Chapter 599: The Battle Between Good and Evil

"This time we really made a big gain."

"Jin Yi Wei is considered high-level stuff. This time we basically caught them all, we did gain quite a lot."

"Don’t forget, give me a share."

"Don’t worry, it will be a fair 70-30 split!"

"Oh dear, you’re just a bait, making such a big sacrifice, and only getting 30%? It should at least be divided equally."

"…You really are a clever person acting clueless."

"Then let’s split it evenly, don’t make me come begging with a sword."

The two evil sorcerers and wicked cultivators were conversing politely and harmoniously.

Before long, they managed to capture the rest of the Jin Yi Wei, who were either injured, immobilized, or unconscious. It was effortless for them to annihilate the group with little effort.

Only a few individuals retained their consciousness.

These few people were powerless, betrayed by their most trusted superiors. Most of them were reduced to corpses, likely dying without any clear reason.

If this were a movie, perhaps a protagonist could emerge from here, surviving great adversity, and seeking revenge against their superiors.

Unfortunately, this is not a movie, and conscious people can only watch their companions being transformed into cows and sheep with Animal Transformation Art.

The office worker shouted angrily with red eyes, "Cang Jinglei, I hope you rot in hell! As a Jin Yi Wei, as a team leader, you betrayed us."

The vendor glanced teasingly at Cang Jinglei and took out a piece of sheepskin. "How annoying, the sound of sheep is cuter…"

Cang Jinglei shook his head and said. It doesn’t matter, let them curse as much as they want, it’s satisfying to listen to.

The office worker, who had received higher education, was not very good at insulting others. If it were a vegetable seller, they could spend several hours exchanging insults without changing words.

He spoke less than three hundred words and was already running out of things to say.

"Finished talking?" Cang Jinglei rubbed his chin playfully and said. Now let me tell you a fact. First of all, I didn’t betray you, but I had a purpose when I infiltrated and mixed in with you all. Right from the beginning, we weren’t a team.

The office worker was stunned and said. Right from the beginning, you were…

"That’s right, ever since the first day we met, I was, and if we talk about betrayal, this wasn’t the first time I betrayed you all. Several strange missions in the past ended in failure, with hostages dying or the enemy escaping. Do you think it was all just a coincidence?" Cang Jinglei grinned. Hahaha, look at your stupid faces. Only now do you realize it? Better late than never… even the team leader position, I obtained it because the previous one died. Didn’t you find his death suspicious?

The office worker felt a chill. It’s no wonder that he had been living a life of alternating ease and tension these years. Many of them he intentionally let go, and many others he intentionally lured to boost his performance, excluding dissenters.

He said calmly, "Indeed, there are evil cultivators like you who fabricate false identities and then parasitize the organization. You are impressive and cunning enough to even deceive your own conscience."

"Any mechanism has loopholes that can be easily noticed if you know in advance. Do you think I’m the first person to infiltrate the Jin Yi Wei?" Cang Jinglei shook his head. "You workers, filled with youthful passion, are completely ignorant of the ways of the world."

The office worker cursed. You don’t deserve to belittle our beliefs! You are just a selfish and self-serving evil cultivator. Do you think we will be wiped out completely and you can still remain in your position? You will be ruined too. As long as there is even a trace of evidence left, you will undergo dozens of interrogations. You can’t escape. The Jin Yi Wei will chase after you to the ends of the earth…

Cang Jinglei sighed. Indeed, this identity can no longer be used.

The vendor grinned. Then just switch to a new one.

Cang Jinglei touched his face and peeled off a bloody face skin.

"Skin, mask…" the office worker was stunned for a moment.

"This is an incredibly realistic human skin mask. When you tear it off, it even takes a layer of flesh with it. It’s truly painful," Cang Jinglei turned his face, revealing many disfigured and incomplete patches of skin, exposing large areas of white bone and muscle, horrifying and terrifying.

"You…"

"For us, changing identities is not difficult. It only requires killing the original person and taking their place." Cang Jinglei laughed in a low voice, "You don’t think I am Cang Jinglei himself, do you? He is indeed a righteous person, with potential and drive. It was his conscience that led him to this position. So I killed him and took his place. This is actually my third replacement, so I am not Cang Jinglei. You should call me the Faceless Man."

The office worker’s eyes narrowed in fury, "You goddamn…!"

Turns out that Paole was already dead from the beginning. He angrily wished he could rush forward and bite off this person’s neck.

Not only did this sorcerer deceive them, but he also deceived Cang Jinglei’s family and colleagues for many years.

The Faceless Man crouched down, grabbing Jin Yi Wei’s face with a cold expression, "We are sorcerers, we don’t need to follow any rules with you. The world is already chaotic, and I prefer the historical jianghu. The conflict between righteousness and evil is interesting. Now the righteous path dominates, as if they want to exterminate the sorcerers. It’s your actions that have forced us to change our perspectives. It’s all your own doing."

Jin Yi Wei sneered. Are you implying that someone forced you onto the path of sorcery? Clearly, you are the perpetrators, scum who disrupt social order, yet you place yourselves in the position of victims.

"It’s up to you how you think," the Faceless Man exerted pressure with his five fingers, "But now I am the one in charge here. You can only live if I allow it, and if I decide to kill you, you will die, and it will be extremely miserable!"

The office worker fell to the ground, their forehead hitting the green bricks, blood flowing profusely.

"You’ve said too much." The vendor reminded. The matter of the bitter boat shouldn’t be known by him, including the identity swap. If this level of secret is leaked, do you know what it would mean?

"So it must be handled cleanly." The faceless man asked, with his hands crossed. You wouldn’t mind losing one, would you?

The vendor didn’t say anything, turned around to deal with other Jin Yi Wei.

The faceless man smirked as he looked at the young man in his thirties, still full of passion. He knew the other’s name and his past experiences, even every promotion and achievement. It was because of this that he would say some true words.

Because the process of destroying and tormenting someone’s innermost being is interesting.

The process of giving someone despair is satisfying.

Being able to express one’s thoughts and release years of pent-up pressure.

The struggle between righteousness and evil, even after so many years, has never truly come to an end.

Humans will yearn for power, yearn for stronger martial arts, and yearn for all-encompassing mysteries… Competition is the essence, human desires and ambitions cannot be filled, strength is never enough. Geniuses can soar on the path of the great Dao, the second generation can benefit from the efforts made by their ancestors, but mediocre or ordinary people who want to catch up must take the difficult path and shortcuts.

In the eyes of the faceless, the difference in cultivation lies here, between the righteous and the evil, between the main road and the side path… The so-called morality and social consensus tend to protect the weak, that’s why advocating for so-called fairness is ridiculous, because there has never been fairness in history. Cultivation is competition, survival is competition, even if the main road is spacious enough, it cannot accommodate everyone. There will always be people left in the valley and others falling behind.

The demonic path believes in social Darwinism, a simplified law of the jungle, but in the end, they lost to the righteous path chosen by the masses throughout history.

The righteous path flaunts its power openly, while the demonic cultivators struggle in secrecy, fleeing abroad or becoming displaced.

The latter can only survive within the systems of the former, replacing their identities, lurking in the shadows, then gathering allies to slowly grow stronger.

The light is dazzling and beautiful, but behind every light, there is always a shadow. The bigger the light, the larger the shadow beneath it.

Days like these make the already twisted demonic cultivators even more twisted. The faceless have changed identities too many times, and their mental split has become more severe.

He is not the only one, not the first, nor the last. The suppressed conflict between the righteous and the demonic will eventually resurge.

The faceless person gave a spoiler, but also a prophecy.

"You will lose." The office worker lifted a blood-drenched face and chuckled hoarsely, "You will be defeated just like last time. This world doesn’t belong to your demonic path, but to every ordinary being. Because you don’t understand this truth, you are destined to fail. Just by relying on yourselves, you don’t have the ability to contend with the righteous path, let alone the qualifications to change the structure of the Ming Country."

The faceless person glanced at him with disgust and kicked him, losing interest in continuing to speak.

Even before dying, he held onto such hopes, as if he was the winner, even though he was about to die.

This didn’t make him happy, the satisfying dopamine stopped being released, leaving only boredom.

"Boring… so boring." The faceless person clicked his tongue. "Well, anyway, you won’t live to see that day."

He planned to finish off this Jin Yi Wei like this. He had heard too much and it needed to be dealt with cleanly.

The merchant beside him couldn’t be bothered to watch this scene. He continued to use the Animal Transformation Art. He ran out of the pre-prepared animal fur and went inside to get another roll. In front of him was a Jin Yi Wei who had fainted. He covered him with the fur, then calmly performed the spell. The fur shook for a moment, shrunk inward, and then stopped moving.

The spell didn’t work.

The merchant froze for a moment, then clasped his hands together again and started the spell. The fur shrank even more, but when it touched the person’s skin, it returned to its original state.

"Huh?" The merchant didn’t understand. How could it have failed? Was the fur damaged or expired?

He lifted up the fur, but couldn’t see the person beneath it. A hand reached out and gently pressed on his head.

His head went into the floor, eyes looking up.

The faceless person heard the noise and turned around, also hearing a complaint.

"Being too mysterious has its consequences, it blocks many spells. It has its pros and cons. I wanted to wait a little longer, I’ve heard some exciting news. Maybe if I lie here a little longer, I might even reveal my bank card password, to make up for my loss of five hundred thousand…"

The young man reluctantly stood up, standing like an emperor on the earth.
