Hearing the voice but unable to see anyone, Yu Qian immediately looked around and said with a firm expression,
After thinking it over, I am, after all, a member of the Human Race. How could I help you Monster Race!
The Dragonkin cursed again.
Idiot! I have told you ten thousand times! We are the fucking Dragonkin!
I know, I know. Pig monsters, dog monsters, chicken monsters, you are the dragon-man monsters! Just like how our Human Race has Southern Borderers, Northern Frontiersmen, and Central Plainsmen. Are they not all humans!
Chen Yi was quite speechless at this old geezer.
No wonder he was chosen by the Dragonkin.
Even if they told this guy the Dragonkin's top secrets, he would not be able to make sense of them.
Chen Yi stepped on the Dragonkin and ordered,
Where do the teleportation arrays in this tower lead? Spit it out honestly!
The Dragonkin's spine was much stiffer than Yu Qian's.
Do you think I will tell you? I did not expect the Human Race to have such a freak like you who can directly see soul states! It was my negligence, otherwise how could you have succeeded!
From these words, it could be analyzed.
The Dragonkin actually had a way to completely vanish.
Even a Materialist Warrior would not be able to see them.
But the Qi of Ten Thousand Races could definitely see the racial aura traces they left behind.
No wonder even when the Dragonkin officially made their move, the Human Race's understanding of the enemy was still practically zero.
This racial talent was simply too perfect for infiltration.
Ten Thousand Soul Banner, apply the measures!
When it came to torturing soul bodies, one had to rely on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
But Chen Yi did not hold out much hope. To this day, he had not been able to pry a single piece of useful information out of any Dragonkin's mouth.
Just then, Yu Qian spoke up.
If Senior only wishes to know where these teleportation arrays lead, this junior can help.
Then why did you just say you did not know?
Just now, I thought you wanted to activate these arrays, which I indeed do not know how to do. But I do know how to see where the other end of these arrays is.
Alright, hurry up and tell me how to read them... By the way, what is this Dragonkin's name?
The Dragonkin was definitely guarding against Yu Qian; they would not let him know any important information.
But they would not go so far as to not even tell him a name.
His name is Hu Chacha.
Hu Chacha stomped his feet in anger, but was ruthlessly stomped back down by Chen Yi.
Yu Qian! I really misjudged you! You told me you had grand ambitions! You wanted to rise above others! You said you were an ascetic monk! Where is your iron will?!
Chen Yi sneered.
Come, let me teach you the first lesson of dealing with the Human Race: trust no one.
Ah!!
The furious Hu Chacha was once again sealed into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner by Chen Yi.
Yu Qian gave Chen Yi a brief explanation.
The teleportation array on this first floor actually connected to the Cold Maple Temple.
Looking closely, a part of these bizarre and eccentric patterns was actually an abstract, linear map.
It really is!
With Yu Qian explaining it like this, Chen Yi instantly understood.
Chen Yi's divine sense directly covered every floor, reading all the array patterns and finding the map portions within them.
However, in this seven-story ancient tower, only three floors had Dragonkin teleportation arrays.
But in the simulation, Chen Yi remembered that all seven floors had them.
Thinking about it carefully, he understood.
The timing was wrong.
When his simulated self came in to investigate, it was several years later.
After comparing it with the travel memories in his mind.
Chen Yi confirmed the locations that the other two floors pointed to.
The Dashi Kingdom in the Southern Border, and the Changhai Forest in the Great Wilderness.
Thus, Chen Yi had already grasped the locations of five Dragonman strongholds.
He didn't need their exact coordinates, nor did he need to know if they were above ground or underground, inside a cave or at the bottom of a river.
As long as he reached the corresponding area, the Qi of Ten Thousand Races would guide him to strike the target with absolute precision.
"Still missing one..."
Chen Yi looked at Yu Qian, a gleam of wisdom gradually surfacing in his eyes.
Yu Qian felt his scalp tingle under Chen Yi's gaze. With a heavy thud, he dropped to his knees once again.
"Senior! This junior knows his mistakes!
I shouldn't have cooperated with the demon race and provided them with assistance!
I was just thinking, our human race is currently at the peak of its prosperity, so what kind of waves could the demon race possibly make?
I only pretended to help them in exchange for benefits to make myself and the Chixin Sect stronger. Once they actually made their move, I would have immediately sold them out!"
Good on you, Captain Jia, saving the country through a roundabout path!
Chen Yi patted his shoulder.
"Yes, I could tell at a single glance that Sect Master Yu's heart stands firmly with our human race!"
"Eh... eh?"
Yu Qian couldn't seem to believe what he was hearing.
"Rest assured, I won't hurt you, nor will I tell anyone about what you've done. Just continue with your plan, cooperate with them, and keep helping them build strongholds!
But, once a new stronghold is built, you must notify me immediately!
Otherwise..."
Flames materialized in Chen Yi's right hand. Even from a distance, Yu Qian felt a burning pain searing his face.
"Of course, of course! But how should this junior contact you, Senior?"
"I will come over regularly. You don't need to know how to contact me."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
When Yu Qian looked up, Chen Yi was already gone. He let out a long sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
"To think I actually drew out a Martial King... No, I have to run away immediately!"
Leaving the Chixin Sect, Chen Yi flew high into the sky and surveyed his surroundings.
The Chixin Sect, the Eastern Wasteland's Wave Valley, Western Liang's Cold Maple Temple, the Southern Border's Dashi Kingdom, and the Great Wasteland's Changhai Forest.
Of the five Dragonman strongholds he currently knew about, where should he go first?
Naturally, it had to be the Eastern Wasteland's Wave Valley!
Because this place wasn't far from the Nine Provinces Cauldron, he could conveniently retrieve it along the way.
Thus, Chen Yi first went back home; he needed to bring Da Chun along.
"Buddy, you're still too young."
On the way back, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
"You captured Hu Chacha. That guy was obviously stationed in the Chixin Sect to monitor and contact Yu Qian. With him gone, how could the Dragonman race possibly continue to trust Yu Qian?"
"I know. I reckon just by showing up at the Chixin Sect, I've already alerted the enemy, regardless of whether I laid a hand on Yu Qian or Hu Chacha."
"Is the Dragonman race really that formidable?"
"They are absolutely cautious. But it doesn't matter. If Yu Qian can continue, then let him help me create another stronghold. If he can't, I figure he won't live long anyway, and he'd deserve it."
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner couldn't fully comprehend Chen Yi's logic, unable to figure out what exactly he was scheming.
Actually, even if Yu Qian couldn't produce a sixth stronghold, Chen Yi still had a backup location.
Moreover, he was almost certain that there had to be a Dragonman stronghold at that specific place.
It was just that stirring up trouble there was a bit risky, so it remained his last resort.
Not long after, Chen Yi returned to the Chen Manor.
It was roughly the same as in the simulation.
When Chen Yi suggested to Da Chun that he would take him to the Eastern Wasteland, make him the artifact spirit of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, and awaken the relic.
Da Chun agreed without hesitation.
"Brother Yi, I'll do it!"
"Although you can still maintain your human form after becoming an Artifact Spirit, and you won't have to stay inside the cauldron every day, it... will still be quite different from how things are now. Think it over carefully, Da Chun. I will respect your decision."
"Brother Yi, will the Nine Provinces Cauldron be of help to you?"
"Naturally. It will be a tremendous help."
"Then Da Chun wants to help Brother Yi! Even if it wasn't you, Brother Yi, as long as it is something that helps others, Da Chun is willing to do it!"

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
