Mirror World.

In a county town to the east,

Du Chuang remarked with some perplexity, "Master, as we traveled, we asked about ghostly apparitions and bizarre rumors everywhere but whenever we arrived, we either found them to be scams or misunderstandings, or the spirits had already been eliminated by the Zhou Tian Sect..."

An elderly man beside him nodded and said, "It is clear that the Zhou Tian Sect is intentionally slaying these spirits and collecting their relics."

Du Chuang looked at the row of emaciated people with hollow eyes slumped lifelessly against a wall on the street side.

He frowned and said, "It seems that in the domain of the Fifth Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect, people who consume Dragon Tiger Extreme Joy Powder are much more numerous."

The elderly man chuckled and said, "Among the Six Elders of the Zhou Tian Sect, each has their own mess. This Fifth Elder, Ma Hong, is a second-generation Poison Master. The Dragon Tiger Extreme Joy Powder is his business, so naturally, it’s more prevalent in his area."

"A second-generation Poison Master?" Du Chuang, feeling a strong sense of threat upon hearing this.

If one were to say that those who possessed the second lineage were each powerful enough to dominate a region, each appearing to Du Chuang as fearsome war machines.

Then, a Poison Master among the second lineage seemed even more dangerous in his eyes, their mysterious and unpredictable poisonous techniques capable of instilling fear and avoidance in any formidable expert.

Du Chuang quickly asked, "Are we going to confront this Fifth Elder on our journey?"

The elder shook his head and answered, "Don’t worry, I heard that this Fifth Elder has already gone to a secret realm and is temporarily not on his territory."

Du Chuang slightly relaxed on hearing this and then sighed, "If that’s the case... I fear that place will suffer greatly."

...

Although Lin Xing was very curious about the purpose of the madwoman from the Taiqing Sect visiting Hailan Country, he had more pressing matters at hand.

"I came to perform chivalrous deeds and safeguard this world, let’s find the King of Hailan first."

However, just as Lin Xing was about to stay away from the two fighting sides, Jing Shiyu pulled him aside and said, "You go find the king first, Zhang Tiande and I will check out what’s happening over there."

Lin Xing said, "That crazy woman from Taiqing Sect is over there , it might be dangerous for you to go now."

Jing Shiyu responded, "My Dharma Eye and your Spiritual Vision searching separately will be more efficient. Besides, people from both Taiqing Sect and Da Guangming Temple are here, and our goals might conflict. It’s better I take a look and be prepared."

"Don’t worry, I’ll just watch from a distance, not go fight them."

"Contact me by phone if there’s any problem."

Watching Jing Shiyu turn and leave with Zhang Tiande, Lin Xing, seeing some sense in Jing Shiyu’s words, continued north with Bai Yiyi.

Soon, his Spiritual Vision detected many men and women living a life of debauchery in a palace to the north.

Wine bottles, food, bowls, and clothing were scattered everywhere.

Large amounts of Dragon Tiger Extreme Joy Powder were piled on the tables and chairs.

Some men and women, already weak and elderly, appeared lively and energetic, frolicking through the palace.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Xing felt his eyes burn, thinking if he were in his own country, he would have already called the police, "This is Hailan’s royal family? It seems they have all been tainted by the Dragon Tiger Extreme Joy Powder."

He continued sensing with his Spiritual Vision and in a further north room—a study—a middle-aged man in a suit sat at a desk with a look of distress.

Lin Xing and his companions had already seen photos of the King of Hailan before their action, instantly recognizing him.

"There, good... It seems he hasn’t taken the Dragon Tiger Extreme Joy Powder yet."

Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi immediately sneaked into the study.

Seeing the masked figures suddenly appear, the King of Hailan jumped in shock, "Who... who are you?"

Lin Xing spoke up, "Don’t be afraid, you’re the King of Hailan, right? We are here to rescue you."

"Rescue me?" The King of Hailan laughed bitterly, collapsing into his chair, "What’s the use of rescuing me?"

"Moreover, the military and civil officials inside the country have mostly been controlled by the Zhou Tian Sect using Dragon Tiger Extreme Joy Powder, there’s nothing that can be done now."

The King of Hailan looked at Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi wearing masks and sighed, "Are you from the Northern Army? Or some rebel group from the mountains?"

He shook his head, "It’s too late already, you should hurry and escape. If people from the Zhou Tian Sect find you here, I won’t be able to save you..."

However, Lin Xing, uninterested in further discussion, grabbed the King of Hailan and started walking toward the door.

"What are you doing!" the King of Hailan exclaimed, "Didn’t I tell you..."

Before he could finish, Lin Xing’s gaze sharpened, and he swiftly pulled himself, Master Bai, and the king back.

Through his Spiritual Vision, he sensed a massive dark mass charging toward them from outside the room.

With a loud bang, a swarm of black clouds smashed the door to pieces, blocking their escape route.

Seeing the black cloud, the King of Hailan’s face turned pale as he said, "Elder Ma... Elder Ma, I told them not to rescue, it was all... they insisted on taking me."

The layers of black cloud emitted a buzzing sound, revealing it to be a mass of grotesque insects with a black metallic sheen, merging into a cloud-like formation.

Looking at these fierce insects, the King of Hailan recalled the horrifying scenes of rebels being devoured in an instant.
