Chapter 742: Chapter 100 An Jing’s Astonishing Worldly Wisdom (4800)_2

The merchant seemed about to speak, but before he could make a move, the Golden Light God General suddenly turned back, and even at the risk of his body completely dissipating, he transmitted a beam of golden light through his thoughts, piercing the merchant’s skull and exploding into a red-gray firework.

The ordeal wasn’t over; tiny blue-gold flames ignited inside the merchant’s skull, which, presumably, were also Karmic Fire.

"Well, it seems that even the thought of betrayal is not permissible; the Shangxuan Sect is truly formidable."

An Jing was not surprised. The gang leaders on the Tianyuan Realm side all had the karma fire curse seal, it would be improbable if the elite spy from the Huai Xu Realm didn’t have it.

He turned his head, looking at the last elderly ghost: "Are you from Taiming Sect? If you too cannot speak, then end yourself to avoid the torment of being burned by the Netherworld Ghost Flame."

The old man’s ghost conveyed a grateful look, then communicated through thoughts: [Thank you An, I indeed cannot speak of it, but there is something I deduced, which is not restricted.]

"Oh?" An Jing, intrigued, responded: "Then tell me, I will burn some incense for you later to make your reincarnation easier."

[Dust Li’s First Middle Gate dispatched an individual of significant importance akin to your status An, to the vicinity of the largest city nearby, seemingly intent on seizing something critical.]

The old man, experienced, carefully chose his words, avoiding any prohibited phrases: [Dust Li’s Middle Gate is currently bogged down in the Demon-Extermination Mire, all actions must be in the name of the Heavenly Demon, but the Heavenly Demon has been defeated and is no longer the greatest threat... Beware of changes where souls go after death.]

An Jing slightly nodded—the Taiming Sect sent a True Transmission near Red Tower City to stir trouble in an attempt to seize something critical. Bright Mirror Sect is stuck in a demon-hunting mire, but in reality, the opponent is not the Heavenly Demon, similar to how the initial dead Pharmacist Demon was the weakest that time; behind the current crisis of Bright Mirror Sect, there are the combined forces of various powers targeting it.

And in the end, beware of disturbances from the Netherworld.

"I think I understand now." An Jing mused: "What do you wish for yourself?"

[Please kill me with your hands, let me die in battle.]

"Your wish will be granted."

An Jing slightly nodded, put a palm down, and the old man’s ghost dispersed like mist, completely dissipated—simultaneously, a restriction within the depths of his soul slightly moved, transmitting back the information that the old man’s ghost was killed directly by someone.

"You guys are indeed dedicated, getting killed by me must have its perks, no wonder that Martial Artist risked his life to clash directly with me, he just wanted to die."

True to his word, An Jing burnt an incense for the Taiming Sect spy. The power of this incense exists if you believe, and is indeed helpful for people from the Taiming Sect.

After completing all this, he waved his hand, dispelling the Frost Blade, while the temple riddled with holes shook and then collapsed.

An Jing brushed off the falling rubble, bending down to search the bodies of the four people for clues.

As An Jing had suspected, the Martial Artist who merged with the artifact was a covert scout from Da Chen, with Da Chen’s pill whistle and secret messages on his body, and half-written reply.

The essence of the secret message and reply was that based on estimates, An Jing had arrived near Red Tower City, the effort to track him should be undertaken covertly; the Martial Artist agreed, but mentioned the harsh conditions around Red Tower City requiring more funds.

The list was not yet complete, but it was evident that, in life, this Martial Artist was a man of grace – expensing lavishly without stopping.

The merchant was undoubtedly from the Shangxuan Sect, his talisman was precisely that of the Golden Armor Warrior of the Shangxuan Sect, recognizable at first strike, though he had nothing like a secret order on him.

After the old man died, his ghostly body turned into ash, containing almost nothing, An Jing felt through it, retrieving something from the ashes...

A lens?

"Eh?"

Seeing this well-polished bronze mirror, An Jing was momentarily stunned, then let out a light ’eh’, frowning: "This, this is..."

"Isn’t this the Bright Mirror Sect’s token?"

There are many tokens of the Bright Mirror Sect, but the communicative bronze mirror is the most common and widely seen, used for intra-sect communication and confirming identities.

Of course, also not easily traced back to ascertain which side one is from.

An Jing pondered: "Could it be, this elder was not only from the Taiming Sect but also had connections with some people inside the sect?"

"Ha, I’m speaking unnecessarily, they definitely have connections with people inside the sect, otherwise how could they freely operate within the sect’s jurisdiction?"

Thinking thus, An Jing also became more cautious, seriously searching the bodies of the Martial Artist, merchant, and Pharmacist again, finding more clues.

More bronze mirrors.

An Jing silently observed the four bronze mirrors in his hand.

Indeed.

Not only the old man, but the Martial Artist and the Pharmacist also had the bronze mirror tokens of the Bright Mirror Sect.

Even... the Demon Man, the Pharmacist, also had this bronze mirror.

An Jing fell into deep thought: "All insiders? This Bright Mirror Sect, could it really be doomed?"

These cursed sects, they really can’t get any better!

By now, the situation had become very clear.

All four skillful strangers are spies from major forces, including Da Chen, Taiming, Shangxuan, Heavenly Demon, each connected with some inside the Bright Mirror Sect, and can even be said not to be simply spies of those great powers but rather subordinates of the major insiders of the Bright Mirror Sect.

Their gathering here was a destiny, and also inevitable.

Because as everyone knew, it was highly likely An Jing would be wandering around this place, around Red Tower City.
