Chapter 224: Eradicating the Heretical Sect Base_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Little devil, sever your spirit contract with this Shikigami yourself, or I won’t mind giving you a taste of what it feels like to have your heart gnawed on by a million ants.”
Watching the human-faced Demon Spider dice the Shikigami into pieces, and then a huge mass of Yin energy turned into a stream of formless power that swiftly burrowed into Kameda’s body. This guy really wanted to capture this Shikigami and study it thoroughly.
Like Necromancers, Dead Spirit Mages also have a great interest in special souls.
“This, once the contract is severed, as the serving party, I must endure the backlash of the contract. In my current state, I simply cannot withstand it; my spirit will shatter instantly, and I’ll explode and die.”
Kameda said with a deathly pale face, especially after the Shikigami returned, he felt even more that the power of his bloodline had been completely sucked away by the Shikigami.
“That’s also true. It’s a pity to die without having been properly interrogated for more information. In that case, it’s better to let the Wraith Mage directly extract the spirit and create a memory crystal.”
After kicking Kameda, now reduced to a human stick, Zi Liyuan stroked his chin, then pulled out a jar of honey from his Spatial Backpack and poured it directly over Kameda’s injured limbs and neck.
“Stop, no! Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know, I beg you, don’t do this!”
Out here in the wilds, there’s no shortage of snakes, bugs, rodents, and ants. With his limbs chopped off, if his body got smeared with honey, it wouldn’t be long before all sorts of insects would come calling and he’d be bitten to death by countless bugs.
Too cruel, way too cruel!
“Since you’re begging me so earnestly, I guess I’ll make an effort to listen to the information you have to share.”
Faced with the threat of death, perhaps Kameda had mentally prepared himself, but faced with an existence worse than death, he caved instantly.
The information on the Yin-Yang Sacred Palace was very detailed. However, upon hearing it, Zi Liyuan felt that it only involved the middle and upper echelons of their opponents, with not even a hint about the top brass.
In summary, to earn the title of Onmyoji, one must contract a Shikigami from a young age, nurture it, and with its power, use the Grand Yin-Yang Technique.
Indeed, the Yin-Yang techniques controlled by the Yin-Yang Sacred Palace were divided into the Lesser Yin-Yang Technique and the Grand Yin-Yang Technique.
Kameda Youichi, due to his unique constitution, was taken into the Yin-Yang Sacred Palace from a young age for training and contracted a Shikigami early on.
Otherwise, with his current strength, the Shikigami would definitely not have reached the level of Fourth Order Level 100.
At the same time, he also obtained a Shikigami ring from Kameda Youichi, which is a sealing artifact capable of imprisoning a Shikigami within.
Retreating to a safe distance, Zi Liyuan controlled Lao Tie, and with a fist spike, he made a one-inch long incision in Kameda’s chest.
Watching the blood flow out, only to be absorbed by some creature as soon as it touched the outer skin, Zi Liyuan also felt a chill run down his spine.
Using one’s own flesh to feed a ghost, this Wokou nation is indeed bizarre, to forsake even life for the sake of power.
As the three-eyed dog-headed Shikigami once again filled with Bloodline Power, a mass of Yin energy spread out from Kameda’s body again.
But this time, the Shikigami was smarter and didn’t rush out to fight; instead, it formed a huge claw and grabbed Kameda Youichi, attempting to ascend into the sky and flee.
Unfortunately, the dream was rich, but reality was skeletal.
Before the Shikigami could take flight, the Spider Queen’s blade came slashing over, trying her hand at slicing, reducing the lower half of the creature into pieces.
“Luckily the sealing scroll had already been transferred to the Spatial Backpack, otherwise it would not have been easy to take my catch out the door.”
Pulling a sealing bottle out of his Spatial Backpack, Zi Liyuan released his spirit towards the Shikigami that had just emerged.
Using the spirit as a guide and the power of the Bloodline to suppress, he easily sealed the Shikigami inside the bottle.
“Kameda-kun, tell me, who brought you close to the Imperial Capital of the Great Xia Empire?”
Having secured the sealed ghost bottle, Zi Liyuan asked once more.
“The Wang Clan to the south of the city, the Xie Family to the north, and the Zhao Family to the west.”
Since he had already confessed, there was nothing he wouldn’t say.
However, Kameda still kept one thing to himself, and that was the specific method of contracting with the Shikigami.
Nodding, whether what this guy said was true or not, Zi Liyuan was prepared to check out these three clans.
If it wasn’t true, all the better, but if it was, then he could consider striking first, taking out the three families in advance.
Meanwhile, as Zi Liyuan interrogated Kameda, the Wraith Mage on the other side also had his harvest.
Compared to Kameda who knew some internal intelligence of the Yin-Yang Holy Palace, the members of the Heretical Sect had much less knowledge due to their lower strength.
Still, from the mouths of the Heretical Sect members, Zi Liyuan managed to obtain quite a bit of useful information.
For example, in the nearest city to the Imperial Capital, there was a stronghold of their Heretical Sect.
They even pulled off a trick called “hidden in plain sight” by setting up the stronghold as a fighting arena!
On the surface, they attracted professionals by selling tickets to fighting battles, but in the shadows, they were involved in various illegal activities.
Such as charging high-interest loans and so on.
Moreover, this stronghold was immense, housing two Fourth Order Level 100 powerhouses, so anyone who tried to cause trouble there wouldn’t end up well.
However, based on the information gathered from these Heretical Sect members, the stronghold had just over three hundred members, and a hundred of them had already been taken out by him.
Which is to say, their strength had been reduced by a third.
“The cities near the Imperial Capital all have military garrisons. Wouldn’t it be perfect to bring these charlatans there and then catch them all in one fell swoop?”
After stroking his chin, Zi Liyuan mounted the old turtle’s neck and led his Undead army toward the direction of Boundary Mist City.
Along the way, Zi Liyuan continuously compiled information from various Wraith Mages, obtaining a clear picture of the Heretical Sect’s stronghold’s strength.
There were still more than two hundred Heretical Sect members remaining, but only two Fourth Order Level 100 powerhouses in command, and these two had only completed the elite-level Fourth Order job transition tasks.
Which meant that, in front of those geniuses, these two were not enough.
Also, Zi Liyuan had acquired an extremely important item from a captured Heretical Sect member—a Formation Suppressor.
Inside the fighting arena, as long as this device was placed in the belt space, he wouldn’t be suppressed by the city’s rules and could use his skills normally!
With that in mind, Zi Liyuan’s initial plan to collaborate with the military to take down the Heretical Sect’s stronghold vanished in an instant.
Why should he share the spoils with the military if he could take down the enemy’s lair and loot various resources all by himself?
Moreover, from the military’s one-on-one assignment of this mission, he also sensed something.
His name must be on the military’s list, and they regarded him with great importance.
So what if he ate alone?
With that thought, the Undead army dispersed, and he began his mad rush on the back of the old turtle.
Crashing through anything in their path, coupled with the old turtle exuding the unique aura of an Epic Boss, there was not a single fool who dared to stand in their way.
In just half a day’s time, Zi Liyuan arrived outside Boundary Mist City.
Upon entering the city, with the guidance jade card from Dragon Academy, he smoothly passed the security check and headed straight for the Iron Fist Fighting Arena.
The moment he entered the venue, he felt the suppression of Boundary Mist City’s formation vanish.
What was there to hesitate about?
With a wave of his hand, Lao Tie, the old turtle, the queen, and the Demon Spider—the four great guardians—made their entrance together.
But that wasn’t all; following them were 20 Dread Knights.
These knights, clad in pitch-black ghostly armor and riding on skeleton steeds, charged into the arena as soon as they emerged.
Then, various high-level monsters took the stage.
Wraith Mages, Blood Race Ghost Kings, Phantom Kings, Zombie Kings…
A large group of BOSS-level Undead creatures were summoned by Zi Liyuan, and then he spoke a cold word, “Kill!”
The host of BOSSes charged into the venue.
“Dragon Academy student, cleaning up the Heretic Sect, those who resist, kill without mercy; those who are innocent, put your hands on your head and squat against the wall!”
