“Beepwoobeepwoo”

The loud wail of police sirens echoed throughout the commercial street. Police officers in uniform swiftly arrived, pulling up yellow tape to cordon off dozens of meters of space.

The dispatched police team leader, after issuing commands, quickly turned and walked towards two figures, one large and one small, standing not far away.

“Master, we’ve already cordoned off the mall as per your request. Is there anything else you need?”

He reported the situation respectfully. Although he was wearing a police uniform, his actual identity was a member of the Special Operations Unit.

This was a strategic deployment by the Operations Unit; most local areas generally followed it. After all, during investigations, one might encounter supernatural cases.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to detect them at all, easily delaying the optimal time for solving the case.

Members of the Operations Unit all possessed cultivation, and their judgment was significantly superior to ordinary people. If they sensed something amiss, they would report it to the Operations Unit, and the higher-ups would dispatch core members to handle it, making it much more targeted.

This time, he was somewhat surprised, as he had received an internal alarm.

Not just him, but all members of the Operations Unit should have received it.

The reason he arrived so quickly, besides his police station being nearby, was mainly the identity of the caller.

The fact that this Master before him had challenged the Supreme Azure and forced the Xuanmen to yield had long circulated among the Operations Unit.

Now that he had the advantage of convenience and had spoken with the Master, he could already imagine the jealous looks from his colleagues when he recounted this later.

“Big Brother, please guard this area and clean up the scene as well, okay?”

Yaoyao was unaware of the latter’s small thoughts. At this moment, her expression was somewhat solemn.

She didn’t ask them to preserve the scene for a simple reason: preserving it would be useless.

The soul of the deceased had dissipated; the perpetrator was most likely not human.

Preserving a scene was only applicable to human-caused murder cases. For the current case, even the most brilliant forensic genius would be helpless.

Moreover, such a bloody scene would greatly affect public order.

She wasn’t very good at cleaning up scenes, which was why Yaoyao directly reported it to the Operations Unit.

“We will handle it as quickly as possible.” The latter nodded.

This was originally his duty; even if the Master hadn’t spoken, he would have done so.

Seeing that the external matters were dealt with, Yaoyao turned to instruct Seventh Brother to wait for her outside; she needed to enter the mall.

It was only because of her spiritual sense covering the area earlier that she had suddenly discovered the strangeness of this mall.

The entire building resembled a complex Bagua array, with each gate featuring an apotropaic beast head.

These beast heads included not only the auspicious White Qilin, Pixiu, and other four propitious beasts, but also the four ferocious beasts like Taotie and Taowu.

Auspicious beasts gather wealth and qi, while ferocious beasts break evil and destroy acupuncture points. Normally, these two could be said to be like fire and water; a normal Feng Shui layout would absolutely not be built this way.

Because their opposing forces would only cause unrest in the household.

But there was one exception: if there was a great fiend beneath this Feng Shui array, the opposing layout would reverse, forming a situation where they jointly defended against an enemy.

The auspicious beasts primarily suppressed, and the ferocious beasts primarily killed, jointly subduing the great fiend.

It was important to know that great fiends could disrupt the Feng Shui magnetic field; simply put, they could influence people’s emotions. Even if it didn’t deliberately release a targeted attack, a simple emanation of its aura could achieve this.

The unlucky person who committed suicide most likely stumbled upon it.

And this was a mall, with too many people coming and going. A suspected great fiend lurking here posed a danger greater than a nuclear bomb.

Yaoyao couldn’t just stand by. She had to investigate what was hidden inside.

“Be careful!” Gu Yu said with a solemn voice.

He wasn’t afraid of his sister suffering a loss, because that was highly unlikely here.

However, a living person had died in front of them, ripped apart, and the cause of death was unclear. Anyone would feel a shiver down their spine.

“I will, Big Brother. You hold onto these talismans, okay? If anything unexpected happens later, you can use them for self-defense.” Yaoyao softly responded.

Then, after a moment’s thought, she turned back, took a few talismans from her bag.

Although she had entered the ninth realm and would essentially be safe, it was always better to be cautious. After all, the old Daoist priest always said, “Caution is the parent of safety!”

“Okay, I’ll be careful.” Gu Yu replied, taking the talismans.

Yaoyao felt her mind relax at the sight. She moved her steps, and her figure vanished from the spot.

This elusive technique, every time Gu Yu saw it, he couldn’t help but feel envious.

This time, his mind was truly focused on his sister’s safety, hoping nothing would happen.

At the same time.

Mall, basement.

Yaoyao’s small figure appeared. She scanned her surroundings, and the dark, damp environment made her frown, her big eyes filled with disdain.

She had followed her spiritual sense here, which meant this was the eye of the Bagua array, and the malevolent entity sealed within should be right beneath her feet.

Yaoyao suppressed her fluctuating emotions and snapped her fingers.

A ball of spiritual fire slowly ignited, instantly illuminating the surroundings. She then began to survey the situation around her.

This basement was like a massive warehouse. What was strange was that in such a large space, there wasn’t a single piece of merchandise stored.

The walls all around, and even the floor, were covered in strange patterns.

Dazzling crimson, Yaoyao half-crouched, wiped her finger over a pattern on the floor, and brought it close to her nose to sniff.

This is… cinnabar?

There was even a hint of blood in it. If she wasn’t mistaken, it should be black dog blood. After all, these ’ghostly drawings’ could be discerned upon closer inspection.

This was a massive array formation!

Cinnabar suppresses ghosts, and dog blood dispels evil. This explained why it was used as a warehouse.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to store things, but that they dared not. If goods were stored here, people would inevitably come and go, and the living aura of humans was a major taboo for sealing arrays.

“Let me see, what exactly is this thing!”

Yaoyao stopped examining, because the person who set up the array was quite skilled; she couldn’t immediately see through its true nature with just her naked eyes.

But Yaoyao wasn’t flustered. She extended her chubby little hand and gently tapped between her eyebrows.

When she opened her eyes again, two golden lotuses bloomed within her watery pupils.

At the same time, the array’s appearance in her eyes changed. Peeling back layers of crisscrossing lines, Yaoyao finally saw a shadow buried underground.

Wait, is that… an eye?

Crimson like blood, with circles of golden rings expanding outwards around the pupil.

Yaoyao glanced at it, finding a total of four such rings coiled around it.

This result left her somewhat taken aback. She had thought this place would seal some ghost general, or at least a powerful ghost, and perhaps she could even have an extra meal.

Now it had suddenly turned into an eye. She wondered if this thing would even be tasty!

Yaoyao thought to herself.

Perhaps her resentment was a bit too strong, directly startling the originally quietly sealed crimson eye. It erupted without warning.

In an instant, an overwhelming crimson light surged forth, threatening to sweep everything away.

Even the array seemed useless at this moment, completely unable to block this terrifying crimson tide.

Not good!

Yaoyao hadn’t had time to retract her spiritual sense. Witnessing this scene, her small face suddenly changed color!

The next moment, she felt something collide into her glabella.
