Chapter 933 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

In the Hell Realm. "The goods recently brought over have exceeded the usual amount by five times, haven't they?" An unidentified Blood Temple Cultivator, wielding a specially made whip, drove the prisoners forward while conversing with a companion. "Yeah, our workload has also increased fivefold, but the rewards we get are still the same, isn't this unpaid overtime..." "Shush, don't mention the word 'unpaid' these days. I heard the captain of the nearby Team Jia Twelve got thrown into the experimental area just for complaining a bit." "Ahem, I'm voluntarily working overtime! My loyalty to the Blood Temple is unswerving, witnessed by heaven and earth!" The environment of the Hell Realm is extremely harsh, with its dirty spiritual energy, dark red sky, and sandy ground. Being assigned a task here is certainly no trifling matter. Members of the Blood Temple dispatched here are, to some extent, being indirectly punished for their faults. Of course, except for those lunatics who never leave the experimental area. After delivering the prisoners to the designated location, the Blood Temple Cultivators didn't look back and went to fetch the next batch. Hundreds of prisoners, ragged and woeful, looked around helplessly, unaware of what the Blood Temple intended to do with them. "It's much simpler than I thought," Ling Hu, disguised among the crowd, whispered. "Sneaking into the Blood Temple stronghold in the Void Realm was much more troublesome than this." "The scope of the Hell Realm is vast, mostly barren," Tang Xin stated assertively. "All the key points lie within the experimental area." After blending in, they did not immediately seek an opportunity to leave. Even though they were aware of the Hell Realm, the specifics and unique aspects of the place were not detailed in the information they had. Even Tang Xin was only aware of the artificial genius project being carried out in the Hell Realm. Acting impulsively with insufficient information was tantamount to seeking death. After a while, roars echoed from the distant sands. The crowd immediately panicked, struggling to escape, but they were chained together and couldn't go anywhere. Whoosh— A sandstorm approached, obscuring everyone's vision, as several shadowy figures rapidly moved through the sand like phantoms. "What is that?" Ling Hu frowned, snapping the chains and readying herself for combat. "Seems like..." Boom! "Aah! Don't kill me! Help, someone help!" Screams surrounded them. The attackers were several young cultivators, both male and female, with realms around the Nascent Soul stage, executing their killings with extraordinary ferocity. Yet, on their faces, one couldn't see any expressions typical of normal humans, as if they were emotionless killing machines from the inside out. "Artificial geniuses." The aura of these people was distinctly different from normal humans. Even if a normal person was trained to cultivate a "killing aura" right from the womb, they wouldn't reach the level of an artificial genius. "Is it the same kind you encountered before?" The Seventh Elder inquired curiously. After the Soul-Eating Worm incident, Tang Xin had also reported her encounter with a "counterfeit self" to the higher echelons of the cultivation world. "Hard to say," the eldest sister shook her head. "The one I encountered could evolve autonomously." While talking, a cold-faced test subject, wielding a treasure sword, charged at them. Tang Xin made no move, and seeing this, Ling Hu combined her fingers and, with a flick, easily sliced the opponent into two. "Impressive, right?" Ling Hu boasted. "Bring on another hundred or eighty, and it won't be a problem!" No sooner had she spoken than the bisected test subject started moving again, crawling onto a nearby corpse. After a brief absorption, it was revived in an instant. "Damn, what a disgusting thing!" After revival, the test subject's strength appeared almost unchanged and was again bisected by the Seventh Elder. What could be seen was that inside the test subject's body, there was no sign of internal organs — only a sticky red substance. "Indeed, it's not the same kind I encountered," Tang Xin observed, then directed, "Don't slice vertically. Try chopping every part of him into pieces and see." "How are you so adaptable?" Following the instructions, Ling Hu's fingers danced in mid-air, and the test subject, not fully healed, was chopped into dozens of pieces, falling to the ground. They attempted to congregate again, but Tang Xin, quick to react, suppressed a semi-transparent orb wrapped in a clump of blood. The moment it was captured, the blood lost its coherence and boiled on the spot, an utterly nauseating sight. "What kind of technology is this?" Ling Hu exclaimed in surprise. "Bloodline techniques," Tang Xin stated solemnly. "In the Void Realm, there exists a secret technique for condensing blood into puppets. However, once condensed, they can't move autonomously, require close-range commands, and aren't nearly as powerful, nor can they regenerate indefinitely." Most importantly, they couldn't assume the appearance of ordinary people or employ the same techniques. Each of these test subjects employed entirely different cultivation methods and secret techniques. "This reminds me of the Soul-Eating Worm's spawning pool," analyzed Ling Hu. "The miraculous water could create Soul-Eating Worms of entirely different appearances." "Yes, the Void Realm's secret techniques, the Soul-Eating Worm's pool water, and now, in this orb, I sensed soul power..." The eldest sister spoke gravely. "The Blood Temple's technology has matured." Facing clones that could even give Tang Xin trouble, and test subjects clearly designed for mass production. Just imagine such an army attacking the continent of Jiuzhou, what kind of disaster would it unleash? This realization made them even more convinced they were in the right place. Who knows what the Blood Temple could have developed in another half a year? Carrying the orb, the two women immediately sped towards the core of the Hell Realm, the experimental area. Although many Blood Temple Cultivators populated the Hell Realm, not all were high-level cultivators. Ling Hu's stealth techniques were more than enough to bypass most people's detection. The spiritual energy here was exceptionally murky, making it difficult to recharge one's strength, so they had to stop occasionally to consume pills, maintaining their optimal condition. Thus, journeying with stops and starts, it took them several days before they finally saw rows of buildings on the barren land. The security level of the experimental area was much higher than the surroundings, with everyone displaying the Blood Temple demonic stamp on their foreheads to prove their identity. 【Main mission activated】 As Tang Xin pondered how to infiltrate, the system attribute bar, which had been silent for a while, appeared before her eyes. 【Locate the position of the seventh Seven Star】 【Mission reward: Strategy Assistant Iv3 will provide assistance, lasting until the seventh Seven Star is rescued or deceased.】 Gee, the mission's gotten so tough that the useless little helper has to show up? Seems extraordinary! 【Strategy Assistant Iv3: I am the latest version; do not compare me with those two incompetents before. Analyzing the situation... Analysis complete. To enter the experimental area, you could have Ling Hu use her sword burrowing technique to tunnel underground.】
