It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

The wind stopped, and the clouds drifted away, lingering at the entrance of the cave.

It was broad daylight, but the cave was dimly lit, and the presence of more than a dozen coffins made it seem even more eerie.

However, having witnessed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Yun Li was not afraid at all.

With a wave of his hand, the three coffins blocking the way were swept away by the wind and moved to the side. With another wave of his hand, several wind blades shot irregularly toward the stone wall.

With a few quick "swish, swish, swish," the stone was chopped up without falling. Yun Li stepped forward, raised his hand, and placed it against the cut stone, shouting "Collect!"

After being stored in the space, an entrance that could be entered appeared.

He reached in directly, touched the box, and silently chanted "collect." In the blink of an eye, all six hundred-plus boxes hidden inside were collected.

Before leaving, she glanced at the cave floor, which was covered with brown stones and brown soil.

If you look at it for a while, you'll find that these brown stones and brown soil are all stained with blood.

After a moment's thought, she had her answer.

The person who died was probably someone Zhang Dazhu had hired to help move the boxes.

After the deed was done, he was silenced.

As for the body, it was probably thrown off the cliff.

A quick glance down the cliff revealed large animals; it seemed the carcasses had likely been eaten by them.

It's the perfect place to dispose of a body and cover up the crime.

Yun Li was very happy to have recovered more than half of the Yun family's belongings. She went into her space, cooked herself a delicious meal, and then had a good sleep.

Take good care of yourself and go to Beijing to find Liu Liren.

While Yun Li was fast asleep, Black Hawk, Zhao Xu, Master Zhidu, Han Xi, Jiang Wei, and the Black and White Taoist Priests were being tortured and interrogated about the identity and whereabouts of the lightning ability user.

Emma, ​​Jiang Ting, and Vikram were constantly running away, looking disheveled and having not slept for days.

In the underground cave filled with the smell of seawater, there stood rows of huge wooden pillars.

Seven people, including Black Hawk, were tied to seven of the wooden pillars. Each of them was covered in blood and looked horribly gruesome.

A man in a long robe lashed Black Hawk with a barbed leather whip, drawing blood and flesh.

"Still not going to talk? What benefits did that lightning ability user give you? You're even risking your own lives."

Black Hawk tried to raise his head, but couldn't. He hadn't eaten anything for several days, only drunk a little water, and his strength was almost nonexistent.

"I've said it so many times, I don't know that lightning ability user. If I did, I wouldn't have accepted the bounty to capture her at Bijin Mountain."

His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible unless you listened very carefully.

The man in the long robe didn't believe it and lashed out with his whip again. Black Hawk didn't even have the strength to let out a scream.

"Heh, just because we didn't know each other before doesn't mean we won't know each other later. Someone saw you all gathered at the edge of a cliff on Mount Bijin on the day the formation was broken."

Black Hawk gave an almost inaudible sneer. "If you had a bounty on your head, would you reveal your true identity?"

The man in the long robe frowned. Of course not.

He looked at Black Hawk with a scrutinizing gaze. Did he really not know?

Thinking of something, he glanced at the seven people tied to the pillar. "You all say you don't know them, but once that person arrives, nothing about you from birth will escape his eyes. If he finds out that anyone is lying..."

"Hmph, I will show you the cruelest torture in the world. What you are suffering now is nothing compared to that."

After speaking, the man in the long robe put his hands behind his back and walked out.

Once everyone had left, Master Zhidu's weak voice rang out, "What are your thoughts on his claim that everything about his birth could not escape that person's eyes?"

Jiang Wei struggled to lift his head slightly before letting it droop back down. "This ability isn't on the list of superpowers I've seen."

Zhao Xu glanced at Black Hawk with concern and said, "I don't know."

Master Zhidu sighed, and just as he finished, he heard Master Huang from next door say, "There is a Taoist technique called Soul Searching, which can peer into memories and know all the big and small things in a person's life."

"Those who have had their souls searched will eventually become fools."

The last sentence was a reminder to them that they must not allow their souls to be searched.

Once your soul is searched, you will become a complete idiot.

"Amitabha," Master Zhidu said with a smile, "Becoming a fool isn't so bad. At least when you're discovered lying and subjected to even more cruel torture, you won't experience rational pain."

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look at Master Zhidu, who was smiling despite his blood-covered face.

That smile, combined with what he said, was really eerie.

"Old monk, do you know the true identity of that lightning-powered individual?"

Han Xi gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to devour Master Zhidu. If he knew, why didn't he say so?

If they just speak out, they won't suffer like this.

She wasn't so heartless as to want the lightning ability user to be caught; she was just thinking about the lightning ability user's power.

If these people go to her, they might get killed instead, wouldn't that be great?

Master Zhidu looked past the Black and White Taoist priests and Jiang Wei, and looked at Han Xi on the far side, and said very sincerely:

"Benefactor Han, this old monk was unaware of the identity of a lightning ability user."

Han Xi: "You don't know why you said you were caught lying."

Master Zhidu shook his head speechlessly, "Benefactor Han, the reason I say this is because I know where to find her."

Han Xi almost ground her teeth to powder. "You know where to find her? Why didn't you tell me?"

He was so angry that he felt dizzy and couldn't even utter a question.

Even though she didn't say it, Master Zhidu still figured it out and took the initiative to explain, "I didn't say it because I was afraid of implicating ordinary people."

At this time, he was unaware that Yun Li had left Xiangcheng with Yun Guiyue's family.

If they had known, they probably would have sold Yun Li out without hesitation.

When others heard him say this, they were all thinking about what ordinary people he might implicate.

Especially Black Hawk and Zhao Xu, in their eyes, Yun Li usually goes her own way, and this is her first time in Xiangcheng.

……

Even when being chased by demons, Emma maintained her elegant demeanor.

But at this moment, her blonde hair looked like it had been chewed by a dog, and her dress was tattered and stained with blood.

Large and small wounds can be seen on the exposed skin and face.

The umbrella she had been holding was now just a skeleton.

The wings on its back were almost completely bare, with only a few feathers still clinging to them.

"Whoosh"

Injured, exhausted, and hungry, Emma was slow to react and was shot in the calf by an arrow, causing her to fall forward with a painful groan.

There were still people chasing her, so she didn't dare to delay. She immediately pulled out the arrow, tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt and hastily bandaged the wound, then continued running aimlessly.

The reason she was aimlessly wandering was because she had been running in the mountains for three days and couldn't find her way out.

All I can do is roar in anger, "Damn Eastern metaphysics, it's so annoying!"

Emma, ​​who was running and cursing in her mind, was unaware that someone else was cursing her 20 kilometers away.

Vikram tried to swim ashore while soaking in the seawater, only to find that he couldn't get ashore at all.

You can't swim to the far sea, but luckily the water here isn't deep, and you can stand on your feet in the shallow parts.

The two land snakes had lost all their vitality after being soaked in seawater.

When they were hungry, they would catch fish from the sea to eat. Although this filled their stomachs, they lacked fresh water, and Vikram was about to give up.

Now he's praying for rain so he can at least get some fresh water.
