Chapter 294: Chapter 145: Twenty-Eight Constellations Celestial Demon Technique, Great Reincarnation Technique Upgrade_3
Lin Xuankong’s face showed a hint of nervousness as he heard this. "Did something happen to Steward Ma and Steward Han Lu?"
Zhao Yufei frowned deeply. "Steward Ma is fine, but Steward Han Lu, Yang Mountain, Deputy Steward Li Er, and some of your subordinates who were on duty at Warehouse One tonight were attacked. There are many dead. Steward Han, Deputy Steward Yang, Deputy Steward Li... they’ve all met with disaster!"
Lin Xuankong’s heart tightened with anxiety. "Something happened to Han Lu, Yang Mountain, and Li Er? What about Li Xiaohu and the others?"
Zhao Yufei looked a bit surprised. "Li Xiaohu?"
Lin Xuankong quickly walked outside. "When did this happen?"
Although I haven’t spent much time with Yang Mountain, Li Er, Han Lu, and the others, we fought side by side, and they were all sincere men! Especially Li Xiaohu. If it wasn’t for Little Hu back then, I might have been dead and buried a long time ago, never living to see this day!
Zhao Yufei swiftly followed him.
"Just now!" she said. "I came to you first after receiving the news. There should be a lot of people gathered at Warehouse One by now!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong dared not delay any longer. He leaped into the air, flying from rooftop to rooftop towards Warehouse One.
If it just happened... I hope I’m not too late!
My current Great Reincarnation Technique can retrieve the Divine Souls of those who died within one hundred breaths. If they haven’t been dead longer than that, there’s still a chance... If it’s past that time, these people will have lost their chance at reincarnation!
Anxious, Lin Xuankong crossed several miles in just a few breaths and arrived at Warehouse One.
When the Yin Talisman Sect members guarding the entrance to Warehouse One saw Lin Xuankong arrive and land behind the courtyard gate, they all bowed. Among them, the talkative Steward Lin Jiao approached him. "Steward Lin, you’ve come out of seclusion?"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly but didn’t speak, rushing directly into the warehouse.
The scene before him made his expression change. Near the main entrance of Warehouse One, more than twenty Yin Talisman Sect members lay sprawled on the ground. Steward Han Lu, Yang Mountain, Li Er, and Li Xiaohu were among them, all decapitated. Blood was everywhere, and they were utterly devoid of life.
"Xuankong, you’re here!" Ma Jiang, standing beside the numerous corpses, said, his face extremely grim.
Grand Chief Stewards Gao Yunchao and Wu Liangye, along with Chief Steward Jiang Yuran, also wore dark expressions.
Lin Xuankong nodded but didn’t speak. He immediately activated the Great Reincarnation Technique, directing it towards the corpses on the ground.
Unfortunately, what made his expression darken further was that as the Great Reincarnation Technique influenced one corpse after another, no Divine Souls appeared!
Ma Jiang, beside him, said, "The attacker was extremely ruthless. Not a single guard survived. Finding the culprit will be exceedingly difficult!"
Jiang Yuran, dressed in a moon-white long robe, had an icy expression.
"Nearly ten thousand portions of the Nine Revolutions Qi Replenishing Soup ingredients stored in Warehouse One were all stolen," she stated. "The culprits definitely have a Ghost Toad Pouch to store the supplies! To possess such a treasure and exhibit such formidable strength... in Great Marsh Prefecture City, only the Black Tiger Gang, the Guo Family, the Feng Family, or the Spirit Snake Gang could accomplish this and dare to challenge our Yin Talisman Sect.
Especially the Black Tiger Gang, the Guo Family, and the Feng Family. Their medicinal ingredients were stolen by a Conical Hat Guest last time, and they suffered greatly, still reeling from the loss. It seems highly probable they’re targeting our ingredients now!"
Ma Jiang clenched his fists and suddenly looked at Lin Xuankong.
"Xuankong, you previously caught the Flying Thief who stole from Warehouse Three. Do you have any confidence in finding the culprits this time? And more importantly, the evidence!"
Lin Xuankong nodded. "I’ll think of a way."
At that moment, his attention was already on the Celestial Demon Bone in his abdomen. In the next instant, a substantial amount of True Qi surged wildly into the Celestial Demon Bone.
[313,268/1,500,000]
[250,000/1,500,000]
In the blink of an eye, the True Qi in his Life Plate was reduced to only 3,268 points!
The Celestial Demon Bone within him flashed with a faint light.
[Tier Nine True Spirit Bone: Mastery Level: 32/10,000,000,000]
[Great Reincarnation Technique: Mastery Level: 32/10,000,000,000]
The Nurturing Level of the True Spirit Bone and the proficiency of the Great Reincarnation Technique had both increased by thirty-one points!
In Lin Xuankong’s perception, the diameter of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm had also expanded from 3,200 miles to 3,232 miles. Much of the fog had cleared, significantly increasing its area!
However, Lin Xuankong’s expression changed slightly. The Nurturing Level of the Celestial Demon Bone and the proficiency of the Great Reincarnation Technique increased, but each point consumed ten thousand points of True Qi!
No wonder the Liy Family spent over two centuries and countless resources nurturing that Tier One Celestial Demon Bone... It’s nearly impossible for ordinary Cultivators to convert and amass hundreds of thousands, even millions, of True Qi points!
Luckily, my Blood Eating Technique can convert Demon Flesh at a terrifying speed, and my Life Plate Talent allows me to store massive amounts of True Qi. As long as I have enough resources, I can progress thousands, even tens of thousands of times faster than other Cultivators. Otherwise, nurturing this Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone to completion would take an unknown amount of time!
After this realization, Lin Xuankong felt a flicker of hesitant hope. The time limit for his Great Reincarnation Technique had extended to one hundred thirty-one breaths. Can it save Han Lu, Yang Mountain, Li Er, and Li Xiaohu?
