People always need to have some persistence.
To do some things and not do others.
If this game truly is one from a previous life, Zhang Ze would first save a few more files.
Then he'd pat the shoulder of this warden.
Chatting casually with him, gaining reputation, and tricking him into bringing some items over.
Afterwards, formally starting this quest, picking up equipment, finding hidden information, and uncovering side quests.
He would even drop the disguise and try out the extreme stealth route.
Which wall can glitch you out of the map.
Once the achievements of this quest are completed, he'd reload a file and continue towards the good ending.
But this isn't a game, even though Zhang Ze carries a system in his pocket.
The system will reward him.
But if it's not a game, then it's not a game.
Because Chen Qin's little hand was soft.
His Grandpa Wang's tea, swiped from the Pavilion Master, was bitter.
Every morning, the rhythmic sound of the master's iron rod scraping on the ground was there.
Lin Feng's mouth was hard.
The wind of the Sword Pavilion was clean.
Therefore.
This world is real.
Therefore.
These demons should die.
Therefore.
Zhang Ze now only wants to blow this place up.
Lin Feng, who had been pretending to be a corpse for half a day, suddenly sprang up from the ground, thrusting a sword into the warden's chest.
Zhang Ze invested all his accumulated attribute points and cultivation.
Qi Cultivation Seventh-Layer, but it's enough.
Sword Stepping on the Qing River.
This is a basic swordsmanship for disciples of the Sword Pavilion. Zhang Ze, who was used to explosive tactics, hadn't used it much.
But now, standing upright, using the sword to cut down evil is most delightful.
Clear waves vast, Sword Intent like water, Zhang Ze slashed three people consecutively.
When he raised his hand again, there were no living people outside the pit, except for Lin Feng.
"Unlucky."
After shedding his disguise, Zhang Ze cupped his hands towards Brother Lin.
"Brother Lin, please protect me."
"I need to do something significant."
"Rest assured, unless I die, no one can step into this place."
A Black Sword appeared in Lin Feng's hand, a kind Zhang Ze had never seen before.
The defiance returned once again to Lin Feng's face.
Closing his eyes, entering the system, he directly opens the exchange list.
Blowing up such a large stronghold cannot rely solely on a few Five Ghosts.
He needs the system to exchange something big.
Damn it.
Let them see what the light of the Righteous Path means.
....
Spiritual Snake Taoist did not know what had just happened in the dungeon, he was still stroking the Spiritual Snake statue.
Just like stroking his lover.
Feeling the cold coming from his palm, Spiritual Snake Taoist felt refreshed.
Because this cold was gently nourishing his Poison Skill.
Though the cold was insignificant, it moved his bottleneck that had been dormant for many years.
Spiritual Snake Taoist thought maybe in a few hundred years, under the nourishment of this cold, the Nascent Soul could transform, and stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm wouldn't be impossible.
Even Refining Void, Integration, Mahayana wouldn't be far off.
Maybe it was because of the dense Spiritual Qi in the room, or perhaps just a brief oversight in life.
He didn't notice a sneaky Earth Spirit Little Ghost crawling out of the ground.
That Little Ghost held a stack of talisman paper.
The Little Ghost secretly threw these talisman papers one by one onto those Spirit Stones.
When even the Earth Spirit Little Ghost could not resist the pull of the Spiritual Snake statue and dissipated.
Spiritual Snake Taoist raised his head to see the last Yellow Talisman slowly floating down to the ground.
Boom.
Pale blue flames burned the Yellow Talisman, igniting the Spirit Stones.
A hundred years of accumulation at the Spiritual Snake Helm, thousands of Spirit Stones exploded simultaneously.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!"
In an instant, Spiritual Snake Taoist's black robe was set aflame, and the blue flame and Spirit Stone fragments bombarded his flesh.
The quantitative change caused a qualitative change, shattering Spiritual Snake Taoist's Golden Body.
But new flesh quickly grew out of Spiritual Snake Taoist's wounds.
This level of explosion was not yet enough to kill a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.
However, it was certainly plenty to shatter that damn statue.
Zhang Ze's initial goal was exactly this.
Those Yellow Talismans were single-use items Zhang Ze exchanged from the system.
Though a bit pricey, they were well worth it.
It's a very annoying talisman.
Dragon Tiger Mountain still refuses to admit this talisman was drawn by one of their Taoists.
This talisman is both useful and useless.
Because it only reacts to Spirit Stones.
But then again, who goes out carrying Spirit Stones all over their body?
In combat, this talisman is completely useless.
But against those who hoard Spirit Stones like hamsters.
Then using just a few of these talismans.
Can instantly wipe away the accumulation of centuries.
Won't kill them, no matter how many of these talismans can't kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But absolutely strikes at their heart.
[Spiritual Snake statue completely destroyed, hidden task infiltration disappeared, Unawakened Spiritual Snake task ended, cannot be reopened]
Upon hearing the system prompt, Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Good that it exploded, the Old Ascender must be going mad by now.
Zhang Ze grasped the Sword Scabbard Jade Pendant lent to him by Mei'Er.
This was the ace he always relied on, secretly told to him by Chen Qin.
"Ten Directions Sword Array."
Golden sword array expanded from Zhang Ze's center outward, enveloping Zhang Ze and Lin Feng, also covering the civilians in the pit.
Almost simultaneously, an old man looking like a dry ghost and covered in green scales crashed against the sword array.
Spiritual Snake Taoist's hands transformed into snakes, each move carried the Sect Master's might.
The Poison Skill at Nascent Soul Stage far exceeded the imagination.
But the golden Ten Directions Sword Array did not move an inch.
"Moron, can you come in?" Zhang Ze showed a middle finger to the Spiritual Snake Taoist.
"You little brat!!! I'll peel your skin!!!"
Spiritual Snake Taoist had completely abandoned his dignified demeanor.
He crashed into the array with his head, his heart filled with killing intent.
He couldn't understand too many things.
He didn't even know how this ant had infiltrated.
"Scared the hell out of me, do you recognize what this is?"
Zhang Ze waved the Jade Pendant in his hand.
"See this 'Chen' character? Our sect leader carved it himself."
"This is called the Ten Directions Sword Array, understand?"
"Do you know about the Sword Sect's mountain-protecting array?"
"This small array is called the Ten Directions Sword Array."
"It can withstand a full power strike from the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"What is your cultivation compared to our Sect Leader, idiot."
"Small Nascent Soul, hilarious, hilarious."
"Are your two hands transforming into snakes? Why do they look like maggots?"
"Now listen, do you hear anything?"
Faintly, there was the sound of explosions and collapses from afar.
"I told you all demon paths are idiots."
"Putting so many things that love to explode in your homes."
"An explosion right away."
"I said it today, I'm going to blow this place up completely."
"Do you hear me?"
"Blow! It! Up!"
Spiritual Snake Taoist actually couldn't hear what Zhang Ze was saying anymore.
Because everything of his had been destroyed by this little brat who hadn't even reached Foundation Establishment.
All destroyed.
His Spiritual Snake statue.
His Demon Helm stronghold.
His century-old wealth.
His distant celestial path.
All destroyed.
"Have the guts to hide inside this turtle shell for a lifetime!!!"
"I'll kill you! Kill everyone beside you!!!"
Zhang Ze chuckled slightly, bringing the pendant closer to the edge of the sword array.
Almost pressing it to Spiritual Snake Taoist's face.
"Heh, you think I enjoy chatting with you."
"I'm afraid you'll run away."
"Sister Mei'Er, did you hear what the Old Ascender said just now?"
But there was no sound from Sister Mei'Er through the Jade Pendant.
"Rest assured, he can't run."
An elderly voice came from the Jade Pendant.
After receiving Zhang Ze's message, Mei'Er immediately found the Pavilion Master.
At the same time, all villagers in the dungeon were transported to a safe place by a sword array.
