I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 677 - 256: Saintess Yu’s Jaw Drops! Visiting Prince Yu Mansion!_3

"Isn’t it just Yin Yang Qi? Why make it sound so complicated..."

Black and white Qi emanated from Chen Mo’s palm, injecting into the Erosion Light Hourglass, causing the Gnomon Needle to tremble violently.

?

Yu Hongyin’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Judging by that aura, it seems even stronger than mine!

How is that possible...

"Turn the Three Focal Points upside down, the Gnomon rotates Yin and Yang, blood and marrow condense into sand, eroding all daylight..."

Chen Mo murmured to himself, activating the "Taiyin Reverse Time Decision," causing the Gnomon Needle to reverse direction.

At the same time, a shadow emerged, entwining with a strand of black hair.

Finally, the Gnomon Needle stopped at three quarters past midnight.

The light in front suddenly turned dim, as if it had jumped from day to night in an instant.

In the bedroom, the candlelight flickered, and a faint figure lay on the bed, soundly asleep.

Although the image was a bit blurry, Qiao Tong and Yu Hongyin immediately recognized one of the missing disciples of the Netherworld Sect.

Breathe—

At this moment, a sudden breeze arose, gently swaying the candlelight.

The person seemed to notice something, suddenly sat up, and looked outside, their expression instantly becoming extremely terrified.

The window, originally tightly shut, had somehow quietly opened, and a giant eye, occupying the entire window, was peering into the room!

This horrifying sight left him momentarily frozen in place.

Soon after, the eye withdrew, and a huge, aged hand reached inside, grabbing at him.

The disciple came to his senses, shouting loudly, but his companion sleeping next door gave no response.

The disparity in strength between them was too great for him to even muster the thought of resisting. He sliced off a strand of hair from his bun with his fingers like a knife, letting it fall softly to the floor.

The next moment, the giant hand grasped him.

The palm tightened, accompanied by the sound of bones crushing, and the disciple immediately fainted.

The giant hand slowly withdrew back through the window.

Outside the window, all was silent, the moon was bright, and the stars sparse, as if nothing had happened.

The scene came to an abrupt halt, Chen Mo severed the Yin Yang Qi, and everything returned to normal, the light brightened again.

The room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong’s faces were laden with solemnity.

No wonder there were no traces of a struggle left behind, the opponent was indeed this powerful?!

The shock was so overwhelming that even the absurd fact that Chen Mo could use the "Taiyin Reverse Time Decision" was temporarily set aside...

"Judging by the size, the giant might be bigger than this whole mansion. How could such a massive figure go unnoticed?"

"Could it be an Illusion Technique?"

"But the person was clearly taken by him... Could it be the work of the Demon Clan?"

The two were puzzled.

"No, it’s not a demon." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The entire process was without any leak of energy; if the Demon Clan had such means, Tiandu City would have already been in chaos."

Yu Hongyin quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, have you discovered anything?"

Chen Mo put away the Erosion Light Hourglass and replied calmly, "Nothing conclusive can be said, but one thing can be confirmed: this is at least the work of a Heavenly Human Realm Grandmaster."

"A Grandmaster?"

Yu Hongyin’s brows furrowed.

As fellow sect disciples, she clearly knew their power, at the peak of Fifth Rank, only a step away from Fourth Rank.

Yet in front of that "giant," they didn’t even have the power to fight back, likely only a Third Rank and above Grandmaster could achieve that.

"But why would he target Sect Disciples?" Qiao Tong asked, puzzled.

"It’s not clear yet, but there’s a bit of a clue about the opponent’s identity." Chen Mo’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Though he hadn’t seen the complete face, the eye felt inexplicably familiar... If it were truly as he thought, then everything could be explained.

"Well done, I’ll give you an extra treat when we return tonight." Chen Mo reached out and rubbed the cat’s head.

"Meow~"

The cat rolled over, revealing its soft belly, seemingly very pleased with his praise.

Chen Mo picked up the mischievous cat, holding it in his arms, and said to Yu Hongyin, "Isn’t it said that other sects also had people go missing? Let’s go take a look; perhaps we’ll find something."

"Alright."

Yu Hongyin nodded.

The three left the residence and headed to the lodgings of other sects.

After about half a day, they compiled a list of all the sect disciples who had gone missing over the past few days, totaling eight people—five martial artists and three cultivators, all of Fifth Rank, and all had suddenly lost contact within the last three days.

During this time, Chen Mo used the "Taiyin Reverse Time Decision" once more, and the situation he saw was identical.

In the dead of night, they were taken by the suddenly appearing "giant"...

And the familiarity of that eye grew stronger for him.

"Mr. Chen, where should we start investigating?" Leaving the Kuixing Sect disciple’s place, Yu Hongyin looked at Chen Mo and asked.

Qiao Tong also looked at him expectantly.

Chen Mo stretched lazily and casually said, "It’s getting late, I should clock out for the day. Today’s investigation is over; we can discuss any matters tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left on his own.

?

Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong exchanged glances, their expressions puzzled.

He was so energetic just now; why did he suddenly want to take a break?

...

...

Holding the cat in his arms, Chen Mo strolled leisurely through the crowd, soon leaving the bustling streets behind and arriving at Jinglan Street.

Here, next to the Imperial City, the surroundings were quiet, and only members of the royalty and their relatives were eligible to reside here.

He stopped in front of a large mansion with five entrances and three courtyards.

As evening approached, the glow of the setting sun shone on the black plaque above the door, the gilded words "Prince Yu Mansion" glimmering brightly.

"What is destined to come will always come..."

Chen Mo’s lips curved up as he stepped forward.

The two guards at the main entrance raised their hands to stop him, saying solemnly, "This is a restricted area of the Prince Mansion; unauthorized persons should leave immediately!"

Clang—

Chen Mo pulled out a string of tokens, colorful and dazzling.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look; who is unauthorized?"
