Bai Mu gazed at the magic array behind Jing Ge'er and asked, "Jing Ge'er, what is this?"
"Hmph."
Jing Ge'er snorted coldly, disdainfully replying, "Since you've already noticed, why ask further?"
"A passage... to hell."
Bai Mu shifted his gaze from the magic array to Jing Ge'er, his voice deepening as he asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"I don't know what you've been through recently, but we..." Jing Ge'er's lips curled into a cold smile. "We've accomplished quite a few major things."
"I figured as much."
Fang Heng glanced briefly at the demonic seeds operating the magic array.
There were as many as eleven of them!
Including Zhuang Yufei, the total number had reached twelve.
With so many demonic seeds gathered together, it was undoubtedly a terrifying force.
"About a month ago, we set a trap to lure the 'Jealousy' demonic seed to the outside world, and gathered a small team to head towards the Jealousy world."
Zhuang Yufei walked over to Jing Ge'er and whispered, "Taking advantage of Jealousy's absence, we released several demonic seeds that had been controlled by Jealousy, laid an ambush, and planned to eliminate the Jealousy demonic seed in one fell swoop."
Bai Mu and the others looked serious as they listened.
They hadn't expected Jing Ge'er and his group to be so reckless, going directly to confront Jealousy head-on.
"And then?"
"And then? Heh, we failed."
Jing Ge'er shrugged nonchalantly, "Just as we planned, the Jealousy demonic seed was lured away, and we successfully found several demonic seeds sealed by Jealousy. We gathered the strength of a batch of demonic seeds, but in the end, it still fell apart."
"But it wasn't all for nothing. I bring you so very bad news."
"What is it?"
"Have you heard of the Demon Core?"
Fang Heng and Bai Mu exchanged glances, then shook their heads.
"I've never heard of it."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. I only found out about this from Jealousy's mouth for the first ti. The Demon Core consists of seven pieces, corresponding to the origin powers of our seven great demonic seeds. Originally, the Demon Cores should have been inside the main bodies of the demonic seeds," Zhuang Yufei explained.
"During the process, I don't know exactly what happened. In short, all the demonic seeds, except for 'Jealousy' and 'Greed,' were divided. The Jealousy demonic seed sohow managed to control the Demon Core that originally belonged to us."
The group felt a heavy weight in their hearts after hearing this.
Zhuang Yufei continued, "Jealousy's control over the Demon Core greatly affects our strength, which is why we were defeated."
"I don't like making excuses for myself. We indeed lost this ti, and we also suffered heavy casualties," Jing Ge'er said darkly. "Afterward, we escaped from Jealousy's world and began searching for a way to undo Jealousy's control over the Demon Core."
"We found so clues in the ancient books we gathered from Jealousy's world."
"In the beginning, Jealousy used so special strength to design a thod to imprison the demonic seeds, then separate the origin powers of the demonic seeds from the Demon Core."
"Even so, Jealousy couldn't extract our strength, so he tried to divide the demonic seeds' strength into countless parts, gradually weakening the strength and continuing to extract from us."
"Jealousy's ability isn't anything special, and alone, he couldn't have done this. We tracked and investigated for a long ti and finally made a discovery."
Zhuang Yufei added, "Everything Jealousy did was completed with the help of a mysterious God. That person might be the mastermind who tempted Jealousy into taking our strength."
Fang Heng couldn't help but lower his head, deep in thought.
The power of the demonic seed and the core were divided, with the core controlling the power, then gradually splitting the power to make it manageable, and finally absorbing the power for its own use.
Jealousy's thod was quite impressive.
Wait a minute...
Fang Heng suddenly realized sothing. He felt as though he had seen a similar thod of controlling the power of a demonic seed before.
Using the thod of division, splitting the demonic seed's power so that the human body could gradually bear it...
He had heard Gu Qingzhu ntion this thod before.
Xia Xi?!
Could it be that Xia Xi was the mysterious mastermind who worked with the Jealousy demonic seed?
Fang Heng raised his head, his gaze fixing on Jing Ge'er, and he asked, "Who is it?"
"We don't know her na," Jing Ge'er replied. "But based on descriptions, she's likely a woman who erged from a special flesh cocoon. As for her appearance, identity, and na, all of that was deliberately erased from the records."
"After confirming the information, we unexpectedly found the image of the flesh cocoon in another set of records."
Zhuang Yufei then took out her phone, opened a photo, and showed it to Fang Heng.
Everyone froze upon seeing the photo, their gazes turning toward Fang Heng.
Fang Heng stared at the image on the screen, his eyes showing surprise.
This is strange!
The flesh cocoon in the photo looked very similar to the one he had seen when the zombie clones changed form!
Moreover, the flesh cocoon resembled the dried one he had seen by the Nether River.
In fact, the one in the photo was larger and had special markings on it, giving it an even more mysterious and higher-level appearance.
Zhuang Yufei looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, I rember your summoned creatures also have a similar flesh cocoon form, right?"
"Yeah, it might just be a coincidence."
"Is it?" Jing Ge'er responded ambiguously, pausing for a mont before continuing, "But that's not the only coincidence."
Fang Heng turned his gaze to Jing Ge'er and asked, "What do you an?"
"At that ti, we saw with our own eyes that there were five Demon Cores controlled by Jealousy."
"The seven major demonic seeds correspond to seven Demon Cores. Including the one that belongs to Jealousy, which still leaves one missing. Who do you think is missing?"
Jing Ge'er looked at Fang Heng and said, "I found it strange. While all the other demonic seeds were divided, you, Greed... it seems you weren't divided. I haven't seen another Greed like you, and your initial strength was unexpectedly weak."
The group's eyes turned toward Fang Heng once again.
"Don't look at like that. I don't know what's going on either," Fang Heng said, shrugging. "What exactly are you trying to say, Jing Ge'er?"
"Nothing," Jing Ge'er replied casually, though his eyes held a trace of curiosity. "I was just voicing so doubts. I thought maybe you'd have so hints for ."
He stopped there, not continuing the topic, and instead nodded toward Zhuang Yufei.
"We carefully examined the records of the flesh cocoon and searched for more clues. By chance, one of our team mbers, a demonic seed, had seen a flesh cocoon identical to the one in the photo in his world."
