Chapter 638: Chapter 549: First Encounter with the Devil Gate, Like Entering the Mysterious Domain! _2

"Gurgle!"

"Tsk tsk!"

"...."

In the next moment, the raving disciples nearby, who had not yet completely devoured the strange little figures on their bodies, all stopped their actions, greedily watching Chu Shiyong.

"Haha, bring me more, more. I feel like I am about to become a first-grade Rune Seed!"

With his words, a more intoxicating scent of blood spread.

The intoxicated crowd below seemed to sober up a bit, or rather, they fell into greater madness. One by one, under the moonlight, they looked at their colleagues around them with chilling eyes.

And with Chu Shiyong’s words, all the odd little figures around him rushed at him, clung to him, and started devouring ceaselessly.

Under the moonlight, Chu Shiyong’s flesh and blood was clearly emanating a rich bloody aroma, but not a drop of blood was flowing out.

His flesh was purely white. Under the ghouls’ chewing, it was like the purest fat being swallowed mouthful by mouthful.

The five Perfected ones were intoxicated with an indescribable expression on their faces.

The white flesh, under the chewing of the Five Ghosts, did not break or shatter but instead crumbled into white sands. No, it was not sand but clusters of worm eggs.

Chu Shiyong’s entire body had unknowingly completely turned into countless tiny worm eggs, piled together.

As the worm eggs were eaten by the people, many of them drifted into the banquet below with the wind.

The seemingly perfect banquet opened up another scene of demonic spectacle.

One after another, their eyes turned red as they pounced on their colleagues and began to bite each other frantically, laughing madly, and claiming they had understood something.

Under such a gluttonous feast, one by one, people were devoured alive.

After a while, when all the movements faded away, the remaining people, their cultivation had all unexpectedly benefited greatly, achieving a great breakthrough.

The five Perfected ones were even directly promoted to the peak of Perfected, causing great joy.

However, the five people always wore friendly smiles unconsciously and would occasionally scratch their heads like Chu Shiyong had previously.

At this time, at the corner of the banquet, an old man, not too ancient, had popped out unknowingly.

He wore a pleasing smile on his face just like the others at the banquet and looked at the people of the banquet satisfied.

In the next moment, he activated a Charm Summon.

Wang Zijia, incarnated as Li Shenghong with silver hair, emerged.

"Penglai Primary Destined One, Zhuo Xiaokuan, pays his respects to Sword Immortal Shenghong!"

The old man was none other than Zhuo Xiaokuan, who had been sent by Wang Zijia into the Devil Gate to stir things up for more than a year, causing a big stir with a reputation that even reached Daqian.

However, that was about it; he didn’t offer much help for the task.

Zhuo Xiaokuan couldn’t resist secretly examining Wang Zijia during their conversation. The legendary Sword Immortal from ancient times—he had heard of even in the Devil Gate.

But he never thought that he was also a Senior Destined One from Penglai.

However, with such a status, it would be too normal to experience rebirth after death.

A few days ago, he suddenly received contact from him, saying that he had also accepted the task, asking him to help sneak into the Sect.

He had been pursued by the True Person of the Burial Spirit Sect for several months, and he was already brimming with suppressed anger. The chess pieces he had randomly placed earlier had matured, and he readily agreed.

That’s why today’s banquet turned into a devil’s feast of cannibalism.

Owing to the large scale reproduction of these insects, he successfully and quietly infiltrated the Burial Spirit Sect, even though its Protective Sect Array was half activated.

Wang Zijia looked at the banquet attendees and said with an inexplicable expression, "Is this your method of sneaking in without leaving any traces?"

"In reply to Sword Immortal, this Fragrant Flesh Gu was devised by this old Daoist after researching the Burial Spirit Sect, and their two main inheritances: the Blood Spirit and Ghost Spirit. It’s a special Gu, specifically to deal with such methods of burying spirits in others, using people as furnace cauldrons to cultivate pills, and devouring people."

"Once it starts to spread, it will spread like a plague, and even a great cultivator with a primordial spirit will find it hard to banish. Besides, with such a Gu insect, although the Burial Spirit Sect is large, I can go anywhere."

"Didn’t I easily bring you in without you noticing?"

Listening to Zhuo Xiaokuan’s slightly smug words, Wang Zijia was speechless for a long while.

The first encounter with Devil Gate’s madness left Wang Zijia, who had mentally prepared himself, somewhat silent.

This Demon Dao, after having spent two years in the Devil Gate, seemed ready to contend with the devil cultivators.

His tricky and wild methods were no less imposing than those of the devil cultivators.

However, what did it have to do with him?

The devil cultivators that were killed could be seen as a form of virtuous act.

"Sword Immortal, what should we do next?" Zhuo Xiaokuan, noticing Wang Zijia’s silence, couldn’t resist asking.

Wang Zijia slightly regained his senses and raised an eyebrow, "Do you plan to follow my actions?"

If Sword Immortal does not despise, this old man is willing to willingly follow!" Zhuo Xiaokuan revealed his signature gentle smile, speaking with humility.

What a mighty existence he was, one of Penglai’s advanced individuals from thousands of years ago!

After all, as a newly entered primary individual of Penglai, he had access to shocking resources like the Nascent Configuration.

Could eight thousand years of accumulation be an ordinary thing?

"Next, I plan to topple the Burial Spirit Sect and directly declare war against the Bone Soul Sect. It’s almost as if I want to overturn the table. Are you sure you want to get involved in this murky situation?" Wang Zijia asked.

Zhuo Xiaokuan forced a smile and said, "As a junior, I also took the task of crossing tribulation and have already entered the field ahead of time. Being with the senior would be better than messing around on my own, being chased around by great cultivators of the Primordial Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia took a serious look at Zhuo Xiaokuan.

To be honest, Wang Zijia had an intimate understanding of the troubles caused by the Heterodox Daoists. If he hadn’t had various special methods back then, he probably would have ended up as the Burial Spirit Sect did, with its metaphorical head in its hands.

Even deploying Elders of the Primordial Spirit in the end merely resulted in the other side hiding.

With that thought in mind, Wang Zijia nodded and said, "Since you’re so invested, you can join. But don’t blame me if you lose your life in the process."

"Life and death are each predestined. As a junior, I’m well aware of this." Zhuo Xiaokuan smiled, asking, "Senior, what should we do next?"

"First, we need to dismantle this sect’s Protecting Sect Array. Even if it’s an incomplete seventh-grade array, it has the power of a Crossing Tribulation. We can’t destroy the Burial Spirit Sect unless we dismantle it."

Wang Zijia surveyed his surroundings, adding, "Even though I have a way, I wouldn’t dare jump into this pit directly even if I were faced with a heap of great cultivators in an instant!"

Zhuo Xiaokuan, whose face had previously been full of smiles, now looked somewhat stunned. "The Sword Immortal intends to destroy the entire Burial Spirit Sect as a declaration of war?"

’Just the Burial Spirit Sect? That’s too narrow-minded. This doesn’t count as much of a disturbance!’

As Wang Zijia’s thoughts flickered, he remained calm and asked, "So, you think that’s inappropriate?"

"Not really. I just... initially thought Sword Immortal only intended to cause a disturbance in the sect, or perhaps go on a killing spree. I didn’t expect you to take such shocking action." Zhuo Xiaokuan answered.

Wang Zijia didn’t dwell on the subject and said, "I’m going to the Inner Sect to take out the formation eye at the core. You should take care of the array foundation at the Outer Sect."

Zhuo Xiaokuan looked a bit troubled and said, "There are hundreds of array foundations among the thousands of peaks in the Outer Sect. It’s beyond my ability to take them all out without alerting anyone in a short time."

"Never mind, just take out the majority!" Wang Zijia said.

Zhuo Xiaokuan relaxed a bit, saying, "That shouldn’t be a problem."

"Then, let’s each do our part!" Wang Zijia said, glancing at the banquet attendees who had become eerily quiet, as if they were puppets. "I’ll take the lead. I need to infiltrate in their identity."

"They’re just food for the Gu insects. Take them as you need, senior." Zhuo Xiaokuan paused and then continued, "He’s not dead yet, only fully controlled by me and he doesn’t know it. If you want to replace him, I can search his soul."

"There’s no need. I have my own methods for searching souls, and you don’t need to bother."

With that, Wang Zijia waved his hand and summoned the slender man to his side.

Raising his hand and pointing, a touch of spiritual light flew from his fingers, sinking into the man’s forehead under his vacant gaze.

The Demonic Seed Power was activated and the Demon Seeding was completed in an instant.

Then he focused his mind.

"Swish!"

As his body squirmed, an invisible, strange human skin quietly enveloped him.
