Chapter 180 Blood Spirit Forbidden Scripture

The mysterious man was completely shrouded in a black robe, obscuring his face. After exchanging a few words, the mysterious man handed Fang Yongkang a small bottle.

The team immediately began to closely monitor the alchemist and tried to track down the mysterious man's whereabouts.

The team investigating the guards also made progress. They discovered that several guards' patrol routes were noticeably abnormal on the night Bei Chenyao was poisoned, as if they were deliberately avoiding a certain area.

Following this lead, they discovered that the area was connected to an abandoned warehouse within the palace.

Upon learning the news, Gu Changzhou immediately led a group of experts to the abandoned warehouse to investigate.

Meanwhile, Liu Sijun was still intently studying the runes on the secret door.

She discovered that the runes intertwined to form a complex array.

This formation contains ancient and mysterious power. If it is broken rashly, it may trigger the mechanism and bring unpredictable dangers.

She took a deep breath, circulated her spiritual power, and channeled her understanding of rune formations into her fingertips, gently touching the runes on the secret door.

As she moved, the runes flashed, as if responding to her exploration.

Following the veins of the runes, Liu Sijun tried to guide their movement with spiritual power, as if he were solving a complex puzzle.

After a series of difficult attempts, the runes on the secret door finally lit up in a specific order, emitting a low rumble.

The door to the secret room slowly opened, and an old, musty smell wafted out, mixed with a faint scent of blood.

Holding the Taixu Mirror, Liu Sijun carefully stepped into the secret chamber.

The secret chamber was dimly lit, with stone coffins placed around the perimeter. In the center stood a stone platform on which rested an ancient book that emitted an eerie glow.

As Liu Sijun approached the stone platform, the light emanating from the ancient book suddenly intensified, forcing her to squint.

When the light dimmed slightly, Liu Sijun looked closely and saw several ancient characters engraved on the cover of the ancient book. Despite the passage of time, they were still clearly legible—"The Blood Spirit Forbidden Codex".

A chill ran through her as she immediately realized that this ancient book was closely related to the Blood Spirit Cult.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the secret room.

"I never expected that someone could break into this place. Young lady, you are very capable."

A phantom figure slowly emerged from behind the stone coffin. The person's face was blurred, and he exuded an evil aura.

Liu Sijun looked warily at the illusory figure before him and asked loudly, "Who are you? What is your relationship with the Blood Spirit Sect? Is the late emperor's poisoning related to you?"

The illusory figure sneered: "Who I am is unimportant. What's important is that none of you will leave here alive. As for the late emperor being poisoned, that was just part of our plan."

Liu Sijun was furious. She activated the Taixu Mirror with all her might, and a beam of light containing powerful purification energy shot out from the mirror, heading towards the illusory figure.

The illusory figure flashed and easily avoided the beam of light.

"Is that all you've got? Looks like you're nothing special."

The illusory figure mocked.

Liu Sijun knew that her opponent was no easy opponent. She quickly adjusted her state, circulated her spiritual power, and used the "Spiritual Illusionary Step". Her figure transformed into several phantoms and attacked the illusory figures from different directions.

Meanwhile, the Mirror of Emptiness continuously emitted runic rays, attempting to disrupt the illusory figure's movements. Upon seeing this, the illusory figure rapidly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

In an instant, the stone coffins in the secret chamber trembled, the lids slowly opened, and a group of zombies dressed in blood-red robes crawled out.

These zombies moved nimbly, exuding a nauseating stench, and pounced on Liu Sijun.

Liu Sijun frowned as she dodged the zombies' attacks while searching for weaknesses in the illusory figure.

Only by defeating the illusory figure can the truth behind the late emperor's poisoning be revealed.

During the fierce battle, Liu Sijun noticed that the illusory figure's left ring finger would tremble slightly every time it cast a spell, as if it was deliberately hiding something.

A thought struck her, and she guessed that this might be the weakness of the illusory figure.

Liu Sijun feigned weakness, deliberately revealing a flaw, which provoked the illusory figure to launch an even stronger attack.

Just as the illusory figure approached, Liu Sijun suddenly turned around, a long sword suddenly appearing in his hand. He unleashed the "Starry Sky-Splitting Slash," a sword aura containing powerful stellar energy, carrying the momentum to tear through space, slashing towards the illusory figure's left hand.

The illusory figure couldn't dodge in time; the sword energy sliced ​​across his left hand, leaving a crack in his illusory body. He let out a painful roar.

The zombies also seemed to be affected, their movements becoming sluggish.

They've encountered many things these days, and when they have some free time, Gu Changzhou would discuss magic with her, which came in handy.

Liu Sijun seized the opportunity and activated the Taixu Mirror with all his might, unleashing the "Taixu Purification Technique," which enveloped the entire secret chamber with a powerful purifying force.

Under the power of purification, the illusory figures and zombies let out screams and their bodies gradually dissipated.

As the phantom figures and zombies disappeared, the secret room returned to peace.

Liu Sijun stepped forward, picked up the "Blood Spirit Forbidden Codex," and prepared to take it back for careful study, as it might contain the key clues to unravel all the mysteries.

Meanwhile, Gu Changzhou and his team made new progress in their investigation of the abandoned warehouse passageway. Continuing deeper into the passageway, they discovered a hidden room.

The room contained some strange experimental equipment, as well as letters documenting the collusion between the Blood Spirit Cult and the Mysterious Hall.

The letter stated that they intended to exploit the late emperor's illness by poisoning him to hasten his death, thereby instigating internal strife in the court so that they could profit from it.

Gu Changzhou looked at these letters, his heart filled with rage.

He put the letter in the container, searched it again to make sure nothing was missing, and then left to meet up with Liu Sijun.

The two immediately shared their findings with each other, and then met with Bei Chenshu together.

Bei Chenshu looked at the Blood Spirit Forbidden Scripture and the letters laid out before him, his expression grave: "It seems the Blood Spirit Sect and the Xuanji Hall have been colluding for a long time, their wolfish ambitions are blatantly obvious. Miss Liu, do you have any clues about this Blood Spirit Forbidden Scripture?"

Liu Sijun said, "Your Highness, I need some time to carefully study this 'Blood Spirit Forbidden Codex'. The runes and records in it may hold the key to breaking their conspiracy, but we cannot be sure at the moment."

Bei Chenshu nodded: "Alright, Miss Liu, please be careful and prioritize your own safety. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."

Back at his residence, Liu Sijun immediately immersed himself in studying the "Blood Spirit Forbidden Codex".

She perused the ancient texts day and night, using her spiritual power to sense the hidden aura within them. During her research, Liu Sijun discovered that the "Blood Spirit Forbidden Codex" contained an evil spell called the "Blood Spirit Curse." Casting this spell required the sacrifice of a large number of living people to gather evil power.
