A Strike That Pierced Across the Distance!

Black-Yellow Sect.

Lin Ye received information from his disciple Dongfang Bai, but this time there was no reward for the information, as the long-term mission of the Supreme Simplicity Sect had ended.

"A woman born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour—could this be an order from the royal family? Could it be that the Golden Core True Person of the Divine Paper Sect is about to use some Evil Method to find me?"

Lin Ye decided to take action. If the other party successfully found him and reported his identity and the location of the Black-Yellow Sect to the Divine Paper Sect, then what awaited him was the Divine Paper Sect's revenge.

Although he is powerful now, he dares not say that he can contend with the entire Divine Paper Sect. The Divine Paper Sect may have experts who are stronger than the Golden Core Realm.

"The previous one from the Divine Paper Sect self-destructed, leaving no body behind. This time, we won't give them the chance to self-destruct. After killing them, we'll use a Soul-Searching Talisman to steal their memories."

To seize the memories of a Golden Core True Person, one must use a Spirit Treasure- grade Soul-Searching Talisman, which is not cheap, costing 20,000 Devil Dao Points, but it is well worth it.

However, he didn't know much about his opponent's true strength. To ensure he could kill him, he exchanged for another Spirit Treasure — the Eight Sha Heavenly Devil Spear, which consisted of eight short spears that could be combined to unleash a terrifying attack. It could perfectly complement his advanced Demonic Shadow Ten Arms Technique.

"The next step is to lure that Golden Core True Person out of the royal family, and even out of Bianjing."

He didn't want to take action in Bianjing, otherwise many innocent people would be harmed.

The Chu Kingdom palace of the Chu Kingdom.

Upon receiving the news, the Chu Emperor immediately informed Qu Ce.

"Senior, I have already sent people to find some women born in the year, month, and hour of the Yin (a concept in Chinese astrology), and we were about to bring them back to Bianjing, but they were rescued by a man in black."

The Chu Emperor said in a panic.

"They rescued them?" Qu Ce wasn't angry; instead, he was excited. "Sure enough, they were watching closely. It seems they were scared. Good. Now that you've rescued those women, it'll be easier for you to be exposed."

Immediately afterward, Qu Ce left Bianjing to check on the place where the group of women had been rescued.

Not long after.

Qu Ce arrived here, but suddenly sensed something was wrong, and immediately became terrified, as if death was about to befall him.

Far away.

Lin Ye stood on a high slope, and his body began to change, with eight arms appearing on his body. This was the Great Perfection of the Demonic Shadow Ten Arms Technique.

He also grasped the eight Eight Sha Heavenly Devil Spear with his eight arms, combining them with his terrifying physique forged from various Body Refining techniques, and the power and skill of the Demonic Shadow Ten Arms Technique, and unleashed an attack towards the location where Qu Ce was.

Call out!

The Eight Sha Heavenly Devil Spear converged into one, seemingly tearing through space and piercing through distance in an instant.

Qu Ce had no time to dodge. The Great Perfection Realm Demonic Shadow Ten Arms Technique, combined with the physical body of Martial Saint- level body cultivator and the piercing sharpness of Spirit Treasure Eight Sha Heavenly Devil Spear, locked onto him. He only had time to activate the Core Qi in his body and let it flow into his clothes.

This is no ordinary clothing; it is the Ten Thousand Paper Robe, formed by the superposition and fusion of ten thousand paper figures. It is a Spirit Treasure belonging to the Divine Paper Sect, and its interior also contains numerous spaces. The densely packed paper figures are now superimposed together, forming an indestructible defensive paper wall.

"Even a mere Martial Saint, no matter how terrifying, could not possibly kill me instantly!"

Qu Ce's expression twisted as he roared.

However, the Eight Sha Heavenly Devil Spear pierced through, instantly piercing through countless paper figures, making them as fragile as paper, easily dismantling his current situation.

The Great Grandmaster- level paper dolls, the Grandmaster- level paper dolls, and the Martial Saint- level paper dolls could not withstand the attack. Even the last Golden Core -level paper doll was pierced through by a single blow. The terrifying attack also broke through the inner armor on his body and the Golden Core protected by the inner armor.

Puff!

Qu Ce's body was pierced, his Golden Core was shattered, and he began to lose consciousness.

At that moment, he finally understood the terror of that enemy, a threat he was not capable of dealing with.

"A top-tier Golden Core True Person masquerading as a Martial Saint —shameful indeed!"

Before losing consciousness, Qu Ce roared in his sea of consciousness.

Call out!

Lin Ye approached the deceased Qu Ce, took out a soul-searching talisman, and placed it on Qu Ce's memories. As long as the person hadn't been dead for long, and the soul had only shattered but hadn't yet left the sea of consciousness, useful information could naturally be obtained.

Soon, the Soul Searching Talisman read all the memories, and Lin Ye began to search through these memories. He deleted the memories of his past life and cultivation, and only searched for the memories about the Divine Paper Sect and how to track him.

"The Profound Yin Soul-Locking Paper Formation, so there's such an array."

Subsequently, he found the broken Talisman Seed in Qu Fu's spatial ring. This was Qu Fu's Talisman Seed. The Divine Paper Sect had actually read the memories of that battle from Qu Fu's Talisman Seed, and could also find him by using the Talisman Seed in conjunction with the Profound Yin Soul-Locking Paper Formation.

However, all he needs to do is destroy this broken Talisman Seed, and the Divine Paper Sect will be unable to find him.

As for Qu Ce, whom he killed, he was not Talisman Seed, so the Divine Paper Sect couldn't do anything about it.

The Talisman Seed is a very important thing for the Divine Paper Sect. It is very troublesome to refine and requires a special physique and talent to fuse with the Talisman Seed and become one of the Talisman Seed cultivators of the Divine Paper Sect. The Divine Paper Sect has twelve such Talisman Seed cultivators. Among them, Qu Ce's cultivation level is the lowest, while the highest cultivation level has broken through to the Golden Core stage.

When a cultivator of the Talisman Seed reaches the final stage of cultivation, they can completely merge with the Talisman Seed and also merge with many paper figures, becoming a paper figure in its entirety. At that point, they are practically immortal. Even if their physical body is pierced, as long as there are still fragments of paper figures, they can recover. There is only one Talisman Seed cultivator in the Divine Paper Sect who has reached this stage, and that is one of the three patriarchs of the Divine Paper Sect.

"A cultivator at the Golden Body Realm, surpassing even the Golden Core stage, possesses an immortal body. Killing such a person is extremely difficult; the long-term task of destroying the Divine Paper Sect is no easy feat!"

According to the other party's memory, the Divine Paper Sect had three Golden Body Realm cultivators, thirty-seven Golden Core Realm elders, and numerous Martial Saint- level disciples.

In terms of foundation, the Spirit Puppet Sect is no match for the Divine Paper Sect. It only has a few Golden Core True Person, making it one of the weakest of the Eight Hundred Side Sects. This information comes from Qu Ce's memories.

"This memory is invaluable, but there are too many memories to look at now. I'll look at them slowly later."

He put away the Soul Searching Talisman, took away the useful resources from Qu Ce's body, and destroyed the corpse and other items.

After that, he left.

Black-Yellow Sect.

Lin Ye returned, opened the system, and checked the system notifications.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing Qu Ce, Golden Core True Person Qu Ce from the Divine Paper Sect. Progress in destroying the Divine Paper Sect +1. Reward: 300,000 Devil Dao Points."

Only 300,000 Devil Dao Points?

Lin Ye felt it was a bit too little. He had gained 200,000 Devil Dao Points by killing Qu Fu, a Martial Saint Realm, and some disciples of the Divine Paper Sect, plus 500,000 Devil Dao Points from the city-destroying achievement. But now, killing a Golden Core True Person only yielded 200,000 Devil Dao Points, which was indeed a bit too little.

"Perhaps it's because I disrupted the Divine Paper Sect's plan to research flesh and blood paper figures, and it was also the start of a long-term mission that I gained a lot of Devil Dao Points. But this time, I only killed a Golden Core True Person and didn't do anything else, so I only got 300,000 Devil Dao Points."

Lin Ye felt that if he destroyed one of the branches of the Divine Paper Sect, he would probably gain more Devil Dao Points.
