Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Spies, Myriad Manifestations Clone
"They really do love courting death."
Chu Xuan looked up at the sky, a brilliant smile on his face.
Those old scheming bastards in the Divine Realm were definitely watching him.
He raised his middle finger in a thumbs-up, giving them a little response.
He had long known those guys wouldn't give up and would surely try every trick they could think of to undo the binding.
Unfortunately for them, unless he gave his permission, the binding granted by the system's choice could never be undone.
Even leaving the Divine Realm wouldn't undo it.
And even if someone ascended to the Divine Realm later, they would automatically be added to the binding sequence.
Simply put, the Divine Realm was locked down tight.
Any powerhouse who became a god would ultimately be bound to him.
The Five Great God Kings saw what Chu Xuan did, and the God of Evil nearly exploded with rage.
"I'm going down there to kill him! Kill him!"
His eyes had gone completely red.
The God of Destruction chuckled. "I don't know if you can kill him, but I do know he can kill us."
"Are you ready for a group funeral? No, wait. If we're all dead, there'll be no one to hold a funeral for us."
The God of Evil: "..."
Why had his eyes turned on like faucets?
The Goddess of Life sighed softly. "Don't cry. There are plenty of days ahead of us."
The God of Evil's nose tingled. Why did that make him feel even more like crying?
When would these days ever end?
On a street in Spirit City, Chu Xuan looked around, hoping to trigger some system choices.
System choices were the key to improving quickly.
The conventional cultivation methods used by Soul Masters didn't suit him.
Others might cultivate hard for more than half a year and still gain less Soul Power than he did from a single choice.
His Soul Power was now at level thirty-nine. Should he make a trip to Suotuo City?
According to the timeline, Tang San and the others should be about to join Shrek Academy.
They were the protagonist's party, after all, so they were bound to trigger more choices.
Wouldn't his cultivation shoot up like a rocket then?
As he was thinking this, the system notification rang out again.
[Ding! God-Level Choice triggered. Please select one option!] [Option one: Ignore the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan spies. Reward: Soul Power Level +1!] [Option two: Walk up to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan spies, cover your eyes and walk past them while shouting, "I didn't see anything!" Reward: Playing Deaf and Dumb title!] [Option three: Capture the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan spies and take them back to the Spirit Hall temple. Rewards: Soul Power Level +1, 100,000-Year Myriad Manifestations Torso Bone!] [Note: The spies have been marked.]
One look at the choices told Chu Xuan what was going on.
The Spirit Hall's announcements had probably aroused the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's suspicions, so they had come to Spirit City to gather information.
Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had sent people out, had the other Soul Master factions, or even the empires, also begun to act?
That was entirely possible!
The Spirit Hall's two announcements had come suddenly, and the God Child's identity remained a mystery.
Everyone wanted to get to the bottom of it. Everyone wanted to know what the Spirit Hall was planning.
It was hardly surprising that they had sent spies.
At present, basically only the people of the Worship Hall, Pope Hall and Elder Hall knew his identity.
Their loyalty was commendable, and they were unlikely to leak information.
So his identity remained perfectly hidden.
Any spies who came would only leave empty-handed.
But now he thought of something.
Spies from so many factions had come, and the system was even triggering choices.
Wasn't this his opportunity?
If he wandered around, he would be very likely to trigger a choice whenever he encountered a spy.
Once he had finished thinking it over, a red line appeared before his eyes.
It stretched toward two pedestrians on the street a hundred meters ahead.
They looked perfectly ordinary, like visitors who had come to tour Spirit City.
But the system's markings were perfectly clear: they were Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan spies.
Above their heads were the words "SPY" in large red letters, with the faction they belonged to written underneath.
The system was really thoughtful!
Now that he had found them, it was time to prepare to take them down.
He strolled forward at a leisurely pace.
There were too many people on the street, so it wasn't a good time to make a move.
He would wait until there were fewer people, or until the night was dark and the wind was high, then take them down in one go!
On a rooftop behind him, Elder Huo Ling watched Chu Xuan while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
"What is the God Child doing?"
She had been sent to protect the God Child.
To her, it was an honor. She felt no resentment whatsoever.
He was someone even the gods had to fawn over, and he was certain to become a god in the future.
As the God Child's protector, she shared in the glory.
Following Chu Xuan's gaze, she watched everyone carefully.
But she didn't notice anything.
Chu Xuan wandered the streets for a long time, entering a hotel as the sun sank in the west.
In a hotel room, the two spies put on masks.
"We haven't noticed anything unusual all day. We'll have to look elsewhere."
Yu Shuyin spoke softly.
As a spy sent out by the clan, Yu Shuyin had already reached the Soul King realm.
Speed and intelligence gathering were Yu Shuyin's greatest strengths.
Yu Shuyin had a wealth of experience.
Yu Shuhua said calmly, "Investigating won't be that easy. The Spirit Hall must have hidden things well. We'd be lucky to find anything in ten days or half a month."
Yu Shuyin nodded. That made sense.
The Spirit Hall hadn't revealed the God Child's identity, so it would naturally take other steps to conceal it.
Such a vast Soul Master faction had plenty of methods at its disposal.
Even though they were skilled at gathering intelligence, it would take them quite some time to complete their task.
"Well, well, you two are having a chat?"
Just as they were discussing where to investigate more thoroughly, a voice suddenly rang out beside their ears.
"Who's there?"
The two reacted quickly, immediately splitting to the left and right as they summoned their Martial Souls.
Both had Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Souls. On the left and right, five Soul Rings rose around each of them.
"Pretty alert, aren't you? But... Myriad Manifestations Clone!"
Chu Xuan's voice rang out, and a golden dragon and a white tiger appeared in the room.
The golden dragon and white tiger pounced on the two spies, one each.
Chu Xuan's first Soul Skill, Myriad Manifestations Clone, could create five clones.
The clones could freely change form.
After transforming, each clone would gain the power of the corresponding attributes.
The clones possessed seventy percent of the original's strength.
As his level rose, both their strength and their number would increase.
The appearance of the golden dragon and white tiger startled the two spies.
Could their enemy have a Beast Martial Soul and already be a Soul Saint, capable of using Martial Soul Avatar?
Otherwise, there was simply no explaining the golden dragon and white tiger.
In that moment of hesitation, the golden dragon had already coiled around Yu Shuyin and opened its jaws.
Golden dragon flame blasted down at Yu Shuyin's head.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Shuyin had passed out.
The white tiger, meanwhile, pounced on Yu Shuhua.
Its paw came crashing down with such tremendous force that it even shattered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon projection behind Yu Shuhua.
The blow struck Yu Shuhua in the chest. Yu Shuhua spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
Only after confirming that both were unconscious did Chu Xuan's figure emerge from space.
His second Soul Skill, Void.
By turning into void, he could become immune to any damage and ignore any space, barrier, and so on.
"That's it?"
Chu Xuan shook his head. Apparently, they couldn't take much of a beating.
His first Soul Skill alone had taken them both down.
Sure enough, his strength as a Soul Elder was still far beyond the norm.
Even Soul Kings would have to kneel and sing "Conquest."
