Chapter 63: Shadow of the Blood Beast
"Mr. Xia, the Duke is waiting for you in Hall 3."
The guard pushed open another door and bowed as if to invite someone in. "Go to the end and turn left, and you'll see it."
The corridor was very long, with scattered dim candlelight flickering on the walls on both sides with carved dragons and painted buildings.
"Okay, thank you."
Xia Feng smiled and nodded, then walked to the end.
He smelled the breath of Evil Power, which was very strong, almost catching up with the concentration of Miss Evil Dragon's breath.
But this evil force is not active, so it is not brought by the evil beast itself, but is simply a high-concentration evil spirit liquid.
"It's quite interesting." Xia Feng came to the end and looked to the left, and a tall dark red door came into view.
The number [3] is engraved in gold on the high door.
The evil force came from this door, but it seemed to be suppressed and sealed, and it was difficult for ordinary spiritualists below the level of Venerable to feel it.
But Xia Feng was not an ordinary spiritual master. When he arrived at the door, he could even directly sense the appearance of Eri inside. It seemed that he was sealed by a small ball and suspended in the air.
It was obvious that someone wanted to kill him.
Although it was the prince who summoned him, there was no reason for the prince to do anything bad to him. He guessed that it was probably the prince's eldest son who was behind this.
The guard who led him to Hall 3 was probably Li Siwen's man.
This is not a perfect murder plan, but this is the Duke's territory. Now that the matter is settled, the Duke will probably have to cover for Li Siwen.
After all, there is the Evil Dragon Forest next to it. It is normal for a first-level spiritualist to accidentally trigger some mechanism and then die from the evil force.
Xia Feng looked back and saw no surveillance cameras around.
The door was ajar, and he knocked on it pretending to know nothing. After a long time when no one responded, he pushed the door open in confusion.
Inside was a conference room, with a small dark red ball floating in the center, less than half the size of a palm, and it shot straight towards him as he pushed the door open.
The moment the ball shot out of the door, he closed the door without changing his expression. The ball seemed to sense something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but was caught by Xia Feng.
The sphere vibrated and hummed, and the terrifying evil force instantly rushed through his palm and into his heart.
Snap——
The bead shattered into ordinary glass fragments, scattered all over the ground, and a short, thin metal wire inside was obsolete and dim.
"It looks like some kind of spiritual weapon." Xia Feng picked up the wire and took a look. The words "Pingshan Technology" were clearly written on the glass chip at the bottom.
“Bang—”
“Dongdong——”
With the influx of the evil spirit liquid, the heart activity increased again, and it seemed that it had finally reached a critical point. Xia Feng's face changed slightly, and a tingling electric current rushed from his heart to his limbs and bones, reaching the depths of his soul.
[Demon Heart Repair Progress: 0.01%]
[Activate basic magic power: Shadow of the Blood Beast]
[Effect 1: Filtered Blood Beast impurities can be deposited into the shadow. When your own shadow overlaps with the target's shadow, a shadow path is established. At this time, the target's shadow can also become a container for storing Blood Beast.]
[Effect 2: All shadows connected through the Shadow Path will become your weapons to invade the target's soul. You can control the blood beast to erode the target's soul along the shadow. The erosion effect depends on the target's mental strength.]
A lot of information flashed through Xia Feng's mind, and his eyes widened: "I lost it."
This ability seems very powerful, it can kill people without them being seen, but the prerequisite is to make good use of the light source.
While thinking, he threw a ball of blood beast mist in his hand to the ground. The moment it swallowed and assimilated the glass shards on the ground, it sank into the shadows and disappeared.
Xia Feng looked at his inexplicably eerie shadow, and suddenly felt that his abilities were getting closer and closer to those of an evil villain.
It's not just copying and robbing, it's also mental erosion, it's outrageous.
Thinking about it, he glanced at the slightly open door and nodded, "Well, just pretend I've never been here."
Xia Feng put his hands in his pockets, turned around and leisurely returned the same way.

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
After watching Xia Feng enter the corridor, Li Siwen smiled and looked at Mu Qingtong: "Miss Qingtong, come with me. I have something to talk to you about."
Mu Qingtong glanced at the mushrooms beside her and said calmly, "There are no outsiders here. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Things that are not to be seen in public should naturally be said in private." Li Siwen smiled faintly, "Miss Qingtong, are you sure you want to say this here?"
Mu Qingtong raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and the mask of a faint smile disappeared: "Ants always like to be complacent after doing evil things, to show off their mortal wisdom."
"What—" Li Siwen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked up thoughtfully, "Do you know what I did?"
Mu Qingtong naturally didn't know what the other party had done, but she guessed it almost right. After all, she saw a lot of secrets from the memory of the prince's second son.
For example, there is a spiritual weapon called the Er Ningzhu. The two brothers like to use this thing to kill people silently, and after the person dies, they can blame it on the evil beast.
Mushroom looked at the two people in confusion, wondering what they were talking about.
"I have to say, Miss Qingtong, you are very smart."
"But there are also many secrets, which is not a good thing~" Li Siwen said with a chuckle, placing the phone screen horizontally in front of Mu Qingtong.
It clearly read: "I know you killed my brother. If you want to keep your crime secret, come to room 404."
Li Siwen put down his phone and smiled politely, but his eyes were fixed on the woman in the black dress with great aggression: "I believe Miss Qingtong can make a wise choice."
As he said this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips and he turned and left.
But strangely, he had just walked to the center of the venue when he suddenly stopped where he was, and his playful eyes gradually lost their luster and became empty.
Mu Qingtong was leaning on the sofa, her legs elegantly crossed under her restrained black dress. She raised her high-heeled glass, the wine swaying with blood light, and sipped it into her red lips.
The dim candlelight reddened her long eyelashes, and she lowered them slightly, hiding the cold murderous intent back under her golden pupils.
Now is not the best time to kill.
There were too many people at the banquet, and Li Siwen died suddenly, making it difficult to deal with the things in his phone.
We have to wait until the banquet is over before we can deal with this ant.
"Your Highness, I am the adopted son of Count Louis. I wonder what you think of the project I told you about last time?" A man walked up to Li Siwen with a smile and handed him a red wine glass.
Li Siwen raised his head and stared at the man with empty eyes.
The man was stunned for a moment, then asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you okay? You don't look well."
Li Siwen tilted his neck to the left, paused, and shook his head normally. He took the red wine glass and said indifferently, "You go."
Seeing that Li Siwen gave him an opportunity, the man quickly began to introduce his own entertainment projects, and many people gathered around him.
"You--" The guard was startled when he saw Xia Feng suddenly come out.
"What about me?" Xia Feng asked in confusion.
The guard choked and said in a deep voice: "Didn't the prince summon you? Why did you come out so soon?"
Xia Feng rolled his eyes and said, "I feel like you're kidding me. There's nothing in Hall 3."
"How could this be?" The guard looked towards the center of the venue subconsciously in confusion.
Xia Feng also followed his gaze and saw Li Siwen surrounded by a group of people, and the crisscrossing shadows under their feet.
