"Niu Zuo?"

Hei Shou, who had just arrived at the entrance of the secret passage, turned his head to look. Seeing Niu Zuo still in place, he frowned, various thoughts flashing through his mind. Suddenly, as if he understood something, a look of extreme delight flashed across his face.

"It seems I've caught you red-handed."

He raised his voice, watching Niu Zuo's face turn even more gloomy and unsightly. His heart was filled with unusual pleasure.

Before he could speak again, Niu Zuo said coldly, "You shouldn't die here. You should have died in a more useful place."

Die?

Me?

What a joke!

Hei Shou sneered ferociously.

He couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of whether Niu Zuo had any tricks up his sleeve, he would kill this uncomfortable guy right here!

But just as he was about to make a move...

*Tzzt*

It would affect his subsequent plans.

"I know what you're worried about, Niu Zuo. Give me more Guiying Ci. I can handle more! A hundred shadows is far from my limit!"

The Ninth Princess said excitedly.

Having just obtained power, she was like a monkey with no self-awareness, jumping around and causing annoyance.

"You can't even control a hundred shadows, let alone continue to increase the number of Guiying Ci."

"No! More! Give me more! Only this way can I..."

Hearing that Niu Zuo was no longer giving her Guiying Ci to eat, the Ninth Princess became agitated, and black blood immediately overflowed from her eyes, turning into uncanny eyes.

She, too, was a pseudo-Guiling Gen (false uncanny spirit root).

She had accepted Niu Zuo's modifications.

It was just that the power she accepted was special Guiying Ci.

If the previous Guiling Gen test subjects were considered the first phase,

Then Guiying Ci was the second phase of test subjects.

And the Ninth Princess was the third phase test subject, absorbing Guiying Ci to violently increase her strength.

That unique qualification of the royal family, a physique so powerful it defied the heavens, could actually receive dozens of Guiying Ci, turning them into her own power.

Her strength could advance by leaps and bounds in an instant.

It's just that this kind of improvement would fail.

It took the number of Guiying Ci as its basis.

"It was still because I did many things outside of the organization's tasks in order to create more Guiying Ci, that I was noticed by the higher-ups, causing an investigation and backlash."

Niu Zuo felt a little agitated.

If the First Prince didn't give some kind of reaction soon, he wouldn't be able to resist making a move directly.

Things were almost being forced to the point where he had to make a move.

It was just that the chances of winning were too low that way.

Allies! I need stronger allies!

Just then, a person's figure suddenly flashed in Niu Zuo's mind.

"Him...No! That guy will definitely not become my help, even if I have the True Phoenix Blood in my hand, there is no guarantee that he will sell his life for me."

The person who flashed in Niu Zuo's mind was unexpectedly Fang Yue, who defeated him at Chu Nuan Cheng.

It's just that joining forces with Fang Yue was not an easy task, and in many ways, he was Fang Yue's enemy.

"Niu Zuo, if that guy's transformation fails, can you leave him for me to eat?"

"I'll consider it."

If that guy's transformation failed, then keeping him would be meaningless. It wouldn't matter if he was given to the Ninth Princess to eat.

As the two were saying this, they had already arrived inside the secret room.

In front of them was a huge nutrient tank.

What was placed in the nutrient tank was not Captain Wu, but...[Sword Embryo Body] Tian Ruichi!

However, Tian Ruichi's appearance at the moment was a bit miserable. Both his hands and feet had been cut off and were nowhere to be seen.

Only a body and head remained, supported by the nutrient tank.

"Lord Niu Zuo, the experiment is in its final stages. We will be able to see the results soon."

Niu Zuo nodded slightly.

He could feel that a drastic change was taking place inside Tian Ruichi.

The Ninth Princess next to him licked her lips, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

"As expected, it's delicious. Even at this distance, through this thing, I can't help but drool."

"Restrain yourself. He is very important to my plan."

"Then, what about the one over there?"

What the Ninth Princess was pointing to was unexpectedly another nutrient tank, inside which was Captain Wu, whose back was filled with various tubes.

"That one over there is even more important than this one."

"You're so stingy, Niu Zuo. It wouldn't hurt to give me a little bit."

"Quiet."

Niu Zuo said with some annoyance.

Pulling the Ninth Princess into his camp was really a helpless move.

It could even be said that the Ninth Princess came to his door herself.

After realizing that she would never be able to surpass her other older siblings, the Ninth Princess discovered that Niu Zuo had a special shortcut here.

And this shortcut did indeed improve her strength.

Even though it was only a limited-time Rain-rank, and it was accompanied by an uncanny curse that constantly eroded the body, the Ninth Princess still chose to trade without hesitation.

She needed strength too much!

A person with no power, who started later than her competitors, and had no hope in any aspect, could only choose to take a risk.

Fortunately, joining Niu Zuo's side, this move was not too bad.

"I can't wait, I can't wait to see my imperial brothers and sisters, shocked, astonished, desperate, and regretful expressions as they are killed and fall to the ground by my Rain-rank power."

Thinking of the Mobile Division, the Ninth Princess let out a strange cackle.

Just then, a researcher who came over next to him reported: "Lord Niu Zuo, the transformation is complete."
