180: Soul Needle Shows Its Power

Long Yuan deeply hated Human Traitors like those in the Shadow Moon Hall and Blood Wolf Hall Heretical Cults. In his view, no matter why Yun Yi was persecuted by his Family, he should not have joined a Heretical Cult and slaughtered the Human Race in return. Therefore, Long Yuan felt no mental burden absorbing Yun Yi's Soul Power; such Human Traitors should be eliminated completely!

Showing mercy to them would be the greatest malice towards ordinary members of the Human Race!

With a "thud," Yun Yi collapsed limply onto the ground, his eyes unfocused. Only his body was still twitching unconsciously, and a hint of regret lingered on his face. It was unclear whether he regretted the things he had done in the past, or regretted not eliminating Long Yuan sooner.

But no matter what he regretted, he wouldn't get another chance... Long Yuan looked up and saw that Cold Moon was still fiercely fighting the Teng Snake. She was panting heavily, her makeup ruined, looking incredibly disheveled. She hadn't even realized that the battle on this side had ended and was still urging Yun Yi to hurry over and help.

"Human Traitors must be eliminated by everyone! Even a Beautiful, Venomous Woman is no exception!" Long Yuan's mind stirred. His Divine Sense split into two strands, condensing into two long, incomparably sharp "Soul Needles." They tore through the air like lightning. Puchi, puchi, puchi, puchi... Cold Moon and the Teng Snake, who were fighting in the arena, suddenly froze. Immediately afterward, sprays of blood beads and lines burst from around them. The Teng Snake suddenly let out a mournful cry, its head slamming heavily onto the ground. Its body twisted for a moment before stopping. Cold Moon clutched her throat, her eyes fixed on Long Yuan's direction, an expression of disbelief on her face. Finally, she spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood and slowly collapsed to the ground, twitching continuously... She had never expected such a drastic turn of events when setting up a trap with Yun Yi today to capture Long Yuan alive. She had thought it would be a trivial matter, allowing her to conveniently pick the xuan yuan fruit and earn a fortune, yet she ended up losing her own precious life. Just then, an alluring fragrance wafted over. Long Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked toward the mystic essence fruit tree. Sure enough, the twelve xuan yuan fruit were nearing full ripeness. Once the xuan yuan fruit were completely mature, if they were not picked within half an hour, they would automatically fall and be absorbed by the root system, becoming nutrients for the mystic essence fruit tree. Therefore, Long Yuan decided to wait here for a while, using the time to clean up the battlefield.

A Stage Four Early Stage Teng Snake was quite valuable and naturally couldn't be missed. If sold at the Martial Arts Market, it would yield a significant amount of xuan stone. However, for Long Yuan, nothing compared to recycling it to feed the Heavenly Dao Space. Thus, with a thought, this Stage Four Teng Snake, massive like a small mountain Peak, was sucked into the Devouring Aperture!

After searching the two corpses on the ground and collecting the valuables they carried, Long Yuan checked them and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. These two were, after all, a Martial Ancestor in the Middle Stage and a Martial Master at the Peak, yet they carried so few possessions—they were even poorer than him!

What he didn't know was that although these cult members committed every evil imaginable, they were constantly suppressed by the Human Race. Living in constant fear, they dared not walk the Jianghu openly, so the money they earned was very limited. Furthermore, they desperately needed to convert their money into combat power for emergency escapes, so being poor was quite normal.

"A Shadow Moon Hall Token, so many informational Jade Slips, and these two mobile phones are a decent haul..."

The bags contained some useful data and information, including many Shadow Moon Hall secrets. Crucially, the two mobile phones stored a lot of top-secret information, which would be very helpful for tomorrow's operation and for understanding the Shadow Moon Hall.

Long Yuan carefully examined the two Tokens and mobile phones. Using the Heavenly Dao Eye for appraisal, he found that they both secretly contained tracking Backdoors. In other words, if he carried them without precautions, people from the Soul Moon Hall would be able to locate him using this Backdoor!

"As expected of a Heretical Cult, they won't even spare their own people! Huh? Is this... Beast Transformation Liquid?!" Long Yuan found two bottles of liquid in Cold Moon's bag, labeled with the words Beast Transformation Liquid, and marked as "Beast Transformation No. 1."

Long Yuan was already familiar with the Beast Transformation Liquid, knowing it was one of the good things the Three Great Heretical Cults used to attract followers. If the followers could absorb and refine it, they might transform into a Beast Race body in the future and possess the instinctive Martial Skills of the Beast Race. Many people joined the Heretical Cults because of this temptation; after all, talented Xuan Practitioners were rare, and those without talent who still wanted great power sought to use this method to achieve a sudden Curve Overtaking in life. Unfortunately, this path was also difficult. Many people failed to refine the Beast Transformation Liquid, becoming neither human nor beast, and eventually turning completely into trash!

The Beast Transformation Liquid Cold Moon had was likely acquired through merit exchange, and she had certainly consumed it before. She probably even possessed the Beast Transformation battle trump card. Unfortunately, upon meeting him, she didn't even have a chance to use this trump card, because the Soul Needle was a complete Dimensionality Reduction Attack for her; she didn't even have time to react or struggle.

"This item is worth studying. Perhaps I can extract the secrets of the Beast Race's instinctive Martial Skills from it! As for the corpses of these two, they are Xuan Objects formed by long-term Cultivation of Xuan Power. Should I recycle them like the Teng Snake?" Long Yuan put away the Beast Transformation Liquid and pondered.

He initially felt a bit uneasy about this decision, as the Human Race was different from Strange Beasts. But upon reflection, he felt that these cult followers were already ambiguous regarding Strange Beasts. Cold Moon and Yun Yi's bodies already showed signs of bestial transformation, likely due to the Beast Transformation Liquid's effects. Thus, the difference between them and Strange Beasts wasn't too great. In short, they absolutely could not be treated as members of the Human Race. Moreover, recycling their bodies would prevent leaving evidence at the scene. It would be bad if the Heretical Cults discovered clues, as he would then face pursuit from an entire Heretical Cult. Such major trouble needed to be avoided for now. So, with a thought, he moved the two of them into the Devouring Aperture and recycled them!

At this moment, the fragrance emanating from the xuan yuan fruit grew even stronger. The fruits were completely red. Long Yuan was delighted and quickly stepped forward to pick the xuan yuan fruit, placing them into the Jade Box he had prepared earlier. This would prevent the loss of the xuan yuan fruit's Xuan Power.

"This mystic essence fruit tree is also a good item. Should I move it into the Space and raise it?" A flash of inspiration struck Long Yuan. This thought made him realize that the variety of species in the Heavenly Dao Space World was currently quite limited. In the future, he could collect seeds of flowers, plants, and fruits from the outside world to plant in the Space. Perhaps under the nourishment of the Space's Spiritual Power, they might even evolve into Spiritual Flowers, Spiritual Plants, or Spiritual Fruits...
