After being poisoned by Wuyan, Ye Shikai and his allies are quickly cured. Doris is killed by Wang Kai, but Aphrodite bargains for her life by offering information about the HST project's mastermind. Ye Shikai spares Aphrodite, and Wuyan implants a lethal worm in her, ensuring her cooperation. Wuyan reveals that his sect knows about Ye Shikai's activities and that he intervened to prevent Aphrodite's escape.

"Speaking of which, your worm is really powerful." Ye Shikai exclaimed. Wuyan casually used a move with the worm, and everyone was unable to move, losing all ability to act and resist. This small yet deadly worm, if without the antidote for a day, would cause sudden death, and no one can cure it. Even the strongest cultivator is cautious with their life and wouldn’t joke with it.

Using worms is a completely different combat method, leaving no trace, drawing no attention, yet deadly enough...

Thinking about it, Ye Shikai felt a chill down his spine. Luckily, Wuyan had no ill intent towards him, otherwise it would be really troublesome, even if his inner strength was strong, it would have little effect on the worm.

"These are just the basics of my Worm Sect; in the Worm Sect, there are many worms outsiders don’t know about. Would you like to try them?"

"No, of course not." Ye Shikai hurriedly declined.

"Then you’d better behave. This time you’ve made too much noise. After fighting abroad, all the cultivating families in Huaxia are restless. Before I set off, some have already taken action."

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Shikai asked back.

"You’ll know when you go back."

"Alright."

Everyone returned to the base of the HST project. The mutated humans were following Ye Shikai’s "orders" motionless, but most of the mutants were killed by them. According to Ye Shikai’s requirement, only five were left for research.

"Wuyan, have you seen these before?" Ye Shikai inquired. He had heard before that worms could turn people into monsters, so he wanted to ask Wuyan’s opinion on whether the HST project’s reagents and worms had similar attributes.

"Not really, these monsters are half-human, half-beast. I didn’t expect such technology exists now to produce such creatures." Wuyan shook his head.

"Even more remarkably, these monsters obey orders." Ye Shikai ordered the people of the Three Temples to lock those five mutants in iron cages. The cage material was specially made with high hardness; even if the mutants wanted to escape, they couldn’t.

"You people dare conduct such experiments." Wang Kai kicked a nearby researcher, cursing loudly.

"Innocent, innocent, we were forced. If we refused, there would only be a dead end for us."

"Old Wang, stop." Ye Shikai ordered.

"Hmph."

"By the way, do you recognize this person?" Ye Shikai signaled, and a Hidden Guard dragged over the corpse of the man in a black robe.

"Yes, yes, this is the person responsible for overseeing here." A researcher answered, now scared like a bird, not daring to lie.

"Aphrodite, didn’t you say... this person is just an ordinary man?" Ye Shikai turned and asked.

"Hades, you can’t be so naive. This is just a base; being in charge doesn’t make him the mastermind, after all, this person was just a caretaker." Aphrodite replied.

"Old Ye, don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense, kill her."

"Stop," Ye Shikai said coldly, "She’s already in our hands and is afflicted with worm poison. I’m not afraid of her tricks."

"Listen up, everyone. Doris has been killed by me, and Aphrodite is in our hands. From now on, the entire Underworld is in the hands of the Three Temples." Wang Kai walked outside, loudly announcing to thousands, placing Doris’s body on the ground for everyone to "see."

With the situation now stable, Doris is dead, and no one can rival the Three Temples. People congratulated them, expressing their willingness to submit. Ye Shikai, as the leader of the Three Temples, was practically the "emperor" of the entire Underworld. His prestige and fame peaked, commanding absolute obedience...

With no rival, the power of the Three Temples would inevitably expand wildly, unimpeded, covering even the North American God King Hall and the South American Sea King Palace within their range.

Of course, Ye Shikai didn’t care about these. With Doris dead and Aphrodite captured, there were no more enemies in the Underworld for him. Next was the HST project. After its complete eradication, he’d have no other concerns and could go back to Yanjing to live peacefully.

Of course, completely eradicating the HST project might not be that easy. For now, Aphrodite’s "help" is needed, which means the information she has.

"Hidden Guard, listen to orders, search this place thoroughly and see if there’s anything valuable. Also, don’t damage anything here."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The next day, early morning.

"You’re late." Ye Shikai looked at his watch, speaking in an indifferent tone.

"I’ve already heard. You were smooth last night." Tianjing replied.

"Alright, let me give you a welcome gift." Ye Shikai led Tianjing and others into the base, much smoother this time. The equipment, results, and personnel inside hadn’t had time to evacuate and were all captured by the Three Temples’ people, so everything was preserved intact.

"This should be the HST project’s reagents." When they arrived at the reagent library, identified by researchers, they found the reagents. This small vial of reagent is enough to turn someone into a monster.

"Yes, take them all back to the bureau. Then, according to these reagents, research a way to make these mutants die with one strike, right?" Ye Shikai’s idea was naturally to hand all these things over to the National Security Bureau. These reagents are too terrible to fall into others’ hands. Based on these reagents, the bureau’s research institute could develop countermeasures; just one shot would kill a mutant. This way, even if they encounter a mutant army again, they can easily handle it rather than fight hard.

"Thank you." Tianjing acknowledged.

"Also, we have five living mutants here. You can take them back too, but these things are dangerous, better send more people for security." Ye Shikai suggested.

"Don’t worry, I’ll send people."

Tianjing hurried over this time, only with his squad. Seeing so many Underworld cultivators, assassin organizations, and mercenary groups outside, his expression was somewhat heavy. But since this is in South America, they couldn’t say much and could only pretend not to see.

"Tianjing, the mastermind behind the HST project might still be hidden underwater. Neither you nor I can relax our vigilance. Also, Aphrodite claims she knows the mastermind’s identity. I can’t determine for now if she’s telling the truth or not, but once there’s news, I will notify you immediately."
