The city lord must be hiding some secrets. It is extremely mysterious. Everything in the Dark City comes from the Dark City Lord. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have changed to the current situation. If he didn't investigate carefully, Yi Tianxing would not be very reassured no matter what he said.
Even Yi Tianxing suspected that this Dark City must be a conspiracy.
He left the Wanfu Banner behind and walked out of the house.
Looking up, a dark cloud silently covered the moonlight, making the night even darker. The dark city in the dark night was so quiet that it was a bit scary. In the dark night, few people dared to go out.
The dangers hidden in the darkness are such that even a master like the Tiger King Wu Hai dare not go out easily.
Many people were killed silently in the dark, and even their bodies disappeared.
puff!!
A pitch-black dagger that did not reflect light in the dark night appeared silently and cut towards Yi Tianxing's neck. This knife did not even have a murderous aura. He was definitely a top assassin.
However, before the dagger could even hit him, he saw a flash of sword light in the darkness, and a head flew up into the air with a flash of blood. The body fell to the ground, but disappeared in the next second. It was collected into the pagoda very skillfully and turned into nutrients. The soul was suppressed in the Yin-Yang space.
This is not the first person to die under Yi Tianxing's sword.
Everyone thought that they could hide in the darkness and assassinate without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, they were facing a strong man like Yi Tianxing who had fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses. He had a strong body cultivation base and opened up a sea of consciousness and life orifices. He concentrated his mental power and could directly scan and explore the surrounding environment invisibly. The magical mental power made the assassins hiding around, no matter how strong their lurking ability was, they could not show their murderous intentions.
As long as you take action, the final result will be death.
Just now, five people died under Yi Tianxing's sword.
Moving forward quickly, they soon arrived outside the city lord's mansion.
This city lord's mansion is very huge and looks full of mystery. It seems that a layer of dark fog covers the entire mansion. According to reports, this layer of fog has appeared silently since the city lord arrived and entered, and has never dissipated. Then, no one was seen leaving, and someone was curious and lurked in.
But those who went in never came out again.
This has happened more than once or twice.
But the end result is the same.
This also turned the City Lord's Mansion into a restricted area. No one dared to approach it easily, and even if they saw it, they would take a detour. It was as if there was some terrible man-eating monster hidden inside.
"Interesting. Even the powerful vision naturally granted by my innate Yin-Yang Eyes cannot see through this layer of black fog. It is like looking at flowers in the fog, very hazy. The mental power detection can only be within the area of 10 meters nearby. This is not an ordinary fog. Once you enter, you will be lost in an instant. You can't find a way out. Once you enter, you will never be able to get out even if you die."
Yi Tianxing looked at the fog carefully, muttering to himself, and a vague idea arose in his mind.
It is possible that those who break into the City Lord's Mansion will be lost inside forever, unable to get out, and die completely in the fog, without anyone doing anything to them.
"It's so mysterious that I want to know what kind of secrets are hidden inside."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he took a step and walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is undefended. Anyone can enter and exit. Whether or not one can get out depends on one's luck.
Stepping into the City Lord's Mansion, the fog rolled around, blocking the view. Even with the innate ability of Yin-Yang eyes, one could only see the surrounding buildings very hazily, so hazy that it made one feel like seeing flowers in the fog.
"Innate Yin-Yang Eyes!!"
Yi Tianxing's mind moved, and he pushed the power of his innate Yin-Yang eyes to the extreme. Two rays of light, one black and one white, kept alternating in his eyes. Suddenly, the things in his pupils changed all of a sudden.
All the scenery turned black and white in an instant. In black and white, even the fog in the dark could not block the sight. It was as if the fog was disintegrated. This was the change of the innate Yin-Yang eyes at their extreme. In the sight, everything was black and white. It was either black or white.
Everything is clear and obvious, and all illusions are clear.
At this moment, the fog could not block the view.
"What a huge City Lord's Mansion, with so many bones. These should be people who rushed in rashly but couldn't find a way out and eventually died here. With so many bones, I really don't know how many people were secretly exploring the City Lord's Mansion."
Under the innate Yin-Yang eyes, Yi Tianxing's vision was no longer blocked and he could easily see the scene around him.
Right at his feet, he could see a skeleton, with all the flesh and blood gone, and only a pile of bones left after decay. In his hand, he could be seen holding a long knife, and there were no signs of fighting. The most likely possibility was that he starved to death, but there were other possibilities, such as the fog around him.
"This fog can cause hallucinations. It's like being in endless darkness. It never ends."
After Yi Tianxing observed carefully, an idea came to his mind.
Then he walked forward step by step.
The hallucinations of the mist had no effect on him. As he walked, he looked at the corpses around him. He thought about it and decided not to waste them. He waved his hand and sent them into the pagoda. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. It is too creepy to leave these corpses here. Moreover, these corpses also have their wealth left in their lifetime. Although not much, some are placed in the storage bag. There is no time to check them, so I will collect them all first.
brush!!
Suddenly, a chill came from behind.
"Little devil, you're looking for death!!"
Yi Tianxing's reaction was amazing. He took a wrong step and dodged to the side. A black shadow rushed over from where he was standing. Looking closely, it was an illusory figure shrouded in black air. Wherever it went, the temperature in the air dropped suddenly. It floated silently and was cold and terrifying. The aura it exuded was so strong that once someone in the Divine Sea Realm was targeted by it, they would be killed on the spot.
But after failing to kill the shadow, he immediately saw a black and white chain appear in an instant, binding the shadow at inhuman speed.
ah!!
A sharp whistle came out of the black shadow, shrill and piercing, shaking the mind. A layer of white light bloomed on the Yin-Yang Lock, and as the white light flickered, the cry became even more shrill, just like a snowflake hitting the sun. The black air on the body dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, making a strange "chi chi" sound. This was the destructive power of the extreme yang force on ghosts and monsters.
Like a nemesis.
"They have no consciousness, only instinct. They should be the souls of those who died here before. They are still unable to leave the fog. Under the power of the fog, they have turned into ghosts and evil spirits. They instinctively attack those who enter the fog and get close to them."
After observing carefully, Yi Tianxing shook his head and took the ghost into his Yin-Yang eyes.
The mind has been completely lost, and it is impossible to get any information.
Snap!!
Walking step by step in the darkness.
Front yard, back yard, garden.
Buildings flashed before his eyes one after another. Yi Tianxing also entered some rooms and found that no one had lived there for a long time. They were covered with dust. Even the quilts were moldy. There was nothing valuable left.
"No one has lived here for a long time. There is not even any trace of human activity. So, does the legendary Dark City Lord really exist?"
A layer of doubt emerged in Yi Tianxing's mind.
Vaguely, there is a fog covering the truth.
There were no flowers in the garden, they were all withered and dead, and the water in the rockery pool was mostly dry. There was no sign of life.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the quiet room in the City Lord's Mansion.
When I opened it, I found that it was called a quiet room, but it was actually similar to a study.
Inside, there are several bookshelves, on which are placed exquisite ancient books.
"The Chronicles of the Dark City, the Autobiography of Li Xuanqing, the Yunzhen Medicine Classic, and the Yunzhen Alchemy Notes. This really is a study room."
Yi Tianxing looked at the various books on the bookshelf. There were ordinary books, some autobiographies, some historical documents about the Dark City, some oddities and miscellaneous notes, and some other classics, such as pharmacopoeia, alchemy classics, and handwriting on alchemy. There were not many other substantial items. He only saw a cultivation method called "Shadow Blade Classic", which was a dark attributed cultivation method and combat skills. In fact, the cultivation was about the sword, and the true essence cultivated was not ordinary true essence, but shadow blade essence, which was very domineering and weird.
It should be a top-notch inherited martial art in the Dark City Lord's Mansion.
"There is a study, but there is no sign that anyone has stayed there. However, there are footprints here."
Although it was difficult to see the traces, under the accumulation of dust, one could still see some faint traces. In the black and white picture, there were faint footprints that had stayed in the room. It was because of these footprints that he found this place.
"The direction and number of footprints are wrong. They went straight to the bookshelf and disappeared. There was no trace of them returning or leaving. The whole person just disappeared like that. There must be a mystery here."
Yi Tianxing's gaze lingered on the footprints for a moment, and then he was certain that, under normal circumstances, the owner of the footprints had never left this quiet room.
There is a secret passage.
A thought naturally came to my mind.
He waved his hand and took away all the books on the bookshelf, ready to take them back and put them in the Sutra Library. No matter what book it was, it was valuable. If they stayed, there would be no accidents or mistakes.
brush!!
After a careful investigation, Yi Tianxing pushed on a bookshelf, and suddenly, the bookshelf was pushed aside, revealing a dark secret passage.
"Sure enough, there is a secret passage. They must have built a secret room underground."
Yi Tianxing's eyes narrowed as he looked at the staircase that curved downward, and a hint of anticipation rose in his heart.
This study is just a cover, the secret room below is the real quiet room. No matter whether it is hidden treasure or something concealed, it must be in the secret room.
