"Chen Mo!"
"Mr. General!"
At that moment, everyone rushed over.
Seeing that Chen Mo was still alive and well, Li Yuan finally relaxed her tense heartstrings.
She walked up to Chen Mo and took a closer look, noticing that fresh flesh was growing over his exposed white bones and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"This healing ability is too exaggerated; it's practically like having an undying body!"
"And that strike that could conjure the Green Dragon phenomenon... It seems he was holding back after all. If it were truly a fight to the death, I fear I would've been a dead soul beneath his blade..."
Realizing the huge gap between them, Li Yuan felt no defeat but rather an inexplicable pride –
He's truly a man who can keep me under control!
Although she knew Chen Mo was out of danger, she still checked him meticulously.
After all, with such severe injuries, what if some part was missing...
"Hmm?"
As her gaze shifted downward, her pretty face turned beet red, and she quickly turned away.
She almost forgot; his clothes were completely burned off, leaving him stark naked...
How utterly embarrassing...
...
"Sir, are you really alright?"
Qin Shou was both shocked and overjoyed.
The other assistant officers couldn't help but show smiles on their faces.
It wasn't that they were worried that they wouldn't be able to explain themselves if Chen Mo died, but rather, the recent battle had deeply impressed them.
The scene of him cutting down demons amidst the bloodbath was still thrilling to think about!
Truly unmatched bravery!
"Don't worry, as long as I'm not dead, I'll stay alive."
Chen Mo pointed at the bed and said, "Check carefully, see what's underneath."
"Yes, sir."
Everyone responded.
They moved Qin Ruyan's corpse to the ground and lifted the bed board, revealing a decaying stench that greeted their noses.
Beneath the bed, bricks and stones had been hollowed out to form a large space. On the ground, strange symbols were drawn with fresh blood, and around it, seven peculiarly shaped stones were placed, covered in yellow talismans.
"Three Evil Spirits Extinguishing Spirit Array!"
Having been forcefully infused with the knowledge from ancient books, Chen Mo's understanding of formation paths was incomparable to before.
With a single glance, he identified it as a malevolent array!
Converging the power of Blood Evil, Earth Evil, and Fierce Evil: the Three Evils. If the array reached mastery, it could invert yin and yang and forbid reincarnation, turning hundreds of miles around into a ghostly realm!
Of course, the more powerful the array, the stricter the requirements.
The Three Evil Spirits Extinguishing Spirit Array before him had many errors, and the materials used were substandard, probably unable to unleash even a tenth of the original array's power.
"This place is where various veins of energy converge, and the gathering of evil energy makes it the most potent spot in Tongling County... The location choice of Liu Mansion was meticulous; it seems she's been planning this for a long time."
"Seven concubines as the Blood Evils, rearing ghostly creatures as the Fierce Evils, with the Three Evils united, the great array begins to form."
"As for the purpose..."
Chen Mo's eyes turned towards the center of the array, where a blood-red ceremonial flag pressed down with a copper coin of ebony, with a line of ancient black seal script flowing like dragons and dancing like phoenixes.
Just glancing at it sent chills down his spine.
Chen Mo reached out to pick up the ceremonial flag.
In a flash, a chilly wind howled, as if fierce ghosts were wailing in his ears!
"What is this thing?!"
Everyone's faces went pale with terror.
Those with weaker minds even collapsed to the ground, unable to stand!
[Heavenly Middle Grade Magical Treasure: Soul Summoning Banner (Forbidden).]
[Able to devour divine souls, control ghosts, already recognized an owner, unable to be used.]
"Magical treasure?"
"And a Heavenly Middle Grade one?!"
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood.
Qin Ruyan must have gotten the treasure from some powerful figure, intending to use the Power of Three Evils to break its seal and make it her own.
No wonder she stayed here every day, never leaving a single step, just to cover the aura of the Soul Summoning Banner.
To prevent the original owner from coming after her!
"This thing is useless to me."
"Holding it is a hot potato, yet it's a pity to throw away..."
