Looking at the blood-red crystal in front of him, Wang Zheng was also somewhat moved.
After letting out a long sigh, he decided to pick it up and take it back to Elder Gu to study it and see what it was.
After all, something that could withstand the light of life for so long without dissolving must be extraordinary; it might even be something like the Heavenly Demon Crystal.
The moment Wang Zheng's fingers touched the surface of the crystal, a cold sensation followed by a sharp pain.
Immediately following, the memory fragments that began to change starting with Ling Youjie played rapidly in Wang Zheng's mind like a slideshow.
From his distraught discharge from the military, to being startled awake every quiet night, to his changing thoughts and gradual descent into depravity, to experimenting on his own body and planning a blood sacrifice for the town...
To be honest, Wang Zheng had no intention of absorbing such a special Heavenly Demon Crystal. After all, this was the first time he had seen this type of Heavenly Demon, and its research value far outweighed the benefits of absorbing it.
Moreover, he himself does not lack this upper limit of spiritual energy.
If the actual circumstances had allowed it, he would have seriously considered the possibility of leaving them alive.
However, plans never go as expected, and who could have known that the crimson crystal would shatter completely with just a touch?
More importantly, apart from this memory he had already guessed, the upper limit in the data panel did not increase!
Although a few thousand points of spiritual energy are just a drop in the ocean, the feeling of losing them for nothing still made Young Master Wang extremely depressed.
"Could there be something fishy going on here? After all, unlike before, I haven't seen any other useful information or memories in this barrier!"
After letting out a long sigh, Young Master Wang could only helplessly prepare to go and check on the civilians that Grandmaster Zhu Jingxian had rescued.
At this point, whether it was Ling Youjie or the new type of Heavenly Demon, they had long since become history.
All that remains is this devastated, isolated mountain, which still requires their final finishing touches.
Although the black fog has not completely dissipated yet, the culprit has been dealt with, and it's only a matter of time before the problem is resolved.
With a wave of his hand, Young Master Wang summoned dozens of beams of light, dispelling all the surrounding demonic mist. He then saw Master Zhu providing assistance from afar.
The two simply nodded to each other without exchanging any further words.
Wang Zheng also planned to go forward and check on the commoner's physical condition, after all, he was known as a healer and had even performed a miracle of limb regeneration in public.
In such situations, it can play a more significant role.
Just as Wang Zheng strode toward the corner where the survivors were, he suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis, as if something had gripped his heart.
"Oh no! Something's wrong!"
Wang Zheng always trusted his intuition, so he immediately stopped moving forward and then retreated to his original position.
Sure enough, the moment he retreated, the red light on the ordinary people who were being held back by Grandmaster Zhu Jingxian's mental power flashed and disappeared.
Under the faint, flickering light of the mystical light of life, the appearances of the commoners, who had varied in appearance, changed even more. Their faces twisted and contorted, and in the next second, they all transformed into the likeness of Ling Youjie, who had just completely disappeared.
When Wang Zheng looked closely, it returned to normal in an instant.
The speed of this change is so rapid that one might wonder if it's just their imagination.
"No, I can't be mistaken!"
Wang Dashao was confident in his observation skills. Although nothing had changed at the moment, he still decided to observe for a while longer.
Moreover, it's always better to be safe than sorry. This incident itself is full of strangeness, whether it's the boundless black mist or the skull that collapsed earlier. Ling Youjie's demonic image is also a completely new form.
"Speaking of this demonic mist, although it has thinned a bit, why hasn't it dissipated yet? Something's not right, there's definitely a problem!"
Thinking about all this, Wang Zheng felt it was better to be on the safe side.
Then, the cautious young master Wang cast a spiritual light around himself again and carefully looked into the distance.
Beneath the gradually thinning black mist, hundreds of villagers from Gushan Town lay or stood. Apart from some corpses that had been completely crystallized and broken into pieces, the humans on the ground all looked normal.
"What's wrong?"
Grandmaster Zhu Jingxian was not as perceptive as Wang Zheng. She looked at Wang Zheng with a face full of doubt, completely unaware of the situation.
After observing for a long time without finding anything, Wang Zheng simply shook his head.
"It's nothing, maybe I was just being too cautious..."
Although Wang Zheng still felt somewhat uneasy, he couldn't very well stop Master Zhu from saving people just because he was unsure of the reasons. Besides, regardless of whether these people had any problems or not, he could at least throw a few beams of mysterious light from afar.
Without further ado, he raised his hand and summoned several beams of light that descended, enveloping everyone.
The crystals on the ground where the holy beam of light fell also flashed with a strange red light before being completely dissolved.
Just as Wang Zheng thought that the red light was just a reflection of the Xuan Guang technique shining on these crystals, a female survivor who was being led by Zhu Jingxian in the crowd immediately caught his attention.
After all, everyone was groaning in pain under the light of the living beings. Even those who had fainted and were unable to make a sound still had their brows furrowed and looked extremely uncomfortable.
But only the woman's facial expression was very vivid and lifelike, and even the corners of her mouth that were turned up had a strange evil air about them.
