Did the Gu Family suffer Curse from a secret realm?
Lin Yi had already guessed this, after all, the evil thoughts entangled on Gu Tianxue could not be faked.
Perhaps all of this is related to what the Spirit Wood Sage did back then.
Lin Yi first collected the remains of the Gu Tianxue Gu Family ancestor, and then, with a troubled mind, returned to the place where they had previously hidden.
However, as soon as Lin Yi arrived, he noticed something was wrong.
"Who goes there? Come out!"
" Town Guardian Qin, you are truly capable; you discovered all of this."
An old yet familiar voice came from underground, and a stiff, dark figure crawled out from a rock and soil in front of them.
This person was none other than Saint Shanhe, who had been abducted by the giant Dark Hand in the sky earlier.
However, the Saint Shanhe before them was extremely ugly, with cracked lips revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.
His face was ashen, as if struck by frost, a bluish-gray hue devoid of any color, as if all life force had been drained from him.
Lin Yi frowned. The Mountain Saint Shanhe before him resembled a zombie, and his body emanated a chilling aura, causing the Strange Stone in his chest to react slightly.
What is this old man doing here!
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he seems to have become a half-human, half-monster, eerie form.
Seeing that Lin Yi had shielded the surroundings with his True Qi and seemed to be about to make a move, Saint Shanhe quickly took half a step back and said, " Town Guardian Qin, don't be in such a hurry to kill me. I came to you hoping that you could save my life."
Lin Yi asked in a deep voice, "How did you get in?"
"That day, a Dark Hand in the sky grabbed me and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was like this."
"Hehe, do you think I believe that?"
" Town Guardian Qin, I have no deep-seated grudge against you. Now that we are both in dire straits, why don't we join forces?"
Lin Yi gave a cold laugh.
"Sorry, I never team up with the dead!"
As a crimson True Qi enveloped the area, lightning flashed beneath Lin Yi's feet, and he instantly appeared to the upper right of the Saint Shanhe. In a flash, Lin Yi brought down one hand, and a dazzling golden light bloomed, pinning down the Mountain Saint Shanhe who was trying to dodge.
Lin Yi Yi's arm seemed to possess the strength of a mountain, making it impossible for Saint Shanhe to resist.
"You? You've become Martial Saint!"
What do you think?
Defeated in a single move, Saint Shanhe was horrified, his withered and bloodless old face revealing a look of terror.
If it had known earlier that Qin Jian had become Martial Saint, it certainly wouldn't have dared to show itself and try to negotiate with Qin Jian.
After capturing the Saint Shanhe, Lin Yi noticed that the Strange Spirit on the dome-shaped rock was acting strangely again, so he and Gu Tianxue vanished in a flash.
Whoosh... whoosh, a large number of Strange Spirit darted through the sky like patrolling guards. After circling a few times and finding nothing unusual, they lay down on the dome-shaped rock wall, and the surroundings fell into Deathly Stillness.
On the other side, after Lin Yi locked up Saint Shanhe, he began to study the transformation of Saint Shanhe's body.
He discovered that the current Mountain and Saint Shanhe was gradually becoming Strange Spirit, with his blood completely disappearing and even his True Qi vanishing without a trace.
Even a unique power belonging to the Saint Shanhe and the Ghost Domain is developing within its body.
It's important to understand that Strange Spirit and Monster differ in that after reaching the professional level, they develop Ghost Domain powers that tend towards a certain set of rules.
There are Ghost Domain that can Drowning Ghost people and suffocate the living, and there are Deception Ghost whose words can make people believe them unconditionally.
The Ghost Domain that appeared before me, derived from the sacred mountains and Saint Shanhe, seemed to be related to the rocks and soil. Just now, when it was hiding underground, it had unleashed its Ghost Domain power.
Lin Yi grabbed Saint Shanhe's neck and questioned him coldly.
"How did you become Strange Spirit?"
"I don't know either. When I woke up, I was like this. And as time goes by, I can feel my rationality being eroded, and I have forgotten a lot of my past memories."
When did you discover I was being mistreated?
"That luminous deer just now must have been Town Guardian Qin's doing, right? The same swordsmanship, I couldn't possibly be mistaken..."
Lin Yi frowned and asked again, "When did you wake up here, and how much do you know about this place?"
"This should be Black Mountain Interior. All the Strange Spirit in the entire secret realm are gathered here. I don't know how long I've been awake. I know that you, Town Guardian Qin, should never try to explore the Black Membrane on the dome again. I can feel that there is an extremely terrifying aura there. Perhaps the Black Giant Hand that attacked us back then is in the Black Membrane."
"You are no longer human. If I am not mistaken, in three to five days, you will forget a lot of your past memories and become a Martial Saint- level Strange Spirit."
Saint Shanhe hurriedly said, "I know that I have changed, and I have taken the initiative to show myself to find Town Guardian Qin in the hope that Town Guardian Qin can take me out of the world. This place is too strange. If I continue to stay here, it will only speed up the strange process. Now, only by escaping the world can I have a chance."
After listening to what Saint Shanhe said, Lin Yi looked thoughtful.
He has encountered many Strange Spirit and killed many of them.
Apart from Yuanyuan, he had never witnessed the process of Strange Spirit being born, let alone the Strange Spirit was transformed from a living Martial Saint.
Perhaps, that giant Dark Hand has its eye on Saint Shanhe, wanting to turn him into Strange Spirit being.
Suddenly, Lin Yi had a bold guess.
That is, all the Strange Spirit within the Black Mountain secret realm were once humans, Monster, or transformed from Spirit Plant with a will to live...
I would like to thank reader '@Shan'er Who Loves Ancestor Slices' for their continued support.
Finally, I'm preparing for a book quiz in the next few days. You can leave a comment below this paragraph and recommend up to five books for the quiz.
The requirements are that it has a gimmick, can attract readers, and doesn't deviate from the general content of the book. Feel free to be creative, and if it's selected, I'll give you a small gift.
For example: "Game Invasion: I Have Too Many Talents" and "Big Brother Died, I Got the Superpower Activation Code ".
