MTLNOVEL Chapter 11: Infiltration!
The visitor seemed momentarily stunned, slightly raising his eyes as if to observe Chen Yi's expression. Without waiting for a closer look, he hurriedly bowed and said:
"Reporting to you, I am indeed a Flag Soldier from White Emperor City."
Chen Yi made a soft sound, his eyes fixed on him.
With a thought, [Deceiving Mask] powers dispersed, a barely noticeable crystal shimmer flashed past his eyes.
[You use the "Deceiving Mask" to see through the Divine Will Incarnation of a Divine Power Fifth Realm great power, penetrating the physical body formed by Skin Painting Divine Power, reward: Reversal Points +2.]
[Note: Skin Painting Divine Power, integrated with Bone Demon bloodline divine skills and evolves the four polar evil qi of heaven, earth, yin, and yang, can draw bones and paint skin, creating the appearance, cultivation technique, and skills of the subject, cultivating to a profound level truly indistinguishable from the real.]
[As your reversal task is not yet completed, the acquired Reversal Points convert into cultivation.]
The Bone Demon's bloodline divine skills: Skin Painting...
Chen Yi discerned his true nature, recalling "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai, one of the Twelve Pillars of the Demon Court, whose divine skill was its innate bloodline.
Unexpectedly, in this Taizhou Mountain Demon Court, there was a Bone Demon with a higher realm than it—the Skin Painting Divine Power used on Divine Will Incarnations is indeed indefensible for the Human Race here.
"Master, if you have no other orders, I shall return to the General Mansion to report first."
The Flag Soldier saw Chen Yi did not speak, his mind rapidly turning, secretly wondering if he had been seen through.
Impossible.
Although the person before him was quite famed on Tianyuan Continent, he was just a sword cultivator, how could he have cultivated divine techniques that could see through its true form?
Chen Yi heard and nodded, saying: "Go ahead, convey my regards to Daoist Yu Chun."
"Yes!"
The Flag Soldier relaxed inwardly, secretly scoffing that the so-called "Little Sword Immortal" was nothing special, and immediately turned to leave the room.
Heading all the way to the General Mansion in the city.
Under Chen Yi's Heart God Perception, following him past, soon blocked by the array outside the General Mansion, cutting off his Sword Intent.
He slightly tilted his head, looking through the curtain toward the faraway General Mansion, his thoughts pondering.
"No wonder Gu Zhuo and others previously only found two suspicious entries, all because the Demon Court hides such secretive and unpredictable divine skills of Great Demon Kings."
Yet they seem quite fixated on Flag Soldiers, as the previous entry from Human Pole Strong City to White Emperor City was also a Flag Soldier.
This time, the token sent to him was again by a Flag Soldier...
There must be a scheme by the Demon Court!
After pondering briefly.
Chen Yi waved to envelop the room with Sword Intent, blocking other great powers' perceptions, then released the imprisoned tiger demon.
"Master."
Upon appearing, the tiger demon immediately sensed the room's narrowness, quickly using sorcery to shrink its size, and crouched fawningly, saying: "You looking for Xiao Fu?"
Today could be said to be the most comfortable day since it gained sentience.
No need to patrol, worry about punishment from several Great Kings, or wander searching for Human Race scouts to battle.
And it earned some Great Demon Blood Cores, all for betraying some Demon Court intelligence.
This kind of life was simply too comfortable.
"Hmm," Chen Yi glanced at it, his Heart God Perception still focused outside the General Mansion, asking:
"Do you know of a Great Demon King level Bone Demon within the Demon Court possessing Skin Painting Divine Power?"
The tiger demon dared not slack off, carefully recalled.
"Master, the mountain stronghold Xiao Fu resides in does not have the Bone Demon you speak of. However, Xiao Fu once saw several Great Bone Demon Kings from other strongholds, though whether they possess Skin Painting Divine Power, Xiao Fu does not know."
"Also responsible for defending against Human Pole Strong City stronghold?" Chen Yi asked.
"Three of them indeed, once came to Xiao Fu's stronghold to meet with Great King Lu Chen for some discussion, while the other two are responsible for besieging Sky Dome Strong City, about which Xiao Fu has no information."
"Do you know their cultivation?"
"Unknown..." The tiger demon showed an awkward smile, "Xiao Fu's cultivation is too low, hasn't awakened bloodline divine skills yet, thus knows little."
Chen Yi wasn't disappointed, casually rewarding a Demon King Blood Core, instructing: "Continue cultivating back home."
Finished speaking, without waiting for the tiger demon's response, he returned it to the Thousand Mechanism Tower.
The room quieted down.
Chen Yi contemplated as he came to the window, gazing at the distant General Mansion, "The Flag Holding Order is responsible for relaying orders to command the soldiers during the Demon Court attacks."
"If there is a Demon Court layout within, gradually infiltrating Flag Soldiers, they can gain an advantage in the war."
"Firstly, they can learn the Human Race's strategy and plans beforehand, allowing them to entrench or defend in advance, causing Human Race casualties."
"Secondly, they can meddle in delivering erroneous instructions to soldiers, guiding them into the demons' trap, etc."
"But such schemes evidently cannot be used frequently, otherwise, they surely would attract the Human Race's vigilance or they would investigate."
"Thus, a plan like this, usable only once, they will surely employ in the most crucial battles!"
Causing significant casualties to the Human Race, while sowing confusion during subsequent investigations for traitors, stirring fear in people's hearts, reaping greater achievements.
This scheme, killing three birds with one stone, undoubtedly sinister!
Thinking this, Chen Yi's eyes brimmed with latent murderous intent, "It seems my arrival at Taizhou Mountain will soon be known by the Demon Court."
According to his deduction, after such prolonged plotting arrangements, those Bone Demons have already infiltrated many Human Race garrisons, perhaps even within the three strong cities, hiding their Divine Will Incarnations.
Thus his arrival at Taizhou Mountain, under the transmission of such pervasive demon scouts, for the demon knew it is merely a matter of time.
