After walking into the Department of Internal Affairs, Yi Tian found that the surrounding environment was a bit strange. The temperature here was obviously much higher than the outside world. After opening the door of the main hall, they only felt a heat wave mixed with Demon Qi rushing towards them. The four of them were so scared that they immediately opened the protective cover and put up their spirit weapons to block in front of them.
After ten breaths, when the heat wave dissipated, Yi Tian opened his eyes and saw that the ceiling and floor of the hall were full of black and red Demon Marks. He walked forward and carefully scanned with his Divine Thought. His face changed greatly, "The spirit power above contains a large amount of fire element. There might be some fire element demon suppressed here."
"What strength do you think the demon is?" Hua Yulin asked nervously.
"I don't know. We can only take one step at a time," Yi Tian shook his head and said. After he reached out and touched the Demon Marks on the wall, a strange look flashed in his eyes. The Demon Qi in the Demon Marks seemed to be a bit impure. There seemed to be a little bit of energy contained in it.
This energy obviously had a repelling effect on the Demon Qi, but he didn't understand why there would be such a mixture of two corresponding energies. After leading everyone slowly around the hall, they came to the corridor of the back hall. The feeling here was even stranger than the front hall. Although the surroundings were full of Demon Qi, there was also a rotten smell mixed in.
This rotten smell was like the smell of a thousand-year-old corpse. In Yi Tian's memory, only the thousand-year-old female corpse Cui Zhenzhen in the lower realm had a similar smell. But in comparison, the age of this place was a little older. He thought to himself, "Could it be that there is a change caused by the decay of the demon's corpse after it was suppressed and died?"
After walking for a while, Cui Poria suddenly cried out, "If we go further in, we might encounter the corpse of an adult demon beast."
"Sister Poria, how can you be so sure?" Hua Yulin asked puzzledly.
"My spirit pet Jiaojiao is particularly sensitive to the aura of other demon beasts. Even the residual demon spirit power in the air can be clearly detected," Cui Poria replied.
"Take out your spirit pet and let me see," Hua Yulin came up and said.
"Alright." Cui Poria rolled her eyes at him. She flipped her hand and a pink spirit light appeared in her palm. After the halo dissipated, a three-inch Short-Eared Mouse appeared in front of the three of them.
Yi Tian immediately recognized that it was a mutated Treasure-Hunting Mouse, and a female one at that. Although this little thing's strength was not strong, it was born with the ability to foresee danger. It was curled up and only half of its head was exposed. Its whole body was trembling.
With the strength of this spiritual pet in the middle rank of the sixth rank, it must be a high-level monster beast that could make it feel threatened and tremble as if it was facing a great enemy. At least, it was much stronger than the double-headed snake that they had encountered on the street before.
At this moment, it was squeaking non-stop and pointing its little hand at the corridor in front of it. After Cui Fu Ling communicated with her spirit pet in private, her expression sank and she said, "Jiaojiao said that there is a powerful aura in the depths of the passage. She is unwilling to go there."
Yi Tian opened the map and looked at it. Then, he frowned and said, "This corridor leads directly to the archive room of the Department of Internal Affairs. The files needed for this mission are there."
"I think it's better to give up on this matter," Cui Poria replied decisively, "There must be high-level demons or demonic beasts in there. With our strength, it's really unwise to try to take advantage of the situation."
This time, even Hua Yulin agreed, "Yes, yes. Since entering the Department of Internal Affairs, I feel like someone is secretly watching us."
"Husband, I also have the same feeling. It seems like someone is watching our every move in the dark," Hua Yuxin stepped forward and pulled her sleeve and said with an uneasy expression.
"How about this, you three stop here and rest first. I'll go to the archive room to take a look," Yi Tian said lightly, "I found that something is calling there. It may be the source of the demon marks here."
Seeing that he was so determined, the three of them couldn't persuade him. Yi Tian then walked forward alone. He passed through the corridor and came to the front of the archive room. He saw that two thick iron doors were closed. However, there seemed to be some reddish-black spiritual energy seeping out from the gaps of the doors. Just by standing here, he could feel that the temperature was much higher than the outside world.
After gently pushing open the iron doors, a foul demon flame rushed out from inside. Yi Tian didn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly placed the dragon scale shield in front of him to block the demon flame that rushed up to him.
After the demon flame dissipated, Yi Tian stepped in. Immediately, he felt a strong dragon's aura that shocked him so much that he couldn't move. After secretly circulating his cultivation method, he removed the restraining force on his body. Then, he glanced around the hall and found a black demonic beast lying in the middle of the hall.
The beast's head was like a dragon's. Its eyes were closed and its body was like a dog's. However, upon closer inspection, it obviously had the bloodline of the dragon race. Its four limbs were shackled by chains as thick as a baby's arm.
He quickly compared the appearance of this beast with the appearance of the dragon race and its descendants in his mind. After a while, he blurted out in surprise, "Could it be Tao Wu? No, it should be a descendant with its bloodline. But isn't this kind of divine beast the guardian beast of the Buddhist sect? How could it be demonized into such a state? "
However, from the demonic aura fluctuations on its body, it should be a demonic beast comparable to the late-stage Doppelganger Realm. Yi Tian was shocked and secretly praised it. Such a demonic beast of the demon race could still retain such a powerful aura after being suppressed for more than eight thousand years. How powerful would it be when it was at its peak?
Then, he thought about how Master Jie Ding was originally a powerful figure of the Buddhist sect. This demonic beast was most likely a spiritual pet that he brought from the Thunder Light Zen Temple to the Devil Realm. However, he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.
Yi Tian scanned the cabinet behind him with his divine sense. He instantly locked onto the drawer on the top floor. The document that he needed to retrieve in this mission was there. A special restriction boundary had been set up here many years ago. Even when the demon race invaded, it couldn't be dismantled. These boundaries would only collapse after the spiritual power of the earth veins was exhausted. Therefore, if he wanted to retrieve the document, he only needed to use the token to open the boundary.
However, if he wanted to open the boundary, he would have to go through the Tao Wu demonic beast in front of him. Yi Tian immediately showed some reluctance on his face. After three breaths, he gritted his teeth and slowly tried to go around the archives room.
The Devil True Fire on the Tao Wu's body formed a boundary that protected it. He couldn't get within three feet of it at all.
After a while, Yi Tian carefully went around the back of the archives room to the drawer where the documents were stored. He took out the token and gently injected spiritual power into it to activate it. Then, he shone it at the boundary on the drawer on the wall.
After the enchantment restriction was broken, the drawer inside popped out, and a jade slip flew out from it. Yi Tian saw this and hurriedly flew forward to take the jade slip. He glanced at the words on the cover, "Spiritual Realm Anomaly Record."
Before he could be happy, he suddenly heard a low voice mixed with dragon's might, "You're not master. Why do you have master's aura on you?"
