Chapter 175 I Believe Jiang Li Is an Undercover Agent

Chapter 175: Those who believe Jiang Li is an undercover agent are set for life.

A mighty sound swept across the scene.

Rays of lightning seemed to flicker in Jiang Li’s eyes, suddenly illuminating with dazzling Divine Might. The air around him instantly became scorching, carrying tiny, jumping electric arcs. He spread his five fingers, and a six-colored tribulation lightning bolt struck the Nascent Soul Stage family head who was presenting the gift.

Amidst the bursting lightning, his figure slammed through the ground with a rumble.

This sudden scene startled everyone present.

Whether it was the secular families, the immortal Cultivation Schools, the Loose Cultivators, or the Nine Great Immortal Sects, all showed varied expressions, not expecting an invasion by the Demonic Path during the challenge segment.

The Tianxuan Holy Land’s response was the quickest.

Within three seconds of Jiang Li’s move, they took action. Two Nascent Soul Stage Xuan Peak Elders stepped forward to control the dying Nascent Soul Stage family head. A probe with their Divine Sense immediately uncovered evidence that the opponent was a force supported by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

The scene erupted in an uproar.

They had never imagined that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect would be so rampant as to dare cause trouble at the Saint’s grand ceremony. Was this an attempt to assassinate the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son?

They were secretly alarmed: After returning, they would sever all ties with this Lin family, to avoid being implicated and offending the Tianxuan Holy Land.

At the Immortal Sect level, several Immortal Sect representatives swept their gazes around, their eyes filled with a mix of inquiry and surprise.

This was a Demonic Path Prodigy? Why couldn’t they detect any abnormality?

“I’ve long heard that the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son possesses the ability to discern evil and see into people’s hearts, and he has a nature that abhors evil. Seeing it today, it is indeed so; he couldn’t even wait a second and decisively made his move on the spot.”

An Immortal Sect Elder stared intently at the scene.

He was curious about Jiang Li’s method of distinguishing Demonic Cultivators.

If they could master this method, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Ten Demonic Sects planting undercover agents within their ranks.

“Congratulations, Saint, on eradicating the Devil Head that harms the world. We are eternally grateful.”

A Sect Leader of the Nascent Soul Stage Late Stage congratulated him.

Jiang Li’s gaze shifted.

His stern expression showed no emotional fluctuations, like a cold Heavenly Dao scrutinizing the human world. Without forming any hand seals, he slowly raised his right arm and pointed a finger into the air.

“Evil demons, be punished!”

As soon as he spoke.

A thick, six-colored Golden Core tribulation lightning gathered above the Nine Heavens. The tribulation lightning continuously flickered and changed colors, enveloped in a dazzling light that was impossible to look at directly, and descended with a rumble.

The Sect Leader, who was in the Nascent Soul Stage Late Stage, let out a “Tsk,” and leaped, deviating from the direction of the descending tribulation lightning in a thousandth of a second, narrowly avoiding it.

But this action also exposed his unbefitting strength.

The aura of the Blood Dao assailed them.

“It’s Blood Hell True Lord.”

From the direction of the Tianxuan Holy Land, the Heaven Sword Peak Lord and the Hall Master of Law Enforcement descended, their gazes fixed intently on this figure.

As opponents they had dealt with before, they immediately recognized his identity as Blood Hell True Lord of the Thousand Souls Demon Sect, a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

“Don’t waste your efforts; this is just one of my Incarnations. You can’t catch me.”

Blood Hell True Lord laughed sinisterly.

The Thousand Souls Demon Sect’s specialty was using borrowed bodies to cast spells, controlling Puppets from thousands of miles away to fight. He, furthermore, had integrated blood into his Dao on this foundation, creating a batch of blood Dao Incarnations that he could control, while his true body remained hidden in the headquarters, remotely directing the battle. The previous ambush on Jiang Li was one of the few times he had used his true body.

Now, trying to catch him again was impossible.

“Jiang Li, are you so eager to kill your own comrades? Is it a guilty conscience? It’s a pity that the Demonic Path mark on your body cannot be washed away. You are a person of the Thousand Souls Demon Sect in life, and a ghost of the Thousand Souls Demon Sect in death.”

Blood Hell True Lord’s words were shocking.

He exposed that the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son, Jiang Li, was an undercover agent of the Demonic Path.

He attempted to divert attention.

However… the Heaven Sword Peak Lord and the Hall Master of Law Enforcement’s expressions did not change in the slightest, only showing a hint of mockery.

They admitted, they were amused by this joke.

Had this Blood Hell True Lord forgotten that he and Profound Yin True Lord had ambushed Jiang Li not long ago, intending to eliminate him?

Now you’re saying Jiang Li is an undercover agent of the Thousand Souls Demon Sect? What, was the previous ambush a ruse, and they even sacrificed the life of a Soul Transformation Cultivator to set up the scheme?

That’s ridiculous.

It would be less absurd to say Jiang Li was an undercover agent for the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Although the probability is still zero, it could at least deceive some ignorant people.

Few people on the Immortal Sect side believed him either, secretly chuckling: This Blood Hell True Lord of the Thousand Souls Demon Sect truly couldn’t find any flaws in Jiang Li, this Heavenly Mystery Holy Son, and could only use such an obviously fake narrative to try and muddy the waters.

It’s a pity… they all had their own discernment.

Saying Jiang Li was an undercover agent of the Demonic Path was less convincing than saying Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord was an impersonation by a Righteous Path Cultivator; perhaps that would attract more attention.

Among the crowd.

The borrowed-body Puppet controlled by Lord Gu Xin also felt a sinking in his heart.

The ominous premonition had indeed come true.

Jiang Li had betrayed the sect and had completely become a person of the Tianxuan Holy Land. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so decisively killed the family head of the Lin family who delivered the message. Even if the other party had shown the slightest hesitation, he would have silently accepted the Storage Ring and then made further plans.

But Jiang Li’s approach was too resolute, too righteous.

To be honest.

If he didn’t clearly know Jiang Li’s true identity, he probably wouldn’t have thought that the renowned Heavenly Mystery Holy Son could be associated with the word ‘undercover’.

This could be seen by looking at the surrounding crowd.

After Blood Hell True Lord’s revelation, fewer than a hundred people in the audience showed skepticism.

This was an absurd number.

This was the site of the Saint’s grand ceremony, including the Tianxuan Holy Land, the number of Cultivators observing exceeded ten thousand, yet only less than a hundred were skeptical. Most of them were Cultivators from the secular world, and not a single high-ranking Immortal Sect member held a skeptical attitude.

Damn it!

This Jiang Li is truly a genius. To be an undercover agent to this extent, even if he were to produce Jiang Li’s undercover file now, it would probably be considered forged.

Lord Gu Xin analyzed.

Then he realized that unless Jiang Li personally came forward to admit it—no, that might even be considered a feint. Only if Jiang Li personally defected from the Tianxuan Holy Land, joined the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and then killed a group of Immortal Sect Disciples, would he possibly be recognized as an undercover agent of the Demonic Path.

He cursed inwardly: No one has ever disguised themselves as an undercover agent to this extent.

At this thought.

He got the answer he wanted.

He prepared to retreat.

Suddenly.

He sensed Jiang Li’s gaze fall upon him.

The deep, dark cold pool flickered, and lightning burst forth.

The next second.

Jiang Li’s palm condensed a deep, dark purple lightning, containing a point of extreme white light, forming a purple-white lightning bone spear.

Whoosh!

The bone spear was thrown.

Its speed was even a bit faster than a lightning bolt.

Almost at the instant Lord Gu Xin’s borrowed-body Puppet blinked, it pierced through his body, nailing him to the ground, no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

Lord Gu Xin was horrified.

His borrowed body had a Nascent Soul Stage Middle Stage Cultivation, yet it was so vulnerable under Jiang Li’s attack, unable to even withstand a single blow. Such strength was truly overpowered.

Lord Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord actually let such a peerless Prodigy go, he must have hit his head… At this moment, even with his utmost loyalty, this thought couldn’t help but surface in Lord Gu Xin’s mind.

It eventually coalesced into one meaning—Lord Demonic Lord is muddle-headed.

As his Divine Sense dissipated, Lord Gu Xin stared fixedly at Jiang Li’s face, enunciating each word: “Jiang Li, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect will not let you go. You know the consequences of betraying the sect all too well.”

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Li’s heart tensed.

The message delivery earlier was indeed a test from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

During his impersonation of Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord, everyone in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect who knew his undercover identity had already been dealt with by him. The only two who still knew, besides the true Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord, were Lord Gu Xin.

Now.

Lord Gu Xin, through this Saint’s grand ceremony, had confirmed his betrayal. This meant he had gained another enemy. What he needed to guard against next was not only the true Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord but also the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s one hundred and thirty-four caves.

Jiang Li’s sense of urgency deepened.

In his thoughts.

The Qi Refining Method’s demon-extermination operation continued.

Without Lord Gu Xin and Blood Hell True Lord, the remaining Demonic Path rascals were not worth mentioning, not even causing a ripple. Of course, this was also related to the overall level of the Demonic Path rascals being only at the Golden Core Stage.

But thinking about it, it made sense; it wasn’t an assault on the Tianxuan Holy Land. For an operation that was destined to fail, the two great Demonic Sects naturally wouldn’t commit more combat power.

The sole purpose of this operation was to cause trouble and tarnish Jiang Li’s identity.

However… the effect was minimal.

Especially with Jiang Li displaying his Divine Might, imbued with righteous Qi, and lightning surging, like a thunder god descending to the mortal realm, who would dare imagine such a Saint, who cultivated lightning techniques and eradicated demons to uphold justice, was an undercover agent of the Demonic Sect?

Those who believe this are set for life.

Soon.

With Jiang Li’s clearing of the area, the site of the Saint’s grand ceremony returned to peace.

Logically, after this should have been the challenge segment, where any Immortal Sect Disciple who questioned Jiang Li’s strength could offer a fourth-tier Spirit Treasure as a wager and demand a challenge.

But now… none of the Immortal Sect Disciples on the viewing platform made a move.

They stood silently in their ranks, looking at each other, as if saying: Why don’t you go?
