Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Penetration Situation

"You... You... You are an elder of the Wanyu Sect?" Number Two was completely horrified when he heard the oath discovered by Wang Zijia.

However, Wang Zijia completely ignored his reaction and snapped his fingers once again.

"Stop! I’m talking, ah..."

Immediately after, Number Two let out another harrowing scream.

"I was wrong, I knew I was wrong, please, I won’t dare to do it again..."

"Damn it..."

"Ah... Just kill me..."

"Devil, you are a devil, ah..."

Number Two howled miserably, cursing and swearing for about a quarter of an hour, till his spirit seemed somewhat scattered, and Wang Zijia only then snapped his fingers again.

"Sigh..."

Number Two fell to the ground, like a lump of mud, sweating profusely. The sounds of his panting were like a broken phoenix box.

"Have you calmed down now?" Wang Zijia asked again.

In response to Wang Zijia’s indifferent words, Number Two subconsciously trembled for a moment, immediately forced himself up to his knees, and respectfully replied, "If you want to know something, I will tell you everything without reserve. I only hope that you will give me a quick end afterward."

"Start with yourself, and also the situation of your Blood Hidden Group." Wang Zijia said, without revealing any change in expression.

"I was born in Wanzhou, affiliated with the Bone Soul Sect, I was discovered to possess spiritual roots when I was seven, forty years ago, and was trained in the sect for three years before I was sent to the Wanyu Immortal Sect to replace Liu Chengyu of the small Liu family from the Essence Blood Vein and become Number Two of the Blood Hidden Group."

"I started being in charge of tasks like collecting information for the inheritance of the Blood Demon in the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain. As you may already know, the main purpose of our group’s establishment was for the Blood Demon inheritance..."

Number Two was extremely honest this time. He resignedly recounted information about himself as well as relevant information about the Blood Hidden Group within the Essence Blood Vein.

"So you’re saying the deputy head of the Essence Blood Vein is also one of your people?" Wang Zijia frowned.

"Yes, the Hall Master personally treated the injuries of the deputy head of the Essence Blood Vein, Gou Hongyuan, and also helped him breakthrough to the late stage of Sacrificial wine. Hence, we were eventually successful in recruiting him." Number Two replied respectfully.

"You truly don’t know who the Hall Master is?" Wang Zijia asked.

"Since you could pretend to be Number Nine, you should know about our single-line downward communication in the Wanyu Sect. We don’t know everything about our subordinates, let alone the Hall Master."

"Everyone only has a list of direct subordinates, and probably only the Hall Master has a complete list of the entire sect. I knew all these because I followed Deputy Vein Master Gou Hongyuan for many years and came to know many secrets."

Number Two, as he spoke, glanced carefully at Wang Zijia, fearful that he might unintentionally anger Wang Zijia and be subjected to another round of torture.

Wang Zijia, however, was inwardly grave. It seemed like the Wanyu Sect had been infiltrated extensively.

But upon thinking again, it was probably only some of the Outer Sect branches. After all, the Outer Sect of the Wanyu Sect was already like a country in its own right. Even in his previous life, when information was so widely available, every corner had spies, hadn’t it?

This issue sounded serious but was probably not as severe as it seemed.

Engrossed in his thoughts, Wang Zijia beckoned with his hand, and a droplet-like blood-colored crystal appeared in his palm. "What is this?" he asked.

"Blood God Crystal!" Number Two immediately replied while keeping his head low, "It’s said to be a kind of consumable treasure refined by the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect in the past. This object can be used to activate spells, amplifying their effects by ten times of the average child stage Essence Blood."

Wang Zijia’s eyes flashed slightly, and he was pretty sure that this was the Blood Droplet, except it was a refined version. Well, they might have added some private goods into it.

"Then why can it defend against the mysterious erosion from this domain?" Wang Zijia asked, frowning.

"I’m not sure about that. It was discovered unintentionally by a disciple of the Essence Blood Vein decades ago. This Blood God Crystal somehow resonates incredibly well in the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain."

"As for why this domain treats Blood God Crystal so favorably, I don’t know. After all, we had no idea about this domain either." As he said this, he quickly added, fearing that Wang Zijia wouldn’t believe him:

"However, after years of constant studies, I have come to a guess."

He stole a quick glance at Wang Zijia, and seeing that he was still listening, he went on, "My guess is that the Mortician from back then likely had some foundation from the Blood Demon Sect, possibly even a orphan of the Blood Demon Sect. That would explain why he dared to encoffin the disciple of the Blood Demon Sect and obtain its inheritance."

Wang Zijia’s eyes lit up. Right, a Mortician who was not from the same sect would not have corresponding measures to deal with restrictions placed by the sect’s inheritance, hence they shouldn’t have the confidence to extract the inheritance.

Well, this didn’t seem to be very useful for the current situation.

"What else do you know about this domain?"

"..."

The two of them went on like this, answering and asking questions, for more than an hour before Wang Zijia ran out of questions.

"You may leave now!" Wang Zijia stated calmly.

"Leave? Eh, are you willing to let me go?" Number Two, Liu Chengyu, asked in surprise.

"If you intend to continue seeking death, I don’t think I can completely stop you. You can also pretend that nothing happened and stay as you were, waiting for my orders." Wang Zijia replied indifferently.

At his words, Liu Chengyu’s eyes sparkled, promptly understanding Wang Zijia’s intentions—he wanted him to be a double agent.

"I understand!" As he finished speaking, Liu Chengyu bowed respectfully, then looked at Wang Zijia, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"What else do you want to say?" Wang Zijia asked.

"With my limited cultivation, against the erosion of this domain..." Liu Chengyu glanced at the blood-colored droplet in Wang Zijia’s hand and nervously asked.

"There’s no need for you to worry about that, I’ll make sure you remain unscathed."

Wang Zijia’s words were filled with confidence. At worst, he could just help Liu Chengyu cleanse the erosion periodically.

As long as it wasn’t nighttime, and since Liu Chengu had already avoided the first wave of erosion, he could cleanse Liu Chengyu once daily. It wouldn’t be too troublesome as he didn’t need to keep a constant watch over him.

"I understand!" Liu Chengyu bowed once again and went out.

"If you reveal a single word about tonight, you’ll suffer ten times the pain you endured tonight."

Behind him, Wang Zijia’s voice rang out. Liu Chengyu, who was leaving, shivered subconsciously and immediately replied, "I understand."

With that, he quietly exited the cultivation room.

After watched Liu Chengyu leave, Wang Zijia fiddled with the blood-colored crystal in his hand, contemplating the events of the night and the various information about the Blood Hidden Group.

After a long while, he came back to reality, put away the crystal with a flip of his hand, and with a thought, a ghost fog emerged from his body. In front of Wang Zijia, it condensed into five chubby little Fuwas dressed in red bellybands.
