The night wind passed through the bamboo forest, picking up a few fallen leaves and swirling them on the ground.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the house where Zhao Chengkong was located.
He sat cross-legged in front of the scroll, his breath constantly stirring around his body.
A wisp of condensed dark blue spiritual consciousness turned into a slender thread, which was struggling to confront and penetrate each other with the vast will in the scroll.
Suddenly, his tense body relaxed slightly.
The spiritual consciousness that penetrated into the depths of the scroll was like ebbing water, all of which was withdrawn into the body.
Zhao Chengkong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fatigue, but there was a sharp light hidden in them.
I don't know when a figure appeared in the courtyard, standing quietly under the moonlight, and the whole figure seemed to be integrated with the dark night.
The person coming is Su Yu.
Zhao Chengkong stood up and opened the door.
A breath that was far more concentrated and profound than when Su Yu left came to my face.
"Brother Su, you..."
"Back." Su Yu interrupted him with a calm tone, as if he just went out for a leisurely walk, "Bone-Eroding Abyss encountered some trouble."
He walked straight into the house and poured himself a cup of cold tea.
Zhao Chengkong's heart suddenly reached her throat.
"Trouble? What trouble?"
"Blood Baleful Intent Hall's people, one Earth Realm Second Layer, led two Peak Mystic Realm." Su Yu raised his head and drank the cold tea in the cup in one gulp, speaking in an understatement, as if he was just telling an insignificant trivial matter, "Besides, there are a group of monsters spawned by Soul Fusion Technique."
Blood Baleful Intent Hall!
Zhao Chengkong's pupils suddenly contracted, and the fingers holding the teacup were so hard that their joints turned white.
As the captain of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he knows better than anyone else the danger represented by these three words.
Blood Baleful Intent Hall is a highly toxic hidden danger that has been entrenched in Qing Province for many years. His subordinates are cruel and cruel and have always been lawless.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked in a low voice.
"Does this matter involve Duke's Residence?"
There have long been rumors within the Demon Suppression Bureau that Qing Province Duke Chen secretly colluded with the Blood Baleful Intent Hall, and both parties relied on each other.
However, despite the overwhelming power of the government, Demon Suppression Bureau was never able to obtain conclusive evidence and could not find the right time to start liquidation.
Su Yu put down the tea cup and gave him an affirmative look.
Just one glance said everything.
A biting chill ran down Zhao Chengkong's back and went straight to the top of his head.
The nature of the whole thing has completely changed.
The previous disputes in the villa were just a power struggle within the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor, a confrontation between him and the great elder Zhao Y ehan.
But once Duke's Residence intervenes, the entire chess game instantly expands to the entire Qing Province territory.
Whether it is his Zhao Chengkong or the huge Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor, in this big multi-party game, they are just chess pieces that can be abandoned at any time.
Family affairs suddenly became state affairs affecting Qing Province.
After a brief period of confusion, Zhao Chengkong forced himself to calm down and grasped another key piece of information in Su Yu's words that shocked him.
"You just said, Soul Fusion Technique's products?" He stared at Su Yu closely and spoke word by word, "What do those things look like?"
"Neither human nor demon." Su Yu's description is short, but piercingly cold. "It retains the outline of the human body, all the joints of the limbs are reversed, the body is covered with fine scales, and there are no facial features, only a huge mouth torn to the base of the ear. They have lost all reason, and only the primitive instinct of devouring flesh and blood is left in their hearts."
Every word Su Yu said was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhao Chengkong's heart.
The twisted, bloody and disgusting picture appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Is this the so-called avenue that Zhao Y ehan insists on pursuing despite destroying the millennium foundation of the villa?
Refining living tribesmen into monsters that only know how to eat and kill?
"Asshole!"
Zhao Chengkong punched the wooden table hard, and the hard tabletop instantly cracked into fine lines.
His chest heaved violently, and the rage surging in his eyes almost broke through.
"I'm going to Bone-Eroding Abyss to find out."
He stood up abruptly, his tone decisive.
He had to confirm with his own eyes whether those monsters were the children of the villa that his father and Soul Control Faction ancestors had fought to protect.
Finding out the truth is his innate responsibility and his inescapable destiny.
"I will accompany you." Su Yu then stood up with a calm expression.
He had expected Zhao Chengkong to make this decision early on.
The two of them stopped talking to each other. Their bodies swayed at the same time and quickly melted into the dark night.
After several ups and downs, two figures climbed over the courtyard wall and sped away in the direction of Bone-Eroding Abyss.
at the same moment.
In the core hinterland of the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor, there is a closed quiet room that is heavily guarded all year round and never sees sunlight all day long.
The Great Elder Zhao Y ehan was sitting cross-legged, with the bright light in front of him dimly flickering, making his old face difficult to distinguish.
A guard in black appeared quietly behind him, knelt on one knee and reported in a very low voice.
"Reporting to the great elder, Zhao Chengkong and the school captain just left the side courtyard, and the direction they are going is Bone-Eroding Abyss."
Zhao Y ehan, who had his eyes closed tightly, suddenly opened them.
Two turbid but extremely menacing sharp lights flashed away.
Bone-Eroding Abyss!
Idiot! What are you doing there at this moment?
Anger suddenly surged into Zhao Y ehan's heart.
Bone-Eroding Abyss hides his biggest secret and is also the sharpest trump card in his hand.
Those failed Soul Fusion monsters are just a cover-up, the real killer must not be exposed at such a critical moment.
Without any hesitation, he quickly turned his palm over, revealing a strange talisman that was completely black and engraved with light cyan demonic patterns on its surface.
This is not the Demon Suppression Bureau standard communication talisman, but an exclusive communication token that he personally refined using the Soul Fusion secret method.
Zhao Y ehan separated out a wisp of spiritual power that contained the mark of his own soul, and slowly poured it into the talisman.
A faint green light slowly lit up on the surface of the talisman.
His lips moved slightly, and a message of thought that only the person on the other end of the talisman could hear was transmitted.
"Qinghu, erase all traces immediately, do not expose yourself, and respond immediately after receiving the message!"
Zhao Y ehan stared at the talisman in his palm, quietly waiting for the other party's response.
According to the agreement between the two, as long as he activates this talisman, no matter what Qinghu is doing, feedback must be sent back within three breaths.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
There was dead silence in the quiet room, and there was no echo.
The green light on the talisman flickered for several times, like a broken candle, slowly dimming, and finally extinguished completely.
No news at all.
Zhao Y ehan's expression suddenly froze.
He couldn't believe it, so he activated his spiritual power crazily again and poured it all into the talisman.
"Qinghu! Reply immediately!"
But that once-flawless contact talisman was now like an unresponsive stone, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual light.
Lost contact.
His most hidden, most powerful, and always submissive trump card has completely lost contact.
An unprecedented level of suspicion and uneasiness, like a cold poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around Zhao Y ehan's heart.
For decades, all plans have been firmly in his hands.
Now, this is the first time that there are variables that are beyond his prediction and beyond his control.
In the dim shadow of the quiet room, the face of the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor, the great elder Zhao Y ehan, looked extremely ugly.
