Zhao Hai was still moving forward in the blood sea, but his speed was not very fast. He had been observing the people from the Shadow Realm and the gray fog for the past few days. He wanted to find the core of the gray fog. He believed that there must be a core in such a gray fog. It was impossible for one person to refine all the fog. In such a large gray fog, no one’s spiritual power was so strong that they could control the entire gray fog.

However, Zhao Hai could not see the core of the gray fog from below. He did not dare to enter the gray fog, nor did he dare to use his power of the will to observe the situation inside the gray fog. This was because the gray fog was an enemy’s array. If he used his power of the will to observe the gray fog, he might be discovered. Thus, he could only use his eyes to see. Naturally, he could not find anything. The gray fog was so thick that it was impossible to see through the situation inside.

However, Zhao Hai had another method. He could observe the people from the Shadow Realm and see what kind of arrangements they had made. He could see where there were more guards. That might be the core of the gray fog. Of course, he also wanted to see how the people from the Shadow Realm entered the gray fog.

Soon, he found a few places with more guards. He had secretly hidden them, but he didn’t enter the gray fog immediately. He had to find a way to enter the gray fog without being discovered by the other party. Otherwise, he would be discovered immediately.

He had been observing the people of the Shadow Realm these days to see what kind of changes would happen to them when they were in the blood sea and when they entered the gray fog, especially the energy fluctuations. He had already discovered that the people of the Shadow Realm would enter the gray fog for a rotation after guarding the blood sea for about three days. It seemed that they could not stay in the blood sea for long. This was good news for them.

After so many days of observation, Zhao Hai also discovered that the energy fluctuations of the people from the Shadow Realm were completely different when they entered the blood sea and when they returned to the gray fog. When they entered the blood sea, there was a very special kind of energy fluctuation on their bodies. This kind of energy fluctuation was a little similar to the energy fluctuation of a protective shield. However, it was very different from the energy fluctuations of the protective shield that Zhao Hai had seen before. It was a very special way of energy circulation.

When they entered the gray fog, their bodies would emit another kind of energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was somewhat similar to the gray fog’s energy fluctuation. It seemed to be a kind of verification method of the gray fog. This immediately made Zhao Hai understand that this was the way to enter the gray fog.

Zhao Hai had fought with people from the Shadow Realm before. He knew what kind of energy fluctuations they emitted under normal circumstances. The energy fluctuations of the people who had entered the gray fog were very different from those he had met in the Shadow Realm. It could only be said that this was a necessary way to enter the gray fog. It seemed that he only needed to imitate this kind of energy fluctuation to enter the gray fog.

If it was just a simple imitation of the energy fluctuation, it wouldn’t be very troublesome. What made Zhao Hai feel a little troublesome was that the people from the Shadow Realm all acted together. They were like an Army and would rarely appear. It was very troublesome for a person to act alone. Although Zhao Hai could imitate the energy fluctuation and make himself look like a person from the Shadow Realm, if he killed everyone from the Shadow Realm, he would be killed. However, it was impossible for him to impersonate someone else. As long as someone from the Shadow Realm was killed, there would be no corpse. They would all turn into smoke and someone would find out immediately. He would have no way to impersonate someone else, which gave Zhao Hai a huge headache.

On this day, as Zhao Hai was slowly advancing through the blood sea, an image suddenly appeared in the area he was monitoring. Zhao Hai was stunned. A group of cultivators appeared on the screen. After emerging from the gray fog, they sneaked out of the fog and quickly reached the periphery of the blood slaughter sect’s line of defense. They did not come into contact with the blood slaughter sect’s line of defense. Instead, they observed the line of defense from the periphery. After a period of observation, they said, After that, he returned to the blood sea, and then to the gray fog. Everything seemed normal.

Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai immediately understood what was going on. These cultivators should be the ones who had surrendered to the Shadow Realm. They had gone to investigate the situation at the blood slaughter sect’s line of defense. Although the blood slaughter sect’s line of defense had always been on guard against people from the Shadow Realm, it was not very secretive about cultivators. Many cultivators from other forces had come to observe them these days. They could not offend everyone, so they did not pay attention to those people. As long as they didn’t get too close to the defensive line, they wouldn’t care about them. This gave those people a chance. The people from the Shadow Realm sent out some cultivators to carefully observe the bloody massacre sect’s defensive line, trying to find a weakness.

Zhao Hai’s eyes lit up when he saw the actions of those cultivators. He felt that this might be an opportunity for him. Those cultivators had surrendered to the Shadow Realm, so he couldn’t impersonate a person from the Shadow Realm. However, he could impersonate those cultivators. If he could really impersonate those cultivators, it would be a good thing.

At this thought, Zhao Hai moved and sneaked out of the gray fog. He had already realized that he had no chance under the gray fog. There were many people from the Shadow Realm under the gray fog. If he attacked those cultivators under the gray fog, they would definitely notice. Therefore, he had to wait until those cultivators left the gray fog and spread out to observe the bloody massacre sect’s line of defense. Only then would he have a chance to attack.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Hai had expected, the next day, the gray fog once again sent out cultivators. After emerging from the gray fog, the cultivators immediately flew to the periphery of the gray fog. Then, they made a circle and slowly accepted the blood slaughter sect’s line of defense. When they approached the blood slaughter sect’s line of defense, they appeared to be extremely careful. However, they all scattered, and Zhao Hai’s opportunity came.

Zhao Hai observed for a while and then chose a person. This person was not very strong and was not very old. Zhao Hai was confident that he could restrain him without hurting him or letting him send out any signals. When the time came, he could search this person’s soul. As long as he knew this person’s background, he could think of a way to enter the gray fog.

After observing the target for a while, Zhao Hai decided to take action. There were no other cultivators around the target, no matter if they were from the Shadow Realm or the blood sea realm. It was the best time to take action. Zhao Hai moved and suddenly appeared behind the cultivator. Before the cultivator could react, he took action and restrained him, then dragged him into the blood sea.

After entering the blood sea, Zhao Hai immediately searched the cultivator’s soul. He wanted to find out the cultivator’s background, how he entered the gray fog, what his mission was for the past few days, and at the same time, he wanted to know all the information about this person. Only then would he be able to perfectly impersonate this person.

Very quickly, Zhao Hai obtained all the information about this person. This person was a disciple of the illusionary demon sect. He had followed their sect master and surrendered to the Shadow Realm. After surrendering to the Shadow Realm, what they did every day was very simple. They only needed to input their dharmic powers into a talisman. All of them lived together. This person had never left the gray fog before and had been living the same life. He injected dharmic powers into the talisman and then recovered his dharmic powers. Then, they would input their magic power into the talisman. They could move around in the area where they lived, but they could not leave the area. Moreover, when the time came, they had to go back and input their magic power into the talisman. Otherwise, they would be punished. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

These few days, they had been assigned to observe the bloody massacre sect’s line of defense in batches. When they returned, MA would write down his own observations and give them to the people of the Shadow Realm. It was his turn today, but he was unlucky to have met Zhao Hai. He was taken down in one move and even had his soul searched.

After Zhao Hai looked through ye Daozhen’s memory, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He realized that the way the people from the Shadow Realm had asked them to input mana into the talismans was a little strange. Why did they do that? There must be a reason for this. Also, he saw an altar in ye Daozhen’s memory. The altar was in the gray fog, and it looked very simple. It was obviously not new. It was a little strange that such an altar was in the gray fog.

Zhao Hai’s eyes lit up. Then, he immediately made his move. He first copied a bit of ye Daozhen’s bloodline, then extracted a part of ye Daozhen’s soul and let that part of the soul possess his body. This way, he could pretend to be ye Daozhen. Even if the real ye Daozhen died, no one would find out because he also copied some of the restrictions on ye Daozhen’s body. This way, no one would be able to see through his disguise.

After Zhao Hai had completed his replication of ye Daozhen, he immediately killed ye Daozhen. In any case, he had already performed a soul search on ye Daozhen. Since ye Daozhen would not be able to survive, he might as well give him a quick explanation. Then, he changed into ye Daozhen’s appearance and pretended to observe the bloody massacre sect’s line of defense. When the time was up, he once again dove into the sea of blood and flew towards their gathering point.

When Zhao Hai arrived at their gathering point, there were already a few people there. Zhao Hai did not say anything and bowed to the people from the illusionary demon sect. He then stood quietly at the side. Fortunately, ye Daozhen was also a quiet person. He did not need to say too much to others and would not reveal any flaws. Naturally, no one noticed that ye Daozhen was actually a different person. After all, where would an ordinary disciple like ye Daozhen be placed? Not many people would notice.
