Chapter 7: Night Detective
The Yokoyama family's mansion is already heavily guarded in Dongying. Samurai patrolled day and night. Although many of the so-called samurai are ordinary body refiners who don't even have a fighting spirit, the family guards of more than 100 people are still a very amazing force in Dongying. In particular, the captain of each team is a true samurai with a fighting spirit.
However, this kind of defense force, which is very good in Dongying, is useless for Night Frost and Lei Sibing!
After cultivating the secretary of the Heart Family for a month, Ye Hanshuang's spiritual power has made extremely long-term progress. Although the spiritual power dust in the spiritual sea had only absorbed a small part, it still made the strength and acuity of Night Frost's spiritual power reach an unimaginable level. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now a saint-level magician, and when it comes to spiritual power alone, it may not be much stronger than Night Frost! Not to mention anything else, Night Frost can barely use his spiritual power to communicate with people and perceive the thoughts of people who are not very strong in spiritual defense. Night Frost estimates that at the current rate, at most two or three years, or as little as one year, he can absorb all the spiritual power dust in the spiritual sea. At that time, how strong the spiritual power will be, the night frost is simply unimaginable!
With a strong spiritual power, it is naturally impossible to just be an ornament.,Recently, I've been studying the memories from the ghost lord.,Learn spiritual magic from it.。 Not much progress has been made, but some of the simplest Celestial Thoughts have paid off. Even if you don't deliberately detect it, you can also perceive some information by relying on the other party's mental fluctuations. For example, when Yokoyama Shibei was talking to them, although his tone and expression were all flawless, his mental fluctuations were extremely violent, and Ye Hanshuang clearly noticed that the other party was lying!
So, why did Yokoyama Shibei lie? Ye Hanshuang didn't know for the time being, but with his relationship with Shi Yitang, it was naturally impossible to let Shi Yitang have something dangerous to happen. So, after taking a turn in Furong City and confirming that there were no spies from the Yokoyama family, Ye Hanshuang and Lei Sibing returned to the Yokoyama family's mansion again at night.
The five-meter-high wall can keep most of Dongying small, but it doesn't make any sense for Nightfrost and Thunder Soldiers. Sneaking in carefully, Night Frost opened his spiritual perception and began to explore the entire Yokoyama family mansion.
In view of the existence of Yokoyama Jubei, Night Frost did not dare to use the sensory magic of the wind system recklessly. Yokoyama Shibei has the title of a magician, and even if his magic cultivation is not as good as Night Frost, it is still easy to perceive the magic exploration. However, the exploration of spiritual power is much more hidden.
At this time, the night frost was already far beyond the spiritual power of the ordinary Great Magister, and if the spiritual power was unscrupulously opened, it could cover a small town. Although the scale of the Yokoyama family mansion is not small, it is not a problem. But if that's the case, you can perceive it with a little bit of spiritual power.
In order to avoid people from detecting, Night Frost can only be explored in a small area, and the spiritual power can only cover a radius of about one kilometer at a time. The speed is slow, but the advantage is that unless the opponent's mental power is close to that of Night Frost, or the kind of keen mental power that is extremely good at perception, it is difficult to detect.
Night Frost is known for its speed, and Lei Sibing, as a thunder cultivator, although he focuses more on eruption, it doesn't mean that his usual speed is slow. The mansion of the Yokoyama family is certainly not small, but under the footsteps of these two people, it has already turned around in half an hour.
"It's strange, I really didn't find Shi Yitang!" Ye Hanshuang was a little surprised, could it be that he was sensitive? After his mental power skyrocketed, he was extremely sensitive to mental fluctuations, as long as he was familiar with someone, he could easily recognize it. Unless he hasn't seen Lei Sibing for a long time, there are some changes in mental power fluctuations before further confirmation is needed. As for Shi Yitang, they have just met, and they will definitely not admit their mistake! But the two of them in the Hengshan family's mansion turned around, and they did not find Shi Yitang's spiritual power fluctuations!
However, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have discovered the Yokoyama Ten Guards! Not only was there no Yokoyama Ten Guards, but in the entire Yokoyama family's mansion, Night Frost didn't even find a single spiritual fluctuation that could reach the level of an ordinary high-level elemental user or above.
Normally, the link between elemental abilities and spiritual power is not particularly straightforward, but usually the spirits of each level are similar. Dongying's elemental cultivation system is a little different from Aegean's, but the ratio of spiritual power to elemental ability should be about the same.
Sensing the Hengshan Mansion, Night Hanshuang secretly pondered, since the Hengshan family has a Hengshan Ten Guards, to say that there is no decent character, Night Hanshuang is not particularly believable.
There's a problem! Nightfrost thinks there's a problem. Find a corner that is not easy to be noticed, and let Lei Sibing help him watch the guards of the night patrol around him. Then begin to quietly prepare for a higher level of exploration magic. It's a magic from the ghost lord's memories called 'Perception Enchantment'. Although the name has an enchantment in it, it is very different from the magic of the enchantment, and the only thing that can be linked is probably the coverage area.
This magic night frost is also unfamiliar, and it has been preparing for a long time before it quietly opens. Moments later, Nightfrost realized something was wrong. Underneath the Hengshan Mansion, there was an underground palace that was not inferior in size! And in the underground palace, Ye Hanshuang found that there were forty or fifty people whose spiritual power was comparable to the level of an Aegean high-level magician, and there were six or seven people who were even higher! Three of them were slightly stronger. Night Frost recognized two, one was slightly weaker, it was Yokoyama Shibei, and the other was outrageously strong, it was Shi Yitang. The last one is slightly stronger than Yokoyama Jubei, but it's very limited, that is, the middle and upper level of the Earth Fighter or the middle and lower level of the Magi.
Finding the direction, Night Frost carefully controlled the spiritual power, focusing on covering Shi Yitang in the underground palace. Immediately after that, Night Frost realized that something was wrong. Shi Yitang's mental power is very chaotic, strong is powerful, but this kind of astringency is very abnormal!
"Something is wrong!" Ye Hanshuang withdrew his spiritual power and whispered to Lei Sibing beside him: "There is a dungeon underneath, there should be an evil gate inside! There are quite a few people, and there may be a fight!"
"Yes!" Lei Sibing nodded quite excitedly, although he had behaved like a dog before, but in fact, he was very much like looking for a chance to try the newly obtained divine sword!
"Let's go!" Night Frost nodded, and found a small attic that was not at all conspicuous as she had previously explored. On the way here, he communicated with Lei Sibing, and the two of them got ready, and the night frost and wind flashed and broke the latch in the door. Two people rushed in, one by one into the house in an instant
Two guards put. Nightfrost still had time to turn over and catch the broken latch of the door so that it would not make a sound when it fell to the ground.
It was only two mid-level samurai-level guards, and they hadn't prepared before, and in the face of Night Frost and Lei Sibing, they didn't even have time to sound the alarm.
The attic is very small, with two couches in the center, which is the usual bed of the Toei Kingdom. Nightfrost flipped open one to reveal an entrance. The entrance is a downhill staircase, narrow enough for one person only. This person can't be too fat, and Night Frost estimates that if it is the brilliant boss Jin Fat, this aisle will be laborious. Well...... Looking at Lei Sibing who had to lower his head behind him, his height was also a little short.
The dungeon as a whole is like a big labyrinth, with twists and turns. The light inside is very dark, and there is no magic lamp lighting that is as common as Aegean in Toei. Even the Yokoyama family, which is already considered a wealthy family in Dongying, is mostly lit by candles. Night Frost and Lei Sibing followed the perception of their spiritual power and touched forward, avoiding several patrolling guards during the process. It seems that the Hengshan family attaches great importance to this underground palace, and in such a hidden situation, there are guards patrolling inside!
Soon, Night Frost came to the place where the spiritual power had been probed before.
Calculating the location, this is just the center of the underground palace. Nightfrost and Thunder Soldier hid behind a wall, quietly peeking inside. Behind the wall is a huge clearing, about 100 meters square. In the center is like an altar. Sixteen black-robed Dongying people knelt around the altar and depicted something around the altar. A dozen or so samurai armed with long, narrow straight swords patrolled back and forth. And on the altar, there were only six people at this time. Five are standing, one is lying, and the one lying down is Shi Yitang from the perspective of mental fluctuations!
There were five people standing, three of whom were middle-aged men wearing wide Toei aristocratic samurai uniforms, with swords at their waists. Although two of them are only about 1.7 meters tall and dressed more ordinary, they are very imposing, standing behind another man who is dressed more gorgeously. The other costume is slightly more exquisite, and the momentum is stronger than the two behind him, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of identity.
Night Frost estimated that in terms of elemental fluctuations, it should be similar to Aegean's Earth Fighter! The elemental fluctuations on the body are powerful and peculiar. It's the guy whose mental power is slightly stronger than that of Yokoyama Jubei that Night Frost felt before. Yokoyama Jubei and the three middle-aged samurai all stood respectfully behind him, listening to him whisper something in Toei.
In addition to these five people, Ye Hanshuang also felt that there was a mental fluctuation on the altar that was slightly weaker than that of Yokoyama Shibei, but he didn't see anyone, so he should have used some means to hide it. I vaguely felt like I was next to the middle-aged samurai who looked a little higher.
"What are they talking about?" Lei Sibing forced his voice into a line, and his voice sounded in Night Frost's ears. Although Night Frost's fighting strength is higher than Lei Sibing's, these fighting tips really can't be used, so he can't respond. He just shook his head and said he didn't know. But although I don't know, Night Frost knows that it's definitely not a good thing!
Because although it is not clear from this angle, it can probably be seen that Shi Yitang, who is lying in the center of the altar, is bound there. And Night Frost could also be faintly felt, carrying a magical artifact with elemental binding functions on each of her hands and feet. Because it's supposed to be a magic item like a magic ring. Moreover, Shi Yitang's mental fluctuations are very wrong! It should be the result of some special magic or some potion being given.
Just as Night Frost was pondering whether to do it directly or take another look, the sixteen men in black who were depicting something on the side of the altar seemed to have finished their work, got up and said a word to the man with the tall hat, and turned to leave.
The man in the tall hat said something, and Night Frost carefully talked about his spiritual power and sensed it. Because he was not very familiar with it, and he was afraid that the other party would find out, Ye Hanshuang did not dare to probe too strong spiritual power, and his perception was very limited. Probably that's pretty much it, let's prepare the final part.
The ten guards of Hengshan bowed, as if to receive orders, and walked to the side of Shi Yitang. Night Frost tried to take a look, and it seemed that something had been plucked from Shi Yitang's forehead. A moment later, Ye Hanshuang heard Shi Yitang's familiar voice, but at this time with an unconcealable anger: "Yokoyama Shibei, what are you doing, are you looking for death?"
