The body of Black Shadow trembled violently, but Chen Li's youthful voice was like that of a devil.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Wait a moment, and I guarantee that your body will be nothing but bones and skin, devoid of any flesh and blood. Just a slight movement, and you'll feel pain like a snake's bite!"
Black Shadow was instantly filled with immense fear, his eyes wide with terror. He trembled as he stuttered, "No! No, I mean, I... I destroyed the villagers of a village near the capital."
"What?!" Shen Qingyue's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "You destroyed an entire village?!"
Chen Li was also taken aback; he hadn't expected things to involve so many lives. He suppressed the anger rising within him and continued to ask, "Who instructed you to do this? Was it Chen Yuantu?!"
"N-no," Black Shadow shook his head with great difficulty. "It was—"
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes suddenly widened in horror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. In the next moment, black blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he convulsed a few times before falling completely silent.
"Is he dead?" Chen Li furrowed his brow, looking at Black Shadow's corpse in surprise. Although he had been a bit harsh earlier, it shouldn't have been enough to kill him.
He was indeed dead; it was just that his soul had been destroyed by someone else. Shen Qingyue nodded gravely.
"What kind of cultivation can kill someone invisibly?" Chen Li asked in confusion. After all, he didn't have a clear understanding of the cultivation environment in this world. This kind of vicious method and strange technique was something he had never encountered before.
"It doesn't require strong cultivation. This is a technique using Divine Soul Power called the Soul Destruction Technique."
"Soul Destruction Technique?" Chen Li looked at Shen Qingyue in puzzlement.
Shen Qingyue explained, "The Soul Destruction Technique is an extremely malicious secret art that can erase a person's soul, causing them to lose their spirit entirely. Moreover, the range of the Soul Destruction Technique is limited; the caster must be within a certain distance of the target to use it." She paused for a moment, scanning their surroundings. "This means that whoever killed Black Shadow is likely nearby!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Li's expression turned grave as he quickly turned to look around, his eyes glinting coldly.
A flash of golden light appeared between his brows as an invisible wave emanated from him, instantly transforming into large hands that spread out in all directions.
The Spirit Seeking Hand is a technique granted by the system that allows one to sense the presence and soul fluctuations of all living beings within a certain range; even those who are hidden cannot easily escape his perception.
Moments later, Chen Li suddenly opened his eyes wide, a glimmer of cold light flashing within them.
He found it! He was doomed!
He sensed an unusual wave of energy approaching rapidly toward his mother, Shen Wanzhou's room. The chilling and eerie aura carried a heavy stench of death that sent shivers down his spine.
This is bad; Mother is in danger! Chen Li's expression turned grim in an instant.
Beside him, Shen Qingyue's face also grew serious upon hearing this. Her big, watery eyes sparkled with cold killing intent.
If anyone dares to harm my mother, I will annihilate their entire bloodline!
Before she finished speaking, both of them transformed into fleeting shadows, racing toward the source of the ominous energy.
The night was dark and oppressive, with visibility reduced to nothing.
Outside Shen Wanzhou's room, a hunched figure silently appeared.
In the faint moonlight, one could vaguely see that it was a gaunt Old Hag, dressed in tattered black robes. Her hair was a wild mess of gray and white, cascading over her shoulders, and her face was lined with deep wrinkles resembling the bark of an ancient tree—dry and rough.
Her murky eyes were sunken deep into their sockets, flickering with a ghostly green light like will-o'-the-wisps, sending chills through anyone who dared to look.
The Old Hag had a long, pointed nose akin to an eagle's beak, and her thin lips were tightly pressed together, giving off an eerie vibe.
A string of beads made from white bones hung from her waist, clattering noisily as she moved, the sound piercing through the stillness of the night.
In her bony hand, resembling a chicken's claw, she leaned on a cane topped with a lifelike skull that looked disturbingly grotesque.
She came to a halt right in front of Shen Wanzhou's door, her cold gaze peering through the crack to observe Shen Wanzhou inside the room.
Confirming that Shen Wanzhou was deeply asleep, she couldn't help but let out a sinister chuckle. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, reminiscent of an owl's call at night—bone-chilling.
Those two little brats have quite the vigilance. Unfortunately, no one can stop me!
As she spoke, she pulled out a pitch-black skull from her robe. The eye sockets of the skull burned with two eerie green flames, looking incredibly strange.
Go now, my precious; go indulge in the delicious souls!
Ghost Granny whispered softly while continuously channeling her Vital Energy into the skull.
As her Vital Energy flowed into it, the green flames in the skull's eye sockets flared up even more vigorously. A chilling aura emanated from the skull, enveloping Shen Wanzhou in her room.
That sinister power felt like a cold wind from the Nine Nether Hell, carrying a bone-chilling chill and a nauseating scent of decay that swiftly penetrated the defensive barrier surrounding Shen Wanzhou's room.
This barrier was specifically set up by Chen Li for her mother, designed to withstand the attacks of ordinary practitioners. Yet, it felt as fragile as paper against this overwhelming force, offering no resistance whatsoever.
Shen Wanzhou, who had been sound asleep, suddenly seemed to awaken with a jolt. Her delicate brows furrowed tightly as an intense chill swept through her body, as if she had fallen into an ancient ice cave.
Having spent many years in the Wuding Marquisate, she possessed an instinctual awareness of danger. In that instant, she realized that she was being locked onto by a powerful force.
Who?!
Shen Wanzhou's eyes flew open, and with a cold shout, she attempted to mobilize her Spiritual Energy to resist. However, that sinister power coiled around her Divine Soul like a relentless parasite, biting at her essence like countless cold venomous snakes.
Ah!
The excruciating pain forced a muffled groan from Shen Wanzhou's lips, her previously rosy complexion turning pale in an instant as beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
She tried to struggle but found her body felt utterly unresponsive, as if it had lost all control and turned limp, unable to muster even a shred of strength.
Third-grade Divine Soul Power? You think you can escape my Soul Destruction Seal? Dream on! Heh heh!
Outside the room, the eerie laughter of Ghost Granny echoed, reminiscent of a night owl's call, sending chills down her spine.
Shen Wanzhou's heart raced with terror. She could distinctly feel her Divine Soul being gradually pulled by that strange force, as if it were being forcibly extracted from her body.
This sensation filled her with despair.
