บท 22: The Beast King Sect
After disposing of the attackers' bodies without leaving any trace, Long Chen returned home as usual.
After ensuring the surroundings were safe, the first thing he did was access the Star Net.
He was somewhat puzzled by why the other party had looked at him that way.
However, one thing was certain: the enemy must not understand his power.
Nevertheless, Long Chen remained cautious; it was better to finish this once and for all.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, these two souls were able to answer the doubts in his heart.
Soon, with the blessing of the Star Net's computing power, all the memories and information from the two souls would be analyzed.
Now, with his enhanced spiritual power, Long Chen could process any information much faster.
The warriors' memories quickly surfaced in his mind, and the processing continued to accelerate.
Fighting.... killing.... blood sacrifice many keywords were swiftly extracted.
Long Chen accelerated his thinking and continued to explore these memories.
Then, the most important piece of information appeared: the Beast King Sect!
These two warriors were members of the Beast King Sect, and they had come here to carry out the aforementioned mission: to collect sacrifices and use them for the upcoming blood sacrifice ritual.
Unfortunately, their target was Long Chen. After all, according to their intelligence, Long Chen was just an ordinary student with little power, so he didn't garner much attention.
Adding to that the fact that he had no relatives or significant connections at school, they figured his disappearance wouldn't cause many consequences.
From their perspective, Long Chen was an ideal target.
But what they didn't realize was that this target possessed the innate power of the Awakening realm and could kill them instantly in just a face-to-face confrontation!
"I didn't expect that being a humble person would have its downsides, making you a target for things like this."
Long Chen sighed secretly, but his body relaxed considerably.
At least this way, it was clear that nothing had been exposed.
What they were after was not the Star Net, but the identity of the student Long Chen.
Today, the two men had died, and there was no trace left of them.
No one would know exactly why they suddenly disappeared. Long Chen handled the matter cleanly.
Even the leaders who had assigned them this task might simply think the warriors had failed by exposing themselves.
However, Long Chen was not used to leaving hidden dangers behind.
Uproot the weeds and eliminate the roots! On one hand, there was no chance of exposing himself, and on the other hand, it was because the Beast King Sect was not only targeting him this time.
Although he didn't know the full extent of the enemy's actions, Long Chen was sure that City 17 was no longer stable at this point.
As you know, in Long Chen's plan, everyone would become a future member of the Star Net. For now, it was considered a cultivation system based on merit.
After all, resources were limited, but they would certainly expand on a larger scale in the future. Clearly, the other side had hindered his development.
Su Yu acted immediately, extracting key information from the memories of every member of the Star Net.
Information regarding the Beast King Sect quickly appeared before his eyes.
Although it wasn't comprehensive, it was enough to understand part of it.
The Beast King Sect wasn't an ordinary sect as people commonly understood it it spread only through ideas.
It was a force that had quietly emerged under the influence of something inexplicable and strange.
Every warrior may be affected by this power, becoming more violent during battle.
And then, they would go mad.
Continuous fighting and killing, combined with the influence of negative emotions, made it more likely for one to be absorbed by this power and become a follower of the Beast King Sect.
This was especially true for warriors who were not in the right mental state or had committed crimes.
This is precisely why the Beast King Sect had expanded so much in such a short time, spreading across different cities.
However, their strength wasn't enough to ultimately destabilize official power, so they mostly remained in the shadows and didn't reveal themselves easily.
The authorities were very troubled by this matter as well.
These enemies, who were originally warriors, were more difficult to deal with than beasts! Some of them held high positions and knew the weaknesses of each city, making them hard to eradicate.
Even in the process of fighting the Beast King Sect, if one's mind wasn't stable, they could be absorbed by them.
After all, not everyone could endure the constant slaughter of their fellow humans.
As for the branch of the Beast King Sect located in City 17, the Star Net members didn't know much about it.
But there was one terrifying thing they did know: the blood sacrifice!
They captured living people and offered them as sacrifices to the Beast King at a specific time.
It is said that through this kind of ritual, followers of the Beast King Sect would gain limitless power from him, even crossing a major realm in an instant.
Naturally, these fanatics reveled in this and considered it a gift from the Beast King.
Decades ago, before City 17 faced the beast tide, the region was much larger than it is now.
At that time, the fanatics of the Beast King Sect once conducted a blood sacrifice.
Hundreds of people vanished without a trace. After that, the Beast King Sect began to suffer almost endless retaliation, and their power dwindled significantly.
If it weren't for the beast wave giving them a chance to recover, the Beast King Sect might have been wiped out long ago by angry warriors.
Now, it seemed they were making a comeback.
"So… this time, I will make sure these people disappear completely."
After witnessing the painful scenes, Long Chen slowly made up his mind.
Perhaps they were hiding so deeply that they were hard to detect.
But they had no way of accounting for the power of the Star Net!
With a thought, Long Chen quickly extracted key information from the memories of the Beast King Sect warriors.
For example, the appearance of the person responsible for assigning them their tasks... and information about other followers of the Beast King Sect who had gone to various places to carry out their missions...
Long Chen extracted each key piece of information, then posted them on the Star Net.
Names, appearances, activity traces everything!
At the same time, a mission was issued.
