with his body, the effects of demonization would spread!
