Chapter 316

Rain-Mist City outer city area, inside an ordinary cave dwelling.

"Not good, one of my child worms was discovered." A cultivator in the cave dwelling sensed it, slightly confused. "How could this child worm clone of mine be exposed?"

The Soul-Bewildering Worm race had a relatively strong disguise ability, sneaking into the souls of cultivators. Rain-Mist City's many defense systems could not detect them. Generally, the exposure of one clone would not affect other clones.

"It seems I need to be more careful in my actions," the cultivator thought. He still stayed in the cave dwelling.

Only a moment later—

Boom!

A blood light instantly penetrated the formation of this ordinary cave dwelling in the outer city area and also swept past this cultivator.

"Hmm?" This cultivator widened his eyes, still unable to believe it.

The blood light condensed into Luo Feng's figure, holding a child worm of a Soul-Bewildering Worm in his hand.

"This Soul-Bewildering Worm is very cunning; generally, when sneaking into the city, they are child worms, and the mother worm might be hiding outside the city," Luo Feng frowned. The 'Soul-Bewildering Worm race' and 'Soul-Devouring Snake race' that could sneak into Rain-Mist City were indeed the races that cultivators feared the most. As for the 'Void Wanderer race,' the number of times it had appeared in the entire Jiuhe Sacred World could be counted on one's fingers, and their harm could be ignored.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Feng's clones, using the Imitation Life and Death Eye, followed the karma lines, chasing and killing the clones of the Soul-Bewildering Worms.

"Not good!"

"The cultivator can track my many clones!"

As clones were caught one after another, other clones also panicked.

A Soul-Bewildering Worm could differentiate into nineteen child worms in total, and the death of each child worm was not a small loss.

"Hurry out of the city!"

In a cultivator gathering, two cultivators exchanged glances and stood up without hesitation, ready to leave.

"Brother Xike, why are you two leaving so soon?" Other cultivators at the gathering asked.

"Urgent matter."

These two cultivators responded casually and were about to leave.

Suddenly—

A blood light instantly penetrated the formation, flashed past, and swept past the two cultivators who were about to leave. The two cultivators fell down powerlessly, and the blood light condensed into Luo Feng's figure on the side.

"Two more child worms." Luo Feng looked at the two Soul-Bewildering Worm child worms in his hand and instantly crushed them to death.

The cultivators at the gathering also saw the Soul-Bewildering Worm child worms and also saw Luo Feng's appearance.

"Brother Xike and the others were actually controlled by Soul-Bewildering Worms?"

"Soul-Bewildering Worms, should be targeting us, preparing to control us?"

This group of cultivators felt lingering fear.

"Thank you, Senior Luo Feng."

The cultivators present were mainly at the 'early-stage God Emperor Dao-seeker level' and all had information about Luo Feng, knowing this powerful existence who defeated Elder Tianhe in a crushing manner and completely ignored the Insect Nest!

"Senior Luo Feng, I am Nan Xue Feng Yu," a woman said immediately. "Thank you, Senior Luo Feng, for saving our lives."

Luo Feng glanced at this woman; she was one of the official members responsible for sales in the Elixir Tower, and naturally, he had seen her several times. Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Nan Xue Feng Yu was quite excited.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng instantly turned into blood light and disappeared.

"Soul-Bewildering Worms sneaking into Rain-Mist City is very difficult to find traces of. Senior Luo Feng can actually hunt down these Soul-Bewildering Worms." The cultivators present were all a bit shocked; they were weak, and face-to-face, they couldn't detect the traces of the Soul-Bewildering Worms.

Facing the Soul-Bewildering Worms, they could only resist the talent secret technique 'Soul-Bewildering'! This was also one of the reasons why cultivators attached great importance to soul-will.

The stronger the soul-will, the greater the hope of resisting 'Soul-Bewildering.'

Inside an ordinary cave dwelling in the outer city area.

The thin cultivator sat cross-legged.

"What's going on?" The thin cultivator soul-contacted his companions. "Our Soul-Bewildering Worm race's thirty-five branches in the Jiuhe Sacred World are all gathered in Rain-Mist City this time! The operation must not fail. How come there are ordinary members of the 'Soul-Bewildering Worm race' launching attacks now? Which branch does the member launching the attack belong to?"

"It belongs to my branch," a voice responded. "According to the King's instructions, it must be kept secret below the leaders. I brought the same race to Rain-Mist City this time, and only restricted the core ethnic group under my command. As for the middle and lower-level ethnic group... I only let them restrain themselves and didn't give many instructions."

"Jiuyu! The closer it gets to the critical moment, the more we must all hide and not make any more moves."

"Occasional attacks by middle and lower-level members are the norm that every cultivator city will encounter. If there is a period of time... where there are no infiltration attacks in the whole city, that would be the strange thing," Leader Jiuyu responded.

"Forget it, forget it."

The thin cultivator transmitted, "Everyone must remember, if ordinary members are exposed, let them die! Don't go to save companions, so as not to expose more of the same race."

"Understood."

"We understand."

"The King's matter is the big matter."

One leader after another responded.

Low-level Hunyuan lifeforms have always lived in the nine rivers, and because they want to hunt cultivators, they have formed thirty-five massive branches according to the locations of the thirty-five cities in the Jiuhe Sacred World.

The Soul-Bewildering Worm originally had a branch in the area around Rain-Mist City.

Different branches are far apart and rarely contact each other.

But this time...

Under the King's call, all thirty-five branches of the Soul-Bewildering Worm race in the Jiuhe Sacred World responded to the call, and more than half of the core power of each branch had arrived and quietly gathered in Rain-Mist City.

The thin cultivator looked at the elderly cultivator walking from not far away.

"I received news that members of your Soul-Bewildering Worm race have taken action?" The elderly cultivator was confused.

"It was a private action by the bottom level," the thin cultivator transmitted.

"The closer it gets to the final moment, the less carelessness can be tolerated. This time, more than half of the Soul-Devouring Snake race in the entire Jiuhe Sacred World has been exhausted. And all the 'Kings' are ready. At all costs, inside and outside combined, just to completely destroy Rain-Mist City," the elderly cultivator transmitted. "With such a great price, no accidents are allowed."

"This time it was just an attack by the bottom level, a small matter, not worth mentioning. Occasional infiltration attacks are the norm in Rain-Mist City," the thin cultivator also used this reason. "If there are no attacks for a long time, the three Hall Masters of Rain-Mist City will be suspicious instead."

"Fine. By the way, when exactly is the King coming?" The elderly cultivator asked.

"Just be ready to act at any time," the thin cultivator said.

The elderly cultivator didn't ask any further.

A cultivator in red robes stood there, watching a blood light attacking a cave dwelling in the high sky, and then this blood light flashed and left again.

During the close contact, Luo Feng didn't notice any problems with this cultivator in red robes.

"According to the information, this cultivator is Luo Feng?" The cultivator in red robes watched. "Looking at it, the strength should be ranked in the top twenty of Rain-Mist City."

"However, in the entire Rain-Mist City, the only one worth paying attention to is one—Hall Master Weiyang."

The cultivator in red robes looked toward the core direction of the city from afar.

"Hall Master Yuanxiang's injuries are getting heavier and heavier, and I'm afraid he doesn't dare to make a move anymore. Hall Master Getao is dedicated to weapon refining and is extremely selfish in his bones. Once facing a large-scale siege, I'm afraid he will choose to escape at the first opportunity," the cultivator in red robes thought.

"Although Hall Master Weiyang is also selfish and ruthless, he has spent too much effort in Rain-Mist City and has already regarded Rain-Mist City as his territory, so he won't give up easily."

"My first target is this Hall Master Weiyang."

"Get rid of him first."

"Once Hall Master Weiyang is dead, the next steps will be much easier."

The cultivator in red robes walked leisurely; among the countless cultivators in the entire Rain-Mist City, he was not conspicuous at all.

Luo Feng stood in the high sky, and one clone after another merged into his body.

"I killed a total of fifteen Soul-Bewildering Worm clones," Luo Feng thought. "These fifteen Soul-Bewildering Worm clones all belong to two different Soul-Bewildering Worms."

"After killing these clones, these two Soul-Bewildering Worms should also be seriously injured."

Facing those with many clones, Luo Feng also had a headache.

Just like Origin World powerhouses, wanting to kill them thoroughly is very difficult.

Now Luo Feng also faced a similar problem.

"Hum~~~" "Hum~~~" "Hum~~~"

Suddenly, patches of fluctuations descended, shrouding the areas where Luo Feng had attacked before, and teams of Rain-Mist City inspectors also arrived, starting to arrest a large number of cultivators quickly.

"According to Rain-Mist City's laws, when low-level Hunyuan lifeforms sneak in to assassinate, all one thousand cave dwellings around the lurking place need to be carefully screened to prevent low-level Hunyuan lifeforms from possessing them."

"According to Rain-Mist City's laws, during the lurking period of low-level Hunyuan lifeforms, all cultivators who know them also need to be carefully screened."

"All cultivators cooperate with the inspection; those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Cultivators in patches of areas were a bit dazed, but hearing the inspector team's announcement, one by one, they also obediently cooperated.

"When low-level Hunyuan lifeforms are lurking, you know them, please cooperate with the screening." The inspector team started arresting cultivators in patches; these cultivators were a bit dazed, but didn't dare to resist.

Arrests were being made in patches.

Luo Feng watched all this from afar.

"It's miserable."

"They say cooperate with the inspection, but without obediently handing over a large amount of Hunyuan Crystals, I'm afraid they won't be able to come out for a short time."

"Who let them get involved with lurking low-level Hunyuan lifeforms? Once involved, they have to be scraped off a layer."

Many cultivators discussed quietly.

This was also the norm in Rain-Mist City!

Every time a lurking attacker is discovered, a screening will be carried out. The members being screened... even if they are not controlled, they will be peeled layer by layer.

Suddenly, an inspector team came to Luo Feng's front, and the inspector team leader said respectfully: "Qiufeng, thank you God Emperor Luo Feng for discovering fifteen Soul-Bewildering Worm clones and saving more cultivators!"

Luo Feng watched all this.

"Senior Luo Feng." A female cultivator who was arrested in the distance saw Luo Feng and shouted hurriedly; the female cultivator was Nan Xue Feng Yu!

"God Emperor Luo Feng, do you know her?" This inspector team leader Qiufeng said.

Luo Feng nodded: "She is a member of my Elixir Tower; I can ensure that she has not been possessed."

"God Emperor Luo Feng has ensured it, then there is no problem; let her go." The inspector team leader ordered, and Nan Xue Feng Yu was released.

"Thank you, Senior Luo Feng." Nan Xue Feng Yu came to thank him hurriedly.

Luo Feng nodded, but his mood was not very good.

He was clearly hunting down the low-level Hunyuan lifeform 'Soul-Bewildering Worm,' and now tens of thousands of cultivators were implicated, all to be screened and peeled! It was not easy for those ordinary cultivators to earn some Hunyuan Crystals.

"Hall Master Yuanxiang." Luo Feng transmitted directly to Hall Master Yuanxiang.

"Hahaha, Luo Feng! How did you discover the Soul-Bewildering Worm race? And even able to discover fifteen clones?" Hall Master Yuanxiang responded, quite pleasantly surprised.
