The gray rabbit shrank back a little, still looking at the person who suddenly appeared with full vigilance. However, the person didn't seem to have an obvious murderous aura, so the simple-minded rabbit didn't turn around and run.
Its ears even pricked up, but soon, it felt that it should be further away from the dangerous human, so it retracted its head and prepared to turn around and run.
The moment it lowered its head, the two long ears of the gray rabbit suddenly moved. At that moment, the little animal seemed to have suddenly heard something. It was a somewhat sharp and mournful sound of the wind breaking through the air.
The gray rabbit jerked its head up, but it was too late. A chill like cold water enveloped it, and the last thing it saw was a cold and merciless black dagger piercing through the air. It didn't even make a sound as it easily pierced into the rabbit's chest.
The gray rabbit fell and fell into the grass. After a while, a trace of blood flowed out from the wild grass. Lu Chen walked over and squatted down beside the grass. He reached out and grabbed the dead rabbit from the grass. After taking a look, he reached out and pulled out the dagger.
The black dagger directly pierced the gray rabbit's chest, killing it in one blow.
Dark red blood flowed out as Lu Chen watched this scene silently. Suddenly, his body trembled. At that moment, his expression was extremely complicated and strange. There was both shock and astonishment, pleasant surprise, and comprehension. In the end, there was even a trace of disbelief and fear.
…
A subtle black spiritual power once again quietly seeped into his body and slowly swam in his meridians like a black phantom. In his Dantian's Sea of Qi, the dark Five Elements Divine Disk also surged, turning his Dantian into a dark world. At the center of this strange world was a small clump of slowly burning black flame.
The wisp of black spiritual power swam in the meridians of his whole body and finally quietly entered his dantian. Then, like a drop of water flowing into the sea, it was suddenly absorbed by an invisible force and directly integrated into the black flame.
The black flames shuddered, wavered, and then calmed down.
Nothing seemed to have changed.
However, Lu Chen knew that he could feel that there was a slight difference. Even if the change was so slight that it could be ignored, he could still feel that the black fire had become slightly stronger after absorbing the black spiritual power.
What exactly was that black spiritual power?
Lu Chen lowered his head to look at the dead rabbit, and his face suddenly became abnormally pale.
It had happened twice, in the Qingshui Stream at the foot of the mountain and in the wild grass of the tea mountain. That little fish and this grey rabbit did not seem to have any similarities, but in reality, they had something in common.
It was the moment of struggle before death. It was the moment when life was about to end and death was about to arrive. Lu Chen felt the terrifying black spirit force seep into his body.
This kind of power, this kind of spiritual force, it was unheard of. It wasn't within the five elements, it vaguely lingered between life and death.
It was like … the aura of death, necromancy energy?
…
Zhang Jiuping was 37 years old this year. He had a calm temperament and was serious in his work. He was born in the famous Tianluo Sect, and his cultivation was not bad. He was entrusted by the sect to work in Zhenxianmeng. After passing through several halls, he came to Fuyunji, which was under the control of Xue Ying, the beloved subordinate of Lord Tianlan, and became an inspector.
The Patrol Inspector was a good position, but it wasn't a good one at the same time. The good thing was that there wasn't too much fighting and killing. All they had to do was patrol the various places and contact some "shadows" who were extremely mysterious and secretive. Occasionally, they could earn some extra Spirit Stones. It was a safe and beneficial position. The reason why it wasn't a particularly good position was that the "shadows" under the Floating Clouds Bureau, other than those who had snuck into the bureau to scam for food and drinks, were mostly weird people and monsters with strange personalities. Furthermore, they had to patrol the place all year round.
Zhang Jiuping had been in this position for three years. In these three years, he had done a good job and almost never made any mistakes. Therefore, some big shots in Zhenxianmeng thought highly of him. They were planning to train him and promote him to do some more important things. He might even be in charge of an important position.
However, in this life, luck was very mysterious and hard to predict. Just when he was about to make a name for himself after lying dormant for many years, something happened to Zhang Jiuping.
Without any signs or clues, this outstanding inspector in Fuyunji in Zhenxianmeng died in the depths of an inconspicuous alley in Vermilion Bird Street in the north of the immortal city.
He died miserably. His body was stained with blood. When his body was found, it was quickly moved back to Fuyunji. Then, it could be roughly determined that the murderer should be from the Divine Sect of the Three Realms. This was because the murderer used a unique skill of the Divine Sect of the Three Realms. In addition, Zhang Jiuping's body was covered with wounds, but they were not caused by a fierce battle. According to some special people in Zhenxianmeng who came to see him, it might be a method of torture.
It was hard to imagine who would dare to do such a cruel thing to the people of Zhenxianmeng, which had gathered tens of thousands of cultivation sects in the world. But if it was the Divine Sect of the Three Realms, everything seemed to make sense.
What made the big shots in Zhenxianmeng even angrier was that this happened in the immortal city, right under the nose of Zhenxianmeng. From this, it could be seen how rampant the Divine Sect of the Three Realms, which had been hidden for many years, suddenly became.
All kinds of orders and investigations were sent out from Zhenxianmeng. The atmosphere in the huge immortal city was a little tense. And in Fuyunji, the atmosphere was even more tense and gloomy.
Old Liu came out of the room where the body was placed. There were already many people standing outside the room, almost all of them were from Fuyunji. There were people from Fuyunji who were familiar with him who came over to ask. He took a deep breath, his face was very ugly, but he did not say anything. He just shook his head silently. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Very tragic."
The surrounding people became silent. After a while, someone started to curse a few times.
Old Liu sighed, looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "How did Old Zhang offend those lunatics from the Demonic Sect?"
Another person who was also a Fuyunji inspector snorted coldly and said, "Who knows, those lunatics can't be judged by common sense." Speaking till here, he paused for a while, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and said, "Old Zhang is usually not very flamboyant, he shouldn't have become enemies with the Demonic Sect. Unless … the Demonic Sect found him for something else? "
Old Liu raised his head, and just at the same time, the others also looked over here. They looked at each other, their faces changed slightly at the same time, and then said in unison, "Shadow!"
