After the dark purple colour spread to the entire oil painting, the banshee in the oil painting had already disappeared without a trace.
"Pretty good capturing technique?
You bought it specifically for this, right? "
Leylin moved in front of the old witch, "I'm very interested in this banshee. How about buying it for me later?
I'll pay 20% more than the market price! "
"After exploring this secret plane and finding what I want, I'll give it to you directly!"
The old witch glanced at Leylin.
At this moment, in the centre of the oil painting, a silver dot of light suddenly appeared.
The silver dot of light became bigger and bigger, and the surrounding space fluctuated faintly, finally forming a passageway filled with silver radiance.
Resentment, cries!
An extremely cold aura of spirit force continuously gushed out from the passageway.
The entire wooden building was surrounded by a thin layer of smoke, and the voices of men, women, young and old could be heard.
If not for the fact that the old witch had already drugged everyone in the small town, there would definitely be a lot of chaos.
"Although it is impossible for ancient Magi to appear in the secret plane, there are still some curses and mechanisms left behind that can be used. We have to be careful … Also, the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect is a Magus organisation famous for their research on spirits, so we have to make preparations in this aspect …"
The old witch warned in detail.
"Now, you should tell us what we're looking for, right?" Leylin stared at the old witch.
"Hehehe … Don't worry, you'll naturally know when the time comes!" The old witch was still smiling evilly and half-heartedly.
"Speak the truth.
Old devil, if you don't tell me now, I won't have any confidence … "Brass Ring stood on Leylin's side this time.
"If you don't tell me now, I won't dare to keep my original promise …"
"You …" The old witch was a little flustered, but immediately began to cough violently. Her originally hunched figure became even more crooked, as if she was going to cough until her waist broke.
"Cough cough … Alright!"
After a long while, the old witch finally caught her breath, but her face had already turned deathly pale.
"It's something that looks like an altar.
There's only one in the entire laboratory, so you can't be wrong! "
The old witch spoke.
Her voice sounded a little helpless.
"And then?
Is that all the information? "Brass Ring immediately asked.
"What else do you think it is?"
A green light shot out from the old witch's eyes as she stared at Brass Ring. "I've only read about the possibility of that altar in this secret plane from a few ancient documents. How would I know the specifics?"
As if afraid that the old witch would fly into a rage again, Brass Ring wisely chose not to question her further.
"Then what's the use of that altar?" Copper Ring shut his mouth.
Leylin then asked, "Don't tell me you don't even know what the altar is used for, and you want to find it?"
"Of course not!"
The old witch's expression flickered for a while before she finally said, "That altar is a product of the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect. It's called the Soul Altar. It has a great effect on alleviating the injuries on my body. It might even be able to heal them …"
"As long as you guys help me get there, I'll give you Blood Rogue's information, Brass Ring's Thunder Flame Rock, and Jay's Lake of Sighs.
Not even a milligram will be missing! "
The old witch promised once again.
However, Leylin did not believe it. This old witch seemed to have other plans.
"You and I have been good friends for many years. If I don't help you, who else should I help?" Jay was the first to speak.
His voice was neither male nor female, but it had a very strange tone to it.
"Alright!
I'm just asking! "Brass Ring also began to concede.
"What about you, Blood Rogue?"
Blood Rogue? "The old witch looked at Leylin.
"As long as you don't have the intention to make use of us and make us risk our lives for you, I naturally have no objections!" Leylin coldly snorted.
"That's good!"
The old witch looked at the silver light emitting from the passage, "Alright, the passage should be completely stable now.
We'll go out! "
Following which, the old witch's eyes burned with fervent desire.
She directly stepped into the passage.
Leylin and the other two looked at each other and followed.
The dazzling silver light was instantly released, completely swallowing the four of them.
"Weng weng!"
Leylin glanced at the surrounding scenery.
What entered his eyes was a black passage that seemed to be made of some unknown metal. The surface of the wall reflected Leylin's and the others' shadows.
However, the shadows looked somewhat distorted, as if they were laughing in a creepy manner.
"Solidified illusionary control?"
Leylin smiled indifferently, and with a flash of black light in his eyes, he immediately broke free from this state.
Following which, he heard a buzzing sound.
Following the voice was a large patch of grey, gloomy clouds. As they neared, Leylin discovered that these clouds were densely packed with grey moth-like organisms.
These organisms were covered in fur, and each of their large wings had the image of a black eye. They looked extremely strange.
"Be careful!
It's the Spirit Devouring Moths! "The old witch was the first to shout.
"Don't come into contact with the powder that they sprinkle, or else your soul and spiritual force will be continuously corroded!"
At the same time, the old witch opened her mouth and let out a sharp whistle. A sound wave visible to the naked eye shot out like a cannonball.
* Boom! *
The grey clouds immediately lessened, and at the same time, a large amount of grey powder sprinkled down, as if it was snowing.
* Shua! *
When he heard that the old witch had handed over the Spirit Devouring Moths, Leylin's heart became more vigilant. Now, a layer of scarlet light appeared on his body, blocking the grey powder outside.
[Host has been attacked by an unknown powder. This attack has an adhering effect!]
[Body surface defensive potion activated. Beginning to adjust frequency, shaking … Powder adhering effect removed!] The A.I. Chip's prompt appeared in front of Leylin's eyes.
"What a bunch of troublesome things!"
Leylin had seen this type of adhering effect in the Four Seasons Garden's library. After this attack was launched, it would stick to the opponent's body. Once the light barrier was removed before the powder was completely removed, it would trigger the magic effect of the powder and carry out a second attack.
"Crimson Palm!"
Leylin's hands turned red in an instant. Following which, he adopted an offensive stance and fiercely clawed at the air in front of him!
* Bang! *
Two blood-red claw phantoms flashed in the air, surrounding the Spirit Devouring Moths from the left and right, and then pressing down on the centre!
Countless moths were torn to shreds by the bloody claws, and their broken wings and grey powder flew everywhere.
[Host's Crimson Palm's theoretical power: 20 degrees. Actual power: 34 degrees. The Crimson Palm's power has reached a critical value, activating additional attack!]
Following the A.I. Chip's prompt, the bloody claw phantoms in the air suddenly trembled, and large amounts of blood-red flames appeared on the surface of their hands, burning the scattered limbs and remains in the air.
There wasn't even a trace of black smoke, and these Spirit Devouring Moths were directly turned into ashes in the bloody flames.
"Is this the spell that made Blood Rogue famous — Crimson Palm?
Why is it so powerful? "
Brass Ring looked at Leylin in astonishment.
In the entire dark Magi organisation, Leylin's role as Blood Rogue belonged to the younger generation, and some of the commonly used spells had also been revealed.
However, Brass Ring only knew that Leylin knew this spell, and had never thought that it could achieve such great might!
"You've improved a lot recently!"
The old witch secretly transmitted her voice to Leylin.
Compared to Brass Ring's rough estimation, the old witch, who had just exchanged blows with the Spirit Devouring Moths, had a better understanding of how strange and difficult these creatures were to deal with. However, Leylin had only used one spell to completely deal with them, which made the old witch very surprised.
It seemed that from the moment they had met, this ally and partner had been growing at an astonishing rate!
"This kind of power, your elemental essence conversion is over 50%?" The old witch secretly transmitted her voice to Leylin to ask.
"What do you think?" Leylin asked indifferently.
"Hehe … The higher your strength, the more advantageous it is for me. After all, compared to Brass Ring, you, who have signed a contract with me, are much more reliable!"
The old witch spouted nonsense that even she herself did not believe as she made another promise, "As long as you help me this time, I can give you not only the information on spiritual force compression, but also a million magic crystals.
Not only can I give you information on mental strength compression, but I can also give you an additional 1,000,000 Magical Crystals. I can even give you my position as a senior member of the organisation! "
"The position of an elder can be transferred?"
Leylin was a little surprised. The dark Magi organisation that he had joined, the Thousand Meddling Hands, did not have a fixed leader or anything like that. As for the rank 2 dark Magus, he only had contact with a few elders.
From time to time, the organisation would organise gatherings and trade fairs, allowing the members to look for opportunities.
Once an elder felt that the clues found by a member were worth doing, he would gather the members of the organisation and plunder it. The first elder and member to offer up the information would be able to obtain an additional share of the profits after the plunder.
From this, it could be seen that becoming an elder was equivalent to having a leader position in the dark Magi organisation, and one's status was immediately different.
"It's naturally not possible for regular organisations, but who asked us to be backed by a dark Magi organisation?" The old witch transmitted her voice with a wry smile.
"In fact, apart from me, the other elders have already been changed a few times. Also, due to my poor condition recently, there are many people in the organisation who want to step on me to get a higher position …"
The old witch's explanation was very reasonable, but Leylin did not really believe it.
"Alright!
Since I've accepted your deposit, I will naturally do my best in the upcoming expedition! "Leylin agreed.
The two of them communicated very quickly, and only after the transaction was completed did the blood-red flames in the air extinguish.
The old witch was duty-bound to lead the way, and after a few minutes, the four of them arrived at a fork in the road.
