The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

And Yan Yunsheng had long been accustomed to this, sighing earnestly.

"Let me teach you something, the matters in the dungeon..."

As he spoke, Yan Yunsheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said solemnly, word by word.

"Don't listen, don't watch, don't ask, don't know, understand?"

Hearing these eerie and chilling four words, everyone was stunned for half a second, then nodded like pecking garlic.

"Got it! Got it!"

At that moment, the howling from underground suddenly subsided, and after a while, a handsome young man slowly walked out, looking satisfied with a refreshing demeanor.

"Sir!"

Yan Yunsheng took the lead, stepping forward to greet him with respect.

"Greetings, sir."

Immediately, the eight inspectors uniformly half-kneeled on the ground, their faces full of zeal and saluted with clasped fists.

"I'm not one for such strict rules, no need to kneel."

With a chuckle and a shake of his head, Zhu Haomiao raised his hand with an ethereal lift, an irresistible force lifting the eight inspectors up, startling them.

Originally, they thought Li Lin was somewhat gilded, never expecting the other party to be so strong!

Just that casual lift of a finger showcased a realm so profound that they could only look up in awe.

On the other side, not even noticing this small matter, Zhu Haomiao looked calmly at Yan Yunsheng.

"Have the rules been explained?"

"They have been explained."

"Then that's good. Based on past achievements, let them exchange for cultivation techniques, and after a period of familiarization, we will begin the next phase of action."

Having anticipated this, Yan Yunsheng calmly nodded.

"Understood."

After encouraging the eight inspectors with a few words, Zhu Haomiao floated away, leaving them impatiently looking at Yan Yunsheng.

"Let's go, follow me to exchange cultivation techniques."

"Brother Yan, is that it? Can we exchange for the Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique and the Void Refining God and Returning to Truth Technique?"

"Yes."

"Shouldn't we offer something to County Captain Li?"

"No need."

"Don't we need to be fed some poison or something?"

"What?!"

"Otherwise, should I send my son to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to be a servant? That's how it's always played out in dramas!"

Yan Yunsheng: "..."

In the main hall of the Anti-theft Bureau in Lechang Square, Zhu Haomiao sat on a chair, leisurely gazing into the distance, his mind immersed deep within his soul.

Book of Black: Devour Source Quality

Body +2 (1×200%)

Essence +1

God +1

Since Gluttony and the energy level increased, the authority of the Immortal's Grasp also strengthened, now able to seize three times a day, with each yield greatly enhanced.

However, the accompanying problem was that the prisoners' spirit and body couldn't withstand the ravaging, and after only a few attempts, they would "suddenly die of a sudden illness"!

The solution was simple enough, capture stronger prisoners!

If those of the Lower Three Grades wouldn't do, then try the Middle Three Grades. If those of the Middle Three Grades wouldn't do, go for the Upper Three Grades!

As the grades increased, the strength of the spirit and body also strengthened, surely able to withstand more ravages!

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao drifted in thought, suddenly hearing a call by his ear.

"Sir."

Turning his head, he saw Yan Yunsheng standing respectfully beside him.

"Is everything arranged?"

"Everything is arranged."

"How did they react?"

"They were overjoyed and immensely grateful."

"Haha, the folk customs are truly simple here..."

With a sarcastic laugh, Zhu Haomiao shook his head, then shifted his tone.

"How's the investigation on Huo Hong going?"

"I went over the route of his capture again and found nothing unusual."

"What about the inn where he stayed at the time?"

"We also searched there back then, and there should be no omissions, but even if there were, half a year has passed, countless people have stayed in that room, I'm afraid..."

Listening to Yan Yunsheng's helpless muttering, Zhu Haomiao pressed his lips tightly in frustration.

"Tsk... he didn't even speak of these things before dying, his mouth was really tough!"

Yan Yunsheng: "..."

As if you ever even gave him a chance to speak?!

Internally complaining, Yan Yunsheng took out a long knife wrapped in cloth and respectfully handed it to Zhu Haomiao.

"Sir, this is the weapon Huo Hong used at the time, it's been stored in the warehouse, should be free from other people's Qi."

"Sigh... treat it like a dead horse as a living one, take the Spirit Dog, and head to the inn where he stayed."

"Yes!"

......

On the crowded and bustling streets of Lechang Square, a few figures with bizarre auras stood by the roadside, one of whom spat indignantly.

"Why is it that their place is so prosperous and civilized, with steamrolling Qi Fortune, while our island is still in a primitive, brutish age with no resources!"

"Uh... strictly speaking, the Illusion Realm's Japan birthing area isn't an island anymore, it's connected to the mainland by a narrow passage."

"What use is that, you'd have to pass through the Korea birthing area, then bypass the Extreme North, and then traverse the Nomadic Empire just to reach Da Zhen, might as well come by sea!"

"Speaking of Korea, didn't a few of their teams come over too?"

"Of course, it's a barren place too, if they don't come to Da Zhen to mine resources, would they stay back and fight wild monkeys?!"

"What did the astrologer say?"

"It's confirmed that there are three major Qi Fortunes converging in this world, one in the Extreme West, another in the Nomadic Empire's royal court, and finally in Da Zhen."

"Tsk tsk, the foundation here is the richest, with abundant Qi Fortune, there'll likely be many vying for opportunities, we need to seize the time!"

"Don't rush, the boss hasn't come over yet, the acclimation and coupling period isn't over, just do some preliminary reconnaissance work first."

"Almost everyone's back at the Gold Energy Level, what's there to fear?!"

"Did you forget who chased us everywhere in the last Illusion Realm?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the speaker shamefully said.

"How can that be the same? The despicable Chinese didn't follow the martial ethics, they dispatched two battle groups to encircle us!"

"Who told you to go crazy and wipe out a Yanhuang Armory base?! Made us All Heavens Illusion Realm run everywhere!"

"As if you never wiped out a base yourself!"

"Nonsense! I did it to snatch the True Object, and I specifically left a survivor!"

Listening to the quarrel among the team members, a tall and robust man pinched his brows in exasperation.

"Stop quarreling. By the Dragon's habits, only a very few elite forces will be committed to a completely new Illusion Realm, we can just avoid them, there's no need to confront them directly."

"At this stage, what we need to be wary of is not the people from Dragon, but those peers."

"I've heard that many old friends have come in, they hate us even more than the people from Dragon, if we cross paths, it'll absolutely be a life or death situation... wait, why are you tugging at me?"

"Look over there, who is glaring at us?"

The man turned his head and saw a group of familiar faces with eyes blazing and grinning fiercely.

"..."

These faces were too familiar, he would recognize them even if they turned to ash!

Because he had indeed once turned them to ash before...
