"Was that mysterious cultivator also a member of the assassin team that tried to assassinate Lord Black Hand?" He Lili asked curiously. This made Chen Jing secretly cheer; it was something Chen Jing wanted to ask, but dared not.

Chen Jing was eager to know how the members of the Black Hand gang viewed 'himself'.

“No,” Li Si said. “Through some means we don’t know, the gang leader found the list of members of the assassin team, the ‘Black Flag Mercenary Group,’ and there were no Dao cultivators at the Dan Realm level among them.”

“We have two guesses. One is that there is a Daoist cultivator in the ‘Black Flag Mercenary Group’ who is disguised as a cultivator from another Daoist path. The second is that, since the assassination involves the struggle of important figures, the mysterious Daoist cultivator may come from someone or some force that hired the ‘Black Flag Mercenary Group’.”

As expected, no one suspected me... That makes sense. I had just returned from Meijing City that day, having just finished summoning the wandering souls of slaves. I was still an ordinary person. No one could have imagined that I would become a person with extraordinary abilities, enter the large ship, complete the assassination, and even rescue people... Chen Jing thought.

Hmm... there's another point worth noting: it seems that Lu Gang's blood sacrifice operation was kept secret from everyone else? Was it carried out only by his trusted confidants? This might be important information.

"The struggle of big shots is..." He Lili was asking when suddenly she heard the sound of the outer shell hitting the ground.

Just then, Chen Jing finally cooperated with Li Ai to peel off the outer shell of the faceless cocoon.

Beneath the shed shell are delicate, pink, folded wings!

Zhang Taoying looked at Li Si with admiration: "Priest, your guess seems to be correct..."

Dao Nan: "The maggots evolved into cocoon people, and the cocoon people evolved into winged people... The essence of the maggots is humanity... hiss..."

Li Si remained silent and did not comment on Zhang Taoying's flattery.

Chen Jing and the other two peeled off about three relatively intact parts, along with some other pieces.

“The larger ones can be used as shields or processed into armor, and the smaller ones can also be used to make armor,” Dao Nan commented.

The will-o'-the-wisp, which had condensed into a human shape, floated behind Li Si, then dispersed again, turning into four flames.

"Search this room and see if there is any identification information."

As she spoke, she walked into the outer shell, into the human-shaped body. With a grab at her lower abdomen, she dug out a plump, spherical elixir, along with a lot of white tissue fluid.

Although this elixir was also very full, it was not shrouded in mist.

She put the elixir into the wooden box and said to Chen Jing and the others, "I'll keep this for now. We'll discuss how to distribute it when we get back."

"Since we didn't receive support from the gang leader, we don't need to share our spoils with them this time."

Chen Jing nodded, had no objections, and began searching the area.
