Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 1253 Vicious
The rock wall was densely studded with human bones, which appeared bluish-white in the dim light and stretched into the darkness.

"What... are they doing?" Even though Du Xingyu knew early on that the Canghai Sect was committing the evil act of stripping spiritual roots, he never expected to see what he saw before his eyes.

First there was the disgusting pool of warm blood, then there were walls lined with human bones...

But weren't they trying to strip off their spiritual roots? Why were they keeping them? Could it be that the old thief from the Canghai Sect had some other evil habits?

"Blood, bones..." Aohen pondered, "I once heard a saying. It says that due to cultivation, the souls of cultivators are stronger than those of ordinary people. If you want them to completely disappear after death, destroying their bodies is not the best way. Instead, you should separate their limbs and flesh and blood and scatter them everywhere. In this way, the fresh soul will also be restrained by the separation of flesh and blood from the body, becoming fragmented, but locked to the broken body, unable to leave in one piece."

"What a vicious method." Du Xingyu frowned and spat. "You don't want the souls of the people you killed to escape and let others know what happened to them before they died, right?"

The method of searching for gods has existed in the world of immortal cultivation since ancient times. However, this method is too cruel and can cause irreversible damage to the recipient's soul. It also requires the performer to be at a certain level. Therefore, few people would use it unless there is a great hatred or grudge.

The most common one is the soul-searching method used in torture to extract a confession. Once this method is used, even if the person being tortured still has breath left, it is actually no different from being dead.

There is another way, which is to search the soul of the deceased, but there is only one chance. The soul without a body is inherently fragile, and after the soul search, it will basically disappear into thin air.

Many sects set up soul lamps for their disciples and trace the cause of death after an accident. In fact, they use similar methods.

But the prerequisite is that the soul must be completely free.

Powerful sects, such as the top three sects, can use some means to preserve part of the soul and nourish it if they wish, and then reshape the soul into a new body when there is an opportunity in the future.

But if it is true as Aohen said, these dead monks were imprisoned with their bodies, trapping their shattered souls to death here...

No wonder so many sect disciples disappeared without any clue and turned to Taixu Palace for help.

"They are totally unscrupulous! Lawless!" Ling Yichen's disgust towards the Canghai Sect almost reached its peak, and he cursed them several times angrily.

"We're just getting started!" Aohen chuckled and glanced at Ling Yichen. "A person has more than just blood and bones. If I'm not mistaken, there are more surprises in the passages next to them."

Ling Yichen's face was grim: "What on earth do they want to do? Killing so many people is not enough... Canghai Sect is just a small and declining sect, right? The leader is barely a golden elixir, how dare they commit such a heinous crime that is condemned by both humans and gods? What kind of power do they want to use so many lives?"

"Why are you looking at me?" Ao rolled his eyes and turned his back to Ling Yichen.

"Brother Ao, you are well-informed," Du Xingyu flattered him hastily, "We still have to rely on your knowledge."

"You are really good at talking." Ao Hen praised Du Xingyu with a smile, and turned to Lin Fan, "If you want to know what kind of magic they are doing, you have to find the magic array. But looking at this situation, either their strength is not up to their ambition, or their ambition is not small."

"Then let's continue to collect evidence." Lin Fan released a drone and turned on the recording function. "No matter who it is or what they want to do, they can't expect to continue to get away with it in the face of irrefutable evidence."

The road behind was always very quiet.

The four of them walked to the end of the bone cave, then walked back silently. After careful analysis, they entered the next safe passage again.

This time it was even more horrifying - they saw sheets of human skin stretched out and nailed to the wall.

The human skin was cut from the corner of the mouth to the ear, and the skin was twisted into a hideous smile that never closed, with dried blood scabs still congealed in the empty eye sockets.

The jagged cuts on the edges of the human skin were covered with dark red bloodstains, which meandered along the wall in black lines and gathered into small black shadows on the ground, reflecting the flickering firelight and emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

"Canghai Sect!" Du Xingyu clenched his fists tightly, wishing that someone would appear immediately so that he could punch him to death.

Lin Fan had seen many dead people and all kinds of corpses. But such a cruel method still made her emotions, which had been calm for a long time, begin to fluctuate.

Entering the next hole, the fishy smell became stronger.

"It's the smell of fresh blood." Ao Hen said affirmatively.

Du Xingyu felt the wind flow and said, "The temperature here is slightly higher than other places. Maybe there are people guarding inside."

Lin Fan glanced at Lingxi and said, "Brother and the others have already left the town. We don't need to continue to act in secret." "Humph!" Ling Yichen raised his sword, "I've been waiting for a long time!"

Unfortunately, after entering more than 200 meters, people saw it, but it was not what they wanted to see.

On the rock wall, at regular intervals, there were people nailed to death by iron nails.

They maintained a painful struggle, their faces twisted and deformed by extreme fear and pain. Their eyes were lifeless, their limbs twisted and deformed. Everyone had a big hole on their body, either in their pubic area, in their chest, or in their head...

There were bloodstains all over his body, which formed a pool of blood along the wall at their feet...

Du Xingyu and Ling Yichen rushed over to check.

"It's useless." Ao Hen shook his head and paced side by side with Lin Fan. "These people died a long time ago."

Du Xingyu had a flash of inspiration, and Yunxiu Zhao took action.

As the umbrella was opened, the spells on the umbrella fell down like flowing water.

"Yin and Yang are reversed, the world is shifting, the three souls and seven spirits quickly gather! Souls come!"

Instantly, a faint outline of a soul appeared on the corpse on the wall, but it flickered as if the battery was low.

Seeing this, Lin Fan and Ling Yichen immediately guarded the front and back of the passage.

"Yin and Yang are separated, but the spirits are connected. Past and present lives are all in my eyes!"

Du Xingyu shouted softly, and with two fingers he pulled the talisman floating under the umbrella and threw it towards the nearest soul.

The rune instantly turned into a ribbon, circling around each soul from near to far. The souls that were almost gone instantly solidified.

"How was it? What did you see?" Ling Yichen asked.

Du Xingyu could not see anything. The soul was not sure whether it was weak or had other injuries, so it did not make any sound.

But he knew the reason and said directly in a deep voice.

"It's the spiritual roots! These people's spiritual roots have been extracted!"

Ling Yichen asked in disbelief: "Extracting spiritual roots? What does that mean?"

Aohen obviously didn't expect this answer, and his eyes were confused for a moment.

"The Canghai Sect extracts the spiritual roots of cultivators and tries to replace them with people with higher cultivation levels, attempting to concentrate the spiritual roots in cultivators with higher cultivation levels and restart the ancient world!" Du Xingyu directly stated the answer he got from Madam Wen.

Originally, when he heard what Madam Wen said, he didn't take it too seriously.

It may be because although Madam Wen’s spiritual roots and tendons are broken, she is still fine as a whole.

Therefore, in Du Xingyu's imagination, even if it was true that the Canghai Sect extracted spiritual roots, it was just malicious and outrageous. Who would have thought that he would see so many cruel and bloody things today?
The Canghai Sect is vicious in more ways than just their thoughts!
Now that we have come this far, we won't wait for Aohen to slowly find clues. We will just expose the true identity of Canghai Sect and kill them with the help of these two Jindans!

"How is that possible?!" Ling Yichen blurted out.

"Back to ancient times?" Ao narrowed his eyes and rubbed his waist again.

Lin Fan, who was standing at the back on guard, saw it.

Aohen seems to touch that place often...

Is there anything there?
