Chapter 780: Emergency Jade
Li Yang squatted down and looked at Prince 꺘 carefully.
At this time, Prince 꺘 had completely lost his human form, and his whole body was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His skin was a strange blue-gray color, covered with black spots of various sizes.
From these black spots, smelly pus continued to seep out, emitting a disgusting smell.
Prince 꺘's eyes had completely lost their spirit, leaving only two empty eye sockets.
His mouth was wide open, revealing a mouthful of uneven black teeth, looking like a thousand-year-old zombie.
"Li... Taoist Li..." Prince Li spoke with difficulty, his voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, "Save...save you..."
Li Yang shook his head: "Sorry, I can't help you."
"The Poison Dragon Cult's soul transfer technique has completely destroyed your body and soul... You can no longer be called a human being."
When Prince Li heard this, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.
"Then...then what should I do..." He muttered to himself, "I don't want to die...I don't want to die like this..."
Li Yang sighed: "You are dead, Prince Li."
"You are just a walking corpse controlled by evil magic."
"Instead of continuing to endure this pain, it is better to be free as soon as possible."
As he said, Li Yang took out a talisman from his pocket.
Seeing this, Prince 꺘 suddenly became excited: "No... don't kill you... you don't want to die yet..."
Li Yang ignored his pleading and pasted the talisman on Prince 꺘's forehead.
"Rest in peace."
As Li Yang's voice fell, the talisman suddenly burned, emitting a dazzling golden light.
Prince 꺘 let out a shrill scream, and his whole body instantly turned into a pile of ashes.
Just then, the prince came over.
"Master Li, are you okay?" The prince asked concernedly.
Li Yang shook his head: "It's okay. But Your Highness, why did you show up at this time?"
The prince smiled:
"I have been secretly investigating Uncle You. When I learned that you came alone to investigate, I immediately brought people here."
Li Yang nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness... If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have to leave here today."
The prince waved his hand: "Master Li, you don't have to be polite. This time, thanks to you, we can expose the conspiracy of the Poison Dragon Cult."
As he said, his eyes fell on the pile of ashes on the ground.
"This is..."
Li Yang sighed: "This is the end of Prince You."
"It's really sad and lamentable that he was used by the Poison Dragon Cult and ended up like this."
The prince's face became a little ugly when he heard this.
Although the prince did many wrong things, he is his uncle after all.
Now seeing him end up like this, the prince can't help but sigh.
Just then, a guard ran over.
"Your Highness, we have caught a few people from the Poison Dragon Cult, but the old man escaped."
The prince nodded: "I know, keep tracking, and we will definitely catch that guy."
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
The prince turned to Li Yang: "Master Li, what should we do next?"
Li Yang pondered for a moment and said: "Although the people of the Poison Dragon Cult have been temporarily repelled, they will definitely not give up."
"Since they are so interested in your country, if you want to stay in power, it is best to catch these people in one fell swoop and get rid of them once and for all."
The prince nodded in agreement: "Indeed... However, this may not be so easy."
"The Poison Dragon Cult has been hiding for many years and has a deep foundation."
"If you want to completely eradicate them, it may take a lot of time and energy."
Li Yang smiled: "Your Highness is right, but having this idea is already a big step forward."
"As long as we follow the existing clues, it won't take long to find the poison dragon. The lair of the Dragon Cult. "
The prince heard this and showed some praise in his eyes:
"Master Li is right."
"But Daxing has been isolated from such strange and supernatural things for many years...If we deal with it, it will be very difficult."
"I wonder if Master Li can lend a hand again to help the people of Daxing get rid of evil and promote good?"
"After the matter is done, the people will be grateful!"
Li Yang nodded slightly: "Okay, I will try my best to investigate this matter."
"But now..." He paused, "I still want to rest first..."
The prince hurriedly said: "This is natural! Master Li's body is tight, I will ask the imperial doctor to continue to treat you."
"After your injury is healed, we will discuss the next plan."
Li Yang nodded in agreement.
In this way, the two talked for a while, and the prince left with the imperial guards.
Li Yang stayed where he was and checked the abandoned house a little, hoping to find some useful clues.
Whether it was the Poison Dragon Cult or the prince.
They all ran to this abandoned house.
This place must be hiding something.
Unfortunately, after a careful search, there was nothing special found in the whole yard except some rotten furniture.
It seems that the people of the Poison Dragon Cult had disposed of all the things that might expose their identities when they left.
Li Yang sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a slightly raised floor tile in the corner.
He walked over and carefully pried open the floor tile.
Unexpectedly, there was a small wooden box hidden under the floor tiles.
Li Yang took the wooden box out and carefully checked it. After confirming that there was no mechanism, he slowly opened it.
Inside the wooden box was a yellowed ancient book and a black jade pendant.
This ancient book was very similar to the scroll buried in the courtyard by the prince.
With a little curiosity, Li Yang first picked up the ancient book, opened it and was slightly surprised.
There is no doubt that this is a secret book that records various evil arts.
Moreover, it is more complete than those copied by the prince.
It not only contains the soul transfer technique used by the red snake just now, but also many terrible spells that have been heard of.
Li Yang quickly browsed it and was surprised.
Although it is not as good as "Taiyuan Xuanzhang", the secret method in this book is also quite terrifying.
Most of these are soul-refining methods based on life essence, which are extremely vicious.
I don't know whether the people of the Poison Dragon Cult deliberately hid the things here, or were ordered to come here to find them.
In any case, because of the sudden appearance of the imperial guards just now, the people of the Poison Dragon Cult temporarily left here.
These things naturally belong to him.
After putting the ancient book into the bag, he picked up the black jade pendant and observed it carefully.
This jade pendant is pitch black, and a lifelike poisonous snake is carved on it.
There are two red gems inlaid in the eyes of the snake, which flicker with strange light under the moonlight.
Li Yang looked at the jade pendant carefully, and always felt that this jade pendant was a little unusual.
But he couldn't tell what was different for a while.
In order to prevent the Poison Dragon Cultists from making a comeback, Li Yang quickly put the jade pendant in his arms and quickly left the yard.
After returning to his residence, Li Yang immediately began to study the jade pendant.
This thing was covered with a layer of restriction.
He tried to crack the secret of the jade pendant in various ways, but all failed.
