Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 263 Aftermath (Part 2)

'These are truly turbulent times...'

Deacon Yi rubbed his aching forehead and sighed again.

Nothing came of it...

As a result, tonight, a large number of alarm messages suddenly came in from within a few miles of Anyan City, reporting suspected demonic appearances!

Demons are not ordinary little monsters or ghosts; anything involving demons is a troublesome and extremely difficult matter.

Therefore, all the resources within the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs were mobilized, prioritizing the matter above all else, focusing on investigating and resolving it first. The first half of the night was incredibly busy for them, leaving them somewhat overwhelmed. In the latter half of the night, Deacon Yi thought he could finally close his eyes and rest, but unexpectedly, he was woken up just as he fell asleep at his table. He initially thought it was the Xuanjia Guards returning from handling some matters, but it turned out that another supernatural event had occurred in the city…

Coincidentally, the Heavenly Mirror had also been taken out by the Xuanjia Guards, so it hadn't been detected beforehand regarding the strange events happening in the city…

'This is really a headache...'

Deacon Yi cursed inwardly; this night had practically killed him!

He didn't say anything more, but instead called the constables and investigators behind him to come forward and bring out a number of tools, boxes, and miscellaneous items. He then led a few people forward to observe them up close.

"A ghostly realm?!" he exclaimed immediately, and the people behind him tensed up.

He observed carefully for a while, then took out a yellow talisman and gently tossed it forward. With a snap, it hit the door precisely.

laugh!

A plume of white smoke drifted out, as if yellow paper had come into contact with some kind of flame, and a strong, foul stench spread out.

Qu Jingxian, Huang Ze, and the others approached to observe. They watched as the yellow talisman was first invaded by black, then merged with it, and finally rapidly shrank and disappeared, leaving only wisps of white smoke.

"Gray area, this is a gray area that's about to take shape?!"

Deacon Yi's expression immediately turned serious. On his way here, he thought it was just an ordinary supernatural event. He never expected that a strange domain would be forming in the city.

If minor ghosts and demons are beings that can be eliminated by a martial artist with abundant qi and blood, then demons must be troublesome beings that can only be dealt with by a martial artist using specific tools.

But no matter what, there are ways to deal with these demons and monsters; it's just a matter of how much it costs.

The Ghost Realm, however, is different. It is a special landscape that cannot be destroyed at all, or it can be described as a special phenomenon.

Once the Ghost Realm appears, it will expand outwards in a disorderly manner, widening its boundaries until a boundary is reached, but no one knows where this boundary is or why.

The gray area is also a type of ghost area, actually the lowest level of ghost area.

The most distinctive feature of the Ghost Realm is that it exists forever; once it takes shape, it cannot be destroyed. In any case, in Deacon Yi's understanding, it cannot be destroyed.

"Stop just talking, what should we do now? Is there any way to get rid of this eerie realm?"

Qu Jingxian couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted Steward Yi's explanation.

“There are solutions, of course… but…” Butler Yi’s voice became low and hoarse.

The Ghost Domain has not yet taken shape. As long as the Heavenly Mirror is present, a full-force attack, expending a large amount of reserves, should be able to break through this Ghost Domain.

But…...

The magical artifact, the Heavenly Mirror, had already been taken away by the Xuanjia Guards long ago…

"I've already sent the signal; the two commanders of the Xuanjia Guard will be back soon. They'll deal with the Ghost Realm first..."

Deacon I continued.

"Isn't there a faster way besides this? At least, we should do something now, right?"

Qu Jingxian looked dissatisfied and spoke anxiously. In his view, these paranormal events were the responsibility of the Department of Extraordinary Affairs, but at this point, they were still saying that they could only wait.

He's already been waiting for half a day; if he keeps waiting like this, when will it ever end?

"way…..."

Deacon Yi looked up at the sky, his voice becoming incredibly hoarse: "The only way is to wait... we can only wait..."

----------------------------------------------

After a long time...

Everyone felt that it was getting light.

"No, it's not dawn yet, look inside!"

Suddenly, everyone looked up and saw that the gray fog that had been swirling around the perimeter seemed to be gradually dissipating.

Through the faint veil of dust, everyone could clearly see that inside the black market, a great fire was burning, evaporating the eerie atmosphere that shrouded the black market.

call! !

Suddenly, the fire intensified, piercing the sky, and billowing black smoke blanketed the heavens, while the ash on the gate had completely vanished…

"Someone sabotaged the Ghost Realm from within?!"

Deacon Yi was utterly shocked. This was simply unbelievable. Although the Ghost Domain was not yet fully formed, anyone who tried to resolve it would provoke a fierce counterattack, and few people could withstand such a counterattack.

According to the people from the Crimson Flame Sect, there were only a few disciples at the Blood Refining and Bone Refining stages inside. With their combat strength, how could they possibly...?

"Men, blow open the gates to this black market!"

Seeing that the terrifyingly destructive gray mist on the gate seemed to have truly disappeared, Qu Jingxian disregarded everything and directly ordered several disciples to carry wooden blocks and smash them fiercely against the gate.

…....

…....

In the black market, the first rays of dawn pierced through the dust and flames, casting their light on everyone's faces.

Han Yi, Shen San, and the others squinted and looked up at the dimly lit sky.

Before I knew it, I had made it through the night.

The heat was intense. The group had all retreated to an open space, but even with the open space providing shelter, the scorching heat emanating from the black market still made everyone's faces flush and their bodies feel hot.

The blazing flames, like a giant pillar of fire rising from the depths of the earth, seemed intent on burning away all that was unclean, filthy, and evil in the world.

The Yangyan Arrow that Han Yi released exploded and ignited everything. What was originally just a yellow flame had now turned into a reddish-purple color.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, a dull thud came from the gate, and outside, it sounded like countless people making a ruckus.

Clearly, outsiders discovered the anomaly in the black market and came to the rescue.

"Saved?!" One disciple burst into tears; for him, the ordeal of that night was no different from being in hell.

The ghosts, demons, and possession he experienced that night completely shattered his worldview.

Soon, a loud crash came from the gate, and the two large, black iron gates, several meters high, collapsed to the ground.

A large group of people rushed in.

As soon as they entered, they saw Han Yi and his group slowly walking towards them.

"Han Yi, are you alright?!"

Huang Ze was overjoyed. When he saw the firelight in the black market, he knew that there must still be people alive, so he still held a sliver of hope in his heart.

Now that his suspicions were confirmed, he was overjoyed.

Your injury…

When he got closer and saw the injuries on Han Yi's body, he was immediately shocked.

"A doctor! Quickly, call a doctor!"

As he shouted, he ordered his men to rush toward Han Yi in three strides.

"and many more!"

Deacon Yi, leading several constables, first stopped the group.

"Anyone leaving the Ghost Realm needs to be checked!" He still couldn't quite believe it; it felt unbelievable.

Regardless, these people need to be tested.

"Uncanny Realm?"

Han Yi's gaze sharpened. Dan Yangzi had gone to such great lengths to carry out this blood sacrifice; was it all for this purpose?

Before he could think any further, Butler Yi took out a rod-shaped object that looked like it was made of glass or crystal.

Sunlight streamed in from the side of the crystal, making the layer of mythical beast patterns on its surface shimmer. Without a word, Steward Yi swiftly ordered his men to step forward and have each of them drip a drop of blood onto it.

Qu Jingxian, Huang Ze, and the others, although unhappy with the actions of the Strange Affairs Bureau, knew that it was a precautionary measure. They were able to come out of the Ghost Realm alive, but if they brought out some evil spirits or ghosts, it would be difficult to deal with.

A drop of blood was placed on it, and under the light, the glass crystal faintly showed a blood-like shimmering color, but there was nothing else unusual about it.

“…..”

Deacon Yi had nothing more to say, but he still wanted to ask how Han Yi and the others had resolved the matter.

thump~

But before he could ask, Han Yi suddenly swayed a few times, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

"Doctor, quick!"

Since everything was alright, Qu Jingxian, Huang Ze, and the others could no longer restrain themselves. They shoved Steward Yi aside and rushed to Han Yi, summoning a physician to treat him.

"It's nothing serious. He just lost a lot of blood, and the temporary fainting was caused by exhaustion, shock, and pain from his wound. There's nothing to worry about his life."

Soon, an elderly doctor with white hair and beard, carrying a medicine box, strode over and gave his diagnosis.

"That's good..." Huang Ze breathed a sigh of relief. This was his best friend's only successor. If he had died here, he would have had a hard time explaining it to Bai Sanren.

Afterwards, Han Yi was gently lifted onto a stretcher by several people and sent back to rest.

----------------------------------------------

The cool sunlight shone in from the side of the window frame, and through the latticed window, it fell on the ground and turned into all sorts of crooked patterns.

"Cough cough..." "Master Han, you're awake?"

The coughing startled a figure by the bedside; it was none other than Shen San, who had been following Han Yi.

He quickly got up and went to check on Han Yi's injuries.
