Chapter 31 The Spiritual Essence That Was Dug Away
When Ji You entered the front hall of the Master's Palace, the dark hall was already full of people.
There was a team leader who went out to search, instructors who participated in the search, and Ban Yangshu, whose arm was in a sling. On the left was Ji Qirui, who had half of his shirt taken off and his chest wrapped tightly.
Ban Yangshu's shoulder was hit by an iron fist, injuring his bones, and Ji Qirui's left chest was hit by a thunder spell, burning his arm.
Seeing Ji You come in, they both had complicated expressions.
It was clearly the same battle, but how come he looked like he hadn't participated in it and was still dressed so handsomely...
However, after muttering to themselves, they both stood up at the same time and thanked Ji You solemnly.
Seeing this, the three managers also stood up and expressed their sincere concern, as if Ji You was as sad as Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui.
"Where were you talking about just now?"
Seeing this, Ban Yangshu said, "We talked about the evil species."
Ji You was slightly stunned: "Yesterday I saw you guys shouting about evil seed, what exactly is that thing?"
"In the ancient times, it was not our human race that controlled the Qingyun world, but a race that was later called the Ancient Relics. This race had strong bodies, were born with the ability to practice magic, ate humans, enslaved all things, and eventually angered the Heavenly Dao."
"The Heavenly Dao then sent down seven Dao instruments, which were wielded by the seven sages of the human race. As a result, the ancient descendants were exterminated."
"This evil seed is formed when the ancient descendants of the tribe became evil after their death."
Ji Qirui heard the voice and added: "After the ancient war, there were many ancient relics left in Qingyun World, scattered everywhere. Some were so large and vast that even the upper five realms dared not enter. Some were as small as a deserted house and were called abandoned temples by the people. Evil species lurked around them and ate the woodcutters and scholars passing by alive."
Ji You opened his eyes wide when he heard the voice and thought, so that's it.
No wonder Kuang Cheng said that if those who went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations took the land route, only two out of five would survive. It turned out that this was not an exaggeration.
There is no Xiaoqian in the temple, it's just a room full of old ladies.
With this kind of thing around, it would be hard for Lao Kuang to survive.
Ji You thought for a moment and frowned again: "You said that the evil species likes to give birth to cannibals, but why did the people who were found become mummies?"
After listening to Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui finish their story, Manager Qin nodded and said, "Ji You is indeed perceptive. This is also one of the suspicious points we need to investigate. Do you have any clues?"
"That damn thing is very strong."
"The ancient remnants are different from humans in structure. They are inherently extremely powerful. Even after death, their physical strength does not decrease. This is not new."
Ji You thought for a moment and looked up: "It's just a flesh and blood body, can it think?"
Manager Qin shook his head: "The body is extremely bloodthirsty when it enters the evil, but I have no such case for the time being."
"No, that ghost thing was afraid of death when fighting with me. After I launched the second sword, he started to dodge, and his eyes were full of fear."
"?"
Upon hearing this, the officials in the Council of Officials began to discuss the matter.
The reason why the evil species created by the ancient corpses are not scary and no immortal sect has gone to clean them up is because they have no thoughts.
Even if they just eat some passing woodcutters or scholars, it is not worth the Immortal Sect's intervention.
But Ji You actually said that the person who fought with him knew fear, and an ominous smell spread in the courtyard.
The head of the Ji family interrupted everyone's speech and said, "Let's not talk about the evil seed. Regarding the swordsman and the black-clothed person in the Rong Dao realm, does Mr. Ji have any clues?"
Ji You thought for a moment and said, "That swordsman is a good killer. He must have fought with others often. He is different from the immortal sect disciples who hide in the mountains to practice in seclusion."
"Where is the one in the Rong Dao realm?"
"I dealt with him indirectly and have no information to provide."
Manager Ji nodded and said, "Do Yang Shu and Qi Rui have anything to add?"
Ban Yangshu clasped his fists and bowed: "That person only used basic thunder magic. He was intentionally hiding his identity and did not leave any clues."
After listening to everyone's discussion, Ji Qirui suddenly interrupted and said, "I have something to add."
"Tell me about it."
"When we were leaving the building, we stopped because we sensed an evil spirit. But at that time, the evil spirit first passed by and then suddenly came back. I suspect they attacked us on a whim."
Ban Yangshu's eyes lit up when he heard Ji Qirui's words: "Yes, the Rong Dao Realm also arrived after the evil seed."
Manager Qin frowned slightly: "That means they didn't plan to attack you? But the evil species got out of control?"
"It should be so."
Hearing this, Ji You couldn't help but frown.
The evil creature swooped over, seemingly trying to catch Lu Qingqiu, but Ji You, as the person involved, understood that he wanted to kill him.
If what Ji Qirui said was correct, the attacker had intended to bypass them and leave, but the evil creature lost control for some reason and targeted him.
Ji You’s brows relaxed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
That evil creature was a girl, very beautiful.
Solve the case!
No, that's not right. If she was so lustful, her claws wouldn't be scratching her face all the time.
Ji You raised his head and looked at the three persons in charge sitting above him. He saw them looking at each other and nodding mysteriously, as if they had a clue.
But in reality, they had no idea.
When they first received the news, they thought that some immortal sect was secretly targeting Tianshuyuan.
But after finding the bodies, it was discovered that the dead were not just disciples of Tianshu Academy. Among them were two royal clan members with decent talent for cultivation, and the identity of the other was not yet clear.
To find clues, we need to find common ground. Now the only thing the five victims have in common is that they are cultivators, nothing more.
After all the information was checked, everyone dispersed and the three managers went to the back hall.
There was only one small window in the back hall, and the environment was dark. At this time, the tables and chairs had been removed, and five mummies were placed in the empty hall. A Taoist in a long robe was examining them carefully, with a frown on his brows.
"Palace Master Zuoqiu."
Zuo Qiuyang turned around and looked at them: "Did you gain anything?"
Manager Qin cupped his hands and said, "It is very difficult to cultivate to the Rong Dao realm through private practice. That person must be in the immortal register, but the swordsman may have cultivated privately. The strangest thing is the evil species."
"How strange?"
Manager Qin lowered his voice and said, "Everyone knows that the evil species cannot leave the ancient ruins for more than ten miles, but it appeared in Shengjing City. This is one reason. Second, Ji You, who fought with it, said that it was afraid, which is even more strange."
Ji Jingyao looked at the five corpses at this time: "I wonder if Palace Master Zuoqiu has found any clues?"
"I'm afraid this Qingyun world is going to be in chaos."
Zuo Qiuyang looked at the five corpses, and his words made the three managers look shocked.
It is true that the corpse was sucked dry and not eaten alive by the evil creature, but that is not the point.
The key point is that all five of them are practitioners, and have reached the stage of condensing their spiritual essence, but now their spiritual essence has been completely dug out.
If it's just killing someone, it's not a big problem. But if something unexpected happens, it will foreshadow a greater disaster.
More importantly, when you notice this matter, it means that it is no longer afraid of being noticed.
