C300 Destruction of the Base!(2)

"What does this mean?"

Despair and curiosity were vividly etched in Lee Zi's eyes.

It was time to put on a performance.

Mr. Qin, noticing that the black-robed man didn't intervene, dropped his guard.

Since Lee Zi was doomed anyway, there was no harm in revealing the truth.

"It's quite straightforward. We've obtained some soul essence, and our experiment involves implanting this essence into your soul."

"Once the soul essence matures, it will completely take your place..."

This confirmed Chu Yi's suspicions.

Yet, Chu Yi was still taken aback by their audacity. Accomplishing such a feat was not difficult in the Immortal Demon World, where beings possessed far greater power than those on Earth.

Even the revered Sky War God was but an ant compared to the formidable beings with such capabilities in the Immortal Demon World.

And now, these mere mortals had managed to achieve something similar.

How could Chu Yi not be astonished?

Indeed, in comparison to the formidable beings of the Immortal Demon World, these individuals were just ordinary people.

"Did you extract these soul essences yourselves?"

If so, their methods were disturbingly advanced.

Extracting the soul's essence was an entirely different process from possession.

Possession, after all, was not too challenging for those with sufficient strength.

But extracting the soul's essence...

That required not just power, but also a profound understanding of the soul's mysteries.

Such beings were exceedingly rare, even in the Immortal Demon World.

Chu Yi couldn't fathom that Earth could harbor such fearsome entities!

However, Mr. Qin simply shook his head: "No, that's not the case."

"We've been researching this area, but it's complex and we haven't made any significant breakthroughs yet."

"These soul essences..."

Mr. Qin approached the box, gazing at the transparent substance within, his eyes filled with a dreamy haze.

"We can't separate the soul's essence, not even the soul itself."

Indeed, if they could directly extract souls, there would be no need for such complexity.

Why go through all the preliminary steps if they could simply remove Lee Zi's soul and replace it with the soul essence?

"These soul sources were willingly condensed by them," Chu Yi realized.

"It's essentially their racial talent..."

Racial talent...

Condensing resources.

Of course, the most critical aspect was still them!

Suddenly, Chu Yi had an epiphany.

"Then, have you already succeeded before?"

Mr. Qin's smile was one of immense pride and joy.

"Indeed, those individuals within your government..."

"Cough, cough..."

Mr. Qin seemed somewhat intimidated by the black-robed man.

Chu Yi could understand why; the black-robed man's power was excessively strong, likely making him one of the elite members of the Revolutionary League.

The man's cough was a clear signal; he didn't want Mr. Qin to reveal too much.

"I've been careless..."

Mr. Qin appeared to realize something at that moment.

Although Lee Zi was doomed, what if there were unforeseen complications?

Those who had been possessed by them now held high-ranking positions. If they were exposed, the ramifications would be enormous.

"I've got it!"

Lee Zi exclaimed, her voice tinged with excitement.

"The providers of these soul sources are from the demon race, aren't they?"

Mr. Qin paused, taken aback.

He then glanced at the black-robed man, who remained silent.

Mr. Qin understood the unspoken rule: as long as the identities of those individuals weren't explicitly mentioned, it was fine.

"You're quite astute..."

Indeed, he was astute!

How else could he have coaxed them into revealing so much?

But what was truly key was that their conversation had led Chu Yi to think of certain individuals.

Mrs. Yanran and the teacher named Cangmu!

Initially, when Chu Yi encountered Mrs. Yanran, he sensed a hint of demonic energy but believed she was collaborating with the Demon Clan.

Under Chu Yi's perception, Mrs. Yanran had the essence of the Demon Clan but was still human.

He had also sensed the soul aura of Mrs. Yanran.

Her soul didn't seem to be one that was possessed.

It was naturally harmonious, perfectly compatible with her physical body.

Therefore, Chu Yi had never considered the possibility of possession.

Regarding Cangmu, Chu Yi had assumed he had simply sided with the Demon Clan.

Now, it appeared the situation was not as straightforward as he had thought.

The Demon Clan is naturally distrustful, so it's impossible for them to trust humans.

Yet, when it comes to Cangmu, those top-tier demons show complete faith.

This alone raises many questions.

Chu Yi hadn't considered it before, but after witnessing the experiment and listening to Mr. Qin's account, he finally grasped the full picture.

It turns out that both Mrs. Yanran and Cangmu are actually members of the Demon Clan!

They were the ones who performed the modifications here, successfully deceiving the human experts.

Otherwise, how could they have infiltrated the human world?

But Chu Yi's thoughts went further.

He recalled that these individuals had mentioned that the subjects of their modifications were old men.

If they were just ordinary old men, ordinary people, they wouldn't have bothered.

That would be a waste.

But what about the human elite?

Exactly. Many of the human elite are quite advanced in age, and considering the logic of the situation,

Chu Yi was convinced that they had already modified or taken possession of many human leaders!

With this realization, Chu Yi took a deep breath.

The human elite often interact with the War Gods. If they were possessed, then the War Gods among humans would surely detect it.

But if they were using this kind of method...

Although Chu Yi's power pales in comparison to that of the human elite, his perceptiveness far exceeds that of the so-called War Gods.

If Chu Yi hadn't noticed anything amiss, then naturally, the human War Gods wouldn't have either.

Therefore...

Danger, immense and unparalleled danger!

What Chu Yi most urgently needed to know was how many spies the Revolutionary League had planted within the upper echelons of humanity.

If it were only a few, the danger, while real, wouldn't threaten the overall stability of mankind.

But if there were many...

The thought of the consequences was too frightening to entertain.

Seeing Lee Zi's face, a mix of shock and bewilderment, Mr. Qin seemed to have resigned himself to the outcome.

Indeed, such research would shock anyone who learned of it.

"Well, I suppose I've done a good deed by letting you in on these secrets before your demise."

"Now, it's time for you to depart this world..."

His performance was over; there was nothing left to cling to.

Mr. Qin couldn't help but feel it was a shame that Lee Zi, such a top-tier talent, was in this situation, but there was nothing to be done about it.

"Kill her..."

As soon as the words were spoken, several Diamond Level beings around him sprang into action.

These were Diamond Level experts, including three of the highest caliber. Had Lee Zi remained her former self, she would have been utterly overpowered.

Only by unleashing a powerful battle body, specifically the Five Elements Battle Body, could she stand a chance.

Otherwise, Lee Zi would stand no chance against these adversaries.

But now, 'Lee Zi' was no longer Lee Zi; she was Chu Yi!

To him, these people...

Were insignificant!

And so, in that moment, Chu Yi struck.

He didn't resort to his immensely powerful techniques of slaughter, but rather to the simple force of his punches and kicks, each infused with a terrifying power.

In the blink of an eye, one of the Diamond Level foes was upon him.

A cunning glint flashed in Chu Yi's eyes. He refrained from unleashing his full strength, not even revealing his true identity.

If he were to unleash his full might, then none of them would stand a chance against him, not even with the addition of the black-robed man.
