Beneath the Blood Sacrifice Formation, the vital essence, blood, and Divine Souls within all the Demon Cultivators were being uncontrollably absorbed and devoured. The air was thick with a bloody miasma and shattered souls, and countless Divine Souls on the verge of being utterly torn apart and consumed let out wails filled with resentment.
In the midst of such chaos, it was clear that no one had noticed an unremarkable stone suddenly appear on the ground. The stone had no distinctive features, looking just like any other one might find in the wilderness.

I am a stone... I am a stone... Wang Xiu chanted silently in his heart. His nerves were stretched taut. This is terrifying! These devils are completely insane!
He truly hadn’t expected this. When the Yinshi Evil King got ruthless, he didn’t even spare his own people, sacrificing every last one of them to the blood ritual. It was just his rotten luck to run into the traitorous Yinshi Evil King on his very first undercover mission.
The power of the Blood Soul Evil Array was immense. Even a Nascent Soul expert couldn’t resist it in the slightest and would be torn apart and devoured in minutes.
Luckily, Wang Xiu had a stroke of genius in the midst of his panic. At the critical moment, he transformed directly into a stone.
It had to be said, the Ten Thousand Demonic Transformations Art was truly incredible. His stone transformation had even managed to fool the formation. Under the formation’s detection, Wang Xiu was now just an ordinary stone. With neither Essence Blood nor a soul, the formation completely ignored him. This was how Wang Xiu had escaped catastrophe.
Although he was temporarily safe, he couldn’t transform back into his human form while under the formation’s influence, leaving him completely helpless. Fortunately, the area covered by the Blood Sacrifice Formation was much smaller than the communication-blocking barrier. If I try, I should be able to get out.
An idea formed in Wang Xiu’s mind. He once again activated the Ten Thousand Demonic Transformations Art, turning into a tiny grain of sand. Carried by the howling yin winds within the ravine, he began to drift toward the outer edge of the formation. To make his act more convincing, he deliberately mimicked the trajectory of dust motes dancing on the wind, even twirling in the air from time to time.
The disguise Wang Xiu had assumed was merely that of a protector, making him utterly inconspicuous among the crowd of Demon Cultivators. The Yinshi Evil King wouldn’t have given him a second glance.
However, as the Yinshi Evil King’s gaze swept across the scene, his expression changed slightly. Someone is missing! The Red Enchanting Snake Princess is gone!
That woman was always flashy and provocative, causing a commotion wherever she went and naturally becoming the center of attention. Yet, on this entire journey, she had been abnormally silent, her presence greatly diminished. And now, with the Blood Sacrifice Formation activated, the Red Enchanting Snake Princess had vanished completely. A deep sense of unease bloomed in the Yinshi Evil King’s heart.
Could the news have been leaked? But I only told my own son about the Blessed Land Secret Realm. I didn’t mention it to anyone else.
Just then, high up in the Firmament, four women suddenly appeared. Each held the corner of a gigantic scroll as they descended from the sky. The scroll shimmered with a flowing, iridescent light. From it emerged a procession of impossibly enchanting women, their clothes tantalizingly revealing, each a picture of peerless charm and seduction. There were a full thousand of them!
They danced gracefully in the void, their movements seemingly capable of stirring the most sinister desires from the depths of a person’s soul.
The Elders of the Ghost King Sect were already on their last legs under the power of the Blood Soul Evil Array. Now, their minds were completely overwhelmed by the spectacle. With vacant expressions, they lost all will to resist. Their bodies rapidly dissolved, turning to dregs that vanished from the world.
As the thousand women danced, surging waves of demonic power poured from the scroll, forming an even larger formation that completely sealed off the surrounding space.
The Yinshi Evil King’s face went pale. "Is this... the Thousand Charms and Hundred Beauties Scroll?"
The Thousand Charms and Hundred Beauties Scroll. A Holy Artifact of the Hehuan Sect. It had been forged through the Blood Soul Sacrifice of one thousand beautiful young virgins, all of whom possessed special Pure Yin Physiques. It could be used to form the Thousand Charms and Hundred Beauties Grand Formation, and its power was immeasurable! If a powerful expert from the Hehuan Sect entered the formation to control it, its power could be elevated to an even more appalling level.
And the aura emanating from the four women holding the corners of the scroll was unmistakably that of Emergence Stage Great Abilities of the Demonic Path!
"Hehehe... Sect Master Yinshi, what sharp eyes you have. It seems I don’t need to make any introductions!"
The void trembled. From a corner within the Blood Sacrifice Array, the Red Enchanting Snake Princess slowly revealed her figure, a smile playing in her eyes. A rosy light emanated from her body, faintly connecting her to the Thousand Charms and Hundred Beauties Scroll in the Firmament. The terrifying power within the Blood Sacrifice Array was actually unable to harm her in the slightest!
The Yinshi Evil King’s face turned livid. "It really was you! How did you find out about the Blessed Land?"
The Red Enchanting Snake Princess let out a charming laugh. "Sect Master Yinshi, you certainly hid your secrets well. But you never, ever should have told your son! He lacks your cunning. It only took a little persuasion from me, and he told me everything!"
So it was him! The Yinshi Evil King’s eyes blazed with fury. That damned brat! How many times did I tell him to stay away from that vixen? I took every possible precaution, yet still couldn’t prevent this!
He took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm. His voice was like ice as he said, "You should know that what I despise most is betrayal. Have you considered the consequences of what you’ve done today?"
The Red Enchanting Snake Princess rolled her eyes. "Isn’t it a bit rich, hearing that from you? Besides, I have always been a member of the Hehuan Sect. Joining the Ghost King Sect was merely an act. What betrayal is there to speak of?"
The Yinshi Evil King sneered, "Merely an act? An act you’ve kept up for several hundred years. You must be exhausted!"
Seeing the Yinshi Evil King’s utterly furious expression, the Red Enchanting Snake Princess felt a thrill of pure delight. Today! This is a new high point in my life.
Being an undercover agent isn’t particularly rare. Even a special sect like the Hehuan Sect, with its highly... social nature, requires vast sources of intelligence. Otherwise, how could a sect composed entirely of beautiful women who don’t excel at direct combat possibly survive in the Demonic Path? Although the methods the Hehuan Sect disciples use to extract information are often rather straightforward, crude, and efficient, there’s a saying in our line of work: only a fool believes what a man says in bed. Even when they do talk, the information is rarely of any great value.
Therefore, planting spies inside other factions is essential. However, due to the peculiar nature of the job, the people chosen for such tasks need to meet two criteria. On the one hand, they must be highly capable. On the other... their death must not be a great loss. They have to be expendable. At the very least, you never hear of a sect sending its own heir apparent to be a spy. You only hear of spies who go to other sects and accidentally become the Sect Leader.
To put it bluntly, she, the Red Enchanting Snake Princess, was sent to the Ghost King Sect as a spy. While her outstanding abilities were a factor, a much larger reason was her lack of a powerful background. People with strong connections aren’t sent on missions where they could be killed at any moment. And she, among those with no background, clearly had the least of all.
The Ghost King Sect was just a minor sect and didn’t hold much intelligence value, so it was difficult for her to achieve any great merits. A spy who cannot provide useful intelligence is a worthless spy. Her status as an Elder of the Hehuan Sect plummeted. Eventually, it seemed the Hehuan Sect had all but forgotten her, as they hadn’t made contact in a very long time. This reality left the Red Enchanting Snake Princess disillusioned and disheartened, and she could only turn to indulgence to relieve her inner pressure. But spying is a delicate business; without pressure, it’s easy to make mistakes. So, to keep herself on edge, she had to interact with even more men within the Ghost King Sect. Dealing with so many different men every day placed immense pressure on her, both physically and mentally. It was an infinite loop.
