As soon as he entered the stone tower, Li Yan imdiately sensed sothing was wrong.
Sha Lifei seed to have gone completely mad, mistaking him for one of those evil spirits, struggling violently, and swinging a bone stick at him.
Li Yan twisted his wrist, turned his body sideways, and used the move "Sea-crossing Golden Beam," pressing Sha Lifei directly to the ground, causing the bone stick to roll away.
"Old Sha, wake up!"
Li Yan’s face was stern as he called out deeply.
Unfortunately, Sha Lifei continued to shake his head like a wild beast.
Seeing a layer of dark mist over the old man’s eyes, Li Yan spoke no more, pressing down his left hand on him while forming a mantra with his right, chanting: "Qing Jia! Heaven aids the people, capturing Beifeng severely. Commanded by the divine, cleansing all misfortune... Act swiftly as commanded!"
After finishing the spell, he pointed his finger at Sha Lifei’s forehead.
This was the "North Emperor Exorcism Technique," specifically used to deal with possession, ghost crashing, enchantnt, and other abnormal states.
It seed Sha Lifei’s Divine Soul had been contaminated by evil spirits.
Sure enough, as soon as the spell was cast, Sha Lifei gradually cald down, and the layer of dark mist over his eyes quickly dissipated.
"Brother Yan, you... you ca too?"
Seeing Li Yan, Sha Lifei was a mix of surprise and unease.
He knew what Li Yan was up to, and while he would be lying if he said he wasn’t touched, he was even more worried.
This place was truly too terrifying.
"We’re brothers, no need for extra words."
Li Yan interrupted him in a deep voice, then briefly explained the general situation of the Corpse Forest and inford him about what had been experienced before.
Much fear cos from the unknown.
Sha Lifei could only feel darkness and the malicious gaze hiding in shadows, naturally amplifying his fear.
Upon hearing Li Yan clarify what was outside, he imdiately gritted his teeth, "I knew it, a band of jealous unfortunates following around like I owe them money!"
As he spoke, he regained that carefree spirit.
Li Yan chuckled silently, glanced around, and shook his head, saying, "Tell , how did you find this place?"
"I stumbled upon it by accident."
Sha Lifei scratched his head and said, "In this ghostly place, I could only see three feet ahead, any further and I couldn’t see anything."
"I wandered around, attracting that band of unfortunates who chased all over, and sohow, I ended up in this ghost place."
Li Yan nodded, picking up the bone stick from the ground to examine it.
"I found this thing here too."
Seeing this, Sha Lifei promptly asked, "Brother Yan, what’s up, is there a problem with this place?"
"Yes."
Li Yan carefully examined the bone stick, speaking deeply, "The River God has reincarnated, and it’s likely the handiwork of the person who built this place."
"This is where he Stored God to build a tower, maybe we can find so clues and figure out this person’s identity..."
While speaking, Li Yan frowned deeply.
Initially, he thought the bone stick was human bone, but upon closer inspection, it seed off, far more slender than human bones.
It looked more like the forearm bones of a monkey, twisted and connected through special craftsmanship to form a bone staff.
This object was the Magic Artifact of that Qiang monk.
The "Corpse Forest" was akin to a spiritual space, where everything seed dreamlike and couldn’t be taken outside.
Li Yan couldn’t figure it out and his Divine Skills were suppressed here, so he made sure to morize it in detail to draw it out and seek intelligence later.
After making careful notes, he led Sha Lifei onward.
As he expected, this was where the Storing God built the tower, and although it differed from Buddhist Tao in so ways, it was also asured by layers.
The stone tower looked large from the outside, but inside it was just the sa; after a few rounds, Li Yan and Sha Lifei had seen everything on the first floor.
This Divine Hall had Qiang-style elents and Buddhist features.
The style of building the tower was usually related to the Magic thod, suggesting that the person might have been a Qiang Wizard who also practiced Buddhist Law.
The patterns on the stones were the sa.
They contained the sun, moon, and stars worshiped by the Qiang people, as well as lotus flowers, swastikas, and Scripture Banners.
What attracted Li Yan more, however, was the Divine Statue above.
The Divine Statue depicted a Buddha, resembling the old monk he had seen before, surrounded by a Divine Dragon.
Beside it squatted a small Golden Thread monkey, like a Child, holding a tribute incense burner.
What kind of path was this?
Li Yan beca increasingly curious.
It was the first ti he’d seen a Storing God with a pet.
Of course, these inexplicable things could only be noted first to seek out soone knowledgeable later.
For now, it was more important to understand the old ghost’s Dao.
Li Yan and Sha Lifei climbed the steps upward.
The palaces above weren’t much different from the first floor, just smaller in size, and with the sa Divine Statues.
The further up they went, the more serious Li Yan’s expression beca.
They had ascended five floors.
This indicated the other had a Dao of five levels.
And given the circumstances, this was many years ago.
Now that the River God had reincarnated, this old monk was surely a key figure, possibly having further advanced his Dao...
Crack!
As he contemplated, a crack suddenly appeared in the stone tower, followed by a fierce wind, and bricks began to collapse chaotically.
"This place can’t hold up any longer!"
Li Yan quickly dragged Sha Lifei and dashed out.
The stone tower seed sturdy, but it was rely a trace left by soone’s practice here, with no foundation.
That it had protected Sha Lifei for these days was already its limit.
Boom!
The mont they rushed out of the tunnel, the stone tower behind them completely collapsed, with the bricks turning into powder and dispersing as soon as the Corpse Forest’s eerie wind blew.
The traces left by the Qiang monk were completely erased.
However, neither of them could spare a mont to care.
"Roar!"
A piercing and eerie howl echoed.
The dark mist churned around, silhouettes flickered, and dense hordes of evil spirits with glowing red eyes surrounded them from all directions.
