Xiao Leng's Musings

Because they hadn't slept for a long time, the martial practitioners from various major sects in the city were already exhausted.

However, with the appearance of the Nightmare Sacrificial Formation, they had no choice but to drag their weary bodies to confront the hidden enemies.

Most of the martial practitioners, however, underestimated the strength of the Night Organization members who had been enticed by the dagger.

"Ahhh!!! Help me, Elder!!!"

A young disciple from a prominent family was crying and wailing on the ground, reaching out his hand, pleading for help from the Elder who was far away and looked shocked and heartbroken.

Behind him, members of the Heavenly Demon Sect disguised as others closed in step by step, their eyes gleaming with the ferocity of beasts. As the formation appeared, these lunatics launched an all-out assault on the martial practitioners from various sects, turning the stormy night into a nightmare for every martial practitioner.

With a flash of sword light, the young disciple pleading for help was annihilated.

The Elder of the prominent family was heartbroken. He roared at the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect imposter, "Mo Yan, you are inhuman!! How could you have sunk so low as to collude with the Night Organization?!!”

Mo Yan was none other than the protector of Mo Tianyun, the Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Hearing this, he sneered coldly, "This world is inherently a place of the survival of the fittest."

"Adapt or die, old fool, adapt or die."

"Ordinary cultivation can no longer advance our powers."

"Only the strength of the Great Lord can allow us to breakthrough again! To gain longevity!"

"And all of you! Will become the Great Lord's nourishment! And stepping stones for our growth!"

Having said that, Mo Yan's face twisted with fury as he charged at the Elder. "Die! Remember to pick the right side next life!!!"

The Elder was overwhelmed with despair, having already exhausted his strength and cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have stood by helplessly while his young master was annihilated.

However, the next moment.

"Hmph!!!"

"You evil demon, do not be so arrogant!!!"

A cold hum came, followed by a figure standing before the Elder, punching out towards the incoming Mo Yan.

Boom!!!

The two punches collided, generating a massive energy wave.

Crack! Crackle!

The ground was shattered, forming spiderweb cracks between the two.

Dust filled the air.

Mo Yan winced, pulling back his fist and swiftly retreating, then roaring into the dust, "Who dares?!?!"

The Elder wanted to know too, so he looked up.

And standing before him...

"Old Gao!!!!"

"And Gu Yan, the young master of the Gu Family?!?!"

"You!!!"

The Elder shouted in utter delight.

Indeed, the ones standing before the Elder were Gu Yan and Old Gao's Zhua Zhua clone bodies.

The consciousness controlling them belonged to Gu Yan.

It can be understood as Gu Yan, from afar, remotely controlling his and Old Gao's puppet bodies through Zhua Zhua as a medium.

The next moment.

Gu Yan nodded to the Elder, then took out a communication device, "That's right, it's us. We received your distress signal."

"But unfortunately..."

Gu Yan's expression, upon seeing the sea of corpses, became filled with intense anger and regret: "If only we had come sooner..."

The Elder quickly shook his head and thanked him, "No, no, no!!! Young Master Gu, you mustn't blame yourself!! My name is Jiang Yiqi! Right now, the most pressing matter is to deal with Mo Yan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who colluded with the Night Organization!"

On the surface, Gu Yan still looked guilty. He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming resolute. Then, he looked at Mo Yan, who had a gloomy expression, and roared, "You evil demon, you deserve to die!!!"

"Old Gao! Kill this evil cultivator!!!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Old Gao's puppet also acted out suppressed fury, charging towards Mo Yan like a madman.

The latter seemed to be provoked, bursting with demonic energy: "You want to kill me? With just the two of you?! Perfect timing! Killing you two will grant me part of that power to boost my cultivation!!!"

Boom!

Old Gao and Mo Yan clashed.

Within moments, Old Gao's puppet feigned shock: "You've reached the rank of a grandmaster?!!"

"You truly are practicing evil techniques?!!"

Elder Jiang Yiqi, upon hearing, also exclaimed in shock: "Old Gao! Heavenly Demon Sect is associated with the Night Organization! They are cultivating using souls! It could also be that the Night King directly bestowed them strength!"

"Old Gao! We must end this quickly! We cannot allow them to grow stronger again!"

"Alright! Thanks for the reminder!"

With that, Old Gao continued to engage Mo Yan in battle.

While far away on another tallest skyscraper.

The real 【Night King Limited Edition Gu Yan】 was using Zhua Zhua to control the puppet Gu Yan and the puppet Old Gao.

"Hehehe~~~ Controlling puppets is quite fun, no wonder Western Nation has a branch of puppeteer warriors."

Gu Yan chuckled evilly, then asked, "Hahaha, Old Gao, let's play around with your puppet body together, shall we? Making it look realistic and not hurt takes real skill."

"........No thanks, Young Master. And, when do we need to take action?"

Hearing this,

Gu Yan looked at Old Gao and revealed a cryptic smile: "When..... our protagonist triggers a power up."

Another new term.....

Old Gao remained silent.

At that moment, Gu Yan seemed to sense something, suddenly looking down at the base of the skyscraper, but found nothing.

Is it just my imagination......

Gu Yan shook his head with a chuckle, how absurd, could he be thinking that Qingqiu might have been watching him earlier.

She should be fast asleep at home, right?

However,

Gu Yan didn't know that,

at the base of the skyscraper where he was.

A cold figure slowly emerged from the shadows, looking up at the person in the skyscraper who almost noticed her.

Her eyes revealed a hint of indifference,

Hum!

A dagger appeared in her white palm.

She grasped it tightly, and a black aura began to radiate from the blade.

After contemplating for a while, Xiaoleng gave up the thought in her head.

Then, she muttered softly, "No, even though claiming the blood from the heart right now can help release the seal of the other me."

"But... the furnace hasn't been squeezed dry yet, if I keep enhancing perceptual power to the critical point, and then undo the seal, then I and the other me will only become stronger."

"Hmm.... the furnace can't die."

With that in mind, Xiaoleng returned the dagger and revealed a pondering expression in her cold eyes.

While the other me is awake during the day, I can't take over the body.

But when she falls asleep, I can step in.

.........Previously, I didn't take action because the other me rarely slept almost 24/7 studying and upgrading.

But now...... the other me's sleeping time is getting longer and longer, wasting too much time on sleep, the efficiency is far too low.

I had to take initiative and do some research into modern knowledge to understand the world myself.

Moreover....... While the furnace can cultivate with the other me during the day, the night time shouldn't be wasted too.

What surprised me even more was that the fake Night turned out to be the work of this furnace.....

If the other me found out about this, it might affect the relationship between the two.

This would disrupt squeezing the furnace dry, so for now, this secret can't be shared.

However,

After she has thoroughly squeezed the furnace dry, then this matter can be laid out.

By then, even if she wants the furnace to be carved out, it won't matter.

The other me, my intention wasn't to intervene originally.

But leaving nights empty is far too wasteful, seems a good time for me to step in and do something more meaningful and efficient with that time.

Hmm... I've studied the other me's dating lessons for a while now, plus gathered a bunch of information online.

It's time to put plans into action, as long as we can await just the right timing.....

Xiaoleng's eyes revealed something mysterious.

Her form transformed into a black phantom, then vanished into the night.
