“What’s wrong with you?”

Shen Luoyan looked at Li Mu, who was somewhat sorrowful, with surprise.

“Le…leave someone alive!”

Li Mu was in great pain.

“It’s no use, the Soul Cult has left a mark in their souls. As long as they dare to reveal any secrets about the Soul Cult, the mark will immediately take effect. Corrosive blood will surge from their souls and dissolve the entire person into a liquid.”

Shen Luoyan said. This was also the reason why she never considered leaving anyone alive.

Ordinary cultists are just cannon fodder, they know very little, and titled cultists cannot extract any useful information because they have been implanted with a mark.

The Soul Cult has survived hundreds of years of strikes and purges, and has its own way of survival.

Shen Luoyan snapped her fingers and two beams of light shot out from her side, one of them directly penetrated Meirweir’s hard skull and dug out a mist-like psychic energy from within, with countless carapace-like characters flying in it.

The other beam of light dug out the psychic energy from Smolte in the distance.

After awakening to the fourth level, the psychic energy underwent a qualitative change. Even if they are killed, they can still exist in the world for a period of time, and the holy relics implanted in them are also the same.

This allows one to obtain rich spoils of war every time a fourth-level awakened being is hunted and killed.

“These two holy relics, one is the Beast of Darkness, and the other is the Hidden Breath, are both common star-rated holy relics in the Soul Cult.”

Shen Luoyan said. She used two blue metal boxes to put the holy relics away.

After hundreds of years, the Xingdu Federation has collected a large amount of information about holy relics and made a Grimoire of Holy Relics. Only a handful of people have the right to read the full grimoire, while more people only look at a certain page.

In the battles between awakenings, information is critical.

The abilities of the holy relic are various and once one knows the other’s holy relic, they can organize targeted tactics, increase the odds of victory, and even use the restraining holy relic to win over the weak.

As the main enemy, the security headquarters keeps a record of the holy relic pages of the Soul Cult. In the catalog pages, there are a total of fifteen starred holy relic information and two moon-level holy relic information recorded.

This is only information about some of the holy relics of the Soul Cult. But it has already given the Xingdu Federation an advantage in eradicating the Soul Cult.

Beast of Darkness is one of the most common holy relics among the titled priests and has low requirements for awakeners, allowing it to quickly produce fourth-level awakeners with no less strength.

Hidden Breath is somewhat rarer, and it is difficult for ordinary awakeners to exert the power of this holy relic. In order to deceive the psychic ability user, Hidden Breath must use source essence reinforcement to strengthen its power at the fifth level.

If only visual deception can be performed, it will be completely restrained by psychic awakeners.

Shen Luoyan circled around Li Mu and looked over his body.

“What’s wrong?”

Li Mu asked in confusion.

His clothes had been completely torn apart by the Bloodthirsty Beast. His entire body was stained with blood, no different from a beggar.

Li Mei gave him a glance and picked up a relatively clean black robe from the ground, shaking it and wrapping it around him.

“I’m wondering why you haven’t fainted yet.”

Shen Luoyan leaned forward with her hands on her back, her long hair slightly curled and draped over her shoulder, and tilted her head to speak to Li Mu.

The Bloodthirsty Beast’s weapons are not limited to its claws and teeth, its body fluids also have strong toxicity that can simultaneously corrode both the physical and psychic body of a person.

Li Mu glanced at the alternating claw marks on his body, and the wounds indeed had a tingling feeling, but it was very mild.

It may be that he persistently drank from the Sun Spring and subconsciously changed his own constitution, and had a strong resistance to poison.

“Although the venom has not taken effect, it is still a nuisance to have it persist on the wound, let me take care of it for you.”

Shen Luoyan cupped her hands into a circle.

A warm light shone upon Li Mu, and his bloodstains were instantly cleared. Even the venomous fluid on his wounds turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air.

Even the deep wounds that were visible to the bones showed signs of healing.

The healing light was surprisingly effective, leaving Shen Luoyan a little surprised.

“It seems that your holy relic compatibility with me is very high.”

After Li Mu’s toxins were purged, she clenched her mechanical arm into a fist and advanced with a punch, directly hitting the transport vehicle in front of her.

The sturdy body of the transport vehicle was dented by the punch, and after the earsplitting metal twisting friction, it rolled and flew more than ten meters, clearing the way.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Luoyan clapped her hands and said.

Her mechanical arm on her right arm automatically detached and quickly crawled back to the hand-held box of the off-road vehicle with its five fingers on the ground. It even remembered to close the lid of the hand-held box.

She became a fashionable urban beauty again, and one could not see her ferocity when she easily dealt with two titled priests.

Li Mei slung her rifle on her back and felt a little depressed. This woman’s mastery of psychic energy was simply astonishing.

“Don’t investigate? By these two transport vehicles, we can surely find some traces of the Soul Cult. And since the bodily fluids of these monsters are poisonous, they need to be isolated and eliminated.”

Li Mu carried the iron spear with some difficulty on his shoulder. The material of this iron spear was extraordinary, with an unexpectedly high density, and after such intense fighting, it had not suffered any deformation or damage, at least it was a weapon of equal rank to a scimitar.

This intense battle did not earn much source essence, so they had to rely on this iron spear to make up for the losses.

“Someone will come to clean up later, we just need to leave first.”

The citizens of Avonigarda City have long been used to the chaotic law and order, and in the face of emergencies they never gather to watch, they only evacuate orderly on their own.

Shen Luoyan sat in the driver’s seat.

The entire off-road vehicle, after being swept by heavy machine guns, only lost some paint, and the only damaged part was still the windshield that was pierced by the front guard of Meirweir.

Under her psychic enhancement, the defense of this off-road vehicle even surpassed that of infantry vehicles.

The entire iron spear was three meters long and could not fit into the off-road vehicle, Li Mu hesitated for a moment and was ready to tie it to the luggage rack on the roof of the vehicle.

Shen Luoyan in the car was staring at him in disbelief.

“Are you really going to put this piece of junk on my car?”

Li Mu was somewhat surprised.

“Is this iron spear really junk?”

“Of course, the Soul Sect uses crudely made weapons made from blood-infused iron, besides being sturdy and heavy, they hardly have any other advantages.”

Shen Luoyan said disdainfully.

Li Mu felt relieved, Shen Luoyan’s standards for junk must be absurdly high for an ordinary person.

“How much money can it buy?”

“It’s worth around seven or eight gold Lasu, if it can be melted into a blood-infused iron metal ingot, it might be sold for a higher price. After all, only the Soul Sect knows how to manufacture this metal.”

Shen Luoyan said.

Li Mu did not say a word, and immediately tied the iron spear to the luggage rack of the off-road vehicle.

“Inspector, this iron spear is evidence, we should bring it back.”
