Chapter 72 Gains and Losses
Chapter 72 Gains and Losses
Red Lotus Space.
The residual warmth of the ghost fire still lingered in the air.
Xia Xue's body descended like a goddess, emerging from above the red lotus and slowly falling like a feather.
"Sister Xia Xue."
Youyou quickly called out "sister" like a lackey, trying to unilaterally and substantially bring them closer.
Xia Xuechong nodded quietly, but there was no joy of great victory in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Sister Xia Xue?"
Looking at Xia Xue with a puzzled expression, he asked cautiously.
Xia Xue's gaze was fixed on the depths of the space, on the annihilated soul imprints, counting the intense karmic energy recovered after killing the enemies, and a look of certainty appeared in her eyes.
"Only eight died. The four who voluntarily chose to turn to ashes—the Netherworld Master, the Beast Master, the Gu Master, and the Paper Master—did not die."
Upon hearing this, Youyou's expression changed.
"Sister Xia Xue, what should we do?"
Xia Xue looked at the four karmic forces that were only slightly inferior to the other eight, shook her head and chuckled, "Even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. They shouldn't have much fighting power for a while. I already have their detailed information, so finding them won't be difficult."
Fortunately, she had already thoroughly investigated the origins of all four of them.
Finding them is not difficult
However, it's too troublesome.
They need to travel all over the world and spend a lot of time tracking down the enemy.
As a homebody, she really hates going on long trips.
"This job was done rather sloppily."
Xia Xue reflected on herself for a moment.
"I never expected they would have a way to deceive the Crimson Lotus Space."
Xia Xue instantly understood their methods.
"Is it a secret technique involving creating a substitute or a clone?"
Moreover, when the contract was made with the Crimson Lotus Space, a substitute or clone was used instead of the original body.
Only in this way can we possibly escape the obliteration of the Crimson Lotus Space.
"It seems that only the four of them are the true core members of the Netherfire."
Otherwise, it's impossible that only they made preparations in advance.
Youyou tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Those four are indeed very active. Every time there's a meeting, they're the ones who push the meeting forward. Tsk tsk, I never expected that even among the elders, there are core members and peripheral members. These adults are truly terrifying."
Xia Xue looked speechlessly at Youyou, who had completely fooled these "adults" and died without even understanding what had happened. She shook her head and said with a smile, "Alright, the matter of the Netherfire is over. You can live in peace now."
Knowing that Xia Xue must be busy, Youyou nodded obediently.
"Okay, Sister Xia Xue, I'll head back now. If you need anything, just let me know. I'm Youyou, I'll be there whenever you call."
Finally, he didn't forget to express his loyalty.
Xia Xue watched the ethereal figure disappear into the Crimson Lotus Space, shook her head and chuckled, "What an interesting child."
It can be submitted.
The female lead seems to have never disappointed in terms of character.
Xia Xue looked at the red lotus space that was absorbing karma while pondering the question of this source tracing.
"It seems that in the future, we will not only need to trace identity information, location information, inheritance information, and event information, but also life-saving measures."
Tracing the source is like a search engine. Each time you trace the source, you can only do so with a question in mind, and the information you get may not be the information you want.
Or perhaps there is too much related information, making it impossible to trace the source completely in one go. After all, the information retrieved each time is limited. It could also be that her question was not accurate enough or contained errors, requiring the question to be readjusted. Moreover, how could one possibly control a person's entire life through just a few minutes of tracing?
Even the most familiar underworld master only knew the general trajectory of their life, and the information about others was relatively complete, while the information about others was mostly fragmented.
However, complete does not mean detailed.
She still has many things she doesn't understand about shamans.
For example, the life-saving method she used to escape this time was information she hadn't been able to grasp before.
"From now on, prioritize survival measures to the highest level. Make sure you kill the person. Don't do what we're doing now, where we've only managed to kill halfway through. The fatal blow was dodged by the person using a survival measure, and we still have to go through the trouble of chasing them down."
As Xia Xue pondered, the Red Lotus Space underwent a transformation.
Although the radius only increased by two meters, the key difference is that an additional layer of lotus flowers was added to the outer perimeter.
"Twenty-four petals."
This second layer of lotus differs from the first layer in that it has twice as many petals.
"However, only two are real now, the rest are illusory. They need to absorb enough karma to become real."
The current Crimson Lotus Space can accommodate fourteen ordinary members and one administrator at a time.
The administrator, like the previous master of the underworld, has partial access to the Crimson Lotus Space.
As the owner of the Crimson Lotus Space, Xia Xue could naturally adjust the extent and strength of these permissions.
Don't worry about the administrator taking over.
Xia Xue glanced thoughtfully at the red lotus space, feeling as if she had overlooked something.
"Space and radius are not unique to the Crimson Lotus Space."
With that thought in mind, Xia Xue's consciousness left the Red Lotus Space, and she focused her attention on her telekinetic abilities.
It was discovered that its radius had changed from the original 30 meters to the current 32 meters.
"Not only telekinesis, but the radius of mind-reading has also become thirty-two meters."
Xia Xue tried it for a moment and confirmed her guess.
"Moreover, the space of the Qi Sea and Blood Sea has also increased, from the original radius of about thirty meters to the current radius of about thirty-two meters."
The energy absorption range of the Qi Sea and Blood Sea has also changed from a radius of 30 meters to a radius of 32 meters.
A flash of understanding crossed Xia Xue's eyes.
"So, it turns out that both my special abilities and the inherited techniques are interconnected."
I don't know if it's because of the system or because of the "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong".
Having a wider range of energy absorption is naturally a good thing, but it also has its troubles.
She needs to consciously avoid...
Essential energy for the human body, such as vital energy.
Or conspicuous energy, such as sunlight.
Or exposed energy, such as Reiki.
Even when absorbing energy that is undetectable to the human body and is useless or harmful, there must be a limit, and the energy cycle and ecological balance must not be disrupted.
Anyway, it's very troublesome.
"Fortunately, there is an automatic operation with full-level features. As long as I am aware of this, it can be completed automatically without me having to manually adjust them one by one."
Footsteps came from outside the door.
Xia Xue could tell who it was just by the sound of footsteps, not to mention that she now had the even more convenient detective method of telekinesis.
"Xia Jue? Why is she here so late?"
Xia Xue sat back down at her desk as if nothing had happened, and continued folding the origami cranes she hadn't finished earlier.
The footsteps outside the door stopped, and after a long while, when Xia Xue had folded more than a dozen origami cranes, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiaoxue, are you asleep?"
