The Hidden Race

The latest ranking of God Emperors in Rain Ripple City shows that God Emperor Luo Feng is ranked 33rd.

After all, although the Insect Nest chose to retreat in the face of God Emperor Luo Feng ultimately had no public battles to prove his strength. Ranking 33rd is commensurate with his reputation.

Everyone in Rain Ripple City thought Luo Feng would do something to seize more benefits within the city! But Luo Feng remained low-key and had no intention of competing for interests.

Inside an ordinary cave abode in the Inner City, five Xing Zhe are gathering.

"This Luo Feng forced Elder Sa Luo of the Insect Nest to pay 100 million Primal Chaos Crystal in compensation! His strength is probably no less than that of the Master of Insect Nest."

"One compensation is one hundred million Primal Chaos Crystal."

"For a powerhouse like God Emperor Luo Feng, earning Primal Chaos Crystal is too easy, but for us, it's a matter of risking our lives."

"Last time we went hunting, it took the five of us working together to hunt prey worth more than 9 million Primal Chaos Crystal. We also encountered Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform chasing us, and we barely escaped back."

The five Xing Zhe chatted with sighs.

"Brother Zhang, what brings you to us this time?"

"As mentioned before, we don't plan to hunt for the next ten thousand years."

These Xing Zhe have no clones, so they are always extremely careful when they go out hunting. The slightest mistake could cost them their lives.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here isn't about hunting. It's because of some great news," a lean man said with a laugh. As he laughed, an invisible wave of energy instantly enveloped two of the Xing Zhe present.

This invisible fluctuation is a mental invasion.

The two Xing Zhe were affected were both God Emperor Mid-Stage bloodline Xing Zhe. Their Mind Will was already influenced by their bloodline, and the mental invasion they were experiencing was strange and unpredictable. They felt a large number of confused memories surface, and at this moment, they could not even tell who they were.

In just a few breaths.

The pained expressions on the two Xing Zhe returned to normal.

"Haha, two more bodies have been added." The thin man immediately transmitted his thoughts.

"These Xing Zhe are far inferior to us in terms of spiritual techniques."

"We are born to break free from the Cage. This 'Bewitching Heart Secret Technique' is a natural Secret Method. How can they compare to it?"

Of the five Xing Zhe present, only two Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform were distracted and controlled.

"The leader said there will be an operation soon. He wants us to keep a low profile."

"Don't worry about it! The leader cares about the upper echelons of the tribe. As for us lower-level members... the leader doesn't really care about us anyway. If there's a big operation, we lower-level members are of no use."

"Too."

These two Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform were communicating with each other.

This has always been the case for Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms; they maintain a strict hierarchy.

The leader simply ignored his clansmen who were at the God Emperor Early-Stage level. Even those who were at the God Emperor Mid-Stage level still held relatively low status.

Only those who reach the God Emperor Late-Stage level will be valued by the leader.

"We've killed several Xing Zhe already, and the more we kill, the easier it is to expose our weaknesses. The defense system of Rain Ripple City is very complex, and it even monitors every Xing Zhe. We won't be exposed in the short term, but in the long run, we will be exposed."

"Then let's hunt them down as soon as possible! The more Xing Zhe we hunt down, the more likely we are to break through. Once we break through and our bloodline evolves, even if we lose some clones, we'll still have made a huge profit."

"But if we lose many clones before the bloodline evolves, then it will be a loss."

"Then we'll look for prey."

Immediately, two Xing Zhe left their cave abode and flew leisurely around the city.

Like most Xing Zhe, they flew around the city, visiting some shops without revealing any clues.

Luo Feng is currently in seclusion for cultivation.

Although he did not deliberately pursue the Life-Death Path in the God Emperor Late-Stage, Luo Feng's accumulation was still getting deeper and deeper. Some of his Secret Method, such as the "Undying Blood Sea Body" and the "Imitation Life-Death Eye", have also transformed to a new level.

"Whoosh."

The Imitation Life-Death Eye between Luo Feng's brows is now far more mysterious than before.

The mystery within the secret treasure 'Life-Death Eye' is inherently the mystery of the union of life and death. As Luo Feng comprehended more and more of the essence of the 'union of life and death,' his understanding of the Life-Death Eye naturally deepened.

This Secret Method has become increasingly terrifying.

"Boom." Luo Feng's Imitation Life-Death Eye naturally pierced through the cave abode's array and surveyed the vast Rain Ripple City.

Under Luo Feng's observation, the colorful defensive systems of Rain Ripple City displayed countless secret runes operating in unison. These defensive systems, under the overall control of the city, functioned as a unified whole.

Luo Feng then saw countless Xing Zhe within Rain Ripple City.

Under his long-range observation, the physical bodies of many weak Xing Zhe held no secrets; he could see many mysteries of life. With just a glance, he could see that the cultivation systems, strength, and physical wonders of the vast majority of Xing Zhe could not escape Luo Feng's notice.

As for the most hidden 'soul' protected by the physical body, Luo Feng could not see it very clearly.

In his observation, those sheltered souls were like clusters of blurry light!

"My Imitation Life-Death Eye have advanced to another level, and I can now vaguely see the souls of Xing Zhe." Luo Feng thought to himself. Before this, he was unable to vaguely observe the souls of those Xing Zhe.

Every Xing Zhe takes the most thorough and secure protection for their own soul.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng suddenly saw two of the souls.

Both of those souls harbored insect-like creatures.

"This is--"

Luo Feng recognized it at a glance, "The Bewitching Heart Worm Race?"

There are three known races of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform capable of bypassing the Nine Rivers Holy World Realm's defense system and infiltrating the city: the Soul Devouring Snake Race, the Bewitching Heart Worm Race, and the Void Realm Wanderer Race.

The Soul Devouring Snake Race and the Bewitching Heart Worm Race are numerous and very common.

The Void Realm Wanderer Race extremely rare, appearing only a handful of times in the Nine Rivers Holy World.

"The Bewitching Heart Worm Race is skilled in a Secret Method 'Bewitching Heart'! But with just this one move, those with weak Mind Will are powerless to resist and are directly controlled by their souls." Luo Feng also knew about this race. "The Bewitching Heart Worm itself can be considered the mother worm, which can differentiate into 'daughter worms'. It is said that it can differentiate into up to nineteen daughter worms."

Call.

Luo Feng immediately left the cave abode, his Imitation Life-Death Eye fixed on the two Xing Zhe were being controlled by the Bewitching Heart Worm.

Now that he had discovered the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform that had infiltrated the city, Luo Feng naturally couldn't let it go.

"Even with the many defense systems in Rain Ripple City, it takes some clues to barely find traces of intruders," Luo Feng thought. "My Imitation Life-Death Eye can peer into the souls of Xing Zhe and find their traces... In terms of observation methods, it should be one of the best in Rain Ripple City."

In terms of realm, Luo Feng was already at the highest level in Rain Ripple City.

His Imitation Life-Death Eye Secret Method was developed based on the secret treasure 'Life-Death Eye', and it can now truly be called the best in Rain Ripple City!

"Sister Ying Tang, I have just found some fine wine. Would you like to come to my cave abode and have a taste?" The two Xing Zhe quickly invited their friends, two female Xing Zhe in total.

Both female Xing Zhe readily agreed.

Rain Ripple City has strict laws and regulations, but it is generally quite safe. Gatherings of Xing Zhe at the lower and middle levels are also common.

"Um?"

Luo Feng followed from a distance, his brows slightly furrowed.

"I was hoping to follow these two Xing Zhe to find more 'Bewitching Heart Worm' clones." Luo Feng shook his head slightly. Oh well, he couldn't just stand by and watch those two innocent female Xing Zhe die.

The two Xing Zhe, accompanied by two female cultivators, entered the cave abode together.

The cave abode was protected by an array, which somewhat hindered Luo Feng's observation Imitation Life-Death Eye.

However, the four figures could still be seen through the formation.

However, due to the obstruction of the formation, Luo Feng was unable to 'see' the souls of the four figures.

"Make your move." Luo Feng did not delay. In an instant, his figure transformed into a streak of blood light, forcefully piercing through the formation and entering the cave abode.

The cave abode in Rain Ripple City are all officially rented out. Besides the additional arrangements made by the residents, these cave abode dwellings already possess the most primitive array formations. These primitive array formations... are connected to the entire Rain Ripple City defense system.

Once the cave abode's formation is attacked, the entire defense system of Rain Ripple City will detect it.

"Whoosh." The moment Luo Feng forcefully broke through the formation, the defense system of Rain Ripple City naturally sensed it, and an invisible wave began to envelop this area.

Inside the cave abode.

"I'd like to try what kind of fine wine you've found," the two female cultivators said with a smile.

"I'll make sure you two are satisfied." The two 'Bewitching Heart Worm' Xing Zhe also smiled broadly.

Suddenly--

All four of them sensed a terrifying beam of blood forcefully piercing through the formation, leaving no room for concealment.

"Who dares to make a move within Rain Ripple City? To forcibly break through the cave abode's formation?" The two female cultivators were shocked.

"This is bad." The two Bewitching Heart Worm Xing Zhe knew something was wrong.

But the terrifying blood-red light swept over them in an instant!

The 'Undying Blood Sea Body,' which has evolved to the latest level, is even more terrifying than the Insect Nest of the Master of Insect Nest. In an instant, the two Bewitching Heart Worm Xing Zhe turned into corpses.

"Hmm?" The blood-red light transformed into Luo Feng's figure, Luo Feng held the two Bewitching Heart Worm's offspring in his hand.

"The Bewitching Heart Worm Race?" The two female cultivators beside them were now filled with fear. One was God Emperor Early-Stage Enlightenment Seeker, and the other was God Emperor Mid-Stage bloodline Xing Zhe. Faced with the slightly more powerful Bewitching Heart Worm, they were utterly powerless to resist.

The Bewitching Heart Worm has only one innate Secret Method, 'Bewitching Heart'. If you can withstand it, you can live; if you can't, you will be controlled and die.

"Pfft."

Luo Feng looked at the two Bewitching Heart Worm and instantly crushed them to dust, leaving no trace of life.

Two heart-wrenching screams rang out, yet they could not shake Luo Feng in the slightest.

After killing the two larvae.

The causal relationship between Luo Feng and the two worms behind their 'true identities' has greatly increased.

"Brother Luo Feng, thank you for killing two Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform who had infiltrated Rain Ripple City." A voice came from afar, indicating that Rain Ripple City's defense system had also discovered this.

Luo Feng paid no attention, as he was carefully observing the Imitation Life-Death Eye between his brows.

"I see it." Luo Feng's Imitation Life-Death Eye between his eyebrows only saw two much thicker and clearer causal lines. These two causal lines were connected to each other in the distance, and there were several branches on the two causal lines.

Call!

In an instant, Luo Feng split into nine streaks of blood light, each branching along the causal lines and chasing after different targets.
