Chapter 312.3: Releasing the Devil in the Heart

He did not not know why the little beast had always disliked him so much.

No, it seemed like besides Qing Yu, it had never shown a liking for anyone else.

Lou Jun Yao was following just behind, amazingly silent the entire time. Even the talkative Xun Luo had not gone up to speak to him because when a certain person was in a bad mood, it was clear and plain for everyone to see, where the aura surrounding him would become exceptionally sinister.

As they walked along, the man’s footsteps suddenly halted.

Xun Luo was just about to ask what was wrong when he saw the man’s face turn grim, his devilishly alluring violet eyes turned to stare piercingly at a particular spot. Immediately, the crashing sound of something breaking suddenly rang out through the air.

Everyone’s face turned severe, as their bodies tensed up warily.

Little Monster moved languidly into the direction where the source of the sound had come from and then said in a lazy voice: “And I have been saying that I felt a pair of eyes following us all this time. Turns out that I’m right.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to look, and saw several mirror-like glass fragments lying quietly on the floor, a strange light reflecting off them.

“Isn’t that….. a scrying mirror?” Someone asked in a surprised voice.

Upon hearing what it was, people who did not know it then started to react.

So that was the scrying mirror of legends, which was linked to its twin on the other end, allowing someone to clearly see everything that was going on here on this side, like a hidden pair of spying eyes.

But it was a very rare and precious artifact, where forging a superior quality pair would require an unimaginable amount of effort and resources. Hence, one would be hard pressed to even see them throughout the entire Cloud Heaven.

But, that was not all. In this place they were at at that moment, after Lou Jun Yao smashed the scrying glass, a dizzying amount of blinding flashes appeared before their eyes, revealing countless pieces of those scrying glasses, the light so strong that they were unable to open their eyes.

“What is going on here? How could there be so many scrying glasses everywhere? !”

“Something doesn’t feel right. Scrying glasses are extremely rare and amazing treasures and they cannot be destroyed so easily as they are always concealed and hidden among many multiple copies of itself, unless the real source artifact itself is broken. With so many replica scrying glasses all around, not only would one be unable to differentiate which one is the real one, their spirit energy would also be depleted from being absorbed by the evil mirrors which would kill them!”

Scrying glasses were so rare not only because the materials to forge them were very rare, but it was also because a demon sprite had to be sealed in the mirror who lived by bewitching and mesmerizing people’s minds, feeding on the energy essence that they manage to absorb from their victims.

And it was said that when they manage to absorb the energy essence of a thousand people, their jobs would be deemed to be done and the demon sprites would then be able to break out of their mirror prisons, to turn into a human from their demon sprite forms, becoming a person of great evil and wickedness, formed out of the evil thoughts and desires from a thousand human lives..
