Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 318 Condensing Evil Bead
There were dim candles on both sides of the aisle, and the firelight cast the furtive figures of two people on the wall.

The two of them walked very lightly, but the sound of their footsteps still felt loud enough to be heard from far away.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the entire space gradually became more spacious, and a large hall appeared in front of the two.

The underground hall is shaped like a vase. Lin Chen and Mochizuki Qianxun are now at the relatively narrow position at the mouth of the vase. There are four men in indigo guard uniforms in the long underground hall. Judging from their aura, they should all be mid-level mages.

"Most of the mortals in Dongshou Pavilion have their strength suppressed by restrictions, so a mid-level magician is already a very powerful existence in their eyes!" Mochizuki Qianxun looked at Lin Chen and explained.

The only light in the basement hall was the faint firelight on the wall. Lin Chen knocked the four people out without hesitation.

"You go see your brother, I'll stay here!" After doing all this, Lin Chen said to Mochizuki Qianxun.

Mochizuki Qianxun looked at Lin Chen, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes as she said, "Thank you!"

Then she stuck to the thick door and spoke to the people inside.

They were just talking about their daily lives, and Lin Chen didn't understand!

After a while, Mochizuki Qianxun looked back at Lin Chen. From the excitement in her eyes, she could tell that the person imprisoned inside was really her brother Tsuruta!

Mochizuki Chisaki had some mood swings, and his eye circles were already red.

Tsuruta has been missing for such a long time that she almost thought that her brother had disappeared. Who would have thought that he was imprisoned just across a suspension bridge from her? As a member of the West Guard Tower, how could Mochizuki Chisaki not know how terrible this prison is?
The two chatted for a long time, during which Lin Chen did not forget to take care of the four guards.

After a while, Wangyue Qianxun came over and said to Lin Chen: "In addition to the dark formation in Dongshou Pavilion, there is also a huge curse. This curse will extract the soul power of the people imprisoned here bit by bit. I originally thought that this was the effect of the curse formation, but I didn't expect that the curse formation not only extracted the soul power from the prisoner's body, but also condensed it into a bead... I think the treasure you want to find should be this, right?"

Lin Chen nodded gently and said, "Not bad!"

Mochizuki Chishun said angrily: "Military leader Gao Mu, that bastard, did this in order to allow his contracted summoned beast to advance to the monarch level... As a military leader of the West Guard Pavilion, it is extremely abominable to harm others for the sake of profit!"

"It seems that we have reached a consensus on our goal!" Lin Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mochizuki Chixun nodded and said, "That's right, we must take the Condensed Pearl away, otherwise if Gao Mu finds it, he will definitely kill my brother to silence him!"

Then, Mochizuki Chixun followed the instructions given by her brother and took Lin Chen to where the beads were.

After successfully arriving at the place that Tsuruta mentioned, the two entered the room, only to see a turbid and evil bead suspended in the center of the room.

When Wangyue Qianxun was about to take the bead in her hand, Lin Chen immediately stopped her.

"Don't move. This thing can bewitch people. If nothing unexpected happens, your brother has been bewitchmented. If you touch it, you will be bewitch too!" Lin Chen said firmly.

Mochizuki Qianxun was stunned, turned around and said in disbelief: "Impossible, my brother would never lie to me!" Lin Chen said helplessly: "Believe me, your brother has been bewitched!"

Mochizuki Chixun asked: "You came here just for this bead, can I really trust you?"

"I already trusted you, but I didn't expect that you still didn't trust me!" Lin Chen said with a wry smile.

At this moment, the bead seemed to have sensed something and wanted to run away, but the moment it moved, it was imprisoned by Lin Chen.

Mochizuki Chisaki suddenly said excitedly: "I don't disbelieve you, nor do I want to possess it. All I want to do is hand it over to the Osaka Magic Association or the Osaka government. I just want my brother to stop suffering in Toshukaku!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen was slightly stunned. He understood that Mochizuki Qianxun had been tricked.

In this case, Lin Chen changed his mind and said immediately: "Do as you think!"

Mochizuki Chixun was moved and said, "Thank you, thank you for helping me. After my brother is released, I will definitely abide by the bet!"

It is not difficult to leave the East Guard Pavilion. There are not many guards in the entire East Guard Pavilion, and outsiders can never get in. In order to ensure that it is closed and tight enough, even if the guards are knocked out, they will not be discovered until the next shift change, so Lin Chen and Mochizuki Qianxun returned along the original route.

After going down the mountain, Mochizuki Chixun hurriedly ran towards Osaka City. Lin Chen certainly would not let her leave alone, so he followed closely behind her.

Although the bead was somewhat scary, it had no effect on Lin Chen at all!
……

The bright moonlight was hidden in the dark clouds at some point, and the night sky became pitch black, even the stars disappeared.

The bustling city of Osaka is still brightly lit and full of flowers even late at night. The neon lights scattered into the sky do not illuminate the night sky with an orange-red color as usual, but are instead absorbed by the thick darkness!

Lin Chen quickly saw that Mochizuki Qianxun had become unrecognizable. She was no longer her original appearance. She was actually a terrifying black shadow with scarlet eyes and covered with ghost whiskers.

The black shadow has only a torso and no head. It has centipede-like arms distributed on both sides of the body, dancing in rows, thick and strong.

The most terrifying thing is that this monster's chest is covered with scarlet eyes. There are no eye sockets but only eyeballs. Each eyeball is wriggling and staring at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, filled with resentment and cruelty.

Mochizuki Chixun turned around, revealing a ghostly appearance that instantly frightened everyone so much that they ran away scrambling. Even those driving on the road were so frightened that they couldn't hold the steering wheel tightly!
Just as the black shadow was about to go crazy, Lin Chen immediately came behind Wangyue Qianxun and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

"It's you?" Mochizuki Chixun said looking at him, but her eyes were not friendly.

Lin Chen regained some of his composure and said loudly, "Look at what you have done!"

"I..." Mochizuki Chisaki obviously retained some rationality. She glanced around and found that people were running away, girls were screaming, and several children were crying because of being scared by themselves.
