Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1291: Chapter 977: You Think You’re Worthy of Going to Hell?

Seeing Qi Baijun enter a critical state, finally triggering the skill acquisition! Jiang Yuan was afraid he might accidentally suck the life out of him, so he quickly clicked the choice.

[Do you wish to consume one million Spirit Stones to learn the same skill, Soul-Devouring Demon Skill?]

The familiar old price, he clicked confirm again, and as his account lost a million Spirit Stones, the experience bar for the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill rapidly advanced until it upgraded and stopped.

Level Eight!

With the skill upgraded, he immediately stopped, afraid that Qi Baijun’s life would be lost, then maintained his grip on the opponent’s arms and clicked to enter the Flame Sea dungeon.

"Whew!"

A scorching wind blew in his face, instantly making him feel parched.

"Is this... Hell?" Qi Baijun was completely bewildered, feeling the unbearable heat and couldn’t help but be alarmed—wasn’t it said that once a cultivator dies, they vanish completely, unable to go to Hell or reincarnate?

Could it all be a deceitful tactic?

One must know that even after death, a cultivator has a soul, which would go to Hell to suffer. No matter what, they shouldn’t fall into evil paths!

"Do you even dream of going to Hell? In your dreams, perhaps?" Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, "Going to Hell means you can atone for your sins through suffering, and once you’ve paid your dues, there’s a chance for reincarnation.

Even if it’s as an ox, horse, chicken, duck, or goose, there’s still a chance to accumulate virtue and return as a human, and even possibly step onto a cultivation path to become a demon. After all the innocent lives you’ve taken, do you think you’re fit for Hell? Wake up, open your eyes and see where you truly are."

After saying this, he ripped off the opponent’s Merit Token, replacing it with Yang Sansi’s.

From now on, "Yang Sansi" is dead, and Jiang Yuan officially takes over Qi Baijun’s role as the Three Protectors of the Leisure Sect!

"What is this place? Why... why does it seem like I’ve seen Ugly Slave?" Qi Baijun was in immense pain, gasping for breath as he strained to open his eyes and look around.

Life was nearing depletion, his spiritual power was entirely drained, and his body was extremely weak, yet he was still a tiny step away from actual death.

The instinct to survive made him muster some strength to look around, only to see the ridiculously ugly and uniquely odd Ugly Slave running fast while carrying something unknown with his short legs.

The scorching flames filled the near distance, vast and boundless like an ocean.

The air was baked and distorted, making it hard for him to see Ugly Slave’s expression from afar. But it was indeed Ugly Slave, without a doubt; among all cultivators, only he could be this extraordinarily ugly.

But Ugly Slave was obviously dead!

Hiss... could it be a ghost?!

Qi Baijun was bewildered, lying on the ground without realizing the polluted air was infiltrating his empty body, transforming it.

"Oh my, Jiang, how come you’re here in person today?" The old master just saw the two "thud" down and was pondering the addition of new members, then he saw one was none other than the esteemed God of Wealth!

Running eagerly to pay respects, he praised, "Just in time, come quickly, the achievements of this strange army recently have been quite remarkable. In a few days, they should be able to completely clear the entire Flame Sea."

Jiang Yuan responded with a smile, lowering his voice, "Hurry and convert the guy I brought into the strange army and extract the urgent information I need, and be quick about it!"

The opportunity was rare and he had to seamlessly replace Qi Baijun to catch all the blood bags in one swoop and make the Leisure Sect completely disappear in the Wilderness World!

"Understood, rest assured!" The old master replied with a serious expression, patting his chest to guarantee satisfaction.

After a simple inquiry into the new member’s identity, he gestured for Lady Yu to call Ugly Slave over.

The addition of a new member signified substantial merit.

And as the upstream of a new member, being able to share in the merit as soon as they open up is incredibly fortunate!

Gaining merit not only allows for the exchange for food and water but also a variety of tempting delicious fruits. Lady Yu hoped the old master would grant the opportunity to her, but he gave it to that ugly fool!

Though she felt envious and jealous, Lady Yu didn’t dare harbor any resentment towards the old master.

After all, with Ugly Slave being her downstream, even if the merits gained aren’t much, she can still earn a portion. She sways elegantly forward, grabs Ugly Slave, and says, "Little thing, your golden opportunity has arrived.

Look there, that’s the new guy, the Elder Immortal says he’s the protector of the Leisure Sect and used to know you well. Now, as long as you can successfully develop him into your downstream and extract intelligence from him to convert into merits, you’ll get a share!

But if you’re not capable and can’t open his mouth, letting someone else get ahead, then some of the merits will be deducted, making it difficult even to drink water."

Having just adapted to his eerie identity, Ugly Slave took a clear look, and his tiny eyes instantly widened—heck! Isn’t that Three Protector Qi Baijun?

The Leisure Sect is indeed doomed, even this little guy is brought over for labor, how could the Sixth Elder and the others like the other Protectors, Hall Masters, and Altar Masters have any way out?

"Merit... haha, Qi Baijun meets his day today!" Ugly Slave eyes filled with greed from riding on Qi Baijun’s head, the independent Three Protector could utter anything to earn merit, this was an incredible bargain!

He thanked Lady Yu, then went on to thank the old master, and only then did he assess Qi Baijun at his side.

Upon noticing the opponent had not yet fully transformed into an eerie being, Ugly Slave understood perfectly well that just killing him would end everything, for no matter how powerful eerie beings are, they couldn’t revive a corporeal vessel that had vanished completely.

But why should he have to?
