Now, Yang Chen came to this divine soul detection area quietly without being noticed.

On the contrary, when he came to the location where the corpse was just now, he couldn’t find any trace of it. If it weren’t for his divine soul being sure that he hadn’t made a mistake, he would’ve thought that what he had perceived just now was an illusion.

“There are no traces of blood in the air, and no other smell. That person must have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of his existence…” Yang Chen whispered to himself, his finger slightly rubbing against his eyes.

The next moment, his eyes released a faint glow, revealing his Lingxi Divine Pupil technique.

With the Lingxi Divine Pupil activated and combined with the divine soul search, even the most hidden traces couldn’t escape Yang Chen’s detection.

“In this area, there are only normal residences inhabited by Ling Family members. The only suspicious house is the one with the heaviest restrictions.” Yang Chen said.

Generally, members of the same clan living together would set up some soundproof restrictions and the like, but deeper restrictions were unnecessary. However, this house had multiple layers of restrictions, which made it obvious that there was some crucial secret there that they didn’t want others to find out.

Yang Chen naturally wanted to search this house, but what bothered him was that these numerous layers of restrictions would undoubtedly be detected if he tried to sneak in rashly.

Although the means of prohibition could not be called clever, once they were broken, they would inevitably be discovered, forming a vicious cycle.

Even with Yang Chen’s wealth of knowledge, he couldn’t help but feel helpless at this point.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: “That’s right, this prohibition can guard against humans, but it shouldn’t be able to guard against insects.”

Yang Chen thought of this and showed a look of joy.

He thought of the Holy Ants, most of which were kept in his ancestral land and bred by the women of the Fishpeople Tribe. However, he still had some with him.

Although the prohibition could guard against humans, it was not without blind spots. Where there was a gap, humans could not pass through, but insects could easily get through.

“With my forbidden divine art, I can easily control the souls of the Holy Ants and achieve the effect of exploration.” Yang Chen manipulated a Holy Ant to quietly burrow into the ground, bypass the restrictions, and directly enter the heavily restricted room.

Despite the heavy restrictions, the Holy Ants were ubiquitous, and they quickly slipped into the room.

Under Yang Chen’s divine soul manipulation, a series of blurred voices were born in Yang Chen’s mind.

“Sure enough, the soul of the Holy Ant is too tiny. Even with my divine soul controlling it, the voice is very faint. But anyway, I can discern it.” Yang Chen whispered.

He concentrated and listened to the voices while observing the blurred images through the Holy Ant’s vision.

There were six people in the room.

These six people, surprisingly, were dressed in startling red clothes, with a skull on their clothes.

It was not difficult to judge that these six people were up to no good.

“Purgatory Gate!” Yang Chen was shocked and took a deep breath.

There were people from the Purgatory Gate actually staying within the Ling Family.

Could it be…

Was the Ling Family deliberately harboring the Purgatory Gate?

Yang Chen thought more and more that it might be possible. Otherwise, how could there be so many Purgatory Gate members in Long White City? It was as if they had taken this place as a peaceful environment to live in.

Of course, there were some things that he didn’t rush to judge and confirm, but he listened quietly to find out what these Purgatory Gate members wanted to do.

Overall, the strength of these Purgatory Gate members was not strong, with two at the Jinzun stage and one at the Spirit Plate stage. They were most likely some peripheral thugs.

It was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to observe carefully and see what was going on.

The Purgatory Gate disciples were surrounded by several corpses, and they were all holding the heads of these corpses, absorbing the blood that surged out of them and eventually merging with it.

Gradually, the Purgatory Gate disciples’ auras grew stronger, while the corpses became more and more shriveled.

One by one, those corpses were sucked dry until there was nothing left but bones. The disciples of the Purgatory Gate, on the other hand, gradually showed contented expressions.

“Today’s catch was quite good. These corpses absorbed enough to make up for my two years of hard cultivation,” a Jinzun stage Purgatory Gate disciple said with the corner of his mouth raised and a very happy tone.

“Hmph, don’t just think about cultivating. Just now, a curious man who doesn’t fear death dared to approach us. Luckily, I discovered him early and killed him on the spot. However, he managed to escape a short distance,” another Jinzun Purgatory Gate disciple said.

“Wang Chong, what are you afraid of? Even if our actions are exposed, the Ling Family Clan Leader and half of the Ling Family are nothing more than puppets of our Purgatory Gate. After all, they will support us. How could there still be people who don’t fear death every year? Even though their clan leader has already issued a strict ban order, there are still people daring to violate this place and seek death,” another person said.

Luo Ming sneered, “Wang Chong, what do you know? Although the Ling Family Clan Leader can cover us, it’s limited to the Ling Family. If we expose our actions to people outside the Ling Family, they won’t be able to protect us. And do you know that a group of outsiders came to the Ling Family today?”

“Oh? You mean the core disciple of Xuandao Sect?” Wang Chong scoffed.

“That’s right, this is a special situation. If our actions are exposed to their ears, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy for the Purgatory Gate to live comfortably in Long White City anymore,” Luo Ming said sharply.

Wang Chong laughed loudly, “Luo Ming, you’re overthinking it. The puppet we have in the Ling Family told us that this kid is nothing but a young noble. He’s only in the Spirit Plate stage as a core disciple, so it must be because of some shady background that he’s managed to climb up. Humph, what do we have to fear from such a character?”

“Fear may not be necessary, but what I’m worried about is startling the snake in the grass. You know, this could be a big fish. A core disciple of Xuandao Sect caught by us… Hahaha, I don’t know how the Purgatory Gate will reward us,” Luo Ming said coldly.

“Oh? That’s what you’re thinking about. Haha, we’re on the same wavelength. I’ve had that intention, too. I’ve also heard that Ling Xiu is going to be given to this kid as a bride. Humph, he’s getting a bargain for nothing. It’s a pity, though, he won’t have the chance to enjoy this blessing. I’ve always wanted to taste that little girl Ling Xiu, but unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance. Now I am going to seize this opportunity to get this woman,” Wang Chong said with a grim smile.
