“When their company was developing the mountain range, they accidentally dug up a small mountain peak. Immediately, black grievous energy emerged from it. At that time, after the workers working nearby inhaled that black grievous energy, they all became a group of delirious monsters…”
“They began to attack each other and even wanted to eat each other. The person in charge of the engineering team discovered the change on the mountain and hurriedly contacted the local government. The mayor of the Blazing Flame City brought a group of Scholars and Beast Tamers to the mountain range. He discovered that those workers had lost their senses and become low-level monsters. Helpless, he could only kill them all.”
“Gu Langfu called me because he hoped to invite me over to purify the spirits of the workers who were killed.” At this point, Lin Jiansheng emphasized, “Of course, he paid me, but I’m a kind person. I was willing to help Gu Langfu resolve his troubles out of compassion, not for those few taels of silver.”
Everyone was speechless.
They thought to themselves, “Lin Jiansheng is famous for loving money. Who would believe him?”
If the other party really only gave him a few taels of silver as compensation, would he have such an attitude?
Lin Jiansheng pretended not to understand their thoughts. He said, “That mountain range is next to the most famous Blazing Flame Mountain Range in the Blazing Realm Continent. It’s located in the northwest of the Blazing Flame Mountain Range, and it’s also called the Fire Spring Mountain Range. I arrived at the scene of the incident accompanied by Gu Lang and the others. As soon as I approached the mountain range, I discovered that the sky above the Fire Spring Mountain Range was filled with a black grievous energy that ordinary people could not see. That grievous energy was too powerful. I immediately determined that there was a powerful Beast Tamer’s vengeful spirit hidden under this mountain range.”
“Therefore, I activated Purifying Spirit Art on the Fire Spring Mountain Range. In the end, I discovered that all the grievous energy came from a cave by the cliff. I entered that cave with the mayor of the Blazing Flame City and discovered that there were five sharp swords with blood talismans drawn on them at the entrance of the cave. On the top of the cave, someone had drawn a complicated and strange black triangular array formation. Although I’m not a Beast Tamer, I have a deep understanding of the array formations that Beast Tamers learn. I could tell at a glance that someone had set up a Spirit Plundering Formation in that cave!”
When he heard the words “Spirit Plundering Formation”, Mo Xiao’s expression suddenly became serious. “…Spirit Plundering Formation…” He seemed to have thought of something, and his blue eyes looked gloomy. “Are you sure it’s the Spirit Plundering Formation?”
“I can’t be wrong.” Lin Jiansheng looked straight at Mo Xiao and explained proudly, “Although I’m not a Beast Tamer, I entered the Divine Realm Academy as the top scorer back then. My memory is top-notch. I can recite that array formation encyclopedia from scratch.”
Mo Xiao stopped questioning.
Mo Xiao trusted Lin Jiansheng’s memory.
Seeing that Mo Xiao had no more questions to ask, Lin Jiansheng continued, “Everyone here knows that the Spirit Plundering Formation is very evil. It will trap the dead in the array formation and deprive the dead of their spiritual power day after day. Only when the dead’s spiritual power is exhausted will it lose its effect. During the process of soul snatching, the corpse will remain in good condition. Only when the spiritual power in the dead’s body is stripped clean will it rot like an ordinary corpse.”
“Therefore, when the mayor of the Blazing Flame City and I barged into the cave and found the deceased, he looked like he had just died. The degree of decomposition of his corpse was not high. I carefully observed the deceased’s appearance and saw that he was wearing an ancient robe from hundreds of years ago. His black hair was disheveled and there was a jade pendant with the Dongfang family’s family badge hanging at his waist. I asked the mayor of the Blazing Flame City to contact Patriarch Dongfang and ask him to come over to identify him. As for what happened after that, everyone knows.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Xiagui nodded in time.
Dongfang Xiagui continued, “After I received the news from the Blazing Flame City’s mayor, I rushed to the Fire Spring Mountain Range with two older seniors from the clan. Coincidentally, the senior who accompanied us was my grandfather’s cousin. As soon as he saw the corpse, he recognized my great-grandfather.”
Dongfang Xiagui looked at Mo Xiao again. He said meaningfully, “According to that grandfather’s memories, my great-grandfather went to the Great World 600 years ago. On the day he set off, he and my grandfather even sent him off! He even met the Grand State Master in the Central Pagoda.”
“Mo Xiao!” Dongfang Xiagui suddenly slammed the table and called Mo Xiao by his name. He gritted his teeth and roared, “You were the one who invited my great-grandfather to the Great World. You were also the last person to see my great-grandfather! A person who should have gone to the Upper World with you was discovered to have died tragically in the cave and all his spiritual power was taken away!”
