Chapter 1016: Immortal Ascension Pill

Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Su walked out of the secret room and looked at Leng Yan and Lu Feng. “Return immediately after collecting the evidence. You’re not allowed to stay.”

Leng Yan was stunned. “What about you?”

In Minister Ruan’s orders, Yu Su was more important than her own life. When necessary, Leng Yan would sacrifice herself to protect Yu Su. Leng Yan was very worried that Yu Su would barge into danger alone.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” With that, Yu Su walked into the secret room without looking back.

After Yu Su stood still, she closed her eyes and muttered a few incantations. The array formation began to spin. All the array formations had a way to be cracked, but if she cracked them, people could not enter the graveyard again. For more clues, Yu Su had to follow Kong Yi.

A moment later, the array was activated.

“Buzz…” A loud roar sound in Yu Su’s ears. She closed her eyes and ignored the strange sounds around her. Instead, she focused on chanting the curse.

“I’m here.” A moment later, Yu Su opened her eyes and saw the graveyard she had come to during the day.

During the day, the graveyard was already terrifying enough, and the graveyard at night was even more bloody. As soon as Yu Su stepped out of the array formation, more than ten mangled souls floated over.

Yu Su shouted softly, “Scram!” Those souls were instantly swept away by a gust of wind, and the terrifying atmosphere around her faded a lot.

Not far away, Kong Yi was focused on digging. He muttered, “Don’t blame me. It was all Second Elder and Kong Chen’s idea. I had no choice. It has nothing to do with me. Don’t look for me even if you want to take revenge. I’m just a worker.”

In fact, Kong Yi was scared to death. However, if he did not complete the burial mission, he would become a corpse in the graveyard tomorrow. In order to survive, he didn’t have a choice.

“I died so tragically…” Suddenly, a female voice sounded from behind Kong Yi. Kong Yi felt the surrounding temperature suddenly drop, as if he had arrived in hell. The voice sounded in his ears, and a gust of wind blew behind his ears.

“Wah…” Kong Yi was so frightened that he swung the shovel behind him. “I… I already said that it has nothing to do with me. I’m just a worker. If you want to find someone, look for that old thing, the Second Elder!”

Kong Yi’s legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He looked around but didn’t see anything strange. He suddenly raised his head and a huge ghost face appeared in front of him. The eyeballs on the ghost face fell. It was ten thousand times more terrifying than a female ghost in a horror movie.

“Wahhh…” Kong Yi closed his eyes and cried. He slapped himself hard. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have come to Mount Zhongnan for money. It’s all my fault…”

Kong Yi really regretted it. Kong Yi and Kong Er were Buddhist disciples, and Kong Chen was their senior brother. When they heard that Kong Chen had a great opportunity outside, the two of them wanted to rely on Kong Chen, but they didn’t expect to end up doing such a thing. The two of them had no way out and could only do this.

But every night, those people’s eyes would appear in his dreams. The hatred, fear, and resentment in their eyes would never be forgotten.

Yu Su waved the female ghost away and walked towards Kong Yi. “I’m a special investigator from the Metaphysics Management Office. Hurry up and explain the matter clearly!”

“What?” He wiped his tears and looked at Yu Su with misty eyes. “Are you really an outsider? If I tell you, can my punishment be lighter?” He wanted to return to the Buddhist monastery. Even if the monastery was a little poor, he was at least real and calm.

Yu Su sneered and placed the recording device in front of her chest. “It depends on your performance, if the information you provide is worth it.”

“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!” Kong Yi hurriedly wiped his tears and began to tell the story. In his words, Yu Su gradually understood his identity and knew the process of Kong Yi ascending the mountain. Kong Yi had been deceived into ascending the mountain.

“Then why do you still want to help Kong Chen after knowing his crimes?” Yu Su asked calmly.

Kong Yi shook his head. “Investigator, you don’t know, but Kong Chen seems to have been possessed. It’s the demonic energy in the back mountain…” At this point, he looked around sneakily.

Kong Yi continued in a low voice, “He became very irritable. In the past, he was ten years older than now. I don’t know why he suddenly became younger. He also has a special ability. He can absorb other people’s essence…”

“What else? What’s with this pill?” Yu Su asked.

At the mention of medicinal pills, tears flowed from the corners of Kong Yi’s eyes. “This kind of medicinal pill is the signature pill of the alchemy room. It’s called the Immortal Ascension Pill. Its effect is to quickly increase the level of the cultivator. It’s welcomed by everyone on Mount Zhongnan.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “But I discovered a secret. Everyone who has taken pills has tumors on their bodies.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
