Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

124: Dark pattern thunder!“Kill…kill all these damn guys…!”

The Sect Leader of Lingyun roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly rushed to the treasury.

The other Elders and Law Enforcement Disciples continued to pursue Wang Lan and the others.

“Captain, we…it seems we’ve been used!”

A strategist from the Niming Reincarnation Squad said with a grim expression.

“Been used?”

Wang Lan said while breaking through the encirclement.

“Yes!”

“We’re definitely not the only ones eyeing the Lingyun Sect’s treasury! There must be a mastermind behind the scenes!”

“Furthermore, there definitely hasn’t been a traitor in our team! The Sect Master of Lingyun suddenly brought people to surround and kill us, which must be due to the mastermind! They’re using us to attract the Lingyun Sect’s attention, while the mastermind takes the opportunity to seize the Lingyun Sect’s treasury!”

The strategist analyzed in a deep voice.

“So, we’ve been used as pawns?”

Wang Lan’s expression was ugly, his eyes burning with fury.

“That should be the case!”

“I just don’t know who the opponent is exactly? They’re hidden so deeply…!”

The strategist said again.

During this operation, they had no idea of the opponent’s existence.

Only after being used as pawns did he fully realize what was happening.

“Don’t worry about that for now, everyone try to survive first!”

“If we can survive, we’ll go find that mastermind and settle the score!”

Wang Lan suppressed the anger in his heart.

This attempt to seize the Lingyun Sect’s treasury failed, not only were they used as pawns and suffered heavy casualties.

In the subsequent competition among the five Samsara Squads, they would also fall into an absolute disadvantage.

“Yes! We will never let that mastermind off!”

The strategist said coldly.

As a strategist in a Reincarnation team, he had always been the one to use others as pawns, playing them in the palm of his hand.

Now, he was being used as a pawn, becoming cannon fodder to attract the Lingyun Sect’s firepower, which was an absolute humiliation for him.

Especially since they also had to compete with the other four Samsara Squads.

In this situation, how could they possibly win?

Just then…the Sect Leader of Lingyun’s angry roar echoed through the sky.

“Thief, don’t run!”

His voice was like thunder, rumbling loudly.

However, a streak of light in the night sky vanished into the horizon with absolute speed.

“Ah…!”

The Sect Leader of Lingyun watched Wang Teng’s disappearing figure, he was furiously helpless, unable to catch up.

Finally, the Sect Leader of Lingyun turned his angry gaze back to Wang Lan and the other Reincarnators.

“Not good…! The mastermind has escaped, and the Sect Leader of Lingyun has completely turned his attention to us! Run…!”

The strategist shouted urgently.

It was bad enough that the plan to plunder the Lingyun Sect’s treasury failed today, but to also be reduced to another’s pawn was truly suffocating.

“Damn it! Don’t let me find out who you, this despicable guy, are? Otherwise, I will never let you off!”

Wang Lan was also extremely angered; today he truly tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice, losing both his wife and his troops… And at this moment, Wang Teng had already left the Lingyun Sect. After confirming there were no pursuers, he stopped. By this time, it was already dawn.

“Today’s Intel 1: The Manshan Reincarnation Squad has entered the Sunset Mountains, searching for the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning.”

“Location (Click to view)”

“Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning…is also a type of unique lightning!”

Wang Teng’s eyes lit up.

He possessed the Second Tribulation Divine Thunder.

And for the Second Tribulation Divine Thunder to advance, it must devour a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure.

If it devours the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning, which is also a unique lightning, the effect would be even better.

Perhaps it could even allow the Second Tribulation Divine Thunder to evolve into the Third Tribulation Divine Lightning.

“Today’s Intel 2: The Sacred Medicine, purple-essenced dragon blood ganoderma, cultivated for a thousand years by the Feiyun Sect, will mature tomorrow. The Huawu Reincarnation Squad intends to steal it.”

“Location (Click to view)”

“Sacred Medicine…purple-essenced dragon blood ganoderma!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed with a terrifying light.

Legend has it that the purple-essenced dragon blood ganoderma was formed from the essence blood of an ancient Divine Dragon, its entire body enveloped in a misty purple Qi, its cap dark purple with golden Dragon patterns swirling like a living creature.

Its stem was blood-red, with a faint Dragon might flowing through it, and golden streams of light hung from the edges of its leaves, emitting a captivating, exotic fragrance.

This fragrance was clear yet domineering; smelling it could purify the turbid Qi within the body, strengthen the foundation, and even revitalize those on the brink of death.

Furthermore, the purple-essenced dragon blood ganoderma contained immense Dragon power and endless vitality. Not only could it bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on white bones, but it could also help people Break Through cultivation Bottlenecks and cleanse their mortal bodies.

Most importantly, this was a Sacred Medicine that could be cultivated.

Most Sacred Medicines withered due to the coming of the Age of Dharma Decline and the drastic changes in the world’s environment.

However, the purple-essenced dragon blood ganoderma possessed extremely strong vitality, and as long as the environment was suitable, it could be cultivated and survive.

It was a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure in the current Age of Dharma Decline.

“The purple-essenced dragon blood ganoderma will only mature tomorrow, so there’s no immediate rush today. I’ll get the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning first!”

Wang Teng immediately set off for the Sunset Mountains… In the Sunset Mountains, the peaks resembled sleeping giants, their spines rising and falling against the skyline, their contours sharply defined.

The rocks on the mountaintops shimmered with a metallic luster, as if they were fragments of armor left behind by ancient deities.

On the mountainsides, a few tenacious ancient pines stretched their gnarled branches, their needles glowing with an amber hue in the afterglow.

A faint mist drifted through the valleys, like a light veil wrapped around the mountainsides, and occasionally, a few low beast roars could be heard.

“Everyone be careful, the Sunset Mountains are very dangerous, especially the closer we get to the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning, the danger increases severalfold!”

A dark-skinned, powerfully built middle-aged man in black armor with bulging muscles said in a deep voice.

He was Zhao Shanhe, the Captain of the Manshan Reincarnation Squad.

“Yes! Captain!”

The other team members nodded in agreement and followed Zhao Shanhe’s steps, fighting their way deep into the Sunset Mountains.

Finally, they arrived in a valley strewn with white bones.

In the center of the valley, a dark purple lightning orb, about ten feet in diameter, floated in mid-air. Dark golden patterns writhed on its surface like living creatures, sometimes contracting like a heartbeat, other times erupting into thousands of electric lights. The thunder roared like a giant beast.

This was the legendary Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning; each swirling pattern was an enigmatic rune condensed from the Laws of Heaven and Earth, drawing in Spiritual Qi from a hundred-mile radius, causing even space to ripple subtly.

And in the shadows around the lightning orb, six beast eyes, the size of lanterns, quietly lit up.

It was a Vicious Beast resembling a black panther but with two wings, its body covered in dark black scales, with faint blue electric light flowing through the gaps in the scales.

It lay dormant behind a charred ancient tree struck by lightning, saliva dripping from its razor-sharp fangs, corroding a deep pit in the ground.

Whenever the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning’s glow intensified, the Vicious Beast would let out a low growl from its throat, its wings fluttering slightly, bringing with it a fishy wind that made the air thick.

This guardian Vicious Beast had been entrenched here for a thousand years, long becoming a symbiotic Vicious Beast of the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning. Any approaching entity would face both the destructive power of the Dark Pattern Tribulation Lightning and the merciless pounce of the Vicious Beast.

“I will lure this Thunder Beast away; the rest is up to all of you!”

Zhao Shanhe said with a serious expression.

“Yes! Captain!”

The other team members nodded in agreement, their faces extremely solemn…
