Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 642 It was supposed to be just one rat, so how did a whole group of people suddenly appear?

The leading Discipline Black Wizard had a grim expression. After considering for a moment, he made up his mind.

"Kill! They must kill them!"

He gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, like a vengeful demon.

"Our duty as Disciplined Black Witches is to eliminate traitors and villains! If we hesitate and dare not take action just because traitors have fled to other countries, how can we do anything in the future? How will we explain this to the King?"

"On this trip, we not only need to kill that cunning rat, but also eliminate those traitorous spies!"

"As secret agents, it's understandable that they were exposed and captured. But they couldn't withstand the torture, revealed our plans, and even slandered the King—that's a capital offense! Not only must they die, but their relatives and clansmen in Chu will also be implicated!"

Several disciplined black witches hesitated after hearing their leader's words:

"But the Jiang Kingdom has already raised its guard, so it might not be easy for us to kill that Ba Rat and the traitorous spy..."

"Once our identities are exposed and we're targeted by experts from the Jiang Kingdom, it might be difficult to escape!"

"The more difficult it is, the more we must kill!" the leader said in a deep voice. "Only in this way can we demonstrate the power of my Discipline Black Witches! Only in this way can we deter the vile and wicked, so that they dare not cause any more trouble! Only in this way can we warn the secret spies, so that they dare not betray us!"

"Moreover, the more difficult and dangerous the task, the more it will demonstrate our loyalty! Recently, the King has received a divine opportunity. Only by demonstrating our loyalty and ability can we share in this opportunity and rise to prominence with the King!"

Several disciplined black witches nodded in unison, all agreeing with their leader's words.

The leader laughed again at this moment: "Although the Jiang Kingdom has increased its patrols and screenings, we are in the shadows. As long as we don't make a move, they won't be able to discover our identities! That Ba Rat is only at the Lesser Completion of the Heavenly Realm. If we join forces and go all out, we can definitely kill him in an instant! This Ba Rat must be trying to conceal his identity when he infiltrates the Jiang Kingdom. He might even be taking secluded paths to travel... As long as we catch up with him, we will have plenty of opportunities to kill him! As long as we kill him fast enough that the Jiang Kingdom doesn't notice, nothing will happen!"

The leader was full of confidence in killing Shang Lu.

The same applies to the other Disciplined Black Witches.

The only thing that gave the leader and the other disciplined black witches a headache was how to kill those few traitorous secret agents.

"According to intelligence from our undercover agents, the traitorous secret agents have been sent to the prison in Peng County."

That place was heavily guarded; forcing your way in was out of the question. The only option was to sneak in!
"Once we kill Ba Shu, we'll head to Peng County seat, contact our informants, and find a way to infiltrate the prison! When we kill, we must be quick, accurate, and ruthless!"

The leader then laid out the entire plan of action for the next phase.

As for how to infiltrate the prison and eliminate the traitorous undercover agents once he arrives in Peng County, he doesn't have a good idea yet.

Let's kill the rat first!
The other disciplined black witches, seeing that their leader had made up his mind and even had a general plan of action, said no more and bowed in agreement.

At that moment, the leader took out a bone bell made from a bloodied skeleton.

He placed his left index finger on the bone bell, chanted incantations rapidly, and made hand seals with his right hand, causing streams of witchcraft energy to surge forth.

In an instant, countless pheasants and rabbits were caught by the witch's energy and dragged to the top of the bone bell from the surrounding weeds.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

Amidst a chilling sound, the wild rabbits and pheasants captured by the witch's magic had their necks snapped.

Countless drops of blood gushed out and fell onto the blood-stained bone bell.

The bone bell seemed to possess a life of its own, greedily absorbing the hot blood, not letting a single drop fall to the ground.

At the same time, strange wisps of bloody mist surged from the bone bell, enveloping the rabbits and pheasants. In just a few breaths, they were sucked into desiccated corpses. The bloody mist did not dissipate; instead, it surged and enveloped the surroundings.

With the blood mist supported by the bone bell, the fluctuations of witch energy here will not be detected by anyone.

Only then did the leader give instructions to his subordinates:
"Xingling, find out where that rat has escaped to!"

The Discipline Black Wizard, known as the Punisher, was a burly man with a strange incantation tattooed on his left cheek.

He bowed and accepted the order in a low voice.

Then, he took out a map of the Jiang Kingdom drawn on human skin, followed by a Gu jar. He chanted a spell and released a blood-red mosquito from it.

After circling above the human skin map, the blood mosquito landed on one of the spots.

The gazes of the disciplined black witches all turned towards them.

"Is this the northern part of Peng County? Why is that Ba Rat going north instead of circling back to Ba Kingdom from the west?" A disciplined black shaman frowned and muttered, his tone full of doubt.

Another Disciplined Black Wizard speculated, "I heard that the Tai Mo Academy in Jiang Kingdom is about to hold a lecture on the ancient celestial calamity. Could it be that he wants to sneak in and listen to the lecture?"

The leader also made this guess.

He immediately sneered: "Listen to a lecture? He'd have to be lucky enough to do that!"

He glanced at the map, his expression quickly turning serious: "The closer we get to the Tai Mo Academy, the tighter the patrols and security will be in the Jiang Kingdom. We must take care of this rat before he leaves Peng County!"

The disciplined black witches all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they had no objections, the leader immediately gave a fierce order: "Set off immediately, catch up with Bashu, and kill him!" With a wave of his hand, he put away the bone bell and led a group of disciplined black witches toward the direction of Shanglu.

These disciplined black witches were indeed quite capable; even their ability to control artifacts and fly through the air did not arouse the vigilance of the patrolling cultivators of the Jiang Kingdom.

Two days later, they tracked down the "spiritual pattern fluctuations" of the Impermanence Decree on the outskirts of Peng County.

However, just when they were full of enthusiasm and thought they could kill Shang Lu, they were all dumbfounded.

They did not see the lone "barbarian".

What you see is a group of nearly a hundred monks.

"Xingling, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is Bashu really here?"

The leader looked at Xing Ling, his eyes filled with astonishment and surprise.

Xing Ling stared at the map made of human skin in his hand, astonished, "That's right, the spiritual energy fluctuations are coming from here, how could this be?"

The leader immediately realized what was happening and said through gritted teeth, "This bastard is not only cunning but also very bold. Instead of sneaking around alone, he mingled with the group, trying to use others to cover himself up..."

The other Discipline Black Witches also realized the situation and felt a great headache when they saw the group of nearly a hundred monks.

"My lord, what should we do now?!"

They looked again at the leader, waiting for him to make a decision.

(Taking my child to the eye exam took up most of the day, so I owe 2,000 words. I'll make up for it tomorrow or the day after... Kids these days are getting nearsighted so early, it's really a headache.)
