Chapter 1167: Spies And Imposters

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Spies successfully infiltrated each camp.

Using the token Yam had earned as a reward, mercenaries were dispatched into the heart of the Asura God Clan's territory.

It was Lucas who mentioned that these two clans typically rewarded their members with items reflecting their accomplishments.

Since Yam had managed to open a point within the Evure God Clan's territory, he was granted a token allowing him to teleport freely in and out of the Asura God Clan's main stronghold.

The strange Asura lady that met Lith a while ago, through her information, Lith had information on a few Asuras and targeted them.

Lucas provided more details in this aspect along with going deeply into the Evure God Clan's dealings.

Through the Everlasting Sunset World, the Asuras infiltrated deep into the EGC's core territories.

The impact of these insidious parasites remained uncertain, but the seeds of chaos were already sown.

Just as tensions seemed at their peak, major news shook the balance—one of the central alliance's sects had been annihilated in the ongoing friction between the two powerful clans.

The Qing Mei Sect, a representative of the central alliance, demanded accountability from both clans, but neither stepped forward.

In retaliation, a devastating strike was launched overnight, resulting in the destruction of a world in each clan's territory, each containing a Legendary Rank.

The identity of the perpetrator remained a mystery, but the AGC and EGC knew one thing for sure: it was someone from the center, with the Qing Mei Sect possessing full knowledge of the act.

However, neither clan openly addressed the matter, mutually accepting the loss, as they both recognized their role in the sect's destruction.

Determined to avoid another catastrophic event, the two clans became more cautious in their approach but continued their conflict.

For the next six months, they meticulously chipped away at the outer layers of each other's territories, engaging in flashy battles that, despite their grandeur, caused minimal damage.

At this point, Lith decided it was time to introduce a new variable. He had been carefully observing every move of the two clans, only stepping in when the conflict seemed to be losing momentum. Periodically, he planned to stoke the flames, ensuring the chaos continued to burn brightly.

For this, Lith sent his Jinx disciple Zhao Shi to the Evure God Clan's territory and Hyunsuk to the mercenaries in the Asura God Clan's territory.

In six more months, strange anomalies kept happening in the two places.

The Evure God Clan incurred multiple tribulations out of the blue along with a plague outbreak that reportedly corrupted the spiritual power of cultivators, rendering them unable to cultivate and causing tremendous aging.

Vampires, barely 500 years old, now looked like elderly uncles, while their parents appeared younger, as though they were their grandchildren.

Shi was a Legendary level threat to all of mankind and a complete menace. He fell into multiple life threatening situations during his stay in the EGC territory but managed to survive somehow.

He was called back when he began crying over the phone, complaining to Lith how hard it was for him to roam alone in these strange lands with danger at every corner.

Unlike him, Hyunsuk was having a great time.

The mercenaries loved him and they slowly killed many important but low level Asuras in their own territory, sending the upper echelon in panic.

They conducted an investigation in full force but weren't able to find anything.

Lith felt it was enough damage for now and called back Hyunsuk.

When the Jinx met the Charm, their luck evened out and no trouble erupted in the place they resided.

Three months later, the EGC contained the plague and the tribulations stopped.

The Asura God Clan soon discovered that their lower echelon had been slaughtered by members of the Evure God Clan. Though it remained a mystery how they infiltrated so deeply, traces of their presence were undeniable.

The mercenaries had skillfully crafted the deception, and Lith, pleased with their work, rewarded them handsomely.

Enraged by the Evure God Clan's actions, the Asura God Clan dispatched some of their most formidable individuals through the Everlasting Sunset World's checkpoint.

These operatives assassinated two key pillars of the EGC and seamlessly took their place, their impersonation so flawless that the Evure God Clan remained completely unaware of the infiltration.

For the next three months, the impostors attended countless meetings, gathering critical intel and feeding it back to the Asura God Clan.

This insider knowledge gave the AGC a significant advantage in the battles that followed, leading to devastating blows against the Evure God Clan.

But soon, the EGC began to sense something was amiss. Suspicion crept into the minds of the Three Greats, who suspected spies within their ranks.

To root them out, they devised a cunning test: each remaining pillar was discreetly given a different version of battle plans against the AGC, plans known only to the Three Greats.

As anticipated, the leaked information revealed the culprits—the 4th and 7th Pillars. However, upon interrogation, the shocking truth emerged: these weren't traitors but Asura impostors who had infiltrated the EGC's inner circle with terrifying success.

The Three Greats went in a panic and roamed throughout the territory to personally wipe out any remaining Asuras.

Even the Everlasting Sunset World was checked. However, they couldn't find the cafe's portal because it was hidden with spells casted by the Asura Legendaries.

It took three people a total of three months to scan through the entire territory.

By now, a year had passed since the infiltration.

The momentum was slowing down, but the war wasn't over yet.

Lith did not introduce another variable for now and kept low.

In the last one year, not only was he busy with warfare, but also learning and focusing on his cultivation. It was nonstop work day in and day out.

He was so busy that he did not have a single break to even consume tea.

After so much hard work, Lith was forced to stop because news came out that there were spies in the central alliance from the Asuras and also some small forces trying to cause an internal strife.

Since it was the central alliance's domain, Lith sent two of the three Ancestors of the Qing Mei Sect and went with Qingshan and Keith to check up on the small forces.

Within the many worlds present in the central alliance, it wasn't easy to find these rats.

It took almost a year and various strategies to remove them from the roots.

During the entire year, Lith further broke the boundaries between him and Keith, instilling his place within the seductive Devil's heart.

It was by no means easy, but at least Lith knew that even Keith wasn't immune to gentleness and warmth, which he ensured to provide her in bulk until she collapsed.

And at last, his efforts bore fruit.

Currently, he was in a world which looked like mystical ancient xianxia land with a modern touch.

Him, Keith, and Qingshan were in a grand palace right in the middle of a big city with sprawling courtyards and a crystal clear river flowing on one side.

The city was bustling with activity and life. It was vibrant, vivid, and gave him and his ladies a sense of peace and calm.

Standing by a ledge on top floor, Lith was in a comfortable white daoist robes while the two ladies beside him were in red silk robes, appearing extremely alluring.

They weren't dressed conservatively, rather, their robes only covered them from their upper chests till their upper thighs.

Keith wore black stockings that reached just a bit above her knee and red heels, giving her attire a modern touch. There was a semi transparent red cloak draped on her shoulders, but it did nothing to hide any of her curves or deep cleavage from the front.

Unlike her, Qingshan did not wear any stockings. She had black heels and a similar semi transparent cloak in black color draped on her.

The two ladies were standing beside Lith, getting themselves held by him by their waists.

"The city's quite picturesque."

"Hm." Keith replied.

"It's one of the cleanest worlds out there." Qingshan said briefly. "And without any surprise, it falls under our sect."

Lith chuckled and patted Qingshan's pair of plump peaches, saying, "Look at you boasting."

Qingshan smiled and shrugged, sticking her butt out slightly in response to Lith's touch.

Keith wasn't looking, but the sound of pats made her understand everything.

She faced Lith and said with a flat expression, in a low voice, "Don't be shameless. For one minute. Please."

This was such a great atmosphere and moment. Given Lith's history, he would definitely do something blasphemous and ruin it. Keith thus tried to stop him.

Lith smirked and winked at Keith. "Okay, babe."

"Thank you." Keith said and went back to gazing at the beautiful landscape.

This relationship Lith had with this cold Devil took a lot of time to be built. It did not happen overnight and was a result of thousands of failed flirting attempts.

Lith had stopped calling her Keith altogether when it were just them, and she was thus used to endearing words.

If it was a few years back, Keith wouldn't hesitate to beat Lith up if he tried something funny like this.

Dealing with a Devil was no joke, especially one that was as broken as Keith.

Lith stopped his advances and stared at the landscape in front too.

He was being good as per Keith's instructions.

…for a whole minute.

When it passed, the corner of Lith's lips curled up.

What was going on in his head was something only he knew of.
