Chapter 424: Chapter 283 Spirit Talisman Warrior_2

"Just keep going forward, and we should know soon."

Mr. Lu spoke slowly, "Over the years, East Mountain Prefecture has used over a thousand people, sacrificed lives, to carve out this relatively accurate path... but it’s limited to the outer areas. Continuing further in, it is still up to us later explorers to venture forth."

Lin Yan looked ahead and said slowly, "The path explored by East Mountain Prefecture comes to an end here."

Because he passed by the crowd ahead, he saw a corpse hanging above the Forbidden Land.

This corpse had been skinned, its entire body blood-red, muscles still writhing, constantly dripping with fresh blood.

Its head was embedded into the rock wall above.

But Lin Yan still recognized the identity of the corpse.

Because the corpse’s left hand was missing three fingers.

Among the elites of the Human Clan who had come with the Deputy Commander of the Prefecture City Sky Observation Department, there was a Flag Commander missing three fingers.

"This is one of the men brought by the Deputy Commander."

Lin Yan said, "He is the one who is most familiar with the Forbidden Land now..."

Since there were casualties even among the Deputy Commander’s subordinates, it meant the path known to the Deputy Commander had come to an end.

New directions needed to be scouted at the cost of the lives of his men!

Boom!!!

At that moment, the East Mountain Prefecture Master made his move.

Mana surged mightily, intense as flames, illuminating the Forbidden Land as if dispelling darkness.

Sharp shrieks and wails echoed through the darkness.

And as the East Mountain Prefecture Master reached forward.

He suddenly halted.

He saw a horrific, blood-drenched scene ahead.

Limbs and intestines were strewn everywhere, with fresh blood flowing and severed heads rolling over.

These were the men under the command of Luo Lao.

"Lord..."

A young man was clutching his abdomen, holding his intestines, trying to stuff them back in.

He pointed towards the inner area, his voice trembling, "Luo Lao... was invaded by evil Qi, he’s lost control..."

On this path, there are only a few "Guardians."

But the greatest danger turned out to be Luo Lao, who had been invaded by evil Qi, causing the foreign True Qi within his body to lose control.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master had a complex expression as he glanced ahead and realized the young man was beyond saving.

Not only were his injuries grave, but the foreign True Qi from Luo Lao had invaded his heart channels.

If they were outside, perhaps they could try to save him with the help of miraculous pills and medicine.

But within this Forbidden Land, with endless eerie Qi, even if the young man were saved, his physical body wouldn’t retain its original human form.

"Do you have any last words?" the East Mountain Prefecture Master asked, channeling a strand of mana and said solemnly.

"I’ve left a will already," the young man gasped, his face pale, a bitter smile on his face, "My mother is often ill, and the only one left at home is my little sister, just twelve years old, life will be hard for them after I’m gone..."

"The entire Prefecture City will take good care of your family," the East Mountain Prefecture Master said solemnly, "Before coming here, I had already informed the Supreme Commander of the Observatory, and he has agreed..."

"..."

The young man had no more voice left, his eyes closed, his life force spent.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master withdrew his mana, his face expressionless, as he looked forward and said, "Be careful not to let the evil Qi enter your body, especially those in the Qi Refinement Realm... Control your foreign True Qi well."

"Understood!"

The crowd responded in low voices, each tone laden with heaviness.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master remained silent, head lowered.

In his palm, a green tendril of flesh emerged, wriggling slightly.

Without any expression, he silently pierced his left hand into the palm of his right, brutally pulling out the writhing tentacle.

He removed the festering flesh at the base of his palm as well.

With mana activated, a flash of fire passed by, reducing it to ashes.

"Lord, there are six forks ahead," reported a sturdy Martial Artist, coming forward to speak in a low voice, "They only explored up to this point, now it’s our turn."

The East Mountain Prefecture Master nodded slightly.

Then the sturdy Martial Artist selected five youths from the Blood Refining Realm, each entering one of the six diverging paths.

After a while, two people returned.

But the remaining four, including the sturdy Martial Artist from the Inner Strength Realm, no longer made any sound.

"Two paths are viable, it’s time to split up and go in."

The East Mountain Prefecture Master turned his head and said, "Li Zhen, you lead a team and go down the left road, always remembering to use the Spirit Mirror!"

Li Zhen was at the Qi Refining Realm level, looking to be about fifty years old, and he smiled as he said, "Understood."

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Lin Yan felt a chill in his heart.

From the entrance of the pathway that the Martial Artist of the Inner Strength Realm had just entered, a sinister Qi suddenly rushed forth!

Boom!

The East Mountain Prefecture Master swiftly reacted, flames erupted, lunging forward.

The fire blazed like a dragon, but under the light, a burly figure emerged.

In an instant, the East Mountain Prefecture Master’s heart trembled, and he unconsciously slowed his Mana.

But the burly figure broke through the flames, burning with Flames, and pounced toward Li Zhen to the side!

Whoosh!

Suddenly an arrow flew past!

This single arrow pinned the burly figure against the rock wall!

The crowd then took a closer look and was horrified!

This was the Deputy Commander of the Prefecture City Sky Observation Department!

The Deputy Commander was ablaze from head to toe, yet endless black fur was still growing out of him.

His eyes were blood-red, he roared and howled, brimming with a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Yet Lin Yan’s arrow had ultimately cut short his vitality.

After struggling for a while, his eyes gradually dimmed, seeming somewhat calmer.

"Break!"

At that moment, Mr. Lu pressed his hands down, and Mana rushed forth, landing on the Deputy Commander’s forehead.

The next moment, the Deputy Commander’s eyes brightened momentarily, he opened his mouth, and blood gushed out.

"You and Elder Luo split up, so how did you end up here?"

Advancing forward, the East Mountain Prefecture Master couldn’t help but ask in a heavy tone, "What happened in front of the entrance to the Observatory?"

That the Deputy Commander would lose control was something everyone had already anticipated and did not find surprising.

After all, he wouldn’t have been able to last long in the outside world!

And once inside the Forbidden Land, even without accidents like the one that befell Elder Luo, it was inevitable that his loss of control would accelerate. It just hadn’t occurred to anyone that both Elder Luo and the Deputy Commander would lose their sanity so quickly!

"Outside the gate, there is a sinister creature..."

The Deputy Commander gritted his teeth, aware that the stream of Mana trying to save him couldn’t last for too long.

"It is not an ordinary Evil Spirit!"

"It took my Spirit Mirror, cutting off our retreat!"

"I charged into the gate and created a crack, but inside it was empty, not the place we were searching for!"

"To catch that intangible Evil Spirit, it knows the true path... It’s fast... must... capture... the net..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Deputy Commander already couldn’t maintain the last bit of his strength, which dissipated completely.

Mr. Lu’s stream of Mana was also exhausted.

And the atmosphere in the area fell into silence.

After a long pause, they heard the East Mountain Prefecture Master slowly say, "Among you, is there anyone skilled in capturing Evil Spirits? Who is willing to follow the way the Deputy Commander came from to go to the Observatory?"

The crowd exchanged glances.

Most of those who came into the Forbidden Land were Martial Artists.

And the ones skilled in unique techniques were largely left to guard the outside.

They could hope to slay Evil Spirits, relying on the blessings of the great Temple of the Eastern Mountain Prefectural City.

But when it came to the ability to capture Evil Spirits alive, there were very few among those present.

"Wu Chang, you go with Lin Lei!"

Mr. Lu slowly said, "Once you have caught that Evil Spirit, follow its trail back and meet up with us!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan frowned slightly.

The way that the Deputy Commander had come from should directly lead to the Observatory, not considered highly dangerous if followed in his footsteps.

And on their return, following the trail of Mr. Lu and the others... it meant that any dangers ahead would be first encountered by the East Mountain Prefecture Master and his group, at the cost of their own lives.

In this way, capturing the Evil Spirit seemed perilous but was actually safer.

"Return as soon as possible."

Mr. Lu spoke calmly, "I need to accompany the Lord, assisting him with the final sealing of the Forbidden Land!"
