Chapter 77

For Qin Peng, Wang Qi's actions indeed stirred up the snakes in the grass, and indeed made him feel a sense of vigilance. However, neither Wang Qi nor Wang Shishi could have thought that at this moment, Qin Peng was not thinking about how to avoid Wang Qi, but rather how to kill him.

Lin Qingyu's combat power after her transformation was one hundred, yet she easily defeated Odd, whose combat power was nineteen thousand, along with the Hell Dragon that accompanied Odd. Now, Qin Peng's combat power after his transformation could reach thirty. Qin Peng did not know how strong his combat power would be after the transformation, but he believed that taking down Wang Qi would not be a problem.

Qin Peng was never one to leave behind potential threats. At the time, he did not eliminate Wang Qi because he did not truly understand his own strength. But now, after witnessing the battle between Lin Qingyu and Odd, he had a clear understanding of just how terrifying his strength was. A mere combat power of four thousand was not something he would take seriously after his transformation.

Now, the question was how to choose the right moment to take down Wang Qi. He did not know how to grasp Wang Qi's movements.

The Qin family rose too quickly and did not have any loyal subordinates. True noble families had trained assassins who were willing to oppose the human government for their family. However, the Qin family lacked such a foundation. To put it bluntly, none of the experts the Qin family had recruited were truly clean.

Qin Peng could not rely on Su Shiming's strength. He would not seek help from Su Xinghe. If he used Su Shiming's strength, his own power would be exposed.

"This is really a headache!" Qin Peng muttered to himself.

"Master, there's no need to worry. Actually, if you want to monitor Wang Qi, I do have a way!" At this moment, Odd suddenly spoke.

"Oh, do tell!" Qin Peng immediately perked up. At critical moments, Odd was still somewhat useful.

Odd quickly said, "Master, I can create wraiths. As long as you hunt some living beings, I can extract their souls, recombine them, and form wraith-like creatures. These wraiths will not be absorbed into the Netherworld but can exist in the real world and follow your orders to monitor people. It's really quite simple. In the future, as the wraiths grow, they can even attack your enemies for you. However, it will take a long time to create such wraiths!"

"Is there such a thing?" Qin Peng immediately narrowed his eyes, inwardly amazed: "The abilities of the Undead are indeed terrifying. They play with the souls of the dead, ensuring that even if you die, you will not rest in peace!"

"Yes, Master. This is a common method used by the Undead. On Lansha Star, I used these wraiths to determine the areas where humans appeared. Later, I met Lin Qingyu!" Odd answered honestly.

Qin Peng nodded slightly and then frowned, "However, what is this Netherworld you mentioned? Is it the place where souls go after death?"

"Yes, Master!" Odd answered honestly, "This place is called the Underworld or the Netherworld by humans. After death, souls enter here and are constrained by the laws. Souls are re-baptized and then assigned to be reborn, either as plants, animals, or even as members of other races."

Qin Peng frowned slightly, "So, the Netherworld is just a place that splits and recombines souls, then releases them to be reborn? I mean, there's no scheming or deceit in this world?"

"Yes, Master!" Odd answered calmly, "The Netherworld is like that. It has no consciousness, and no one can occupy it. The Netherworld is responsible for absorbing and releasing souls, forming new lives. This is the law, the order, which no one can violate. However, there are powerful beings whose souls do not perish and do not enter the Netherworld. Once they enter, they are doomed to die!"

Qin Peng nodded slightly, "I understand. Now, tell me how to create wraiths!"

"This is a natural ability of the Undead. Humans cannot create them until they reach a certain level of strength. All you need to do is hunt some living beings, and I will control their souls to form the wraiths you need. As for the strength of these wraiths, you can rest assured. Unless they are star-level beings, it is almost impossible for them to detect these wraiths. However, it is best to use intelligent beings. The souls of animals do not possess intelligence!" Odd answered quickly.

"Hunt some living beings?" Qin Peng muttered to himself, feeling a bit conflicted. "He knew that hunting some living beings was actually quite simple, but hunting intelligent beings meant hunting humans."

No, Qin Peng suddenly thought, intelligent beings are not just humans; there are other beings, like the Terrans.

"Odd, how long do the souls of the dead remain in this world?" Qin Peng suddenly asked.

"Based on human time, their souls will remain in this world for 168 hours. For stronger beings, the stronger they are, the longer their souls will remain. According to the human realm classification, if they are at the True Dao realm, their souls will remain longer and have a chance to become what humans call ghosts!" Odd answered.

"168 hours, that's seven days and seven nights. For True Dao realm beings, it's even longer. The cleansing of the Terran natives will take about nine days. This time should be sufficient!" Qin Peng pondered. If he wanted to obtain the souls of the Terrans, it would not take as long.

"Let's go and see!"

Qin Peng's mind made up, he immediately left the room and quickly drove his private spacecraft. Qin Peng was extremely protective of his privacy. Although he was now considered a member of a wealthy family, he rarely let anyone know his secrets.

His private spacecraft was secretly purchased and stored in a hidden location, and no one knew that it was Qin Peng's private spacecraft. When he installed it, Qin Peng had it scanned by a computer to ensure his safety. There were no tracking devices on the spacecraft.

Swoosh!

The speed of the private spacecraft was extremely fast. Initially, it took Qin Peng about half an hour to travel in the school's large warship, but his private spacecraft was much faster. In just over ten minutes, he had already arrived in the Gorye Mountains.

Qin Peng jumped out of the private spacecraft, which circled and hid in the clouds.

Although it had only been about nine days, Qin Peng could still feel the brutality of the entire Gorye Mountains. Faced with the human army's campaign, the Terrans had virtually no resistance. Although nine days had passed, the Terrans were almost completely exterminated.

The first wave of the human army's sweep had almost completely wiped out the Terrans. The next step was to divide and clear small areas.

With the current human technology, nine days was already considered a small-scale war.

Walking through the mountains, Qin Peng could feel a cold and eerie atmosphere.

A cold wind blew, making Qin Peng feel a chill.

"Master, please do not be surprised. I will activate the special ability of the Undead, allowing you to see the existence of the wraiths!" Odd's voice echoed in Qin Peng's mind. Suddenly, Qin Peng felt his eyes vibrate, and the scene before him changed.

Immediately, Qin Peng's whole body trembled. The cold wind was actually a swarm of wraiths. These wraiths were rushing towards him, filled with boundless hatred and resentment, looking at him with a desire to tear him apart.

Although the wraiths rushed towards Qin Peng, he had a natural aura of yang, which protected him from their malevolent intentions. However, if someone weaker were to be attacked by these wraiths, they would likely fall ill.

"Seems like there are quite a few of them!" Qin Peng muttered, a cold smile appearing on his face.

He did not sympathize with the Terrans; they did not deserve it. Qin Peng still remembered the scene of the Terrans roasting humans on a spit and the rape of a female student. If humans were not strong enough, they would have been treated like slaves by these alien races. Sympathy is the attitude of the strong towards the weak, and before the strong can sympathize with the weak, they must first be strong enough.

"These wraiths of the Terran aliens are just what I need to put to good use!" Qin Peng sneered and shouted to Odd inside his body, "Odd, start now! Transform all their souls into wraiths!"

"Yes, my master!" Odd shouted and whistled out of Qin Peng's body.
