157: Chapter 157 The Second Incarnation

With this Incarnation, Qin Changsheng could easily enter the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

Qin Changsheng raised his hand and took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Space, while simultaneously chanting the summoning incantation slowly.

The moment the incantation finished, it transformed into a wisp of pure Spiritual Qi, which rapidly gathered in front of him, emitting a faint golden light.

Inside the golden light, a figure slowly solidified; its physique, appearance, and attire were exactly the same as the follower who had previously been by Senior Brother Zhang Hao's side.

With ordinary features and a slightly dark complexion, it wore the attire of a Heavenly Sword Sect Outer Sect Disciple, and its Aura was steadily fixed at Qi Refining Stage 7.

This person was Wang Cheng, a mole for the Blood Demon Sect.

A moment later, the golden light dissipated, and Wang Cheng stood steadily before Qin Changsheng.

Qin Changsheng raised his eyes to scrutinize Wang Cheng, a look of satisfaction appearing in the depths of his eyes.

The appearance of this Incarnation, both in demeanor and movement, was exactly like Wang Cheng.

With this Incarnation by the side of the Blood Demon Sect Young Lord Li Hu, Qin Changsheng could fully grasp the movements of the Blood Demon Sect.

Qin Changsheng might even have the opportunity to learn the Blood Demon Sect's secret technique, the Blood Demon Curse.

"Wang Cheng, you go to the Chore Hall, find Manager Ma Yingjie, and then find a way to join the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine." Qin Changsheng waved his hand and handed Wang Cheng's Storage Pouch to him.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also informed him of Wang Cheng's identity as a mole for the Blood Demon Sect.

"Understood!" Wang Cheng cupped his hands in a salute and then disappeared from there.

...

Chore Hall.

"Wang Cheng... didn't you die in the Qingfeng Ruins?" Manager Ma Yingjie looked at Wang Cheng standing below with some astonishment.

Not long ago, Manager Ma Yingjie had received news that Wang Cheng, the mole he had sent to Senior Brother Zhang Hao, had been trapped in the Qingfeng Ruins along with Senior Brother Zhang Hao.

This matter had even alarmed the Law Enforcement Elder Lin Zhentian.

Wang Cheng had already thought of a countermeasure according to Qin Changsheng's instructions: "After entering the Qingfeng Ruins, your subordinate became separated from Senior Brother Zhang Hao."

"Your subordinate waited at the exit for a long time, and when I didn't see Senior Brother Zhang Hao come out, I left on my own!"

After listening, Manager Ma Yingjie's brows furrowed even tighter: "Why did it take you three days to return to report?"

"Because Law Enforcement Elder Lin Zhentian was investigating closely, your subordinate has been hiding!" Wang Cheng continued to answer.

Manager Ma Yingjie looked up at Wang Cheng and did not suspect anything.

After all, the tone of voice and demeanor of the Wang Cheng before him were exactly the same as before.

Most importantly, Wang Cheng had consumed a special Medicinal Pill of the Blood Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Attraction.

If he were to betray their Blood Demon Sect, he would die immediately.

Manager Ma Yingjie scanned his surroundings, confirmed no one was there, and then said to Wang Cheng in a low voice: "Given the current situation, you cannot stay within the Heavenly Sword Sect any longer. Find a hidden corner to conceal yourself, do not show your face easily, and wait until the heat dies down before you return to the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Hearing Manager Ma Yingjie's words, Qin Changsheng felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He had always wanted to sneak into the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine to mine for Spirit Stones, but he had never had a suitable opportunity.

Now that Manager Ma Yingjie was letting Wang Cheng leave the core area of the Sect to find a place to hide, it happened to provide him with a legitimate opportunity to enter the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

Qin Changsheng's mind stirred, and he immediately sent a clear instruction to Wang Cheng through his Divine Sense.

Wang Cheng stepped forward and said: "Your subordinate wishes to go to the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine."

Manager Ma Yingjie was quite in favor of Wang Cheng going to the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

After all, if they wanted to turn the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine into a Spirit Stone Mine for their Blood Demon Sect, they needed a large number of Blood Demon Sect members.

Wang Cheng was also loyal to the Blood Demon Sect. If Wang Cheng went to the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine, he could avoid Law Enforcement Elder Lin Zhentian's investigation, and they could also use Wang Cheng's eyes to keep an eye on the movements within the mine. If there were any anomalies, they would be able to know in time—killing two birds with one stone.

"Very well!" Manager Ma Yingjie nodded and took out a black token from the wooden desk drawer.

The token was pitch-black, with the two characters "Overseer" engraved on it, and subtle mine patterns engraved along the edges.

He threw the token to Wang Cheng and said: "Take this token and go to the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine to serve as an Overseer."

"If you discover anything wrong within the Spirit Stone Mine, report it to the Young Lord and this Hall Master immediately!"

Wang Cheng quickly reached out to catch the token: "Thank you, Hall Master!"

Manager Ma Yingjie waved his hand: "Go, be quick, and don't let Law Enforcement Elder Lin Zhentian find you."

Wang Cheng turned around and was just about to leave.

"Wait!" Manager Ma Yingjie suddenly called out to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng's figure paused, he immediately stopped, and slowly turned around: "Hall Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Manager Ma Yingjie carefully closed the window before walking quickly to Wang Cheng and saying: "I almost forgot an important matter. Since you are heading to the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine this time, do me a favor on the way."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out an ancient-looking wooden box from his bosom. The box was pitch-black, with complex and eerie patterns engraved on the surface, faintly emitting a trace of malevolent Spiritual Qi. The box was sealed tightly, clearly containing something extremely important and secretive.

Manager Ma Yingjie carefully stuffed the wooden box into Wang Cheng's hands with considerable force and a serious tone: "There is a treasure inside. You must keep it safe, and after arriving at the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine, deliver it to Young Lord Li Hu."

"You must deliver it to the Young Lord personally!" Manager Ma Yingjie urged again.

"Your subordinate obeys!" Wang Cheng carefully received the box.

Manager Ma Yingjie urged once more: "This matter is of great importance, leave immediately."

"Understood!" Wang Cheng bowed in acknowledgment and carefully placed the wooden box into his Storage Pouch.

Meanwhile, Qin Changsheng, who was far away in the small courtyard, also fell into deep thought.

Manager Ma Yingjie was so nervous in his instructions to Wang Cheng; the treasure inside must be very important to Young Lord Li Hu.

If Qin Changsheng were to take this treasure for himself, Young Lord Li Hu would certainly suffer a great loss.

However, Qin Changsheng quickly abandoned this idea.

Firstly, this treasure was extremely malevolent; at a glance, it was clearly not a good thing.

Secondly, Qin Changsheng still needed to enter the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine to mine for Spirit Stones.

If he were to misappropriate this, it would be very difficult for him to enter the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

Over the course of a year, he would lose at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Finally, Wang Cheng's identity as a mole was very important.

With Wang Cheng in the Blood Demon Sect, he would be able to clearly know whatever the Blood Demon Sect wanted to do.

When the time came, he would also be able to deal with it easily.

...

A few days later, the figure of the Incarnation Wang Cheng appeared outside the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

Looking from afar, a towering and majestic mine stood among the mountains, grand in scale and imposing in momentum, far exceeding Qin Changsheng's expectations.

The mine was surrounded by high bluestone walls, and the walls were covered with defensive runes, faintly emitting majestic Spiritual Qi and a faint Pressure, guarding the safety of the mine.

Inside the walls, countless mining tunnels crisscrossed, and one could vaguely see busy Utility Disciples and guards coming and going; it was bustling with noise and a scene of busyness.

In front of the city gate, there were several guards standing watch.

These guards were all Cultivators at the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

Clearly, Young Lord Li Hu attached great importance to the safety of the Danxia Spirit Stone Mine.

Just as Wang Cheng arrived at the gate, several guards stepped forward simultaneously, raising their hands to block his path.

"Stop! Who goes there? What is your business at the mine?"

"I am Wang Cheng, here under orders to serve as an Overseer!" After Wang Cheng finished speaking, he handed the black token to the guard captain.

The guard captain reached out to take the token and carefully examined its authenticity.

A moment later, the guard captain returned the token to Wang Cheng: "Follow me!"

Wang Cheng quickly took the token with both hands and followed behind the guard captain.

"What did Hall Master Ma ask you to come here for?" the guard captain asked.

Hearing the guard captain's words, Qin Changsheng, who was far away in the small courtyard, knew that this person was from the Blood Demon Sect.

After all, only people from the Blood Demon Sect called Manager Ma Yingjie "Hall Master Ma".

"The Hall Master asked me to convey a few words to the Young Lord!" Wang Cheng replied.

When the guard captain heard Wang Cheng's words, his expression changed slightly. He looked around before whispering: "I will take you to see the Young Lord!"

After finishing, the guard captain took Wang Cheng and headed towards a magnificent hall.

"Go in, the Young Lord is inside!" the guard captain said, pointing to the hall.

As Wang Cheng walked into the hall, he simultaneously relayed the scene inside the hall to Qin Changsheng, who was far away in the small courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Sect, via his Divine Sense.

When Wang Cheng walked into the main hall, he saw Young Lord Li Hu practicing calligraphy in front of a table.

Seeing Wang Cheng walk in, Young Lord Li Hu also turned his gaze onto Wang Cheng.

"Greetings, Young Lord!" Wang Cheng quickly bowed.

"No need for formalities!" Young Lord Li Hu was very amiable.

"What did Hall Master Ma ask you to bring over?"

"Replying to the Young Lord, Hall Master Ma asked your subordinate to hand this to you personally." As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, took the ancient-looking pitch-black wooden box from his bosom, held it with both hands, and carefully handed it to Young Lord Li Hu.

Young Lord Li Hu's gaze fell upon the wooden box, and his originally arrogant and indifferent expression turned into a hint of joy. He quickly reached out to take the wooden box, and his hands were even trembling slightly; clearly, he had been waiting for this item for a long time.
