Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2468: Hidden among them (2)

As this thought came to mind, the expressions on the faces of the sect masters and elders quickly changed once more.

It wasn’t that they were thinking about how to deal with the spies, it was that they were worried about the situation outside of these ruins.

They wanted to head out and back to their sects to see what the situation was.

If it really was a large scale operation on the part of the demonic sects, it could even lead to a new war.

But before they could move, I suddenly said, "Calm down."

All of the sect masters and elders narrowed their eyes to look at me as if they thought that I didn’t know what I was talking about. But when they did stop to think about it, they realized that I was right.

Once they realized what they should be doing, they narrowed their eyes to look at the demonic cultivators.

It looked like they were getting ready to torture these demonic cultivators for the answers that they wanted.

Only before that could happen, there was something that I needed from the demonic cultivators. Which was why I stopped the sect masters and elders from tearing into them like they wanted.

"Those three, bring them over."

The others were surprised when I pointed out these three people, but they still brought them over just like I asked for.

The three that were picked out had surprised and confused looks on their faces.

At the same time, it seemed like they were worried for their lives.

After all, it was never a good thing to be chosen out of everyone.

It usually meant that there was something special about them that the other side didn’t like. It would mean that they would do what they could to find that special thing and prosecute them for it.

"We really don’t know anything."

As soon as one of them spoke, the others followed as if they were begging for their lives.

Only none of the orthodox cultivators listened to them as they dragged them over to the side.

Once they were on the side and separated from everyone else, that was when I suddenly reached out towards them.

The demonic cultivators had no idea what I was doing, but they didn’t like the way that I was reaching my hands towards them. They couldn’t help moving back as if they were afraid of my hand as I reached out towards them.

But with them being restrained and being surrounded by the orthodox cultivators, it wasn’t as if there was much that they could do.

In the end, I placed my hand on them and started releasing my divine energy.

This was the last resort that I didn’t want to use since I had no idea what kind of effect it would have on them. It was the kind of thing that would be considered almost desperate with how reckless it was.

Only there wasn’t a choice since I had no other answer.

"Ah!"

It was only the third one that reacted like this and it didn’t take long for his body to manifest why he gave this reaction.

There was smoke that started coming from his body as if something was being burned out of him. At the same time, it was almost as if his body itself was melting away because I was directly injecting the divine energy into him.

When this happened, everyone looked on in shock and confusion as they couldn’t understand what was happening.

But even though he was already melting, I didn’t stop as I continued injecting divine energy into this demonic cultivator.

The expression on his face slowly changed until it seemed like he accepted what was happening and knew that there was no other choice. Once he accepted this, it felt like his entire body was starting to deform.

However, this deformation didn’t come from the divine energy that I was injecting into him.

"Stand back." I said to the others as a layer of ice appeared around me.

All of them had fast reactions, which was why they were able to move back in time.

Once the deformation reached a limit, there was an explosion that came from this demonic cultivator.

This wasn’t an explosion that came from them being deformed by the divine energy, this was an explosion that they triggered on their own. That was because the moment the explosion happened, there was this burst of corruption energy that came from the demonic cultivator.

Since I had the ice barrier up, none of the corruption energy could touch me and it all disappeared the moment that it made contact with the ice barrier.

But that wasn’t all that happened as there was still the corruption energy that went backwards. This was the corruption energy that gathered behind the demonic cultivator and formed a small ball.

Once that small ball formed, the first thing that it did was to aim at the other two demonic cultivators that were trapped here. It was as if it wanted to swallow these other two demonic cultivators and turn them into corruption energy.

However, it didn’t have a chance to reach them as the ice suddenly spread forward.

Before the corruption energy could reach them, the layer of ice had already formed and destroyed the tentacles of corruption energy that stretched out.

The same thing happened where the corruption energy immediately disappeared the moment that it made contact with the ice. It didn’t seem like there was anything that the corruption energy could do, it was completely suppressed by something superior to it.

"What are you?" This voice that didn’t seem human came from the ball of corruption energy.

I was a bit surprised when I heard this, but then I figured out what it was.

I already had a guess that it was this case, but it wasn’t as if I was certain.

But these words completely confirmed what I had been thinking all along.
