317: History is so similar

It can now be preliminarily determined that killing these Demon Race members who have undergone Possession and Reincarnation can yield certain benefits.

However, this is definitely a trap.

Xuan Ling is not that kind-hearted, nor would he do anything meaningless.

“Where did the ethereal Qi come from? It couldn't be Immortal Qi, could it?!”

Chu Mo remembered Wan Hai once saying that this was a battlefield of Immortals and Demons, where countless Immortals and Demons had died.

Among them, the Origin of those Immortals and Demons who fell here would definitely still exist.

If, at this moment, an existence with the Heavenly Emperor's Law appeared, would it create a false impression to attract these Immortal Origins?

There's a very high possibility.

It's just... “Why doesn't Xuan Ling capture and refine this Immortal Qi himself? Why does he have to impart a Cultivation Technique and use others to do it? Also, why does Immortal Qi only enter the body after killing a Demon Race member?”

These questions.

No one could answer Chu Mo.

Perhaps Wan Hai knew something; after all, he had cooperated with Xuan Ling before, but he might not tell him these things.

“All of this, I still have to rely on myself!”

After a sigh, Chu Mo composed himself and focused his attention on Wang Fan.

“Wang Fan, from today onwards, you will leave Luoshui City and go to the outside world to slay Demon Race members.”

Saying that, he threw out a golden token.

“This is the Hall Revered Master's token of the Demon Capturing Hall. Upon encountering the Demon Capturing Hall, they will unconditionally obey your commands with this token. Additionally, Lin Teng, you are responsible for being Wang Fan's shadow, he in the light, you in the dark.”

“Do not incinerate the corpses of the slain Demon Race members; collect them all to be used as Materials for Alchemy.”

As he finished speaking.

Everyone cast sympathetic glances at Wang Fan.

There was clearly a trap in this.

However, Wang Fan had already entered the game since he began slaying Blood Demons and could no longer turn back.

Therefore, he could only be allowed to go all the way.

Nevertheless, they firmly believed that their Revered Master, as their most solid shield, would absolutely not let them come to harm.

Unlike the others, Wang Fan actually saw this as an opportunity.

At this stage, among the Disciples.

Yang Shisan, Xiao Huohuo, Lin Wu, and Li Changsheng, these four, subtly showed signs of being the Four Great True Disciples.

Although Chu Mo hadn't named them, this was how they were perceived in everyone's hearts.

And Wang Fan firmly believed that he would be no less than them.

“Under Revered Master's seat, there should be Five Great True Disciples, and slaying Demon Race members can strengthen me. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At that time, I will prove to everyone that I, Wang Fan, am destined to be a Heavenly Emperor!”

Wang Fan and Lin Teng left Luoshui City.

The others also went into seclusion, trying every possible way to remove the indelible Ten Thousand Tribulations Undying Celestial Art from their bodies, because it was a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

Xiao Huohuo, Lin Wu, Li Changsheng, and Yang Shisan, these four, followed Chu Mo to the 99th floor of the Tower of the Heavens.

As soon as everyone was seated.

Yang Shisan was the first to speak.

“Revered Master, why did you send Wang Fan to the outside world to slay Demon Race members?!”

“What we know now is that the Ten Thousand Tribulations Undying Celestial Art that suddenly appeared in your minds is a trap. If it's not removed in time, it will surely become a disaster later.

And right now, we have no clues whatsoever.

Letting Wang Fan enter the game first might allow us to observe something.”

Chu Mo clearly knew that waiting was absolutely not feasible; Wan Hai had given instructions before leaving.

To eliminate the hidden chess pieces left by Xuan Ling.

However, what those hidden chess pieces were was not specified.

Perhaps it was these Disciples whose Cultivation Techniques were altered, or perhaps something else, but one thing was certain: waiting idly by was definitely not an option.

Of course, this refers to these affected Disciples.

Chu Mo himself was not in a hurry, nor did he believe that he could simply wander around and easily eliminate Xuan Ling's hidden chess pieces.

He didn't believe there was no trap involved.

Once Xuan Ling's hidden chess pieces were eliminated, he would definitely be the first one targeted.

At that time, he would certainly be finished.

Wan Hai is not to be trusted!

After discussing some arrangements regarding Wang Fan and Lin Teng with the four, Chu Mo let them leave.

“What effect the Blood Demon Pill has, I still need to observe. If it can't be consumed, then it can only be used as a Lightning Tribulation trigger...”

As soon as he opened the chat interface, Chu Mo was stunned.

His exclusive red packet had been claimed.

The claimant was Lü Yang.

“Holy crap! I sent it to the wrong person!”

[Chu Mo: @Lü Yang, whatever Medicinal Pill I sent, absolutely do not consume it!! I haven't figured out if it's poisonous yet!]

The message was sent, but he received no reply.

Instead, other group members started to pop up.

[Qi Xuan: Chu Ge, you're too late. As soon as you sent it, Lü Yang claimed it. Now, he's probably already eaten it.]

[Ning Haocheng: Group member - 1.]

[Li Tian Ce: Group member - 1.]

[Lin Yan: It wouldn't be that bad, would it?]

[Chen Lu: Ning Ge's elixirs are strange, and Chu Ge's Medicinal Pills are similar. Do you remember when Ning Ge gave a Medicinal Pill to the Elf Queen last time?]

[Bai Lu: Ning Ge took the wrong Medicinal Pill last time, and Chu Ge sent it to the wrong person this time. Uh... history repeats itself so similarly!]

[Cao Qing: Since that's the case, I suggest Lü Yang cultivate the Supreme Dao just like me!]

[Gao Yao: Zombie?!]

[Cao Qing: That's right! Zombies are born from the resentment and filth of heaven and earth, immortal, undying, indestructible, existing outside the Six Paths. They draw strength from resentment and feed on blood. When I appear now, I can casually cause celestial phenomena, with dark clouds pressing down and constant thunder, making my entrance incredibly impactful. Isn't that enough?]

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

This celestial phenomenon upon entrance was hard to comment on.

Chu Mo, however, was not led astray by them; he just kept @ing Lü Yang and submitting a Transmigration application.

Lü Yang couldn't be poisoned to death... At the same time.

In a thatched hut on Qingxuan Peak in the Rising Sun Holy Land, Lü Yang was sitting with his eyes closed, refining the Blood Demon Pill he had swallowed.

At this moment, his body was burning hot, as if molten lava was scorching him. Simultaneously, dense, blood-red runes appeared all over his body.

These blood-red runes merged into his blood with an extremely violent force, and a tearing sensation from his Soul spread throughout his entire body.

All the pain.

Lü Yang endured it all.

“What is the pain of bone extraction, and what is Soul tearing? Refine it for me!!”

The Blood Demon Pill gradually merged into his Dantian.

Lü Yang's consciousness was also pulled into a strange space. In this space, there was nothing but a constantly surging sea of blood.

Before he could figure out the situation, the surrounding space began to distort, the temperature suddenly rose, and black flames appeared out of thin air, possessing the might to burn the heavens.

“...Desolate Ruins... Demon... Flame...”

It was very strange; Lü Yang didn't recognize the flames before him, yet he could utter three words intermittently.

Next.

Lü Yang was stunned.

He found himself inside a Pill Furnace. He and this sea of blood seemed to be treated as Materials, being used by someone for Alchemy.

And the phantom outside the Pill Furnace looked somewhat familiar.

“Chu... Chu Ge?!”
