Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 24: Chaos
Wanbao Building, inside the basement.
All the magic practitioners except Master Xueshi gathered together.
The underworld acts extremely cautiously, and even if this kind of meeting is carried out in secret, it is inevitable that clues will be revealed.
Therefore, they usually exchange information through secret messages, and try to avoid gathering in groups to discuss matters unless it is a major event.
"It's only been a day since the last meeting and Lord Luosha has summoned us here again. Could something big have happened?" The demon cultivators whispered.
"Hey, but why is the blood corpse not here?" Someone discovered a clue.
…
knock--
The old man in the lead tapped the table lightly, interrupting everyone's discussion.
Everyone turned their eyes to the old man called Rakshasa.
Luosha glanced at everyone in the room and said in a cold voice, "The identity of the blood corpse has been exposed. This afternoon, he was captured alive by the monks of Zhishou Tower in the city and is currently being held in the prison department."
Everyone looked at each other, only Master Kuhun's face became extremely ugly. Seeing this, Luosha's eyes flickered, but he didn't say much.
There was silence for a while, and finally, someone spoke up to break the deadlock: "The Blood Corpse has always been cautious in doing things, and has been operating in Yuanshan City for decades. His disguise is flawless. How was he discovered?"
Luosha's eyes were grim. "That's right. If the intelligence system of Zhishou Tower was so tight that it could see through the disguise of the blood corpse, then everyone present should have been killed. How could they gather here? Therefore, the blood corpse's identity was exposed, and there is a high probability that there is something else going on."
"Lord Luosha, do you mean... there is a traitor among us?" a cultivator asked tentatively in a low voice.
Suddenly, there was an uproar.
The meaning of this sentence cast a layer of suspicion over everyone on the field.
The people in the underworld act on their own and betray the human race for profit. They are driven together and there is no trust between them.
As soon as he heard that there might be a traitor, he looked at every colleague around him with a sense of vigilance.
“When people from the underworld enter the underworld, a demon poison is planted in their souls. If anyone betrays them, the demon poison will devour their souls and cause them unbearable pain. Therefore, I still trust the loyalty of everyone here to the underworld.” Luosha said slowly.
The Heart Demon is one of the eight eighth-grade holy demon bloodlines of the demon race. One of its special abilities is that it can give birth to the Heart Demon Poison.
The inner demon poison is planted in the soul of a cultivator and will continue to grow as the cultivator's cultivation level increases.
The Heart Demon Gu has a simple intelligence. Whenever its host has the intention of betrayal, the Heart Demon Gu will immediately unleash its soul-devouring power and cruelly devour the host's soul.
Until the host's soul is destroyed.
Soul-devouring pain is the most painful thing in the world.
Compared with the Soul Eater, no matter how sophisticated Zhishoulou's interrogation methods are, they are no more than this.
Therefore, captured members of the underworld rarely betray the underworld because of torture.
Since the inner demon poison has merged with the soul of the monk it parasitizes on, it is difficult for others to remove the poison except the one who planted it.
Because the soul is the most vulnerable part of a cultivator!
Without this Gu, the underworld would not have been able to grow stronger.
——Most of the members of the underworld are human traitors who are pursuing profit.
These people can even betray their own race for their own interests. Who can guarantee that they will not betray the underworld again for their own interests?
As for these evildoers, they can only be controlled by relying on coercive means such as the Heart Demon Gu to fight violence with violence.
“But…” Luosha’s eyes flashed with coldness, “I believe you dare not betray the underworld, but there is no guarantee that some idiots will do something stupid and drag down the blood corpse.”
"Crying Soul, I just mentioned the capture of the blood corpse, and your face looked strange. Do you know something?" Luosha looked at Zhenren Crying Soul with a face as gloomy as water.
Facing Rakshasa's questioning, True Man Crying Soul felt nervous, as it was obvious that Rakshasa held great power in his heart.
"Lord Luosha, I do know something." At this point, True Man Kuhun no longer dared to hide it, "The corpse-refining cave hidden in the mountains by True Man Xueshi was raided by an unknown cultivator the other day, and his female disciple came to Yuanshan City to look for the blood corpse for this reason.
I didn't take it seriously at first, because there was nothing else in Blood Corpse Master's corpse refining cave except a few corpse pools.
Although the refining of corpse puppets was expressly prohibited by Da Xia, there were still evil cultivators who secretly refined corpse puppets over the years, so the blood corpse would not be exposed.
His several disciples were also unaware of Blood Corpse's identity as a demon cultivator and only thought that Blood Corpse was an evil cultivator.
So I didn't take this matter seriously. When the adults asked about the blood corpse, I saw that the blood corpse didn't speak directly, so I didn't expose him.
Now that I think about it, the reason why the blood corpse's identity was exposed must be related .
After all, there can be no such coincidence in the world. His old nest was destroyed the day before yesterday, and today he was exposed."
"How stupid!" Luosha said angrily, "This blood corpse seems to be very careful in his actions. I usually think highly of him, but I didn't expect that he would even dare to hide such a thing!"
Suddenly, something in Luosha's heart moved, and a message came out of it, reaching the soul between his eyebrows. Luosha closed his eyes slightly, released the defense of his soul, and received the information.
All the magic cultivators on the field were silent and dared not say much.
After a few breaths.
Luosha opened his eyes and said in a cold voice: "The inner demon poison in the blood corpse is dead."
The inner demon poison coexists with the host.
Since the Blood Corpse's inner demon Gu is dead, it means that the Blood Corpse True Man must have died as well.
"Something's wrong." Soul-Crying Master frowned and asked in confusion, "When Zhishou Tower captures people from our underworld, they always detain them for a very long time, and use many means to try to obtain some intelligence during this period. The blood corpse was captured only a few hours ago, how could Zhishou Tower take action against the blood corpse so quickly?"
"This is extremely strange, and it happened at this time."
What True Man Kuhun said made all the magic cultivators present fall into deep thought.
"Then Lord Rakshasa, should we still proceed with our plan as usual?" someone finally asked.
Luosha's eyes were vague and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
The demon cultivators on the field fell silent, awaiting Luosha's decision.
A long time passed.
Luosha's eyes flashed with cold light: "Proceed as usual, our Qingzhou branch has been planning the Corpse Rebellion for many years.
If this is accomplished, among the many state palaces in the Southern Region, our Qingzhou will be the leader.
The plan to seize the Heavenly Mirror from Yuanshan City is an extremely important part of the Corpse Rebellion plan. We have no reason to give up.
With the inner demon poison, Master Xueshi will definitely not reveal our actions to Zhishoulou.
On the contrary, Qi Yuan might be more determined to use the Heavenly Secret Mirror to investigate the heart of the blood pool because of the exposure of the blood corpse.
No matter what, for the sake of the underworld, I will not hesitate to die!"
"This matter has come to an end for now. Right now, the priority is to seize the mirror. Go back and check the tasks assigned to you again. If you make any mistakes again, I will not let you off easily."
There was a faint flash of blood in Rakshasa's eyes, and demonic energy was overflowing.
The composition of the underworld's members is extremely complex. In addition to a large number of human cultivators who are controlled by the inner demon poison, there are also many real demons and half-demons and half-humans who are reincarnated with demon blood.
Rakshasa is a demon.
Different from those human cultivators, during his reincarnation in the blood pool of the underworld, he transformed into the blood of the demon clan and could be considered a member of the demon clan.
…
Many demon cultivators retreated.
Looking at the empty basement, Luosha rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little ominous.
no.
This matter is of great importance, so don't take your chances. There are many strange things about the capture of the blood corpse, so you still need to make more preparations.
Thinking of this, Rakshasa focused his mind on the wriggling thing in his heart.
A divine thought containing information was transmitted through the squirming creature.
