Chapter 1365: 1010: A Cultivator’s Hell

The Mirror of Evil is originally a divine artifact of the Underworld, capable of revealing the evil deeds of all beings. The system’s identification is very detailed; this object was once placed in the grand hall of the Underworld, and any soul or ghost entering the Underworld had to pass by the Mirror of Evil to have their deeds judged—whether they would be sent to Hell depended on the reflection.

For some unknown reason, it fell into You Lai’s hands, and he often used it to exploit others’ weaknesses.

Jiang Yuan felt a bit anxious and took a step forward, his mind even recalling the incident from childhood where he stole eggs from the neighbor. Although he was punished and apologized later, he wondered if it would be considered an evil act in the Mirror of Evil.

"Buzz~"

A bright light flashed across the ancient copper mirror, over three meters tall, and then he saw himself neatly dressed, standing in front of the mirror, with no difference from a regular mirror.

"What’s going on? The system identification didn’t mention it needing repair," Jiang Yuan looked around, puzzled as nothing happened. He frowned slightly and touched it, noting it had no switch—why wouldn’t it show anything?

He thought about it and realized over these twenty-some years, he really hadn’t done anything bad; or perhaps, the Mirror of Evil might have given him face because he held the system and showed nothing?

Putting the mirror away, he clicked into the eerie army advancing into a new dungeon.

Of course, he couldn’t let Elder Scholar, Qi Baijun, and other "officials" test the mirror; they were working for him now, and their dignity needed to be maintained.

Before Jiang Yuan spoke, Elder Scholar jogged over, cupping his fists in apology, "I am ashamed, that You Lai is indeed a rascal. Despite all the good and bad words, he stubbornly refused to speak.

Look at this... Qi Baijun, in anger, has sent him to the harshest place to cultivate, yet despite the sufferings, he remains silent. Young Jiang, we must wait a little longer to pry open his mouth."

"Oh? So stubborn?" Jiang Yuan was surprised and waved with a smile, "In that case, bring him here, let me see how long the young master of the Mi Clan can keep his mouth shut."

You Lai suffered greatly, eerie but not invincible; he would thirst, hunger, and feel exhaustion and pain.

Moreover, Elder Scholar and Qi Baijun were counting on his intelligence to earn merit and reward, but their expectations were thwarted. When they showed their wrath, he naturally bore the brunt of Thunder Fury.

However, because he had become eerie not long ago, You Lai was still holding on with his mental fortitude. Hence, when he was brought over, he still wore a rebellious expression.

It seemed that the previous trials were just minor setbacks, and soon he would have the chance to return to Snow Cloud Valley to resume his life as the young master.

Elder Scholar, seeing his demeanor, gritted his teeth in anger, "Young Jiang, look at this behavior, does he think he’s something! Hmph! It’s been less than a day; he hasn’t tasted thirst or hunger yet. In two more days, he’ll have moments of crying and lamenting!"

"You Lai, the Four Guardians of Leisure Sect, the second young master of the Mi Family in Snow Cloud Valley. I heard your mouth is so stubborn that you refuse to say anything. No matter, let me see what you’re made of." Jiang Yuan cut to the chase, taking the Mirror of Evil out from the storage bag and placing it with a thud before him.

Seeing the treasured item belonging to him, You Lai paused, unable to speak before clouds rolled over the Mirror of Evil.

[Mi Xiangyuan of Snow Cloud Valley, committed 47,543 evil deeds in his life; 61 good deeds]

[At seven, he poisoned the food of his twin siblings out of jealousy for his parents’ affection towards them, resulting in their early death]

[In the same year, in order to retain favor, he fed infertility drugs to his biological parents, causing a drop in their realm due to overdose, shortening their lives by ten years]

[At eleven, he falsely accused his elder brother of harming siblings, leading to the shattering of his spirit root, rendering him unable to cultivate...]

......

Once the Mirror of Evil was placed there, it was like a video playback screen, revealing all of You Lai’s background. Naturally, as the bound master of the Mirror of Evil, Jiang Yuan had the privilege to choose which video to replay.

After reviewing for a while, he couldn’t help but click his tongue, "You Lai, did you get the wrong script? Why is it full of palace intrigue? You’ve crippled the eldest son of your family, sterilized your parents, and sold off the most talented eldest sister..."

"Stop! Stop saying it!" Seeing the scenes in the mirror, You Lai completely broke down.

The racial cultivation talent was poor, and he was the worst among the worst—harming others since childhood with only the aggressive buff from his race to back him. His temperament was actually weak. Having killed his siblings out of jealousy for affection since young had already given rise to heart demons. Out of curiosity when he first obtained the divine Mirror of Evil he glanced at it, the unfolding scene triggered heart demons that terrified him.

Even now, having become eerie, his weak spots were easy to exploit.

"I originally wanted to see what you’ve done, and pry open your mouth in the process." Jiang Yuan continued scrolling, choosing to save several videos, saying with a smile, "Now it seems there’s no need for small talk. I’m not interested in the other affairs, but the trump cards that could have been exchanged for merit are all with me. Take him away; let the scholar handle him as he wishes."

After clicking to put away the Mirror of Evil, before he could rise, Qi Baijun stepped forward to pay respects, "Sir, the eerie army is now on track. The elimination results you mentioned earlier are now in place. Should we deal with the disobedient eeries now or wait longer?"

Oh? Oh my!

Qi Baijun truly is a workaholic, getting things done so fast!

Thinking it over, since Miss Little Eight had just concluded her retreat and needed to stabilize her realm, and the Cloud Concealment Sect members had overindulged in Spiritual Wine needing rest, there’s plenty of time to push forward the side missions.
