Chapter 557: Severely Injured Dark Spirit Eye
Three miles away, in a secluded mansion, Wang Tianyi was observing everything on the platform in real time through the spiritual perspective of his Dark Spirit Child. He threw his head back and let out a wild laugh: "You think you can break my Dark Spirit Child? Die, all of you!"
Having said that, he formed a hand seal and chanted a control incantation: "Dark Spirit Children, slaughter them all, the bigger the commotion, the better!"
Having received its master's command, the dark spirit child became even more ferocious, its black aura surging as it frantically pounced on those around it. A policeman who couldn't dodge in time had his arm torn off instantly by the spirit child, his piercing scream echoing across the platform.
"You beast! How dare you inflict such harm!" Xuan Yangzi, enduring excruciating pain, stood up, his eyes blazing with fury. "If I do not destroy you today, I will have no face to face the ancestors of Qingxuan Temple!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a gilded token from his robes—the treasure of Qingxuan Temple, the Celestial Master's Token. Xuan Yangzi spat a mouthful of blood onto the token, raised it high with both hands, and loudly chanted an incantation to summon the gods:
"Xuan Yangzi, the twenty-eighth abbot of Qingxuan Temple, respectfully requests that all the patriarchs possess me and assist me in exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path!"
The moment the incantation was uttered, golden light shot into the sky from the Celestial Master's Token, completely enveloping Xuan Yangzi. The peach wood sword in his hand, enhanced by the golden light, became even heavier and sharper, seemingly forged from fine steel, exuding an awe-inspiring power.
Xuan Yangzi's body blazed with golden light, and he gripped the peach wood sword with sudden force, the blade carrying a sharp Daoist aura as he slashed fiercely at the Dark Spirit Child.
Upon seeing this, the Dark Spirit Child immediately let out an extremely piercing shriek. The shriek carried an extremely strong sinister and malevolent aura, so shrill that it pierced the eardrums. The police officers present instantly covered their ears, feeling dizzy and falling straight to the ground, unable to move.
Unaffected by the shriek, Xuan Yangzi's gaze remained fixed intently on the Dark Spirit Child. Sensing the deadly danger, the Dark Spirit Child hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was too late. The golden peach wood sword snapped and lodged itself squarely in its shoulder.
Seeing this, Xuan Yangzi roared and forcefully thrust the peach wood sword into the Dark Spirit Child's body. The golden light from the sword instantly scorched the child's dark flesh, sending up plumes of black smoke, causing the Dark Spirit Child to convulse violently in pain. Terrified, it only wanted to escape, but the peach wood sword stuck in its shoulder continuously drained its evil power, greatly weakening its strength.
In desperation, the Dark Spirit Child revealed its ferocity, swinging its other hand and tearing off its arm that had been pierced by the peach wood sword. The moment the arm was severed, dense black energy enveloped its entire body, using it as cover to escape into the boundless darkness and flee in panic.
Seeing that the spirit child had escaped by injuring himself, Xuan Yangzi immediately leaped off the second-floor platform and chased after the direction where the black energy had dissipated. However, the dark spirit child was extremely fast and disappeared into the chaotic crowd outside the Cloud Top Building in an instant.
The sudden appearance of the dark spirit child instantly caused chaos among the crowd. Screams, cries, and shoving filled the air, and the scene spiraled completely out of control. Xuan Yangzi frowned deeply, looking at the chaotic crowd before him, his heart filled with helplessness. The chaotic throng obscured his vision and blocked his pursuit. By the time he pushed through the crowd to give chase again, the dark spirit child had already vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, in a secluded mansion three miles away, Wang Tianyi was connecting with the Dark Spirit Child through his spiritual sense. The moment the Spirit Child's arm was severed and his evil power greatly diminished, a backlash suddenly struck, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood and his face to turn deathly pale.
Wang Tianyi clutched his chest, his eyes filled with boundless hatred, and gritted his teeth as he cursed, "Xuan Yangzi! How dare you harm my Dark Spirit Child! This is an irreconcilable feud! I will never let you get away with this!"
Police quickly dispersed all bystanders, leaving only the Zhou father and daughter and Xuan Yangzi inside the cordon. They were then taken to the police station along with the body found at the scene.
Considering that the wounds on the corpses were tainted with evil spirits and that touching them would trigger bizarre symptoms, all the corpses were bound and wrapped with specially made talismanic ropes by Xuan Yangzi, who personally handled the entire process. These evil spirits, which would be fatal to ordinary people, were utterly insignificant to Xuan Yangzi, who had practiced Xuanmen Taoist arts for many years.
The police station quickly became noisy. Listening to his subordinate's detailed report, the chief couldn't help but glance out the window, his gaze landing on Xuan Yangzi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe. He turned to Han Quan, the captain of the action team, and asked gravely, "What you just said, is it all true?"
Han Quan nodded vigorously, his voice still trembling with fear: "Director, it's absolutely true, we saw it with our own eyes! That strange doll called Dark Spirit Child was impervious to swords and spears. If it weren't for that Taoist priest outside severely injuring it with a peach wood sword, forcing it to sever its arm and escape, we might not have made it back to see you alive."
The bureau chief frowned, his face growing increasingly grim. No one had expected that an ordinary murder case would lead to such an unbelievable and bizarre event.
In the police station lobby, Zhou Zhengxian, looking distressed, was cooperating with the police to explain the situation regarding the Cloud Top Building; on the other side, a young policewoman surrounded Xuan Yangzi, speaking to him enthusiastically: "Master, how do you usually cultivate?"
Xuan Yangzi replied calmly, "I cultivate in seclusion in the mountains, diligently seeking enlightenment from the scriptures within the temple."
The policewoman's eyes were full of curiosity as she pressed on, "Are there many people with abilities like yours? Can you fly, teleport, or control the wind and rain?"
Xuan Yangzi gently shook his head, his tone calm: "This humble Taoist only knows some rudimentary spells. I have not mastered supernatural abilities such as flying and escaping."
Amidst the commotion inside the police station, two figures dressed in black trench coats suddenly burst through the door. A distinctive dragon emblem embroidered on the coat lapel stood out prominently. The on-duty officer immediately tensed up and rushed forward to stop them: "Who are you? What are you doing at the police station?"
One of them, expressionless, pulled out his badge and said in a steady, powerful voice, "We are from the National Special Paranormal Security Bureau. From this moment on, we will take full control of this case."
The on-duty police officer glanced at the rank on the document and was shocked to find it was the same as the police chief's. He rushed to the chief's office, shouting, "Chief, something's wrong! Two people have arrived and say they want to take over our case!"
The police chief frowned upon hearing this, his face showing displeasure: "Who dares to overstep their authority and take over a case at the police station?"
Before he could finish speaking, the two men in black had already entered the office and handed their identification to the bureau chief. The bureau chief's pupils contracted sharply as he recognized the official seal on the identification—he had heard of this special department directly under the state, but never imagined he would see it in person. He dared not delay and immediately stood up: "I will process the case transfer procedures immediately."
Xuan Yangzi, standing to the side, frowned slightly as he looked at the two men in black. He keenly sensed that the two men possessed magical energy of the same origin as his own, making them no ordinary people.
Shortly after, two men in black walked straight towards the morgue. Seeing them about to touch the body, the police officer guarding the morgue quickly stopped them, shouting, "Stop! You can't touch this body! Something bad will happen!"
The two men seemed oblivious, walking straight forward to untie the talisman binding the corpse and touching its wounds directly. The police officers standing nearby were terrified, but the expected eerie situation did not occur—the two men were not only unaffected by the evil energy, but also showed a hint of disgust. After their examination, they casually clapped their hands as if they had only touched something dirty.
The two then approached Xuan Yangzi, Zhou Zhengxian, and Zhou Weiran, presented their identification, and said bluntly, "Hello, we are from the Special Intelligence Bureau. This case is now under our jurisdiction. Please tell us the truth about what happened."
Xuan Yangzi did not hide anything and recounted the whole process of encountering the Dark Spirit Child, fighting and severely injuring the opponent, and the Spirit Child escaping with a severed arm.
After hearing the account, the man named Tianming looked at Xuan Yangzi, his tone scrutinizing: "You said you injured it and even cut off one of its arms?"
Xuan Yangzi nodded: "Exactly."
Tianming said calmly, "You do have some skill, but that's all."
Tianyang patted Tianming on the shoulder and interrupted, "Alright, enough talk. Let's go to the crime scene first. Maybe we can find some useful clues."
