Chapter 400 The Evil Spirit of the Void, Li Wanru's Nightmare

Lin Feng was still making plans as he traveled.

Was I being too conspicuous by recruiting so many people lately? Could it have attracted the attention of the evil spirits of the void?

Lin Feng called those beings from the Void that devoured the souls of the Grandmasters of the Divine Continent "Evil Spirits of the Void," meaning evil souls from the Void.

Lin Feng thought about it and felt that he hadn't done anything wrong.

Nalan Rongruo's diary reveals that spiritual power is capable of dealing with those evil spirits of the void.

Lin Feng also analyzed some key information.

Those evil spirits of the void cannot strengthen their bodies in the void, so they need grandmasters from the Divine Continent to descend into their bodies to help them strengthen.

The physical body nourishes the soul; as the body grows stronger, the soul of the evil spirit in the void will also grow rapidly.

When a certain point is reached, when those evil spirits of the void feel that the master souls in the body are useless, they will devour these souls to strengthen themselves one last time.

Lin Feng still planned to perform a large-scale empowerment to rapidly strengthen his spiritual power so that he would have the strength to deal with the Void Evil Spirit.

Two months later, he still had to explain the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One to the masters of the Sword Sect.

There must be evil spirits among those grandmasters.

I wonder if those evil spirits of the void will try to take advantage of me.

Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to make another leap forward in his mental power within the next two months, covering a range of at least over a million meters.

He wants to expand the Temple of Martial Gods as quickly as possible.

Nalan Rongruo suffered from not having any followers; as long as the Sword Sect didn't help him, he would be all alone.

Having established a vast power base in the secular world, even if something like what happened to Nalan Rongruo were to happen, countless people would cover for him, making him difficult to find.

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng began to fly at full speed.

After a full day of flying, we finally arrived at Liuli County, the legendary county town that had been massacred.

This county town also belongs to the Sword Sect; it used to be the territory of the Ji family of Tianjian Peak.

After he arrived, he used his spiritual power to scan the entire county town and discovered thousands of Sword Sect disciples whom he had empowered.

Lin Feng selected a Sword Sect disciple he felt was good and directly used his mental power to invite that person to a restaurant alone.

The man smiled and clasped his hands in greeting as he saw Lin Feng, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Lin."

He was pleasantly surprised that Lin Feng was able to contact him.

This Senior Brother Lin is already a legendary figure in the Sword Sect, and everyone says he will become the next Sword Sect leader.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Junior Brother Miao, how have you been?"

This man was named Miao Zhenzong, and he too came from humble origins.

Lin Feng used a series of persuasive words and a special initiation ceremony to turn this person into a disciple of the Martial God Hall and make him his subordinate.

Lin Feng disguised himself and had the man lead him to the county town's library.

Better safe than sorry. Lin Feng didn't want anyone to know that he had been to the county library, so he did this.

Miao Zhenzong was the deputy general of the Liuli County City Guard and could freely enter and exit the library.

Lin Feng scanned through all the books in the library and then found a teahouse in the city to rest.

He drank tea while reviewing the books in his mind.

Focus on reviewing the local gazetteer of Liuli County.

The county annals do indeed record the massacre that occurred back then.

It tells the story of a demon named Rong Ruo who, along with nine henchmen, slaughtered everyone in Liuli County and then set fire to the entire county.

The current Liuli County was rebuilt on the ruins of the former.

There were ten people who massacred the city, which corresponded exactly to the ten grandmasters who descended.

Lin Feng guessed that the evil spirits of the Great Void would devour souls after descending upon the Divine Land.

When he explains the Myriad Swords Return to One to the Sword Sect Grandmaster, will the evil spirits of the Void mixed in with him devour his soul?

Does the evil spirit of the void devour souls every time it descends upon the land of Shenzhou?

It would be too much work for one person to investigate and analyze this kind of thing.

Lin Feng plans to establish a special department to investigate this matter under the Martial God Temple.

The first objective of the investigation is to determine which grandmasters appeared after which large-scale casualties occurred on the Chinese mainland.

The head of this department must be trustworthy, and their identity must be kept confidential.

For no apparent reason, Lin Feng thought of his former neighbor, Master Li.

It might be more appropriate to have a businessman help you with the investigation.

Master Li had promised to invite me for tea after I went to the Sword Sect, but he never did.

Lin Feng went to the headquarters of the Hemp-Clad Guards, the City Guards, and the government offices in Liuli County. After showing them the Peak Master's order, he asked them to help him investigate Master Li.

Lin Feng then used his mental power to communicate with the people from the Martial God Temple, asking them to keep an eye out for him as well.

When Lin Feng's voice appeared in the minds of the sect leaders under the Martial God Hall.

Even the sect leader was astonished.

I never expected the temple master to use such a miraculous method to send a message.

Could it be that the Palace Master is truly a God of War?

The sect leader dared not neglect the matter and agreed to it.

After finishing his tea, Lin Feng didn't rush to leave.

Now that we've come all this way, we should get everything done.

Lin Feng stayed in Liuli County for five days and brought the local largest gang, the Spirit Fire Gang, into the Martial God Temple.

Miao Zhenzong was instructed to secretly take care of the Linghuo Gang.

They also allowed the Spirit Fire Gang to expand its sphere of influence like the Beast Fist Sect, and to recruit a large number of people.

He instructed them to gather all their disciples outside Liuli County a month later for a concentrated initiation ceremony.

Liuli County is secured.

Lin Feng headed north to Feixue County, which was next door.

Feixue County is the territory of the Wuji Sect.

Lin Feng plans to secretly control a gang in Feixue County to facilitate his intelligence gathering.

Last time, I severely injured Li Chunqiu, the grandmaster of the Wuji Sect. This matter is definitely not over yet. I need to plant spies there.

……

In a valley of a snow-capped mountain, a thousand miles away from Feixue County.

Li Chunqiu's disciple, Li Wanru, was rolling on the ground.

Her hair was disheveled and she looked utterly miserable.

The voice of Li Chunqiu came from her mouth.

"Little girl, you can't escape. If you destroy my body, I'll take over yours."

Li Wanru rolled over twice and then made her own sounds again.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Hahaha, little girl, you can't kill me."

I will devour you sooner or later.

I never expected you to have awakened your spiritual power.

I'm so lucky; I managed to encounter a body with spiritual power during my one descent from the void.

I advise you not to resist in vain, let me devour your memories and soul.

You should feel honored; only grandmasters of the Taixu realm receive such treatment.

I will make Li Wanru a Grandmaster Elder of the Wuji Gong.

Li Wanru knew that once she was devoured, she would be replaced, her soul would perish, and she wouldn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.

That day, Li Chunqiu was seriously injured and needed to use her as a vessel to heal his wounds.

She fought back fiercely, and unexpectedly, she actually killed Li Chunqiu.

Killing Li Chunqiu marked the beginning of her nightmare.

She felt something burst out of Li Chunqiu's body and burrow into her brain.

A strong sense of fear rose within her.

That thing wanted to devour her soul.

Driven by the threat of death, she awakened her mental power and temporarily suppressed something else in her mind.

After awakening her spiritual power, she realized that the other thing that had entered her mind was actually an evil soul.

She hasn't rested for a moment these past few days, constantly battling the evil spirits in her mind.

She felt she was about to reach her limit.
