The City Lord must be hiding some kind of unspeakable secret. Mysterious to the extreme. Everything in the Dark City came from the City Lord of the Dark City. If not for him, the current situation would not have changed. If he did not investigate carefully, Yi Tianxing would not be at ease no matter what.
Yi Tianxing even suspected that this Dark City was a conspiracy.
He left the Ten Thousand Runes Banner and walked out of the house.
Looking up at the sky, he saw a dark cloud silently blocking the moonlight. It made the night even darker. The Dark City in the night was so quiet that it was a little scary. In the dark, few dared to go out and walk.
Even an expert like Tiger King Wu Hai did not dare to go out easily because of the danger lurking in the dark.
Many people were killed silently in the dark, and in the end, even their corpses disappeared without a trace.
Poof!!
A pitch-black dagger that did not reflect light in the dark silently appeared and slashed toward Yi Tianxing's neck. One could not even feel the murderous aura from this slash. He was definitely a top-notch assassin.
However, before the dagger could fall on his body, he saw a flash of sword light in the dark. A head flew into the air, accompanied by blood. The corpse fell to the ground, but in the next second, it disappeared. It was swiftly put into the pagoda and turned into nutrients. The soul was suppressed in the Yin and Yang space.
This was not the first person to die under Yi Tianxing's sword.
They all thought that by hiding in the dark, they could ambush and assassinate without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, they were facing an expert like Yi Tianxing who had killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His body refinement cultivation was strong, and he had opened up his Sea of Consciousness and Life Aperture. He condensed his mental strength and could directly scan and investigate the surrounding environment. The magical nature of mental strength made it so that no matter how strong the hiding ability of the assassins was, no matter how hard they tried to conceal their killing intent.
As long as they made a move, the final result would be death.
Just now, five people had already died under Yi Tianxing's sword.
Moving forward quickly, he arrived outside the City Lord's residence in a short while.
The City Lord's Mansion was extremely huge, and it seemed to be filled with mystery. One could vaguely see a layer of pitch-black fog shrouding the entire mansion. According to their understanding, ever since the City Lord had arrived and entered, this layer of fog had appeared silently and had never dissipated. After that, no one had left, and some people had sneaked in out of curiosity.
But those who went in never came out again.
This was not the first time this had happened.
But the final result was the same.
This turned the City Lord's Mansion into a forbidden zone. No one dared to approach it. In fact, anyone who saw it would take a detour. It was as if a terrifying man-eating monster was hiding inside.
"Interesting. Even my Innate Yin-Yang Eye can't see through this black mist. It was like looking at flowers in a fog, very hazy. His spiritual power could only detect an area of less than ten meters around him. This was not an ordinary fog. Once they entered, they would instantly lose their sense of direction. If you can't find the way out, you won't be able to come out even if you die. "
Yi Tianxing looked carefully at the layer of fog and murmured to himself. A vague idea came to his mind.
It was possible that those who broke into the City Lord's Mansion would be lost in it forever without anyone doing anything to them. They would never be able to come out and die completely in the fog.
"It's so mysterious. I want to know what kind of secrets are hidden in here."
Yi Tian Xing took a deep breath. Without hesitation, he took a step forward and walked into the City Governor's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was unguarded. Anyone could enter and leave. However, whether or not one could come out depended on one's luck.
Stepping into the City Lord's Mansion, the surrounding fog was rolling, blocking his vision. With the ability of the Innate Yin-Yang Eye, he could only see the surrounding buildings. It was very hazy, so hazy that it made people feel like they were looking at flowers in the fog.
"Innate Yin-Yang Eye!!"
With a thought, Yi Tianxing pushed the power of the Innate Yin-Yang Eye to the extreme. One black and one white, two Shenguang lines, kept alternating in his eyes. Suddenly, the things in his eyes changed.
Everything turned black and white in an instant. Under the black and white, even the fog in the darkness couldn't block his vision. It was as if the fog was disintegrated. This was the change of the Innate Yin-Yang Eye to the extreme. In his vision, everything was black and white. If it wasn't black, then it was white.
Everything was clear, and he could see through all illusions.
At this moment, the fog couldn't block his vision.
"What a huge City Lord's Mansion. So many bones. These should be people who broke in but couldn't find the way out and died here. Piles of bones. I wonder how many people were secretly investigating the City Lord's Mansion. "
With the Innate Yin-Yang Eye, Yi Tianxing's vision was no longer blocked, and he could easily see the surroundings.
He could see a pile of bones by his feet. The flesh and blood had all disappeared, leaving only a pile of bones after rotting. In his hand, he could see a long saber. There were no signs of fighting. The most likely possibility was that he had starved to death. However, there were other possibilities, such as the surrounding fog.
"This fog can cause illusions. It's like being in endless darkness."
After Yi Tianxing observed carefully, an idea formed in his mind.
He then walked forward step by step.
The illusions of the fog had no effect on him. As he walked, he looked at the surrounding bones. Without thinking, he didn't want to waste them. He waved his hand and sent them into the pagoda. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. It was too horrifying to leave these bones here. Moreover, these corpses also had their wealth when they were alive. Although there wasn't much, some of them were in the storage bag. He didn't have time to check, so he put them all away first.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, a cold and gloomy aura came from behind.
"Brat, you're courting death!!"
Yi Tianxing's reaction was shocking. He took a step and dodged to the side. A black shadow pounced over from where he was standing. Looking closely, it was an illusory figure shrouded in black gas. Everywhere it went, the temperature of the air suddenly dropped. It floated silently, and it was terrifyingly cold. The aura it emitted could kill a Divine Sea Realm cultivator on the spot if they were targeted by it.
However, after the attack failed, a black and white chain instantly appeared, and with inhuman speed, it bound the black shadow.
Ah!!
A sharp scream came from the mouth of the black shadow. It was piercing and shook people's minds. The Yin Yang Locket emitted a layer of white light. In the white light, the scream became even more mournful. It was like snowflakes touching the sun. The black gas on its body dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, making strange 'chi chi' sounds. This was the destructive power of the power of extreme Yang against ghosts and spirits.
It was like the bane of ghosts and spirits.
"There is no consciousness, only instinct. It should be the souls of the people who died here before, unable to leave the mist. Under the power of the mist, they turned into malicious ghosts and instinctively attacked those who entered the mist and got close to them."
After careful observation, Yi Tianxing shook his head and took the ghost into his Yin Yang Eye.
Its consciousness had been completely lost. It was impossible to know anything.
Patter!!
He walked step by step in the darkness.
The front yard, the back yard, the garden.
Buildings flashed in front of him. Yi Tianxing entered some rooms and found that there were no signs of people living in them. They were covered in dust. Even the blankets were moldy. There was nothing valuable left.
"No one has lived here for a long time. There are no signs of human activity. Then, does the legendary Dark City Lord really exist?"
A layer of doubt appeared in Yi Tianxing's mind.
Vaguely, there was a fog shrouding the truth.
There were no flowers in the garden. They were all withered and the water in the pond had mostly dried up. There was no sign of life.
Unknowingly, he had arrived at the quiet room of the Dark City Lord's Mansion.
It was called a quiet room, but it was more like a study.
There were a few bookshelves inside. On the bookshelf, there were many exquisite ancient books.
"Dark City Records, Li Xuanqing's Autobiography, Cloudy True Medicine Scripture, Cloudy True Alchemy Notes. This is really a study. "
Yi Tianxing looked at the various books on the bookshelves. There were ordinary books, autobiographies, historical documents about Dark City. There were also some anecdotes, and so on. There were also some other books, such as medicine manuals, alchemy manuals, alchemy handwriting, and so on. There were not many other substantial items. He only saw a cultivation technique called the Dark Shadow Saber Scripture. It was a darkness-attributed cultivation technique. It even cultivated the Saber Dao. The Veritable Essence Energy produced was not ordinary Veritable Essence Energy, but Dark Shadow Saber Essence. It was extremely tyrannical and strange.
It should be a peak inherited cultivation technique of the Dark City Lord's Mansion.
"There is a study, but there are no traces of anyone staying here. However, there are footprints here. "
Although it was hard to see the footprints, he could still make out some faint traces under the accumulation of dust. Under the black and white scene, there were faint footprints in the room. He had found this place precisely because he saw these footprints.
"The direction and quantity of the footprints are wrong. They went straight for the bookshelves, but they disappeared. There are no traces of them returning or leaving. They just disappeared like that. There is a mystery behind this. "
Yi Tianxing's gaze paused on the footprints for a while. Then, he was sure that the owner of the footprints had not left this quiet room.
There was a secret passage.
A thought naturally appeared in Lin Fan's mind.
He waved his hand and collected all the books on the bookshelves. He was prepared to bring them back to the Sutra Depository. No matter what books they were, they were all valuable. There would not be any accidents or mistakes if they were left behind.
Whoosh!
After a careful examination, Yi Tianxing pushed a bookshelf. Immediately, the bookshelf was pushed to the side. It revealed a pitch-black secret passage.
"There is indeed a secret passage. There should be a secret room built underground."
Yi Tianxing's eyes narrowed as he looked at the curved staircase leading downwards. He was filled with anticipation.
