At first, there was nothing unusual.
Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, taking it as just a silly trick.
But then he began to realize that something was wrong.
Under the blazing sun, the temperature in this area dropped at a visible rate, and, whether it was his imagination or not, the space was gradually becoming darker.
What did you do?
Lin Yun panicked.
He looked directly at the mastermind behind all of this.
The man in black snapped his fingers lightly.
With a crisp sound, the sky, which had been bright just moments before, suddenly became pitch black.
Seeing the drastic change in the surrounding scene, Lin Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart seemed to be churning with turmoil. He panicked instantly.
At this moment, fear appeared on his face, making him look like a helpless child. The bloody aura of the murderous monster from before had completely vanished.
Where am I?
He released his spiritual consciousness and then felt like he was sinking into a quagmire, struggling and thrashing about. The feeling of suffocation in his heart became even stronger, and his psychological defenses completely collapsed.
Just then, he vaguely saw a glimmer of light, and a bloody, pungent smell rushed towards him, hitting his face like a steel needle piercing his skin.
As the light expanded, what quickly unfolded before him was a mountain piled high with countless white bones and skulls, with thick red water flowing down from the top, staining the bones.
The fiery red sunset painted half the sky.
On the mountain made of corpses, countless vengeful spirits gathered. These spirits were all different kinds of people, and Lin Yun was particularly familiar with some of them, as they were the people he had just killed.
The bodies of those people were now in an extremely twisted and perverse arc.
As a strong, pungent smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, Lin Yun's pupils contracted sharply. The cold air, mixed with the stench, entered his abdomen, causing him to cough violently.
"Sir, spare me! Sir..."
Lin Yun had never seen such a cruel and bloody scene before. He was so frightened that he wet himself. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground with a thud. His hands were weakly supporting him on the ground, and a limp feeling came from his palms.
He looked down in surprise, and then, in the crimson light, he could vaguely see a pool of blood and mud on his palm, along with a fermented, foul smell.
hiss!
The chill that enveloped him felt like it was tearing his limbs apart.
"ah!"
The triple stimulation from his senses of smell and touch completely shattered his psychological defenses, leaving him teetering on the brink of collapse.
He screamed and roared like a madman, his face contorted with terror, veins throbbing and bulging, creating a stark contrast with his skin, like a human mask about to be peeled off.
"Scared? You're scared already?"
As the cold, detached voice rang out, Lin Yun's vision returned to normal, revealing a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze that wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead and the grime covering his body.
He was stunned for a moment, his complexion gradually improved, and then he blankly lowered his head, only to realize that the thick mud was actually a mixture of excrement and urine, but under the glow of the blood-red light, it did look somewhat like minced meat.
At this moment, Lin Yun was panting heavily. When he looked up and saw the person in front of him, he was as if he had seen a ghost. He took several steps back until he created what he thought was a safe distance. Only after his violently heaving chest eased slightly did he breathe a sigh of relief with a look of horror on his face.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you frightening me like this? Have I ever offended you by chance?"
"No."
The man in black shook his head and said calmly, "This is our first meeting, so there's no question of offending you."
"Since we have no past grievances or recent enmity, why are you treating me this way?"
Lin Yun asked in a gentler tone.
When facing the man in black, he no longer displayed the arrogant attitude he had when speaking to the butler.
All he wanted now was to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. Once he entered the city, with the protection of the prefectural governor's office, he figured this person wouldn't dare to make a move rashly.
"I will avenge those you killed."
The man in black spoke slowly.
Lin Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, "You..."
call out!
The man in black raised his palm, and within his fair hand, a ball of extremely dark light slowly appeared. Then, he began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding space.
The space near the black orb of light collapsed, turning into countless fragments of spiritual energy, revealing a terrifying void.
Once it had grown large enough, the man in black flicked his finger, and with a bang, the black ball of light expanded infinitely in Lin Yun's horrified eyes.
"Demonic energy...you are not from the Nine Provinces Continent!"
As Lin Yun finished speaking, the ball of black light instantly enveloped his entire body. A few seconds later, the black light disappeared, and the spot where Lin Yun had been kneeling was now empty, as if no one had ever been there.
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Lin Yun, this is the result of your own actions, so don't blame me."
After the man in black finished speaking, just as he was about to disappear, he frowned, suddenly looked into the distance, and, as if seeing something, took a deep breath and said with a hint of surprise, "Why are you here..."
Perhaps seeing the person he had been longing for day and night, his slightly immature face, hidden beneath the black-sleeved cloak, was filled with a smile. "It seems... the fate between us is truly unbreakable."
He immediately waved his sleeve, and a black whirlwind rose from beneath his feet. He leaped into the air and disappeared into the wind.
...
Ye Mansion
"What did you say? That little girl is out?"
In the high hall, Ye Mu's face was contorted with rage. He grabbed a teacup from the table and threw it at the kneeling servants below.
The servant dared not dodge. The teacup, imbued with spiritual power, struck him, its force far exceeding that of physical strength. Thus, his shoulder was quickly left a bloody mess.
A sharp pain spread throughout my body like a wave.
In an instant, beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead.
"Absolutely true... Absolutely true."
With each word the servant spoke, he gasped for breath, grimacing in pain as he said, "Our people saw Su Xuan'er with their own eyes at the inn."
"Step down."
Ye Mu was extremely annoyed.
Fortunately, after Wu Ying, the daughter of the prefect, returned, the alliance between the Ye family and the prefect's mansion did not break down. In particular, the miners' riot just now required the deployment of a martial artist, Lin Yun, who was a Xuanling Realm martial artist, and the price paid was not small.
With this, he felt somewhat relieved. After letting out a long sigh of relief, Ye Mu waved his hand, and a lean man slowly walked in.
"Zhu Shun, go and see if Cao Tianming has actually broken through to the Saint Realm. Alas, we have raised a tiger to cause trouble in the end."
In the end, Ye Mu sighed.
Upon hearing this, the lean man who had just entered said softly, "Master, this old servant just examined it, and it seems to be true that the aura of a saint has not dissipated, but..."
