I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

That was why Shangguan Rongrong had pretended to be passing by, intending to at least determine Xie Lingwan’s general location.

As members of the Demon Race from the same region, Shangguan Rongrong and Xie Lingwan were practically neighbors. They had even called each other "sisters" at local Demon Race gatherings.

So, she’d assumed that nothing would happen if she just pretended to be passing through.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingwan seemed to have already known Shangguan Rongrong’s intentions. She had suddenly shot out without a word and captured Shangguan Rongrong alive.

This left Shangguan Rongrong utterly bewildered.

’I only pledged allegiance to Zou Feng a short time ago, and no one else was present. How could Xie Lingwan possibly know I’ve become Zou Feng’s subordinate?’

Now, learning that Xie Lingwan was going to beat him at his own game by using her as bait to lure Zou Feng here, Shangguan Rongrong immediately understood.

’There’s no other explanation. Xie Lingwan must have planted a spy in my home, Moon-Reflecting Pool, long ago.’

’The pool is teeming with poisonous creatures. For a Golden Core Great Demon, planting a few special little spiders to act as her "eyes" would have been a simple matter.’

’So, Xie Lingwan must have seen everything... me pledging fealty to Zou Feng, even the Poison Pattern being carved onto me...’

’It’s over...’

Shangguan Rongrong’s expression suddenly became as ugly as it could possibly be.

With Xie Lingwan knowing everything, Zou Feng would most likely be wiped out even if he brought reinforcements from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.

Of course, if two or three Golden Core Cultivators came, they certainly wouldn’t fall into the trap.

’But the problem is, Zou Feng is still just a Dao Foundation Realm disciple. On what grounds could he convince his Golden Core Realm senior brothers to abandon their missions of rescuing other sect members just to save a Snake Demon like me?’

’Besides, from the look on Xie Lingwan’s face, she’s confident she can handle anything. Even if Golden Core Realm Cultivators did show up, she’s probably certain she could escape unscathed from her own well-prepared territory.’

The more Shangguan Rongrong thought about it, the more desperate she became. She subconsciously tried to send another danger signal through the Poison Pattern.

This wasn’t her giving up and trying to sacrifice herself to save Zou Feng.

Rather, she wanted to use the danger signal to get Zou Feng’s immediate attention, prompting him to bring more powerful experts with him.

But the moment Shangguan Rongrong tried to activate the Poison Pattern this time, a tearing pain shot through her entire body.

The spider silks wrapped around her had tightened.

"How naive can you be to think I’d give you another chance to send a message?" Xie Lingwan laughed flirtatiously, her chest creating a veritable Thunderous Roar.

Shangguan Rongrong screamed for a while. Once the pain subsided slightly, she spoke, still unwilling to give up. "Sister Wan... you... why must you oppose the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect..."

"Even if the Tribulation Cultivators breach... the Celestial Hearing Tower... it’s only a temporary advantage... They’ll be drowned by the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s wrath afterward..."

"Sister Wan... there’s no future... with this pack of madmen... It’s not too late to turn back... I’m willing to stake my life on it. As long as you submit to Zou Feng, with his talent that guarantees he’ll become a True Inheritor, he can definitely protect you!"

Xie Lingwan snorted coldly. "Do you really think the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect can run rampant this time, just like in the past?"

"The Ninefold Celestial Court, the Yama Underworld, and the scattered Demon Cultivators are, of course, not enough. But if we also add..."

Before she could finish, Shangguan Rongrong roughly guessed what she was alluding to and helplessly gave up on wasting any more words.

Meanwhile, Zou Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, preparing to leap down from the Flying Celestial Ship.

Behind him stood Ye Chenhua and Jiang Wanzhao.

"Are you sure you want to go into that godforsaken place alone?" Ye Chenhua asked, his face full of disdain as he sized up the dense forest below, which emanated a chilling and bizarre aura.

Anyone who wasn’t a Poison Cultivator or someone who practiced a special Evil Art would keep their distance from a place like this.

"It looks like that demoness has set up some very nasty traps. She’s probably just waiting for you to walk right into them..." Ye Chenhua continued.

Although Jiang Wanzhao didn’t speak, her expression clearly showed that she also thought it was unnecessary for Zou Feng to risk going in alone.

But Zou Feng remained firm, shaking his head slightly. "If you come with me, that Spider Spirit will bolt immediately. Catching her then won’t be so easy..."

This was Xie Lingwan’s home turf, after all, and the terrain was exceptionally complex. If she was determined to flee, it would be all too easy for his trip to end in vain.

With that, Zou Feng lingered no longer and leaped directly off the Flying Celestial Ship.

The very instant he landed, Xie Lingwan, who had made her own arrangements, sensed his arrival clearly.

Driven by her lust for Zou Feng’s body, Xie Lingwan was overjoyed.

"He’s here!"

But her smile immediately froze on her face, replaced by bewilderment.

"He’s alone!?"

Xie Lingwan had originally expected Zou Feng to bring a few of his Dao Foundation Realm sect-mates, or perhaps even a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

But even if he had brought a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, the well-prepared Xie Lingwan wouldn’t have been afraid.

’I never imagined he’d dare to come alone. Who gave him this courage?’

After a moment of confusion, Xie Lingwan felt that something was amiss. She suspected a trick and secretly activated the first wave of her ambush.

Meanwhile, Zou Feng, still with his hands behind his back, walked as if on a leisurely stroll across the damp, dark ground littered with decaying leaves.

He knew, of course, that Xie Lingwan had set up all sorts of traps, as well as a Domain that looked to be on par with the "Endless Bridal Chamber."

But Zou Feng wasn’t concerned about any of that.

Xie Lingwan’s name had already appeared on the List of Gods. The closer he got, the more certain he was that this unfamiliar name belonged to the Spider Spirit who was trying to ambush him.

’Nothing more to be said, then. I’ll just put her at the top of the list.’

He appeared to be strolling slowly, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to finish refining the Golden Core Dragon Poison that he hadn’t completely processed earlier.

Having broken through to the Golden Core Realm, he could even refine Rule Power, so he could naturally and finally absorb the Dragon Poison completely.

As for completely refining the wolf and clam poisons, there wasn’t enough time right now, so he’d put that off for a bit.

Of course, Zou Feng had stored up all the side effects from refining the Dragon Poison. He was planning to give Xie Lingwan a big surprise later in the form of a side-effect Critical Strike.

After walking for about half a mile, a chorus of rustling sounds suddenly arose from the surroundings.

Zou Feng didn’t even need to look to know he was already surrounded by countless grotesque spiders, each the size of a washbasin.

A moment later, the grotesque spiders swarmed toward Zou Feng like a skin-crawling, crashing wave.

With their sheer numbers, even if they couldn’t defeat Zou Feng, they could definitely wear him down significantly.

According to Xie Lingwan’s plan, anyone trying to reach her location would first have to pass through various obstacles and be worn out like a dog.

This was why she wasn’t afraid of Zou Feng bringing his sect-mates.

However, the "wave" of grotesque spiders failed to faze Zou Feng in the slightest.

He simply stopped walking and shot an extremely sharp glare in their direction.

Soul-Seizing Blood Eyes, activated. The draconic might obtained from refining the Dragon Poison, unleashed.

The grotesque spiders, which had been completely under Xie Lingwan’s control and feared no death, all trembled in unison. They froze in place, not advancing another inch.

Then, as if nothing had happened, Zou Feng turned and resumed his slow stroll.

The overwhelming swarm of grotesque spiders had been stopped by nothing more than a sharp glance from Zou Feng.

Xie Lingwan, who was watching everything through her special methods, was also frozen—frozen in shock.

’What the hell!?’

’My connection to the spider swarm has been completely severed! No matter how I try to control them, they’re not responding, as if they’ve been petrified...’

’No, that’s impossible for someone in the Dao Foundation Realm. That kid... did he break through to the Golden Core Realm!?’

Xie Lingwan immediately realized it.

’No wonder the boy dared to come alone. His Realm advancement gave him the courage.’

’Unfortunately for him, he must be incredibly arrogant to think that a newly advanced Golden Core can go toe-to-toe with a Demon Cultivator like me, who’s already at the Golden Core Middle Stage?’

Xie Lingwan snorted repeatedly, then began to laugh even more happily than before.

"KEKEKE..."

’A Genius Poison Cultivator at the Golden Core Realm? Wouldn’t that make him even more delicious?’

Without further hesitation, Xie Lingwan formed a hand seal for a Technique in the next instant, unleashing her Domain completely!
