Chapter 37: Mission Impossible



The fellow monks of the Hell Realm are unwilling to reveal their true faces even in their base, and they refer to each other by numbers.

The only exception is Wei Dongliu: because he has achieved the position of the leader of the Six Paths Alliance, and the content of No. 9's mission is public, everyone knows that No. 9 is Wei Dongliu.

Of course, no one knew that Wei Dongliu himself was also a disguise...

Soon, everyone arrived.

Except for the sect leader Taoist Luo, the rest of the people were shrouded in black fog, and their faces could not be seen clearly. One could only know the other party's number based on the order in which they sat.

Although Wei Dongliu's identity was exposed, he followed the local customs and created a layer of black mist of demonic energy to cover his body.

"The reason I called everyone here this time is to confirm the progress of your tasks." Taoist Luo said calmly, "Let's start from number one."

Number One cleared his throat and began to talk about his mission.

Wei Dongliu listened silently at the side and realized that No. 1 was a hidden agent lurking in Penglai Yuqing Temple.

Although the other party deliberately concealed his identity, and the content of his narration was mainly about the mission itself and the situation in Yuqing Temple, how familiar was Wei Dongliu with Penglai? He immediately guessed that the other party should be lurking in Shendan Pavilion, and his status did not seem to be very high... Many of his guesses and analyses about Penglai Yuqing were wrong, okay?

After listening to No. 1, Taoist Luo did not comment, but just said lightly:

"Since the mission of No. 3 was completed, Yuqing Temple has vigorously investigated and purged the spies. Although it has temporarily stopped, it is still tight inside."

"Don't rush to find out the news. The most important thing is not to expose yourself."

Number One did not continue to answer, but just hummed.

Wei Dongliu looked at number three and knew that this person was probably Luo Yan’s second senior sister Lei Caiyan.

Next it was number two's turn: the voice of this black shadow seemed a little hoarse, and he liked to pause and stutter while speaking, making it very difficult for everyone to understand him. No one knew whether he was born like this or was just pretending.

This person is not lurking among the Three Pure Ones and Six Paths, but is a novice monk in a Buddhist temple.

The name of the Buddhist temple is "Golden Cicada Temple", a name that Wei Dongliu had never heard of... You know, he is a know-it-all who has opened five small accounts at the same time and mingles among the major sects!

What is the origin of this Jinchan Temple that even the hell is lurking inside?

As for the specific situation mentioned by No. 2, they were all trivial matters of Buddhism, such as where the abbot had gone, who had entered the Sutra Library to practice, etc. Taoist Master Luo listened silently and did not give any instructions. He just asked No. 3:

"How are things going over there?"

"The Heavenly Demon Sect has been acting strange lately," Number Three replied. "It is said that Patriarch Zizai's personality has changed drastically. He usually doesn't care about government affairs, but as long as it involves the affairs of the Mortal Sect, he will order the Sect Master and others to fully cooperate without making any mistakes."

"Many elders have suspected that this immortal was possessed by a demon, which is why he is so different now, but there is no evidence."

"Plus, the old master Zizai is still powerful, and no one dares to test him now. They can only follow his orders silently."

Wei Dongliu listened silently, thinking that after Lei Caiyan rebelled against Penglai, he changed his appearance and went to the Heavenly Demon Sect again.

"Well." Taoist Luo said coldly, his voice seemed a little unhappy, "Number Three, let me remind you to distinguish between public and private affairs."

"Don't wear a mask on your face for too long that you can't take it off."

"It doesn't matter." Number Three said nonchalantly, "Everyone has already guessed who I am... I might die someday."

"Although I was ordered by the sect to hide in Penglai, Shi Ding did not owe me anything. On the contrary, he was very kind to me. Betraying him was the sect's mission, so I had to do it. But the one who killed him was the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and I must avenge him."

Wei Dongliu: ...

Oops, I feel a little ashamed of myself.

After Elder Shi Ding passed away, I was always busy running Tiangong Workshop and taking care of Lady Liuli, but never thought about revenge for him... Although it was also because of my lack of strength, I ultimately did not fulfill my duty as a disciple.

The only person who wanted revenge on him was his second senior sister who had already betrayed the sect... How shameful.

Well, now that I have formed a fetus, I will find a time to kill Luo Yan’s account and kill the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ghost Mother sisters to comfort my master’s spirit in heaven!

Seeing that No. 3 had given up on himself, no one said much, but they all looked at No. 4 and No. 5.

These two positions were empty, but no one knew why... I only heard No. 6 suddenly say:

"Since No. 4 and No. 5 were killed by Taiyin Sword Master, the investigation of traitors has been particularly strict in Shushan recently. I can't do anything, otherwise I will be in danger."

"Then you should just lie dormant for now." Taoist Luo sighed and cursed, "Master Taiyin Sword, what the hell is this thing? How come it seems to have suddenly jumped out from the cracks of the rocks?"

"The presence of Taiyin Sword Master in Shushan has really disrupted our pace." Number Six also sighed, "Overnight, the immortal abdicated, the headmaster was replaced, and the high-level environment almost changed drastically."

"Most of the connections and information networks I built in the past have now been paralyzed. I need more time to rebuild my connections, and I can't complete the tasks assigned by the sect for the time being."

Wei Dongliu listened silently, sneering in his heart, having already guessed the other party's identity.

Either he is a disciple of Elder Minghua or a disciple of Elder Lengquan.

These two were executed as the main culprits. Although their disciples were not punished, they were inevitably ignored by other peaks.

It's only natural that the network of contacts is completely paralyzed... Be careful, you insider, don't let me, Ling Yunpo, catch you!

After number six finished complaining, it was number seven's turn.

Number 7: ...

He remained silent and everyone looked at him in silence.

Then... I only heard Taoist Luo say:

"Okay, number eight."

Wei Dongliu was stunned: So you were communicating in secret just now, right?

What is it that you can't talk about at the gathering, but you have to whisper to the clan leader? Isn't this treating the brothers as your own?

When number seven finished, number eight spoke up:

"There is no major movement in Kunlun for the time being."

Although this person's voice was disguised, Wei Dongliu quickly recognized it. It seemed to be the guy who came to chat with him and try to get close to him at the gate of Hell Road last time.

"Elder Chang Geng has formed his Nascent Soul, and many forces in Kunlun are busy trying to recruit disciples from him." No. 8 continued, "Unfortunately, the four people chosen by the head of Ziwei Sect are from the four major families of Xu, Luo, Zhao and Ge. The rest were rejected by Chang Geng, so our hidden players were unable to infiltrate."

"Yes." Taoist Luo said calmly, "Chang Geng is the future head of Kunlun, so the safety and reliability of his disciples are naturally the top priority."

"Don't think about attacking him for now. Just keep a low profile."

Wei Dongliu didn't say anything, but his mind was racing.

Xu Luo and Zhao Ge did indeed take the top four places on the Road to Heaven, and therefore were accepted as my disciples - that's how it seemed to outsiders.

But what almost no one knows is that before the result of the Road to Heaven was announced, Master Ziwei had already reserved the places for these four people for me... Why did Number 8 know that?

Who is he?
