Chapter 581 - Chapter 581: Chapter 242: A Probe_2 (2/2)

However, as soon as Lin Jing’s probe touched the Yun Family, he detected a person.

It was the Offering Priest Luo who had just been with Lin Jing and the others.

At this moment, Offering Priest Luo was conversing with the butler from before.

“Second Steward…”

“What is going on with Young Master Yun Long, wasn’t he supposed to be bringing over Li Qingqing?”

“How come after I brought Li Qingqing here, they immediately let them go?”

The butler began to speak:

“This was merely a test by the young master.”

Upon hearing this, Offering Priest Luo immediately said:

“The young master is being too cautious.”

“I’ve said before, that Lin Jing is definitely posing as someone else, he surely doesn’t have Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.”

At this point, Offering Priest Luo’s face was full of contempt:

“Given his performance today, surely the Second Steward also saw it, with the way he acted, he doesn’t resemble a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the least.”

“If he were truly a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he probably would have turned hostile on the spot.”

The Second Steward, with a calm expression on his face, straightforwardly said:

“This is the young master’s decision, there’s no need for you to worry about it.”

After listening, Offering Priest Luo was left speechless.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing decided not to continue eavesdropping any further.

Following that.

Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode to probe deeper into the Yun Family’s inner courtyard.

With such tight security in the Yun Family’s inner courtyard, there must be secrets unknown to the public.

Lin Jing, using the Observation Mode, arrived at the inner courtyard of the Yun Family and proceeded to investigate several courtyards in succession, finding nothing out of the ordinary.

However, after exploring these courtyards, Lin Jing raised the perspective of Observation Mode and noticed there was a courtyard within the deepest part of the inner courtyard, protected by a Formation.

Seeing this courtyard, Lin Jing immediately understood…

He must have found the target of his search.

Afterward, Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode to probe towards that courtyard.

At the entrance of this courtyard, there were two cultivators standing guard.

As Lin Jing probed through, a voice emerged from within the courtyard.

“Someone…”

Upon hearing this, the two cultivators immediately took out a Token from their bodies and stuck it onto the Formation.

Following that.

With a wave of ripples, the Formation became elusive, and then the two men, holding the Token, directly passed through the Formation and entered.

Lin Jing followed the two men inside as well.

Once inside the courtyard, Lin Jing saw a square hall in the center of this courtyard.

The entire hall was enveloped by the courtyard’s internal Formation, and atop this Formation, there were red, slightly eerie threads being funneled into the hall.

The doors to the hall were already open.

Inside the hall was a huge Formation, with a person sitting in the middle of it.

That person was Yun Long.

Apart from Yun Long, there was also a female cultivator lying motionless at one side, completely nude.

This female cultivator appeared to have gone through inhuman torture, as there wasn’t an inch of her body that was intact.

However, she was still alive, not dead yet.

Through Observation Mode, Lin Jing could even clearly see the slight movements of her eyelashes.

But after the two of them entered,

they directly produced a piece of black cloth and swiftly wrapped up the female cultivator with it.

Then.

They immediately lifted the wrapped woman and left.

After the two left, they carried the woman behind the grand hall.

Thereafter, the two took out the Token they had used before, performed a set of hand seals in the void, and then the Token emitted a bright light. After the bright light passed, a hole appeared instantly.

When the hole appeared, the two men frowned and then quickly removed the black cloth from the female cultivator’s body, lifted the woman they had just wrapped, and threw her into the hole.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Jing was very curious, so he controlled the Observation Mode to peer into the hole.

Following the hole inside, Lin Jing suddenly discovered that it led to a very large blood pool.

Inside the blood pool were numerous female cultivators’ corpses—how many, Lin Jing couldn’t tell…

But from what Lin Jing could see, there were at least dozens.

Some of these bodies were intact, while others were decomposed and looked extremely horrifying.

Above the blood pool was a Formation.

This Formation seemed to be constantly absorbing the malevolent energy from the blood pool, transferring it to somewhere else.

Lin Jing looked upward and then directly controlled the perspective to pass through that Formation.

Afterwards, he went through the blood pool below and appeared within the grand hall.

So it turned out that the blood pool was connected to the Formation inside the grand hall.

And the malevolent force accumulated in that blood pool was naturally supplied to the Formation within the grand hall.

Moreover.

At this time, the Formation inside the grand hall was flashing with red light, and Yun Long was sitting in the middle of the grand hall’s Formation, his eyes closed as he cultivated…
