Tracking Yin Entities

During the day, the Zuo Household was just like the place Zhang Xuezhou had explored the day before; there was no sound of human voices anywhere he went, so quiet it was like a no-man's land.

Even in its most dilapidated state, the Zuo Household was once one of the top Lineage in Western Capital City, and few dared to force their way into the Zuo Household's residence.

Even Ren Wuyang and the others only chose to go because it involved significant connections.

This led to problems within the Zuo Household that were only known to a few people.

It's understandable that problems arise in the core area of Zuo Household, but it's difficult to pinpoint the cause when problems occur throughout the entire area where the Zuo Household resides.

"Not to mention the Lineage members in the core buildings of the Zuo Household, as well as the people in the research institute and the family quarters, even the security personnel have disappeared. But they seem to have reappeared at night; in some areas, you can see figures through the windows!"

Knowing that Zhang Xuezhou had gone to Dongshan, Ren Wuyang did not smash the Zuo Household's windows. Instead, he patiently investigated the situation until Zhang Xuezhou returned from Dongshan.

"These people disappeared during the day, but all came out at night?"

A shadow fell over Zhang Xuezhou's mind, as if he had encountered something sinister that had lurked in the daytime and then appeared at night.

However, in reality, the conditions for living beings to transform into yin entities after death are lacking, and it is even more impossible for people of all ages to transform into yin entities.

There are conditions for living beings to transform into Yin entities after death. Most living beings decay after death, and only a few can transform into Yin entities based on their own conditions or good fortune. The success rate is similar to that of cultivators breaking through realms.

Zhang Xuezhou believes that the Zuo Household's situation fits the description of a yin entity, but he finds it difficult to accept that everyone has transformed into a yin entity.

The Yin Entity Tracking Technique, which he had previously cultivated as a joke, was instantly activated. A shimmering purple light continuously coiled around Zhang Xuezhou's palm, then transformed into nearly a thousand purple rays that shot off in all directions.

"This isn't a skill we use for practice, so how could it work?"

As Tracking Technique for locating yin entities, it was also used by many to resist the excessive Law Power accumulated by the Peiyuan Ointment. Zhang Xuezhou's technique was not unusual; even Ren Wuyang could recognize it.

Ren Wuyang had never seen the Yin Entity Tracking Technique transform into a dense rain of light.

"This technique can detect the spiritual imprint left by a person after death," Zhang Xuezhou said. "As long as there is no physical body to conceal it, and a spiritual imprint remains, this technique can make a judgment."

If we interpret the three souls and seven spirits as spirits, it will obviously be simpler for Ren Wuyang and others to understand.

Upon hearing the brief explanation, Ren Wuyang's face paled.

"Brother, do you mean the entire Zuo Household is dead?" Ren Wuyang, his face showing shock.

"Judging from my technique, the current situation is indeed as described," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If I had known this would happen, I should have used my technique to investigate yesterday!"

"This spell has taken effect. Does that mean those people are still in the same place, but we just can't see them?" Ren Anran asked.

"What caused this?" Zhou Rihui, who had arrived almost simultaneously, asked with puzzlement, "Why is this situation limited to the Zuo Household area? And will it spread? Where is the source?"

Zhou Rihui, who has always preferred to charge headlong into battle, now has an alloy shield in his hand, and his thinking seems to have changed as well. His constant questioning is no longer as reckless as before.

But Zhang Xuezhou couldn't answer Zhou Rihui's question.

Just like the cases of those insects that roamed the streets of Letaya City in the Thousand Islands Alliance and eventually hatched, Zhang Xuezhou had limited knowledge of Huang Daoxian, and he could not explain the current situation.

In Zhang Xuezhou's initial understanding, he believed that Huang Daoxian had cultivated the art of manipulation and, like him, had been hiding by the king's side, thus constantly promoting the development of the art of manipulation. After being discovered by the king, he forcibly controlled the king, which also led to the successive deaths of the kings of the Luofu Dynasty.

The lucky jewelry that Zuo Jin further reinforced Zhang Xuezhou's judgment.

In Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, the spirits of the dead and the ghosts of the dead have nothing to do with practitioners of fortune-telling techniques.

But recalling the hallucinatory effects of the purple gladiolus, the three heads on the left-hand vine, and even the chip that had mysteriously disappeared in the darkness after being searched in the Pan'an sinkhole, Zhang Xuezhou belatedly adjusted his judgment.

"Let's investigate first," Zhang Xuezhou said cautiously.

"Wouldn't a direct investigation alert the enemy?" Ren Anran asked worriedly.

"I'm afraid they're hiding some tricks that could wipe me out too," Ren Wuyang said, frowning.

Clearly, Ren Wuyang's sense of crisis has emerged.

If it had happened last night, Ren Wuyang wouldn't have had this perception and judgment, but after continuously learning the true situation, a sense of crisis inexplicably arose in his heart.

"If we encounter inanimate objects, only daylight can make them avoid us," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Daytime is the best time for us to investigate the source!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Ren Anran nodded, while Ren Wuyang glanced at Ren Anran but didn't dare to object. Zhou Rihui took a deep breath and chose to leap over the ten-foot-high wall covered with an electric fence.

"Wind!"

While muttering incantations, Ren Anran leaped over the wall as if riding the wind.

Zhang Xuezhou used the same spell, and as he stepped on the waves, he slid over the wall.

"Wait for me!"

Ren Wuyang was lagging behind, watched as everyone casually finished their discussion and then jumped over the wall. He couldn't help but spit several times into his palm.

After retreating more than twenty meters, Ren Wuyang also sprinted forward and then jumped to stomp.

The wall, which was ten feet high, was only a little over three meters high. Ren Wuyang had practiced ancient martial arts swordsmanship when Ren Wuyang young, so he was agile enough to climb over the wall without any problem. Even if there was an electric fence on the wall, it wouldn't stop him.

But as he leaped over the obstacle, Ren Wuyang felt utterly terrible.

"Why is there such a thicket of thorns behind this wall? I've never seen the Zuo Household grow these things before!"

Before his eyes came a vast expanse of thorny brambles, some as wide as two meters, which made Ren Wuyang lose all thought of struggling.

He thought to himself, and his body only had time to curl up before he tumbled to the ground.

The pain of sharp spikes piercing his body surged up, Ren Wuyang felt that the physical strength brought by the sequence was of no use at all, and could not stop these spikes from piercing him. There were so many places where he was pierced that he almost cried out in pain, but a cool sensation quickly descended, and he clenched his teeth and shut his mouth.

"Brother, you're falling behind us!"

Ren Anran landed and withdrew the Cloud Soaring Technique, then switched to the Supreme Purity True Technique to treat the patient.

Then Zhou Rihui and Zhang Xuezhou worked together to pull the vines, constantly removing the sharp thorns from Ren Wuyang's body.

"These rose thorns are at least three centimeters long, and they've grown too thickly. It's normal Wuyang he can't fly over them. He's suffering now, so don't blame him," Zhou Rihui advised.

"Professor Ren is very special, perhaps the only one!"

Zhang Xuezhou, however, was able to understand Ren Anran's words.

Ren Anran's criticism wasn't purely directed at Ren Wuyang's strength, but rather at the belief that Ren Wuyang's cultivation method was flawed.

No matter how special or strong Ren Yisheng's abilities are, they cannot be replicated by others, even though Ren Wuyang was personally taught by Ren Yisheng.

Perhaps Ren Wuyang's mistake was so serious that Ren Anran repeatedly emphasized it.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to quickly offer a reminder.

Within their small circle, almost no one practices in the same way. Instead, each person develops their own methods based on their individual circumstances, and no one completely imitates another simply because someone is stronger.

Simply put, everyone has their own path; they may learn from others but won't copy them, and even Zhang Manqian is no exception.

Ren Wuyang is very likely completely imitating Ren Yisheng, or the path that Ren Yisheng ideally envisioned himself to take, and thus directly projected onto Ren Wuyang. Whether Ren Wuyang can achieve this is another matter entirely.

"I'd like to go solo, but my father says I have to reach Chapter Six first!"

"We'll take care of it!"

The reasoning wasn't hard to understand, Ren Wuyang thought it through, but still replied helplessly.

When Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed, Ren Wuyang realized that family was the most reliable people.

Thinking of Zhang Xuezhou, who had also mastered Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, he suddenly felt his gloomy sky brighten up.
