Chapter 369: Western agents are at my disposal; if you are unsure of anything, you may consult me!
Fengdu Ghost Palace.
As Yang Xuan finished speaking his last sentence, all the creatures in the Blood Sea, regardless of their cultivation level, showed expressions of astonishment.
According to their line of thinking, from the perspective of the underworld, if there were really foreign beings coming to the Blood Sea and trying to win over them, the Blood Sea beings should not have been sternly rejected, but rather driven out of the Blood Sea.
However, for the safety of these creatures from the Blood Sea, Yang Xuan allowed them more time to develop. Instead of asking them to pledge their loyalty, he instructed them to cooperate appropriately in their act and avoid any conflict.
Since their birth, the creatures of the Blood Sea have been inclined to kill and destroy. Even among creatures of the Blood Sea, they can fight to the death over trivial matters.
When have they ever experienced someone putting themselves in their shoes and considering their needs?
Now Yang Xuan is creating cultivation methods for them, pointing out the way forward, and also considering their safety.
Regardless of Yang Xuan's motives, whether it was to enhance their strength so that they could be better used by the Underworld, or whether he had some personal purpose, he was still a man of great importance.
Yang Xuan's actions deeply moved them.
After a brief silence, all the creatures in the sea of blood present became even more fanatical.
Mosquito Taoist stepped forward and bowed to Yang Xuan, saying excitedly:
"Your Majesty is merciful. We will certainly follow Your Majesty's teachings. If any foreign tribes try to win us over, we will report to Your Majesty and obey Your Majesty's arrangements!"
Upon hearing this, the other creatures of the Blood Sea followed suit, bowing to Yang Xuan and saying in unison:
"Your Majesty is merciful. We will certainly follow Your Majesty's teachings. If any foreign tribes try to win us over, we will report to Your Majesty and obey Your Majesty's arrangements!"
Even those Western religious spies are the same.
The reason they felt conflicted and guilty when they first received the cultivation technique was because Yang Xuan deduced the technique for them and pointed out the path forward.
However, because of their past deeds, they have incurred karmic debts to the West, and will be subject to the West to some extent in the future, fearing that they might do something detrimental to the Underworld or Yang Xuan.
In their minds, this is treasonous behavior, and once discovered, there's no need for questioning; they simply kill the traitor.
Since it involved life and death, even though they felt guilty, they dared not speak of it, fearing that Yang Xuan would slap them to death as soon as they uttered the words.
But after hearing Yang Xuan's words, they had a different idea.
Yang Xuan meant that, whether in the past or in the future, if anyone wanted to win over these creatures of the Blood Sea, they could agree first, and then find an opportunity to tell Yang Xuan about it and ask him for advice.
If Yang Xuan wasn't lying, then he wouldn't blame them for what they did back then; instead, he would devise a solution for them.
"No, His Majesty would never lie. Why would he need to lie to us? I deserve to die for having such a despicable thought!"
Almost all of the Western Religion's spies had this thought in their minds, their faces showing a hint of determination, and they made a decision.
And that was Yang Xuan's purpose!
These creatures from the sea of blood can become agents of the Western Sect, or they can become agents of Yang Xuan.
As long as Yang Xuan is sincere enough and offers more benefits, and as long as the Western Sect doesn't have any leverage over them, these creatures from the Blood Sea might turn against him and become Yang Xuan's spies infiltrating the Western Sect.
The derivation of the Blood Sea Technique was the bargaining chip Yang Xuan offered, while his attitude towards winning over foreign creatures demonstrated his sincerity.
According to Yang Xuan's previous observations and records, these Western religious agents simply possess a higher level of intelligence.
The cultivation method they practiced was only slightly more advanced than that of other beings in the Blood Sea, but it was not a perfect match and could not be compared with the cultivation method deduced by Yang Xuan.
Furthermore, Yang Xuan's explicit statement that he did not care about the past of the creatures in the Blood Sea gave these Western Sect agents no worries about the future.
Looking at Western religions, aside from enlightening the minds of these beings from the sea of blood, giving them some cultivation methods and making empty promises, there are no real benefits.
I offer you more benefits, more sincerity, and a brighter future. Moreover, I don't care that you were once spies of the Western Church. What are you still hesitating about?
Moreover, the Blood Sea is now part of the Netherworld. Even the Lord of the Blood Sea, Daoist Styx, has expressed his willingness to obey Yang Xuan's orders and be bound by the rules of the land.
Clearly, as long as the hidden threat of the Western Cult can be eliminated, they can follow Yang Xuan and honestly become a member of the Netherworld.
Not only is there no risk involved, but you can also gain more benefits, more opportunities, and a brighter future.
On the other hand, the identity of the Western Cult's mole means that whatever the Western Cult wants them to do will harm the interests of the Netherworld and run counter to Yang Xuan's plans.
After all, the Western Religion and the Underworld are not on equal footing, and their relationship is not good. If the Western Religion wants to plot a blood sea, wouldn't that be going against the Underworld?
Western religions are large and powerful, and have saints in charge. No matter what the final outcome is, Western religions will not be greatly affected.
But for these Western religious spies, the outcome is hard to predict.
Unless they stay hidden on Mount Sumeru, they will die at the hands of the Styx Taoist sooner or later.
Becoming a spy for the Western Religion is a matter of life and death, to say the least.
By shedding their identities as agents of the Western Cult and pledging allegiance to Yang Xuan, the risks would be much lower. Even if they angered the West, they could simply stay in the Netherworld and not go anywhere else.
The Sea of Blood has now flowed into the Netherworld. Staying in the Netherworld is the same as staying in the Sea of Blood.
The Blood Sea is not Mount Sumeru; it is simply the most suitable place for them to live and cultivate. They have always stayed in the Blood Sea, and they will not be able to leave it in the future. Therefore, there is no loss to them whatsoever.
In this situation, it goes without saying how to make a choice.
Yang Xuan observed the changes in the expressions of these Blood Sea spies and knew that things were developing in the direction he had envisioned.
Now, all we need to do is give these Western cult spies a push to make them reveal their identities, so that they can be used by Yang Xuan.
Boom boom boom!
Yang Xuan gently tapped the armrest, activating the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Array within the Fengdu Ghost Palace. Dark mist surged from the void, filling the Fengdu Ghost Palace and enveloping all the creatures of the Blood Sea.
The Nine Netherworld Immortal Locking Array is an extremely complex array. In addition to its main effect of [suppression], it also has many other functions.
For example, the Spirit Gathering Array can gather the deadly Yin energy, making the spiritual energy of the underworld more concentrated and more suitable for ghosts to cultivate and live.
For example, there are illusion arrays in many buildings in the underworld. These arrays are used independently and in combination. They can be used not only to confuse attackers, but also to judge wandering spirits and maintain order in the underworld.
The black mist that now permeates the Ghost Palace of Fengdu is an illusionary formation within the Nine Netherworld Locking Immortal Formation.
As the saying goes, you can't see into someone's heart, and Yang Xuan didn't really understand these creatures from the sea of blood.
It is unknown how the Western Church managed to get these people to voluntarily become its agents, nor is it known whether the Western Church has any leverage over these individuals.
It was also unknown whether all the Western Cult's spies had developed the idea of submitting to the Underworld. To be on the safe side, Yang Xuan did not want these Western Cult spies to know about each other's other thoughts and choices.
To avoid being tipped off by certain Western religious agents, which would allow the Western religion to discover his thoughts and potentially put him in a passive position.
Setting up an illusion array to separate all the creatures in the sea of blood can prevent this accident from happening.
Moreover, with the illusion array providing cover, a slight push would force, if not all, at least most of the Western Church's spies to make a choice.
In fact, things went even more smoothly than Yang Xuan had imagined.
As the black mist enveloped the Ghost Palace of Fengdu, all the creatures of the Blood Sea arrived at a pitch-black hall.
There were no other beings from the Blood Sea in this great hall. Apart from them, there was only Yang Xuan, who sat on the throne in front of the hall, wearing a black imperial robe.
At first, these creatures in the sea of blood all looked bewildered, not knowing what Yang Xuan was going to do.
But they quickly realized that Yang Xuan was giving some of the creatures in the Blood Sea a chance to confess their past deeds and make amends.
Within this illusion array, only Yang Xuan knew what they were saying. There was no need to worry about being known by other beings in the Blood Sea, nor about being ridiculed or even retaliated against by them.
After figuring this out, every single one of these Western Cult agents chose to confess their identities to Yang Xuan, hoping that he could tell them how to get rid of their identities as Western Cult agents in the future.
To Yang Xuan's slight surprise, these Western cult agents were unaware of each other's identities.
They merely suspected that there might be other Western cult agents hidden within this sea of blood.
There were even a small number of Western cult agents who were unaware that the people who enlightened them and gave them cultivation techniques came from the Western cult.
As for what the Western religions were planning regarding the Blood Sea, they knew absolutely nothing.
The only thing the Western Church told them was to be on standby at all times, awaiting their orders.
This demonstrates how cautious Western religions are in their actions.
If Yang Xuan didn't have memories of his past life, knew that Mosquito Taoist was an unofficial member of the Western Sect, and knew that after the appearance of Buddhism, the Asura race would become one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
This led to the deduction that there were likely Western cult agents in the Blood Sea. If the Western cult had something planned against the Blood Sea, they would have been completely unprepared, and the current situation would not have occurred.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world!
Although these creatures in the Blood Sea are not all of the Western Cult's spies, among those spies in the Blood Sea, they are definitely among the highest-ranking.
Now that they have chosen to reveal their identities and serve Yang Xuan, becoming his spies, no matter what schemes the Western Sect has against the Blood Sea, it won't be long before Yang Xuan finds out and takes countermeasures.
If used properly, these spies subdued by the Western Religion will deliver a heavy blow to them. Even though the Western Religion is a sect of saints, it will feel the pain of this heavy blow!
However, before we can ascertain the Western Religion's plans and deliver a heavy blow to them, the fact that these people have defected must not be exposed.
Yang Xuan had only one instruction for these Western Sect agents: to cooperate with the Western Sect's plans, not to act rashly, and never to expose themselves, lest they incur retaliation from the Western Sect.
Once the Western Sect disciples have left, find a suitable opportunity to tell Yang Xuan about the Western Sect's plans.
As for other matters, Yang Xuan will handle them, so they don't need to worry.
Upon hearing Yang Xuan's words, these Western cult spies...
wrong!
These creatures now living in a sea of blood should be called Yang Xuan's spies!
After hearing Yang Xuan's words, they breathed a sigh of relief.
According to Yang Xuan's plan, all they needed to do was cooperate with the Western Religion's schemes and find a way to transmit these things back.
This task was easier than they had imagined. Not only was it not difficult at all, it was something anyone could do, and there was no danger whatsoever.
As for how Yang Xuan should deal with the Western Religion's schemes, that's not something they need to think about. They just need to pass on intelligence and carry out Yang Xuan's orders.
After explaining the matter, Yang Xuan turned his gaze to Mosquito Taoist below.
The key to delivering this devastating blow lies with this Mosquito Taoist.
next moment.
Within the illusion where Mosquito Taoist resided, Yang Xuan rose from his throne, approached her, and asked with a smile:
"What do you think of the martial art I created?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this technique upon me. It is perfectly suited to my needs, as if it were tailor-made for me."
Mosquito Daoist hurriedly bowed. Although she was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Yang Xuan had not released his aura, she still felt an inexplicable pressure standing face to face with Yang Xuan, which made her somewhat at a loss.
"So it seems I was right. You are indeed quite compatible with the Great Dao of Devouring."
Yang Xuan patted Mosquito Taoist on the shoulder and smiled slightly.
"Your background is special, and you have unlimited potential in the future. If you have enough opportunities, you may be able to sever your corpse and become the second Quasi-Saint of the Blood Sea."
"If I am not mistaken, the key to becoming a Quasi-Saint lies in the Great Dao of Devouring."
"If you can further refine your cultivation technique according to your own situation, gain a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of Devouring, and make fuller use of it, you might even be able to devour innate spiritual treasures."
"Innate spiritual treasures contain the innate Great Dao and possess innate indestructible spiritual light. If you can achieve this, your gains will be substantial."
Yang Xuan paused for a moment, a meaningful look appearing on his face, and continued:
"With your background, if you continue down the path of devouring, you are destined to make enemies everywhere. I have a suggestion for you: if someone comes looking for you in the future, you might as well go with the flow and use their help to cultivate your skills and comprehend the Great Dao of Devouring."
"As long as your heart is still in the underworld, you follow the rules and laws of the underworld, and obey the orders of the underworld, then no matter where you are, you are a part of the underworld."
"If you trust me, and are ever unsure about something, you may come to me at any time, and I may be able to point you in the right direction."
As the words fell, Yang Xuan's figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the illusion, leaving only Mosquito Taoist, who looked thoughtful.
P.S.: The inflammation hasn't gone down after a week, and it hurts so much! I've been getting injections and taking medicine these past two days, it's unbearable...
