Chapter 1280 Ming Wan
As the saying goes, "evil cannot prevail over good", the power of imperial energy to restrain evil magic is well known.
The two sturdy men had some vision and could actually distinguish the royal aura on Lu Yun.
Seeing that Lu Yun didn't say anything, a strong man said, "Sir, just speak up. We will definitely satisfy you with whatever we can do."
Seeing the sincere and eager expressions on their faces, Lu Yun couldn't bear to refuse.
But he was anxious to find Chu Yao's whereabouts, and was also worried about Long Dapao's safety. If he helped these people, it would definitely waste his time.
The gain outweighs the loss!
Lu Yun was like an old monk in meditation, not saying a word, which made the two strong men a little at a loss.
The two men looked at each other and nodded at the same time. A sturdy man gritted his teeth and took out an object from his arms.
"Ok?"
Lu Yun looked closely and saw that the sturdy man was holding a ball the size of a ping-pong ball in his palm. The ball was black and had no luster at all.
However, the aura emitted by this black ball made him feel shocked.
"Mingmaru!"
Dugu Piaoling shouted in shock.
"Fairy, you have good eyesight!" The sturdy man explained, "This thing is indeed the Mingwan, I hope you can help me." After that, the two of them bowed deeply again.
Lu Yun didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Dugu Piaoling with Luo Li and Liu Yan'er.
"So you don't know what a treasure is?" Dugu Piao Ling said in surprise, "This Underworld Pill is a treasure unique to the Underworld. Although it is not a treasure, it is also priceless. Its greatest effect is that it can improve the practitioner's understanding."
"Can this kind of thing be considered a treasure?" Lu Yun deliberately asked, "Some people are born with very poor comprehension. If they rely on external forces, it will be difficult for them to make progress. If they are highly comprehensible, they don't need this kind of thing at all. It's useless!"
Lu Yun shook his head in disdain, but his eyes were secretly looking at Dugu Piaoling's face.
Dugu Piaoling's eyes were always fixed on the dark pill, never leaving it.
"Are you people from the lower realm so ignorant? Even in the upper realm, it is not easy to get a Nether Pill. This thing... humph, you won't understand even if I tell you."
The thing that Dugu Piaoling recognized was definitely not an ordinary thing. Lu Yun knew it very well. He just wanted to prove the value of this thing.
Seeing Dugu Piaoling's regretful expression, Lu Yun suddenly smiled. He walked forward, took the Ming Pill from the sturdy man's hand, and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
"Is this thing really that useful?"
"Don't worry, sir. As long as you can help us, we will reward you handsomely!"
The sturdy man bit his back teeth and promised with a painful look on his face.
"Okay! I agree to help you. Lead the way!"
The two strong men were overjoyed. They bowed and kowtowed again before standing up.
"Where are the people in your town now?" Lu Yun asked.
"If you head north out of the town, you will see a black mountain in just half a day's journey," a strong man explained.
"There is a cave in the north of Black Mountain. People in our town are taking refuge there." Another strong man continued, "Please hurry up, sir. I'm afraid those people in the town... can't hold on for too long."
"This is natural. Human life is at stake. We cannot delay any further."
After saying that, Lu Yun took the lead and walked out of the town.
After they left the town, they took off into the air and flew towards the north.
When we arrived at the Black Mountain area, the sky became increasingly dark.
Lu Yun noticed that the whole mountain was shrouded in an evil aura, and even Dugu Piaoling who was following behind him felt uncomfortable.
“This mountain…”
"Sir, what's wrong?" asked the sturdy man.
"How long have you been here?"
"About a month or so."
"The people in your town are under a spell. What's going on?"
"This story probably started with a wedding event a month ago," another strong man recalled. "Our town is relatively wealthy, and a family married off their daughter, and the ceremony was very grand."
"Yes, I still remember the grand occasion. People from the whole town came out to join in the fun."
"So there must have been quite a few outsiders present at the time, right?"
"Sir, you are right."
"But the question is, they were all struck by evil magic, but why are you two fine?" Lu Yun suddenly asked.
"Sir, you may not know that we were watching the fun, but not long after it started, we were called by the mayor to do some work, so we were spared."
"Well, now it seems that the mayor saved our lives."
The three of them chatted along the way and soon arrived at the back mountain.
Lu Yun's figure stopped in the air, and he saw a huge cave from afar. Inside the cave, many people from the underworld were lying in all directions.
But their skin color is not white.
Lu Yun said to the three women around him: "You have seen that these people are indeed abnormal. You must be careful later and don't get infected."
The three women looked solemn and nodded slowly.
Falling from the sky, two strong men hurried over to check on the others.
Lu Yun condensed the imperial energy to protect his body and stopped the three women behind him.
When he came close to a civilian, he saw that the civilian's face had turned black, and the exposed skin had turned black along the blood vessels.
Looking around, everyone else was in the same situation.
Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone twisted their bodies in pain, and some even scratched their skin with their nails.
"Xiao Lu Yun, what happened to them?"
Luo Li is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer so much, so she ignored Lu Yun's attempts to stop her and rushed straight to a little girl and squatted down.
"Don't be afraid, kid. Tell your sister if you feel uncomfortable."
Liu Yan'er's face didn't look good either. She bit her lips lightly and remained silent.
"This is not some witchcraft."
Dugu Piaoling said coldly.
"What do you think it is?" Lu Yun asked.
"It seems to be a kind of witchcraft." Dugu Piao Ling frowned and said, "As far as I know, there are many forces in the underworld who specialize in practicing some evil methods that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. Moreover, these evil methods are very powerful. Even if a powerful person takes action, it may not be able to break them."
"so smart?"
After hearing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but gasp.
He recalled that his own world also had witchcraft, but now it seemed that it was probably not as good as that in the underworld.
"Ugh!"
At this moment, a scream was heard not far away.
Lu Yun looked up and saw a middle-aged man shaking violently. His legs were kicking and his hands were scratching his chest.
Liu Yan'er was about to step forward when she was grabbed by Lu Yun.
"Don't go there!"
"But he..."
"No!"
Lu Yun stared with wide eyes, staring at the people of the underworld, and the people's bodies began to change.
The limbs gradually began to swell, and when they reached their limit, the skin suddenly burst open, and black blood flowed out from the cracks in the skin, and it was very sticky.
From his mouth, he also spat out black blood, and his neck was swollen to almost twice its original size.
With a dull "bang", his neck exploded directly, and black blood dyed the ground around him black.
Lu Yun and his companions had never seen such a scene before. Luo Li and Liu Yan'er vomited immediately. Only Dugu Piaoling covered his mouth and nose with his hands, but his face looked very ugly.
"Sister, sister..."
At this moment, the little girl that Luo Li had seen before began to swell.
