Chapter 1009 Danger (6)
call......
The leader of the men in black took a deep breath.
Take a small step forward and push the door open with all your might.
puff.
It seemed as if something heavy had been suddenly pushed over and fell heavily to the ground.
The weird thing is.
Inside the open doorway, there was nothing at all; it was completely empty and clearly visible.
A few soft exclamations came from the crowd, clearly indicating some surprise and a slight commotion.
The group of black-clad law enforcement officers looked at each other, bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
"That is..." Han Yi's expression darkened as he sensed what others had not seen.
"Transform into waves!"
The leader of the men in black seemed to have an unusual sense of perception as well, and immediately noticed something was wrong, letting out a low shout.
boom!
Huge waves quickly solidified and crashed towards us.
Just in an instant.
A twisted black shadow appeared in mid-air.
The twisted black shadow collided head-on with the giant wave and was slammed hard onto the ground.
Chi!
Large amounts of black smoke rose into the air.
A foul stench quickly wafted over, like rotting flesh after being exposed to the scorching sun in the sweltering summer heat.
The stench of decay? The stench of a corpse? The stench of filth?
It's hard to describe.
In the open space in front of the courtyard, a monster that was somewhat humanoid had appeared out of nowhere.
The reason it's described as having a somewhat human-like shape is because it's not human at all.
The skin had completely peeled off, exposing scarlet blood vessels and muscles. Half of the body had distinctly female characteristics, while the other half was a strong male torso.
Even more horrifying was the presence of two heads, a man and a woman, on the neck. The woman's mouth was constantly gushing out a foul-smelling, sticky, blackish-yellow liquid, while the other male head was emitting painful screams.
"The Fourteenth Elder! This is the Fourteenth Elder!?"
People in the crowd gasped in surprise, seemingly recognizing the monster.
"What happened? What happened to Elder Fourteen? Wasn't he supposed to be in seclusion, cultivating diligently?"
"Is there even a question? It must be because he violated the taboos of the desire realm, created a loophole in his mind, and was taken advantage of by the beast of desire, resulting in the alienation of his body and mind."
"Sigh... those with chaotic senses... it's still better for us with stable senses. Although our progress is slow, at least our lives are guaranteed..." someone sighed, still feeling lingering fear.
"Fourteenth Elder..." Han Yi's heart stirred, realizing the man's identity.
The Fourteenth Elder was a member of the Chaotic Sensitive Realm, holding the same status as him.
With the exception of a few individuals, most of the elders of the Illusionary Water Palace are non-productive, focusing solely on improving their cultivation level.
Cultivation is already difficult enough for those with chaotic senses; if they were to be assigned other miscellaneous tasks, they would be completely overwhelmed.
Moreover.
The mortality rate among those suffering from mental illness is too high.
If someone truly holds real power, it would be too unstable if they were to die under mysterious circumstances one day.
Therefore, senior personnel who are generally responsible for handling specific matters are usually those who are indecisive.
of course.
Except for the hermit Yunshui.
As the strongest person in the Illusionary Water Palace, with a terrifying age of one or two hundred years, she is the most prestigious person in the entire Illusionary Water Palace.
After all, for those who are prone to disorder, walking in the realm of desire means facing constant threats, and living a long time without dying is a symbol of great strength.
"Exorcism! Exorcism!!" Seeing the monster bound to the ground and unable to move, the man in black hurriedly shouted.
A group of black-clad law enforcement officers quickly produced a golden bell-shaped ritual implement, making gestures and chanting incantations.
Bang!
soon.
Under the influence of an inexplicable force, the monster, which was rolling and howling on the ground, grew larger and larger, as if it were pregnant, and then burst open with a bang.
Countless scorched, sticky liquids flew out, turning the once neat and bright courtyard into a mess, with large amounts of disgusting, viscous liquid everywhere.
"Cleaning Technique!"
It took more than a dozen waves of water to wash away the filth.
"Immediately seal off the area. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Investigate for any suspicious threats." The leader of the men in black gave the orders and began to wrap things up.
By this time, the matter was almost over.
All that's left is the cleanup work.
The crowd lost interest in watching any longer and hurriedly left the scene, each going their own way.
Han Yi mingled in the crowd and also headed away into the distance.
He appeared outwardly calm, but a slight stirring ran through his heart.
The monster just exploded at the last moment...
A split second of effort.
He actually saw a fleeting, illusory figure.
That illusory figure...
It was clearly the same being he had seen during the prayer ceremony.
but.
There is no mistake that the Fourteenth Elder is a member of the Chaotic Sensitive Realm.
Logically speaking
It's impossible to form a connection with a guardian spirit.
As Han Yi walked, his thoughts raced, his mind filled with confusion.
"I heard that Elder Fourteen encountered some trouble in his cultivation before his death, but I don't know what method he used to solve it... His cultivation suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds..." He frowned, thinking of something.
............
............
night.
The starlight was dim.
"This... should be the place where the incident happened during the day..."
Han Yi stood in the shadowy corner of the rooftop, gazing quietly at the courtyard before him.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moonlight was dim.
Inside the wide-open courtyard gate was a dense, dark mass, like the gaping maw of a monster.
After returning to his residence during the day, Han Yi felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it, so he decided to go inside and find out what was going on.
"The higher-ups are really something... Elder Fourteen, greedy for merit and reckless, violated taboos and became mutated, is there even a need to investigate...? All this investigation turns out to be done by us doing all the work..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. You know that person's temperament. He's as cautious as a rabbit. It's true that Elder Fourteen is a troublemaker, but he's still an elder. He has to put on a show and show that he takes it seriously."
"She only has one mouth, but we've run ourselves ragged... Everyone knows how comfortable it is to sleep in bed..."
Two black-clad law enforcement officers whispered among themselves as they passed by Han Yi.
"..."
Han Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, patiently waiting for the right opportunity.
He had a feeling from the beginning that the death of the Fourteenth Elder was not simple, and now he was even more certain of it.
Although the probability of something happening to those with disordered senses is greatly reduced within the spiritual realm.
However, every year in the Illusionary Water Palace, those with a disturbed sense of consciousness undergo abnormal transformations and die; such occurrences happen frequently.
It's neither common nor rare.
Everyone is used to it.
Those who embark on the path of becoming "disorderly" will face the risk of sudden death at any time.
To say that it alarmed the higher-ups would be a bit of an exaggeration.
The clouds gathered, making the view increasingly dark and gloomy.
Han Yi leaped into the courtyard without making a sound, as nimble as a cat. His night clothes and swift movements made him blend completely into the darkness.
There were many spirit detection arrays set up near the courtyard, as well as many magical artifacts.
just.
These measures are all designed to prevent cultivators from infiltrating, but they have little impact on Han Yi, who uses only his physical body to infiltrate.
The physical body and the soul are fully activated.
After easily bypassing several lines of defense.
Han Yi entered the middle room.
In the pitch-black lobby.
The tables and chairs were in disarray, the food was rotten, and the floor was covered in dust.
It looks like no one has lived here for a long time.
Han Yi glanced around but found nothing unusual, then got up to leave.
Puff puff......
Just then, a faint sound came from the next room.
"Ok?"
Han Yi's gaze sharpened as he scanned the surroundings. He had already fully activated his spiritual senses and checked the environment; there shouldn't be anyone there.
Hold your breath.
The figure flickered slightly.
Han Yi quietly followed the sound and crept over.
Wooden bed, wardrobe, desk... this is a bedroom-like area.
The entire bedroom was only about twelve or thirteen square meters in size, with a small cluster of blue flames burning quietly in the center of the room.
A dozen or so bricks surrounded a blue flame, forming a makeshift stove with a large pot placed on top.
The pot was filled with boiling blood, and bones and human skulls were constantly churning and surging to the surface.
Han Yi focused on the blue flames.
Look intently.
This blue flame is extremely eerie.
It burned without emitting a single wisp of smoke, like a virtual animation on an electronic screen.
Even if you bring your hand close, you can't feel any heat.
Even with Han Yi's divine soul, which was close to the level of the Sun Wanderer, he could not sense the existence of the flames and showed no reaction.
It seemed that there was nothing in front of him.
However, what's even stranger is...
The blue flame burned without the presence of a single trace of fuel.
It was from that white, bone-like object that it mysteriously spread and released little by little.
"Is it a flame that exists solely on faith...?"
Han Yi didn't dare to make any rash moves. He could sense that although the flames were not visible to his divine soul, they seemed to exist outside the real world as if a filter had been added.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The subtle fluctuations emanating from the flames.
Obviously.
This thing must have flowed out of the Desire Realm, fueled by belief, so at a glance you can tell it doesn't exist in the real world.
Avoid the blue flames.
Han Yi frowned and patiently searched the bedroom, which resembled a garbage dump.
When he walks, he appears to be on solid ground, but in reality, there is a thin layer of iridescent light between his shoes and the ground.
This is the application of the internal energy cultivated through the guiding method that Han Yi discovered.
On the wooden bed, which was about two meters long, countless cotton waddings were scattered from the bedding, covering the entire bed. They were also stained with blood, the red blood mixed with the white cotton, which was particularly shocking.
A sheet of yellow paper of unknown material was spread on the bed.
The paper was a dull color and looked extremely tough and sturdy, like it was made of animal hide or some kind of leather, with faint leather textures on the surface.
It was covered with blood-red handwriting, like scribbles, crooked and twisted, with a large number of strange, unknown, and mysterious symbols drawn around the edges, and a large oval symbol in the center.
Or rather, it's an eye-shaped pattern resembling a symbol.
