Chapter 80: Sin (1/2)

”What happened in the city? Tell me.”

Jiang Li had originally sought out Elder Zhong to provide information. The information he possessed was far from what he could handle by himself.

After all, this was an important matter. If the sky collapsed, it should be held up by giants. He felt that there were some things that the sect needed to prepare for.

Therefore, after tidying up his thoughts, he spoke about everything that had happened in the city.

”You're saying that 11 disciples disappeared every day?”

Jiang Li did not say the information about the spiritual root seed directly. Although there was already a lot of evidence regarding this matter, if he risked his life to verify it, it might be enough to make the sect believe him!

However, it could be seen from many places that this spiritual root seed was definitely not something that had only appeared recently. Furthermore, this thing could even control Golden Core cultivators. If this was not an exception, the things involved would probably be even more terrifying than Jiang Li imagined.

If a mere Qi Refinement realm cultivator revealed such a secret, even if this secret could really cause a huge change in the cultivation world, how could he not be killed along the way?

At that time, if he risked his life to verify it, he would really die.

On the other hand, Jiang Li could not explain why he knew so much.

His earliest understanding of the ”spiritual root seed” came from a name identified by appraisal. Coupled with the bold assumption and careful verification later, he had a rough understanding of it now.

However, how could he explain the ”appraisal technique” to the sect?

It was possible that the sect would suspect him and treat him as a traitor or discover some clues to investigate to the end.

It was very likely that he would expose his own uniqueness. In the end, he might become the first unlucky person to die during the calamity of the spiritual root seed. The gains would not make up for the losses.

Therefore, he only repeated the number '11' and described in detail the possibility that the ”missing outer sect disciples” might be controlled or even possessed.

He hoped that the sect could pay attention to this and investigate in detail from the perspective of possessing someone's body. From there, they would uncover all the parasitic cultivators with spiritual roots that might be hidden in the cultivation world.

”In fact, I'm not sure how many disciples went missing on the third day. However, eleven people did go missing two days ago. Furthermore, the senior and junior brothers who went missing were all found in the cave where the rebels were hiding.”

”It's said that when they disappeared, they were all scammed by disciples who were also missing.”

Jiang Li added in more detail again. Elder Zhong clearly had his own thoughts.

Elder Zhong: ”When they were found, were they all unconscious? No one was actually killed?”

Jiang Li wondered if Elder Zhong had gotten wiser, but he still answered quickly: ”Yes, yes, yes. Moreover, the hair of all the unconscious disciples has turned white.”

Elder Zhong: ”Did they all betray the sect and attack you instead?”

Jiang Li: ”Yes, yes. Their behavior and actions are completely different. They must be controlled by someone.”

Elder Zhong: ”Did the lightning tribulation suddenly start not long after they died?”

Jiang Li: ”Yes, yes, yes…”

Wait, what? Why did he suddenly mention the lightning tribulation?

Jiang Li hoped that the other party would notice the method of controlling cultivators.

However, it was obvious that this elder's attention was not in the same direction as Jiang Li. He was clearly more concerned about their goal of controlling the outer sect disciples.

However, it made sense. Jiang Li had gathered some other information and learned that the spiritual root seed even possessed a terrifying power that could control Golden Core cultivators. Therefore, he naturally placed great importance on this.

However, the sect elder did not know about the matter of the spiritual root seed. In his understanding, it was just a few outer sect disciples in the Qi Refinement realm who were controlled by others. Wasn't that a simple matter?

Even he himself had two or three methods to do it, so it was not surprising that Duan Shuang, who was also a Golden Core cultivator, could.
