Incomplete Energy Circuit
Yuan Chou glanced at him, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.
But in his heart, he was also filled with mixed emotions.
This is the change brought about by strength.
Brother Su Zhan's power not only made the members of their branch line proud, but also made the arrogant members of the main branch lower their heads.
Su Zhan ignored their ulterior motives.
He took the Beast Skin Map and returned to the team's temporary camp.
He needs a quiet place to properly study this thing.
He laid the Beast Skin Map flat on the table, immersed his Divine Sense in it, and carefully sensed the energy flow described by [Shadow Thousand Silk Lock].
Sure enough, under his perception, those black lines seemed to come alive.
A series of cold, subtle energies flowed slowly within, forming a complex and eerie cycle.
But this cycle seems to be missing a piece.
Like a sophisticated machine, it cannot truly function without a single gear.
"Boss, this energy circuit is incomplete." [Shadow Thousand Silk Lock]'s voice sounded again. "The endpoint it points to is blank. This means that this diagram may only be a part of it."
"Or, a special method is needed to activate it."
Su Zhan frowned.
This is troublesome.
He thought about it and decided to use the most basic method.
He mobilized a wisp of his Spirit Energy and carefully injected it into the Beast Skin Map, guiding it along the energy circuits.
However, the moment his Spirit Energy entered, it was like water being poured into boiling oil.
"Buzz!"
The entire Beast Skin Map suddenly trembled, and all the black lines on it instantly lit up. A powerful suction force emanated from the image, trying to devour his Divine Sense and Spirit Energy!
"Snort!"
Su Zhan snorted coldly, and the power of the [Immovable Wisdom King Wall] was activated instantly, stabilizing his mind and forcibly cutting off the flow of Spirit Energy.
The light on the Beast Skin Map dimmed and then returned to normal.
"Good heavens, it even has a backlash?"
Su Zhan looked at the Beast Skin Map, his expression turning serious.
This thing was even more sinister than he had imagined.
It seems we can't force it.
We need to think of another way.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Elder Yuan Ji led a few people in, carrying a bunch of random things.
"Young Master Su, this is everything we collected from the battlefield. Please take a look."
Su Zhan looked up and saw fragments of Law Artifact and tattered robes belonging to the Black Demon Sect Cultivator, as well as some Token with Talisman Drawing on them.
He flipped through it casually; there was nothing of particular value.
"Okay, put it there."
He was about to dismiss Yuan Ji when his gaze was suddenly drawn to a ring on Yuan Ji's hand.
It was a Storage Ring.
"Elder, have you found Yuan Hong's Storage Ring?" Su Zhan asked.
Yuan Ji was taken aback, then his old face flushed red, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Found it, it's right here with me."
As he spoke, he reluctantly took the ring off his hand and handed it to Su Zhan.
Clearly, he had just kept this as his own spoils and pocketed it.
Su Zhan didn't point it out and accepted the ring.
This is the real issue.
A guy who can act as an inside agent, hold a high position in the Yuan Household family, and even associate with the Black Demon Sect must have some good stuff in his Storage Ring.
Su Zhan probed into it with his Divine Sense.
The next second, his eyes lit up.
