The finger that Nie Tian pointed at the corpse's brow was mixed with a trace of the soul power of the seven broken stars in the sea of soul consciousness in his spiritual consciousness.
Through the penetration of that ray of soul power, he could sense the corpse's brain, and there were no traces of serious injuries.
Generally speaking, if the soul of the deceased is instantly defeated by a powerful spiritual magic and dies, the brain will be damaged and will not be so intact.
In Nie Tian's opinion, everything about that man's brain was normal, but his soul had long since dispersed.
He then concluded that the man's death was not due to a heavy blow from a powerful spiritual magic as Han Mu said.
Dong Li slightly squinted her eyes, and after Nie Tian made way, she also crouched down, imitating Nie Tian, and pointed at the man's eyebrows with her green and crystal-clear fingers.
It is a pity that there are no seven broken stars condensed in her soul consciousness sea.
All she can use is mental power, which cannot be mixed with soul power.
Soul power is a more wonderful soul energy than mental power. Even if Dong Li reaches the innate realm, without soul power, he still cannot penetrate into the subtleties of that person's mind like Nie Tian.
Like Han Mu, she didn't see anything unusual.
She quickly stopped and stood next to the body, looking at Nie Tian and Han Mu.
Han Mu smiled calmly and said, "Maybe Wu Tian is right."
"Why do you believe him? Instead of your own judgment?" Dong Li snorted.
"Well, he was able to escape our attacks repeatedly in the Sky Split. He is naturally unique in terms of soul perception." Han Mu said matter-of-factly.
the other side.
"Uncle Qiu, what do you think?" Qian Xin from the Alchemy Tower asked the person next to him who was in the early stages of the mortal realm after examining a corpse.
Qiu Liang did not answer immediately, but looked at Shen Shen.
Zhan Sheng said slowly and calmly: "Although we are accompanying you on this trip to the Dark Realm, everything is still dominated by you. The original poster also wants us to sharpen you more, and you will solve everything yourself. Why did these people die? I Of course I know, but I won’t tell you.”
"I understand." Qian Xin nodded.
Not long after, the scattered talents from the Baizhan Domain reunited.
They exchanged opinions with each other. Cao Qiushui, Gu Haofeng and Qian Xin came to the same conclusion as Han Mu. They all said that those people were instantly killed by powerful spiritual magic. The people who killed the Nether Palace must be extremely advanced. , and completely disdain to take the belongings of those people.
Because none of the storage rings and spiritual weapons in the deceased's hand were missing.
Only those with extremely advanced realms don’t care about the cultivation materials from the dead and have no interest in collecting them.
Dong Li stood with them and expressed Nie Tian's judgment - he died after being separated from his soul.
She finally believed Nie Tian.
Qin Yan looked surprised and said: "Lili, how did you see it?"
Dong Li did not answer, but glanced at Nie Tian from afar.
Qin Yan suddenly woke up, her beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance, and then she said: "Lili and I have the same judgment. These guys in the Netherworld died because their souls were forcibly removed. Their brains have no The traces of damage are not due to the impact of powerful spiritual magic."
While they were talking, Nie Tian was also listening.
When Qin Yan said this, Nie Tian also looked strange and couldn't help but look at her.
Although this woman has the highest level among the younger generation and has reached the late stage of the innate realm, she still has not transformed her spiritual power into soul power and has not entered the mortal realm.
If you are not in the mortal realm, you can only explore it with your spiritual consciousness. Logically speaking, you cannot penetrate into the subtleties.
But she came to the same conclusion as him, which made Nie Tian have to take a higher view and be secretly vigilant.
Cao Qiushui seemed to know Qin Yan's wonder and was the first to express his stance, "I trust your judgment."
"Haha." Qin Yan chuckled and said to Qian Xin of the Alchemy House: "Even if we didn't do it, these corpses still need to be disposed of cleanly to avoid being discovered by the strong men of the Ghost Mansion and suspecting us. We will focus on searching the area later to expose us."
Qian Xin nodded and gave instructions to someone from the Alchemy Tower.
The man took out a medicine bottle and sprinkled the dark green liquid on the chests of the corpses.
Wisps of green smoke drifted out from the corpses. After a while, the corpses were melted by the potion, and not even the bones were left.
The storage rings and spiritual weapons on them were picked up by people from Danlou and handed over to Dong Li, Cao Qiushui, Gu Haofeng and Qin Yan respectively.
Seeing several corpses turned into blood, Nie Tian felt a little numb.
"That thing is called Corpse Transformation Water, which is refined from the Alchemy Tower." Han Mu explained for him, "The dead person is just a pile of flesh after their spiritual power has dissipated. The Corpse Transformation Water can be easily dissolved. For living people , the effect of the zombie water is not that scary, you don’t need to be too nervous."
Nie Tian frowned: "Can dead people be easily dissolved by the corpse water?"
"No." Han Mu shook his head and continued: "There are some extremely powerful guys with flesh and blood who have specially tempered their bodies. Even after they die, there is still a lot of strength left in their flesh and bones. For this For humanoids, even corpse-turning water has no effect and cannot be corroded or dissolved."
Nie Tian nodded to express his understanding.
"Go back." Cao Qiushui waved.
The group of people, who were wary due to the mysterious death of the Nether Mansion Qi Master, quickly returned to the team.
Dong Li and others told their judgment to those in the clan who had no past in the mortal realm.
After hearing this, Dong Mingxuan's face turned slightly solemn and he said, "I hope it wasn't Xie Ming's fault."
"Xie Ming?" Dong Li was surprised.
Dong Mingxuan sighed, "Extracting the soul and transforming the soul into a ghost is rumored to be a method commonly used by Xie Ming."
"Evil tricks!" Dong Li became more and more horrified.
"As far as I know, the spiritual techniques practiced by those guys in the Ghost Mansion seem to have some connection with the Evil Underworld." Dong Mingxuan frowned deeply, "At the beginning, the Qi Refiners of the Ghost Mansion also discovered in the Dark Nether Realm. Several ruins of evil spirits. They obtained part of the soul secrets from them. Through their own knowledge and understanding, after improvement and evolution, they formed the unique spiritual secret of the Ghost Mansion."
"The Ghost Mansion has nothing to do with Xie Ming, right?" Dong Li said.
"It doesn't matter. After all, when the people from the Ghost Mansion came to the Dark Nether Realm, all the evil spirits were killed by the Broken Star Ancient Palace, and all the surviving ones fled the land of the falling stars." Dong Mingxuan explained, "They only obtained part of the magic spells of the evil spirits. , awakening from it a part suitable for the human race, and becoming their own Dharma."
"It is naturally unlikely that they have any contact with Xie Ming, otherwise they would have been eradicated by the major sects in the Land of Falling Stars."
"Everyone, be careful and keep going!" Cao Qiushui greeted.
For a while along the way, Nie Tian remained silent and low-key, and people gradually discovered several more batches of corpses.
Some of those corpses belonged to people from the Flame Temple, some belonged to the Ghost Mansion, and even more were from the Dark Underworld, and a few other weak Qi Refiner sects came from.
The corpses were exactly the same as the first ones they encountered. They all seemed to have had their souls removed and died.
The batches of corpses caused a shadow to linger in everyone's heart, and they gradually realized that this exploration of the evil ruins might lead to many changes.
A few days later.
Under the leadership of Cao Qiushui, everyone came to a huge canyon. As soon as they arrived at the mouth of the canyon, Nie Tian saw the ghost that Cao Qiushui mentioned.
Deep in the gray canyon, there is thin dark air floating. In the dark air, ghosts are wandering around, like guards patrolling.
Those ghosts were incorporeal, like gray clouds, powerful and vaguely human-like, but their faces were blurry and distorted.
Waves of strange energy fluctuations dissipated from their bodies, eerie and cold. When Nie Tian tried to perceive them with his spiritual consciousness, he suddenly felt a headache.
"The number of ghosts is several times greater than the last time I came here!" Cao Qiushui took one look and exclaimed: "What happened here during this time, and why did so many ghosts suddenly appear? "
"The new ghosts are the dead of the human race that we encountered before." Danlou said in a heavy and indifferent tone: "If there is no accident, those tragic dead on the road should be the work of evil spirits."
"Xie Ming!"
Like everyone else, Nie Tian's expression changed drastically due to the heavy words.
"Howling!"
A shrill scream came from the depths of the canyon. It sounded like the last scream of a person before death.
"There's someone inside!" Qian Xin exclaimed.
