CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 416: SEEING THROUGH

These eyes are filled with the desires of all beings. Just a moment of staring into them will cause one’s emotions to be affected by the ones seeping from them.

These red liquids clearly aren’t simple things. Falling into them is unlikely to lead to a good outcome.

Xie Huang’s face turned pale, biting his lip tightly, he cast a complicated glance at Xia Mian before turning to Sun Yang, "Where did you bring her from?"

Sun Yang’s face was a bit embarrassed; he feared that if he told Xie Huang how he invited Xia Mian, he might get killed...

"This is a long story. I’ll tell you once we’re out," Sun Yang said somewhat guiltily.

Although Xie Huang initially knew about Xia Mian’s existence, he disagreed with Sun Yang’s decision to secretly investigate her.

After all, talented people are proud. Knowing they’ve been monitored and investigated without being angry is rare, let alone joining you.

Don’t fool yourself!

"Hmm." Xie Huang responded without saying more.

Indeed, now was not the time for a chat.

The ground was covered in that red liquid, and the four people hovered in mid-air, their expressions heavy.

This abandoned amusement park was filled with oddities everywhere.

However, even now, they hadn’t caught the person truly controlling everything behind the scenes!

Xia Mian lightly gestured again, using more than fifty percent of her Taoist Skill this time. With the continuous movements of her fingers, a wave of scorching flames poured down like rain upon the red liquid.

The red liquid instantly seemed to meet its nemesis and began to retreat rapidly!

Xia Mian pursued relentlessly, driving a floating talisman to follow.

The red liquid quickly retreated to a haunted house.

Even though it was abandoned and had no power, the lights in front of the haunted house flickered on and off.

Xia Mian squinted, a gleam flashing in her eyes, "There resides the soul of the Heavenly Yin Body."

As Xia Mian’s words fell, a ghostly figure floated past the haunted house.

Upon seeing that ghostly figure, Xie Huang’s face changed, "It’s the first victim!"

However, now this victim is in soul body state.

"Give me back my eyes..." The ghostly figure’s eye sockets were hollow, bottomless, looking extremely eerie.

Xia Mian’s expression slightly shifted.

Not because she was scared of the ghostly figure, but because she thought that the means of creating the Yin Sha Land were excessively cruel!

The ghostly figure had its eyes gouged out, clothes tattered, and two ten-centimeter nails driven into its feet.

Because of these nails, the ghostly figure’s movement was restricted to a three-meter radius around the haunted house.

Xia Mian pursed her lips, this haunted house seemed to be the array core of the Yin Sha Land.

"Is there a way to restore some reason to this ghost, so it can cooperate with us and answer some questions?" Xie Huang raised his hand, stroking his chin, his gaze deep.

Sun Yang glanced at Xie Huang, opened his mouth but stayed silent.

Their director really did dare to think!

Questioning the killer from a ghost, aren’t you afraid the ghost would go berserk on the spot?

However, thinking about Xia Mian’s dazzling moves since entering the amusement park, Sun Yang couldn’t help but click his tongue lightly.

Seems like there’s no shortage of people with brain circuits similar to their director!

As soon as Xie Huang finished his words, Xia Mian had already stretched out her hand, gently tapping the ghostly figure, a surge of Spiritual Power poured from her fingertip into the ghost’s forehead.

Under the influence of Xia Mian’s Spiritual Energy, the ghost’s mind seemed to regain momentary clarity.

"Eyes... my eyes..." Even without eyes, the ghost showed a look of terror.

"Who harmed you?" Xia Mian asked softly, her voice seemingly enchanting.

"Who... who harmed me?" The ghost muttered, "I don’t know, I don’t know..."

The ghost got agitated, followed by its tattered clothes frantically fluttering in the wind, "No one may approach my place! Approach and die!"

As the ghost spoke agitatedly, the lights at the entrance of the haunted house suddenly brightened like daylight, blindingly bright.

Sun Yang’s expression was grave, Xie Huang full of worry.

This victim had not only been stripped of consciousness but also turned into the puppet of the person behind the Yin Sha Land...

"So cruel!" Xie Huang gritted his teeth, eyes radiating resolute light.

"I just don’t know what the person behind it is up to." Sun Yang sighed, his expression clouded with concern.

Xia Mian squinted tighter, setting aside Xie Huang and Sun Yang’s skills for now, these two were indeed filled with warrior spirit.

"Whatever the opponent intends to do, they mustn’t be allowed to succeed!" Xia Mian lowered her eyes, her expression cold.

If at first, Xia Mian thought the opponent couldn’t stir much trouble, now the opponent’s capabilities had refreshed her understanding.

Such methods weren’t something ordinary people from the Mystical World could master.

"Approach and die!" The ghost continued to mutter, while speaking, its body floated upwards.

The body began to inflate as if air-filled.

Xia Mian stepped back two steps, "Who harmed you?"

Xia Mian’s voice was gentle, like Buddhist sound entering the ear.

The ghost, initially inflating like a balloon, began to calm down.

Who harmed him?

In the blurry memory, fragmented images began to flash endlessly.

It was an old man shrouded in dark mist, he could tell the person was elderly because of the hands exposed outside the cloak, wrinkled like old tree bark.

But he couldn’t recall what that person looked like, only that the man’s entire face was covered by a hood, veiled in dark mist.

At the same time, due to Xia Mian injecting a trace of Spiritual Power into the ghost’s brain, Xia Mian could perceive each of the flashing images in the ghost’s mind.

An old man shrouded entirely in dark mist.

This attire, she’d seen before.

In that ancient village, it was the Dead Cultivator who relied on absorbing Death Qi and souls to practice.

Xia Mian seemed to recall something.

The formation of the Yin Sha Land continuously attracts people with Heavenly Yin Body, enabling the Dead Cultivator to always have a sufficient supply of soul, Death Qi, and resentment...

Xia Mian’s face grew cold, the Mystical World actually had such a vicious means of cultivation, using ordinary people’s flesh and souls to pave the way!

"Dead Cultivator..." Xia Mian’s thin lips moved lightly, slowly uttering the words.

Upon hearing them, the ghost seemed to remember something, its body trembling violently, displaying extreme terror, "I don’t want it! I don’t want it! Spare me!"

"Ah!!!" The ghost’s scream pierced the sky, tormenting the eardrums of the four.

Xia Mian furrowed her brow, if before was merely speculation, now she’s almost sure, the one behind setting up this Yin Sha Land anonymously is none other than a Dead Cultivator from the Mystical World!
