Chapter 166: Chapter 162: Have You Ever Been a Demon? Doing Things Haphazardly, Taking Things for Granted! (Double-length Chapter)

And none of this was beyond Su Yuan’s expectations.

It’s obvious that the damn system is trying hard to fix the bug.

The states of the disciples of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation aren’t as expected, right? Then let’s make a physical correction through Su Yuan’s hands.

But can’t you damn well label these skeletons with names?

So many dead people, it’s really hard to find Yunze, Qi Wei, and Jiao Tianrui, okay?

"Expert Xiaosu, what are you doing again?"

Captain Wang cautiously asked:

"Could there be an ambush among these skeletons?"

Su Yuan: "...Ah, yes!"

He said righteously:

"Everyone must be careful and stay away from these skeletons of the disciples of White Bone Observation, I will personally handle them, even if some trap is triggered, I can respond early."

"Besides, there’s no need to feel sorry for these so-called cultural relics, they’re just a bunch of bones that have long been weathered to dust, you can’t take them away."

Having said that, under the admiring gaze of the rescue team, Sword Qi burst from Su Yuan’s fingertips, shattering one exposed skeleton after another.

Even for the remains of disciples from the White Bone Observation that had turned to mere bone ash, Su Yuan had to scatter them!

The system’s kill notifications exploded in his ears like a barrage, and after a while, a notification that Su Yuan found as pleasing as heavenly music sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for killing Yunze!]

[With your Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, you have valiantly slain one at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, you are truly the future great figure of the Demon Dao.]

Don’t just talk about it, wouldn’t now be a good time to give a task like overcoming challenges above one’s level or being unbeaten at the same level?

Su Yuan frowned internally.

Alas, the damn system let him down—congratulated him with one line and went silent.

It must have realized it miscalculated the time, feeling ashamed.

After confirming that he could complete the system task by ’dancing on others’ graves,’ Su Yuan went about scattering bone ash more enthusiastically.

Not only did he target the skeletons by the roadside, but he also kicked open the homes of the disciples from White Bone Observation, scattering bone ash door to door.

Seeing Su Yuan so enthusiastically, the rescue team hesitated to speak.

They could only sigh that knowledge is cursed. Expert Xiaosu, who had deeply studied Demon Cultivators, now displayed some of their characteristics, previously suppressed, but revealed today.

This is just his little hobby; let him scatter away.

One wonders what that Ancient Era mage from the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation would think seeing this scene.

[Congratulations to the host for killing Qi Wei!]

[Congratulations to the host for killing Jiao Tianrui!]

[Congratulations to the host for exterminating the young generation of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation. Your debut battle spread your demonic might far and wide, drawing significant attention from the Saintess Zhu Qingqing!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special title "Vanquish Face and Erode Bone"!]

[Mission: View from the Summit (Completed)]

[Mission Reward: Vermilion Face and White Bone Puppet Refining Method (Issued)]

In the next instant, Su Yuan felt a wave of sinister knowledge invade his mind.

The refining method of human puppets was quickly assimilated by him and he instantly comprehended the entire use of this Demonic Secret Technique.

Setting aside the puppet controlling method, the real significance of this Secret Technique lies in the refining method for human puppets.

Take those human puppets Su Yuan encountered before; their flesh and blood were no longer what you would traditionally expect.

Their seemingly fleshly bodies were made with human flesh as the primary material, supplemented by specific components, refined using a unique sacrificial refining technique.

Only this way could they remain enduring.

But... what’s the point in pondering these?

The civilized Cultivation Society doesn’t permit the existence of human puppets!

Su Yuan wished he could expel this foul Demonic Secret Technique from his mind forever, but alas, he couldn’t.

Damn system, you really ought to pay me for understanding this Secret Technique!

After forcibly suppressing his discomfort with the Brahma Purifying Demon Heart, Su Yuan eyed another special reward.

[Vanquish Face and Erode Bone (Blue): Wearing this greatly enhances resistance against the Secret Technique of Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, while slightly increasing hostility from Zhu Yan White Bone Observation Cultivators.]

Is it only effective against this outdated Demon Sect?

Feels less impressive than... Demon Lord.

Su Yuan thought it over, considering that the title would increase hostility from White Bone Observation Cultivators, he dared not equip it ultimately.

As Su Yuan continued clearing the path, the group officially reached the end of the mid-mountain road of White Bone Observation.

A path leading straight to the mountain peak unfolded before them.

On this path, they could clearly see the footprints left by the expedition team led by Taibai Phecda.

As expected, the entire expedition team was likely at the mountaintop.

At the same time, Su Yuan’s task panel had two tasks refreshing simultaneously.

But before Su Yuan could take a closer look at the tasks, a figure appeared at the far end of the road leading to the peak.

It was a woman with long, fluttering sleeves, exuding a classical beauty, with a graceful appearance.

However, her vacant eyes showed she wasn’t a living person but a human puppet controlled by someone.

"Are you all here to receive the inheritance too?"

The puppet woman’s voice was crisp, carrying a mechanical precision.

And the language she spoke wasn’t the official language of the Blue Star Federation, but the Spiritual Language widely used in the Ancient Era Cultivation Realm.

Every one of them had been to high school, and wasn’t lacking in compulsory Spiritual Language classes, clearly understanding the puppet woman’s words.

"Inheritance?"

Ye Muyu’s beautiful eyes slightly moved, proactively asking.

The puppet woman calmly said:

"My master is the Master of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, Zhu Qingqing. She has been waiting, seeking just one thing: to find someone on the path of human puppetry with greater talent than herself."

"The master has prepared an inheritance at the mountaintop, but it’s also a test."

"Those who entered earlier have been stuck at one stage of the test, unable to proceed."

Captain Wang and the rescue team suddenly realized.

So, Master Taibai was stuck in the process of receiving a Demon Dao inheritance.

"No wonder."

Captain Wang nodded, mumbling as if to clear his idol’s name:

"Master Taibai is a true Righteous Cultivator, in a real fight, he wouldn’t lose to any despicable demon."

"What could trap him, except forcing him to learn the wicked knowledge of the Demon Dao."

"I guess the accursed Master of the White Bone Observation, Zhu Qingqing, must have first forcibly captured one from the expedition team, forcing Master Taibai and the others into a perilous situation."

"Truly, the methods of Ancient Demon Sects are despicable!"

Su Yuan: "..."

He remembered his teacher was deemed a Sword Demon by the system, a great figure of the Demon Dao.

But now wasn’t the time to say that.

Yet the puppet said calmly:

"Forcing intruders to accept the inheritance is true, but the Taibai you mentioned should be referring to that Golden Core Peak Sword Cultivator."

"Among all who participated in the inheritance, he performed the best, far surpassing others by a large margin, possessing nearly seventy percent of the talent of the Master, a person with strong demonic attributes."

Captain Wang: "???"

Oh no!

Seems like I can’t clear his name!

But just then, Su Yuan took the initiative and cleared his throat, saying:

"Don’t talk nonsense, Teacher Taibai is only delving into the Demon Sect’s inheritance because of his profound cultivation, high comprehension, and his determination to save lives."

"He’s a proper Righteous Cultivator, not some demon; don’t believe the nonsense from members of the Demon Sect."

Captain Wang visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The puppet girl didn’t argue but continued:

"If you want to save those cultivators who entered earlier, please send someone to enter the Master’s inheritance to take the test."

"Do not think of delaying for time; the time for the inheritance test is twenty-four hours, and those in the inheritance have already been there for eighteen hours."

"If you do not make a quick decision, those companions of yours trapped in the inheritance will be executed on the spot by the killing array invoked by the Master!"

This statement caused an uproar.

There’s only twelve hours left to save them through the inheritance test?

The time feels a bit tight!

...End of Section...

PS: Thanks to the boss "Huo Xu" for the reward, much appreciated!
