Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 16 Blood Abyss Anomalies

Su You opened them one by one, but there wasn't much wealth inside. Most of the people in the storage bags were cultivators who had spent their spirit stones on magical artifacts, so there wasn't much wealth in them.

A few bottles of pills to increase mana, some mid-grade and high-grade talismans, and some miscellaneous monster materials, could probably sell for more than nine thousand spirit stones.

The only pity is that most of the magical artifacts were corrupted and destroyed in the battle with that second-tier ghost. Only five high-grade magical artifacts were intact.

However, even a mosquito bite is still meat. All these items added up to about 12,000 spirit stones, which was a pretty good haul. Su You happily put them away.

After collecting their inheritance, Su You also dug a grave for them and buried them, so that they could rest in peace, since he had inherited their estate.

"Speaking of which, where did these two ghosts come from? Could they have come from that dry well?" Su You wondered as he stepped inside.

Arriving at the dry well, Su You could only see the parched soil filled with sand and gravel, and wisps of pure Yin energy invisible to the naked eye.

Su You leaped into the dry well.

Before he could even investigate the situation inside, Su You sensed a huge reaction from the Blood Abyss Jade Token in his storage bag.

"What's going on? This Blood Abyss Jade Token is actually reacting?" In Su You's memory, this Blood Abyss Jade Token was always used to accept missions and distribute merit points.

Soon, a majestic voice rang out from the Blood Abyss Jade Token, "Which sect are you a member of? Report to me immediately!"

Su You was somewhat surprised. This Blood Abyss Jade Token had been with the original owner for decades, and this was the first time the Blood Abyss Organization had taken the initiative to contact him. He reacted quickly and immediately replied, "Liushan Sect."

"Liushan Sect? So it's located near the Liuyun Mountains. No wonder there's a nearly damaged entrance to the Ghost Abyss." The dignified man pondered for a moment before continuing, "Now the organization is giving you a mission: collect the flesh and souls of 100,000 mortals. Tell me your location, and I'll send someone to assist you."

The dignified man's voice had a peculiar undulation when he said those words.

Su You, with his powerful mental strength, was able to discern the anomaly. It was clear that a mind-altering spell was being used through the Blood Abyss Jade Tablet.

If Su You were still his original soul, with the soul imprint left by the Blood Abyss organization after his manipulation, he would probably have been completely hypnotized and become a puppet by now.

"This is the Liuyun Mountains, located in the southeast, about three hundred miles to the left," Su You casually fabricated a location.

This place is real, of course. Su You has been there before. It is a location deep in the Liuyun Mountains. Last time he went there, he saw a group of second-tier demonic beasts and was so frightened that he left quickly.

After confirming the location, the imposing man disconnected.

The instant the connection was severed, Su You immediately used various sealing spells to enhance the Blood Abyss Jade Tablet.

He hadn't expected the jade tablet to have such power. Fortunately, he had always been cautious and only took the Blood Abyss Jade Tablet with him when returning to the sect. Otherwise, he kept it sealed away in some remote corner of the Flowing Cloud Mountains.

Su You quickly left the Xuan Yin Mine and then flew rapidly towards the Liu Yun Mountains.

"It seems that this time I really have to give up my status as a disciple of the Liushan Sect." Su You shook his head helplessly.

Although Su You did not consider himself a good person, he was not the kind of evil person who would slaughter all living beings.

This Blood Abyss organization, by collecting 100,000 flesh and souls and then adding the entrance to the Ghost Abyss, clearly intends to perform a blood sacrifice.

Su Youke will not become their accomplice.

Now he's taking the Blood Abyss Jade Token to the Flowing Cloud Mountains, hoping to mislead people for a while. After all, according to that person, the entrance to the Ghost Abyss is about to be destroyed. If they can delay until the entrance to the Ghost Abyss is destroyed, even if they find the real location, it won't be of any use.

After entering the depths of the Flowing Cloud Mountains, Su You released the wizard's seal, replaced it with talismans and spells, placed it in his storage bag, and then buried it deep in the earth. As for why he didn't destroy the Blood Abyss Jade Tablet, it was because he was afraid the other side would discover it immediately; it was better to find a place to hide it and buy time.

Furthermore, the jade tablets, sect robes, and other items belonging to the Liushan Sect should not be left behind. They should be placed in another storage bag and buried in another location.

After finishing this task, Su You did not go to the Void Heaven Immortal City immediately. Instead, he found a location near the Flowing Mountain Sect and waited for news of the vengeful spirit.

He sensed through the contract that the vengeful spirit was about to reach the Liushan Sect.

However, this vengeful spirit is indeed not very intelligent. Su You ran from the cave to the Liuyun Mountains and then back out. It took the vengeful spirit such a long time to find the right path.

……

after one day.

Through the contract mark, Su You clearly observed the vengeful spirit slowly passing through the great formation. Although it caused some damage to the vengeful spirit, it was still considered a success as it did not trigger the formation's alarm.

After the vengeful spirit infiltrated the Liushan Sect, Su You did not act immediately. Instead, he waited for Liu Hua to return to his cave before taking action. Making too much noise outside would easily attract the attention of a Golden Core cultivator.

Although the vengeful spirits are powerful, they are still far inferior to a Golden Core cultivator.

After waiting for a day, Liu Hua finally left Waishan Peak and prepared to return to his cave.

However, Su You broke through and saw Ji Cheng following closely behind Liu Hua, seemingly saying something.

"Deacon Liu, is that mission really capable of preventing Su You from returning?" Ji Cheng inquired.

"What? Isn't he your senior brother? Why are you so eager for him to die?" Liu Hua said with a half-smile. "Don't worry, unless Su You has the strength of Foundation Establishment, he will definitely die in this mission."

……

"Ji Cheng? Is he involved in this too?" Su You's heart was instantly filled with rage.

When he was in the market, he took care of them. It's possible that he orchestrated this whole thing.

Su You suppressed his anger and waited until the two separated before forcibly controlling the vengeful spirit to follow Liu Hua. He wanted to see if anyone else was targeting him.

After Liu Hua returned to his cave, Su You controlled the vengeful spirit to directly invade his soul, constantly tearing at it.

A few fragments of memory came from the vengeful spirit, and in an instant, the whole story became clear.

"Junior brothers and sisters, since you've given me such a generous gift, I must return the favor," Su You said with a cold smile.

After tormenting and devouring Ji Cheng's soul, Su You controlled the vengeful spirits to visit his junior brothers and sisters who had given him such generous gifts.

Upon arriving at Du Yue's cave, Su You saw that Du Yue seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, her eyes filled with tears, murmuring, "Senior brother, I'm sorry, senior brother, I'm sorry, I really can't help it..."

"Sigh, junior sister, one wrong step leads to another. I hope you will have a better future in your next life..." Su You sighed softly.

This time, instead of letting the vengeful spirit torment her or devour her soul, they simply killed her.

“Now there’s only one person left, Liu Hua.” Su You’s eyes were filled with determination. After killing Liu Hua, he would have no more ties with the Liushan Sect.
