As more and more disciples joined, the organization's ambitions grew.
From the initial basic training missions to the increasingly bizarre and strange missions that follow, they are basically conducted once every week.
Examples include collecting large quantities of poisonous herbs, taking daily medicinal baths, sunbathing outdoors, surveying the terrain, and establishing teleportation channels...
Finally, they extended their evil reach to the lower realms.
However, the lower realm is obviously not as resource-rich as the upper realm, and it is also in the midst of the apocalypse, which is basically at odds with their ideas.
However, they discovered that they were not the only organization to have come to the lower realm; it seemed that many sects and factions from the upper realm had gone to that desolate place—the human realm.
The purpose is still unknown, but this also reflects from another perspective that there are indeed profitable opportunities in the human world.
The human realm is inferior to the upper realm, and originally there were no spiritual cultivators. Therefore, their initial targets were just ordinary people who were powerless to even kill a chicken.
However, due to repeated arrests and pursuits, coupled with the blatant actions of certain upper-realm sects, many spiritual cultivators have fallen into their traps, becoming tools or experimental subjects.
Among them, one person stepped forward and proposed a bold idea: the human-demon experiment.
In ancient times, there was a bloodline of humans and magical beasts that was born from the union of humans and magical beasts. After the ancient war, it has been passed down to this day and has not been extinct.
And they actually found it.
Those were the two from the Black Dragon Clan.
Jiang Quan paused for a moment, then said to Ling:
"To make a long story short, that's about it. You know what happened next."
Zero nodded, indicating that he understood.
"So, you're also from the upper realm?"
However, once the words were spoken, Zero understood. Jiang Quan was also a spiritual cultivator, and in the Upper Realm, as far as Zero knew, it seemed that only he himself could cultivate.
Of course, not counting those in the space, there are also Zi You, Chen Xin, and the others.
"The Demon Realm..."
Could this organization be related to Li Su?
Speaking of which, Li Su hasn't made any moves in a long time.
Have they changed locations and become unreachable, or are they brewing some huge conspiracy...?
We don't know anything about these zeros, so we can only accept it as it comes.
"Some things may be unclear because my soul imprint was fused with it. It was during my time in the Upper Realm."
Jiang Quan continued.
Zero suddenly asked:
"That organization you mentioned, what's it called 'Demon Realm'? Do you know who's in charge? In other words, who's the person behind your former organization?"
Jiang Quan pondered for a moment, then exclaimed "Eh!" and said softly:
"That's really strange..."
"What's wrong?"
"I clearly have that person's outline in my mind, but I just can't describe it. It's like someone standing in front of me; I can see their face clearly, but when I try to describe it, it instantly becomes a blurry mess, indistinct, and even my memory of them becomes distorted..."
Upon hearing this, Zero frowned:
"Could this be another trick played by the soul imprint? Did it—no, did its original holder—leave a backup plan?"
Jiang Quan nodded and echoed:
"That's the only possibility. Surely my memory isn't so bad that I can't remember a person..."
"By the way, Brother Ling, do you have some connection with certain people, or do you suspect that the person behind the Demon Realm is your enemy?"
Jiang Quan was also extremely perceptive, and he guessed a lot about Zero from between the lines.
Ling nodded, neither denying nor denying, and simply told Jiang Quan everything that had happened around her and was related to Li Su.
Suddenly, Jiang, who had received a large amount of information, obviously couldn't react in a short time, and Zero gave him ample time to digest it.
"call--"
Jiang Quan took a deep breath and chuckled awkwardly:
"There's a lot of information here, let me sort it out..."
Zero is naturally an agreement.
A moment later, Jiang Quan finished combing his hair, looked at Ling with some curiosity, and smiled:
"I knew you were no ordinary person, but I never imagined you would encounter so many things, and that such a huge crisis would occur in the human realm. Fortunately, your appearance gave it a chance to ease the situation... However, I have never heard of that demon clan member named Li Su... Although we in the Upper Realm also have a demon realm, we have long since stopped interfering with the human world and do not interfere with or invade each other, so it is peaceful."
"It's alright..."
Zero smiled.
Jiang Quan raised his hand to support his chin, seemingly lost in thought, and said:
"Brother Ling, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"
Zero said jokingly:
"Then let's not talk about it."
Jiang Quan was taken aback, but Ling Fu immediately returned to his serious expression and gestured for Jiang Quan to continue.
"Brother Zero, regarding what you just told me, about how you didn't encounter any attacks during this period, there are actually many reasons..."
"Oh, Brother Jiang, please speak..."
"First, as you guessed, they haven't found your new location. Of course, based on their past attacks, this possibility is probably only about ten percent."
"Secondly, as you said, they are furious about a huge conspiracy. But judging from their past methods, it's not hard to see that their preparations are actually not thorough."
Upon hearing this, Zero nodded.
Jiang Quan's words made sense. In fact, every time their attacks failed, except for the first time when it was a surprise attack and Zero was not at the base, they succeeded and captured nearly half of the personnel.
On the next few occasions, they were able to escape danger unscathed.
If Jiang Quan hadn't pointed it out, Ling might have arrogantly believed that it was all her fault that the other party couldn't succeed. But, in reality, if she carefully recalled what happened back then, isn't there a possibility that...
Was the other party doing this on purpose, to make Zero find a flaw?
But then, what is the other party's purpose?
While most villains serve to hone the protagonist's skills, these...
Honestly...
It doesn't look like it!
Shaking his head, Ling temporarily put aside his thoughts and said to Jiang Quan:
"Brother Jiang, besides these two guesses, you seem to have other ideas. Why don't you tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Quan nodded and shared his other, and most confident, idea:
"The second inference has about a 20% probability. The guess I'm about to make has a 70% probability!"
"I am all ears."
"Zero Brother, you said before that besides your base here, there are actually many other human bases outside, right?"
"That's right."
He nodded and replied.
"That's it."
"Since your base can be attacked, others will naturally be attacked as well."
"You mean..."
"That's right, that's exactly what you mean. Since they were able to attack you multiple times, what about the others? If I'm not mistaken, they must also have a powerful force behind them. So their target can't be just you."
