Chapter 121 Yorgon's Gaze, Heretical Object
Something is wrong!
Behind him, Bai Xiang's corpse had been burned to a charred human shape.
Everything seemed to have settled down.
But in Wang Qingyun's eyes, a hint of doubt surfaced in that long-lost sharpness.
Just a moment ago.
He clearly felt the "shadows" around him... move slightly.
That's not a normal change in light and shadow.
Rather, it was a strange rhythm that seemed to come alive.
The feeling was fleeting, so quick that he thought it was an illusion.
Was it the last lingering echo of Bai Xiang's talent, "Return of Ten Thousand Thoughts," dissipating before his death?
Wang Qingyun walked to the place where Bai Xiang disappeared.
He looked down.
The ground was empty except for the scorched human-shaped mark.
His brow furrowed slightly.
What about that evil god statue?
There's also a storage ring with a hundred different appearances?
With the power of his "Flame of Annihilation," he could probably destroy many things.
But those two items containing special energy could not possibly have been reduced to ashes.
The most crucial thing...
【Key Fragment - Image】.
Items of this level are even more difficult to destroy.
Could it be that this thing isn't on Bai Xiang?
"Grass!"
He cursed inwardly.
"He overdid it."
Wang Qingyun felt slightly embarrassed.
However, he quickly shook his head and did not delve any further.
What business is it of his that the key is his problem?
Most importantly, Bai Xiang is already dead, regardless of the old grievances from twelve years ago or the harm he caused to society.
The mess that followed was not his responsibility.
"Uncle...Uncle..."
Ye Tong struggled to walk over.
He looked at the man in front of him and for a moment didn't know how to address him.
"Um?"
Wang Qingyun glanced sideways at Ye Tong.
This young man has been aggressive ever since he arrived in Jiangcheng.
He had an air of self-importance, as if he were the most intelligent person in the world.
Laying out this, calculating that...
If it weren't for his cheap master giving him a heads-up beforehand, he wouldn't have bothered with this self-important little brat.
Now you know to call me uncle?
Sure enough, the young people from Longdu haven't changed at all compared to more than ten years ago.
It's still more comfortable being a local police officer in Jiangcheng.
Wang Qingyun concealed his aura.
That domineering aura, capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, vanished instantly.
He reverted to his lazy demeanor.
However, that face, which was originally in his fifties, is now frozen in time to the resolute appearance of someone in his early thirties.
He lit a new cigarette.
He gave vague instructions: "You guys handle the rest."
"Remember, not a single word of what happened today is to be revealed to anyone not present."
"Especially regarding 'me' and 'heretical paths'."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite..."
"yes!"
Ye Tong's expression was tense.
His gaze toward Wang Qingyun had shifted from one of exploitation to one of profound awe.
Only true strength can win people's hearts and minds.
In particular, this powerful figure also killed a legendary assassin who had committed numerous evil deeds.
Wang Qingyun waved his hand.
He turned around, ready to leave.
But after taking only two steps, he stopped again.
His gaze swept across the chaotic square, as if searching for something.
"Huh? Where's that kid?"
Ye Tong knew perfectly well that the "kid" he was referring to was Chen Yifan.
Ye Tong was taken aback.
Right, where is Chen Yifan?
The boy who was at the center of the storm from beginning to end, and even personally lit the fuse of this grand drama.
It disappeared completely just now.
"Perhaps... they took advantage of the chaos to hide, or ran away?"
Night Eyes guessed.
"Hide?"
A playful smile curved Wang Qingyun's lips.
"This kid is as slippery as an eel; he's not likely to get into trouble."
He didn't look for it again.
He simply turned his back to Ye Tong and waved his hand again.
The figure walked away step by step into the distance.
"Let's call it a day. Remember to pay the full price."
"Also, I can't recover from this condition, so my retirement pension can't be cut short!"
Ye Tong watched his gradually disappearing figure, remaining silent for a long time.
He finally pulled out an encrypted phone and dialed the number.
"teacher……"
……
at the same time.
In an abandoned, unfinished building ten kilometers away from the city center square.
The shadow twitched.
Chen Yifan stumbled out of there, looking disheveled.
His face was deathly pale.
He was panting heavily.
Shadow Lurker!
This is also an ability that comes with the [All Thoughts Return to Shadow] talent.
Move in the shadows with 1000% increased speed, ignoring any physical obstacles.
Just now, he used this move.
The moment the attack succeeded, the psionic energy was completely depleted.
He vanished into the shadows, escaping the battlefield with unimaginable speed.
Stimulate!
That was fucking exciting!
They were playing a dangerous game right under the noses of Yanlong Wang Qingyun and the authorities.
If this were told to others, no one would believe it.
But at this moment, there was not a trace of lingering fear on his face.
There was only uncontrollable ecstasy.
He unfolded the two items wrapped in clothes.
A simple, unassuming black ring.
And two fist-sized statues, their surfaces covered with fine cracks, yet still exuding an ominous aura.
[Agon's Gaze]
He succeeded!
He not only stole Bai Xiang's two most important treasures in his life.
They also stole an attack skill that Bai Xiang had used.
One finger is silent.
Both are at the maximum level.
Chen Yifan was almost trembling as he probed his mental energy into the storage ring.
With Bai Xiang dead, the spiritual energy covering the storage ring has become extremely fragile.
"open!"
Chen Yifan rudely forced it open.
next second.
He was completely stunned.
The space inside the ring is not large, only a dozen cubic meters.
But what's piled up inside is enough to drive any professional crazy!
【Original Essence Crystallization】!
Two!
That's a priceless treasure that can raise your talent level.
Besides.
There were also various rare materials whose names he couldn't recall, but which were clearly priceless.
A dozen or so skill books with old, worn covers.
Each one exudes energy fluctuations of at least Grade A.
as well as……
At the very center, there was a sandalwood box sealed with layers of restrictions, and crystal cores that shimmered with different colored lights.
The crystal core of a strange beast?
Each one is about the size of a head.
It is rich in spiritual energy.
Unfortunately... you can only absorb and enhance your spiritual energy reserves after reaching the second job advancement, which is level 50.
but……
This is an absolute steal!
Chen Yifan felt his heart pounding like a drum.
Bai Xiang, that old monster, truly lives up to his reputation as a legendary assassin; his wealth is practically enough to rival that of a nation!
He forcibly suppressed the urge to take stock of the spoils of war for the time being.
His gaze fell on something else.
The cracked statue of the evil god.
This is the biggest gain from this adventure!
He took out the fragment of [Agern's Gaze] that he had unexpectedly obtained in a wild dungeon from his pocket.
The moment the fragments approached the statue itself.
Om-!
Both items simultaneously emitted a strong black light and a longing hum!
The fragments slipped from his hand.
It transformed into a streak of light.
It was aimed precisely at the damaged area on the statue.
Click.
A soft sound.
Like the last piece of a puzzle, it was perfectly fitted in.
The fragments merged perfectly with the original body.
And just then, in front of Chen Yifan...
A golden panel suddenly popped out!
Congratulations! You have obtained the Divine Item (Fragment) - Yagen's Gaze.
【Soul binding required?】
[Warning: This item contains the remnant will of an extraterrestrial evil god. Binding to it will have a very high probability of corrupting and assimilating you, turning you into the evil god's puppet!]
Chen Yifan stared at the glaring blood-red words before him, feeling as if an invisible giant hand was gripping his chest.
Without even thinking, I immediately refused.
This is not cowardice.
Rather, it is caution.
He's only level 25, and hasn't even completed his first reincarnation yet, and he's already trying to bind a god-level (crippled) evil god item?
That's not about seeking fortune through danger.
That's like turning on a light in the toilet—you're asking for trouble!
but……
He understood it even better.
An item that can drive a level 90 Bai Xiang mad and even summon the Demon Eye to suppress Wang Qingyun is definitely not just for show.
Moreover, Wang Qingyun's comment, "What a waste of this treasure," sparked a flash of inspiration in his mind.
This thing may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
"The remnant will of an extraterrestrial evil god..."
Chen Yifan muttered to himself.
Lightly touch the rough surface of the statue with your fingertips.
Could it be...
Is this the meaning of "heretical teachings"?
Using objects from outside the present world and employing certain methods to draw upon power from outside this world?
In order to break free from the rules of the so-called "world engine" mentioned by Bai Xiang and obtain greater power?
What is this force?
Energy matter?
Or the rules?
Or something else entirely.
But why is it detected by this world, and even generated as a notification message similar to a skill or item?
Chen Yifan was filled with questions.
The term "heretical sect" was also something he was hearing for the first time today.
There is a lack of useful information.
However, one thing is certain.
That means there's definitely something wrong with this world.
Otherwise, the concepts of "heretical power" and "heretical things" would not exist.
But how exactly to use it, how to do it...?
He didn't know.
Ask Wang Qingyun?
Do not make jokes.
Doesn't this amount to admitting guilt without being asked?
but……
His gaze fell on [Agern's gaze].
Cold and hard.
There were no signs of life.
"Secret investigation!"
