Dantian has a little field

"No wonder cultivators never set foot on the battlefield easily. If such a strong murderous aura and death aura are all directed at one person, even a cultivator in the foundation-building stage will probably be shaken and his Tao heart will be greatly damaged!"

Compared with cultivators, ordinary soldiers are indeed like ants and not worth mentioning, but when the number of soldiers reaches a certain level, the murderous aura gathered is considerable. The murderous aura gathered by veterans of hundreds of battles can even break through the true essence of the cultivators and directly attack their Tao heart.

It is now night, and the fighting has temporarily stopped. The battlefield is still full of murderous aura. Isn't it even worse during the day?

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Xu pressed the sword light in the barracks of the government army, and after performing the [Water Hiding Technique], he touched the tent where the prisoners were held.

"The gods will punish you, your doom is not far away!"

"You are dead, the gods will punish you!"

There were only a few captives, all chained, with broken hands or feet, and even their teeth knocked out, probably to prevent them from committing suicide.

Although these captives were seriously injured and barely breathing, they still had a fanatical look on their faces, and they kept repeating words like "God, punishment, punishment", as if death was not scary to them at all, or they had completely lost the instinct of fear.

"Soul search!"

Lin Xu released the [Soul Search] technique on one of the captives. This is also a forbidden technique in the world of immortal cultivation. Although almost every cultivator can master it, very few people can use it, because the recipient will become a fool at best, and his soul will be scattered at worst.

However, Lin Xu did not feel guilty at this moment, because through [Soul Search], Lin Xu had confirmed his guess that these captives were indeed [Soul Capture Technique].

Once a person who has been hit by the [Soul-stealing Technique] dies, his spirit will quickly dissipate, which is no different from the soul being scattered. These captives will not live long, and sooner or later they will all end up with their souls being scattered.

Not only that, Lin Xu learned from the captives' soul memories that they were hit by the [Soul-stealing Technique] by several black-clothed "gods" who could fly and hide. There was only one thought in their minds, that is, to start a war, break through all the cities, and "baptize" the entire world with war and blood.

"Soul-stealing Technique is the evil technique of the Demon Sect, which has not appeared in the world for a long time. This time it appeared so blatantly, and it provoked war and started a war in the secular world. I'm afraid the purpose is not small!"

Lin Xu is now basically certain that those so-called black-clothed "gods" must be the disciples of the Demon Sect who have been hiding for many years. Since the Demon Sect was defeated by the five major immortal sects thousands of years ago, the remnants have been hiding under a pseudonym and have not appeared for thousands of years. This appearance must be a great conspiracy that may affect the entire world of immortal cultivation. Since Lin Xu has encountered it, he must investigate it clearly.

There is not much information about the disciples of the Demon Sect in the captive souls, and it is even more impossible to know the whereabouts of these people. Lin Xu decided to stay in Dangyang City for a few more days to find out the matter. If the Demon Sect really revived, he would send the news back to the Sword God Sect as soon as possible.

With the sword light, Lin Xu flew back to Dangyang City. In order to find out the truth, he needed to rely on the power of Yi Han and his son.

"Master Immortal, are you back?"

In the reception room, Yi Tianxing and Yi Han and his son saw Lin Xu suddenly appear in front of them. They were shocked at first, and then showed a look of surprise on their faces. As long as Lin Xu comes back, it will be fine, so that their "immortal fate" will be settled!

"Hmm!"

Lin Xu nodded lightly and sat down on the guest seat. The reaction of Yi Han and his son was already in his expectation.

"Master Immortal, how is the situation? Is it the evil magic of the Demon Sect that you mentioned?"

"Yes, it is indeed the evil magic of the Demon Sect. Things seem to be more troublesome than I thought!"

Lin Xu frowned slightly and looked up at Yi Han and his son: "In order to find out the truth, I will stay in Dangyang City for a few days. I am afraid I will have to trouble you two!"

"No trouble, no trouble! It is our honor to serve Master Immortal! Master Immortal, just give us your instructions if there is anything. We will definitely follow your instructions!"

Yi Tianxing's performance at this moment is not like the city lord who holds the power of life and death, but it is no wonder that secular people basically behave like this when facing the "Master Immortal" who is high above them in their eyes.

"Master Immortal, I have prepared a residence for you. Please stay in the mansion for the time being! I have ordered that the matter concerning you, Master Immortal, should not be spread outside. Please rest assured!"

Lin Xu was very satisfied with Yi Han's knowledge and interest. He knew very well what the father and son of the Yi family were trying to do. As long as the two could really help him, he would not mind giving them some benefits.

The residence that Yi Han arranged for Lin Xu was in the Tingshui Pavilion in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. The environment was quiet and it could be seen that he had put a lot of thought into it.

After sending the maid away, Lin Xu sat cross-legged on the soft couch and activated the [Xuantian Treasure Mirror]. After a day's journey, he had consumed a lot of his true energy and needed to replenish it.

In the next few days, Lin Xu searched for the whereabouts of the disciples of the Demon Sect on the battlefields within hundreds of miles of Dangyang City, but he found nothing. This made him a little confused. Could it be that he was overthinking and the Demon Sect did not revive, but only a few remnants were causing trouble?

"Young City Lord, please help me keep an eye on the people who have been in and out of Dangyang City recently, and see if there are any unfamiliar faces, especially those who look cold and icy!"

According to Lin Xu's estimation, if the disciples of the Demon Sect really had any ideas about Dangyang City, they would certainly send people to inquire about the situation in Dangyang City. The biggest difference between the people of the Demon Sect and other cultivators is that they always carry an uncontrollable cold murderous aura and deathly aura. Maybe they can get some useful information from Yi Han.

Yi Han was very quick and brought the information that Lin Xu needed within half a day. There were indeed four new faces in Dangyang City these days. They looked like merchants and their guards. The three guards were indeed in line with what Lin Xu said. They were full of a cold smell, making people feel uncomfortable when they approached.

That night, Lin Xu sneaked into the inn where the four people stayed and checked. As expected, the three guards were disguised as disciples of the Demon Sect, and the merchant who was the owner was put under the [Soul Capture Technique] and was completely a puppet.

"It's really a pain to find, but it's easy to find! I want to see what you want to do!"

The three disciples of the Demon Sect were not very skilled, only at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would not be so easy for him to track them without them noticing.

After patiently guarding the roof of the inn for a night, Lin Xu followed the three out of Dangyang City in stealth at dawn the next morning.

Disciples in the Qi Refining Stage cannot fly with swords, but they can use flying magic tools. After leaving Dangyang City, the three raised a small black flag, and a black cloud emerged from the small flag, enveloping the three and flying to the south.

Lin Xu followed them from a distance with a sword light, flying for two hours, and landed in the woods on a hill next to a battlefield.

At this moment, a fierce battle was going on on the plain at the foot of the mountain outside the woods. The two sides in the battle were naturally the official army of the Dashun Dynasty and the rebels who were hit by the [Soul-stealing Technique].

The murderous and deadly aura filled the sky above the battlefield, and broken limbs and arms were flying everywhere, and the thick bloody smell was diffused in the air.

"Why did these three people run to the battlefield? They are not just watching the battle, are they?"

Lin Xu hid his figure behind a big tree ten meters away from the three people and secretly observed.

One of them took out a black gourd from the storage bag and entered a few spells into it. The black gourd began to emit a faint black light. At the same time, the bloody aura on the battlefield rushed towards the gourd and was quickly sucked into it.

Lin Xu saw clearly that what was sucked into the black gourd was not only blood, but also countless ferocious and painful human-like smoke that was pulled out from the corpses scattered on the battlefield and sucked into the gourd together. This was clearly the souls of the soldiers from both sides who died in the battle!

As the souls and blood were sucked away, the bodies of the soldiers on the battlefield slowly shrank and weathered, but this scene was not noticed by the blood-thirsty soldiers on both sides. Perhaps they had noticed it, but they had no time to think about the reason.

"So they are collecting blood, souls, no wonder they are waging wars everywhere!"

Lin Xu suddenly realized that this was the purpose of the disciples of the Demon Sect using the [Soul-stealing Technique] to control the rioters and wage wars.

Thousands of years ago, the reason why the five major immortal sects united to destroy the Demon Sect was largely because the Demon Sect's skills were too vicious. In order to improve quickly, they often practiced with the souls and blood of others as a medium.

Although there are often fights and killings among immortal cultivators, only the people of the Demon Sect would kill a whole family simply to improve their cultivation, and even the secular mortals would not be spared. The existence of such a sect is a huge threat to the entire world of immortal cultivation, so the five major immortal sects will unite to wipe it out in one fell swoop.

"Brother, didn't Master tell us to stop for a while before collecting blood, spirit and soul? We are doing it secretly. If Master finds out, it will be troublesome!"

Seeing the blood, spirit and soul being sucked into the black gourd, another Demon Sect cultivator asked worriedly to the Demon Sect cultivator who took out the black gourd.

"You know shit! All the blood, spirit and soul we collected were handed over to Master. We don't have much left. If we don't do it secretly, when will we be able to collect enough blood, spirit and soul to refine the Blood Soul Pill? Do you still want to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

The Demon Sect cultivator holding the black gourd glared at the person who was speaking and cursed: "If you are afraid, leave by yourself, but you won't get the Blood Soul Pill!"
