came the voice.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yun directly put the body of the long-faced guard into the storage bag, and then flew over to Ling Hao's body.
At this time, the headless corpse was still spurting blood and twitching, and even the mutations on its body had not stopped, but Lin Yun had no time to pay attention to this.
The sword flashed.
He cut off Ling Hao's body and a small piece of blood-stained ground directly and put it into a storage bag. Then he flashed and disappeared into the shadows not far from the pavilion.
When the Gui Yuan Technique is operating, the Yuan Point in the body is like a black hole in the abyss, swallowing up all the aura around the body into the Yuan Point without revealing a single trace.
Da da da……
A series of footsteps came from far away, and a guard captain wearing silver armor came here with seven or eight guards, looking around.
"There's nothing unusual, captain. Could it be that you heard wrong just now?"
"That's right. There's no one else here, and there's nothing abnormal... Hey, no, why is there a pit there?"
Suddenly, one of the guards noticed the pit cut by Lin Yun and exclaimed.
The other guards and the guard captain all heard the news and ran away.
"Hey, there really is a trap. I remember there are no traps here. Am I remembering it wrong?"
"I also remember that there are no pits here. It's really weird!"
"Hey, Xiao Liu, don't you hang around here every day and peek at Xiao He? Tell me, is there such a trap here?"
"That...that, I, I don't know, I didn't pay attention..."
"Hey, you kid, you just want to peek at Xiao He, right?"
"I told you not to make such a fuss, okay? Isn't it just a pit? It was probably dug out intentionally by some evil spirit to trick people. The sound I heard before may be a drunkard who fell into this pit. This It was just sent out.”
"You are right!"
"It's indeed very possible!"
"Captain, I think the monkey is right. This trap is probably caused by a wicked man. There is nothing unusual here. Why don't we fill this trap and go back to change shifts?"
After saying this, the other guards all looked at the guard captain. The shift was about to change. They didn't want to do extra work, and they only had so much monthly salary, so they didn't want to work overtime for nothing.
The captain of the guard frowned slightly. He always felt that this thing was a bit strange, and the low roar before also made him feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
He frowned and stepped forward to the pit. The pit was indeed man-made, and the traces were obvious, which made him frown a little more.
Did some evil spirit really dig it out?
Was thinking about it.
A guard suddenly said: "Captain, don't be suspicious. This is the city lord's palace. Who dares to come here to make trouble? It's probably like what the monkey said. Some evil spirit deliberately dug a hole to harm people. Let's fill it in." That’s it. It’s almost time, we should go back and hand over our shift.”
"Yes, captain, fill this hole and go back to take over your shift!"
The other guards also echoed.
Hearing this, the guard captain glanced at the pit, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, fill in the pit and go back to take over!"
Although there are still some doubts in their hearts, these people are right. This is the city lord's palace. Who dares to come here to cause trouble?
I guess I’m really overthinking it!
"Well, I've been worried about monsters attacking the city recently. I'm too nervous. I have to take some time to relax in the Wanhua Building in the city..."
The captain of the guard thought in his mind, and blasted out an energy palm print to hit a slightly raised place next to him.
Boom boom boom...
Others also made palm prints one after another to break up the soil in that place. Then the guard captain condensed a big hand of true energy to move all the soil into the pit and flatten it.
"Okay, let's go back and take over the shift."
The guard captain took one last look at the pit, then waved and left with the other guards.
After they all left, Lin Yun stepped out from the shadows, and the surging energy in his body quickly calmed down.
I'm afraid those guards never imagined that they just saved their lives by perfunctory in order to hand over the duty!
At the same time, even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that someone actually dared to cause trouble in the city lord's mansion, and even killed their young master under their noses!
It's so audacious!
But to Lin Yun, this was nothing.
If Ling Hao dares to poison his food, he must be prepared to die!
No matter how high Ling Hao's status is, he will kill him!
This is his code of conduct. If you are good to me, I will be good to you. If you dare to kill me, then I will send you to hell!
"By the way, his body seems a little special..."
Lin Yun suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out Ling Hao's body, floated it with his Qi, and took a closer look.
This sight immediately stunned him!
Because Ling Hao's body has changed drastically at this time!
The whole body was covered with a layer of fine dark red scales, sharp thorns sprouted from the tips of the ten fingers, and the blood slowly seeping out from the neck was no longer red, but red-green.
The whole body exuded an unpleasant stench.
On the severed head, the face was completely covered with fine dark red scales. The pupils in the eyes filled with unwillingness turned into vertical pupils, and the rest was all scarlet.
In addition, two slender red tentacles sprouted from his forehead!
Although the entire corpse was humanoid, it didn't look like a person at all, but more like an insect!
Half human, half insect!
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Lin Yun was a little horrified. He had never seen anything so disgusting.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when the sword light slashed into Ling Hao's neck, a terrifying aura burst out of Ling Hao's body. That aura was even more powerful than his blood puppet. Thinking about it now, it should This is it!
Fortunately, he used all his strength when he took action, otherwise, the boat might capsize in the gutter!
"This should be caused by practicing special skills." Mo Ran said.
"Special skills?"
Lin Yun was confused.
Mo Ran explained: "In your human practice, the orthodox techniques are to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth or other energies to improve your realm, but there are also some special techniques that do not focus on these, but focus on practicing some weird things."
"These special skills are strong and weak, but most of them are rather evil and weird, and they are often accompanied by major flaws or side effects. Although they can gain powerful power in a short period of time, their future is limited. Compared with orthodox skills, From a Dharma perspective, it’s just garbage.”
There was disdain in Mo Ran's voice, and he obviously looked down upon these things.
Lin Yun wasn't too impressed, but after seeing Ling Hao's body, he was still a little repelled by this so-called special technique. He would rather practice it step by step than turn into such a disgusting monster!
"However, although this technique is rubbish, its level is far higher than other techniques in your Qi country. It should not be something here. Gee, I'm a little curious."
Mo Ran chuckled lightly.
It's not something here...
Lin Yun was moved in his heart.
"Huh……"
At this moment, Mo Ran suddenly cried out in surprise and said: "It's really not that simple here. There is actually an underground space under the city lord's mansion."
"underground space?"
Lin Yun was startled, and then asked quickly: "What's in it?"
"Can't detect it..."
Mo Ran sighed slightly and said: "My spiritual thoughts are bound by the stone plate, and the little spiritual thoughts that are diffused can only be used for simple detection. There is a strong forbidden formation guarding the underground space, and my spiritual thoughts cannot enter. go."
Hearing this, Lin Yun was slightly shocked. It seemed that although Mo Ran had used the stone plate to save a ray of his remaining soul, he was also subject to many restrictions.
After knowing that there was an underground space under the city lord's mansion, Lin Yun pondered for a moment, and then looked at Ling Hao's body.
After a while.
He reached out and put Ling Hao's body into the storage bag, and then suddenly asked: "Senior, where is the entrance to the underground space?"
Hearing this, Mo Ran was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"That's right."
Lin Yun nodded.
Originally, he didn't want to care about what was wrong with the city lord's mansion, but Ling Hao poisoned him. Now he killed Ling Hao and saw his body turned into a monster, so he was naturally curious.
Moreover, since he was already involved in this matter, he would always feel a little uneasy if he didn't investigate and find out what was abnormal here.
After all, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!
If these people are here to deal with them, wouldn't they be caught off guard if they didn't find out clearly?
Furthermore, with the blood puppet around, he was sure to escape unscathed. He really wouldn't be willing not to take a look!
"You can go in and have a look..."
Mo Ran pondered for a moment and then agreed.
"For this period of time, in order to deal with the threats from the Zhou family and Jiange, you have been staying in the academy to improve your strength and have not ventured outside. Although your strength has improved by leaps and bounds now, you still lack some experience and the ability to make decisions at critical moments."
"Now that you have the blood puppet, it's time for you to go out and make some adventures. This kind of thing will happen in the future!"
"After all, no one can become an extremely powerful person through seclusion and hard training!"
"How can you be honored if you don't fight?"
Mo Ran said slowly.
Lin Yun nodded. He naturally understood this, so he asked about the situation in the underground space.
"Little guy, you are very lucky. There is a group of people who are about to enter that underground space."
"where?"
"You follow my guidance."
…
The city lord's palace is very large and has many courtyards.
Near the west courtyard area, behind two old and abandoned courtyards, there is a small piece of barren hill.
The barren mountain is not high, only about twenty feet high. There are many weeds growing on it, which are wilting and yellow. No one takes care of it. There is only a path at the bottom of the mountain that leads to a cave with a closed stone door.
Outside the cave, there were two guards wearing armor and holding spears.
This barren mountain is a forbidden area of the city lord's palace, and no one is allowed to approach or enter.
At this time, under the night, there were five men in black lined up, passing by the two old and abandoned courtyards, entering the path under the barren mountain, and walking towards the cave.
Hua Hua...
Suddenly, there was some movement among the weeds on the mountain. Several men in black stopped and looked over there with confusion.
"You go first, I'll go over and check on the situation."
The man in black at the end said in a deep voice. After finishing his words, he moved towards that direction.
When the other men in black saw this, they withdrew their gaze and continued walking towards the cave.
Mountain.
The man in black who came to check looked a little wary. He came to the weeds where the movement was coming from and suddenly reached out to dig at it.
Zhizhi...
Inside, a gray-haired mouse pierced by a vine thorn suddenly screamed in panic and struggled violently.
"It turns out to be a mountain rat..."
The man in black felt relieved, but at this moment, a sword flashed suddenly.
puff!
The man in black suddenly widened his eyes, and a line of blood spurted out from his neck. His face was full of horror. He looked at the young man in black who appeared in front of him. He wanted to say something, but he could no longer speak.
He staggered and wanted to reach out to block the wound on his neck, but he dropped his hand as soon as he raised it halfway. The vitality in his body faded like a tide, and his eyes quickly dimmed.
Then, his body was sucked into Lin Yun's hands. Without any delay, Lin Yun immediately took off the clothes of the man in black and quickly put them on himself.
In less than ten breaths, Lin Yun changed his clothes and put the body of the man in black into a storage bag.
Immediately, he jumped up and quickly chased the men in black.
At this time, the men in black had arrived in front of the Shimen cave. After showing a token, the guards let them go and the Shimen opened.
When Lin Yun arrived, there was only one man in black left outside.
"Why so slow? What's going on over there?"
The man in black in front paused slightly, tilted his head and asked.
Lin Yun: "..."
He lowered his head and said nothing, trying to hide his face with the shadow of the guard beside him.
When the man in black saw that Lin Yun didn't answer, he frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "Lao Gao, you've had enough! Although I stole your girl, we really love each other. And didn’t I apologize to you? If you keep a cold face, you won’t give me face anymore!”
Lin Yun: "???"
Lin Yun: "..."
What evil had he done, and how did he get involved in such a strange thing?
With all conscience, he just wanted to go in and see if there was anything abnormal. Wasn't he really "Old Gao"?
Brother in front, if you really want to know what happened, I can send you down to chat with Lao Gao for free.
Don’t worry, my knife is very sharp and I can definitely deliver it in one step!
Lin Yun gritted his teeth in his heart.
I never expected that I would get stuck at this door!
Seeing that "Old Gao" in front of him still didn't speak, the man in black's face suddenly darkened. Just as he was about to speak, one of the guards suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction, "Are you still coming in?"
"Come in, come in!"
The man in black said, then turned around and glared at Lin Yun fiercely, and walked into the cave.
Seeing this, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
There is a long corridor in the cave. Every dozen or so steps on both sides, there are two guards wearing armor and holding spears. They are both at the late Yuan Dan realm.
There were also some torches placed on both sides, and under the dim light of the fire, everyone was cast into a long shadow.
Since the man in black at the front had already shown his token, Lin Yun and the two were not blocked when they moved forward.
Soon, Lin Yun and the two came to the end of the corridor. In front of them was a staircase extending diagonally into the ground, with hundreds of stone steps.
All the way down to the bottom of the stone steps, there is a hollow underground secret room. At the end of the stone steps is facing a bronze door. In front of the door are two guards who have reached the Yuan Dan realm.
After the man in black at the front showed the token again, the two guards carefully checked the authenticity of the token before letting them go and opened the bronze door.
"What a tight defense..."
Lin Yun thought to himself.
If you don't have the token, you can only fight all the way in. Without the strength of the Divine Palace Realm, you will definitely not be able to touch the bronze door, let alone enter.
Kaka...
The heavy bronze door was opened, and a strong smell of blood suddenly hit the face, making people feel sick.
The men in black were not surprised and walked in directly. Lin Yun resisted the urge to feel disgusted and followed suit.
Kaka...
After Lin Yun walked in, the bronze door was immediately closed.
Lin Yun was slightly startled, but did not panic. He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the space that was blocked from exploration by the formation.
This space is not very large, it is circular, with a diameter of only a hundred meters. In the center is a huge blood pool, which contains more than half of the pool of blood, exuding extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.
It’s all filled with essence and blood!
In the center of the blood pool, there was a circular platform about three feet in diameter. On the platform, there was a blood-colored altar covered with complicated patterns.
On the altar, there was a little golden light swaying, exuding a frightening aura.
Horrifying!
