The Sea Race's Hidden Agents (Revision Complete)
(The chapters have been successfully corrected to the correct order, so everyone can read them normally now ᕕ ( ᐛ ) ᕗ)
The Dragon King needs to make some arrangements to divert the disaster to the city where traitors are concentrated.
Ultimately, it was the Human Race army's command that decided which city to attack.
This matter is both difficult and quite simple.
Just like the Lou Family in Yin City, the Sea Race have also supported many undercover agents among the land-based species over the years.
Unlike Human Race, the Sea Race do not infiltrate their controlled clans into the enemy's ranks.
Just like the branch of the Yan Family to which Yan Fei belongs.
They went to the capital of the Sea Race decades ago, and this undercover operation has lasted for several generations.
Sea Race possess more unique and efficient methods of control.
They excel at controlling situations using a layered, onion-like approach.
For example, the Lou Family is a family controlled by the Second Research Institute under the Sea Race, which uses a specific Human Race as a transit point.
This method allowed the Sea Race to manipulate everything behind the scenes, while the Lou Family became puppets of their puppets.
This is why, when the officials of Yin City noticed the Lou Family's unusual behavior, although they successfully took control of the Lou Family, they were unable to find any evidence against the Sea Race.
This is because the real evidence pointing directly to the Sea Race, as well as the Human Race that acted as a transit point, have been cleverly destroyed by the Sea Race.
Admittedly, this method of planting informants through transit stations carries certain risks.
In other words, once the transfer station is discovered, a series of hidden stakes downstream may become ineffective.
However, the advantage of this method is also very obvious: it is safe and discreet enough.
Some of the lowest-ranking informants were completely unaware, even until their last breath, that they were actually informants providing intelligence to the Sea Race.
They simply take a stroll in the park every day, as usual.
Or they might casually chat about the gossip surrounding the neighborhood, or just catch up on everyday life.
Then, this information was compiled and reported.
They never realized that this seemingly ordinary action was, in essence, a form of espionage.
From ordinary peddlers to high-ranking officials and their relatives and friends, all of them had, to varying degrees, spies of the Sea Race.
It only requires adding a few trivial tasks to your daily routine.
Examples include mentioning specific cities in casual conversations or using images from specific cities in brochures distributed in support of the war.
This allows them to subtly influence the Human Race who truly have decision-making power without being noticed.
However, this little trick could fool the Human Race high command and the Human Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm, who had no time to care about the lower classes.
However, it could not escape the keen perception of the Shisui and the Banshee Sea Demon.
In order to gather resentment, the two frequently visited places such as battlefields, ruins, cemeteries, and slums.
Putting aside the fact that vengeful spirits are inherently quite sensitive to emotional fluctuations.
Shisui's insight alone was enough to notice the frequent appearance of specific Sea Race cities in the recent propaganda supporting foreign wars.
Furthermore, the current Crown Prince of the Sea Race is already under Shisui's control.
With the Crown Prince's ridiculously high level of authority, a simple investigation would reveal the truth.
Are you planning to let this continue?
To avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions, Wraith Species will rest for a short period of time.
During this brief moment of absorbing resentment, he casually asked a question.
Shisui responded just as casually.
"Continuing this won't do us any harm, will it? So there's no need to stop it."
The black mist surrounding the Banshee Sea Demon rippled slightly.
Shisui knew that the Death Herald's self still influenced the soul of the Banshee Sea Demon.
Therefore, he felt sad for the civilians who were affected by this.
However, the nature of vengeful spirits and the Sea Demon Species' obsession with revenge still hold absolute sway.
Shisui doubted that he truly had no idea what his sudden, agonizing resistance to the destruction of the city meant.
However, Shisui had no obligation to remind him.
Maintaining this psychological state of the vengeful spirit is entirely beneficial to him, so there is no need to change it.
"Um."
As expected, upon hearing the Banshee Sea Demon's soft reply, Shisui didn't linger and turned to leave the graveyard where the resentment had thinned.
Next, the Banshee Sea Demon only needs to absorb and digest the resentment from a few more large settlements that have recently been destroyed.
He then stepped out of the Space Wormhole and arrived at Chou City, which was also located in the Kaiyang Continent, just like Zi City.
Let's start here.
Shisui scattered a large number of Radiant Feathers, carrying the poison of [Bone-Deep Rot], which invaded the Chou City now filled with Bound Captive.
Contrary to what he had said when dealing with the vengeful spirits, he genuinely had no need to stop them, but he did have a need to make the Human Race aware of the Sea Race' underhanded actions.
Otherwise, how could he have acted as a bridge between the two sides' Heaven-Controlling Realm experts while simultaneously targeting the Planetary Will?
The inter-racial war will still have to be fought.
But we are all people who have been suppressed by the Planetary Will for at least several decades.
Now that they have the opportunity to turn against the Planetary Will, no one would be willing to refuse.
At this moment, in the Chou City of the Kaiyang Continent.
Since the Yinling Sect was completely incorporated into the Human Race high command as the Bound Captive, all the sects and forces have become more subdued.
As it turns out, making an example of someone can be quite effective, as long as the victim suffers enough.
Unlike these sects and forces that live in constant fear, the Yinling Sect, which has become a "regular army," is much more carefree.
Well, to be honest, they're just giving up.
They've already signed a contract of servitude, what else can they do but make do?
This led to the Yinling Sect's Bound Captive were temporarily without missions, spending their days indulging in debauchery within the city.
They gained immediate happiness, and the Chou City economy was also significantly boosted.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
"Boss, a small stir-fry, and two ounces of white wine, please."
A middle-aged man lifted the curtain and stepped into the somewhat old shop on the street corner.
He was dressed in a white robe embroidered with silver threads and water patterns, clearly a core member of the Yinling Sect, making him somewhat out of place in the small shop.
"Alright! Please come in, I'll bring it up for you in a bit!"
The shop owner didn't come out of the kitchen, but seemed to already know who the visitor was.
Clearly, this middle-aged man is a regular here.
The middle-aged man responded with a "Okay" and walked towards his usual seat.
The shop was on the second floor, and his usual spot was by the window, offering a perfect view of the people coming and going below.
The familiar smells of cooking and the sounds of vendors coming from all around him effectively dispelled the chill in his heart.
However, today, when he looked out the window as usual, the "scenery" he noticed had changed.
Amidst the shouts that came and went, he could clearly hear conversations about Sea Race.
In the hands of the newsboys distributing the morning paper was also a stack of leaflets about Sea Race cities and propaganda about wars against foreign powers.
He belatedly realized that there was an excessive amount of repetitive information about Sea Race.
As his mind raced, a Radiant Feathers silently emerged from the hem of his clothes and flew away from the spot.
