"Ancestor Long Wu" was exceedingly pleased, a wise gleam flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice.
"Youngsters, you never expected this, did you? I've been spouting nonsense all along, just to stall for time!"
Stall for time?
This...
The expressions of the "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" all turned grim.
Thinking carefully, it seemed to be true.
"You're despicable!"
"You're shameless!"
"You're vulgar!"
...
The "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" flew into a rage, unleashing a torrent of curses upon "Ancestor Long Wu."
"Ancestor Long Wu" roared with laughter, immensely satisfied.
"Ginger is still spicier with age! You younglings, you're too green to play mind games with me, hahaha..."
Hearing this, the "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" grew even more furious, each one practically jumping out of their skin.
Only the leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" frowned, looking at "Ancestor Long Wu" and posing a "soul-searching question."
"Um, why were you stalling for time?"
Good question!
This was an excellent question indeed!
"Ancestor Long Wu" froze.
He didn't know how to answer.
He truly didn't know how to answer.
Right, why stall for time?
Uh...
Well, as a "righteous character," wasn't stalling for time during a life-or-death crisis a standard procedure?
As for why stall for time?
Can't you just ignore these "minor details"!
The entire secret chamber fell silent, the atmosphere tinged with a slight awkwardness.
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator's" face turned incredibly dark.
He turned and glared fiercely at the other "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators."
"He's an idiot, and you followed him like idiots. You've utterly disgraced the name of Heavenly Dragon Dharma King!"
The "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" felt incredibly wronged.
This wasn't their fault; they could only blame "Ancestor Long Wu" for being so contagiously foolish!
Don't fools excel at making others into fools, and then defeating them with foolishness in the dimension of foolishness?
So, it really wasn't their fault!
Just then, "Ancestor Long Wu" spoke, breaking the awkward and heavy atmosphere.
"Oh, I just thought of something else. Heavenly Dragon Dharma King has been dead for a long time, so you can't possibly be him!"
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator's" face darkened further, veins bulging on his forehead.
"So, you're stalling for time again?"
"Ancestor Long Wu" stuck out his tongue and grinned, appearing somewhat "coy."
"Heh, caught again, is it that obvious?"
It was blindingly obvious, incredibly so!
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" completely lost it.
What on earth was he doing? Why was he wasting his breath on an imbecile?
He was tired. Let everything be destroyed!
Let them all be destroyed!
"Everyone, heed my command! Activate the 666 Clone Possession Great Method!"
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" roared.
The other "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" dared not delay, immediately taking their positions and forming an arcane formation, trapping "Ancestor Long Wu" firmly in the center.
"Haste!" m..oΓg
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" bellowed.
"Haste! Haste! Haste!"
The other "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" chanted incantations with their hands, roaring loudly.
Streams of black mist and smoke rose from their bodies, alien and evil.
Simultaneously, the "Soul-Possession Nail" inserted into "Ancestor Long Wu's" lower abdomen erupted fiercely.
A large amount of black smoke surged upwards.
"Ah!"
"Ancestor Long Wu" cried out, then said with immense regret.
"Oh no, oh no, I stalled for so long, I actually forgot to pull out this soul-nail!"
The "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators"
彡（—＿—；）彡
Super-sweat!
Were all their meticulous planning and schemes against this "twenty-five" truly necessary?
There was absolutely no sense of accomplishment, was there?
Whoosh!
Vast amounts of black smoke rapidly enveloped "Ancestor Long Wu."
"Ancestor Long Wu" struggled, but it was too late. He was quickly submerged by the black smoke.
Like a drowning man, he thrashed a few more times.
"Wait, I have last words: Heavenly Dragon Dharma King indeed possesses remarkable skills, with subtle clues and plans laid over ten thousand years. I am not wronged to lose to you! Ancestors of Nine Dragon Peak, I truly did my best..."
Thump!
One of the "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground.
Where in the world did you do your best?
Even as a "twenty-five," couldn't you at least have a shred of dignity when acting human!
"Don't get distracted, cast with all your might!"
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" commanded in a low voice.
All the "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" dared not slacken, gathering their focus and fully powering the formation.
Whoosh!
Vast quantities of black smoke, rolling and surging, completely drowned "Ancestor Long Wu."
In the center of the secret chamber, a massive black cocoon of light formed.
The black light cocoon exuded a terrifying evil aura, and within it, one could vaguely discern the non-male, non-female "Dharma Body of Heavenly Dragon Dharma King," inspiring awe and dread.
Bang!
After an unknown period, a great explosion resounded.
"Ancestor Long Wu" broke free from the cocoon.
His pupils were pitch black, exuding a chilling evil aura, identical to those "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators."
Success!
The "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators" were overjoyed.
The most crucial step in the sneak attack on "Nine Dragon Peak," "possessing Ancestor Long Wu," had finally succeeded!
Heh heh, from now on, the entire "Nine Dragon Peak" would fall completely into the hands of "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King."
Not only that, but the "Clone Army Faction" would also gain a "Divine Soul General"!
"Divine Soul Ancestors" were no trifling matter; they were all cultivators with profound power and deep foundations, uh... "Ancestor Long Wu" was an exception!
Although the "666 Clone Great Method" was potent, "Heavenly Dragon Dharma King" had never dared to target "Divine Soul Ancestors." All current "possession targets" had been "Nascent Soul cultivators."
This time, "possessing Ancestor Long Wu" held extraordinary significance!
This was a small step for the "clones," but a giant leap for the entire "ten-thousand-year grand plan."
"How... how do you feel?"
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" saw that "Black-Eyed Ancestor Long Wu" was standing there, head lowered, silent, his state seeming somewhat amiss, and couldn't help but ask.
According to the normal rules of the "Clone Army," the stronger the individual, the higher their status.
"Black-Eyed Ancestor Long Wu" was a "Divine Soul cultivator," his cultivation being the strongest among all the "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivators," so the "leader" position rightfully belonged to him.
The "leader" was crucial; there absolutely couldn't be any problems!
The leading "Black-Eyed Clone Cultivator" expressed great concern.
"Are you... alright?"
At this moment, "Black-Eyed Ancestor Long Wu," who had remained silent, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Jie jie jie..."
" Huo huo huo..."
" Wa ka ka ka..."
" Mie ha ha ha..."
...
