Seeing the true face of the Baiyuan Sect Leader.
Lin Yi and everyone involved in this mission were all utterly shocked.
Were those Curry Country people behind this?
Everyone felt that they were possibly just one step away from the truth.
Lin Yi descended from the sky.
Exited the exalted state.
Yet those Baiyuan cultists surrounding the altar continued to watch him with almost reverential eyes.
With Lin Yi present, there was naturally no need to worry about these fanatical cultists doing anything out of line.
Lin Yi approached the body of the Curry Country person.
The mont he got close, an incredibly strong stench of decay assaulted Lin Yi’s nostrils.
This body was already in an advanced state of decay.
The ti of death was at least several days to a week ago.
Through the Eye of Omniscience.
Lin Yi had long discovered that this was a puppet.
He had just skillfully used abilities to act no different from a living person.
The one controlling him from behind had considerable strength.
As Lin Yi pondered whether this Red-robed Sect Leader was connected to the force behind the Purple Moon Mark he had seen before.
His peripheral vision suddenly caught the puppet on the ground, staring at him with an incredibly mocking expression.
The rotting jaw, with only a few tendons remaining, was still opening and closing, making a creepy clattering sound.
Its previously shriveled body was rapidly swelling.
Lin Yi’s pupils shrank!
Corpse explosion!
He also has the Necromancy Elent.
In almost an instant, he knew what the master behind this puppet intended to do.
Destroy the corpse to cover up!
At the very last mont, a figure flashed in front of Lin Yi.
Lin You wielded the Elegy of the Soul.
And slashed towards the void above the puppet’s mouth!
A flash of black blade light appeared.
Lin Yi saw countless hanging threads suspended in the air suddenly snap!
These threads were woven with the soul.
Ordinary attacks really had no way to deal with this kind of Silk Puppetry controlled by soul manipulation.
But Lin You is a Necromancy Lord!
The threads were cut off.
The self-destruction of the Curry Country person’s corpse on the ground was interrupted.
A crisis was averted without a trace.
"Soul Search."
Lin Yi commanded.
Lin You’s eyes glowed with a purple light.
anwhile, Lin Yi was not idle either.
Fingers touching the corpse.
[Touch of Reincarnation] activated!
The next mont, a vision appeared before Lin Yi.
The vision presented by the Touch of Reincarnation was always in the first-person perspective of the subject.
This was a dim underground corridor.
The Curry Country person that Lin Yi was portraying was squatting in a corner.
Eavesdropping on the conversation between two people.
However, this part of the conversation left Lin Yi completely at a loss.
Because it was in East Japan language.
Lin Yi couldn’t understand anything they were saying.
He only knew that it seed like the two eventually noticed this Curry Country unlucky fellow squatting in the corner.
Finally, before the unlucky fellow’s death,
It was a crisp and swift throat slice.
It was also that sa hand with the purple crescent symbol tattoo.
The vision disappeared.
Lin Yi opened his eyes.
The corpse of the Baiyuan Sect Leader only gave him a few attribute points.
Not to ntion any good skills.
But at least Lin Yi confird one thing.
The ones who killed those thousands of Great Wall Army stationed at the border were the East Japan people!
These bastards!
Daring to conduct such underhanded activities here!
On the other side, the purple light in Lin You’s eyes gradually faded.
A scene was similarly transmitted back to Lin Yi’s mind.
Still that dark underground passage.
Only this ti, the perspective changed from the first-person view of that Curry Country unlucky fellow to an omniscient point of view.
Never thought the plot could connect this way.
"Lord Mitsui."
"Several puppets I sent out for reconnaissance discovered a natural cave deep underground, a gathering place for the Baiyuan Sect."
"It’s actually not surprising that these Baiyuan cultists are here."
"They probably discovered the Descent Abyss Rift underground long ago, and my puppets even eavesdropped on them accurately predicting a small-scale eruption of the rift in three days."
The other person called Mitsui was precisely the one Lin Yi had seen before, ruthlessly killing Li Jiahao.
Only, his face was concealed under a pitch-black mask, making it impossible to see his features.
His voice was exceptionally low.
"Never thought this was just to retrieve this Descent Abyss instance..."
"Yet there are such unexpected gains."
"The reinforcents sent by Xia should already be on the way, make sure they co and never return!"
"Try to use your puppets to infiltrate the Baiyuan Sect, it’s best if you could beco their leader."
"These blind fools have an almost fanatical obsession with the abyssal Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, just find an abyssal powerhouse that recently appeared and made it on the Blue Star global threat list as a gimmick."
"Entice those Da Xia people to co investigate this incident, sacrifice them en masse."
"This way, not only can we continue advancing our plan, but later, when Xia’s true top-tier forces co to investigate, they will only think it’s the work of the Baiyuan Sect, unrelated to us!"
"So..."
"Regarding Curry Country...?"
"Proceed as planned!"
...
The scene cut off here.
Completely interrupted.
Lin Yi opened his eyes.
Silently sighing in his heart, such a ruthless thod!
The first layer, covering the deaths of those border guards with the eruption of Descent Energy.
The second layer, even if investigated deeply like they did.
They would only think it was the Baiyuan Sect causing trouble.
Even going further.
Only to find that Curry Country was involved.
Unexpectedly, it was the work of these East Japan people!
Then, what did Mitsui an by the "plan" he ntioned?
"Have you found anything?"
Nangong Ling asked.
Lin Yi organized what he had just seen and the information known so far.
Then revealed everything.
"C...Captain! Are you saying the mastermind behind this tragedy is actually the East Japan people?"
Lin Yi nodded solemnly.
"It’s not just the East Japan people; Curry Country across the border is also involved."
"And the plan they ntioned should be the biggest crisis!"
As Lin Yi finished speaking.
He saw Nangong Ling looking dumbfounded.
However, the shock on her face seed sowhat unnatural.
Lin Yi glanced sideways.
Seeing those Shenxiao corpse collectors behind her pretending to sleep, showing signs of shock.
It seems they weren’t shocked by the evil sches of the East Japan and Curry people.
Nor by the complexity of this mission.
But by the fact that he almost restored the truth of the event in such a short ti!
No doubt, if it weren’t for Lin You’s Soul Search, plus the additional intel from his Touch of Reincarnation.
He and others would still be in the dark.
Lin Yi looked deeply at Nangong Ling.
The look made her uneasy.
Feeling sowhat guilty, she avoided his gaze.
Then changed to a serious expression.
"Lin Yi junior, this mission is too complex, too dangerous!"
"Even beyond my expectations."
"Request backup!"
As Nangong Ling spoke, she took out a communicator flashing with red light.
Her finger pressed forcefully on the red button of the communicator.
Soon, the other end of the communication connected quickly.
"Did the mission fail?"
"Report the situation first."
Lin Yi heard the voice, it was Lan Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, we have found the missing personnel."
"Including over a thousand reinforcents from the Southern Military District, and our Shenxiao expert group and corpse collector team."
Upon hearing this, Lan Ruoxi’s tone softened sowhat.
"Then why use ergency contact?"
Nangong Ling continued, "We encountered a situation beyond A-grade task difficulty, from the current investigation results, Curry Country and East Japan are involved, and there may be a bigger conspiracy; it’s not as simple as the Descent Abyss copy eruption described in the task."
"Comprehensively evaluated, we are severely understaffed; the enemy’s numbers and strength are unknown; to safely rescue and transfer a large number of survivors, I request support!"
Lan Ruoxi on the other end pondered for a mont.
But soon gave a response.
"I’ll report as soon as possible."
"Now escort our expert group back!"
"Once the escort is successful, this mission is complete!"
The communication ended.
Nangong Ling looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had already guessed many things.
But since Nangong Ling was unwilling to speak.
He naturally chose to continue cooperating.
"Everyone, escort the targets back!"
"We’re leaving here!"
Just as Lin Yi finished speaking, a violent tremor shook the entire massive underground space.
Countless stalactites on the cave ceiling began to fall due to the earthquake.
Lin Yi’s gaze focused, and the gravity field instantly expanded!
In the next mont, the fallen boulders and ice spikes floated in mid-air, unable to drop any further.
Along with the earth-shaking.
Also erupting from the depths were endlessly spurting black Descent Energy!
The bottom of this cave seed to be the space rift that those East Japan people ntioned connected to the Descent Abyss World; it is now completely expanded.
This Descent Energy eruption might be even more terrifying than the last one by several tis!
Is this the so-called "plan"?
No ti to think further.
In the blink of an eye, the erupting Descent Energy below subrged the tens of thousands of Baiyuan followers beneath the altar.
The more than ten-ter-high altar seed like a solitary boat in the ocean at this mont!
At any ti, it might be completely swallowed!
How to proceed?
Blast through the rock ceiling above?
No...
There’s no ti!
Even a Forbidden Curse might not be fast enough.
Because Lin Yi couldn’t confirm their depth from the surface.
If several kiloters remain to the surface, not to ntion fire elent or thunder elent Forbidden Curses.
Even if Lin Yi could pull down a teor, it may not crash through such a thick layer.
Staying here ans waiting for death.
Once the violent Descent Energy below fully erupts, everyone will die!
"Feng Sanyou!"
"Space Channel!"
This was Lin Yi’s only thought of a solution!
Fuzzy head waking up, the petrified little chubby being terrified by the sight and the earthquake shook.
His survival instinct quickly recalled the feeling of opening a space wormhole last ti.
In the next mont, spatial ripples spread.
An even larger wormhole opened than before.
However, it’s still not big enough!
There are a thousand people here!
