The docunt contained a large number of photos.
Each image within was shocking and moving.
Brown ceramic vats one ter high were filled with bloody water.
Inside, many human bodies were subrged, terrifyingly, their lower bodies had been skinned with so intricate technique.
Only the leg bones and nurous blood vessels and tendons floated in the bloody water.
They spread out like shredded tofu.
The upper bodies of these people fared no better, with their skin fully engraved with various strange black talismans.
Clearly, this was a preditated ritual sacrifice, but what the instigator intended to achieve remained unknown to everyone.
"Is this related to Xu Fu?" Sun Yan asked.
"Yes, in our investigation, we discovered a site where Xu Fu once resided. The items in these photos are his handiwork. We have reason to suspect that Xu Fu is secretly planning sothing significant, which might very well affect the safety of many people."
"But what his true goal is, we still do not know. Over the years, we have consulted many masters of mysticism from various countries, but we have yet to gain any definitive speculation. So, besides seeking cooperation, I also hoped Mr. Sun could take a look to determine what Xu Fu is really planning."
Sun Yan scrutinized the photos carefully but could make no sense of them.
At that mont, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao suddenly appeared beside him.
Looking at the images with indifference, he said, "This is a ans to blind the divine chanism, using others’ lives as a cover, allowing one’s lifespan to transcend the cycle of reincarnation. The person he’s seeking indeed knows quite a lot."
Sun Yan inquired, "Master, does this person have any purpose in doing this?"
"It’s hard to say. The six realms have long been destroyed, and the concept of reincarnation no longer exists. This gives knowledgeable individuals various ans to manipulate longevity and undying, but none are good thods. The situation in these pictures is one of them. It seems the opponent is searching for a special longevity technique."
"What is a special longevity technique?" Sun Yan asked curiously.
"To detach from this world."
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao displayed a profound expression on his face, "Soone intends to leave this world."
In Rick’s view, he saw Sun Yan sitting on the sofa talking to himself, as if he were communicating with soone who didn’t exist.
This made Rick more convinced of Sun Yan’s abilities.
"Mr. Sun, are you communicating with gods and spirits?" Rick curiously asked.
He had previously encountered a few who claid they could chat with gods and spirits.
For instance, one of them said their chat partner was an immortal snake that had cultivated for a thousand years, and with one word from the snake, it could summon all the snakes in the world for assistance, which greatly opened Rick’s eyes.
"He can’t see?" Sun Yan was taken aback.
Elise, Sosia, and Ailanda, all capable of seeing the presence of the Tomb Guardian.
"Mortal eyes, how could they see."
"I see."
Sun Yan flicked his fingers, sending a glimr of light to Rick, temporarily granting him the Celestial Eye.
Suddenly, Rick saw the figure of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao beside Sun Yan, startling him to leap from the sofa in sheer shock.
The ability to open the Celestial Eye is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This was Rick’s first ti witnessing such an event.
"No need to worry, this is my master, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, and he is a powerful immortal." Sun Yan briefly introduced.
Rick cald down and sat back on the sofa.
"I am already aware of your situation now. I can cooperate with you to search for Xu Fu. In the future, should you encounter any trouble, don’t hesitate to find . Anything related to Xu Fu, I will go all out."
Sun Yan returned the docunt with confidence, saying,
"What a coincidence, Mr. Sun. I happen to have a case in hand that might be related to Xu Fu, take a look."
Rick smiled contentedly, quickly taking out another folder to pass to Sun Yan:
"Recently, in a town in California, sothing strange occurred. At a local farr’s farm, an unusual stone appeared. So say it’s a teorite from outer space, others claim it’s an ancient artifact unearthed from beneath the farm.
Many townsfolk went to the farr’s house to view it, but after returning ho, they experienced dreadful changes within a week, either losing skin or suffering organ failure. On the stone were markings similar to ancient Eastern magical talisman decrees. We believe it might be associated with Xu Fu. Mr. Sun, would you take a look? If it’s related, I will request headquarters to send more people to assist in the investigation."
"Oh?" Sun Yan opened the folder to examine its contents.
Indeed, several of the photos depicted the stone Rick ntioned.
The stone was as large as a car, its surface rugged and full of potholes.
It exuded a silvery yet non-silver luster.
On the stone’s surface, there were indeed so magical talisman decrees, which clearly were not native to North Arica.
"What is this?" Sun Yan was about to take a closer look.
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao directly revealed, "A Plague Departnt Decree, it seems related to a True God of the Plague Departnt, likely left by one of the Six Gods of the Plague Departnt. It appears to be a remnant from the great battle back then, unexpectedly falling on this land."
"The Plague Departnt!" Sun Yan’s eyes lit up.
In the Investiture of the Gods, after Jiang Ziya enthroned the gods, he conferred gods of thunder, fire, plague, combat, Tai Sui, pox, water, and wealth, a total of eight divisions of True Gods.
The Plague Departnt was overseen by Emperor Wen Zun Haotian Lv Yue, who commanded the Six Gods of the Plague Departnt, imposing diseases upon living beings.
Among them were the Eastern Plague Envoy Zhou Xin, Southern Plague Envoy Li Qi, Western Plague Envoy Zhu Tianlin, Northern Plague Envoy Yang Wenhui, Master of Virtue Chen Geng, and Plague Daoist Li Ping.
According to the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, this unusual stone is likely related to one of these six.
And it should have nothing to do with Xu Fu.
The item left behind by a True God of the ancient Celestial Court is naturally extraordinary, and Sun Yan had no excuse to ignore it.
Bringing this back to the Graveyard might even be a boon for him. Sun Yan imdiately decided to visit the site to fetch the stone for thorough research.
"The California town, right? Alright, I will go to the site, leave it to ."
"This stone is unrelated to Xu Fu, don’t pay any more attention to it, focus on other clues."
Sun Yan told Rick.
Rick nodded, "Alright, I trust Mr. Sun’s judgnt. From now on, you will be the case consultant for the ICPO. I will keep in touch with you for any new findings, sorry for the intrusion today."
"Okay."
After seeing Rick off, Sun Yan was also ready to head to California.
He was very curious about the stone related to the Plague Departnt’s True God, determined to obtain it.
Going to the site early, and bringing back the stone for thorough research is a fine notion.
"Sosia, get ready, accompany out for a trip." Sun Yan called to Sosia, who was busy in the yard.
Among the three cetery mbers, it was Sosia who typically handled matters most efficiently.
So for any external work, Sun Yan preferred taking her along.
While Elise and Ailanda, the two of the Blood Race, were more suited to stay at the Graveyard to guard the place.
