Chapter 1826: Infiltrated Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations “More than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators have been killed in less than half a day?” The Ghost Elder narrowed his eyes and a deep thought passed through his eyes: “Have the corpses been brought back?” “They’ve been brought back, they are just outside now. They’ve been placed in order of the time they were found.” A devilry cultivator said solemnly. With the death of these over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators, they had lost more than half of the people they had sent out. Moreover, the strongest level of the three hundred something cultivators was only Golden Core peak-stage. Yet, they had managed to kill over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators without alarming anyone, how could they not be shocked? Could it be that there was a powerful person lurking amongst those three hundred something people? However, even if there was such a person, it wasn’t possible that he had been captured by them. What was going on? The Ghost Elder walked outside and looked at the dozen or so corpses that were placed in front of the wooden hut. His gaze was sharp and fierce as he glanced at the corpses before he began examining the first corpse. “A fatal blow to the chest, a small hole that is not made by a sword, nor a concealed weapon. From the size of the hole, it appears to have been made by a branch, and one that has a blunt end as well.” The Ghost Elder said as he examined the body: “Nascent Soul cultivators have strong protection to begin with anyway, it’s not easy to pierce his body with blunt edged branch. The person who managed this in one move is most definitely not a simple person.” “Could it be that someone powerful has infiltrated the group of three hundred something people?” One of the devilry cultivators at the side couldn’t help but ask. When he heard this, the Ghost Elder glanced at him and sneered: “Do you think I’m blind? If there was someone with this kind of strength within those three hundred something people, do you think I wouldn’t have noticed?” After he had been lectured by the Ghost Elder, that devilry cultivator couldn’t help but lowered his eyes and dared not speak further, afraid that the Ghost Elder would vent his anger on him. The Ghost Elder looked at the second corpse and saw that his fatal wound was caused by a sword, but there were no signs of a fight on his whole body. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and looked further down the line of corpses. He saw that every one of them had been killed in one fatal move and were not killed by ambush. He concluded that this person was no doubt someone of the strength of a Celestial Strong Exponent. Only someone of a Celestial Strong Exponent strength would be able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator in one move. However, he didn’t think that any such person was within the group of three hundred something cultivators they had captured. On the contrary, this person must have infiltrated their territory. “Send a few Celestial Strong Exponent cultivators into the forest to take a look, someone must have sneaked in. I would like to see who this person is, who has the audacity to sneak into the territory of our Shadow Night Palace!” “Yes!” A devilry cultivator responded and hurried away. The Ghost Elder paced back and forth with one hand behind his back. After a while, he gave more instructions: “Send another group of people in and have them split up into pairs. Tell them that they should only deal with the Shadow disciples accordingly and not kill them, lest there be none left at the end. Tell them to also look out for any suspicious person.” “Yes.” Another devilry cultivator responded and left quickly. “You go in and have some fun with those people as well.” The Ghost Elder glanced at the seductively dressed woman behind him. “Since you can bear to let me go, then I will go!” The woman stepped forward and gently snuggled into the Ghost Elder’s arms. Her hands ran across the Ghost Elder’s chest teasingly and with a sweet smile on her red lips, she walked off towards the dense forest, swaying her water-snake waist. The Ghost Elder narrowed his eyes as he stared at the figure of the woman who had disappeared into the distance, a faint light flashed across his eyes...
