118. Forbidden Realm
Wang Hu slowly calmed down, and at a glance, he saw a strange thing on the wrist of a corpse of one of his subordinates.
He'd seen them use this thing before. So he walked over quickly, trying to remove the thing from the corpse's arm.
Just as he touched that arm, a finger broke off and turned to powder on the ground! Immediately after that, starting from the fingers to the entire forearm, it gradually fell apart like powder, and the contents of the corpse's arm also fell into his hand.
"How can these people ......" Wang Hu was shocked and retreated.
"People who have been distorted by that kind of ability are like this, don't be afraid." The girl known as "Shizu" shook her head.
As she said, it was clear that this was not the first time she had seen such a situation.
"What's going on? This thing, these corpses, could it be that, that monster did it? β
The girl looked at him with strange eyes: "You are here, have you seen it?" β
Wang Hu nodded indifferently, a trace of imperceptible fear in his eyes.
He told his master about the things he had seen the obsidian disciples doing before.
And so it was! No wonder the artifact is in their hands, and rightfully so. These crazy people, aren't they afraid of setting themselves on fire, how can that be the power they can play with? β
"Master! Please be sure to tell me about this whole thing...... The truth, I, I want to avenge Old Man Su. After speaking, a murderous aura appeared on Wang Hu's face, and the giant man's eyes were also slightly red.
The girl groaned slightly, and finally nodded.
What she is about to say is the shocking secrets that the mysterious organization "Ispartine" has been forbidden to outsiders to know.
"Come here, this is not the place to speak, what I want to tell you is a secret of the organization, everyone else should stay away for the time being."
After she said this, she didn't look at the people behind her, and strode out proudly.
The 2 attendants and the 2 thugs followed from a distance.
They walked to a secluded place, a small, unmarked room on the map, where two guards stood and waited.
"Once upon a time, there were some alien beasts that had been sealed or sleeping on this land, and no one knows how long they were. No one knows how or when they were sealed. But those things that are documented have long since ceased to exist. β
"Maybe we can find a shadow of them in the ancient myths of mankind, and these things are probably regarded as legends and no one knows the truth. However, the Grand Elders and the High Priests in our 'Ispartine' should know more than I do. Those of the Obsidian Order were separated from our organization a long time ago because they had different views on these beasts, and it is enough for you to know that. β
"Many years ago, someone in this group of theirs stole our artifact to serve their purposes, as you must know."
Wang Hu slapped his thigh when he heard this: "Yes, that's true, I understand a little." I saw them using the artifact before, and I guessed, this artifact is the creation that can affect these strange beasts? That's what they're for, right? β
The girl nodded: "That's right, this thing has been handed down from a long time ago, and only cultivators can use it - ordinary cultivators can't do it, it must be a strong person whose ability has reached a certain level." β
"So...... The priestess was also a strong man. Wang Hu fell into thought.
"You've seen the bodies of those people, do you know what caused that?" The girl asked.
"Is it moisture? It's as if they've been incinerated inside their bodies! Wang Hu blurted out.
"That's right!" The girl nodded, "But the water was not devoured by these beasts, but a certain ability they were born with. The truth, even we haven't figured it out until now, and that ability may come from an unknown force in space. β
"What do you mean...... Are they alien beings? β
"It's hard to say, no matter where they came from or how they came about, no one knows. Even we don't know what was never recorded. However, they must have existed for more time than we know of all human history! β
"Shhh
"So, what is the matter with this strange beast here? Where did it come from and how did it get here? He was ...... by the Obsidian Society again."
"It all started decades ago, when our artifacts were stolen. Several elders immediately sent people from the organization to investigate the matter, but many years passed, and the matter remained unresolved until the mysterious disappearance of one of our priestesses. β
"Did we do it ourselves?!" Wang Hu was surprised, he had always thought that the priestess was from the Obsidian Society.
"Hmphβshe's the one we sent here to assist the Sand City royal family, who knows...... Alas. The girl sighed and shook her head.
"So, how do we know that she has something to do with the theft of the artifact?"
"Didn't your master tell you how your uncle died?"
"Ahh Uncle Shi, he, he was also killed by this demon girl because of tracking down the whereabouts of the artifact? I see. Wang Hu suddenly realized as if he had been enlightened.
"Actually, we had been suspicious for more than a decade, but because of her discreet secrecy, we couldn't find any leverage. But after your uncle's accident, her behavior in the Shacheng Palace completely made us suspect her. She actually set up the 'Forbidden Spirit Domain' outside the palace, which is an ability that only the Obsidian Society can master. β
Wang Hu's eyes widened, he had never heard of the "Forbidden Spirit Domain".
"Hmphβhaven't you seen that power just now?" The girl pouted, looking like a little girl.
"I've seen it? ...... just now, Wang Hu was overwhelmed by these words.
"You mean, that arm of Yin Tianhong?"
"Hmmm! You finally remember, why do you think that arm is like that? Is it a variation of nature? β
"However, I still don't understand how he ...... like that."
"As I said, that's something that only the Obsidian Society can master, but our organization has known about those 'forbidden powers' for a long time, which is the dark realm that we have abandoned, and they have managed to break through that taboo."
"That's right! I remembered that the master once warned us that there is a negative side to the use of qi. Just like the difference between light and shadow, the opposite image is reflected in a mirror. β
"Hmph-although your master has mediocre qualifications and has lived to an old age, he has never forgotten his roots, these words are still told to you early in the morning, and of course our 'Ispartine' also has corresponding ways to deal with it, and I can also tell you how the power feels...... For example, the 'Silence Bullet' in my spirit gun. β
"But, then, why didn't we do it sooner and eradicate that demon girl?"
