Chapter 2543: The Cult of the Evil Pots

Odd Xie w.a.n.g always intrigued Feather and made the grinding sessions all the more interesting.

But as they continued grinding, the Xie w.a.n.gs they encountered became increasingly peculiar, which raised some concerns.

Mutated Xie w.a.n.gs were not as common as cabbages, and they were only grinding a few malevolent beings within Wenzhou City. So why did they keep encountering mutated Xie w.a.n.gs repeatedly?

Senior White wasn’t accompanying them on this journey.

Therefore, Feather couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something hidden beneath the surface of this matter.

Things were getting more and more intriguing.

With a happy wave, Feather beckoned to Song Shuhang. The senior members in the group had spoken the truth—Senior Song possessed a unique const.i.tution. If Su Clan’s Sixteen had a pa.s.sive ‘kabedon’ const.i.tution, then Senior Song undoubtedly had an active ‘absorb and withstand disasters’ const.i.tution.

Song Shuhang: “Blessed Everyone, I’ll Fight If You’re in Trouble.”

It was precisely because of this unique const.i.tution that when a disaster was about to strike, Senior Song would proactively bear the brunt of it due to the influence of his special const.i.tution.

And when Senior Song faced disasters, he invariably stumbled upon many interesting occurrences.

This was a formula.

“That’s wonderful,” Feather said enviously. She also wished to possess Senior Songs physique. If she could be like Senior Song and have the ability to sense and absorb disasters, her life would undoubtedly be filled with excitement.

Song Shuhang was confused.

Why did he feel that Feather was regarding him with a peculiar gaze?

Lady Onion emerged from Song Shuhangs pocket and curiously inquired,

“What’s so special about this malevolent being?”

“When I used the ‘Time Burial’ sword technique against this malevolent being, I severed a total of nine strands of its ‘life.’ This is also why the energy expended by the ‘Time Burial’ sword technique exceeded the budget of Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword and me.” Feather shook the Heart Demon Scarlet

Heaven Sword in her hand, which was as pliable as noodles, and replied.

“Cut off nine strands of its life force? So, it revived eight times?” Song Shuhang asked.

This was astounding. It could instantly revive without worrying about the cost. Even Resurrection Coins couldn’t achieve this…

Unfortunately, the Xie w.a.n.g had encountered Feather’s unorthodox ‘Time Burial’ sword technique. It had been instantly revived eight times but perished in an instant nonetheless.

Reality proved that sometimes, quick resurrection was not a boon. The quicker they revived, the sooner they perished.

He needed to bear this in mind and take it as a lesson.

Feather shook her head and explained, “I don’t think it was revived eight times. It feels more like… it possessed nine distinct individual ‘life forces,’ all existing concurrently. That’s why I extinguished nine of its life forces in an instant.”

“Nine distinct life forces existing simultaneously, yet interconnected? A Nine-lives Demon Cat?” Song Shuhang suggested subconsciously.

Pavilion Master Chu tugged on Song Shuhangs hair and made a cross. “No, it’s more akin to a nine-headed snake. Each head possesses full life force. Regardless of which head is killed, the other eight heads remain br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality.”

The White Dragon added, “In other words, this Xie w.a.n.g here is essentially one of the nine life forces. The other eight life forces might be concealed elsewhere?”

“Yes, yes, that’s it,” Feather affirmed.

She followed the clues and employed Time Burial to eliminate this life force and the other eight life forces located in various areas.

“The Great Dao of Time should not be provoked, should not be provoked!” Song Shuhang reiterated.

He now understood what the White Dragon had meant.

In the future, he believed he should maintain a better att.i.tude when facing the Celestial Thearch. He shouldn’t dismiss her terrifying side simply because she often acted cute.

If he angered the Celestial Thearch and she employed her true ‘path of time’ killer move against him, regardless of how many resurrection methods he possessed, he wouldn’t be able to counter it.

“Malevolent beings that are artificially nurtured and capable of fusion; Xie

w.a.n.gs with an organization capable of sharing ‘illusory reality’; and Xie w.a.n.gs with nine vitality heads scattered worldwide… since when did mutated Xie w.a.n.gs become so common?” The White Dragon pondered.

She had experienced the turbulent eras and evil times of the world.

In the past, while there were mutated Xie w.a.n.gs, their density was never this “So, I suspect someone is orchestrating this intentionally,” Feather raised her hand and expressed her theory. “Given the signs of Xie w.a.n.gs being artificially nurtured, could it be that someone has been intentionally collecting mutated Xie w.a.n.gs, secretly plotting to use them for a conspiracy?” “Feather, your thoughts align with mine,” Song Shuhang chuckled.

Su Clan’s Sixteen contemplated for a moment and suggested, “Then, let’s explore the nearby area and grind another batch of malevolent beings. We’ll check for mutated malevolent beings among them and mark their locations for a.n.a.lysis. With real data, we can determine if someone is covertly scheming.”

“First, let’s retrieve the Malevolent Core,” Song Shuhang agreed.

Simultaneously, he extended his right hand.

The Defiant Whale Glove opened at the fingertips.

“Wuvvuwu Q’ The artifact spirit, Little Fairy, knelt on the back of the fist and saluted.

Song Shuhang pressed his finger against the malevolent beings body.

He activated the secret appraisal technique.

“I need information about the origin of this malevolent being. Was it placed here by someone or did it occur naturally?” Song Shuhang mused.

As his proficiency in the Secret Appraisal Technique increased, Song Shuhangs mastery of the technique grew deeper. It was no longer as uncontrollable as before, allowing him to execute minor operations.

After paying the price for the appraisal, a deep cut appeared on Song Shuhangs fingertip, and a droplet of blood emerged.

However, before the droplet could descend, the artifact spirit fairy had already rolled to Song Shuhangs fingertip and bitten it. Her body hung from Song Shuhangs finger as she consumed the droplet of blood.

Self-sufficiency.

He couldn’t afford to waste a single drop of blood.

Concurrently, information about the secret appraisal technique materialized in Song Shuhangs mind.

[Unknown Mutated Xie w.a.n.g: A deformed Xie w.a.n.g with nine lives. Its remaining eight lives are dispersed throughout the world and have been extinguished. This ordinary Xie w.a.n.g underwent a natural mutation after accidentally devouring a disciple from the Demon Sect who came to exterminate it.]

“Eh?” It mutated after consuming a Demon Sect disciple sent to eliminate it?”

Based on the available information, it seemed like an accident.

Song Shuhang relayed this information to everyone.

Then, he turned to Eon Sea Scholar. “Prior to our discovery of Xie w.a.n.g here, were there any records of Devil Sect disciples coming to eradicate Xie w.a.n.g?”

“No,” Eon Sea Scholar shook his head. “Perhaps, the Devil’s Doctrine disciple had already perished before we discovered Xie w.a.n.g.”

Song Shuhang, do you suspect that the Devil’s Doctrine is behind this?” Su Clan’s Sixteen inquired.

“It’s just a tentative theory,” Song Shuhang responded.

He bore grudges against the Devil’s Doctrine, so it was only natural that he would cast suspicion in their direction, regardless of the situation.

Currently, they should proceed cautiously..
