What should I do?

Jiang Ye’s mind answered instantly: I should be like you!

No, wait, you should be like me!

To be more precise, it’s that we both reversed the situation!

You sit in that big black vat like a “human pig,” and I’ll take a seat in that chair.

Thinking this way, Jiang Ye didn’t rush to act.

After all, it wasn’t the right time to casually use the Life Stone again.

Naturally, he didn’t mind watching this young guy show off a bit longer, learning some flashy tricks… no, rather, gathering more information.

Sure enough.

The young guy, seeing Jiang Ye silent, grew even more cocky, visible to the naked eye.

His handling of the cremains urn became more exaggerated, clearly enjoying himself like playing a game.

He even deliberately raised his eyebrows and leaned back against the chair.

The hand holding the cremains urn naturally shifted backward.

Then…

A crisp “crack” sound.

The urn fell straight to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Jiang Ye watched the scene expressionlessly, his heartbeat not even quickening.

The guy burst out laughing arrogantly, deliberately saying:

“Hahaha… scared you, huh?”

“Don’t worry, that’s not your urn.”

“Look at this one, and this one…”

He raised his left hand, showing one urn.

Then raised his right hand, showing another urn.

He seemed to be having a blast, slamming these two urns on the ground with two sharp “cracks,” smashing them fiercely.

Of course, neither of these were the Witch Gui cremains urn.

Jiang Ye knew this even more clearly inside.

The original urn containing Witch Gui’s cremains was extremely sturdy.

Not only was it unbreakable by normal means, even gold-grade weapons couldn’t leave a mark on it.

Besides, breaking the urn wasn’t a big deal; the cremains inside could simply be repackaged into another container.

This young man’s antics couldn’t harm Jiang Ye in the slightest.

However, he was clearly doing this on purpose.

Although he didn’t truly damage the Witch Gui cremains, his reckless smashing and throwing of the urns was pure provocation!

This was practically throwing Witch Gui’s dignity onto the ground!

If this were the original Witch Gui, he’d have been enraged and acted already.

But now, the Witch Gui was Jiang Ye. He calmly watched this young guy smash urn after urn without any reaction.

After throwing more than a dozen urns, the young guy’s arrogant smile gradually faded.

He snorted coldly, his aura suddenly changing.

First, he straightened up, crossed one leg over the other, and leaned his upper body slightly toward “Yu Mo.”

Then, adopting this aggressive posture, he said coldly:

“Hmph, you’re quite composed.”

“Don’t you have a way to forcibly invade others’ consciousness?”

“Why haven’t you used it on me after smashing so many urns?”

“Are you scared?”

“Or are you afraid because my spirit attribute is higher than yours?”

Saying this, he even kicked the black vat where Yu Mo was held with the foot of his crossed leg.

Jiang Ye was speechless and finally spoke:

“Hey, you wanted me to invade your consciousness?”

“Bro, you should’ve said so earlier! You wasted my time!”

The Eternal Witch Gui’s spirit attribute of 1600 should have already been detected by this young guy.

And this guy probably had an even higher spirit attribute, which is why he was so fearless.

But the problem was…

Jiang Ye could cheat and increase his spirit attribute!

He silently murmured: Clone Fusion!

Then, with a flash of consciousness, he directly “seized the body” of the young man.

This kind of possession was temporary.

Just like how Witch Gui previously possessed one of Jiang Ye’s discarded clones.

As soon as Witch Gui’s consciousness left, the young guy would regain awareness.

Jiang Ye rummaged through the young man’s body directly.

All spatial equipment and items were tossed into the Clone Shared Space.

He found a pendant-style spatial device filled with cremains urns identical to Witch Gui’s urns.

He wasn’t sure if any genuine Witch Gui urns were mixed inside.

While using his discarded clone in the Reincarnation Graveyard to examine those urns,

Jiang Ye stripped the young man completely, not even leaving his underwear…

Once naked, he noticed red patterns not only on the guy’s face and exposed skin, but all over his body, covering every inch with blood markings.

Besides that, the guy had three glyph tattoos.

One strange-shaped tattoo on his chest.

One symmetrical, regular tattoo around his navel.

And one eyeball-shaped tattoo on the top of his head…

Yes, on the top of his head.

Though the guy looked decent and quite young, it turned out he was wearing a wig, with a bald spot right in the middle of his scalp…

While stripping off all his equipment, Jiang Ye naturally pulled off the wig too.

After thoroughly studying this guy,

he took Yu Mo out of the big black vat,

then stuffed the young man inside it.

After completing all this, he flicked his consciousness back to Yu Mo’s body.

Sitting cross-legged in the luxurious chair as Yu Mo,

he leaned forward with an aggressive look toward the young man trapped in the black vat.

Oh right, he also gave the vat a friendly kick as a wake-up call:

“Hey, bro, it’s your turn to open your eyes now.”

“The forced invasion of consciousness you requested? I just did it for you.”

“How’s that? Satisfied?”

“Anything else you want?”

“…”

The young man didn’t open his eyes, but his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, his mind might have been silently singing:

“Dare not open my eyes, hope this is just my hallucination…”

Jiang Ye seemed to hear his mental song and kindly informed him: “Don’t worry, it’s not a hallucination :)”

“Or should I stimulate you with some pain to confirm it’s not a hallucination?”

Saying that, Jiang Ye pulled out a chainsaw and hovered it over the young man’s slightly bald head.

He was a man of action, directly turning on the chainsaw and, amidst the sizzling sound, gave the guy a new haircut…

The young man’s eyelashes shook even harder.

Even the corners of his mouth twitched.

Even the trembling voice he let out couldn’t stop:

“Enough!!”

The sharp shout, because of the trembling, sounded like a scream.

Jiang Ye was startled, his hand shook, accidentally scratching the guy’s scalp.

He frowned and slapped the guy’s completely bald egg-shaped head hard:

“Why are you shouting so loud? Trying to scare someone to death?!”

“…”

The young man’s voice indeed lowered but still stubbornly refused to admit defeat:

“You! Don’t think that just because you looted my items, you got your cremains back!”

“I can tell you clearly! None of your cremains are in those urns!”

“The real cremains aren’t on me at all!”

“And if you dare lay a finger on me, I guarantee—your cremains will instantly vanish from this world!”

His voice initially trembled noticeably.

But as he spoke, he convinced himself and gained confidence.

Jiang Ye slapped his forehead again with the side of the chainsaw.

Then leisurely said: “I didn’t just lay a finger on you. So why haven’t my cremains disappeared from this world?”

“Really strange, huh? You’ve been captured alive by me. You should be saved if you destroy my cremains.”

“But why hasn’t that happened yet?”

“Could it be…”

He bent down and pressed his big face close to the young man’s face.

Pointing to the face belonging to Yu Mo, he leisurely said:

“Because of this Yu Mo? If I die, Yu Mo dies too.”

“Or because of Wu Wang? If I die, Wu Wang dies too.”

“Or maybe because of other hosts where I nested my Inner Demons?”

“You mentioning this just reminded me…”

“I should give you an Inner Demons Nest too. That way, if my cremains are gone, you’d die as well :)”

At these words, the young man’s expression changed drastically!

He almost craned his neck, eyes wide with disbelief, demanding: “You’re really not afraid?”

To be honest, Jiang Ye wasn’t afraid at all.

Not only did he have the Clone Sacrifice as a life-saving trump card, but the cremains might not even be truly destroyed.

Even if the cremains were gone and the Eternal Witch Gui clone died…

Frankly, it didn’t matter to him.

After all, if Eternal Witch Gui died, his privileged identity should be exposed.

Jiang Ye could simply regain this identity through other clones later.

And the memories of Eternal Witch Gui had already been obtained. The only thing he would lose was the Inner Demons Nest, an eighth-tier glyph pattern ability, and its nested targets.

But honestly, the Inner Demons Nest ability was great for ordinary players.

For Jiang Ye… it was just okay.

He could directly convert people into clones; compared to that, the Inner Demons Nest was pretty useless.

So, Eternal Witch Gui’s value mainly lay in the privileged identity.

And if that identity transferred to others, Jiang Ye could always take it back.

Therefore, he was quite relaxed.

He even eagerly wanted to test whether the Clone Sacrifice priority could save the Witch Gui cremains.

Just as he was thinking this,

he really felt it—

Just moments ago, when the young man’s face changed drastically, doubting Jiang Ye’s fear of death,

one of his puppet clones was burned to ashes, leaving no trace.

Obviously, the Clone Sacrifice had activated.

That meant…

The “death” of the Witch Gui cremains also triggered the Clone Sacrifice!

But soon after, Jiang Ye sensed two more puppet clones sacrificed in succession.

He frowned, feeling extremely annoyed at the young man’s bald head.

After all, each puppet clone had ten hairs!

This guy was bald himself and wanted to make Jiang Ye bald too! That was too much!

Jiang Ye was about to teach him another lesson.

Before he could act, the young man’s expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Ye slashed horizontally with the chainsaw, shaving a bit off the top of the bald head.

Just as the young man was about to scream, Jiang Ye grabbed his neck, forcibly silencing the scream.

Then, looking down coldly, he said:

“What? Got a message? The people guarding your cremains can’t destroy them, right?”

“With this little strength, you still dare to provoke me? Bro, how have you survived till now?”

Saying that, Jiang Ye showed no mercy, cutting off both the guy’s ears.

He was considerate enough to use a toxic medicine to stop the bleeding.

At this point, bound in the black vat, shaved head, ears cut off, neck gripped…

The young man’s original arrogant spirit finally extinguished completely, his face turned pale.

“I… I was wrong… Big boss, I was wrong!”

A faint voice barely escaped from his strangled throat.

“Too bad, it’s too late.”

Jiang Ye kept the chainsaw running, resting it on the guy’s forehead.

“Now, you answer whatever I ask.”

“If your answers satisfy me, I can give you a slot for Inner Demons Nest.”

“But if you don’t earn that slot…”

Jiang Ye smiled slightly: “I believe you have resurrection means.”

“But please also believe—I can break through your resurrection.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

“Now, first question—”

“Which organization are you from, the one called Heavenly Net?”

“…”

The young man’s pale face twitched painfully.

Jiang Ye said “Sorry” and released his grip on the neck.

The young man gasped and answered shakily:

“Yes and no. I’m a Blood Breath Pavilion undercover agent within the Heavenly Net organization…”

“…” Jiang Ye supported his chin, organized the connections, and quickly inferred:

“Oh, so offending me was just to pin the blame on the Heavenly Net organization, right?”

“… Yes and no,” the young man’s expression was complicated. “I didn’t expect you to be so strong, big boss…”

Well, that was Jiang Ye’s fault.

Feeling slightly apologetic, Jiang Ye asked: “So, you offended me for what reason? Yu Mo and Wu Wang are involved too, right?”

The young man looked at that face with a complicated expression, remaining silent for a moment before saying:

“To gain Wu Wang’s submission and take control of the Hundred Ghosts Alliance…”

“Also, Yu Mo and I are cousins and childhood friends.”

Alright, understandable.

But…

“So, Yu Mo agreed because he’s close to you. But why did Wu Wang agree?”

“He cooperated with you to get rid of me, right?”

“But getting rid of me and submitting to you is just jumping from the frying pan into the fire, isn’t it?”

Taking such a huge risk was basically a bad bargain, wasn’t it?

However, the young man’s expression grew complicated again.

He seemed conflicted and awkwardly said:

“Because in their hearts, your strength isn’t enough to make them submit; but I’m strong…”

Hearing this, Jiang Ye looked down at him with a strange gaze: “You, strong?”

The young man was speechless inside, thinking who knew the big boss was playing dumb while hiding so deeply!

A mere Reincarnation Ghost, a soul entity without a physical body, how could he have such a high spirit attribute?

How did that spirit attribute grow? Ridiculous!

And the so-called weak cremains that can’t be destroyed no matter what!

Damn, isn’t that basically no weakness at all?!

If you’d said you were that strong earlier…

Who the hell would dare steal your cremains!

I’m seriously just looking for trouble!

In his heart, the young man cursed the ancestors of Yu Mo and Wu Wang profusely.
