"Even so, we have sacrificed more than a dozen people. Indeed, as you said, the evil magic is so evil that as long as you get close, the spiritual energy will be sucked away. Now we can only use formations to temporarily trap it, but there is no way
I don’t know what to ask from it, and I don’t even know if it has any accomplices.”
This situation is indeed a bit tricky.
Ling Xuewei then asked, "How long has it been imprisoned?"
Gu Yunqing did not hide anything from Ling Xuewei, "It has been twelve hours. During this period, its aura has become more and more violent. It should be because it has no flesh and blood to feed it. But before, its actions were no different from ordinary people, otherwise we would not
It's been so long without even noticing."
Ling Xuewei looked solemn, "There must be people like him in the army, otherwise it would be impossible to rely on him alone."
Gu Yunqing nodded, "Yes, I have secretly asked people to investigate, but in order not to alert others, we need to keep a low profile."
"Um."
Ling Xuewei pondered that to practice evil arts, you need to swallow new flesh and blood. The more you swallow, the stronger you are. That Si Yunxian is an example, and the person in front of them is obviously different from the ones they met on the street before. This one still has reason.
Moreover, their actions are no different from ordinary people, and their level is obviously higher than them.
One or two is fine. If there are more than a dozen like this, then...
Ling Xuewei couldn't help but shudder.
"Without further ado, do you have anyone here who is good at searching for souls?"
Gu Yunqing's eyes lit up, "I'll go find him right away."
Soon, an old man with flowing white hair wearing a Taoist robe was found. This man obviously had a different identity. Even Gu Yunqing was very respectful when he saw him.
"Ancestor, please take action."
It turns out that this person is the ancestor of the Gu family! It seems that Gu Yunqing knew the seriousness of the matter and directly asked the ancestor to come out.
"Where is Yuan'er?" The old man's voice sounded like a bell.
The question was none other than City Lord Gu Yuan.
Gu Yunqing said respectfully, "Father is arranging a secret investigation and has assigned me full responsibility here."
The old man snorted, "Humph, that's fine. I'll settle the accounts with him later. How can you manage such a huge city lord if you can't do such a small thing well? I think he's getting better and better as he lives, and he's not even as good as his own son!"
If Gu Yunqing hadn't been careful and realized something was wrong first, who knows what kind of disaster it would have caused.
Although the ancestor was in seclusion, he learned what happened on the way, so he hurried over.
"That's him?"
"yes."
The old man looked at the man, his brows furrowed. Then he entered the prison. When the people in the prison saw him approaching, they immediately began to resist more and more frantically, and even roared like wild beasts.
The old man couldn't help but sigh, "What a sin!"
"Ancestor, what did you see?"
"This person is obviously controlled by this evil magic. Judging from the situation, it should not have been more than half a year."
Gu Yunqing was surprised and looked at Ling Xuewei, "Ancestor, does he know what kind of evil magic this is?"
The old man shook his head and said, "According to reports from the people below, I have never heard of this sorcery. Just in time, let me use the soul-searching technique to find out about him."
As he spoke, the old man opened his arms slightly and folded them on his abdomen. Then he shouted loudly, and the majestic spiritual energy surged straight towards the human-celestial spirit cap!
The person who was struggling seemed to have his soul drained out, and gradually became motionless, with a dull look. This was because the old man had begun to use the soul-searching technique.
The so-called soul-searching technique is an extremely rare spiritual technique. The user not only needs strong mental power, but also has a strong cultivation level to rely on. Otherwise, once it is backlashed, the person will be stupid at best, or the soul will be scattered at worst. Therefore, ordinary monks
Not daring to practice this technique easily has resulted in fewer and fewer people knowing this technique.
It was very quiet in the cell, and everyone waited with bated breath, not daring to make any sound for fear of shocking the performer.
For a moment, a thin layer of sweat broke out on the old man's head, and his face gradually turned pale. Suddenly, he seemed to have been severely injured, and he raised his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood!
"Ancestor!"
Gu Yunqing was shocked. Before he could react, he suddenly heard a roar. The originally dull man suddenly broke away from the formation and roared towards this side!
"Not good! The formation is broken!"
"careful!!"
I saw one person whose chest was directly penetrated by its claws, with unresponsive horror on his face.
Then it rushed towards Ling Xuewei!
Before she could take action, Ye Moyan stepped out beside her, and a majestic and intimidating pressure rose into the sky!
Everyone in this cell is overwhelmed by this spiritual pressure!
"ban!"
It is directly imprisoned in the air, the invisible 'absolute space', even this monster has no power to resist!
"not good!"
Suddenly, Ye Moyan hugged Ling Xuewei and quickly retreated. There was a sudden explosion in his ears, and the monster's body exploded!
Ye Moyan put a transparent barrier in front of him and Ling Xuewei, blocking out the popping blood clots.
All this happened so fast, from the sudden explosion to the explosion of the body, it only took a few seconds. When everyone came back to their senses and looked at the corpse in the prison, whose original appearance was no longer visible, they couldn't help but look pale.
white.
Some even started retching directly.
"Ancestor, how are you doing, Ancestor?" Gu Yunqing here anxiously supported the old man who was vomiting blood, green light flashed on his hand, and he continuously sent wood spiritual energy to the Ancestor.
After a while, the old man finally woke up quietly.
"Ancestor, are you okay?" he asked anxiously.
"It seems that a forbidden spell has been cast on that man's mind. Once he is used to search for his soul, his body will be destroyed directly. Ahem... It seems that the person behind this is extremely ruthless... Ahem..." The old man obviously said
The injury was not serious. Ling Xuewei thought it was hurt internally, and she was afraid it wouldn't be easy to heal.
"Qing'er, hurry up, tell your father about this, and ask him to put the whole city under martial law."
Gu Yunqing's expression changed. The whole city was under martial law? Is the matter that serious?
The old man looked very serious, "The person behind the scenes is not willing to do such forbidden magic. He must be a ruthless person. If he can control these puppets, he must already know that we have discovered his secret, and maybe he will take revenge soon..."
Gu Yunqing was stunned and immediately said, "Qing'er is going now!"
He sent someone to escort his ancestor back, but Gu Yunqing didn't dare to delay. He didn't even have time to say anything to Ling Xuewei, so he left in a hurry.
Ling Xuewei returned to the Alchemy Alliance, her face still very solemn.
This matter was completely unexpected, heading towards an increasingly serious situation. Today's incident made her premonition even stronger. There seemed to be a mysterious force gradually infiltrating various sects, intending to cause chaos.
If this is true, then I am afraid that not only Sunset City, but also the Alchemy Alliance and even the sect will be implicated.
"No, you must tell Master and Master about this immediately!"
Before Ling Xuewei's buttocks got hot from sitting, she hurried out again. Ye Moyan frowned, took the cloak on the side, and chased after her.
Here, Ouyang Hong and Zhuo Tianzhan were playing chess, and Ling Xuewei barged in.
