Many powerful individuals participated in this hunting reward program, and there were quite a few pawns in the hands of the Heavenly Dao!
As one small team after another (or groups, or individuals) completed their assembly, the captain of each team repeatedly verified the orders distributed by the Heavenly Dao and then announced them to their teammates.
If observed from a god's perspective, the mission objectives of these individuals clearly encompassed nearly everyone participating in the hunting reward program!
It can be anticipated that this command from the Heavenly Dao would thoroughly disrupt the hunting reward program, making it even bloodier and more brutal.
Is this raising poison insects? Attempting to select the strongest among these people?
No!
This is merely a simple case of mutual slaughter!
However, who besides the Heavenly Dao could guess the entire situation behind this order, as well as... the fundamental purpose hidden beneath it!
...
In a certain unknown location within the demonic clan occupied area of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace.
The swaying green flames resembled a cluster of eerie ghost fires, bringing a tiny bit of insignificant light to the entire space. Through this negligible light, it could be vaguely seen that this was a closed room resembling a basement.
In the center of the room, a handsome young man dressed in a dao robe sat quietly with his eyes closed.
Until a certain moment, sensing the faint spatial fluctuations coming from afar, the young man slowly opened his eyes.
“It has begun…”
A low mutter escaped the young man’s lips, sounding almost like a soliloquy, but surprisingly received a response.
“Is it your plan?”
A calm yet indifferent voice rang out from not far away.
Upon hearing this voice, the young man nodded slowly.
“The plan has started; I should be on my way now. By the way, thank you for helping me find a temporary resting place.”
The young man's words left the mysterious figure speechless...
After a moment, the mysterious figure, with a slightly irritated tone, said, “Hey, hey, don’t forget, this isn’t free!”
“Don’t worry, I know. If nothing unexpected happens, I might still need to trouble you to assist me once more.”
“Helping you is fine, but the price... heh heh... Moreover, your highness the demon lord should know that in my current state of barely alive, the things I can set my eyes on are quite rare…”
The previously calm and indifferent voice instantly transformed into a shrewd demeanor. Even though the demon lord had dealt with this person before, he still couldn't endure the person's seemingly split personality style of doing business—when there was no conflict of interest, he was icy like a statue, decisive and ruthless in actions! However, once benefits were mentioned…
He was truly calculating, like feathering a goose!
“Sigh…”
The demon lord felt somewhat helpless toward this guy.
“Don’t worry, your wish is something I can help you fulfill!”
After saying this, the demon lord's figure suddenly vanished, but a wave of mental energy was instantly transmitted into the mysterious figure's mind.
“The soul grafting technique allows one to transplant their soul into a fresh body where another soul has died…”
“Forbidden…”
“Prerequisites…”
“Required items and props…”
Reading through the entire method of soul grafting left by the demon lord and the necessary prerequisites in detail, after a while, a burst of wild laughter abruptly echoed throughout the basement.
The frenzied power swept through the entire basement like a storm, until the walls of the basement began to crack, and only then did the laughter slowly cease.
“Come here, convey my will, gather all demonic path practitioners below the fifth layer to capture 100 visitors from other realms who have entered the Heavenly Palace! Level does not matter!”
...
Naturally, Wen Yu was completely unaware of the events taking place in the demonic clan occupied area.
At this moment, Wen Yu was squinting his eyes, enjoying the warm currents transmitted back from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
