Jiang Weishan is a graduate of Dao School in Donghua this year. He was once a student in the special training class at Dao School and even attended Body Refinement courses with Zhou Bai under the guidance of Teacher Kuang Tu. Currently, he has become a member of the Night Military Investigation Department in Donghua City, specifically tasked with handling various mutations and distortion phenomena within the city. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0velFire.ɴet After the cultivators of the Heavenly Department and Plague Department in Donghua City suffered heavy blows from Zhou Bai, the pressure on these local investigators of Donghua City increased sharply, and their work became busier. And after the Heavenly Arena projection incident, the Sky Flipping Sect has been fully spreading the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, so the work for these investigators has grown more frequent. Both Jiaojiao, the Controller behind Donghua City's curtains, and the hierarchy of the heavenly court have issued strict orders to fully suppress the influence of the Sky Flipping Sect and stop the spread of the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, supposedly because these techniques gradually induce madness and lead one towards mutation. Today, Jiang Weishan together with his predecessor Yu Gang, specially disguised as ordinary people to attend the ceremony of the Sky Flipping Sect, aiming to cooperate inside and outside to catch all the sect's followers at the ceremony in one fell swoop. Yu Gang, standing beside him, is a rugged-faced middle-aged man, who at the moment transmits his voice: "Not many people have come, it seems that this batch of Sky Flipping Sect followers also choose their victims carefully, deceiving only those who are at their wits' end." Jiang Weishan nodded secretly and transmitted his voice: "I don't know how many more members of the Sky Flipping Sect there are in the city besides them, hopefully after capturing them this time, we can take them out together." He gazed at Du Lan on the stage, whose demonic words were deceiving the crowd. The other always gave him a peculiar feeling, especially those indifferent eyes, as if looking at the people below the stage like food. Not just Du Lan, but the dozen or so followers of the Sky Flipping Sect scattered around also gave him a strange feeling of alienation and intimidation. Du Lan on stage watched as the crowd in front gradually stirred, observing the growing desires ignited in their eyes, he smiled slightly: "Now, activate the power within you, the chance to change your fate, to change your future is right before you." "You only need to muster a little courage, as long as you take your first step, the future will be completely different." Du Lan waved his hand, and his companions behind him already started handing out booklets of the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques to everyone present. "The Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques being distributed to you now are secret manuals personally created by the Sky Flipping Sect Leader. The techniques within are very easy to grasp, even those with no foundation, as long as they study hard, can slowly stimulate the power of the demonic bloodline within them, seizing their fate." "Most people can even activate the demonic bloodline on the spot, and for those with slightly worse talent, it will take a few days or months to obtain the power of the demonic bloodline." Du Lan opened his arms, his face filled with fanaticism, and said: "No need for cultivation resources, no need for Daoist scriptures or prescriptions, and no pills, as long as you are willing, you can gain power! This is human instinct! It is a right we are born with!" Watching the audience below flip through the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, seriously studying them, Du Lan's mouth curled into a smile, thinking: 'I wonder how many will die next, and how many new kin will be born...' Feeling the increasingly fervent atmosphere around him, Jiang Weishan gazed at the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques in his hand, unable to suppress a surge of curiosity within: "What exactly is recorded in this Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques? Why do people turn into monsters after reading it?" Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Jiang Weishan did not flip through the booklet in his hand, but this instantly made him distinct from those around who were earnestly reading the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, attracting the attention of Du Lan and others. Faced with the cold eyes sweeping over him, Jiang Weishan had no choice but to open the booklet in his hand, but he tried his best to keep his eyes on the ground, avoiding looking at the contents of the booklet. But the peripheral vision of his eyes always made him inadvertently see some vague images on the booklet. 'It seems to be a person drawn?' 'What exactly is drawn?' Finally, Jiang Weishan couldn't resist glancing and saw a blurred silhouette on the booklet. That silhouette looked somewhat familiar, but it was just a silhouette, with no visible features. Jiang Weishan felt his chest start to itch slightly, instinctively scratching, but found his body becoming a bit stiff. When he looked back at the booklet, he found that the silhouette seemed to have turned slightly. The air around him became increasingly quiet, and everything around seemed to gradually fade away, yet faint hoarse sounds seemed to come from within him. Jiang Weishan felt his body begin to stiffen, and in just a few seconds, he was unable to turn his neck or move his gaze. It's as if another will inside him awakened, taking control of his body, forcing him to stare at the booklet, watching the silhouette slowly turn around. As the silhouette slowly turned, a great fear rose from Jiang Weishan's heart, as if once he fully saw the face of that silhouette, something extremely terrifying would happen. At that moment, a transmitted voice surged into his ears, Jiang Weishan's body jolted, the surrounding sound returned to his ears, and his body regained mobility. Jiang Weishan quickly closed the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, yet faintly, he seemed to still have seen the final turning guise of that silhouette, it was a man with a determined look, a figure countless people had seen in the Heavenly Arena projection, the Sky Flipping Sect Leader... 'Li Xiuzhu?' Jiang Weishan's heart skipped a beat: 'How did he leave a silhouette within the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, such that a mere silhouette almost controlled me? His cultivation truly reached a ghostly and godlike level...' Jiang Weishan turned to his companion Yu Gang, who said with a solemn face: "Are you alright? This booklet is very eerie, don't look at it." Jiang Weishan nodded and glanced around. Somewhere amid reading the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, countless men and women, young and old, their faces gradually displayed strange smiles, Jiang Weishan could feel a cruel and cunning atmosphere gradually emanating from them. He did not realize it was the demonic bloodline within individuals being gradually stimulated. Du Lan laughed wildly: "Feel the power within your bloodline! Release your true nature, and be your true self! Just ..." The next moment, he saw Du Lan's body suddenly swell, seemingly indicating that something unknown beneath the human form was struggling to break free, revealing its true form. There was a crisp popping sound as Du Lan's skin shattered layer by layer, revealing a body full of shells beneath it.
