The few of them walked out of the stele forest and Yu Su asked Wang Luo, “What’s behind the stele forest?”

If the sky above the stele forest was auspicious clouds, then behind the stele forest was a large area of black fog. There was also a faint blood light and a grudge. Only Yu Su and Wen Chuan could see this air of the sky.

Wang Luo was shocked. He looked around and wished he could cover Yu Su’s mouth. He whispered, “Oh my god, there are too many people here. We’ll explain when we get back.” He bowed to Yu Su.

Yu Su raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Chuan. Wen Chuan nodded.

Yu Su continued, “That’s fine too. Tell us about the elders of Mount Zhongnan on the way.” Only by understanding more could she see the true colors of these people.

Wang Luo hesitated for a moment before nodding. As he led the way, he said in a low voice, “Our Mount Zhongnan has five elders. These five elders together form the Elder Pavilion. Usually, the elders discuss everything together.”

“Last year, the Great Elder broke through to the Great Fulfilment Realm, so he began to enter seclusion.”

“Now, all the matters on the mountain have been handed over to the Second Elder to manage. If it weren’t for the huge incident, the Great Elder wouldn’t have appeared.”

“Third Elder is the master of the Spell Palace. He likes to study Daoist spells the most. He’s a loner and doesn’t like to socialize with outsiders.”

“Fourth Elder is in charge of the Talisman Hall. Last month, he went down the mountain to exchange with the outside world. Now, it’s his eldest disciple who’s in charge of daily affairs. There are many disciples under him, but they’re all cultivation maniacs and don’t like to leave the courtyard.”

“The Fifth Elder has always been passionate about culinary arts. He personally founded the Culinary Bureau. Rumor has it that his ancestors were imperial chefs. There’s no ingredient, whether it flies in the sky or runs on the ground, that he can’t cook.” Wang Luo was very cautious and only mentioned things that were widely known.

Yu Su asked, “Tell me about your Second Elder!”

“Second Elder…” Wang Luo hesitated, seeming conflicted. “Second Elder is in charge of… punishments…” He didn’t know how to put it.

“Let’s talk inside.” As they walked, they had already arrived at their residence. Yu Su said.

Fu Yang tactfully returned to his room first. When the few of them returned to their room again, Yu Su cast a silent spell on the room before looking at Wang Luo. “Can you say it now?” Was that Second Elder that scary?

Wang Luo still looked around and realized that the surrounding windows were closed. Then, he said carefully, “I wonder if you know anything about Mount Zhongnan before you came.”

“The famous Daoist Divine Mountain,” Xiao Han said.

Leng Yan thought for a moment and said, “Mount Zhongnan also has the authority to enforce the law. If youe see someone using Daoist magic to harm others, you can cooperate with the Metaphysics Management Office to arrest them.”

Lu Feng scratched his head. “I heard that you have a lot of vicious criminals locked up on Mount Zhongnan. Those people have committed countless evil deeds. If they were released, the world would become a hell.” These were just rumors from the outside world.

Wang Luo nodded. “Yes, in fact… Mount Zhongnan is more like a prison than a sacred Daoist mountain.”

“Prison?” Leng Yan frowned in confusion.

Wang Luo took a deep breath. “I won’t hide it from you anymore. I deduced all of this myself. Those people aren’t actually evil, but cultivators who have been tainted by demonic energy.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Yu Su frowned. “Demonic energy?” She exchanged a glance with Wen Chuan and saw a hint of shock in each other’s eyes.

Wang Luo nodded. “There’s an ancient legend in Mount Zhongnan that any Daoist with a wicked heart will be punished by Heaven. Initially, it wasn’t lightning from the Thunder God, but a ground fissure.”

Upon hearing about the ground fissure, Wen Chuan’s eyes sharpened as he stared intently at Wang Luo.

Yu Su asked, “What kind of fissure?”

“It’s a crack that appeared out of nowhere. People sucked into it become tainted by demonic energy, which causes them to lose their sanity and become killing machines,” Wang Luo explained slowly.

Yu Su asked, “How do you know about this?” Even Leng Yan from the Metaphysics Management Office didn’t know this, so how could a small steward like Wang Luo possibly know such a secret?”

Wang Luo smiled bitterly. “My mother was tainted by demonic energy and was taken away by the Second Elder. I still remember how crazed she was.”

Yu Su frowned. She thought back to the battle with Peng Chan and Sacred Blood. Just when she thought she had won, Sacred Blood had escaped through a crack. That crack was exactly as Wang Luo had described it, and she had a vague feeling that this demonic energy was connected to Sacrad Blood.

Wen Chuan clearly thought of the same thing. “Then how do you determine if someone is tainted by demonic energy?”

“We have a special artifact. By shining it on someone, we can detect if they’ve been tainted by demonic energy,” Wang Luo explained.
