This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 180: Where Can You Hide After Gaining X-Ray Vision?

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Where Can You Hide After Gaining X-Ray Vision?

Wan Tinggui felt a pang of pity for the girl in front of her who was foolishly smitten with Liang Yi. Her own mother had been the same, gazing at the man’s retreating figure with that kind of look, only to end up in tragic loss.

Through brief interactions, she realized that Su Youyi was completely fixated on her senior brother, to the point that the ultimate purpose of her cultivation was for Liang Yi.

But the deeper the love, the more cruel the hurt when betrayed.

"Don’t worry, little Youyi, I will definitely save you!" Wan Tinggui stared at Su Youyi with fiery determination, frightening the latter into timidly shrinking her shoulders.

She must have seen wrong just now; could it be that this Chu Family’s young miss was interested in her?

If Liang Yi found out about this, setting aside the bizarre situation of a Saintess suddenly vying for his wife, the insanity of the logic would be the first thing for Liang Yi to scoff at. There has never been a normal person who infiltrated a villainous organization!

While Liang Yi and others quietly awaited the outcome, Qingliang City was in complete upheaval.

Every online player knew that the last major event before the end of the beta was starting, with even a notice on the panel that the outcome could influence the plot’s direction after the public beta. This task that could genuinely drive the story’s progression ignited the players’ enthusiasm.

Once the public beta starts, they could boast about how they influenced the story’s direction through tasks, a glory incomparable after the public beta.

Players swarmed through the streets and alleys of Qingliang City like locusts.

After such a long time in the beta, the players’ familiarity with Qingliang City had even surpassed the locals who’d lived there for over a decade!

Even Wu Yangshuo was throwing caution to the wind this time, dispatching all his official enforcers and Shadow Guards to monitor the Abnormal People, pressuring those who crossed paths with them with the reputation of Xuanzhou and the Immortal Dynasty. If that didn’t work, then it was time to start doling out charges.

So, places where players couldn’t casually enter due to not being high enough level, now welcomed them freely—it felt amazing to flex their connections.

This was the players’ grand celebration before the beta ended!

Different from the previous hunt, players could now identify original residents as members of the Devouring Spirit Sect with just a single glance.

Green names were certainly not members; yellow names probably were, with a small portion resulting from lowered favorability due to players’ previous independent actions.

As for those who were red-named, rebelling against the Mystic Bureau upon hearing the wind of change, or like Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei, who were directly hostile to the Devouring Spirit Sect, things were even simpler.

"Officer, him, he’s with the Devouring Spirit Sect!"

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei split up, each followed by a Shadow Guard, began searching through the streets, and soon caught one on the main street.

It was someone selling steamed buns.

The person from the Devouring Spirit Sect, whose identity was blatantly revealed by Bai Xiaomo, changed his expression drastically, unable to believe that his disguise had been seen through by an ordinary person. Abandoning any hope that the other party was bluffing, he shed his disguise and a fierce and wide-ranging Daoist skill materialized in his hands, hurling it towards Bai Xiaomo.

Bai Xiaomo dodged symbolically—if he could avoid it, he would; if not, death meant early respawn. He couldn’t handle a monster of over thirty levels anyway; the person had already been caught, and it was left to the Mystic Bureau to handle.

Before the Shadow Guard behind him could draw his sword and leap forward, the signal had already gone out, and a large number of Mystic Bureau personnel were already closing in.

Some cleared the crowds while others chased and blocked the exits.

The citizens of Qingliang City were well aware of the Mystic Bureau’s actions these past few days, so they were prepared for such situations. As for the loss? In the end, there would be compensation.

Scenarios like this happened all over Qingliang City, whether in brothels or taverns, inns or mansions, battles erupted everywhere.

The players’ methods for inspections were also diverse:

"Mochi mochi?"

"Open up, Mystic Bureau’s express delivery is here!"

"Old Wang, I know you’re in there, hurry up and open the door!"

"Community care is here, let uncle measure your temperature!"

...

Players were frequently reporting updates on the forum, and signs of monster-stealing began emerging among players and guilds across various districts. Though the basic rewards after completing the task were the same for everyone, those who found the mission targets would receive much richer rewards and even a chance to join the Mystic Bureau and gain favor from Boss Liang.

Under normal circumstances, the disturbances caused by the search would be minimal, but the searchers are players. Expecting players to follow the rules and complete the mission properly? It’s already impressive that they didn’t kick the doors in or climb over walls.

Players who had a hard time settling into the game were now thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Such rapid and efficient search methods brought about a great deal of gratifying results.

Agents from the Mystic Bureau reported these findings to Ying Xi and Wu Yangshuo, as well as to those high-ranking officials of the Immortal Dynasty.

After learning that it was the Abnormal People who had achieved this great feat, everyone was somewhat puzzled. How could a group of ordinary Abnormal People accurately locate members of the Devouring Spirit Sect? Could they possess some special ability that had not yet been discovered?

There was also a bit of unwillingness. Knowing it would be this easy to break the situation, they wondered why they even bothered and went to the trouble of finding Liang Yi!

Liang Yi just smiled and remained silent, thinking that if these idiots tried to handle it, it would all be in vain.

As the search progressed district by district, the Devouring Spirit Sect members had fewer places to hide.

Liang Yi looked at Wan Tinggui leisurely sipping tea beside him, who was even now getting along splendidly with her junior sister. Despite it being the Devouring Spirit Sect members who were being hunted, she seemed utterly unconcerned.

"What the hell is this woman thinking? Could she be planning to sell out all her teammates to save her own life?" Liang Yi couldn’t quite figure her out.

No matter how much he guessed, he couldn’t imagine that the Devouring Spirit Sect’s Saintess might be the person most eager to destroy the Sect.

In Liang Yi’s mind, after all, there was already one traitor in the Devouring Spirit Sect. It couldn’t be such a coincidence to come across another one, especially one who was a Saintess.

In his experience, the last organization that was full of undercover agents eventually became so pathetic that the leader almost had the word "miserable" written on his thigh.

However, Liang Yi wasn’t worried that under his and his junior sister’s watch, the other side could stir up any trouble. He was just waiting to see what tricks she would pull.

Wan Tinggui, in high spirits, was chatting enthusiastically with Su Youyi. This was a truly bountiful harvest. With a few more such coups in the future, who would worry about the Devouring Spirit Sect not being destroyed?

Now, the Devouring Spirit Sect members hiding in Qingliang City were all in a state of panic, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow. Two high-rankers in the city, one Saintess and one Vermilion Bird envoy, were uncontactable. Without a central pillar of support, they were lost; even the Sole Cultivator of the Fifth Realm was personally killed by Wu Yangshuo.

The Sect initially brought one from Seventh Realm, one from Sixth Realm, and three from Fifth Realm, a lineup that could not be said to be weak.

But now, the Vermilion Bird envoy of the Seventh Realm had disappeared, the Azure Dragon envoy of Sixth Realm and two cultivators of Fifth Realm died directly in the Secret Realm, leaving the last Cultivator of the Fifth Realm dead as well.

In less than a day’s time, the majority of the Devouring Spirit Sect believers hiding in Qingliang City were rooted out by the players. Regardless of how perfectly they disguised their identities or how hidden their locations, none could escape the eyes of the cheating players.

Alas, He Zhiqing had already returned to the Complete Heaven Sect with his people, and Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool had followed suit, leaving Liang Yi unable to witness this interesting situation. Still, he received the report from the inspector.

An Abnormal Person had uncovered a formidable enemy.

Liang Yi saw it was none other than Ying Tianxing. Good lad, the second name on my little notebook. Leave it to me; I’m about to cross off your name.

The eager Liang Yi followed the inspector to the scene, where Ying Tianxing had already been immobilized by others and was unable to escape. But as the son of Ying Xi, others were hesitant to really strike him down.

"Liang Yi! Liang Yi!" Upon seeing Liang Yi’s arrival, Ying Tianxing’s emotions flared, and he forcefully broke free from the Mystic Bureau’s personnel, his eyes ferociously charging towards Liang Yi.

Liang Yi was puzzled, he had no grudges with this guy, so why was he targeting him from their first meeting? If anything, should be Liang Yi bearing a petty grudge, thinking about bringing him down.

But as Ying Tianxing’s long blade came slashing down, Liang Yi had no choice but to righteously counter-attack.
