Chapter 184 Divine Wind Emperor
But the one who felt the deepest about the light was not them, but Wang Shengqiao, who practiced dark magic. For others, the aura of light was warm and peaceful. But for him, it was the source of pain!
Under the influence of the Heart of Light Element, the corpse poison in Wang Shengqiao's body became restless. It seemed to be afraid of something, and it seemed to be avoiding something, running around Wang Shengqiao's body, making him feel unbearable pain as if he were being cut by a thousand knives!
However, the pain in his body was far less than the shock in his heart. "You... you are... the Living Buddha?"
"Do you have any doubts?" Eric asked indifferently, retracting the Heart of Light Element.
Although the pain in his body was gone, Wang Shengqiao's expression looked even more uncomfortable. "Since you... you are the Living Buddha, then why do you possess the Demon Heart of our Demon Sect?"
"Do you want to know?" Seeing Wang Shengqiao nodding like pounding garlic, Eric joked, "I'm not going to tell you!"
A cold and fierce light flashed in Wang Shengqiao's eyes, but immediately dimmed. He seemed to remember his current situation. He put on a begging face and said, "Please, tell me why you have the Demon Heart?"
Eric ignored him.
Knowing that he would never get his wish, Wang Shengqiao sighed and asked, "Why didn't you kill me? Don't you want to eliminate demons and defend the way?"
"You still have value to me!" Eric said indifferently, "Honestly explain why the Demon Sect wants to infiltrate the country..."
"You're dreaming!" Wang Shengqiao said firmly, "The Demon Sect absolutely doesn't have people who fear death! You will never know the plans of our Demon Sect..."
As Wang Shengqiao spoke, he began to use a secret technique of the Demon Sect, preparing to self-destruct. Although he knew that this would not cause any harm to a figure like the Living Buddha, it would at least disgust them!
However, he was disappointed! Just as he was about to activate the "Demon Disintegration Technique," he suddenly found that he had lost control of his body. Moreover, a strong spiritual force was invading his mind.
The techniques of the Demon Sect were diverse, and Wang Shengqiao naturally knew that someone was using a technique similar to "Mind Control Technique" to deal with him! But what use was knowing? In the face of such a powerful spiritual force, all resistance was futile...
The Puppet Technique, recorded in the "Dark Chronicles," was the ultimate dark magic. Unlike "Pet Contract" or "Master-Servant Contract," it would erase a person's consciousness, but not their memory or abilities. In other words, creatures that had signed various "contracts" still had their original hobbies and habits. But those affected by the Puppet Technique would change all of these. As for what they would become, it depended on how the practitioner used the power of darkness to set it up!
"How many people are there? What is the purpose of infiltrating? "
"Master." Wang Shengqiao, who had been reborn, prostrated himself on the ground and answered respectfully, "Based on memory, there are at least seventeen disciples of the Demon Sect lurking in various places in China, but they are not in contact with each other, so they do not know the whereabouts of others. In addition, the purpose of the Demon Sect is not clear, except for seeking the Demon Lord who possesses the Demon Heart, the other requirement is to develop their power vigorously and obey the orders issued by the Guardian Priest at any time!"
Tan Ailing frowned slightly and interjected, "Who is the Guardian Priest? Where is he now?"
Wang Shengqiao did not answer. Eric knew that this kind of "puppet" would only obey the words of the practitioner, so he immediately repeated Tan Ailing's question.
"The Guardian Priest is the Divine Wind Emperor, currently living in seclusion in the Divine Wind Valley!"
"What? It's actually the Divine Wind Emperor?" Tan Ailing and the four elite bodyguards exclaimed in unison.
Eric asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Is this Divine Wind Emperor very powerful?"
Tan Ailing nodded, frowning, "Eric, the Divine Wind Emperor first appeared in Jianghu at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that he had some relationship with Dorgon and helped the Qing Dynasty at that time to kill martial artists who opposed the Qing Dynasty. After Dorgon was removed by Shunzhi, he also went into seclusion. When he reappeared thirty years later, he was already a top-level expert at the pre-heaven stage, creating the Divine Wind Palm, which is extremely powerful. I didn't expect him to still be alive now; he must be over three hundred years old..."
"Being over three hundred years old is nothing special!" Eric didn't really care about this "little guy" who hadn't reached his level yet. "Didn't Zhou Dian live for over six hundred years?"
"It's different!" Tan Ailing shook her head. "Generally speaking, even if pre-heaven experts have a way to maintain their health, they cannot live past three hundred years! I'm afraid that the Divine Wind Emperor will become a master-level existence no less than Zhou Dian..."
Eric naturally passed this question on to Wang Shengqiao.
"The Divine Wind Emperor practices dark magic, which harms the heavens and himself, so he has not been able to reach the master level to this day! According to memory, he has relied on a very cruel and evil 'Virgin Seizing Yuan and Increasing Lifespan Secret Technique' to live to this age!"
"Where is the Divine Wind Emperor now?"
"In the Divine Wind Valley."
Eric and Tan Ailing rolled their eyes at the same time and asked in detail, "Where exactly is the Divine Wind Valley?"
"Japan. But the exact location is not clear!"
Tan Ailing's face relaxed slightly, but she still looked serious.
"What's wrong?" Eric gently rubbed Tan Ailing's frowned brow and asked in a soft voice, "Are you very worried about the Divine Wind Emperor?"
"Yes!" Tan Ailing leaned weakly against Eric's chest and said, "Every time the Divine Wind Emperor appears, he not only causes chaos in the martial arts world but also causes turmoil in the country... We must not let him come out to cause trouble again..."
"He has been in seclusion for so long, he should be cultivating his mind and body to break through to the master level, right?"
"Absolutely not!" Tan Ailing shook her head firmly and explained, "If he was really cultivating his mind and body to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, then he would never have used the cruel and evil method mentioned by Wang Shengqiao to increase his lifespan..."
Eric felt that what Tan Ailing said made some sense. The Divine Wind Emperor should not be a character who resigned himself to loneliness, so he asked Wang Shengqiao, "Is the Divine Wind Emperor really in seclusion, or will he intervene in the affairs of the Demon Sect?"
"According to memory, the Divine Wind Emperor is currently the highest spiritual leader of the Demon Sect. Even the Priest in charge of daily management would not disobey his orders! However, the Divine Wind Emperor usually does not handle affairs. He only occasionally gathers outstanding disciples of the Demon Sect for training! In addition, he will also do some things at the invitation of those in power..."
"Those in power?" Tan Ailing asked in surprise, "Do you mean the Japanese government?"
"Yes!"
"The Divine Wind Emperor actually has connections with the Japanese government?" Tan Ailing's brow furrowed tightly again. "What does the Japanese government want the Divine Wind Emperor to do?"
"The relevant information in memory is only one document, which was decades ago when the Japanese militarist government exchanged a secret method of brainwashing from the Demon Sect with the Divine Wind Emperor using a thousand excellent virgin girls. With this secret method, the Japanese militarist government trained a large number of fearless soldiers, and one elite team was personally named by the Divine Wind Emperor - the Kamikaze Special Attack Team..."
Upon hearing this, Tan Ailing couldn't help but kick a nearby automatic mahjong table to pieces in anger, saying, "This animal who forgets his roots..."
"Don't get angry over a beast!" Eric gently patted Tan Ailing.
"Eric, I'm really worried now..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Eric knew what Tan Ailing was worried about. He smiled and advised, "It's no use worrying now! After all, we don't know where the Divine Wind Emperor is, and we don't know his plans..."
"What should we do then?"
"Maintain the status quo!" Eric thought for a moment and said, "Let Wang Shengqiao continue to lead his Axe Gang. Once there is news from the Divine Wind Emperor, report to me immediately! Let's play a game of cat and mouse with him!"
"That's all we can do!"
Looking at the corpses and bloodstains all over the ground, Eric frowned at the dirtiness of it all and said, "Now that things are done, let's go back! Wang Shengqiao, you continue to be the leader of your Axe Gang. Once there is news from the Divine Wind Emperor, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, master!" Wang Shengqiao trembled as he got up from the ground, bowed, and said, "I respectfully send off the master!"
Seeing him standing unsteadily, Eric knew that his injuries were quite serious, so he said, "Come with me. Let's find a place to heal your injuries first!"
"Thank you, master!"
Before leaving, Eric instructed Wang Shengqiao's men to clean up the scene, both to tidy up and to prevent the members of the Axe Gang from misunderstanding that their leader had been abducted.
