I forcefully pried open the stone slab.
Crack!
In an instant, a strong smell of blood rushed toward me!
This was actually the entrance to a hidden cellar!
We slowly stepped inside, allowing our eyes to adjust to the darkness, while A Jing reminded me to replace the stone slab back in its original position.
The space of the cellar was small but arranged in an extremely eerie manner. In the center of the floor was a massive magic circle, surrounded by various artifacts I had never seen before.
The edges of the magic circle were stained with numerous mottled and dried bloodstains, clearly indicating it had been used many times before.
What was most shocking was that in the corner lay a pile of small demon corpses, some of which had shriveled to nothing but skin and bones, as if their demon power had been completely drained, their faces still contorted in expressions of agony from their last moments.
This was clearly a slaughter chamber!
I unconsciously clenched my fists… those beasts!
Standing beside me, Xiao Hei Mao remained silent. I turned to look at it and found it staring intently at the corpses of the small demons.
Xiao Hei's fur began to bristle, and it trembled slightly as strange black demonic energy surged from its body in waves!
Its originally aloof golden eyes turned blood-red, filled with intense killing intent!
A Jing whispered urgently in my arms, "Xiaoman! Quickly control Xiao Hei, or we’ll be in big trouble!"
I quickly reached out my hand, a layer of pale blue spiritual energy appearing as I pressed it firmly on Xiao Hei Mao's head.
"Xiao Hei, calm down! I know you're upset, but now is not the time to act!"
After a moment, Xiao Hei Mao finally began to calm down, retracting its demonic energy.
But it was already too late.
The massive amount of demonic energy it had just released had attracted the attention of the disciples guarding outside.
We could already hear the sound of the stone slab being moved at the entrance of the cellar!
"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath and quickly pushed Xiao Hei Mao into a corner behind a pile of ghouls. "Hide! Don’t show your head!"
I cautiously concealed myself behind a cabinet filled with artifacts.
Just as I had hidden away, footsteps appeared on the stairs, about four or five people. The sound of their footsteps grew closer... They were less than three steps away from us!
The group walked right up to the cabinet where I was hiding, and I could clearly hear the rustling of their clothes and even catch a faint scent of camphor wood. I gripped the Copper Scraper tightly, ready to spring out at any moment.
Fortunately, they looked around but found nothing unusual. One disciple pointed at the edge of the formation and said, "Has it always been like this? Why do I feel that the demonic energy is heavier today than usual?"
"Not really... But it is quite eerie here. The clan leader instructed us not to touch anything. Since there's nothing abnormal, let's hurry up and leave!" another disciple replied.
After that, the group slowly retreated. I waited until the Azure Stone Slate was covered again and the footsteps had completely faded before jumping out and pulling the curled-up Xiao Hei Mao from behind the pile of corpses, cradling it in my arms.
Next, I took out a copper mirror from my pocket and aimed it at the formation in the Cellar and the corner where the Ghoul was located, instructing A Jing to record everything. A Jing could permanently capture and store the visual information before us—blood-stained walls and floors, heaps of demon corpses, and the sinister demon-refining formation...
This was evidence that Jiang Haotian had used the Refining Demon Technique to harm demon beings! After collecting the evidence, I carefully followed Su Yan's instructions and tucked her copper coin into a small crack in the wall of the Cellar.
Once all this was done, I quietly crawled out of the Cellar while holding Xiao Hei Mao. I couldn't stand being in that place for another second!
