CHAPTER 559: CHAPTER 561 UNEXPECTED PERSON!

Yang Yan stood in the void, his gaze shifting as he looked over.

At the moment he saw the other person’s figure clearly, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

It was a young man who looked exactly like someone he had seen before!

"Tang Bo!" he exclaimed in surprise.

It was truly unexpected!

Because Yang Yan had personally witnessed Tang Bo’s death in the Ancient Buddha of Great Compassion Ruins.

Reduced to just bones!

Yet now the person was intact, hands behind his back, walking out.

This made Yang Yan feel both amazed and incredulous.

"Is he the real Tang Bo, or a fake?" Yang Yan immediately thought.

His eyes shone as he fixed his True Profound Immortal Pupil on the other’s forehead.

Anyone transformed by a Black Shadow imitation would have a number on their forehead.

No exceptions in the room!

And presumably no exceptions for others either!

"No!" Yang Yan even wanted to rub his eyes.

If he thought it was unbelievable before, he now found it even more so.

The person before him was not a Tang Bo shaped by a Black Shadow.

But the real Tang Bo!

"Why is this happening?" Yang Yan wondered.

He was taken aback!

If this Tang Bo was the True Man, then there was only one possibility!

"The Tang Bo outside is the fake one!"

Yang Yan understood!

It had been reversed!

"The Tang Bo outside must have substituted the bone on his forehead with the Buddha Bone Map!"

Yang Yan recalled that he had indeed never seen the forehead of the Tang Bo outside.

Because the forehead bone of the outside Tang Bo had no numbers and wasn’t his original skull.

It bore the Buddha Bone Map of the Ancient Buddha of Great Compassion Ruins!

"The fake Tang Bo had his body occupied by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Then they controlled him to bring me into the Ancient Buddha of Great Compassion Ruins!"

Thinking this clarified things.

And recalling it, at the time, Tang Bo hadn’t shown signs of being controlled by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons.

His behavior became erratic and strange.

Perhaps it wasn’t just due to the Ancestor’s manipulation but also because he was merely a Black Shadow, imitating a True Man!

This led to the changeable temper, unlike a True Man!

"This suggests that Black Shadows imitating others and taking human form.

Did not just happen today, but started long ago.

Many people outside might not be themselves!"

Those who have visited the Ancient Fairy Sect Ruins and seen the flying ships might largely not be themselves anymore!

"Replaced by Black Shadows!" Yang Yan thought. "What are they planning after replacing them?"

His gaze followed Tang Bo’s movements until Tang Bo stood before everyone.

Whoosh!

All those present turned Black Shadows knelt before Tang Bo without exception.

Tang Bo stood at the forefront!

This Tang Bo was entirely different from the one outside, with a cold and ruthless expression.

"This time, many of you have infiltrated!" Tang Bo said coldly.

He had seen it!

He saw that among those imitated by Black Shadows, there were outsiders.

Upon hearing this, the infiltrators below remained motionless, but their faces noticeably changed.

"Still keeping silent? Do you really think I can’t see?" Tang Bo said indifferently.

The tense atmosphere made a young man unable to restrain himself and suddenly stand up.

"It’s me, I infiltrated to uncover the truth and rescue my brother!

Villain, tell me where my brother is, hand him over quickly!" he shouted.

Tang Bo’s expression remained indifferent.

"Do you think you’re in a position to question me?"

With a wave of his hand, an invisible, intangible force swept across.

It struck the young man’s body, and suddenly.

The young man was shattered by that force, turning into ash.

Not even a scream was heard!

This method was much stronger than the Tang Bo outside!

"What about the others?" Tang Bo spoke again.

Besides him knowing who the infiltrators were, Yang Yan also knew.

There were four infiltrators!

Three men, one woman!

They kept their composure, keeping their heads down without moving.

"Since you won’t step forward, I’ll make my move!"

Tang Bo blew a breath, transforming it into a gust of wind that swept over the kneeling people before him.

The three men and one woman mixed in were lifted by the wind.

He found them all!

Not a single mistake!

It only took a breath!

The four who emerged no longer concealed themselves.

They attacked Tang Bo together.

Tang Bo let out a cold laugh, then waved his hand again.

A tornado formed, sweeping the four into the ship’s cabin.

Bam, bam, bam!

The sound of doors closing came from inside!

"Have they all been locked up?"

Yang Yan, having come this far, had some guesses.

Anyone who got locked up might be swallowed by darkness and become a Black Shadow!

"All right, all the infiltrators have been captured.

Next, I’ll tell you some things you need to do when you leave!" Tang Bo said loudly.

"First, properly disguise yourselves as the people you’ve imitated, so no one else finds out.

Second, of those of you who have transformed into the same person, only one can remain as the True Man.

The others hide in the shadows, helping him conceal himself!

If he dies, let the next substitute take his place.

Third, every three months, I’ll send someone to contact you.

You must inform them about any treasures or hidden treasure locations!

Fourth, if someone suggests you come to West Soil to find treasure, you must come.

Also, bring more people with you!

Fifth..."

Tang Bo continued giving instructions and advice.

A total of sixteen points, and after he finished.

"I’ll point out those among you who are the main bodies as Imitators!"

Tang Bo moved through the crowd, tapping on each Black Shadow-formed person.

The remaining people resembling those who were pointed out turned back into Black Shadows, merging into the tapped person’s body.

Four merged into one, seven into one, and so on!

Yang Yan’s figure appeared next to the Shadow shaped like him at this moment.

His hand penetrated the void and grabbed the other’s neck.

He squeezed hard, killing the other.

Yet immediately, the other raised his head again.

Yang Yan realized this was seven Black Shadows combined, indicating the other might have seven lives!

He continued to take action, strangling all seven who had taken on his form.

His emergence caught the eye of Tang Bo.

"Oh? There’s another person who sneaked in, and I didn’t even notice!" Tang Bo squinted slightly.

Yang Yan released his hand, and the seven shadows he had killed fell to the ground.

Just like True Men, they died with their eyes open.

He absorbed all the power from their bodies, devouring it.

"You all leave, I’ll deal with this one!" Tang Bo said calmly without a trace of panic.

The other Black Shadow forms shifted and disappeared from view.

Yang Yan didn’t bother with them, only watched Tang Bo.

He intended to deal with Tang Bo!

"I didn’t expect the Tang Bo I met outside to be a form of a Black Shadow!"

Tang Bo frowned.

"You’ve met me outside?"

"Yes, in West Soil.

There was a bond of brotherhood between us!" Yang Yan said.

Tang Bo’s frown eased.

"Brotherhood? Seems like we have a good relationship.

I originally intended to kill you directly!

Since we were once brothers!

Even if that one was just a Black Shadow form, you had a connection with him.

It’s not with me, the main body, but it counts as some bond!

I’ll show you mercy outside the law, sparing your life!

Allowing you to stay and serve our master with me!"

He had a master?

He wasn’t the one in power!

"What if I refuse?" Yang Yan said firmly.

Tang Bo smirked.

"It’s quite fun here, you’ll agree, I’ll first send you to have some fun.

After that, you can answer me.

Of course!

Remember!

If you disagree, I will have no choice but to mercilessly turn you into a Shadow!"

He waved his hand again, and a dark aura enveloped Yang Yan.

Yang Yan struck, tearing apart the darkness before him.

Before him was no longer the spacious platform of the tenth level, but a room.

Inside the room, he was not alone.

In the corner stood another person.

"Who are you?" The other person noticed Yang Yan and spoke coldly.

The voice was a woman’s!

Yang Yan looked and found it was the only woman among the five infiltrators!

Wearing a white gown, with an exceptional air about her.

"My name is Yang Yan!"

She quickly took two steps forward, approaching.

"You are Yang Yan!!!"
