Chapter 15839 Report
The External Affairs Hall is a place specifically set up for ordinary disciples. They can receive missions here, and if they make any discoveries while doing missions outside, they can also report them here. The reports from disciples will then be reported up the chain of command. Therefore, the External Affairs Hall is very important for low-level disciples.

The area where Qin Luo and his group were located was the residential area for low-level disciples. The Foreign Affairs Hall here was quite large, as many low-level disciples would come here to receive missions. The Foreign Affairs Hall had four floors, each covering an area of ​​about a thousand square meters, making it a very large building.

The first floor of the Foreign Affairs Hall is where missions are received and submitted, the second floor is where special missions are issued, the third floor is where disciples report what they encounter while out on missions, and the fourth floor is where some of the Foreign Affairs Hall staff work.

Qin Luo went straight to the third floor, which consisted of individual rooms, unlike the lobby on the first floor. Qin Luo went directly to a room, knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Come in."

Qin Luo then pushed open the door and went inside. As soon as he entered the room, he saw two people sitting behind a counter. The two people were a man and a woman. The man looked to be in his fifties, with graying hair and a serious expression, but his eyes were green, which looked very eerie.

The woman looked to be only in her early twenties and was very beautiful, but her face was cold and her eyes were vertical pupils like those of a snake.

As soon as the man saw Qin Luo enter, he greeted him, "Is there something you need? Come and sit down."

Qin Luo responded and walked to the man's counter, where a chair was placed. Qin Luo pulled out the chair and sat down, then said, "Elder, when I went to the Demon Blade Sect to order a sword, I discovered something that I think is very important, so I came to report it."

The man nodded, then picked up a piece of paper and a pen, and said to Qin Luo, "Tell me in detail."

Qin Luo responded and then said, "It's like this. I'm using a sword, but my old sword wasn't working well anymore. Later, I obtained a Shadow Stone, so I wanted to order a new sword and get rid of my old one. I went to the Demon Sword Sect. Everything was normal when I disposed of my old sword, and everything was normal when I ordered the new one. But when I came out after ordering the new sword, I encountered a disciple of the Demon Sword Sect, and I discovered something strange about that disciple."

He paused here, and the man glanced at him, knowing that he was keeping Qin Luo in suspense. However, he did not give Qin Luo a friendly look. He had been working here for many years, and disciples would come here every day to tell all sorts of stories. However, not many of these stories were true. He was used to it.

Seeing the man's appearance, Qin Luo stopped keeping him in suspense and said, "After I finished ordering the longsword, I went downstairs from their building. When I went downstairs, I encountered a disciple of the Demon Blade Sect. That disciple was carrying several longswords and walking upstairs. At first, I didn't notice him, but later I noticed that one of the longswords had cut his arm. I was pointing it out to him when I discovered something very strange. I found that the longsword had cut a wound on his arm, and the wound was quite long. But the strange thing is that the man didn't seem to feel anything, and there was no blood flowing from his wound."

Qin Luo paused again at this point, and this time the man listened more attentively and began to take notes on the paper. Seeing that Qin Luo had stopped, the man finally spoke, "And then?"

Qin Luo said, "When I saw that man's appearance, I thought of corpse refining. Only refined corpses can not feel pain or bleed, so I paid attention to it. I stayed at the inn outside their Demon Blade Hall. When they finished get off work in the evening, I followed that man to his courtyard. In the middle of the night, I sneaked into his courtyard and used sleeping incense to knock him out. Then I carefully observed that the Demon Blade Sect member. I found that the wound on his arm was indeed not bleeding and had been treated, but it was just covered up and no medicine was used. I also found that although he was breathing and had a heartbeat, he had no life in his body. At the same time, his skin felt as cold as a dead man."

Both the man and the woman were captivated by Qin Luo's words. The man took notes very seriously, and the woman also perked up her ears.

Qin Luo continued, "After leaving that man's courtyard, I rested for a night and thought about it all night. I felt that the man's situation was very strange. I had to report this to the sect, but I was also worried that it was an isolated case, so I waited another day. That night, I followed another disciple of the Demon Blade Sect to his courtyard. This time, they lived in a large courtyard with three people inside. That night, I used sleeping incense to knock them out, then sneaked into their room and carefully observed them. I found that their conditions were all the same: they were breathing, had heartbeats, but were not alive, and their skin was as cold as a dead person's. At this point, I was certain that this was not an isolated case. In the following days, while waiting for the Long Blade Sect, I observed the people of the Demon Blade Sect. I found that they could act like normal people..." They communicate in this way, they can talk, they can cultivate, and from the outside they look the same as normal people. But if you get close to them, you'll find that they have no life, their skin is as cold as a corpse. I call this kind of person the living dead. I observed the situation of dozens of disciples of the Demon Blade Sect those days, both men and women, and their situation was all the same. So I have a lot of reason to believe that everyone in the Demon Blade Sect has become like that. Now I just don't know whether they became like that voluntarily or involuntarily. If they became like that voluntarily, then it means that they must have some way to turn themselves into that state. If they became like that involuntarily, then it means that someone turned them into that state. I think that no matter which possibility it is, our sect must take it seriously.” The man wrote down everything Qin Luo said. After Qin Luo finished speaking, he finished writing as well. Then he handed the paper to Qin Luo and said, “Take a careful look and see if what I wrote is correct.”

Qin Luo took the paper, looked at it carefully, and found that everything written on it was correct. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, all of it is correct."

The man said, "That's good. Sign here. The situation you reported is indeed noteworthy. I will report it immediately." Qin Luo responded, then took the pen the man handed him and signed the paper.

After he finished signing, the man put the paper away and said to Qin Luo, "You should go back now. The sect will send someone to verify what you said. If it is confirmed that what you said is true, the sect will definitely reward you." Qin Luo responded, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the man and woman, and then turned and left.

After Qin Luo left, the man immediately said to the woman, "Keep an eye on things here. I'll report this immediately. He's right, this matter must be reported."

The woman responded, and then the man left. He went up to the fourth floor and reported the matter. The fourth floor was where the elder in charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall was located. After seeing what Qin Luo had reported, he took it very seriously and immediately reported it to his superiors again. Finally, after going through layers of reporting, the paper recording Qin Luo's report was placed on the desk of the Hell Gate Master.

The gatekeeper of Hell's Gate picked up the paper and glanced at its contents. His eyes lit up. He knew that Hell's Gate had been conducting a secret experiment, unknown to many. Very few people in the entire Hell's Gate knew about it. The experiment was to see how to refine a corpse while preserving its intelligence and memories of its previous life. In fact, this was an alternative method for seeking the help of elders.

The people of Hellgate discovered that no matter how strong you are, even if you reach the Kingdom level, you will eventually die. They pursue the path to immortality. Since normal cultivation cannot make them immortal, they can only think of other ways. So they came up with this method to see if they could refine people into battle corpses. You should know that battle corpses can theoretically live forever unless they are killed, which is why they have been conducting such experiments.

But after so many years, they had not succeeded. Now, upon seeing this news, the leader of the Gate of Hell was greatly encouraged. He felt that their experiments over the years might finally yield results.

Upon thinking of this, he immediately said, "Someone come here." Immediately, a disciple entered and bowed to him. He immediately said, "Invite the hall masters of each branch hall here."

The disciple responded and immediately went to fetch the people. Before long, all the hall masters of the various branches of the Hell Gate arrived at the sect master's study. After the sect master invited them to sit down, he handed them the paper and said, "Take a look, this is intelligence brought up by a disciple."

The hall masters took turns looking at the contents of the paper. When they finished reading, a look of excitement appeared on their faces. After everyone had finished reading, one of the hall masters spoke up: "Sect Master, if this is true, then we have hope of immortality. I think we should immediately send troops to the Demon Blade Sect, wipe them out, and force them to tell us why they became like that."

The other elders all nodded in agreement, but the sect leader frowned and said, “Nonsense! That will only alert them. We must proceed step by step. I think we should first send someone to the Demon Blade Sect to investigate and see if the people there have truly become living dead, as that disciple said. If so, then we can take further action.”
