Chapter 37: Double Agent Pangolin [22] (Seeking follows and collections)

Over at Green Snake Mansion, they were naturally acting as if facing a formidable enemy, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, sharpening their weapons and awaiting battle.

Yet over at Jinshe Mansion, as time flowed on, the plot was already unfolding much like the memories of the previous life.

Dawa was heroic and invincible, unleashing a grand ultimate move.

Then, after a bout of fighting, Dawa bit the dust~

Erwa feared no danger and charged right in...

Erwa was finished.

Sanwa was stubborn and refused to believe in evil, sweeping through everything invincible...

Then, covered in bindings, he truly entered the Yaodong horizontally.

During this process, aside from needing the Golden Centipede avatar to step out and fight, Fang Longye had been watching coldly from the sidelines, and he confirmed that the brains of the two True Immortals had truly become dull under the erosion of the Forbidden Technique.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, filled with demon spirits and monsters, a Human Clan old man appeared—was this not strange enough?

Yet the Snake and Scorpion Demons turned a blind eye, not feeling that there was anything strange at all.

Not only were their brains dull, but their strength had also declined severely.

Under the Mitian Banner, his true self had already reached the inside and outside of their Cave Abode, yet they had not the slightest awareness.

In the eyes of the Golden Centipede avatar, the boundless and immense Dharma power of the two demons looked like nothing to his true self now.

At any rate, he was a demon of insight who had "witnessed" the grand scene of the Immortal Qin conquering the heavens.

Honestly, he had a mind to jump out directly, regardless of anything, and grab them all—whether it was Huluwa or demon immortals.

To let himself interrogate and dispose of them.

After all, relying on two Spirit Treasures, he was truly feeling a bit inflated.

Yet there was a faint sense of crisis lingering in his heart.

He also understood that it was likely brought to him by the Mountain God, who had never appeared in the original work.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He felt it was better for him to be the "oriole."

He simply lingered at Hulu Mountain, watching the performance of this children's show. Relying on the dual concealment of the Mitian Banner and his Golden Finger, he did not fear being discovered.

He yawned; he truly felt sleepy watching the plot of this children's show, which had been around for some years even in his previous life.

Just at this moment, a soft sound caught his attention.

Sensing a strange demon aura faintly emanating from the mountain peak, he did not act rashly, but approached silently.

Soon, on one side of the mountain peak outside the Yaodong, he found a cave the height of a person.

Staring intently, a figure inside entered his sight. Immediately, his spirit lifted.

"It's actually a pangolin!" He saw an adult-sized pangolin constantly digging into the mountain rock.

He immediately unfurled the Mitian Banner to expand the range of concealment, shrouding the excavated cave.

Without holding back, he fully unleashed the high-grade Dharma Treasure, the Immortal-Binding Rope, easily capturing the pangolin, which was only at the Chengdan Realm.

To be safe, he waved his hand and cast a Blue Sea Covering Heaven Technique.

Only then did he point his finger to perform Soul Searching Technique on it, which was already dazed under his illusion-path divine ability.

A Jade Pendant emerged in its sea of consciousness, blocking his probe. If not for his current possession of the Hidden Spirit Divine Ability and the Sun-Moon Pupil Technique, he would have truly found it difficult to discover this Jade Pendant.

He would have only thought he had probed the pangolin's mind clearly and found no abnormalities.

"It's actually enough to prevent a Yuan Immortal from probing one's thoughts, but this can't stump me~"

He now possessed many methods, so he immediately operated a special Dharma technique to bypass this precious Jade Pendant and completed the soul search. "So that's how it is! Truly the king of spies~"

This pangolin was initially a scout selected by the Snake and Scorpion Demons, granted this precious Jade Pendant, and as a monster, it joined under the command of Qingshe to gather intelligence for the two demon immortals.

As a result, after advancing to the Shape-Condensation stage, it was spotted by Qingshe for its cleverness and became a scout again to gather news on the Snake and Scorpion Demons.

Not long after returning to the command of the Snake and Scorpion Demons, the still-suppressed Snake and Scorpion Demons sent it out again to join the command of the mountain spirit known as the Mountain God in the original work.

"So the mastermind behind Huluwa is a spiritual intelligence born from this Hulu Mountain. Hmm, although this mountain spirit does not practice the Divine Immortal Path, it is reasonable for him to call himself a Mountain God given his origin."

"I just don't know what the intention is for this mountain spirit to indulge the pangolin in tunneling through Hulu Mountain to release the Snake and Scorpion Demons." Fang Longye absolutely did not believe that a mountain spirit capable of making two True Immortals wary would fail to see through the pangolin's background.

Qingshe sending a spy to the Snake and Scorpion Demons was because she knew that with those two demon immortals suppressed, their divine sense could barely transmit sound, making it impossible to probe thoughts or distinguish loyalty from treachery.

Yet these two demon immortals were muddled for a moment; a precious item that could prevent a Yuan Immortal from probing thoughts might not necessarily defend against an existence of their own level.

Flipping through the pangolin's memories, Fang Longye soon sensed the abnormality in the mountain spirit's actions.

"First planting Huluwa, then leaking the secret of the Seven-Heart Pill to the pangolin to let it report the news. Going to such great lengths, there must be some scheme." In any case, he did not believe that deliberately releasing two demon immortals and staging such a grand play was simply to completely eliminate these Snake and Scorpion Demons.

Just as he was pondering, a point of golden light suddenly appeared deep within the pangolin's soul, then spread out, shining brilliantly.

It contended with Fang Longye's illusion-path divine ability.

"There's a problem!"

Fang Longye made a prompt decision and directly deployed the Twelve Phases Yuan Chen Moon Wheel Method to shroud the pangolin's entire body.

A full moon engraved with the twelve Dao characters of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai submerged into the pangolin's sea of consciousness.

The circular wheel filled the entire space of the sea of consciousness, shining brightly.

The twelve zodiac patterns of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig wrapped around these twelve Dao characters, emitting a vibrant Dao Rhyme.

As soon as it was deployed, it was like a furnace melting snow. The originally thick golden light retreated immediately.

Seeing it could not win, the golden light immediately shrank into a point, transforming into the image of a white-haired old man.

"Are you that crocodile under Qingshe's command? How dare you ruin my good deed!" His eyes carried chilling killing intent, wishing he could swallow Fang Longye alive.

"Hulu Mountain Mountain God, I didn't expect you to actually split off a thought to hide in the depths of the pangolin's sea of consciousness, secretly guiding its thoughts.

I suppose the old man in the cave is also your avatar, right? Why not just refine this pangolin into your puppet avatar? Going to such great lengths~"

"Hmph! You little demon, you are quite sharp. But do you think that just because you've promoted to a Loose Immortal, you can be complacent? After all, your cultivation is shallow; how would you know the difficulty of creating an avatar?" The phantom transformed by the mountain spirit's thought remained as furious as ever.

"Mountain Spirit, you are deliberately releasing the Snake and Scorpion Demons, indulging the pangolin in reporting to them, and cultivating a Human Clan avatar to act out a play with them."

"Just now, you were secretly guiding the Pangolin from within its heart, prompting it to develop the intention to rescue that Human Race incarnation of yours and the Huluwa. Going to such great lengths, I fear it isn't just to eliminate those two demon immortals, is it?" Fang Longye asked with a continuous smile.

The Mountain Spirit's thought knew it could not escape, so it simply remained silent.

"Let me think, the seven Huluwa can be refined into a Seven-Heart Pill. Could it be that you want the snipe and the clam to fight so the fisherman can profit, using the hands of the Snake and Scorpion Demons to refine the seven Huluwa into a pill?"

The Mountain Spirit's expression tightened, then it regained its composure and said coldly, "You little demon are quite clever, piecing together my intentions from a few details. But even if you know my scheme, it doesn't matter. This deity still has the power of the seven Huluwa, which far exceeds what you, a little demon, can imagine."

"Even if this thought of mine is destroyed, it is of no consequence. But if you, little demon, were to fall into the hands of this deity, I would surely suppress you for a thousand or ten thousand years, burning and refining you with heavenly fire day and night, making you unable to seek life or death!"

Having said that, it immediately destroyed its own thought, and the golden light dissipated.

Fang Longye withdrew his divine ability and took out that strange treasure, the Jade Pendant, putting it into his pocket. He cast aside the Pangolin, which had become a pile of mush, and secretly pondered his next plan.

As for the Pangolin, which died because the two fought within its sea of consciousness, Fang Longye could only offer an apology.

Besides, being a spy, or a double agent, there would be a day like this sooner or later.
