The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

"Didn't they tell you?"

Qin Yangjun took the bead back and held it in his hand.

Cheng Lieqing shook his head. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he had already made up his mind.

If the person in front of him explains anything even slightly unreasonable, he will run away immediately.

Seeing Cheng Lieqing's wary expression, Qin Yangjun smiled indifferently; he had been prepared for this.

He infused his spiritual energy into the bead in his hand.

The next second, a surge of overwhelming demonic energy erupted, only to be immediately suppressed by Qin Yangjun.

Although it only lasted for a moment, it was enough to shock Cheng Lieqing.

"Such a strong affinity for demonic energy! You...you actually have the Myriad Magic Body? But aren't you supposed to be the Thunderous Dao Body?"

The Myriad Magic Body is also a type of Dao Body, a natural demonic cultivation physique. It allows one to cultivate extremely Yin demonic arts, and its cultivation speed can be dozens of times faster than that of ordinary demonic cultivators.

However, if one cultivates righteous techniques, the speed will be greatly reduced.

The previous generation of the Myriad Magic Body became the Demon Lord, unleashing a bloodbath in the Great Universe.

Now it seems so ironic. Mu Xianxian once swore to be irreconcilable with the demonic path, but her closest younger brother actually has a demonic constitution.

"The Thunderous Dao Body is just a rumor. When I killed the Mountain Eagle, I used a lightning-based sword technique. Those people didn't have any sense of it, so it got spread like that. You saw my Heavenly Gang Sword Technique in yesterday's battle with Yueyao."

"I see..."

Cheng Lieqing suddenly realized that Qin Yangjun's Heavenly Gang Sword Technique was a level-one sword technique, so it was normal that it caused strange phenomena in the heavens and earth and was mistaken for the Mad Thunder Dao Body.

"So now you should understand why I made a deal with you. It's because the cultivation speed of the righteous path is too slow. My current level of cultivation is entirely due to my sister's full support."

“But now even with resources, it’s difficult to cultivate, so I need demonic techniques to increase my strength. I don’t care for ordinary techniques. I want your sect leader’s Devouring Spirit Demon Technique, which is something my sister couldn’t give me.”

Chapter Twenty-Two: Ancient Spirit Ruins

Do you want the sect leader's cultivation techniques?

This reason is reasonable.

Because he wanted all that demonic power.

Their leader's Soul Devouring Demon Art is a legendary technique for half-immortals.

In just a hundred years, this technique has elevated a sect leader with inferior aptitude to the first level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, which is enough to prove its power.

He possesses the Body of Ten Thousand Magic, and if he could obtain the Devouring Spirit Demon Art, becoming the second Demon Lord in the future wouldn't be impossible. But he is, after all, Mu Xianxian's younger brother. Has the higher-ups really agreed to the deal with him? The sect leader couldn't possibly be that generous...

Seeing the person in front of him still pondering, Qin Yangjun was actually feeling uneasy inside.

He wasn't sure if the person in front of him believed him, but he was following his own train of thought. Since they had been drawn into his logic, the initiative was in his hands.

And he wasn't lying about everything.

He was indeed not a Thunderous Dao Body, nor was he a Myriad Magical Body. He was a person from the Upper Realm, and his physique was not recorded in the Lower Realm.

His affinity for demonic energy is not an illusion, but his constitution is compatible with all kinds of magic, which is the main reason why he will be chosen by the Nine Nether Sword in the future.

On the other side, Cheng Lieqing, after thinking it over, was already 70% convinced that Qin Yangjun was an inside agent.

Because his reasoning was indeed sound.

But he suspected that the person in front of him was being used.

The cult leader could not possibly give him the Soul Devouring Demon Technique, regardless of his status or the factor of jealousy.

The demonic path is inherently rife with internal competition. If this Myriad Magical Bodi were to grow into a Demon Lord in the future, he might turn against their leader. A leader would never create an enemy for himself.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lieqing couldn't help but steal a glance at Qin Yangjun.

Everyone says Qin Yangjun is a man of deep thoughts, but now it seems that was just boasting. He was so naive to believe in such a deal...

However, the people in front of them are only on their side because of their own interests.

If he doesn't get what he wants, he will definitely become an enemy in the future.

So, could I take this opportunity to throw mud at him...?

He would be more than happy to see such a prodigy fall into an abyss.

He quickly came up with a plan.

"I have now confirmed your identity. In that case, let's get down to business. I presume you already know about the mission?"

"Yeah... sure."

Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't know, but unfortunately, he is a "cheater" who knows the future, so Qin Yangjun naturally knows their purpose.

“A year ago, my Yuqian Sect discovered an ancient spiritual ruin. You need something from inside.”

The Ancient Ruins involve a mythical beast from ancient times.

赤饕

Of course, Yu Qianzong was unaware of this situation, because with the wear and tear of time, the outer seal had long since disappeared, and the ferocious aura of the inner Crimson Glutton had also been completely worn away.

After a preliminary investigation using his divine sense, the Second Elder concluded that it was a low-level secret realm and decided to use it as a trial for new students.

Moreover, when it was discovered, there was a special energy surrounding the ruins. If it were forcibly broken open, it might cause the entire ruins to collapse. Therefore, the only option was to slowly wear down that energy and open the ruins once the energy was depleted.

And if you calculate the time, the event of the ruins opening will happen in a month.

The reason why the Myriad Laws Heavenly Cult knew about Chi Tao was because they accidentally obtained an ancient book that recorded Chi Tao's deeds and the location of the sealed corpse.

Before its death, this red gluttonous beast was in the realm of immortals.

The Myriad Laws Cult desires the remains of the Crimson Glutton and its true essence.

Remains can be used to refine magical artifacts and even puppets, but true essence is even more important. The leader of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect regarded it as a magical artifact to avoid heavenly tribulations.

In the book, the Myriad Laws Sect successfully obtained the remains and condensed a puppet at the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, which directly transformed the Myriad Laws Sect from a medium-sized demonic sect into a high-level force.

This also disrupted the balance between the righteous path and the demonic path.

In the future, a massive battle between good and evil will ensue.

As for the most important true essence, they searched the entire ruins but couldn't find it.

Therefore, Qin Yangjun did not know where that thing was. He guessed that it might have long since disappeared in the wear and tear of time.

“That’s right, our destination is the Ancient Spirit Ruins. If nothing unexpected happens, you should lead the team with the new students of your Yuqian Sect to explore it.”

This exploration was not a secret. The new students were told when they entered the sect that a month later, the chief would lead them on their first mission, which was to explore the ruins.

Originally, it should have been Yueyao, who was in charge, who led the team, but now that he has kept his position as chief, he has become the chief himself.

"so what?"

Qin Yangjun looked at the person in front of him with a meaningful expression.

This kid, talking so much nonsense, is something about to happen in the plot again...?

Cheng Lieqing's gaze deepened.

"Our original mission was to find the remains and true essence of the Ancient Spirit and secretly smuggle it out. However, an unexpected situation arose this time. Your Yuqian Sect recruited a genius this time, and we have been given a new order: while you are leading the team, find an opportunity to obtain the Jade Feather Key..."

As he spoke, Cheng Lieqing made a throat-slitting gesture.

In Cheng Lieqing's view, this was a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy, which could both drag the people in front of him into the mire and weaken the new blood of the Yuqian Sect.

He was somewhat impressed with himself for coming up with such a perfect plan.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yangjun was first stunned, then secretly overjoyed. This was exactly what he wanted to keep as the chief, and that was why he wanted to keep his position.

However, in the early part of the book, the Myriad Laws Cult did not have any plot involving Yu Lingyue.

This must be a scene that was added on the spot by the person in front of me.

But what does it matter?

"no problem!"

Seeing Qin Yangjun agree so readily, Cheng Lieqing couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. After killing Yu Lingyue, he would use a magical artifact to leave a lasting impression.

Then, the news of his collaboration with the demonic path, along with the video, will be released. At that point, Young Master Biyue will be finished, and the high and mighty Mu Xianxian might also be implicated.

The cult leader will surely reward me then; it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to become a regional deacon.

He seemed to see a bright future beckoning to him.

Qin Yangjun across from him couldn't help but twitch his eye slightly.

This kid, when he's scheming against people, doesn't he know how to control his emotions? His face is all twisted with a grin.

Cheng Lieqing realized he had lost his composure and quickly suppressed his smile.

Now that his goal had been achieved, there was no need for him to talk to Qin Yangjun anymore, so he said:

"It's getting late, and that's all I have to say. To avoid arousing suspicion, I'll head back now."

Qin Yangjun stepped aside and extended his hand.

"Please."

Cheng Lieqing left.

Qin Yangjun watched Cheng Lieqing's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

It wasn't enough to just gain Cheng Lieqing's initial trust; there was actually someone above Shan Guangyun.

He knew the identity of this undercover agent, and that guy would also be there to provide backup during this intrusion.

My identity as a fake mole will definitely be exposed at that time.

But Qin Yangjun thought that if he helped them obtain the remains of the ancient spirit, then he could make those people see his true intentions.

The members of the Demonic Cult have no bottom line. As long as it helps them achieve their goals, what does it matter whether the undercover agent is themselves or Shan Guangyun?

Anyway, all I'm doing is making a deal with that cult leader.

As for what kind of transaction to use, Qin Yangjun will offer a condition that the leader of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect cannot refuse.

For example... a way to directly ascend to immortality.
