Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 965 - 833: One of Us?

"Innocent, innocent! I know nothing!" Gu Yi was so terrified that his soul nearly scattered, babbling as he tried to declare his ignorance of the earth-shattering secret, but the more he tried to explain, the darker it became, leaving him trembling all over and repeatedly pleading for mercy.

He had never been a formidable figure to begin with; years ago, he had helfen Luo Nanjia, who had failed in his reincarnation, in a minor way.

Coincidentally, Luo Nanjia couldn't reach his previous peak of power, leading his former followers and subordinates to seek new paths. With no one left to use, Luo Nanjia thought Gu Yi was easy to control due to his cowardly character and lack of ambition, so he took him under his wing.

This time, Luo Nanjia used some methods to gain the Demon King's trust and took the opportunity to eliminate adversaries, placing Gu Yi inside.

From a minor underling, he leaped to management, feeling somewhat smug with success. He had been coiled up in a small, independent space, obediently following Luo Nanjia's instructions. Today was his first time seeing a grand scene, only to find himself on the losing side. As he thought about it more, he became increasingly pained and began to wail.

"Noisy." Yan Xuan rolled his eyes and knocked him out with a flip of his tail.

He Miancun was well aware that the old masters openly spoke of demon cultivators, but in reality, they were subtly pointing at him.

After all, listening to the whispered secrets now were: Bai Yunqi, the direct participant who knew the most; Yan the elder, Lord Yuan, and Ling Di, all in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, highly ranked and closely connected to Mr. Jiang;

The Celestial Ghost General left the Demon Nether Chief Envoy Jian Shichu behind, ostensibly to assist but actually to monitor how these demon cultivators would handle things. Presumably, he knew his position was awkward and slipped upstairs in the name of vigilance.

Only he was new here, merely a guest and a ghost cultivator; it was normal to be cautious with several buffs stacked up.

However, as he thought about it, having sworn under Mr. Jiang to become a guest, he would surely strive to maintain a strong connection. Who would be so foolish as to betray Mr. Jiang, causing harm without benefit?

Not to mention, with his connections and power, even if the Demon King himself came, he would be forced to flee in chaos. What gain would there be in leaking such secrets? And even then, to whom would it be leaked? For years, he kept to himself, and the few ghosts he knew were healing at Mr. Jiang's Lotus Peak!

She immediately declared, "This matter is top-secret. Fortunately, those present are all insiders and know to differentiate good from evil. To ensure safety, it seems best to eliminate all these demon cultivators."

"What if they have undisclosed intelligence? Killing them would be a waste." Yan Xuan turned to her head.

He Miancun smiled gracefully, "Senior has thought things through thoroughly. In that case, why not leave it to me to handle? Though I don't know soul-searching techniques, my soul-capturing and spirit-seizing practices are quite effective; under soul torture, they likely won't dare to hide anything."

He casually responded, letting the new female ghost take creative direction.

Then looking at the carefree master, he discreetly sighed: This household cannot manage without me. See how the master trusting everyone so carelessly, that cannot do. There must be deterrence!

Jiang Yuan trusted the system implicitly; as long as he maintained guest relations, He Miancun would never betray him. As for how long this relationship would last, heh, just look at her eyes when she consumes ghostly food to guess the outcome.

He is now absorbed in joyful collection.

The dilapidated Divine Artifact, Eternal Mirror, is mine!

Including the two storage bags he pulled from Luo Nanjia's body, fifteen advanced storage bags in total, are mine!

Uncertain how Yuan Man commanded those vines to scour various magical treasures and weapons from the corners, all mine!

If not for not yet mastering the full version of the Space Technique, unable to move this small space, Jiang Yuan would have taken even the land.

"Mr. Jiang!" Yuan Man, stunned for quite a while, finally reacted and came forward urgently, respectfully performing a salute, "Please assist me."

Earlier, he hinted that the time was not ripe, indicating there was indeed a way to bestow Life Origin. Once the time matured, he could replenish and attempt to reach the summit again!

For a moment, Yuan Man felt that meeting Mr. Jiang during this awakening marked the end of his unlucky years and the start of a turnaround! This was a true benefactor!

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment. Considering the system's nature, even issuing a mission for Life Origin implies she would have to pay a price, much like Yan Xuan. He whispered softly, "City Lord Yuan must prepare mentally; surely, there will be costs involved."

She was, of course, aware that there's no such thing as a free lunch; given how precious the prize is, a price must be paid!

After discussing Life Origin, Yuan Man felt assured with the promise and asked, "Are you studying the arrays set by the demon cultivators, sir?"

"This is a teleportation array, allowing demon cultivators stationed here to reach the Demon Realm directly." Jiang Yuan pointed to the system-displayed details of the two teleportation arrays, looking increasingly peculiar, "The other array is also for teleportation, but it's only used to transmit demonic energy, ensuring the demon cultivators have a more comfortable environment.

However, setting up such arrays is very troublesome, especially since the Lords of Wilderness World and the Demon Realm Alliance aren't easily fooled; they would easily spot it. Hence, Action Station 7 was established under ancient ruins, relying on this array to conceal aura and remain hidden for so long."

Yuan Man was slightly startled, furrowing her brows, "It seems the people of the Demon Realm are very familiar with Wilderness World, even finding such hidden places. Or perhaps moles on this side provided information, if that's the case, it must be a powerful Great Demon Cultivator or someone influential in the Demon Realm Alliance..."
