I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess Novel - Chapter 108
Chapter 108: The Provincial Governor Appeared (1)
“Spiritual Clarity Eye.”
Xiao Ran’s two eyes blazed with golden light as he looked towards the big courtyard dwelling.
The evil aura condensed and morphed into a Deluge Dragon that circled above the courtyard. As if sensing Xiao Ran’s gaze, it roared viciously at him.
The violent evil aura dashed out and was about to burst out of the courtyard,
when the array formation was triggered. It swirled and spun, barricading all the evil aura within and preventing it from spreading.
He retracted his gaze.
Xiao Ran remained expressionless. It was hard to believe that such an incredibly dangerous entity could be hidden in such a bustling area within the city center.
The spellcasters were very skilled, and the array formations they set up were very strong.
Apart from being able to trap the evil aura and prevent it from leaking out, there were also illusions. Only people with high evolution levels could see through them.
“I want to see what’s hidden here,” Xiao Ran murmured to himself.
He pushed the courtyard door open.
The view inside was beautiful. The courtyard was filled with flowers and greenery.
The narrow winding path made up of marble slabs extended to the front hall.
However, this was all a mirage created to confuse the naked eyes of mortals.
Under the gaze of the Spiritual Clarity Eye,
the courtyard was strewn with bones, and skeletons were scattered everywhere. Some of the weapons had already rusted and decayed.
…
It was bright daylight and the sun was shining.
However, this place was shrouded in darkness without any light. A monstrous evil aura whistled past, forming dozens of hurricanes of evil auras that whipped around wildly in the courtyard.
Even if a Grand Master were to step into this place and encounter this thick and solid evil aura, he would probably perish here grievously.
The skeletons scattered all around was the best proof.
The fiendish Deluge Dragon looked at Xiao Ran with a vile viciousness. With a flick of its massive tail, the surging evil aura transformed into a long whip that came lashing at him.
Xiao Ran had yet to enter the courtyard and was standing at the doorway.
The mighty lash from the long whip was blocked by the array formation again and it fragmented into clouds of evil aura which dissipated.
He took a step forward and found nothing obstructing him. He then crossed into the courtyard.
The courtyard door closed automatically. The evil aura wailed and whistled around him, creating a bizarre atmosphere.
As he stood in the courtyard,
he could clearly feel the array formation operating. It was easy to enter, but extremely difficult to leave unless he broke the array formation here.
“Roar!” The evil Deluge Dragon let out a furious roar.
The infinite evil aura around it turned into a terrifying abyss under its manipulation.
The abyss contained a powerful devouring force. It began sucking Xiao Ran down.
At the same time, the evil aura also converged into hundreds of special evil aura iron chains that bind his body tightly, constraining him in the same spot.
“An evil aura that gave rise to sentience?” Xiao Ran thought with a frown.
It would take an evil aura at least a thousand years to develop intelligence.
However, the evil aura here was at most a few decades old. It was probably not even 50 years old, therefore it was impossible for it to develop intelligence.
Unless someone used some evil techniques to create a shortcut.
Looking at the onrushing evil aura abyss, rays of golden light radiated and burst forth from his body.
The evil aura iron chains that wrapped around his body instantly evaporated.
He retrieved the Clear Heart Sutra and injected purifying spiritual force into it.
He thought of testing its power on this evil aura, but the power it displayed gave Xiao Ran a big shock.
Buzz!
The Clear Heart Sutra trembled and flew out of his hand into the air, before remaining suspended there.
The scriptures in it came to life and leaped out of the scripture book. With a gust of wind, each passage of the scriptures grew into dozens of feet in size.
There were a total of 999 passages, arranged in a densely packed mural.
It was arranged in a particular order, as if 999 people had stood in line to form an array formation.
Beams of golden light circulated and radiated from these words.
With every spin, the circle of golden light expanded, and the surrounding evil aura were all dispersed.
After three spins,
the golden light enveloped the entire courtyard. The first casualty of the golden light was the evil aura abyss that was trying to engulf everything. It was turned into billowing thick smoke which then dissipated completely.
The Deluge Dragon hovering in the sky stared at these words in horror.
With a ferocious roar, its evil aura shot skywards. The force was twice as strong as before. Then it burst out of the ground.
After the Deluge Dragon swallowed its aura, its physical body manifested in such clarity that the dragon scales on its body could be seen clearly.
It swiftly rushed forward, opened its huge dragon mouth, and swallowed the words in an overpowering manner.
The words instantly changed and all 999 passages fused together.
It formed a huge character ‘Immobilize’ that was thousands of feet in size and pressed down on it.
No matter how powerful the demon was, it could not even move a whisker at this moment.
The word ‘Immobilize’ rotated and transformed again. This time it morphed into the character “Subdue.”
Rays of golden light that overwhelmed heaven and earth shone fiercely on the Deluge Dragon’s body.
Whoosh…
After a few breaths, the fiendish Deluge Dragon vanished.
Apart from the lingering evil aura in the underground in the courtyard, there was no more evil aura above. Even all the bones and skeletons on the ground had all vanished.
The character ‘Subdue’ broke apart and transformed back into 999 passages of words before zipping back into the Clear Heart Sutra.
The sea of golden light vanished and the courtyard was restored to what it had been.
“Good treasure,” Xiao Ran muttered, as pleased as punch.
He put the volume of Sutra away.
When he walked further into the backyard, all the evil aura could be detected coming from under the artificial rockery.
“Break!”
With a swipe of his palm, he shattered the artificial rockery.
The artificial rockery was the key to suppressing the evil aura. Without it, the churning and billowing evil aura would be pouring out uncontrollably like a hornet’s nest that had been overturned. In just one breath, the courtyard became inundated by a sea of evil aura.
Its evil aura was twice as strong as before.
A little girl’s cry for help could be heard coming from underground. “Big Brother, save me…”
“I see.” Xiao Ran’s eyes turned chilly.
He understood now why that evil aura could nurture intelligence even though it was only a few decades old.
The little girl in front of him was the key. She was not human, but a demon called the ‘Yin Beast.’
It was recorded in the archival files of the Divine Sword Guards that the Yin Beasts were different from ordinary demons. They had special physical attributes, and their clansmen were all women. There was not a single male in their midst.
If they were to reproduce, as long as they found a place with dense Yin energy, they could produce offspring.
Before they reached adulthood, their powers were very weak. Even an ordinary person could overpower them.
