Chapter 2264: Chapter 2268: Is It Cooperation? (Extra Chapter for ’Gan’!)

”He said that mysterious force all wore masks.”

Tong Hu explained softly.

”No way! If they could destroy Lingtian Pavilion in such a short time, the leader of that mysterious force must be at least in the mid Unity Realm Stage, or even in the late Unity Realm Stage. It’s absolutely impossible that they just repelled Fan Zhongming; if a late Unity Realm expert fully engaged an early Unity Realm, instant annihilation wouldn’t be unexpected!”

Tong Hai spoke solemnly.

”This... Could it be that the leader of the mysterious force sensed our arrival, so they spared Fan Zhongming?”

Tong He slightly furrowed his brow: ”However, since they could annihilate Lingtian Pavilion so swiftly, they shouldn’t be afraid of us, right?”

”They are not afraid of you killing them, but they fear you recognizing them!”

At this moment, Jiang Chen had already confirmed his bold suspicion in his heart. Amid his inner turmoil, he spoke in a deep voice: ”Fan Zhongming was only repelled by the leader of that mysterious force and not annihilated, there is only one possibility—they know each other, or say, Fan Zhongming is one of the mysterious force!”

”What?”

”How is this possible!”

Tong Hai and the others were all shocked, exclaiming in disbelief as they looked at Jiang Chen.

”Gentlemen, if you don’t believe it, you can go back and verify if Fan Zhongming was the first to appear at Wuyou Island after its destruction, and he appeared not long after the island was destroyed!”

Jiang Chen spoke solemnly.

”This... He indeed appeared shortly after Wuyou Island was destroyed, but what does that prove?”

Tong Hai stared straight at Jiang Chen. Actually, he already somewhat believed what Jiang Chen said, but he just needed some more compelling evidence, after all, that’s the Domain Lord!

”Prove what? Wuyou Island is an isolated island beyond the coast. Why did Fan Zhongming, as a Domain Lord, go there for no reason? Moreover, why suppress the news of Wuyou Island’s destruction? Don’t talk about causing panic; to put it bluntly, when does the Void Nether Realm not see sects destroyed? Will one sect’s annihilation cause panic?”

Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice.

The Void Nether Realm is different from Yuan Star. On Yuan Star, if a village is slaughtered, it would cause nationwide or even worldwide panic. But in the Void Nether Realm, slaughter is common; even the massacre of Molten Fire Town only caused a ripple in Shenmu Prefecture. How could the annihilation of one sect cause panic?

”This...”

Tong Hai and the others exchanged glances. Initially, they didn’t think much, but after Jiang Chen’s analysis, they immediately felt that Fan Zhongming’s reasons for sealing the news were untenable!

”If it truly was Fan Zhongming’s doing, why did he do this? What advantage does he gain from it? He would still be accountable for the mysterious annihilation of a sect within his jurisdiction!”

Tong He spoke with a frown, his eyes showing a trace of confusion.

On the side, Sang Zhenye’s face suddenly changed. At this point, he finally understood why Jiang Chen asked the three of Tong Hai to investigate the relationship between Zhang Yubo and the Nether Kui Snake!

”Because they can take the opportunity to enhance their power!”

Sang Zhenye spoke with a troubled expression.

Tong Hai and the others paused for a moment, looking at Sang Zhenye in surprise.

Sang Zhenye confirmed with Tong Hai and the others about the condition of Lingtian Pavilion’s members and mentioned the devouring power of the Nether Kui Snake.

”What!?”

”That Nether Kui Snake has such abilities?!”

Tong Hai and the others’ faces changed, exclaiming.

”So it means that the destruction of Wuyou Island and Lingtian Pavilion was caused by the Nether Kui Snake! And Fan Zhongming... collaborated with the Nether Kui Snake?”

Tong Hai’s eyes showed disbelief, could Fan Zhongming as the Domain Lord benefit from collaborating with the Nether Kui Snake?

”It should be a collaboration, but it’s not Fan Zhongming collaborating with the Nether Kui Snake! It’s Zhang Yubo collaborating with the Nether Kui Snake!”

Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice.

”What?! Zhang Yubo!?”

”How can this be!?”

”Zhang Yubo is the Domain Lord, how could he...”

Tong Hai and the others exclaimed, looking at Jiang Chen with disbelief.

”Actually, I initially thought Zhang Yubo was controlled by the Nether Kui Snake, but then thinking again, it’s unlikely; Zhang Yubo himself possesses peak Integration Realm power, that Nether Kui Snake should not be able to control him!”

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

”Control!? Nether Kui Snake can control others?”

Even Sang Zhenye was amazed.

He knew about the Nether Kui Snake because he saw its introduction in the Archive Pavilion at Changling Main Court once before, though the introduction was very brief, only mentioning its devouring power, without any further detail.

”Yes!”

Jiang Chen nodded heavily: ”The Nether Kui Snake can create something called Soul-devour Seed by our people back home, and as long as it implants this Soul-devour Seed into the Divine Soul, or Primordial Spirit Seed, it can control the Primordial Spirit to self-destruct. Through this method, the Nether Kui Snake can control others!”

”Soul-devour Seed?!”

”Mr Jiang, how do you know this?”

Tong Hai and others were puzzled looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was just a cultivator in the Mid Divine Infant Realm, even Sang Zhenye didn’t know, which meant it’s not recorded in Changlin Academy’s archives, so how did he know?

Only Sang Zhenye could somewhat guess from Jiang Chen’s words.

”Because it was once the biggest enemy of our homeland, and it controlled some of the forces in our homeland through the Soul-devour Seed, almost causing my entire homeland to fall into its hands!”

Jiang Chen spoke gloomily, his eyes flashing with a chilling icy light.

Sang Zhenye shuddered. He only knew Jiang Chen was the leader of Yuan Star, the legendary Dragon Descendant, knowing Twelve Archipelago Powers including the sea tribes once attempted to invade Yuan Star, yet he never heard about the Nether Kui Snake!

”This... has the Nether Kui Snake already begun its actions? Doesn’t that mean such incidents might happen elsewhere too?!”

Tong Hai tightened his expression and spoke deeply.

”Other places I’m not sure about, but regarding Wuyou Island and Lingtian Pavilion, based on what you described, I can confirm it was done by the Nether Kui Snake!”

Jiang Chen spoke coldly: ”I didn’t expect to encounter it again!”

Feeling the bone-chilling killing intent radiating from Jiang Chen, they couldn’t help but believe his words!

Buzz!

Jiang Chen raised his hand, and a surge of spiritual power emerged from his body, a drop of essence blood infused with spiritual power flew out from his finger towards Tong Hai.

”Senior Tong Hai, this is a drop of my essence blood with spiritual power that can detect the devouring power of the Nether Kui Snake, you should nurture it in your Sea of Consciousness.”

Jiang Chen spoke softly: ”Rest assured, the essence blood only exists to preserve the spiritual power, devoid of my slightest consciousness. When encountering devouring power, it will vibrate, allowing you to confirm if someone is related to the Nether Kui Snake!”

Tong Hai was slightly stunned, gently nodded, and extended a strand of Primordial Spirit Power to wrap the essence blood, drawing it into his Sea of Consciousness.
