Mo Shisan was slammed into the mud by his scabbard before he could finish his words. Qi Huan, with a cold expression, opened the criminal law file and said, "The theft list reported by the Mechanical Department includes seventeen Thousand Machine Gears, which completely matches the remains in the ruins."
"Mr. Qi, stop blaming my Mechanical Hall. This Thousand Machine Disk was originally obtained by the Foreign Affairs Hall..."
Having said that, Mo Shisan suddenly fell silent, his eyes wandering to the broken Thousand Machine Disk in the hands of the patrol disciple of Cangfeng Pavilion, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
Finally, he turned and left without saying a word.
Qi Huan also felt a headache at this time. This matter involved too many things, and with their identities, it was impossible to investigate further.
"It seems that Tiangong Cave is too big, and there are bad people in the organization."
Xu Yunfan's voice sounded slowly. Qi Huan suddenly looked up at Xu Yunfan, intending to bring him back for questioning. Once he entered the Criminal Law Hall, he would naturally have a way to pry open Xu Yunfan's mouth and get everything out of him.
But the other party made it clear that if he was touched, he would have no scruples.
Once the Thunder and Fire Kirin Hammer in Xu Yunfan's hand was swung to its extreme, the mixture of thunder and fire was extremely powerful. The damage caused at the scene also made his heart skip a beat.
Not to mention how the Weapon Casting Hall would react if he really took Xu Yunfan away. At that time, I'm afraid Zhan Yan would come here with a sledgehammer to snatch him away, and trouble would arise.
That was not a matter between him and Xu Yunfan, but a matter between Cangfeng Pavilion and Zhubing Hall, which had torn their faces apart and started a full-scale war.
He cannot bear this guilt.
Qi Huan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Junior Brother Xu, you are now considered a suspect. Don't wander around at this time. If you get caught, it will be hard to say what will happen."
Xu Yunfan chuckled when he heard this.
"A poor way of provoking someone."
After saying this, he turned around and slowly left, carrying the heavy hammer.
The veins on Qi Huan's forehead bulged. He took a deep breath and finally calmed down. He turned his head to look at the fine steel sword case that was cracked by Xu Yunfan.
His fingers holding the long sword tapped the sword lightly, making a crisp sound like jade beads falling on a jade plate.
However, when he was about to leave, he saw Xu Yunfan rushing back with a heavy hammer on his shoulder, and carrying away the stone statue of Mingzun, which was as tall as a person and half of it was broken, from the ruins.
By the time he reacted, Xu Yunfan had already disappeared around the corner in a flash.
"Xu Yunfan!!"
Qi Huang could no longer maintain his composure and roared.
——
'There is an ominous aura surrounding you.'
Xu Yunfan's knuckles tightened slightly when he stepped into the villa. The moment the statue of Ming Zun, who was as tall as a man, fell to the ground with a loud bang, the bronze base collided with the blue bricks, making a dull echo.
He immediately sat on the ground with his five hearts facing the sky, his hands forming the Lin mudra, and silently chanted the mantra of "Supreme Good is Like Water". After a while, all distracting thoughts were cleared, and his emotions calmed down. His spirit in the sea of consciousness walked out of the mist, suppressed, purified, and captured the surging gray fog.
"An ominous aura surges towards you. The Lin character merges with it and transforms into a spiritual tonic that will be of great benefit to you."
'...'
Proficiency increase notifications kept popping up on the screen almost instantly.
As soon as the gray mist carrying the stench of rotten earth touched the seal, it was like ice falling into a furnace, turning into a gurgling warm current that soaked his brain.
Xu Yunfan could clearly sense every strand of transformed spiritual power flowing through his sea of consciousness like silver needle embroidery.
'The ominous aura has dissipated'
As the last clue appeared in his vision, Xu Yunfan finally opened his eyes and showed a look of joy.
The statue of Ming Zun, which had half of its head chopped off, was now in pieces and had lost its spirit.
In just such a short period of time, his proficiency increased by twenty points, which was almost equivalent to his three months of hard work.
When the bronze statue's base smashed into the blue bricks, Xu Yunfan smelled the scent of rust mixed with the aroma of aged pine resin, which was completely different from the crude pottery evil statue that had been destroyed in Wuzhou before.
When those so-called Mingzun statues shattered, what burst out was just black smoke wrapped in the smell of sulfur, which was far less cold than the chill that was now climbing up the spine.
These so-called wild evil gods at the gate of Tianshu were full of contempt in their words, as if they looked down on others.
But if that were the case, how could they have established such a huge cult, openly started a war throughout Wuzhou, and turned a large state into a barren land?
"Junior Brother Xu, are you okay?"
Fu Jin's voice came from a distance. Xu Yunfan's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and saw Fu Jin climbing over the wall.
Fu Jin's black robe, which exposed his breasts, rustled. When he landed, he even accidentally shattered three bricks because he used too much force. He was also holding a pair of eight-pointed double-guanidine hammers in his hands.
Xu Yunfan's eyes moved slightly.
There was still undried blood foam on Fu Jin's temples, and the surging blood energy in his body had not dissipated, emitting a hot breath like a furnace.
Seeing the Mingzun statue shattered by Xu Yunfan's hammer, Fu Jin shuddered suddenly, stepped forward, and kicked the stone statue into pieces.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Xu Yunfan looked at Fu Jin in surprise, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"How could Junior Brother carry this thing back?"
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Fu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to question.
When Fu Jin learned that Xu Yunfan had destroyed more than 20 similar Mingzun statues in Wuzhou, his trembling eyebrows finally relaxed.
"Junior brother, this thing is extremely evil. If you can avoid it, then don't touch it. Although the theory of gods and ghosts is just a trick for us warriors, we still need to stay away from it."
"Brother, the statue I destroyed in Wuzhou is very different from the stone statue I got from the Incense Sect this time. It has a cold and gloomy aura, so I want to study it."
"Um?!"
Fu Jin suddenly opened his eyes wide, quickly threw the double-guanidine hammer aside, and felt around Xu Yunfan's body.
"Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine. I'm fine."
Fu Jin then relaxed and repeatedly warned them not to approach these evil figures without permission. If they spotted one, they should gather their strength and destroy it with a hammer.
Xu Yunfan agreed and asked, "When I was in Qingzhou, I saw an eight-armed, three-headed statue of the Bodhisattva of Power of Awakening in the Thousand Buddha Temple. It was similar to this. The statue split open, and a large amount of black gas gushed out, turning an old monk into a demon.
Why was he called the Wild Evil God at that time? "
Fu Jin frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "These wild evil spirits are a major hidden danger to the world. There are ancient records of them in Tiangong Cave. It is said that those extremely powerful people are unwilling to die, so they try their best to live by borrowing other people's bodies and living on incense.
The devout spirit of believers is their best nourishment."
Having said that, Fu Jin sneered.
"These wild evil gods are all waiting for the return of the mystical power of heaven and earth, the rebirth of their primordial spirits, so they can restore their former glory. To achieve their goals, they will stop at nothing, inciting their followers and creating wars, each of which leaves the people displaced and their bones scattered across the wilderness."
