Mortal Mirror

The Divine Sword Manor began to shake continuously, naturally surprising everyone, who all looked towards the front. At that moment, many constables also ran out from inside the manor; these were the people who had come here yesterday to guard the place.

Everyone was bewildered, not knowing what was happening, but fortunately, the shaking only lasted for a moment before stopping.

Bai Su waved her hand and said, "Let's go, we'll go inside and see what thing is trying to play tricks here."

Everyone slapped their horse's behind and headed forward. After a short while, they arrived at the manor's entrance. A head constable, seeing Bai Su arrive, was slightly surprised and quickly ran over.

Bai Su jumped off her horse, looked at the person in front of her, and asked, "Jiang Cheng, what's the situation here right now?"

It turned out this person was named Jiang Cheng, the head constable directly under Bai Su's command. Seeing his superior arrive, he quickly said, "This humble officer arrived here last night and has already sealed off all areas.

The superiors instructed us not to touch anything here; we can only wait and dare not act without authorization. Now that you, my lord, have arrived, it will be easier to handle."

Bai Su nodded slightly and said, "Didn't you find any useful clues? What was that tremor just now all about?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. This humble officer is also puzzled. The source of the tremor should be beneath the Divine Sword Manor's plaza."

A glint flashed in Bai Su's eyes, and without saying anything more, she had Jiang Cheng lead the way forward.

On the way, Bai Su mentioned the matter of demonic energy, but Jiang Cheng said that they hadn't found any demons at all, and he didn't know why it was like this.

When everyone arrived at the plaza, they saw that the corpses from inside the Divine Sword Manor had been carried out. More than five hundred lives, each with a tragic death.

Their common characteristic was that they were all emaciated, their flesh and blood sucked dry. Many had scratches all over their bodies, and their bodies were tattered. The Divine Sword Manor's owner, Tie Wushen, was even more miserable, actually torn into several pieces, barely pieced together into a human shape.

Seeing this scene, everyone sighed; this guy's death was truly too tragic.

Li Ergou, seeing the ground full of corpses, didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he had seen too many dead people in the past few years, but seeing so many corpses laid out in front of him at once was still somewhat shocking.

He didn't understand what kind of fellow was so brutal. Could it really be a demon, or someone behind the demon?

Bai Su stepped forward and, with a grab towards the corpses in front of her, pulled out a ball of green light from above the bodies. She used some unknown method, and the light transformed continuously, eventually turning into a hideous toad.

The most unique thing was that this toad was blood-red all over, covered in large bumps, and had a horn growing on its head. Seeing this thing, everyone couldn't help but be alarmed, saying, "Good heavens, it's that thing."

Li Ergou was completely bewildered, not knowing what this thing was.

Then he heard Chen Bajin say, "Nether Spring Sky Toad, this thing is a powerful creature on the Poison Insect List. How could it appear in this backwater of ours? This is too strange."

A cold light appeared in Bai Su's eyes, but she said, "This thing is a demon; it couldn't have appeared here out of nowhere. Someone must have brought it here, but the purpose is still unknown.

It seems that this Divine Sword Manor may have offended some powerful figure, or perhaps obtained something extraordinary, otherwise, they wouldn't have been treated with such methods.

Search carefully to see if there are any survivors. That demon hasn't left, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a large amount of demonic energy appearing. Everyone must be careful; if you discover a demon, report it quickly."

Everyone took orders and began to search separately.

Chen Bajin and Li Ergou were together. On the way, Li Ergou asked what kind of powerful demon this Nether Spring Sky Toad was.

Chen Bajin sighed and said, "This thing has a big background. If it really is this thing, then this matter will be escalated to another level. The Nether Spring Sky Toad is rumored to be born in the Nether Spring, living by devouring essence, blood, and remnant souls. It is a truly fierce thing.

This guy can spew Nether Spring power, instantly turning people into bloodthirsty monsters. It can also spit out blood blades, which are extremely sharp, indestructible, and can break through anything."

Li Ergou was slightly shocked in his heart. He didn't expect this thing to be so domineering. It seemed he should quickly complete the mission for the Candle Dragon Sect and then retreat.

He didn't want to stay here and risk his life; after all, his own dog life was important.

He thought for a moment and said, "I heard that this Divine Sword Manor is famous for forging swords. Let's go take a look at their armory to see if we can gain anything, so we won't have come for nothing."

Chen Bajin chuckled and said, "Ergou, we truly think alike! I was just thinking the same thing. When the time comes, we'll just grab something and make this trip worthwhile."

The two colluded with each other, smiled at each other, and everything was understood without words.

The Divine Sword Manor was very large, but with Chen Bajin around, nothing was a problem. Soon, the two found the Divine Sword Manor's armory.

Unexpectedly, Bai Su had already arranged for two head constables to guard this place with people. After all, everyone knew that the Divine Sword Manor's armory was the most important place.

People died, but it was okay as long as the things were still there.

The two constables guarding this place, one named Du Sheng and the other named Zhang Laojiu.

Seeing these two people, a light flashed in Chen Bajin's eyes, and he immediately greeted them, "Laojiu, Asheng, you two are having an easy time, being assigned here to guard the place. What a good job! Are you tired? Do you want me to guard it for you for a while?"

Zhang Laojiu curled his lips and said, "Brother Ba, don't think we don't know what you're thinking. Sorry, but Lord Bai Su has given a strict order that no one is allowed to enter without her warrant, otherwise, they'll be punished by law. We can't bear such a big responsibility."

Chen Bajin snorted and said, "Damn it, when we're eating, drinking, and having fun together, why don't you say that? Just you two wait; see if I'll bring you along for good things in the future."

Zhang Laojiu immediately chuckled and said, "Brother Ba, don't force us. We brothers have no choice. If it really doesn't work, you can go to Lord Bai Su and get a warrant, and we'll quickly let you in."

Chen Bajin spat and said, "Bullshit, if I had that ability, would I still be nagging with you two?"

He turned his head to look at Li Ergou, who was motionless, his eyes slightly narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking about in his heart.

At this moment, Li Ergou was looking at the armory, and countless divine senses were emanating from his body. They were enormous, but in an instant, they enveloped the entire armory.

You should know that Li Ergou's divine sense can now cover a distance of two thousand meters. For a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, this is simply terrifying.

Because such a degree of divine sense power can only be possessed upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

The power of divine sense was extremely powerful; they could converge together and condense into objects, or they could be as fine as dust and penetrate everywhere.

At this moment, under the cover of Li Ergou's divine sense, he finally found a tiny entrance, and countless divine senses surged into the armory along that entrance.
