Chapter 203: Eastern Continent Meeting

Xu Qianghua has been using this item to create fake versions of himself and integrate into various circles to gather information about the families.

In addition, he joins these families to find out if anyone is looking to fight him. Due to the families being low-key, many would try to find allies to share the burden.

And yes, he could send in the Shadow soldiers to infiltrate, but he knows that most conversations often happen secretly, involving only their closest members.

However, for the Shadow members, it will take a few more years before they can reach the inner circle. This is where he comes in; his disguise can work wonders and serve as a silent knife when necessary.

With this method, he can attend all the future meetings that are likely to be important, as the top family heads will be leading figures shaping this part of the world.

Just like today, when Chen Zemin is gathering these top family heads to discuss the evil cultivators—a topic that has never come up in his last life.

This is because the evil cultivators don't appear for several more hundred years, and by then, they will have powerful cultivators who can rival the top cultivators from their side.

But now, the top cultivators have the chance to learn about the evil cultivators before they become a significant threat, potentially saving millions of lives.

However, Xu Qianghua is not going to attend the meeting in person. Instead, one of his clones will participate for him.

How is that possible? After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators can break off a small part of their soul and let it leave their body.

But since this process is both painful and damaging to one's foundation, not many people do it. However, after a cultivator reaches the Incarnation realm, the situation changes.

In the Incarnation realm, cultivators can remove a part of their soul without much effort, and the missing area will heal quickly.

Like the city in the Northern Continent, a tragedy was avoided due to a group of people, but we can assume these are not all of them.

I mention this because, in the past few days, I managed to find a small group of these evil cultivators and gather some information about them.

From what I learned from this cultivator, I am sure that there are many more evil cultivators; this is because the manual they use comes from one of the lowest-level chests in the world."

He paused for a moment, taking out a talisman before continuing, "What I have in my hand is the manual I obtained from the person I captured.

Additionally, I found out that the requirements for this manual are very low. It aims at low-level talents who have no future.

This manual grants them strength in exchange for the lives of their fellow beings, which is how this evil cycle starts: the low-level sacrifice once and gains strength that they could only dream of, leading them to commit more evil deeds until it becomes a habit.

Hearing this, the room filled with murmurs as everyone tried to digest what Chen Zemin had said.

Their surprise turned into horror as they understood how the manual worked; it was similar to the carrot-and-stick method, but the carrot is given to the evil cultivators while the stick is left to the human race.

However, they soon realized that they could not do anything to stop these low-level cultivators from using this manual, as they knew these low-level cultivators would never listen to them.

In their eyes, the top cultivators were the luckiest bunch and also the most stingy, which is why many low-level cultivators were always against the top cultivators due to jealousy.

Chen Zemin continued, "And to deal with this I propose we create a joint task force made up of members from each of our families.

This group will hunt down the evil cultivators and eliminate them before they can strike again."
