Liu Shuying seed to have carefully sensed my mana fluctuations, and a few seconds later, his expression beca very surprised.
"Even I couldn’t detect any flaws at all... It’s like soone else’s mana fluctuations," he said. "In that case, as long as no other Void Envoys co out to expose you, your fake identity as a Void Envoy won’t be discovered.
"Not only that, unless it’s Xuanming and Xu Gou who expose you, you might even be able to reverse accuse them of being the fake Void Envoy and muddy the waters for a while.
"However... it seems you’ve used the Power of Divine Seal Fragnts?"
He could actually see this point, and I didn’t make any attempt to cover it up, calmly admitting, "That’s right."
Neither possessing nor using the power of the Divine Seal Fragnts is exclusive to Void Envoys. Ying Lingyun before , and later Divine Light and Fa Zheng, all researched how to apply the Power of Divine Seal Fragnts and demonstrated it in front of .
Besides, although being exposed as a true Void Envoy might cause so trouble, I don’t particularly mind. If I were a weaker character, I might worry about being accused of being an enemy of Luo Mountain and facing an unjust trial after my identity is exposed, but my position has more room for maneuver. Even if I were to reveal the existence of both the Void Realm and the Master of Divine Seal, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Despite Xuanming discrediting the Master of Divine Seal through deceit, which triggered hostility from the Lushan Great Impermanences, his position made such moves effective. For , things are much more convenient. In fact, the re existence of the Master of Divine Seal is suspicious enough to draw significant attention from the Lushan Great Impermanences.
To be safe, I also altered my appearance, body size, and clothing a bit to look more like soone else.
Even though I knew there were no Divine Seal Fragnts at the target location, I still said, "The work of raiding the branch base can only be handled by alone, so you stay outside for now; on the other hand, if Divine Seal Fragnts are found inside, they are mine."
"Alright, then I’ll standby outside," Liu Shuying nodded, "but since it involves Divine Seal Fragnts, one can’t predict what might happen afterward. If anything unexpected occurs, I’ll intervene based on the situation."
"Fine."
Having said that, I turned and walked toward the direction of the branch base.
After about three or four hundred ters, I arrived at the building complex that looked like a prison. A massive, dark iron gate blocked the front, with two demon hunters dressed as guards stationed at the main entrance. They noticed my approach through the night and quickly hoisted their cold firearms, fixed with shoulder straps, issuing a stern warning: "Who goes there? This is a prison, no unauthorized people allowed near!"
It seems this branch base is indeed disguised as a prison facility. As for the firearms on these two demon hunters, they’re probably just for show. Not that they’re fake guns, or empty of bullets, but they likely don’t need such "mortal weapons." However, for any unauthorized people who might approach, the deterrence provided by firearms is far greater than that of the Evil Sword and its ilk.
I thought about killing these two guards first. I was about to raise my hand when I hesitated.
Because I suddenly rembered, though my appearance had been changed to look like soone else, using flas to destroy this branch base would inevitably arouse suspicion. Among those reaching the Great Impermanence Domain with Fla Ability, there are only Xuanming and myself. Even if the Taoyuan Village Master couldn’t imagine the enemy fully disguising their mana fluctuations, the fla would be an imdiate clue to suspect . This would render much of the disguise aningless.
I need to think of another thod...
"Can’t you understand human speech!" One of the guards’ voices now carried a murderous intent.
The other guard opened his gun’s safety, seemingly having lost all patience to shoot this "foolish mortal" right here.
As it turns out, this level of demon hunters apparently cannot sense my mana fluctuations.
Facing these two, I uttered just one word.
"Die."
As soon as the word fell, the two collapsed to the ground as if their bones had been extracted, eternally losing their breath and heartbeat. This was the Power of Word Spirit from the Great Impermanence, a decree of death. Unless one crossed the first threshold to beco a Half-god and Half-human of Great Success Rank, anyone, be it mortal or demon hunter, whether one or thousands, could be indiscriminately given a death sentence in an instant.
Unfortunately, the branch base’s depths harbored one of Great Success Rank. In my perception, seemingly upon noticing the simultaneous disappearance of two demon hunters’ presence at the main gate, the one sitting in the director’s office sprang up like startled and pressed a button on the desk.
What decisiveness, had he sensed an extraordinary threat? Indeed, freaks are quite adept at sensing danger.
The entire branch base was blaring with piercing air raid sirens. All the demon hunters within the base ceased their activities in unison, picked up their weapons, and began moving.
I ought to find an attack thod other than using the Power of Word Spirit and also figure out which individuals to keep alive for questioning. Certainly, the entire branch base leaking information to Taoyuan Village is unlikely, possibly only a few traitors are secretly active, or even just one person. Although I told Liu Shuying earlier that a few should be left alive, I hadn’t really decided on who to keep yet.
To start, I’ll leave that Great Success Rank alive since he harbors the seed of the heart from the Taoyuan Village Master, undoubtedly making him one of the traitors, possibly even the sole traitor. With soone at such a high status, the powers in Taoyuan Village likely wouldn’t need to develop other traitors here.
Better safe than sorry, I’ll retain a few more lives based on instinct. Despite relying on observation and intellect, I trusted my intuition as a Great Impermanence and Mazao’s bestowed "luck" more.
As for the attack thod, while fists and feet could work if critical, the opportunity is rare, so I want to try other ans too.
As I thought, orange-red light began to gather in my hand. Just like when I demonstrated it to Xiaoqiao, now I could not only control flas but light itself with ease. This ability isn’t limited to simple optical invisibility; it can be weaponized too.
The light converged into a point at my fingertip, I aid my finger ahead, and a thin, orange-red beam shot out.
So demon hunters were now in front of , and several were pierced by this thin beam. The beam continued extending forward, traversing hundreds to thousands of kiloters. Because it didn’t align with the Earth’s curvature and my launch angle had a slight upward tilt, the beam quickly exited the atmosphere and entered outer space.
These people might most notice that my attack has a long range but likely fail to grasp just how extensive it truly is. With the twitch of my finger, the beam was like an endless sharp sword cutting through scores of hunters and neatly slicing the building complex behind them.
The lower-level managers and victims hidden within the complex were also exposed. I hadn’t planned to avoid collateral damage during the battle since I could sense those victims deeply desiring death, both physically battered and spiritually shattered with broken personalities beyond repair, they’ve lost all will to live.
But for those lower-level managers turned perpetrators, I didn’t an to bla them either. It’s not that I have the moral standing to condemn others for wrongdoing; they didn’t choose this lifestyle but were swept into the tide, becoming such people to survive, rendering their personalities evil and depraved, with those uncorrupted likely executed by the Extraordinary Fanatics.
However, neither do I intend to specifically pick them out. I’ll just kill them all, as ticulously distinguishing between good and bad is too troubleso. I know there’s sothing wrong with this approach; Zhu Shi, if he were here, would probably agonize for half the day, but I’m simply not one to overthink these matters.
The sa goes for those extre Extraordinary Fanatic demon hunters. Directly killing them might suggest "punishing without teaching," but that’s for criticizing superiors who punish subordinates without first educating them. I have no interest in posturing as superior, nor the drive to preach. After all, I’m no saint, at most finding their actions distasteful and unworthy.
As for those victims, after thinking it over, I’ll spare them a bit longer to witness destroy this place before collecting them all to burn afterward. If anyone claims not to want to die when the ti cos, I’ll decide then. This approach should leave Zhu Shi and others with fewer objections if they see it.
Suddenly, a black figure blasted out from the shattered building complex at several tis the speed of sound, a blue light condensed into a giant hamr in his hands, smashing toward my face.
The orange-red light ford a wall akin to a Force Field Shield in front of , intercepting the attack.
My attacker was none other than that Great Success Rank.
He seems unaware of the gap in strength. If it were a legitimate Great Success Rank, they would likely gauge my power, then flee as far as possible. Perhaps he presud he had a chance against after judging I wasn’t any existing Great Impermanence based on my attack style.
"Who are you!" he bellowed.
"The third envoy of Void Realm, by the order of the Master of Divine Seal, seizing the Divine Seal Fragnts here," I said.
