Chapter 16: Mission from the Lord of Desire

Chapter 16: A Mission from the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord

Bloody space.

The Divine Thought of the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord floated in mid-air, appearing as a blood-colored mist, a pair of crimson eyes staring down at Jiang Li.

There was a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.

“You can kill a Qi Refining eighth-layer Disciple within the Sect?”

He could tell that Jiang Li’s Realm was only Qi Refining fifth-layer.

“A successful sneak attack.”

Jiang Li’s words were concise and to the point.

He couldn’t hide it from Tianxuan Holy Land, so he could only tell the truth.

But no Disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect saw him kill, so how he explained it was up to him.

After a long while.

The blood-colored mist reacted again.

An eerie, invisible sound wave spread downwards.

“I understand this matter; you did very well. I have already instructed someone to inform them to raise your authority. You will serve as a hidden agent of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in Tianxuan Holy Land. You only need to focus on climbing up; you do not need to participate in any undercover missions.”

Jiang Li was overjoyed.

This was exactly what he wanted.

How could an undercover agent not perform undercover missions?

Especially since Yuan Li, the undercover contact in Tianxuan Holy Land, was at odds with him. If Yuan Li ordered him to perform a mission that would surely lead to death, he would not be able to refuse.

Now.

This problem was solved.

He could continue to lie low.

Just as he was happy, the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s cold voice rang out again.

“You should understand the consequences of using your identity token. If you cannot continue to demonstrate your value to me, then I will personally kill you.”

“Understood.”

“Good that you understand. Since you have such an opportunity in Tianxuan Holy Land, this chess piece of yours can also be activated. I want you to join the Law Enforcement Hall and become a Core Disciple. At the appropriate time, I will have other undercover agents and even members of the Sect cooperate with you to help you achieve promotion.”

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Li’s expression subtly changed.

Core Disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall?

No.

How did it come back to this?

The reason he didn’t choose to join the Law Enforcement Hall back then was because the nature of the Law Enforcement Hall was too dangerous and too offensive.

Once involved, given the nature of the Cultivation Technique, Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art, he would have to uphold justice daily.

Of course.

If the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord was willing to cooperate, then this matter was not impossible to do.

It just wasted undercover agents a bit.

But since the Ten Thousand Demons Sect wasn’t his, it was like selling ancestral land; he didn’t feel bad.

Jiang Li readily agreed.

…

Tianxuan Holy Land, Immortal Cave.

Jiang Li’s consciousness returned.

He let out a long sigh.

The impact of annihilating the undercover agents was finally eliminated.

Next was to lie low in peace, wait for a suitable opportunity to join the Law Enforcement Hall, and achieve promotion to Core Disciple by taking on missions within the Law Enforcement Hall.

Jiang Li had a headache.

One wave had not settled, and another rose.

How did he feel that after his strength increased, he had more work to do?

However, Jiang Li did not regret it.

Rather than having his life in the hands of others, being exploited to the fullest without resistance, he would rather take some risks and remove all shackles.

At this moment.

Jiang Li noticed that the panel information had been updated.

“Name: Jiang Li.”

“Identity: Disciple of Tianjian Peak, Tianxuan Holy Land (Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s 410th Possession body).”

“Realm: Qi Refining fifth-layer.”

“Main Cultivation Technique: Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art.”

“Main Mystical Art: Dragon Slaying Sword.”

Four hundred and tenth?

Jiang Li was a little surprised.

He remembered that when he was at Qi Refining fourth-layer, he was still the 550th backup Possession body.

He didn’t expect that just by advancing one minor Realm, his ranking would move up by 140 places.

It seemed he had already made an impression in the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s mind.

Jiang Li was thoughtful.

Deepening his impression in the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s mind had both pros and cons, but no matter what, he still couldn’t resist this great Demonic Lord now.

He could only lie low.

Just as he was thinking.

The Communication Talisman made a sound.

The sender was Yuan Li, the undercover contact from Lingzhi Peak.

“There’s a problem with the spiritual plants you’ve cultivated. Come over immediately.”

This was the secret code between undercover agents.

It was to cover up their tracks.

However, Jiang Li probably knew the purpose of this old dog seeking him out.

After all.

He had returned alive and well from Shuangyu City, and all the other undercover agents had died.

As an undercover contact, it was normal for Yuan Li to look for him.

It was just bad timing.

He had already resolved his worries.

After all.

Who would have thought he still had a way to reach the heavens directly?

Although this was also a negative buff.

“Get lost.”

Jiang Li replied unceremoniously.

He no longer paid attention to Yuan Li’s message bombardment.

He began to experiment with the new attribute of the Cultivation Technique, Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art—Soul of Righteousness.

This was an amplification skill.

Under the blessing of the Soul of Righteousness, the defensive capability of the Righteous Shield he cast increased significantly.

It was enough to withstand attacks below the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This discovery made Jiang Li overjoyed.

As a mechanism monster with high attack and low defense, defensive power was too important to him.

Not long after.

Jiang Li discovered an uninvited guest outside his Immortal Cave.

It was Yuan Li.

This undercover contact, due to Jiang Li’s lack of cooperation, came with a sinister look on his face.

His first sentence upon meeting was a thunderbolt.

“I already know your secret. You’re quite bold, daring to collude with the Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall to wipe out the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s temporary stronghold and kill everyone else.”

Jiang Li was greatly shocked by these words.

He looked at the other party with a strange expression.

Yuan Li was not misled by Jiang Li’s expression and said confidently, “Isn’t it? The temporary stronghold was destroyed by the Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, and all undercover agents, including the envoy, were annihilated. Only you survived. Is this a coincidence?”

“The only answer is that you betrayed the Sect. You leaked the information about the temporary stronghold to use the Law Enforcement Hall to get rid of the envoy who wanted to take you away.”

“Jiang Li, oh Jiang Li, I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to betray the organization.”

By the end of his speech.

The big stone in the heart of this undercover contact fell.

Because he finally caught Jiang Li’s handle, no, it should be said, his vital point.

As long as he held onto this matter, Jiang Li would be at his mercy like a dead dog.

Daring no resistance.

Jiang Li sneered, “Idiot.”

After saying that.

Jiang Li threw out a blood-colored secret order.

It hit Yuan Li hard in the face.

This was given to him by the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord when he left the bloody space.

The content was very simple.

It was to have the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s undercover agents in Tianxuan Holy Land cooperate with his actions.

This was undoubtedly an imperial sword.

He could cut down anyone he wanted.

“Take a look.”

Jiang Li said indifferently.

Yuan Li was suspicious and uncertain, frightened by Jiang Li’s calm demeanor. After struggling for a few seconds, he picked up the blood-colored secret order and examined it.

Upon seeing it.

He was completely stunned.

To have him, the undercover contact, fully cooperate with Jiang Li?

Give resources if he wanted resources? Give lives if he wanted lives? Give cooperation if he wanted cooperation?

?

He slowly typed a question mark.

What was going on?

A traitor who betrayed the interests of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, leading to the complete destruction of the temporary stronghold, not only was not punished but was also given important responsibilities, even making him, the undercover contact, fully cooperate?

What a joke.

How was this possible?

Was this still the Holy Sect he knew?

Just at this moment.

Jiang Li’s mouth curved, “Have you finished reading? The higher-ups want you, the undercover contact, to fully cooperate. I want to know, to what extent can you cooperate?”

“Kneel.”

When saying this, Jiang Li’s expression turned cold.

His tone deepened.

Carrying an irresistible pressure.

Upon hearing this.

Yuan Li’s face became extremely ugly.

His expression was uncertain.

His fists clenched tightly.

But under the words “fully cooperate,” he could only kneel in humiliation.

Even though he knew Jiang Li was humiliating him.

“Enough, is that enough?”

Yuan Li gritted his teeth.

“I will fully cooperate with your actions.”

Jiang Li did not speak.

Only the curve of his mouth grew wider.

After three years, he finally launched his first counterattack against Yuan Li.

Trampling him firmly underfoot.

This feeling was wonderful.

But this was not enough.

Unless he killed this old dog, the hatred in his heart from these three years would not be appeased.

In ancient times, Emperor Yan was deprived of his fighting Qi for three years before rising.

Today, Jiang Li was exploited and suppressed for three years before gaining power.

After a while.

Jiang Li finally relented.

“Get lost.”

Yuan Li was as if granted a great pardon and scurried away.

The resentment in his eyes almost materialized.

Regarding this.

Jiang Li’s eyes were deep: I need to find an opportunity to lure this old fellow out of the Holy Land and kill him while I have the chance. He’s an eyesore.
