My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

"Ah Niu, where are we going?"

Against the storm, the three of them stepped on driftwood at one moment and leaned on the roof at the other. Without exquisite movement techniques, it was indeed quite difficult to walk.

"Don't worry. You'll know when we get there."

Ah Niu stood steadily in the wind and rain. When his voice was heard, it was slightly muffled by the wind, so the two of them did not notice the emotionless coldness in his words.

Da Qiang and Da Chen were a little helpless, but they had already followed the other party out. Since they could not turn back, they could only follow their 'friend' and continue forward.

After walking for a long time, Ah Niu finally brought them to a large and thick tree.

"Is this it? What are you showing us?"

At this moment, the two of them were already exhausted to the point of gasping for breath. Even if they were at the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm, they would not have much stamina left after working overtime for three consecutive days. Coupled with the fact that they had been rushing all the way here, they were really exhausted.

However, the tree was located in a good location. It seemed that because of the higher altitude, the surrounding area was not flooded by water. The feeling of being on solid ground made them feel much more comfortable.

Ah Niu reached out and patted the tree. The tree immediately split open, forming a tree hole that could fit a person.

"Come, come in first. You'll know when you come in." Ah Niu replied.

After asking several times, Ah Niu refused to give a positive response. The two of them finally noticed something amiss.

Coupled with the unfamiliarity between the other party's two days of absence and words, the two of them looked at each other and took a step back.

"Ah Niu! Are you…"

Bang! Bang!

But it was too late!

Unknowingly, a black figure had already flashed behind them. After two muffled sounds, the eyes of Da Qiang and Da Chen rolled back as they lost consciousness.

The black shadow stepped forward and pried open their right hands. Sure enough, in their palms, they were already holding onto the lightning cracker that the sect had given them, ready to trigger it at any moment.

The black figure skillfully removed the lightning cracker and stuffed it into his pockets. At this moment, Ah Niu walked over.

"Junior Brother, how could I forget you when I have good things to share? Don't worry, you'll become an inner sect disciple soon."

He and the black shadow dragged the two of them into the tree hole. After that, the tree hole closed, and no one could see any abnormalities on the surface.

...

A moment later, the water nearby suddenly churned slightly, and a person wearing a grayish-blue mask emerged from the bottom of the water.

"You want to shake me off after throwing away your mask? You're looking down on me too much."

Long after the first person disappeared, Jiang Li had already forcefully planted a seed in the two of them. As long as there was no special shielding like the Yin Burial Coffin, it was very difficult to escape his pursuit.

Jiang Li walked forward step by step and broke free from the puddles. In order to not be discovered by them, Jiang Li relied on the fact that he was not afraid of drowning and dived all the way from the bottom.

"What's with this tree? Is it a Wood attribute spell technique?"

Jiang Li patted the tree but did not find any issues. He had a Wood attribute spiritual root, but even he could not discover this entrance. The person who set it up really had some methods.

However, he did not have to care about this matter. As long as he confirmed the exact location, all he had to do was report and ask for help.

He raised his wrist and shook it towards the sky. Jiang Li was about to shoot the lightning cracker.

A glaring red light blossomed in his palm. In the next moment, the red light shot straight up into the sky. In the pitch-black night, it drew a striking red line before exploding into a ball of light that could light up the surroundings.

The brightness could be seen clearly even by the flying ship floating far away from the city.

Furthermore, the red line and bright spot, which were based on some unknown technique, did not dissipate for a long time in the wind and rain, becoming the most conspicuous sign.

On the other hand, Jiang Li was slightly surprised, and he sized up the surroundings under the illumination of the ball of light.

He had deliberately slowed down just now, but no one came out to stop him?

"Junior Brother, are you looking for me?"

On the tree, the tree hole opened again, and the black figure from before walked out unhurriedly.

Under the illumination of the ball of light in the sky, Jiang Li finally saw the other party's face clearly.

"Oh? Is Senior Brother Guo An here to relax?"

The person who came out of the tree hole was the so-called outer sect's Eldest Senior Brother, Guo An!

Guh!

While the two of them spoke, their movements were not slow in the slightest. Jiang Li's hand struck towards the other party's chest.

However, he was still too late. His black fingernails had just touched the other party's clothes when a golden needle more than two feet long pierced through his body.

His attack lost its threat immediately.

This golden needle magic artifact had a special power. Jiang Li's body instantly slowed down, and his attack movements seemed to have been slowed down by ten times. It was easily dodged by Guo An.

Pew! Pew!

His slow movements were utterly unable to effectively dodge or counterattack. Another two golden needles were inserted into his body, and the spirit energy on the three golden needles formed a special kind of shackle. This time, "Jiang Li" was completely unable to move.

"Senior Brother Guo An… or rather, one of the inner sect senior brothers, looks like you don't plan to kill me right now?"

Jiang Li, who was sealed by the golden needles, did not stop talking. He still calmly and amicably chatted with the other party.

Guo An paused, then returned to normal. Without answering his question, he dragged "Jiang Li" into the tree hole.

"Senior Brother is really cold. We're all fellow disciples of the same sect. We can't fight like this, right?"

Guo An remained silent.

"Alright, alright. Senior Brother Guo An, if you let me off, I'll introduce you to Elder Red Hair and make you his registered disciple. The benefits are good!"

"You don't want that? Senior Brother's appetite is too big. How about I introduce you to a Dao companion?"

"You don't want this either? Looks like I'm really doomed this time."

"Then, on the account that I'm about to die, answer me a question. Senior Brother, why didn't you stop me from giving the signal earlier? If the sect elders come, you wouldn't have a good ending, right?"

Jiang Li tried all sorts of nonsense, trying to divert the other party's attention and not pay attention to some of the small actions on his body.

It was unknown what "Guo An" was thinking in his heart. He glanced at the chattering Jiang Li and actually opened his mouth to reply.

"Once you join us, so what if the sect elders come?" As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Li into the tree hole.

Jiang Li was surprised by his confidence.

Logically speaking, although the soul control method and possession method were not full of flaws, it was very difficult to hide them from a careful inspection.

Even Jiang Li, a transmigrator, did not dare to have his soul inspected by others.

Could their methods really be so heaven-defying that even the sect could not discover them?

After entering the tree hole, there was a long and narrow path in front of him before suddenly opening up.

Under the illumination of a ball of spiritual light, there were dozens of people in this small underground space.

"Yu Banxia! The others as well…"

Jiang Li immediately saw Yu Banxia lying motionless at the side and ten white-clothed traitors lying beside him!

They, who had always been feared by the outer sect disciples for the last few days, were lying on the ground at this moment, their chests rising and falling weakly. They were on the verge of death!

Their hair had turned white!

It was not only them, there were also more than twenty outer sect disciples who had been confirmed to be missing. They were also lying on the ground with completely white hair, and they looked as if their entire bodies had been hollowed out and were lying on the ground waiting to die.

Jiang Li recalled the white-haired Scaled Demon he had encountered on his journey to seek immortality and the large fish that had immediately started to turn soft and smelly after the seed was removed.

He roughly understood something.

It seemed that Elder Duan Shuang and Yu Banxia had already encountered something when they were in the Southern Seal Kingdom and had been parasitized by the spiritual root seed.

This caused their personality to change. When they returned to the sect, they suddenly defected for unknown reasons.

It was one thing to be able to parasitize and control mortals!

But that thing could actually control cultivators… including Core Formation cultivators!

It was shocking and unheard of!

When Jiang Li recalled how he had placed the spiritual root seed in front of his nose to smell it and had nearly sent it into his mouth, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked around again and observed the environment carefully, but he did not find the Core Formation realm Elder Duan Shuang.

It seemed that the body of the Core Formation realm was indeed different. It was not easily abandoned like the body of the Qi Refinement realm and the Foundation Establishment realm.

Elder Duan Shuang, who was being controlled, should have separated from them.

On the other side, there were another ten people standing there, and they were all outer sect disciples that Jiang Li had seen earlier. Some of them had been confirmed to have gone missing long ago, and some of them were unknown to him.

It was possible that they had been disguising themselves all this while, or they had just been captured.

For some unknown reason, in a short period of three days, these 11 rebels had changed their bodies at least two to three times.

From the looks of it, they were planning to change their bodies again.

Their target was naturally the three of them who had just been captured.

Da Qiang and Da Chen were placed on the ground. Their mouths were roughly pried open, and two people directly knelt on their bodies, their mouths wide open as they retched.

Jiang Li noticed that the two people's hair started to quickly turn white from the ends of their hair. At the same time, something rolled up their throats and was about to come out.

"The lightning cracker has been used. Hurry up!"

"Alright!"

"Guo An" also threw Jiang Li to the ground. A mid-stage Qi Refinement female disciple that he had seen previously stepped forward and directly pressed him down.

At this moment…

Guh! Guh! Guh!

On the side, Ah Niu, Da Qiang, and Da Chen spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. They looked as if they had suffered a heavy blow at the same time, and their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

"It seems that your methods are actually not that brilliant. At the very least, your memory absorption is incomplete."

It was Jiang Li who had directly triggered the contract, causing the three of them to be on the verge of death.

If they knew about this contract, they would definitely not dare to choose these three bodies.

The two parasites pressing on Da Qiang and Da Chen's bodies had hair that had turned completely white. The spiritual root seeds were already in their mouths, but they could only stop. They could neither swallow nor spit!

"You're courting death!"

"Guo An" stepped forward, grabbed the mask on "Jiang Li's" face, and abruptly tore it off.

However, what appeared before their eyes was a rotting, black zombie face!

It turned out that the one wearing a wooden mask and appearing in front of everyone as Jiang Li was a black zombie all along!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

"It's not over yet, everyone. I still have a big present to give you!"
