Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010
Yu Ziqing watched from afar, stomped his foot, and Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai appeared behind him.
Once the two appeared, they still looked listless, having lost a significant amount of power.
Ever since they were struck by lightning last time and nearly died, they recovered slowly without external aid, turning misfortune into a blessing.
Though their power had diminished considerably, their true forms became more condensed, spreading more demonic intent, somewhat resembling orthodox Devil Dao cultivators of the human race, using demons for power without being controlled by them.
"Do you know how Yin Devils reproduce?"
Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai looked at each other, puzzled; how would they know this, who would care about such things?
"When this guy leaves, I'll follow him. Will I reach the Yin Devil's lair?"
"The item in the lord's hand holds great authority, just traveling through Yin Devil Domain shouldn't be a problem. However, from what I know, the lord traveling in flesh might be a bit dangerous and easily discovered."
"Big brother, just wait for good news; I'll make the trip for you." Lou Huai volunteered.
Freedom Heaven gave Lou Huai a sidelong glance, thinking, damn, being Human Devil-born really makes him shameless!
"Lord, I gained a lot from my injuries this time; just infiltrating to scout isn't an issue."
"These Yin Devils are already closely linked to Human Devils. It's only natural for me to go; it doesn't matter if I'm discovered."
It's rare to have something to do, a chance to make meritorious deeds, the two of them, already not agreeable with each other, immediately started arguing.
"Alright, you both go together. Having followed me for so long, you must have at least some ability to act as the opportunity arises. Don't mess it up."
Yu Ziqing took out two protective talismans, gave one to each, Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai, they refined the talismans, incorporating them into their bodies, turning into a wisp of black gas, and sneaking behind that Yin Devil along the wall edges.
As dawn broke, the Yin Devil carrying a small cart finished spreading seeds and swayed out of the city.
Ahead seemed to have virtual illusions materializing, the Yin Devil's figure gradually turning from real to illusory, disappearing into them.
Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai silently followed behind, being formless themselves, and already demons, with talismans, they easily merged into the illusion and vanished without a trace.
Out of the city, crossing through the virtual Illusion Realm, feeling the whole world twisting, everything being formless.
Without the Yin Devil to guide them, even Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai might get lost here, caught between real and unreal, unable to live or die.
Soon, within the ever-changing illusion ahead, a stable Illusion Realm appeared.
Upon entering, it seemed like the Illusion Realm stood in the sky, hexagonal hives standing in clusters, layer upon layer, filled with a bewildering sense of strangeness, no division of heaven and earth, no direction, the overlapping illusions causing confusion if stared at for too long.
At this point, the power of the talismans emerged, aiding Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai in stabilizing their minds.
The two of them stuck close to the edge of the hives, moving along the shifting shadows.
Soon, passing through these bizarre and twisted hives, they finally saw a Great Devil deep inside.
The Great Devil, with only a stature of about a zhang tall at its upper body, with what seemed like an endless Abyss of countless overlapping illusions before it, continually extending its arms in, fishing out and devouring bits of light.
Its lower body was a massive bubble, inside which countless Yin Devil Seeds were being nurtured.
Each Yin Devil carried small carts full of seeds and swayed as they left.
Besides these common Yin Devils, there were many more, with completely different forms, roaming the hives.
Some misshapen or broken-shelled Yin Devils were picked directly and tossed into that chaotic illusion, disappearing without a trace.
Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai were terrified, this eerie place indeed was somewhat dangerous, not due to the Yin Devils but the perilous environment.
As they completed their initial investigation and prepared to leave, they saw within a hive a Yin Devil similar to the Great Devil breaking out of its shell.
In the next moment, a group of Yin Devils swarmed over, tearing this small Yin Devil apart on the spot, feeding it to the Great Devil.
These creatures would never allow a second Yin Devil capable of producing seeds to exist.
Days later, having learned the simple social structure of this place, Freedom Heaven and Lou Huai followed the Yin Devil from before out of the chaotic illusion back to the small city.
Yu Ziqing was somewhat surprised after hearing what they had seen and heard.
"There are so many kinds of Yin Devils?"
The Yin Devils that come out to work are purely consumables, never meant for reproduction, naturally sterile.
No wonder Wen Lingyou hasn't made much progress after studying for so long.
Upon hearing one of the forms resembling the Seven Yin King, and that it never leaves the hive, doesn't work, only takes benefits, doesn't procreate, and is extremely rare.
It seems not only the Seven Yin King hides deeply; it's that Yin Devils are naturally .
They never allow themselves to be seen, so there would never be any danger.
No matter how many consumables die, it's not a big issue, and the Seven Yin King simply ignores it; it's rather normal.
Through this, Yu Ziqing realized the target suitable for the Evil Lord's infiltration.
Yu Ziqing took out a gemstone to take a look.
"Do you have confidence? If you fail or are discovered, in your current state, it might be dangerous, and that Great Devil might really devour you."
"What I have to do, when is it not dangerous?"
"It's better to be cautious. I'll talk to Wen Lingyou about the intelligence, let them study it and see if they can create some commotion to facilitate your infiltration.
After all, you're not like my two subordinates, born as demons. The Yin Devils most likely haven't set any dedicated defenses against demon infiltration.
Even if you have only consciousness, you are still human.
Lihuo Institute took my benefits; they can't just do nothing. "
The Evil Lord had nothing to say, feeling Yu Ziqing seemed to think he was at a loss and wanted to reclaim, but he couldn't refute it; being cautious is never wrong.
Yu Ziqing, with great fanfare, went to find Wen Lingyou, relayed the intelligence discovered by the Two Devils, especially mentioning that eerie place, indicating that anyone with a physical form certainly wouldn't be able to enter.
Next, it's time to see Lihuo Institute's performance; the intelligence has been given, and the sponsorship has been provided. If they can't produce results, let's see who gets embarrassed.
