Chapter 121: Yao Shen's Bewitching Betrayal, Dark Dawn The sky is full of stars and the moonlight is shining obliquely. The ground in the yard, which was overgrown with weeds, was as if it had been turned over, collapsed and cracked. There was a faint smell of blood coming from the deep well, which was frightening. The courtyard has been completely blocked off by the Golden and Silver Guards of the Evil Suppression Bureau who rushed here after hearing the news. The air was filled with the impetuous atmosphere after the fierce clash of different forces. It seemed dull and depressing, making everyone who came here feel heavy-hearted and guess the identity of the strong people fighting here. Inside the deep well, Zhuo Furong and Ye Weiling both had grim expressions on their faces. They were even a little wary and kept a distance from Chu Ge. The two of them stared at the ground. There, Zhang Anxin was lying in a pool of blood, part of his body had been hammered into mud, and bone fragments were mixed with flesh and blood, it was a horrifying sight. Even part of the flesh and blood of the corpse was still wriggling and twitching, which brought greater stimulation to Zhuo Furong and Ye Weiling.

The strong have strong confidence and composure because they are strong enough. But if there is a ruthless person next to them who can kill them at any time, this confidence and composure will naturally no longer exist. Instead, there was a chilling fear and caution. "Don't be nervous, the two of you. I have already explained the specific situation. Zhang Anxin finally explained that he is an outer sect elder of the Shenyi Sect. The blood-colored badge on his body should be enough to explain his identity." "The elder from the outer sect of the Divine Sect." Zhuo Furong was silent for a while, his eyes fell on the bloody plaque next to Zhang Anxin's body. Make him believe that this Zhang Zhang, with whom he has been working for seven or eight years, is the outer sect elder of the Shenyi Sect who has disappeared from the world for a long time. He would rather believe that the Deputy Chief Chu, who had just arrived and killed his boss, was the vicious and evil demon from the Demon Sect. However, given the current situation, he had to be cautious. At this time, Ye Weiling carefully picked up the blood card on the ground and checked it. When the blood card was turned over, there were two strange hieroglyphs and a strange head wearing a mask engraved on the back. "The cloud seal of the previous dynasty, this is. God. Zhang." Ye Weiling's expression changed slightly and she handed the blood card to Zhuo Furong. After checking, Zhuo Furong's expression changed and he gradually began to believe it. Because this blood card doesn't seem to be made temporarily, and it even seems to contain a kind of strange power fluctuation that makes people want to find out. According to the investigation of the Exorcism Bureau in the past, the disciples of Shenyi Sect did use the cloud seal of the previous dynasty Dayun as the inscriptions within the sect. It is rumored that the leader of the sect, Shenyi Yaojun, was a wandering prince of the previous dynasty who escaped the disaster when the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed Yun. Chu Ge said, "This secret passage should have been dug by their Divine Sect. It seems to lead to many places and is connected to my mansion. Previously, two of the masters of concentration who were suspected to be from the Shenyi Sect entered my mansion through the secret passage.

This kind of project doesn't seem to have appeared recently, it should have been around for many years, don't you two have any awareness of it?" Zhuo Furong and Ye Weiling's faces changed when they heard this, and they immediately denied it and distanced themselves from the matter. "Deputy Director, I really didn't notice this. When I came to Yunying City to serve as a worshiper, Director Zhang had already been in office for six years. During this period, I never noticed any movement underground." "I have only been here as a priest for four years, and I also didn't notice it." Chu Ge nodded and said, "The Divine Sect loves to kidnap and abduct geniuses. Have you ever heard of any martial arts geniuses going missing in the surrounding area? Even within the Evil Suppression Division, is there a genius missing?" When these words were spoken, the two were stunned at first, then after thinking about it, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. "Hmm?" Chu Ge frowned. Zhuo Furong's face turned serious and he said, "Deputy Director Chu, to be honest, in the past few years, even in the few years before I came, there were records in the department that some martial arts geniuses had indeed disappeared." "Yes, among them, there are two missing martial arts geniuses from our Evil Suppression Division, both of whom have upper-middle spiritual qualifications." Ye Weiling added. Chu Ge smiled faintly, "It's been more than ten years! There are only two people in the Evil Suppression Bureau? This number is not worth it for the Divine Sect to dig tunnels and build a base here. Are there any geniuses who have been injured or killed in missions or have voluntarily retired?" Zhuo Furong and Ye Weiling's faces became even uglier as they realized a deep pit was gradually emerging in this. According to clan records, over the past decade or so, many geniuses have died in battle while on missions, and some have been seriously injured and retired. But the Evil Suppression Division has always had a high casualty rate. The casualty rate in Yunying City was, at best, slightly higher than that in other cities, but it was not beyond an exaggerated level. But the geniuses in the Zhenxie Division are like this, what about the other small towns in the surrounding areas that are under the jurisdiction of the Yunying Town Zhenxie Division? At this point, both Zhuo and Ye believed 80% of what Chu Ge said. Such a huge underground project, coupled with the disappearance of martial arts geniuses in the past, cannot be completed overnight. Zhang Anxin is the head of the Evil Bureau of Yunying Town. His authority is higher than that of the city lieutenant. He has been in control of Yunying City for more than ten years. How could he not have noticed any rumors? In fact, the reason why the two of them didn't hear any rumors was probably because they were deceived by Zhang Anxin. Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but sweat on their backs. They might even be charged with dereliction of duty. "Let's go down and take a look. I don't think this passage is built for decoration. Also, we must immediately send the Golden Sparrow Tiger Guards to Jiangcheng Mansion to notify the Chief of Ma!" Chu Ge gave an order, then suddenly paused and said, "Also, the city lieutenant Wang Yanpei must be controlled immediately. He has been in Yunying City for several years longer than Zhang Anxin." Zhuo Furong and Ye Weiling looked at each other, and Ye Weiling said, "I'll take care of this." At this moment, they were willing to believe the truth of the matter and accept Chu Ge's orders and pace of work. After Zhang Anxin's death, Chu Ge made such a great contribution again. The situation that will follow is foreseeable, and Chu Ge will most likely be promoted to the new chief.

If the two of them behave well now, perhaps they can make up for their mistakes and avoid the crime of dereliction of duty. Immediately, the three of them split into two groups. After a cup of tea. In the huge and spacious open space deep underground, Chu Ge and Zhuo Furong both looked at the cages placed in the open space with serious expressions. It's dark and damp here, and the air is filled with the smell of mold and rust. The water drops sliding down from the top of the rock wall hit the iron cage, making a tinkling sound. You can see that the cages are surrounded by iron fences with very small gaps between them. In the dim light, many young men, who were so thin that their bones were just skin and bones, were huddled in cages. It was impossible to tell whether they were men or women, and one could only vaguely see their weak faces under their messy hair, their eyes filled with fatigue and despair. The arrival of Chu Ge and the other man only caused a commotion among a few of them. Some people looked at the two of them with suspicion and fear, without saying a word, just observing cautiously. "Go ask about their situation and see if they are the geniuses who have disappeared or died around town recently." Chu Ge gave an order, Zhuo Furong nodded, and moved closer to inquire. Chu Ge turned around and looked at a stone platform shaped like an altar in the middle of the open space. But on the stone platform, there was a strange stone statue with four arms and four legs, and its legs were entangled with tree roots and vines, as if it had grown out of the ground. It wore a hat that looked like a corona, and its face was rough and blurry, but there were two green gems where its eyes should be. The surface of the stone statue was covered with dark brown marks, as if it had been smeared with blood and the blood had dried, giving it a strange aura. Chu Ge frowned and took out the blood card he got from Zhang Anxin to check it. The statue of god depicted on the blood plaque was exactly the same as the stone statue. Almost as he took out the blood card, he felt that the pair of emerald eyes of the stone statue opposite him seemed to come alive and stare at him. A clear and faint light rose from the densely intertwined tree roots and vines below the stone statue, and a faint spiritual power began to be released. Chu Ge was startled and retreated immediately. But as he retreated, the blood card in his hand released a special force that invaded his palm. In a daze, there seemed to be a voice echoing in his mind. Two green eyes seemed to come from across time and space, staring at him intently, full of temptation. In an instant, many images emerged in his mind. The picture seems to come from many different places. On an island, many people are worshiping similar stone statues. In a mountain, an old woman, like a priest, was dancing madly around a stone statue, gesticulating and shouting in an obscure dialect. There is also a magnificent hall where devout young people in white clothes sit, chanting something and staring ahead with fanatical eyes. A man wearing a golden robe and a crown was seen holding a golden knife. He cut the neck of one of the young men, and the hot blood immediately splashed onto the statue made of special metal.

A clear and faint light emanated from the statue, full of spiritual radiance, and enveloped another girl. In front of the girl, the light of a spirit-testing tripod quickly turned purple. Instantly, the frenzied atmosphere reached its peak. "Yao Shen." The bewitching voice once again rang in Chu Ge's mind. At this moment, he only felt a tingling sensation on the back of his spine, and his spiritual power seemed to be boiling. His perception of the strange power in the air around him seemed to be much clearer. "Pillar!" "Zhu Zi, wake up soon" At this moment, Xiao Qian behind the cloak suddenly extended her tentacles as an urgent warning. Chu Ge suddenly woke up and realized something was wrong. boom! —— He quickly used the Whale Devouring Spirit Technique to forcibly devour and control the strange power that had invaded his body. However, even if this strange power was controlled, it could not be forcibly expelled. However, Chu Ge didn't need to expel it. The next moment, he directly sacrificed this strange power into the Dragon Bell. Suddenly, all the bewitching images and sounds in my mind disappeared. The stone statue opposite trembled slightly, the clear spiritual light was still lingering, and two green eyes were staring at Chu Ge. Chu Ge quickly retreated and kept some distance. As the distance increased, the bright light covering the stone statue gradually dimmed. Chu Ge stopped and frowned as he looked at the blood card in his hand which had returned to calm. "This stone statue is the divine weapon Yaoshen of the Shenyi Sect." There was a look of fear in his eyes. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then reached out and patted his cloak. "Xiao Qian, thank you very much." "Hehe, Xiao Qian has done a great job. We're going to have a big dinner when we get home! Celebrate, celebrate!" Inside the cloak, Xiao Qian retracted her tentacles. "Deputy Director Chu, what's wrong?" Zhuo Furong noticed the commotion and rushed over to ask questions. Chu Ge frowned and warned, "Don't get close to the stone statue, it's weird and dangerous." Zhuo Furong looked at the stone statue in confusion, but did not see anything strange. But since Chu Ge said so, he didn't dare to approach rashly. The strength demonstrated by this deputy director is unquestionable.

Although his current strength level is comparable to his, it is expected that he will break through soon. Unlike him, he has been stuck at the bottleneck of the early stage of Condensation Realm for many years. “Deputy Director Chu, I have confirmed that many of the young men imprisoned here are geniuses who were recorded as missing or even dead in the sect files. Among them, Li Chenxi, according to records, reached the Bone Refining Stage in two and a half years, and was later found to have an upper-middle spiritual aptitude during an examination at the Evil Suppression Division." Zhuo Furong pointed to a tall young man who had been released from an iron cage. "It is recorded in the sect files that he disappeared on his way home two years ago. It is suspected that the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect took action and abducted him. I didn't expect that he would be trapped here." "This is the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect taking the blame again." Chu Ge looked at the thin but tall young man, and seemed to see his own shadow in a trance. The other person looked like he was only one or two years younger than him. He had cultivated to the blood exchange stage in two and a half years, although his spiritual aptitude was lower than that of Li Chenxi. But if he had actively demonstrated his extraordinary talent, he would have been quickly targeted by the magical sect and died prematurely. Fortunately, he had always been hiding his abilities before, but now that he has the strength, he can protect himself. "Genius is like a young lion, and often dies young." Chu Ge sighed. So, together with Zhuo Furong, they quickly released all the young men in the iron cage. This was the second time he had done this. The first time was in the Lin family’s manor, when a group of abducted boys and girls were released. And now there is another group of young talents here. At this moment, Chu Ge felt that the world was full of distortion and malice. Whether it is the Lin family’s magic weapon, the Sun and Moon Wheel, or the Shenyi Sect’s magic weapon, the Yaoshen. They all seem to like extracting spirituality from people to make themselves stronger, or to do more evil things. Humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth, and they are very weak before they grow up. It seems that it is right that these divine soldiers are targeting people. Or maybe, the magic weapon is controlled by humans, and good and evil are determined by humans. Chu Ge thought of his own Long Zhong. If he kills people wantonly, Long Zhong will become an evil weapon. And he will embark on a path of being hostile to the world, slaughtering and sacrificing all living things. In the end, will he slaughter all the people and walk alone, or will he be devoured and destroyed by the people? Chu Ge shook his head inwardly and stopped thinking about it. There is a saint living in his heart.

He will not kill anyone unless they offend him. Good and evil are defined by man, he only defines himself. Soon, all the imprisoned youths were released. When looking at the night sky outside. Even though it was still dark. Many of the trapped young people were already in tears. Once you walk out of the cage, even if it is still dark outside, the darkness will not last forever. The darkest moment is the brightest moment, and dawn is not far away. Chu Ge looked at this group of talented young people and suddenly felt that Zhang Anxin's suicide was actually a great gift to him. These fifteen geniuses are all very talented. If they are trained in his company, they will become a very strong team in the future. (End of this chapter)
