Chapter 143

Chapter 143

"Since you say so, I won't beat around the bush," said General Panyong.

Immediately, a light screen appeared in the void.

On it appeared rows of text, showing the names and appearances of ten evolvers.

"These ten evolvers are the ones our clan has deduced to be the most likely true identities of the Thirteenth Peak Master based on various information," General Panyong said.

Other consciousnesses turned their attention to the light screen.

The ten evolvers on the screen were all members of the Red Kun Lineage.

Among them, the last one was a three-eyed man of the tribe.

As for the first nine, they were evolvers who had performed outstandingly in the past few Red Kun main star tests, mainly focusing on the Crimson Mark Evolvers.

"General Panyong, showing us this list alone is not very helpful."

"Yes, most of these evolvers are hidden on the main star of Red Kun. How do we proceed?"

"Even if we manage to kill one recklessly, the others will surely be alert, making it even harder to act."

The remaining consciousnesses frowned, expressing some confusion.

"You don't need to take action," General Panyong said calmly.

"One of our clan's experts in curse killing is willing to expend a thousand years of lifespan to perform the curse killing technique."

General Panyong explained.

The curse killing technique involved a special application of the law of cause and effect.

Understanding the law of cause and effect was extremely difficult, let alone deriving relevant secret techniques from it.

Moreover, the curse killing technique had significant limitations, requiring at least two major realm crossings to perform, and each use consumed a vast amount of lifespan.

Unless absolutely necessary, few experts would voluntarily use the curse killing technique.

Of course, using the curse killing technique was far more effective than assassination; regardless of distance, as long as there was a connection of cause and effect, one could directly curse kill.

"Curse killing?"

"That's an easy way out."

"Direct curse killing, these ten evolvers won't even have time to react."

"That's right. Currently, the Thirteenth Peak Master is only at the fifth rank, not yet advancing to the sixth rank. Using curse killing on him only requires a seventh rank curse killer."

"If we wait until he advances to the sixth rank, attempting curse killing would require an eighth rank curse killer to pay a great price, and even then, success is not guaranteed."

After some discussion among the consciousnesses, they agreed to General Panyong's approach.

Given the potential displayed by the Thirteenth Peak Master, it was best to eliminate him before reaching the sixth rank.

Once he reached the sixth rank, with many life-saving means at his disposal, even if an eighth rank curse killer was willing to expend thousands of years of lifespan, it might not be possible to curse kill him.

"I need you to fulfill your promise," General Panyong immediately negotiated a deal with the other consciousnesses.

Half a day later.

Subtle spatial fluctuations rippled through the starry sky.

A humanoid creature covered in scales emerged.

"This is the 'medium'," General Panyong's mind moved slightly, and ten items appeared.

These ten items, from the ten evolvers on the list, were collected by General Panyong's men from the planets where they lived.

They had come into contact with these ten evolvers and retained some of their aura.

Although the curse killing technique was unpredictable and difficult to defend against, it required the use of a 'medium' to perform.

From cause to effect.

Locking effect to cause.

"Panyong, remember your promise."

The humanoid creature covered in scales stared at General Panyong for a moment, then swallowed the ten 'mediums' in one gulp.

Buzz!!

Invisible ripples spread out.

The humanoid creature covered in scales seemed to be affected by some kind of backlash and began to collapse.

"That's it," General Panyong nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, after you die, your clan will be treated well."

General Panyong looked at the gradually collapsing figure and spoke.

For the humanoid creature covered in scales, the remaining thousand years of lifespan were far from enough to make further progress.

"Now."

"Let's wait."

General Panyong looked at the other consciousnesses.

Trading a thousand years of lifespan from a rare seventh-rank curse killer for the lives of ten fourth and fifth rank youngsters was definitely a big loss.

But as long as one of these ten youngsters was the Thirteenth Peak Master, it would be a gain, not just a gain, but a big one.

Main star of Red Kun.

The three-eyed man finished his cultivation.

"Hmph."

"Fool."

The three-eyed man glanced downward.

Seeing Fang Qing hastily leaving, it was obvious that something was going on.

The three-eyed man didn't like Fang Qing, not only because Fang Qing was just a Silver Mark initially, but also because he had expended a lot of favors to other disciples for his friend Lin Yuan.

As a result, Fang Qing had a good image in the Red Kun Lineage.

"True strong ones are always lonely; they don't need any friends. Needing friends only shows that one is not strong enough."

The three-eyed man's gaze was firm.

"I..."

The three-eyed man let out a sigh of relief, about to get up.

Just then.

An invisible wave descended.

"No!!!"

The three-eyed man widened his eyes, and the bloodline mark on his brow opened.

But it was all meaningless; as the wave dispersed, the three-eyed man's soul rapidly dissipated.

At the same time.

"No need to watch anymore."

"Let's go back and report."

Several aliens disconnected from the virtual world.

When they saw the figure of the Thirteenth Peak Master, they realized that they couldn't stop his rise anymore.

With what could they stop him? Curse kill him again? Not to mention if they could find another willing seventh-rank peak expert skilled in curse killing techniques to cooperate with them.

Even if they found one, what then? How would they select the target?

The ten evolvers they had chosen previously were the most likely targets for the Thirteenth Peak Master.

Now that they had all failed, they needed to choose from a much larger pool of evolvers.

The possibility of another failed curse killing attempt would be much higher than the first.

Virtual world.

Personal space.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes.

Through challenging evolvers from various evolutionary paths, Lin Yuan's proficiency in the martial path of evolution continued to improve.

"Someone wants to visit me?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the visitor list.

Since being suppressed by Black Prison Ao,

There were very few people who came to visit him.

Even when Fang Qing appeared and resolved the situation where Canglan Star's trade was cut off, Lin Yuan, this person, was still put on many forces' 'blacklists'.

Too arrogant, too troublesome.

Today he offended Black Prison Ao; who knows who he'll offend tomorrow.

"Mr. Lin, I'm Director Shi Cai from the Huiyin Group."

A man with a hooked nose smiled.

"Hello."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"We hope that Mr. Lin can take the lead and help us contact Lord Fang Qing."

The man with the hooked nose stated his purpose.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, the Huiyin Group will definitely reward you generously afterward."

The man with the hooked nose promised.

"No need."

"I can't promise you that."

Lin Yuan shook his head and refused.

So these people wanted to get to know Fang Qing through him?

"In that case."

"Sorry to bother you."

The man with the hooked nose maintained his smile.

He directly exited Lin Yuan's personal space.

When he returned to reality, a hint of gloom appeared on the man's face.

"Don't you even see what situation you're in now?"

"And still so arrogant."

The man with the hooked nose sneered.

In his view, Lin Yuan was currently only able to live so well because of Lord Fang Qing's favor.

If he didn't take advantage of Lord Fang Qing's current appreciation for him to make more connections with other forces, it would be a complete waste of resources.

"Wait and see."

"I'll see what your future holds."

The man with the hooked nose sat in his seat. If Lord Fang Qing could protect you for now, could he protect you for a lifetime?

In the future, when you lose Lord Fang Qing's protection, what will you use to face the Black Prison Family?

Central Continent Manor.

Underground training ground in the main building.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

In front of him, a reddish "stone" was placed.

Under his extraordinary comprehension, the inspirations emanating from the red "stone" and the insights gained from sparring with various evolvers were constantly combined.

He rapidly improved his proficiency in the martial path of evolution and enhanced the efficiency of soul integration.

Until he reached a critical point.

It's unknown how much time passed.

An hour.

Ten hours.

Or a day.

Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.

"I..."

Lin Yuan only felt a sense of 'completion' emerging from every part of his body, or more accurately, from the depths of his soul.

"Soul integration."

Lin Yuan immediately began to sense the degree of his own soul integration.

After a moment.

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Because in this world, his soul integration degree had already reached...

One hundred percent.
