Therefore, ever since I acquired this treasure, it has never failed.
Every time, I can determine whether someone is hiding something without their notice. Even if a bunch of truths are mixed with one or two lies, it can be detected through spiritual power fluctuations.
Since the magical treasure didn’t show any anomalies throughout, it means everything Peng Dahai said is true.
"Then... shall we go have a look?" The Incense Master hesitated slightly. As a member of the Leisure Sect, one must be cautious and never risk oneself. However, this matter is truly peculiar.
He worries that the Deputy Director has ill intentions and might ignore important details, leading to hidden information during communication. Sometimes, a tiny slip can lead to a disastrous outcome. Losing forty-seven disciples in one day is already a major incident, and the Banner Master keeps urging.
In a situation where realm and identity are completely dominant, the Incense Master ponders over the biggest threat, which still seems to come from the Deputy Director, but Qian Lang wouldn’t be dumb enough to directly ambush him.
As for Peng Dahai, that old fellow is even less likely; his strength is laughably low and doesn’t even catch the eye.
Besides, Peng Dahai’s merit is almost equal to Qian Lang’s. If luck favors him, surpassing Qian Lang and becoming the Deputy Director is entirely possible. In the Leisure Sect, those with merit can rise; in the degenerate evil path, there is no limit, and any member has infinite possibilities.
The Incense Master feels there’s no danger in this meeting; he can inquire about details personally to report to the Banner Master, and seize the chance to test Peng Dahai’s true nature.
Who doesn’t want the Deputy Director by their side to be a harmless fellow?
If Peng Dahai is pleasing and behaves, covertly helping him claim the Deputy Director position is not impossible, since the enemy’s enemy is a friend, right?
After careful consideration of the pros and cons, the Incense Master decides to ensure safety by moving unpredictably — going now to see Peng Dahai, rendering Qian Lang’s plans futile!
Thus, just as Jiang Yuan expressed urgency to see the Incense Master;
Qian Lang hadn’t received the message yet, but upon seeing a blinding light in Green Forest Ditch, the exceptionally tall Incense Master, with his snow-white goat’s head and massive horns, strutted boldly towards him!
[Yang Sansi: Evil Cultivator of the Divine Travel Realm Fifth Layer, member of the Leisure Sect, currently the Third Incense Master under the Thirteen Halls Yellow Banner. Practices Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique, Soul-devouring Curse, and other evil techniques, specializes in stirring emotions...]
Jiang Yuan’s eyes flashed green with excitement, thinking even the evil path’s Incense Master would be a major lackey with high vigilance, hard to meet. Unexpectedly, here he comes, strutting with that head atop his shoulders!
"Greetings, Incense Master." Qian Lang was also shocked, immediately saluting and introducing: "Peng Dahai, hurry to greet the Incense Master and report truthfully what you said earlier."
He was anticipating what kind of surprise Peng Dahai might bring him, while Jiang Yuan stepped forward respectfully, seizing the moment of their hypocritical pleasantries to use the Chaotic Heaven Bell, gifting them a grand surprise!
"Dong~"
The enormous bell clanged onto the ground at lightning speed, emitting a clear and melodious sound.
Yang Sansi and Qian Lang didn’t react, neither spiritual power fluctuations nor preparation, the zero-frame start’s value was still rising!
"What’s happening?"
"Qian Lang, what tricks are you up to? Conflict between comrades and insubordination are severe taboos!"
"Are you freaking stupid? I’m right next to you! It’s Peng Dahai, that old twerp, doing mischief!"
"This is bad, my spiritual power is restrained and can’t operate, what about you? Is the Teleportation Treasure usable?"
"You’re restrained, what can I do at the Transformation Realm? The Teleportation Talisman shows no signs, the treasure can’t be activated... damn it, what’s that old twerp up to?"
...
Inside the Chaotic Heaven Bell, everything was pitch black.
When they found that their Storage Bags couldn’t be opened, not even for the simplest illumination, their hearts sank instantly.
"Peng Dahai, get a grip!" Qian Lang, who was panicking a moment ago, suddenly found himself inexplicably outside the dark place, entirely grabbed by "Peng Dahai".
Attempting resistance to no avail, he angrily shouted, "If there betrays you for vengeance, it must be the Incense Master without doubt. Why grab me?"
Jiang Yuan, absorbing lifespan, smiled slightly, "You guess?"
Qian Lang was stunned, his mind buzzing, as life and lifespan quickly faded, both scared and angry, he exclaimed, "Aren’t you afraid of getting struck during Thunder Tribulation Crossing for harming your comrades?"
"I’m doing good deeds; what’s there to worry?" He absorbed him until barely alive, took everything that could be plundered, and launched into the Flame Sea instance, handing over to the master.
With a swift movement, Jiang Yuan pulled Yang Sansi out.
"Peng Dahai, are you insane?" Facing doom, he hadn’t expected the person before him wasn’t a Leisure Sect member.
Not seeing the Deputy Director, he assumed the two had made some secret deal, furiously saying, "What benefits did Qian Lang promise you? I’ll give you three times, no, ten times the benefits! I can even make you the Deputy Director in his stead... Soul-devouring Demon Skill?!"
Yang Sansi’s realm was high, his perspective broad; realizing his entire spiritual power and vitality flowed uncontrollably away, his face turned pale. Such rare skills, how would lowly Peng Dahai access them?
Could it be... something went wrong?
"You’re not Peng Dahai!" In a frenzy, Yang Sansi’s brain reasoned that he earlier trusted the sect’s issued Merit Token too much and believed the supposed Faceless Pig Demon disguise rumor.
However, the person before him bore no resemblance to Peng Dahai in physique, voice, or applied skills!
Jiang Yuan discarded the mask, smiled, "Congratulations, you’re right! Now, hand over your Merit Token voluntarily, I might spare your life."
"In your dreams!" Yang Sansi knew he was at the point of exhaustion, furious that such a prestigious Divine Travel Realm Great Demon Cultivator was powerless, he gnashed his teeth, "No matter what tricks you’ve used, impersonating Peng Dahai’s identity and wanting to replace me? Hah, kill me! I won’t let you succeed!"
Jiang Yuan:...
"Tsk, tsk, does the Sect Leader know you’re this loyal to the Leisure Sect? Why aren’t they rescuing you?" He taunted, showcasing the Merit Token plundered from Qian Lang, shaking it smugly, "It’s just an Incense Master’s identity, after you’re gone, Qian Lang directly gets promoted, same story.
Just offering you a chance to live, see, you’re no match for the Deputy Director’s shrewdness and adaptability! He not only handed over the Merit Token voluntarily but also offered this treasure, and I spared him. Check the Merit Ranking if you don’t believe."
Yang Sansi instinctively sensed the ranking; Qian Lang still held the Deputy Director position, his merit biting close to his own.
If killed by this lad, directly entering the death list, the Deputy Director automatically becomes Incense Master, all his possessions will be his.
"Since you already have his Merit Token, demanding mine... you think Yang Sansi is better suited for disguise?" He tilted his snow-white goat head, staring with devilish eyes at the human-scented opponent, hostilely, "Very well, I shall see how a mere Human Cultivator impersonates me! Hahaha, when you’re exposed, your end is near!"
Jiang Yuan snatched his Merit Token, deftly unbound and rebound, updating the ranking instantly — Peng Dahai entered the death list and was removed.
Gathering the spoils, he grinned slightly, "Soon a new Deputy Director will emerge, I’ll log on using the account to summon all disciples and send them to accompany you all. Then, the Third Incense Master becomes leaderless, guess how I’ll respond when the Banner Master makes inquiries?"
Not waiting for a response, Jiang Yuan laughed heartily, "Of course, I’ll claim the Leisure Sect faced an attack, I, Yang Sansi, possessed a Human Cultivator barely escaping a disaster. With the Merit Token at hand, why would I be exposed?"
Yang Sansi turned pale, "Who are you? Practicing evil techniques and not joining the Leisure Sect, aren’t you scared of divine retribution?"
"You don’t fear it; why should I?" he shifted topics, lowering his voice darkly, "I am a benevolent person enabling your immortal, unparalleled existence; when free, I’ll check in, no thanks needed!"
Launching him into the Flame Sea instance, Jiang Yuan accessed the Incense Master’s unique interface, inheriting everything from Yang Sansi, capable of summoning Immortal Ship, contacting subordinates, viewing member details, and numerous new features — a total blast!
