112: Shadow Demon Clan, Learn the Secret

The corpse before them was not only human-shaped but also pitch black, clearly not human but definitely not a demon beasts either.

"Master, I encountered this by chance. At that time, I was still in the Martial General Realm. It targeted me late at night, and I only managed to take it down after seven days of intense battle."

Galan's eyes flashed with joy upon seeing Li Wuji's expression. "During the fight, I learned that this creature is called a Shadow Fiend. Its abilities are strange and entirely geared towards assassination. Even I was almost killed."

"What!"

This time, the surprise in Li Wuji's eyes deepened. One must know that Galan's strength could be said to be the strongest among all Sequencers besides Luo Xiu.

She was an almost invincible existence at the same rank, yet she was nearly killed by this Shadow Fiend in front of her.

"Master, no need to worry. Although this fellow had just broken through to Martial Grandmaster when I encountered him, if not for being unfamiliar with his abilities, I could have killed him quickly."

Li Wuji was startled at first but then revealed an expression of excitement. "It seems that besides the god fragment having special effects, the Broken Blade fragment is also extraordinary."

Even though he already possessed the treasure orb he had seized from the Lithification Sandworm King, he still didn't believe that item could compare to the god fragment and the Broken Blade fragment.

He had long anticipated that since the Editor could give him these things, it meant their original forms must exist, and he would have to find where they were himself.

But he quickly snapped back to attention and looked at Shadow. "So you gave this Shadow Fiend to Shadow?"

"Yes, Master. This Shadow Fiend's abilities are strange. I brought it back not just to serve as material for Master."

Pausing, Galan also looked at Shadow. "004, as Master's eyes, is completely insufficient with his current abilities and strength."

Seeing both of them look at him, the expression on Shadow's face didn't change at all; he simply bowed to them again.

"Master, there's something I need to report to you."

Li Wuji nodded, and at the same time, a crystal-clear Spirit Gu flew from his fingertip, then flew directly into the Shadow Fiend corpse's brow.

Only after doing this did he turn to look at Shadow. "Go on, what happened?"

"First, I established an organization called Shadow Killer. Currently, its main purpose is to complete assassination missions and gather intelligence."

Shadow spoke in an orderly manner, and Li Wuji showed no surprise upon hearing this, but then his expression changed.

"Coincidentally, Li Mingxuan also joined Shadow Killer, but I did not interfere in any way..."

"No need to pay too much attention. If he wants to join, let him. You can also use this opportunity to let him know some secrets. This world is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"Yes, I understand. There is one more matter concerning 005 Luyin and 006 Yang Shuo!"

"What about them?"

Li Wuji raised an eyebrow. He didn't know what connection these two would have, and even Galan at the side showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Immediately, Shadow recounted everything he knew in detail. After speaking, he cautiously observed Li Wuji's expression.

However, Li Wuji, aside from a slight surprise at the beginning, maintained a calm expression throughout, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

A sharp glint flashed across Galan, but she didn't say anything, only looking at Li Wuji, as if she would strike immediately if he gave the command.

The entire room fell into a strange silence. A moment later, Li Wuji suddenly smiled.

"No need to mind them. If they want to cause trouble, let them. Who lives and who dies is entirely up to them."

Although he said this, Li Wuji knew that with the abilities of those two, it would be by no means easy for them to kill each other.

This might even give them motivation and make them stronger.

With this thought, Li Wuji looked at the Spirit Gu that had just emerged from the Shadow Fiend's brow. He reached out and grabbed it, and the Spirit Gu transformed into a streak of light, flying into his brow.

He had previously used abundant vitality to stimulate the Shadow Fiend's already dead brain, and then absorbed its remaining memory fragments through the Spirit Gu.

A moment later, Li Wuji opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them. "Shadow Fiend clan, the Great Purge a hundred years ago, the Calamity of the Hundred Races."

"Master?"

Galan called out softly. Li Wuji took a moment longer to digest the information and calm his excited mood.

"I'm fine!"

"This world is truly interesting. What else is hidden beyond the Great Xia?"

Li Wuji murmured. Through the remaining memories in his mind, he learned many secrets.

For example, after Blue Star mutated and expanded three hundred years ago, the world underwent great changes, and various strange races emerged. These beings were called Foreign Race.

They possessed extraordinary intelligence, and each Foreign Race had different racial talents, but most of them primarily fed on the Human Clan.

Therefore, the countries at that time paid an extremely heavy price to eliminate the vast majority of the Foreign Race, and some Foreign Race were even extinct in that turmoil.

However, there are no absolutes, and some remnants of the Foreign Race survived.

But even those Foreign Race who survived were mostly old, weak, and disabled, and they dared not appear openly in Human Clan cities.

And saint relics were items carried by those Foreign Race. As for whether the Foreign Race created them themselves or where they came from, the memories did not contain that information.

As for the Shadow Fiend clan, they were one of the Foreign Race that had survivors, and this one was a survivor of the Shadow Fiend's catastrophe.

After all, Human Clan Martial General can live for two hundred years, and Martial Grandmaster can live up to five hundred years.

Even if the Foreign Race generally live longer than Human Clan due to physical reasons, two or three hundred years is still most of their lives.

Li Wuji was not concerned with these grudges; he only cared about where these Foreign Race came from.

Were they born from the mutated Blue Star?

Or did they originally live on Blue Star, but no one had discovered them before, and they only came out after Blue Star mutated?

Or, did they come from outside Blue Star?

Thinking of this, Li Wuji looked at the Shadow Fiend's corpse again, then with a thought, the Shadow Fiend's corpse was lifted by an invisible force.

The next moment, several cracks appeared, and the Shadow Fiend was actually divided into eight pieces of similar size.

Immediately after, these pieces of flesh instantly disappeared, transforming into clusters of black liquid about the size of a fist, suspended in the air. Li Wuji divided each cluster into two portions and put them into bottles.

"Go and capture eight people. Just don't attract attention."

After speaking, Li Wuji put away these materials and strode away. Galan followed closely, while Shadow went to capture the people.

Having been a killer for so long, he naturally knew what kind of people wouldn't attract attention.

Li Wuji found a quiet place, and after Shadow delivered the people, he began his experiments.

Galan stood silently outside the door, gently wiping the sword in her hand with a piece of silk cloth.

Shadow naturally didn't leave either, silently vigilant nearby, but his gaze became fervent, occasionally glancing towards the room.
