Fairy Eye
Chapter 27 The Case
Han Lin didn't immediately check what was inside the storage bag; his first thought was how to dispose of Zhao Ruiling's body.
Zhao Ruiling was different from ordinary servants. It was said that he had powerful backers in the sect. His death would have a greater impact than that of others.
If not handled properly, the consequences are unimaginable.
After much deliberation, Han Lin decided to use the old method.
He first cleaned up the traces left by the battle, then put Zhao Ruiling's body into a storage bag and headed towards the depths of a dense forest north of the Milky Way Valley.
There was a deep pit in the dense forest, and inside was a python, as thick as a water bucket.
When Han Lin came to deal with Zeng Ping and the other man's bodies last time, he encountered this creature and was truly terrified. Fortunately, this python was just large in size and not a real demonic beast, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble.
But this led him to a good idea, so he simply threw the bodies of Yue Qingshan and Zeng Ping to the python.
This time was no different; Han Lin felt that this method was more reliable than destroying the body and covering up the evidence.
After all, the construction of the Milky Way Valley will eventually be pushed to this place. When that happens, if someone kills this python and sees the bones inside its belly, everything will make perfect sense.
When Han Lin returned to the edge of the sinkhole, he looked down and, sure enough, the python was still there, its two bright green eyes sending chills down his spine.
Upon seeing Han Lin, the python hissed and its head snapped back up.
"Here you go!" Although Han Lin was already a cultivator, he still couldn't help but feel a chill when faced with such a behemoth.
With his palm pressed against the storage bag's surface, he used the little true energy he had just recovered to take out Zhao Ruiling's corpse and throw it violently at the python.
The python's eyes lit up, and with a snap of its jaws, it bit Zhao Ruiling, rolled him around in its mouth a few times, and then swallowed him whole.
Then he stared intently at Han Lin, as if he still had something to say.
"That's all."
Han Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he took off running.
hiss!
The python hissed and sprang out of the pit, chasing after Han Lin. But Han Lin knew that the creature wouldn't leave the forest, so he wasn't too worried.
Sure enough, when he escaped from the woods and came to the wasteland outside, the python seemed to have some reservations and stopped chasing him.
Han Lin breathed a sigh of relief, went to a small river, washed the blood off his body, and bandaged his wounds.
Immediately afterwards, he took out Zhao Ruiling's storage bag and began to inspect it.
The storage bag contained quite a few things, but most of them were everyday items, such as clothes, pots and pans, and the like.
There are only two things that truly catch Han Lin's eye.
The first is the points card.
There are over 500 points.
This thing is anonymous; all the points cards look the same, so he can use them with complete peace of mind.
The other item was a spellbook called "Water Prison Spell".
After Han Lin looked through it, he discovered that this technique was actually a genuine Yellow-rank spell, with power far exceeding that of entry-level spells.
Although it was mentioned above that one must be at least at the fourth level of Qi Refining to cultivate, it was enough to make Han Lin extremely happy.
It is said that Yellow-rank spells are not cheap, and even formal disciples need to pay a great price to obtain them.
"I can keep the points card, but the spells and storage bag are a bit harder to deal with."
"And this short sword, if someone searches me and it's exposed, it might cause some trouble."
After the inventory was completed, Han Lin sat on the ground, looking conflicted.
"If only I could advance my Heavenly Eye to Silver Eye. It's said that once you reach Silver Eye, you'll gain a personal space that outsiders can search without being able to detect."
According to past traditions and memories.
The Heavenly Eye has nine forms.
The initial state is as it is now, known as Gray Eyes, with time accelerated tenfold, granting the talent of keen insight.
The second stage is Silver Eyes, which accelerates time twenty times and activates the Heavenly Treasury, which can be used for storage.
The third stage is Azure Eyes, which accelerates time by thirty times and activates the Heavenly Herb Garden, which can be used to grow spiritual herbs.
The fourth stage is Purple Eyes, which accelerates time by forty times and activates the talent Eye of Replication, allowing one to instantly comprehend martial arts techniques.
The fifth stage is Red Eyes, which accelerates time fifty times and activates the talent Eye of Illusion, allowing one to see through all illusions and not be trapped by inner demons.
The sixth stage is the Golden Eye, which accelerates time sixty times and activates the innate Eye of Cause and Effect, allowing one to see through the cause and effect carried by others.
The seventh stage is Black Pupil, which accelerates time seventy times and activates the innate Eye of Reincarnation, allowing one to see the river of time and witness the past and present lives of others.
The eighth stage is the Seven-Colored Immortal Eyes, which accelerates time eighty times and activates the talent Eye of Boundary Breaking, allowing one to ignore the rules of heaven and earth.
The ninth stage is the Nine-Colored Divine Eye, which accelerates time by a hundred times and activates the innate Eye of the World God, making one the only one who reigns supreme within sight.
But while it sounds exciting, actually activating these abilities is almost impossible.
Let alone the Nine-Colored Divine Eyes of the Ninth Stage, even the Silver Eyes of the Second Stage seemed unattainable to Han Lin.
To achieve the Silver Eyes, one must provide the Eye of Heaven with a full ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Ten thousand!
At his current rate of earning one spirit stone a month, he probably has no hope in this lifetime.
Moreover, even if he really had ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, he might not be willing to use them to evolve the Eye of Heaven.
After all, with so many spirit stones, if he used them for cultivation, his cultivation level would definitely skyrocket.
"Forget about the Eye of Heaven for now!"
"I should find a place to hide the manual, storage bag, and short sword first." With that thought, Han Lin got up and walked away.
……
Just as Han Lin had predicted.
The news of Zhao Ruiling's disappearance was detonated in Galaxy Valley the very next day.
Whether it was because of Zhao Ruiling's identity or the series of disappearances, Kong He felt provoked.
He was extremely angry about Zhao Ruiling's disappearance.
After finishing work in the evening, he gathered everyone together, gave them a stern reprimand, and declared on the spot that he would not rest until the matter was thoroughly investigated.
They offered generous rewards, with anyone who could provide useful clues receiving a large reward.
Those who conceal or fail to report such cases will be punished the same as the murderer if the truth is discovered in the future!
This caused an uproar throughout the camp, with everyone wondering if they had any connection to the mysterious killer.
At this moment, an unremarkable-looking young man at the first level of Qi Refining slowly walked out: "Steward, I have something to say."
Seeing this, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Kong He's eyes lit up: "You're Zhu Hao, right? Do you have any leads? Speak up quickly, and if it helps in this case, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Yes."
Zhu Hao bowed and said, "Reporting to the steward, it's like this: last night I personally saw Senior Brother Zhao leave the camp with Han Lin."
"But today, Han Lin has returned, while Senior Brother Zhao is nowhere to be found. I don't know if there's any connection between the two, so I implore you, Steward, to investigate..."
Han Lin!
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze instantly fell upon Han Lin. The people around him immediately distanced themselves from him, isolating him.
