Night of Despair

Chapter 332 - 332 Situation 330 Four

?Chapter 332: Situation 330, Four Chapter 332: Situation 330, Four Thump.

Mao Rong’s corpse fell to the ground, lifeless.

And in the entire warehouse, over a hundred magicians were stunned at this moment.

Countless gazes converged on the mummified body, a mixture of horror, fear, shock, disbelief, and other emotions, filling this small warehouse at this instant.

Everyone’s breathing came to a halt as they looked at the corpse on the ground, then remembered the previous spirit light; the connection was so obvious, that no one could fail to realize it.

Spirit light, actually concealed such an evil backdoor…

Their life and death had always been in the palm of Zheng Rou’s hands… Just a simple action like that could reduce someone to a mummified corpse instantly…

Bang.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Someone had fired!

But the bullet hit the metal wall beside Yu Hong, making a crisp sound.

Similarly, another white spirit light shot out from the crowd, converging into Yu Hong’s hand.

He wore a smile, calmly absorbing the second spirit light, then withdrew his hand, looking at the utterly quiet crowd.

“It seems that I am still one step ahead,” he said with a smile, “Don’t you think?”

After a long while…

Cheng Shu, who was equally stunned, looked around at the pale-faced magicians, and took the initiative to step forward.

“Zheng Rou, what exactly do you want to do? Spreading the spirit light over such a large area… Once it spreads, the Taoist Sect and the officials will hunt you down with full force!”

She was completely baffled.

“They have no time to care about me,” Yu Hong shook his head, “Moreover, what I am doing is preparing everyone.”

He spread his arms.

“A massive natural disaster is coming, whether it’s the Taoist Sect or the officials, they will soon be overwhelmed and have no strength to worry about these small matters.”

“And I, I just want to gather a portion of everyone’s power in the future catastrophe.”

He looked at the crowd; nobody dared to speak again.

Many were still immersed in the information that one would die if their spirit light was withdrawn, and their hearts were filled with immense panic.

“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t actively oppose me, I will not withdraw your spirit light. And now, the purpose of our gathering here is not to scare everyone, but to merge everyone’s spirit light, enhancing the power of all. Right?”

Without further ado, he raised his right hand high.

The Tai Ling Skill was rapidly activated.

Hiss!

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!

In an instant, invisible transparent light threads flew out from everyone’s body.

Each thread eventually converged into Yu Hong’s palm, continuously drilling into his body.

Instantly, a surge of refreshing sensation flooded into Yu Hong’s heart.

He could clearly see, and sense, the inner strength of his Tai Ling Skill growing rapidly stronger and thicker in his body.

The nine layers of the Tai Ling Skill were still named after the Taiyuan True Method. After all, this cultivation technique was essentially based on the Taiyuan True Method, supplemented and modified with other techniques.

At this moment, Yu Hong’s originally cultivated Third Layer Blue Sun was also met with a surge of spirit light, impacting and merging with it.

The cluster of inner strength carrying the aura of the Ultimate Sun began to grow rapidly.

Seconds later.

A pale blue illusory sun slowly emerged in front of Yu Hong.

Then, the phantom sun quickly disappeared, replaced by a dim yellowish-red halo that completely enveloped Yu Hong.

Another few seconds later, the halo dissipated.

Yu Hong collected his hand with a refreshed expression as the special transformation of the Tai Ling Skill Fourth Layer Dusk automatically emerged in his mind.

Yes, the Tai Ling Skill, which was supposed to take several more months to break through, had, under the integration of a large amount of spirit light, achieved a breakthrough, starting the cultivation of the Fourth Layer Dusk.

Complex enhancements started to take place inside Yu Hong.

As soon as the Tai Ling Skill’s inner strength broke through, it began a new round of transformation for him from the root.

A hint of icy chill wafted lightly from Yu Hong’s body.

The ultimate goal of this cultivation technique was to completely merge oneself with the Ultimate Sun, becoming its sole will.

Therefore, each breakthrough of the cultivation technique meant that Yu Hong’s body was gradually being reformed to adapt to the extreme environment within the Ultimate Sun.

The icy chill caused the other magicians standing beside him to retreat one after another.

Some sharp-eyed ones even saw the frost slowly condensing under Yu Hong’s feet.

Just as they worried that losing their spirit light might turn them into mummified corpses.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Dense spirit light threads shot out from Yu Hong again, returning to each magician.

Seconds later.

The spirit light vanished. The abnormalities on Yu Hong disappeared as well.

Everyone’s expression changed dramatically, sensing new changes within their bodies.

Cheng Shu, Red Snake, and Headless Sword felt the same.

A layer of pearly white spirit light naturally emerged from them, protecting every part of their bodies like close-fitting armor.

“I feel like the amplification of the spirit light has become much stronger!” Red Snake exclaimed in shock.

“This magic… is too wicked!” Headless Sword said with a deep voice.

“But we’re already on board; I thought how could there be such a great deal in the world, to get so many benefits for such a small price and risk. Now, it’s normal…” Red Snake seemed to have figured it out.

“Aren’t you afraid?” Cheng Shu looked towards her.

“What’s there to fear? At any rate, I wouldn’t live more than a few years even under normal circumstances, so I might as well take a gamble with this person!” Red Snake whispered.

She moved her fingers, feeling the amplification brought by the Spirit Light, and a joyous smile appeared on her face.

“My injuries have been completely suppressed!”

She had previously sustained serious internal injuries to her body while practicing magic, and her organs could fail at any moment. That’s why she chose to join the officials and become an official Magician, so she could use the official resources to prolong her life.

But now… things were different.

Previously, the Spirit Light could only alleviate her internal injuries, but this time, it actually completely suppressed the internal injuries, almost making her feel as if there were no issues at all!

Not just her.

Cheng Shu also felt the change, the newly returned Spirit Light was significantly stronger.

Not only could it automatically form a protective layer around the body, but the amplified strength had also increased by at least half.

Previously, she could only use her own magic techniques consecutively five times before her organs would be injured, and she would have to stop.

After obtaining the Spirit Light the last time, she had tested and found that she could use her magic continuously more than ten times.

And now, after the enhancement of the Spirit Light.

“Perhaps when I release magic techniques in the future, I won’t get injured anymore….”

Having reached this conclusion, Cheng Shu’s expression was one of shock.

She knew very well what this meant for Wild Mages.

Not just her, but the other Wild Mages of the Mutual Assistance Alliance also showed signs of astonishment.

No side effects meant that they and the Magicians from the orthodox sects were now on the same starting line.

They would not be inferior to the sect Magicians from now on!

“It seems everyone has felt the benefits of the Spirit Light. Please rest assured, as long as we all work together, the Spirit Light can become stronger and stronger, until finally, we can create a better tomorrow!” Yu Hong sincerely and loudly said.

“….”

No one dared to refute; those who dared to speak up were already dead. They lay on the ground, turning into mummies.

“I also understand that everyone is worried about me extracting your Spirit Light, bringing danger. But here, I can assure everyone that as long as you don’t do anything that goes against heaven and harms reason, I, Yu Hong, will never lightly use such magic! After all, everyone present here is a part of strengthening the Spirit Light, and each person can contribute their part,” Yu Hong loudly said.

Seeing that still nobody responded.

He exhaled, and his tone changed.

“Of course, I’m not so selfless. I founded the Mutual Assistance Alliance also for my own personal reasons…”

The moment these words came out, the crowd inexplicably felt a relief in their hearts.

It’s better that he has his own agenda!

Everyone was afraid of the constant noble excuses, without knowing what he really wanted to do.

Yu Hong keenly sensed this change in the air.

“My personal desire is to borrow everyone’s strength to build a powerful alliance that doesn’t fear anyone, and that no force can interfere with or obstruct!”

“I have said that a disaster is imminent, and only the power of unity can stop everything, protect everything! Additionally, I was once a member of the Wild Mages, deeply suffering from the constraints of the sect’s Daoist Skills. Hence, establishing this alliance, I also hope to unite everyone’s strength to gather and obtain top-tier Daoist Magic Techniques! Thereby establishing our own Taoist Sect!”

After Yu Hong shared his thoughts, the Magicians in the warehouse began to relax.

Several Magicians with ideas in mind gradually stood up, querying Yu Hong on the implementation details of this goal.

Yu Hong also answered each question seriously.

The atmosphere of the Alliance gradually became friendlier.

More and more Magicians stood up daring to ask questions.

Until an hour later.

The Mutual Assistance Alliance finally completed its initial framework.

With Yu Hong as the Alliance Hierarch and Cheng Shu as the assistant, the strongest two Magicians were unanimously selected as liaisons and messengers.

Everyone exchanged contact details and agreed to continue developing new members offline.

The more members, the better!

This was Yu Hong’s policy, as well as the direction for the Mutual Assistance Alliance’s future expansion and development.

Ancestor Court Yunshu Mountain—Taoist Sect headquarters.

Inside the resplendent great hall.

During the deep night, a gaunt figure quietly leaned against the side of the door, apparently waiting for something.

The figure’s face was hidden in the shadows, unrecognizable, only the purple Jade Bead Bracelet on the right wrist glinting under the moonlight.

Time slowly passed.

Suddenly, the figure lifted its head slightly, looking towards the outer right side of the hall.

There on the ground, at some unknown time, a red figure appeared floating in mid-air.

“Why so late today?” the figure asked in a deep voice.

“Something held me up, my apologies.” the red figure quickly replied.

“How is the situation at Zihe Palace?” the figure asked.

“Everything is proceeding smoothly here. The basic layout has been completed. Everything follows your instructions,” the red figure answered.

“Make sure not to leave any traces; throw it all onto the Seven Evil Alliance—otherwise, if the Heavenly Master notices, it will be troublesome when they start to investigate. Someone has already begun looking into the previous cases,” the figure cautioned.

“Any traces?”

“Any and all. Everyone involved in this matter must be taken care of,” the figure said indifferently.

“Understood. Then the next target is…?”

“Next is Lu Zhenshun from the Heavenly Master Mansion; resolve him first. He might have noticed something from the last time when he cooperated with activating the Yin Qi Sky Pillar.”

“Yes. I’ll make arrangements right away.”
