Chapter 780: Emergency Jade

Li Yang knelt down and looked at the third prince carefully.

At this time, the Third Prince had completely lost his human form, and his entire body was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His skin was a strange blue-grey color, covered with large and small black spots.

Fishy pus oozes from these black spots, emitting a nauseating odor.

The Third Prince's eyes had completely lost their sparkle, leaving only two empty eye sockets.

His mouth was open wide, revealing a set of jagged black teeth, making him look like a thousand-year-old zombie.

"Li...Daozhang Li..." the third prince said with difficulty, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly hear it, "Help...save me..."

Li Yang shook his head: "Sorry, I can't help you."

"The Poison Dragon Cult's soul-moving technique has completely destroyed your body and soul... You can no longer be called a human being."

When the Third Prince heard this, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Then...then what should I do..." he murmured to himself, "I don't want to die...I don't want to die like this..."

Li Yang sighed: "You are already dead, Third Prince."

"Now you are nothing but a walking corpse controlled by evil magic."

"Rather than continue to suffer this kind of pain, it's better to get relief as soon as possible."

With that said, Li Yang took out a talisman from his arms.

When the third prince saw this, he suddenly became excited: "No...don't kill me...I don't want to die yet..."

Li Yang ignored his plea and put the talisman on the third prince's forehead.

"Rest in peace."

As Li Yang finished speaking, the talisman suddenly burned and emitted a dazzling golden light.

The Third Prince let out a shrill scream, and his entire body instantly turned into a pile of ashes.

At this moment, the prince came over.

"Daozhang Li, are you okay?" the prince asked with concern.

Li Yang shook his head: "I'm fine. But Your Highness, why do you appear at this time?"

The prince smiled:

"I have been secretly investigating the third uncle's matter. When I learned that you came to investigate alone, I immediately brought someone over."

Li Yang nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness... If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have ended up here today."

The prince waved his hand: "You're welcome, Master Li. Thanks to you this time, I can expose the Poison Dragon Sect's conspiracy."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the pile of ashes on the ground.

"This is..."

Li Yang sighed: "This is the fate of the third prince."

"It's really sad to be used by the Poison Dragon Cult and end up like this."

When the prince heard this, his face became a little ugly.

Although the third prince has done many wrong things, he is his uncle after all.

Now that he saw him ending up like this, the prince couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At this moment, a forbidden soldier ran over.

"Your Highness, we have captured several people from the Poison Dragon Cult, but the old man escaped."

The prince nodded: "I understand, continue to investigate, and we must catch that guy."

"Yes!" The Imperial Army took the order and left.

The prince turned to Li Yang: "Daozhang Li, what should we do next?"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said: "Although the people of the Poison Dragon Sect have been temporarily repelled, they will definitely not give up."

"Since they are so interested in your empire, if you want to secure your position, it is best to catch them all once and for all."

The prince nodded in agreement: "Indeed... However, this matter may not be that easy."

"The Poison Dragon Sect has been hidden for many years and has deep roots."

"It will probably take a lot of time and energy to eradicate them completely."

Li Yang smiled: "Your Highness is right, but having this idea is already a big step forward."

"As long as we follow the existing clues, we will be able to find the Poison Dragon Cult's lair in no time."

When the prince heard this, there was some praise in his eyes:

"What Master Li said is true."

"But I, Daxing, have been isolated from this kind of strange power and chaos for many years... It would be very difficult to deal with it."

"I wonder if Daozhang Li can help me again to eliminate evil and promote good for the people of Daxing?"

"When it's done, people all over the world will be grateful!"

Li Yang nodded slightly: "Okay, I will try my best to investigate this matter."

"But right now..." He paused, "I still want to take a rest first..."

The prince quickly said: "This is natural! Daozhang Li's health is in serious condition, and I will instruct the imperial doctor to continue to treat you."

"After your injury recovers, we will discuss the next step."

Li Yang nodded in agreement.

In this way, the two talked for a while, and the prince left with the imperial army.

Li Yang stayed where he was and checked the abandoned house a little, hoping to find some useful clues.

Whether it is the Poison Dragon Sect or the Third Prince.

They all ran to this abandoned house.

There must be something hidden in this place.

Unfortunately, after a careful search, there was nothing special found in the entire yard except some decayed furniture.

It seemed that the people of the Poison Dragon Cult had disposed of everything that might reveal their identity when they left.

Li Yang sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a slightly raised floor tile in the corner.

He walked over and carefully pried open the floor tile.

Unexpectedly, there was a small wooden box hidden under the floor tiles.

Li Yang took out the wooden box and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no mechanism, he slowly opened it.

Inside the wooden box was a yellowed ancient book and a black jade pendant.

This ancient book was very similar to the scroll buried in the yard by the Third Prince.

With some curiosity, Li Yang first picked up the ancient book, opened it and was slightly surprised.

There is no doubt that this is a secret book that records various evil arts.

Moreover, it is more complete than those copied by the Third Prince.

Among them, there is not only the soul transfer technique used by Chishezi just now, but also many unheard-of terrible spells.

Li Yang quickly browsed through it and was surprised.

Although not as good as "Taiyuan Xuanzhang", the secret methods in this book are also quite terrifying.

Most of these are some soul refining methods based on the life essence, which are extremely vicious.

I don’t know whether the people of the Poison Dragon Cult deliberately hid the things here, or were ordered to come here to find this thing.

In any case, because of the sudden appearance of the imperial guards, the people of the Poison Dragon Cult temporarily left here.

These things will naturally belong to him.

After putting the ancient book in his pocket, he picked up the black jade pendant and observed it carefully.

The jade pendant was pitch black, and a lifelike poisonous snake was carved on it.

Two red gems were inlaid in the eyes of the snake, flashing a strange light in the moonlight.

Li Yang looked at the jade pendant carefully and always felt that it was a little unusual.

But he couldn't tell what was different.

In order to prevent the Poison Dragon Cult from making a comeback, Li Yang quickly put the jade pendant in his arms and quickly left the yard.

After returning to his residence, Li Yang immediately began to study the jade pendant.

This thing was covered with a layer of restriction.

He tried to crack the secret of the jade pendant in various ways, but all failed.
