The Jade Rabbit sets in the west.
The Golden Crow rises in the east.
A whole night, in the blink of an eye, has passed.
As the Thousand-Face Evil Lord's soul body completely dissipated, his life experiences were also fully grasped by Wang Xiu.
Including his childhood, his past, his tragic life.
His social relationships with other Guardians and Elders in the Ghost King Sect of the Demonic Cult, and even his posture and position when reporting tasks to Chi Mei Snake Ji...
Cough cough~
The topic has gone astray, postures and positions are completely unimportant.
In any case.
At this moment, Wang Xiu had completely understood the Thousand-Face Evil Lord's life, and many things could now begin to be manipulated.
"Master..."
Just as Wang Xiu took out the Thousand-Face Evil Lord's token, preparing to start his manipulation, the Nether Blood Immortal-Slaying Sword behind him suddenly emitted a soft sword cry.
The sword blade became scorching hot, spraying out streams of white steam.
Then.
A wisp of soul light rose from the sword blade, transforming into the form of a dignified beauty.
However, her crimson little face and the continuously sizzling steam rising from her head all showed that her mood was not calm at all, but rather quite agitated.
The pretty female ghost looked at Wang Xiu with a mix of shyness and embarrassment, her voice like a mosquito: "Master, you've been watching all night, you must be very tired!"
"If you don't disdain my humble appearance, Nie Linglan can help you."
"Definitely..."
"Definitely not worse than that snake!"
Hiss~
Looking at the Sword Spirit who clearly had a shy expression on her face but whose gaze was incredibly intense, even a bit yandere and perverted, Wang Xiu took a sharp breath, his face twitching uncontrollably.
It's ruined!
It's ruined!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword getting Nie Linglan as its Sword Spirit has been completely twisted and corrupted.
Holy crap.
You can help me? How do you plan to help me?
Swordplay?
And definitely not worse than that snake, you're at least a proper young lady from a good family.
Be more reserved.
What's with this weird competitive spirit?
The character is collapsing!
Not to mention the Ten Thousand Heroes Shrine is right next door, doing that kind of thing is uncultured!
More importantly, although Master on the back mountain is sleeping, she might get worried at any moment and scan her divine sense over to check on her precious disciple.
If she sees me with the Qilin...
Won't she explode her tomb on the spot and come out to clean house?
Jie~
Wang Xiu formed a hand seal, suppressing the Sword Spirit who had broken through to the 'Nascent Soul Stage' back into the sword.
Wang Xiu said helplessly: "This is a Daoist sacred place, don't speak nonsense, we'll discuss it after we go down the mountain."
Phew~
Pressing the restless divine sword beneath his palm, Wang Xiu soothed and calmed it for a long time before finally settling his Dao heart.
Next.
He used the Heavenly Demon Myriad Transformation Art, transforming into the appearance and aura of the Thousand-Face Evil Lord, then reached out to grasp the Skull Token, sending his divine sense into it.
Perhaps for security reasons, the communication tokens of the Demonic Cult's various sects had much more stringent identity verification than the righteous sects, not only requiring the correct hand seals.
Palm prints, pupils, magical qi aura, and soul imprints—all needed to match one by one, being extremely cautious.
To be honest.
If it weren't for Wang Xiu possessing the Heavenly Demon Myriad Transformation Art, allowing him to completely mimic the Thousand-Face Evil Lord's appearance, and also using the Underworld Emperor's Prison-Suppressing Scripture to review this guy's past memories.
He absolutely wouldn't have been able to so easily take over the Ghost King Sect's communication token for his own use.
Whoosh~
As the Skull Token completed the identity verification process, a black light screen floated before Wang Xiu.
Communication Message—
Chi Mei Snake Ji: "Is the plan going smoothly? My treasure~"
Chi Mei Snake Ji: "Finish this job quickly and come back, I want you to whip me hard and teach me the Dao!"
Chi Mei Snake Ji: "Remember, be a little gentler when peeling Wang Xiu's skin, don't wrinkle it, I like it smooth, just thinking about it makes me so excited~"
...
Wang Xiu: ???
Whoa~!
This old vixen is still thinking about peeling my skin!
If I had known earlier, I should've recorded that video of you two hooking up and shared it directly in the Ghost King Sect's high-level group, to let you know what it means to share joy with the people.
That's right.
The Ghost King Sect does have a high-level group, and as a Guardian, he was naturally qualified to join the high-level area to chat.
In fact.
It's not just the Ghost King Sect; every major sect has its own exclusive communication groups, and often many of them.
For example, the Three Purities Immortal Gate.
Its thirty-six branches each have their own 'Disciple Exchange Group', and inner sect disciples and core disciples also set up their own separate communication groups.
If some news needed to be announced to everyone, it would be sent directly in the group, saving a lot of trouble.
Previously.
The reason Wang Xiu hadn't joined any groups was mainly because the other branches didn't let the Divination Lineage play along, let alone pull Wang Xiu into their own exchange groups, just to add bad luck.
In addition.
There were only a handful of people on Spirit Turtle Peak, so there was no need for communication groups or anything like that.
The Thousand-Face Evil Lord was part of three communication groups.
The first was the 'Official Exchange Group' for Ghost King Sect Guardians and above, named: Family of Accumulating Good Deeds.
This group.
Usually, basically no one chatted, only the Sect Master or the nine Elders would post messages in the main group when they had tasks to assign.
The second group was named—Snake Ji is Invincible and Most Beautiful!
That's right.
The group owner was Chi Mei Snake Ji, and there were only seven members, the seven Guardians under Chi Mei Snake Ji, with the Thousand-Face Evil Lord being just an ordinary member among them.
If there was anything special about him, it might be... he was taken advantage of by his leader, and he ate this soft meal with great confidence.
Eating it with flourish and a bright future!
The first two groups were internal Ghost King Sect groups, but this third group was different; it was the entire Southern Continent's Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator exchange group, with several thousand demonic cultivators inside.
Every member's registered cultivation level was at the Golden Core Stage, and among them, dragons and snakes were mixed, making the composition extremely chaotic.
There were cultivators from the Asura Sect, the Joy Union Sect, the Nether Blood Sect, the Ghost King Sect...
There were demonic Way Venerables who had ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage but hadn't left the group, and there were those whose avatars had turned gray, lurking for decades without surfacing, most likely already long dead.
Even.
No one knew if there were any undercover agents from the Righteous Path sects mixed into this group.
Saying it like that wasn't quite right.
It should be said that basically everyone in the group could be certain that there were definitely undercover agents from the Righteous Path sects mixed in, scouting for information.
Smart people understood each other without a word.
Therefore.
In this communication group named [Traditional Artisan Exchange Group], everyone used aliases, and their true identities, cultivation levels, and trump cards were not easily revealed.
Moreover.
Above this communication group, the Group Owner 'Great Power Great Virtue Great Fortune World-Saving Universal Compassion Venerable' had written a blood-red group announcement in the most prominent, eye-catching large characters.
'A thousand paths in the Demonic Way, safety comes first. Teaming up has risks, transactions must be cautious. If you find an undercover agent, immediately call for management.'
Additionally.
The main purpose of this group was to provide a platform for exchange and trade for the numerous Golden Core demonic cultivators of the Southern Continent.
For example—
Cultivator A practiced a Nether Blood Sect secret art and needed 3,000 portions of human essence blood;
Cultivator B practiced a Ghost King Sect secret art and needed 3,000 portions of human souls;
Cultivator C practiced a White Bone Sect secret art and needed 3,000 portions of human bones;
Then.
Through the [Traditional Artisan Exchange Group] making the connection, they only needed to each kill 1,000 people to gather the materials all three parties needed, reducing their workload by more than half.
Moreover.
It could reduce the karmic backlash from slaughtering a full 2,000 people.
Hmm.
According to the Group Owner 'Great Power Great Virtue Great Fortune World-Saving Universal Compassion Venerable', in this way, it could also be considered accumulating good deeds.
Thinking about it, it's even a bit touching!
