Chapter 2071
The Demon Appears
After returning to Guangling City, Mu Yunxi decided to stay quietly in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and no longer thought about escaping.
She longed to uncover the secrets of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but she also knew that the mansion was definitely on guard against her, and any action she took would inevitably be discovered.
She would have to wait until the Prince of Zhennan's mansion lowered its guard before she could investigate its secrets.
However, to Mu Yunxi's surprise, Feng Lin did not return to Tianxuan Palace; instead, she returned to Guangling City.
The courtyard where Mu Yunxi was located in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Mu Yunxi is absorbing the spiritual energy from the strange pearl in front of her.
At this moment, a disciple of Tianxuan Palace entered the courtyard: "Holy Maiden, Elder Feng has returned."
Upon hearing the disciple's words, Mu Yunxi immediately opened her eyes, a look of confusion on her face.
Why did Feng Lin come back? Didn't she tell Feng Lin to take the Shadow Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace?
Just as Mu Yunxi was wondering, Feng Lin had already entered the courtyard, her face seemingly showing a hint of panic.
Judging from her expression, Mu Yunxi guessed that Feng Lin must have used the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror to see some images of that Heavenly Realm expert from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, otherwise she wouldn't be so nervous.
Feng Lin's return this time is probably also to take her away from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Feng Lin quickly approached Mu Yunxi and said, "Holy Maiden, we must leave Guangling City immediately."
Mu Yunxi glanced at the courtyard entrance, then said indifferently, "This is not the place to talk. Follow me."
Mu Yunxi then led Feng Lin into the room. Immediately afterwards, she had the disciples of Tianxuan Palace stand guard at the door to prevent anyone from approaching the room where she was.
After doing all this, Mu Yunxi finally asked, "Elder Feng, what happened?"
Feng Lin immediately said, "Holy Maiden, we used the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror in Yunya City. Through the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror, we discovered that there really is a Heavenly Realm expert in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing Feng Lin's words, Mu Yunxi said thoughtfully, "It really is true."
Feng Lin hurriedly said, "Holy Maiden, if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion wants the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror, they will definitely use you to threaten the Tianxuan Palace. We can no longer stay in Guangling City."
Seeing that Feng Lin was in such a hurry, Mu Yunxi told Feng Lin directly about what she had experienced in the past few days: "Elder Feng, actually I planned to leave Guangling City the day before yesterday. I even led the disciples of Tianxuan Palace out of Guangling City, but I eventually came back."
"This……"
Feng Lin didn't understand why Mu Yunxi hadn't left. This place was so dangerous; if they stayed in Guangling City, wouldn't they become lambs to the slaughter?
Mu Yunxi continued, "Since the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can cultivate a Heaven Realm expert, it proves that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion's foundation is no weaker than that of the Tianxuan Palace. They may not even be interested in the Suying Liuguang Mirror."
"Furthermore, if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion really wants the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror, even if we return to the Tianxuan Palace, will the Zhennan Prince's Mansion be powerless against us?"
"When that Heavenly Realm expert from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion comes to Tianxuan Palace in person, do you think the Palace Master will hand over the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror?"
Elder Feng's face froze instantly.
What Mu Yunxi said made sense. If a Heavenly Realm expert wanted their magic weapon, they would have no choice but to hand it over.
Their palace master still has missions to the upper sect, so it's impossible for him to offend a Heavenly Realm expert at this time.
If they offend the Heavenly Realm experts of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, they will have no choice but to leave the Great Zhou, and the mission entrusted to them by the Upper Sect will fail.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter whether they go back to Tianxuan Palace or not.
Mu Yunxi continued, "The reason I came back is to find out which power in Zhongzhou the Zhennan Prince's Mansion belongs to. They are able to cultivate a Heavenly Realm expert, so there must be some super power supporting them behind the scenes."
"If we find out about the super power behind the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, then the Upper Sect will be able to deal with it better."
Feng Lin said, "Is it because I was too anxious, or is it because the Holy Maiden was so thoughtful?"
……
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Fan Yaodong and his group arrived in Hanjiang City. At this time, at the Qin family...
The setting sun dipped below the western hills, leaving only a large patch of evening glow in the sky.
The vast Qin family compound was completely silent; the entire Qin family compound had become a living hell.
A chilling, biting wind carried the sweet, pungent smell of blood. The vermilion gate was wide open, and dark red blood was everywhere on the lintel.
The tables, chairs, and benches in the front hall were all smashed, and claw marks were visible everywhere on the solid wood beams and pillars.
The Qin family patriarch lay in the center of the hall, his face filled with extreme terror, his eyes wide open, staring intently into the air. His chest had been completely torn apart, and blood had soaked through the stone slab beneath him.
The entire Qin family, from the elderly to infants, masters, servants, maids, and guards, was wiped out; not a single one was spared.
Looking at the horrific massacre of the entire family before him, Fan Yaodong took a deep breath.
Like those massacres of villages, although the scene was quite gruesome, there was no trace of anything eerie or evil.
It appears that the other party used sheer force to slaughter all of the Qin family's hundreds of members.
Fan Yaodong then squatted down in front of a corpse and looked at the hole in the corpse's chest.
He was genuinely curious: why did this monster want to dig out people's hearts? What was the Yellow Springs Cult trying to do? Could it be that the monster specifically ate human hearts?
Fan Yaodong then said to the others in the Zhengui Division, "Go and look around, see if you can find any clues."
Immediately, the members of the Zhengui Division dispersed and searched the Qin family's residence thoroughly, but found nothing.
Fan Yaodong stood in the Qin family compound, feeling somewhat unwilling.
He was also hoping to find the hiding place of the Yellow Springs Cult and make a great contribution.
In the end, nothing could be found, so how could he be credited?
As dusk settled and the sunset faded, night fell completely. The red moonlight shone down on the earth, making the Qin family compound appear even more sinister and terrifying.
Just then, the sounds of fighting suddenly came from the Qin family's backyard.
The next moment, a firework shot into the sky and exploded above the Qin family's residence.
Fan Yaodong and the others reacted instantly, and then they rushed towards the Qin family's backyard.
In just a few breaths, Fan Yaodong and his group arrived at the Qin family's backyard.
Fan Yaodong stood on the rooftop, looking at the monster in the backyard that was fighting with the Zhengui Guard.
The monster was two zhang tall, wore a cloak, and possessed immense strength. Its huge claws could knock away the Zhengui Guard with a single swipe.
At this moment, more than a dozen of the surrounding Zhengui Guards had fallen, all of them seriously injured and unable to get up.
Seeing this, Fan Yaodong immediately said to the heads of the Antiquities Bureau around him, "Let's attack together and try to capture them alive."
They've been searching for the Yellow Springs Cult for so long, and they've finally caught the real culprit. They absolutely cannot let this monster escape today.
As soon as Fan Yaodong finished speaking, he leaped off the roof, gripped the Demon-Suppressing Blade in his hand, and headed straight for the monster.
As soon as Fan Yaodong and the others approached the monster, some black gas appeared around its body.
The black mist was neither a spirit nor a ghost, but it made people feel very uncomfortable.
For a moment, everyone present felt a daze and their emotions were affected.
Fan Yaodong was the first to react, and he immediately shouted a reminder to everyone: "Everyone, calm down! This monster can affect people's minds!" (End of Chapter)
