Chapter 94: Misunderstanding
The black smoke seemed to become sentient as it slowly twisted into a human shape. Master Ling Yi focused his eyes, and the black smoke had completely vanished, revealing a man in black clothes who was exceptionally thin; even wrapped in all-black attire, he looked like he was clothed in bones.
Master Ling Yi took a step back. He didn’t recognize this man at all, nor was he one of the few known by his master. Moreover, this stranger gave him an odd feeling...
Master Ling Yi was not very familiar with the Mystical Arts of Master Yin He. In Qiandao Temple, only his master had some understanding. Initially, his master had found Master Yin He, healed his wounds, and wanted to take him as a Direct Disciple; he even attempted several times to unravel the mysteries of the spellwork on Master Yin He.
However, it quickly became apparent that the power within Master Yin He was not something they could control. It wasn’t a matter of reciting a few spells and talismans to regulate the power’s intensity; rather, it was closely related to the capability of the Mystical Arts itself, moving as it willed.
Then, Master Huo Yi discovered that this contrarian form of Mystical Arts was not meant for prayers or wishes but was harmful, like a plague released by the heavens upon humanity.
Thus, Master Huo Yi spent several years trying to figure out how to control these dark vapors.
Clutching the bottle in his hand tightly, Master Ling Yi didn’t care who this person was or what Mystical Arts he was skilled in. As long as he was associated with the dark energy of Master Yin He, it was nothing good.
Master Ling Yi immediately closed his eyes and began to chant spells rapidly, the bottle in his hand trembling slightly.
The man in black certainly feared the bottle, glanced again at Zheng Haoyuan lying on the ground; though reluctant, he had no choice but to abandon Zheng Haoyuan and flee.
Master Ling Yi immediately opened his eyes and went to check on Zheng Haoyuan.
It seemed that this dark energy could attract others of its kind, which further proved his master’s point: the power of this spellwork depended on how much dark energy it could plunder and absorb, not on cultivation.
