The crooked way can also lead to heaven

If someone else said this, Zhao Kuo would definitely not believe it.

But the person in front of him has studied evil magic deeply. Since he said so, the situation in the water is probably more serious than expected.

Zhao Kuo sorted out his thoughts and asked: "Since it is not a blood zombie under the water, what is it?"

"Corpse demon, you found it too late, so you didn't know until the blood zombie mutated."

Ye Ran didn't beat around the bush and told him the situation under the water directly.

Zombie mutation is a very rare case, and it can be divided into natural mutation and artificial mutation.

Judging from the extent of the blood rain, a large number of people must have disappeared in Tianhai City recently, and they were all captured and sacrificed.

"If I'm not mistaken, someone must have set up a formation around the artificial lake."

"If you want to refine a blood zombie, you must use the blood of more than a thousand people to nourish it, and there is only one way to launch such a large battle."

"Soul-devouring blood refining formation!"

Ye Ran said his guess in his heart. This formation is very evil, and even he would not use it easily.

Because the Soul Devouring Blood Refining Formation must be activated with the life span of the caster, the life span will be reduced during the formation until the purpose is achieved.

However... the mutation of the blood zombie should be beyond the control of the caster.

The souls of the people who were sacrificed and refined will not disperse after death. When they are in a state of panic, they will look for a suitable carrier to live in, so the blood zombies are full of souls and eventually mutate into blood monsters.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a headache. If this is not handled well, the people of the Yin-Yang Association will most likely be shot.

"Okay, as long as it can be solved, I will give it my all!"

"I'll give you three more copper coins!"

Zhao Kuo immediately took out six copper coins from his pocket and handed them over, feeling extremely painful.

Although the value of the copper coins is extremely high, it is self-evident to think about it, compared with his own life, which is more important.

Ye Ran took the copper coins expressionlessly, but in fact, he was already very happy in his heart.

"Let your men drain the lake water, and set up a magic altar on the shore. Ask a hundred Yin-walking people to work together and suppress the blood demon with the Rebirth Mantra."

"I will find a way to fix the Soul-devouring Blood Refining Array. We will make other plans after the lake water is almost drained."

Now the blood demon is almost formed, but it cannot open its eyes because of the restraint of the caster.

Letting a hundred Yin-walking people to attack together is not a waste of time.

First, it is to intimidate the caster behind the scenes. Such a large number of people is enough to make him afraid and it is not easy to come to the scene to take the next step.

Second, there are many souls in the blood demon. A hundred people working together can reduce its strength to the greatest extent, so as not to have to deal with the full-strength blood demon at that time, which is a bit of a loss.

"It will take at least a week to drain the lake water, and it will take three days even if it is fully fired. Will the blood demon really not break free?"

Zhao Kuo frowned and spoke. It was not that he was unwilling to believe Ye Ran, but that the time was too long, which had a serious impact on the entire Tianhai City.

Ye Ran didn't give in, and said softly: "Either do it or ask for help."

"By the way, Wang Jiao's body is also tied down below. If you don't want to take the blame, it's better to get rid of it in advance."

When Wang Jiao was mentioned, Zhao Kuo's face changed slightly, but because there were people all around, it was not easy to talk in detail. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say: "I will arrange it immediately."

...

In less than half a day, a shocking scene appeared by the lake of Zhongshan Park.

Hundreds of Yin-walking people opened the altar together, and the sound of chanting was extremely shocking.

If it were in normal times, this scene could only be seen at some important Yin-Yang conferences.

Because the abnormality of this place has been exposed, public opinion on the Internet is overwhelming, and some people even want to come to see it specially.

There are a large number of reporters, but they are blocked outside by the Yin-Yang Association.

In order to prevent riots, even the army was mobilized, and the whole city of Tianhai was under martial law!

The speed of the spread of online news is difficult to stop. Now people all over the world are staring at Tianhai City, and its top leaders are even more uneasy.

Zhao Kuo's phone was blown up!

As long as the matter here is over, no matter what background the corpse refiner has, the only result he is waiting for is death.

Ye Ran returned to the shop, and the little beggar was cleaning up. He also knew what was happening on TV.

"Master, the food is ready. I'll heat it up for you." The little beggar put down the feather duster and trotted to the kitchen.

Ye Ran responded casually, then went to the basement to take a few sips of ashes, and then put on the black Taoist robe with tattered corners.

Leaving the basement, the little beggar had already brought the hot food to the table and stood by waiting.

"You eat, I have something to do."

"Don't go out these two days. If someone comes to the shop, just refuse them directly."

Ye Ran put on his shoulder bag, held up an oil-paper umbrella and turned to leave.

As for where to go...

Of course it's the Zhou family!

Since the old man Scorpio came to Tianhai City, there has been no shortage of abnormal situations.

Therefore, Ye Ran suspected that the blood demon at the bottom of the lake in Zhongshan Park was also related to him.

Even if there is no relationship, there must be a shallow involvement.

It is difficult for one person to activate the Soul Devouring Blood Refining Formation. The fact that so many people disappeared is enough to show that there must be a force behind it.

It is not difficult to find out where the Zhou family lives. Just call Huang Shandong and ask.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ran looked at the hilltop not far away and drove off immediately.

The Zhou family is leisurely and carefree. Other people live in the city, but they live on the top of the mountain. It is difficult to go there.

After driving for an hour or so, we finally arrived at the top of the mountain. In front of us, there was an old house with a large area.

However, the sky was covered with dark clouds, making this quaint building look lifeless.

Ye Ran got out of the car with an umbrella and came to the gate. He found that it was not closed and opened with a light push.

As soon as he stepped in, the scene in front of him made even Ye Ran frown.

The ground was red, and the walls were splattered with blood. A large number of corpses were hung on bamboo poles. Without exception, all of them had their eyes, mouths and tongues dug out, their chests were hollowed out, and their intestines were swinging.

The black crows screamed and stayed on the corpses to peck.

The stench rushed towards him, almost making Ye Ran faint.

The scene in front of him could only be described as cruel and perverted, and it was simply inhumane.

"This is definitely the Zhou family, but... why did it encounter such a change?"

Ye Ran walked through the courtyard and began to look for survivors everywhere, but in the end he returned to the front of the courtyard in vain.

As his sight tilted, he suddenly found a corpse floating in the water under the rockery. He looked around and found that it was Zhou family's helmsman, Zhou Wugong.

"The corpse looked peaceful, and the wound on the neck was neat and tidy. It should have been attacked suddenly."

"There is no corpse spot yet, which means that he died not long ago. There is no trace of Scorpio at the scene."

"... Strange."

Ye Ran shook his head, stood up and looked around, trying to find more valuable clues.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a silver needle attacked from behind. Ye Ran sensed it and gently turned his head to avoid it.

Looking back, a man in a black cloak was standing in front of him under the tree. Although he was wrapped very tightly, the coldness was still difficult to conceal.

Ye Ran stood up and faced him, and after a few seconds he said, "I think you are the old man Scorpio."

The man under the cloak snorted coldly: "Young man, you have good insight."

Ye Ran laughed: "This does not require any insight. With your height of 1.5 meters, it is easy to recognize."

The old man Scorpio was not angered by these words, but asked: "I really want to know how you can kill my disciples and destroy my junior brother."

Ye Ran shrugged: "How difficult is this? How strong can someone from the same lineage as a fool be?"

The old man Scorpio raised his hand and slapped the tree trunk fiercely, causing the ancient tree to tremble slightly and drop a large number of leaves.

"You are so arrogant!"

This operation may be just a little more powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but Ye Ran recognized at a glance that this person has some skills, probably at the level of small success in external strength.

These people who walk in the Yin and Yang do things that go against the will of heaven, and naturally they will also come into contact with some secrets that ordinary people cannot know.

The people in the Yin and Yang world also have the saying of cultivation.

External strength is from minor to major.

Internal strength is from minor to major.

Dark strength is from minor to major, and then to the ultimate state.

Yin and Yang have three major states in total.

It is said that when one reaches the ultimate state, he will be immune to all poisons, just like the poisonous blood gas emitted by the corpse monster at the bottom of the lake, which can be ignored even if it is contaminated.

Ye Ran grinned, quickly pulled out his pistol and fired, without giving the old man Scorpio a chance to react.
