Li Xing was ecstatic, never expecting that merely touching the profound light hundreds of times would grant him a Wind-type Divine Grade Spiritual Root!
However, Li Xing immediately reacted, “Wait, aren’t I in the Reverse Demon Sect, being investigated as a spy?”
A moment of sudden understanding made Li Xing realize where he was.
This was not reality, but his Sea of Consciousness Void Realm!
That infinitely mighty self was clearly his Divine Soul from his previous life!
“I want to wake up!”
With just a thought, Li Xing opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing in them and then disappearing.
Tang Xueling, standing in front of him, had her arms wrapped around his waist, her fair face tilted up, her full, jade-like lips slightly parted. A sweet, warm, pink fragrant mist sprayed from her mouth, enveloping him like clouds.
It was precisely this pink fragrant mist that obscured Li Xing's face, blocking the sharp gleam in his eyes; otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall Master, Xin Gan, would have noticed something amiss.
“Junior Brother, Senior Sister is so good to you, can’t you tell me your secret?” Tang Xueling’s soft, charming voice was like a cat purring.
Li Xing deliberately feigned infatuation and said, “Senior Sister, the day before yesterday, I found a Hundred-Year Vermillion Fruit and hid it in the water vat behind the courtyard…”
“Hundred-Year Vermillion Fruit? Nothing else?” Tang Xueling frowned slightly.
“No more!”
“Really nothing more?”
“Really nothing more!”
“You really are… useless!”
Tang Xueling lightly poked Li Xing’s chest, swayed her graceful body, and turned to walk towards the next Outer Sect Disciple.
As for the Vermillion Fruit, it was actually a fire-elemental Spirit Medicine that grew near volcanoes. Although rare, it was only a Profound-grade Medium Grade Spirit Medicine, and only those who Cultivated fire-elemental Cultivation Techniques could use it.
For a Soul-type Cultivator like her, who specialized in Cultivating Bewitching Demonic Technique, it was no different from trash.
Li Xing did not immediately awaken because other Bewitched Disciples also took some time to regain consciousness.
If he awakened immediately, he might expose himself.
At the same time, Li Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This spy inspection was finally over, and he could once again be a peaceful undercover agent.
In the future, he would absolutely not do such dangerous things again. Even if he sent intelligence, he would only send trivial matters.
After peacefully spending these few months, he would be able to return to the Sect to enjoy his life!
Also, his Divine Soul seemed to have obtained a Wind-type Divine Grade Spiritual Root. After he returned, he would have to check if this Spiritual Root was truly effective.
If it was effective, once he returned to the Sect, he would be a peerless Genius, able to obtain vast Cultivation resources and become a powerful expert of the legendary Nascent Divinity Realm, or even the Divine Sea Realm.
Of course, Li Xing had no grand ambition of Ascension to Immortal Ascension or unifying the Cultivation world.
He just wanted to be a peaceful Elder, or perhaps a peaceful Deputy Sect Leader wouldn't be bad either!
In any case, the main thing was peace!
Tang Xueling finished inspecting everyone and returned to the Law Enforcement Hall Master Xin Gan, bowing and saying, “Master, the inspection is complete. There are no problems with the others!”
Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief, expressions of relaxation appearing on their faces.
“These spies deserve to die! They actually killed the Young Sect Master! We must find the true culprit and dismember him!”
“That’s right! To actually come to the Demonic Path as spies, these Immortal Dao Disciples are truly insidious!”
“I suggest an inspection once a month, and for newly recruited Disciples, we should even investigate their ancestors for three generations!”
The Disciples below began to clamor, looking indignant.
Xin Gan, however, suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, “Are you sure there are no problems?”
This sentence instantly brought silence to the scene.
Tang Xueling was also startled, her graceful body trembling slightly as she said, “Master, you… you can’t be doubting me, can you?”
Xin Gan shook his head: “How could that be? I personally nurtured you, so of course I trust you! But don’t forget, your Realm is only True Spirit Realm fifth level. If any of these Disciples have Magic Treasures that can resist the Bewitching Demonic Technique, you won’t be able to do anything to them! Just now, a few people awakened noticeably faster than others by a breath or half a breath! For example, you… Zhang Fan! And you… Chen Inkong! And you, Luo Ze…”
The Disciples whose names were called all had extremely grim expressions.
Li Xing was also uneasy, wondering if he was also on the suspect list, which would mean further inspection.
Heaven knows how many methods the Demonic Path still had!
Moreover, if they really couldn't find anything, it wasn't impossible for them to just kill them.
The Demonic Path’s consistent style was to rather kill a thousand innocent people than let a single traitor go.
“Finally, there’s you… Li Xing!”
As expected, Xin Gan’s finger still pointed at him. Those snake-like eyes seemed to want to pierce into Li Xing’s heart and see through everything about him.
To avoid increasing suspicion, Li Xing controlled his expression and breathing as much as possible, not daring to show the slightest flaw.
Xin Gan stared at Li Xing for a full three breaths before retracting his gaze, then once again swept over the Inner Sect Disciple and Outer Sect Disciple who had been named.
With a gloomy face, he said, “You awakened faster than others, which means you might have Magic Treasures that resist the Bewitching Demonic Technique! Now, I suspect there are definitely still spies among you. According to Demonic Path rules, it’s better to kill the wrong person than to let one go. If there are any wrongfully killed among you, then be reborn into a good family in your next life!”
As Xin Gan spoke the last word, a hint of cruelty appeared on his face.
The Disciples whose names were called either cried out about being wronged, showed expressions of terror, or even clenched their fists, seemingly preparing to fight to the death.
Seeing that Xin Gan was about to act, and blood was about to flow like a river.
Li Xing, however, thought of his powerful Divine Soul and quickly said, “Hall Master Xin, as far as I know, those with strong Divine Souls will also be Bewitched for a shorter time. This cannot prove that we have Magic Treasures to resist the Bewitching Demonic Technique. On the contrary, those spies who possess Magic Treasures, because they are conscious, can pretend for as long as they want. Shouldn’t you be more suspicious of Disciples who remain in a Bewitched state for longer?”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the named Disciples immediately lit up.
“That’s right, Hall Master! I have Cultivated the Heart Demon Curse Soul Scripture, and my Divine Soul is already more than twice as strong as other Disciples at the same Realm!”
“Me too, I Cultivated the Ghost God Incantation!”
“I also Cultivated the Soul Devouring Demonic Technique.”
Everyone started to say that they had Cultivated various Demonic Techniques, and surprisingly, they were all Soul-type Demonic Techniques.
After these Disciples finished speaking, they also displayed their respective Demonic Techniques, with various colored ghostly lights appearing above their eyes.
Xin Gan scanned these Disciples, and seeing that they were indeed all Soul-type Demonic Techniques, he was also momentarily stunned.
However, his gaze immediately fell back on Li Xing, and he said with a amused expression, “Kid, you’ve messed up, haven’t you? It’s understandable for others to have Cultivated Demonic Techniques and have stronger Divine Souls, allowing them to awaken early. But what about you? What Demonic Technique have you Cultivated? If it’s also a Soul-type Demonic Technique, then it’s my mistake. Not only will I not suspect you, but I can also give you some rewards!”
After Xin Gan finished speaking, his smile immediately vanished, his eyes once again becoming sharp, and his expression turning incredibly cruel.
Clearly, if Li Xing dared to utter half a negative word, his fate would likely be the same as the pile of white bones and minced meat at the front of the stage.
Seeing Xin Gan staring intently at him, Li Xing was once again numb.
He came to the Reverse Demon Sect just to pass the time. Aside from some insidious sneak attack moves, he had never Cultivated any Demonic Technique, let alone a Soul-type Demonic Technique.
So, one really shouldn't be too lazy, otherwise, when it's time to use it, one will regret not having enough!
Li Xing was racking his brain, trying to come up with a temporary excuse.
If it really didn’t work, then he would have no choice but to expose his boundless and mighty Divine Soul.
Of course.
That might clear him of suspicion, but his fate would certainly not be good.
He would probably be treated as a cauldron for Cultivating Soul-type Cultivation Techniques by the Demonic Path, with his Divine Soul essence being extracted daily.
At that time, he would be equivalent to the Reverse Demon Sect’s human-shaped Spirit Pill!
But Xin Gan didn't give him a chance to think, and sneered, “Li Xing, I’ll give you one more chance to argue. Explain why you can wake up early!”
“I… because…” Li Xing forcefully made his blood rush to his head, suddenly turning red in the face. On the surface, he looked like he had some unspeakable secret.
Xin Gan frowned and angrily shouted, “Speak!”
“Because I’m a virgin!” Li Xing suddenly put on a full performance, shouting loudly.
Xin Gan was startled: “You’re a virgin, what does that have to do with you waking up early?”
“Because… I’m faster than others!”
This time, even Li Xing’s ears turned red.
Laughter also erupted from all around, and some male Disciples even bent over laughing.
Xin Gan apparently hadn't reacted yet, and looked at Tang Xueling in confusion, because Tang Xueling was also covering her mouth and secretly laughing, shaking with laughter, her ample breasts bouncing.
Seeing her Master’s puzzled gaze, Tang Xueling also reacted, and quickly leaned into Xin Gan’s ear with a smile, whispering an explanation.
Upon hearing it, Xin Gan suddenly understood, and the corners of his mouth also curved up slightly.
Looking at Li Xing again, Xin Gan’s gaze softened, and he even comforted him, “Young man, it’s normal to be unable to handle the stimulation. It was my misunderstanding! However, what you said earlier also has some truth to it. Since those who awakened early are fine, then it’s very likely that there are still spies among those who didn’t awaken early, and they are the kind of deeply hidden spies. Compared to them, these spies are even more dangerous!”
After speaking, Xin Gan’s gaze once again became sinister and terrifying.
Those Disciples who had not been named earlier were still gloating, never expecting that disaster would now befall them. Immediately, all of them were terrified beyond measure.
Some timid Outer Sect Disciples even knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly to Xin Gan, begging for mercy.
Xin Gan sneered, “My Demonic Path rules state that it’s better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let one go. If anyone is wrongfully killed, I, Xin Gan, apologize to you!”
“No, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”
“Hall Master Xin, I’m really not a spy! I have an Earth-type High Grade Spiritual Root, and my Master is Elder Lei Dong of the Silver Palace!”
“I’m the niece of Elder Cheng Susu of the Immortal Slaying Palace!”
But no matter how the Inner Sect Disciple and Outer Sect Disciple present begged for mercy or tried to use connections, Xin Gan showed no mercy.
A cloud-like Demonic Qi enveloped every Disciple, and each Disciple screamed, collapsed, and died under different tortures. Their deaths were so tragic that everyone who witnessed it felt their scalp tingle.
And just as the last three Inner Sect Disciples died, bursts of profound light actually erupted, attempting to break through the Demonic Qi Seal and carry the Disciples inside out.
“Hmph!”
Xin Gan let out a cold snort. A surge of Demonic Qi gathered in the great hall, causing his Realm to surge again. In an instant, he suppressed the three profound lights, extinguishing them, and the three Inner Sect Disciples, suspected of being undercover agents, were crushed into meat paste inch by inch.
Their Divine Souls were forcibly expelled from their Physical Bodies by a surge of Demonic Qi, and then clusters of Demonic Path Talismanic Incantations were Sealed onto them, transforming the three Divine Souls into small human puppets, which fell into Xin Gan’s hand.
Xin Gan collected the Divine Soul puppets, then turned around and said to the remaining seven people, “Today’s inspection is complete. If the culprit who killed the Young Sect Master is found, you will be the purest Disciples of my Reverse Demon Sect, and no one will ever suspect you again!”
