Chapter 284: Chapter 148: Uprooting the Fragrant Hall, Exterminating Evil Without Mercy

Red Mountain Lady felt her conditions were a bit too harsh and hastily added, "Grubbing out someone’s Caiseng Hall is a serious matter, completely tearing down their establishment is akin to outright hostility. I’m taking a huge risk too, three days can’t be any less!"

"Fine," Chen Shi replied decisively.

Red Mountain Lady was quite delighted.

At this moment, within the Caiseng Hall, Instructor Hu had sensed the disturbance and raised his hand to signal everyone to silence.

Suddenly, the noise ceased, replaced by stillness.

An overwhelming stillness.

One after another, the disciples of Caiseng Hall stood solemn and silent. Three of them flipped onto the roof of the pavilion in the front courtyard, crouching low, two hid behind the rockery, and three concealed themselves within the canopy of the trees. Additionally, four others quietly submerged themselves in the fish pond, holding their breath, lying face up with their faces and bodies just submerged below the water’s surface, their eyes wide open and motionless.

Another five disciples hid in the corners, bending their bodies, two pressed closely behind the doors on each side of the corridor, and some lay on the ground, using the shadows for cover.

Everyone was silent and still, quietly invoking the Divine Shrine, conjuring the Divine Embryo, first gathering a Spell, then dispersing the Divine Shrine and Divine Embryo to avoid alerting the newcomers with the bright light of the Divine Shrine and Divine Embryo.

Instructor Hu then raised the Caiseng dolls that were absorbing the yin energy of the moonlight, each Caiseng doll silently floating up, their heads growing larger than a table for eight.

Pairs of eyes stared intently at the corridor’s doors.

Their Spells were primed and ready.

They had taken all the advantageous positions; as soon as someone came through the doors, they would be immediately overwhelmed by the Spells of the group and blasted into nothingness.

The corridor was dead quiet.

Those Caiseng dolls also listened intently, but they couldn’t hear a thing.

No footsteps.

No breaths, no heartbeats.

They were listening, and there in the corridor, Chen Shi closed his eyes and listened too.

He was not only listening but also sensing.

Ever since he had cultivated the Holy Embryo Dharma Body as described in the Three Light Righteous Qi Technique, his senses had become extremely keen, and even if invisible to the naked eye, he could hear the subtlest of movements around him.

He could sense the positions of the five Tianlao Society disciples behind the wall, their stances, their Spells, and even their heartbeats.

His senses extended even further, "seeing" the floating clay pots in the air, the big-headed dolls on top of the pots.

He also "saw" the six people lying on the ground and in the pavilion and the two hidden behind the rockery, as well as the four lying face-up beneath the surface of the pond.

He could even sense deeper things, feeling their Qi-Blood, the depth of their cultivation, the strength of their Spells.

Their cultivations varied, some with profound cultivation had refined a Golden Core, while others with shallower cultivation had only just formed their Divine Embryo.

Even, with each beat of these individuals’ hearts, the blood that surged from their hearts and flowed instantaneously to their limbs, skin surfaces, and extremities, he could "see" it all with vivid clarity!

But the hardest to sense was the person standing in the center of the courtyard.

The sense of that person to him was incredibly vague, their aura elusive and uncertain.

He could feel there was someone there or at least the outline of a person, but everything about this individual was blurred.

"A master," Chen Shi silently said.

Using Red Mountain Lady as his Divine Embryo, his perceptive abilities had become sharper than ever before, yet he still couldn’t clearly sense Instructor Hu’s shape, indicating that Instructor Hu’s cultivation was higher than that of Instructor Han, who had just died at his hands.

Instructor Hu was also intently sensing the corridor.

However, he only sensed three corpses and some broken pottery.

He couldn’t hear any breathing, heartbeats, feel any blood flow, no rushing Qi-Blood, no aura of Spells.

Aside from these three corpses and broken pottery, there was nothing else in the corridor!

"This person has either already left or is extremely dangerous!"

Instructor Hu steadied his mind and pursed his lips, hinting to a disciple to go check the corridor.

The disciple swallowed nervously, slowed his pace, and carefully moved to the door of the corridor, rapidly poking his head into the corridor and then swiftly retracting it!

If he withdrew his head quickly enough, there would be no danger.

"Clang!"

An invisible Sword Qi sliced through the air, striking the opposite wall and leaving a slash of blood.

That Tianlao Society disciple had only pulled back his neck, but his head did not retract with his neck; instead, it rolled onto the corridor floor.

He wasn’t quick enough.

At the same time, Instructor Hu commanded two Caiseng dolls to float up and fly over the corridor, looking down, he instantly captured the entire scene of the corridor in his sight!

In the corridor was just one person, a boy, at most twelve or thirteen years old, dressed simply but neatly, with a halo of light floating behind his head, within which was a miniature temple with wisps of incense smoke.

Instructor Hu used the eyes of the Caiseng dolls to scout the enemy, this Skill known as Borrowing Vision, although a minor Skill, was extremely practical.

The disciple who had just poked his head out was merely a decoy to attract the enemy’s attention, the true reconnaissance was being carried out by these two Caiseng dolls.

He had just captured the scene of the corridor in his eyes when there were two sharp snaps, the vases beneath the two dolls were shattered by an invisible Sword Qi, evil energy burst forth in all directions, the two dolls let out a piercing wail, plummeting down!

The hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys within the chests of the two Caiseng dolls had long been hollowed out, leaving only some odd talismans and medicinal herbs inside. Once the vases were broken, they lost support, could no longer breathe, and rapidly decayed, their cries becoming more and more pitiful, yet diminishing in volume.

"Such fast Spells!"
