Not wanting the ear-piercing sound to disturb her, Kong Rui covered her ears.

She watched as Chao Bai stood quietly beside the furnace. His hand was still tightly wrapped around the furnace as spiritual energy was constantly injected.

Not knowing what he wanted to do, Kong Rui looked at him in confusion.

After a while, Kong Rui saw grayish-white gas floating out of the furnace.

She blinked desperately as Chao Bai reached out and took the grayish-white gas into his palm.

“What’s that?” Kong Rui asked.

Chao Bai held the gas tightly in his palm. After a while, he turned to face Kong Rui. “The last trace of spiritual energy left behind by those people.”

“Why is there such a thing?” Kong Rui couldn’t help but ask.

She had never heard of people who had been refined still having residual spiritual energy.

Chao Bai didn’t speak. He only stored the spiritual energy in a small bronze bottle.

“Let’s go. There’s nothing else here,” Chao Bai said as he held Kong Rui’s hand and walked in the other direction of the furnace.

Seeing this, the procuress screamed and followed behind. “Hey, wait for me. Don’t leave me here alone!”

As she spoke, she jogged after the two of them while paying attention to avoid the white bones that occasionally appeared under her feet.

She didn’t want to stay in such a gloomy and terrifying place anymore!

Kong Rui had no intention of leaving just like that. At least, she wouldn’t leave until she figured out what those marks on the wall were.

“What are those?” Kong Rui pointed at the mottled walls. “They’re not bloodstains, nor do they look like something that comes with this space.”

Chao Bai frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t answer immediately.

Kong Rui stood where she was and looked at Chao Bai steadily. “Don’t you suspect that something happened to the second elder of the Li family here? If that’s the case, is this furnace the thing that absorbs spiritual energy?”

Kong Rui asked the question on her mind and was anxious to find the answer.

Her two questions made the procuress’ eyes widen in surprise.

Chao Bai waved his hand, and the procuress immediately fell to the ground, unconscious.

“In other words, the person who sucked those people’s spiritual energy is very likely Zi Xuan?” The more Kong Rui guessed, the more incredulous she felt.

“Those so-called men from the various sects…” Kong Rui paused for a moment. “Could they be involved?”

“Absorbing spiritual energy… This is simply crueler than the methods of the demons!” Kong Rui said and couldn’t help but gasp. “What other dirty things are going on in the imperial capital?!”

Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui’s angry expression and said after a long time, “Those traces are a totem left behind by a tribe that has disappeared.”

“Totem?” Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai in confusion. “What’s it for?”

“Totems are used to trap the prey in a certain space and refine it with a special method to consolidate or even increase one’s cultivation level,” Chao Bai muttered softly.

Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai and asked softly, “Are you alright?”

Chao Bai came back to his senses quickly and said indifferently, “I’m fine. What else do you want to know?”

Kong Rui hesitated for a moment before asking, “You said that these totems came from a missing tribe. Then, is this a space built by that tribe?”

Chao Bai shook his head and replied, “No, this place is an imitation.”

“An imitation?” Kong Rui caught the main point. “Are you saying that there’s an identical place in that tribe?”
