Chapter 692 - 411 Let Him Vent!_2

"But this time, you’re ranked last in the Sword Sect..."

Zhou slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Huyan Blade’s face turned grim.

Everything had been snatched by his duplicate, how could he not be last?

"This time, the Sword Sect is disqualified from resource allocation, as for other punishments... let’s forget about it!"

Although he helped Huyan Blade repair the Ghost Valley Blade.

But even thinking about how he was humiliated by the duplicate made his heart ache. After all, he had been working for Hidden Kill for years. Even if he had no merits, he had still put in much effort.

The most important thing was his unwavering loyalty all this time.

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord!"

"Hmm!"

Zhou nodded slowly, then looked at the duplicate. "As for you, daring beyond measure, your reward is canceled as well!"

"Ah....."

The duplicate immediately wore a bitter expression, quite unwilling.

"Hmph!"

Zhou snorted coldly, then looked at Yuan Qing and Hong Zhisha below, "I’ll leave this to you. Gather all the tree cores and send them to me!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The two responded in unison.

Then Zhou’s spiritual power-condensed phantom gradually dissipated.

"Hmph!"

Huyan Blade cast a cold glance at him, then flew directly downward.

"Phew... it’s over!"

Red Python couldn’t help but sigh in relief. Just now, it seemed the knife energy was about to descend. Thankfully, thankfully!

"Look at how timid you are!"

The duplicate glared at it, feeling exasperated. How could a Demon Beast at the seventh level of the Dao Realm be so timid?

"I was born timid!"

It then shrunk in size, wrapping around his wrist.

"Timid, but clever!"

The duplicate scoffed, thinking this was the most cunning Demon Beast it had ever seen.

"Did my earlier performance have any flaws?"

He asked silently in his heart.

"There shouldn’t have been any; all went well!"

He appeared composed, showed displeasure at losing the reward, all normal reactions.

Then he approached Hong Zhisha, taking out two purple bags from his chest and handed them over.

"You... really have some nerve!"

Hong Zhisha shook his head helplessly.

"Heh heh!"

The duplicate chuckled but promptly asked, "When will I get the Transcendent Stone?"

"Why the rush? The lord has his plans!"

Hong Zhisha gave him a glare.

However, inwardly he sighed. Even obtaining the Transcendent Stone, what could be done!

He then addressed the other sects, "Hand over all the tree cores!"

Besides Huyan Blade, the other seven sects each handed their purple bags to him.

After gathering them all, Hong Zhisha said to Yuan Qing, "I’ll leave this to Brother Yuan."

"Go! Don’t keep the lord waiting!"

Yuan Qing nodded.

"You come with me!"

Hong Zhisha said to the duplicate beside him.

The two became two streaks of light, leaving the island. However, the duplicate returned to Hong Zhisha’s thatched hut.

Inside the thatched hut.

The duplicate let out a long breath of relief.

Facing Zhou just now, though appearing at ease on the surface, even a spiritual power phantom exerted an invisible pressure.

"Whew—"

Calmly, he exhaled.

"With just a wave of the hand, Huyan Blade gave his all but was obliterated, and it was merely a duplicate condensed by spiritual power!"

"How strong must his real self be!"

The duplicate looked serious.

No wonder Hidden Kill survives even under Great Yu’s siege, and lives well.

"Is this the outside world?"

Red Python jumped off his wrist, wandering around with curiosity, looking here, sniffing there.

Born in the Red Blood Realm, it had always stayed in the yulan forest.

The outside world was a blank slate to it.

"The spiritual qi here is different from inside!"

"Feels better here!"

Red Python mumbled incessantly to itself.

"What’s inside there?"

It said as it tried to enter Hong Zhisha’s room.

"If you don’t want to die, don’t go in!"

The duplicate gave it a sidelong glance and said calmly.

"Ah—"

The sudden warning startled Red Python, who immediately retracted its little head, curling up at his feet, "What’s so terrifying in there?"

"Hmm?"

The duplicate looked puzzled. Why did Red Python seem a bit odd after coming out?

Its eyes... looked adorably dumb.

Completely different from its previously cunning demeanor.

"What’s going on?"

The duplicate furrowed his brow, then asked, "Do you notice anything different?"

"Different?"

Red Python looked puzzled, "No, I think it’s nice here! Much better than inside."

"It’s like a newborn baby now!"

At this moment, Hong Zhisha came in and spoke.

"What do you mean, uncle?"

The duplicate asked, puzzled.

"How should I put it?"

Hong Zhisha sat down slowly, then began to explain, "The world inside is broken, so here..."

He pointed at his head, "The development isn’t very complete."

"So after coming out, it needs to adapt again!"

"That’s basically what it means, and that’s also what the lord told me."

The duplicate carefully comprehended his words, then after a moment, asked, "So you’re saying the two worlds are different, and it now needs to adapt to the Eastern Continent after originally being in the Red Blood Realm."

"Is it because the rules are different?"

"Exactly!"

Hong Zhisha immediately nodded, "It’s a matter of rules, I didn’t expect you to think of that, well done."

He nodded continuously, quite satisfied.

"Will it affect its power?"

"Not at all, it only affects the intellect, but it won’t take long to recover, after all, this Red Python isn’t simple, it’s quite intelligent!"

Upon hearing this, the duplicate nodded in relief.

It had taken such great effort to subdue it, and it would be a huge loss if it was wasted.
