Chapter 1497: This is the Eye Demon

Chen Jin fainted, but with Chen Yu here, the bleeding on his body was stopped very quickly.

Looking at the monster pinned to the cabin, the thing twisted and struggled, hissing and opening its mouth at Chen Yu, looking quite ferocious.

"What is this thing?" Su Yan stared fixedly at the thing, her whole person somewhat shocked.

"A type of monster from Fusang legend, called an Eye Demon, but it is similar to the Gu of Huaxia," Chen Yu said indifferently. "This thing can control a person's mind; Chen Jin was likely left alive on purpose."

"Because the Eye Demon was left in his body by an Onmyoji to let him infiltrate our ranks and steal intelligence?" Su Yan's expression changed.

"Yes, that's exactly it," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "This thing is very vicious. Fortunately, I probed his consciousness with Mental Power just now, which made the Eye Demon feel uneasy and expose itself."

"What on earth are they trying to do?" Su Yan's expression changed drastically. According to what Chen Yu said, this wave of Onmyoji had come with ill intent.

This matter had already risen to another level; if it were to deteriorate further, it would be the rhythm of a war between the Divine Way and Dragon Breath.

"I don't know. Wouldn't we know if we caught a few and interrogated them?" Chen Yu sneered. He looked at the island ahead, then closed his eyes. His Divine Sense was released in this instant, and his consciousness slowly enveloped the island.

A layer of light invisible to the naked eye appeared, covering the top of the small island. This layer of cyan light was the Barrier of the Onmyoji; inside and outside were already two different worlds.

Even as strong as Chen Yu, whose Mental Power had already condensed into Divine Sense, he still had no way to peer through this layer of Barrier.

"So powerful." Chen Yu locked his brows and muttered to himself, "The ones who came this time are indeed not ordinary Onmyoji; at the very least, they are figures at the level of a High-level Divine Official of the Divine Way."

"Then do you have a way to get in?" Su Yan asked.

Chen Yu did not answer. His Divine Sense patrolled the island for a round and finally found a breakthrough point. In the due north direction of the island, there was a place where the Barrier's power seemed a bit weak.

"Drive to the due north; there is a breakthrough point there," Chen Yu retracted his Divine Sense and said.

"Good, we will follow Mr. Chen's instructions." Su Yan had people turn the boat around and arrived at the due north.

"It's right here." Chen Yu pointed to a place where the Mind Power of the Barrier was relatively weak. "We can use this place as a breakthrough point to get in."

"I'll take a team with you to go in," Su Yan said.

"No need. I'll go explore first; having too many people is actually not good," Chen Yu shook his head. "Besides, it's impossible to enter this place in large numbers; only a few people can get in."

"Then, I'll go with you." Su Yan gritted her teeth. "I am the person in charge; I cannot let you go in alone. That would make our team look so incompetent."

"Alright." Chen Yu gave a wry smile. "But you know the dangers inside."

"I know, don't worry, I won't hold you back," Su Yan said seriously. "I am not useless either."

"Let's go, head over." Chen Yu handed her a Talisman. "Wear it on your body; it will save your life at a critical moment."

The two took a raft and headed toward that due north direction, then Chen Yu took out Lichen and pried slightly at that spot, and a passage appeared.

After Su Yan went in, Chen Yu also slipped inside, and the Barrier restored itself, becoming as it was before.

After the two went in, Su Yan was first taken aback, seeing that this place and the outside were already two different worlds.

The outside world was currently at dusk, and the sky was still very bright, but inside here, it was already a state where one could not see their own fingers.

The lighting facilities on the surrounding island were still on, but inside, there were gusts of eerie wind, giving people a hair-raising feeling.

"Chen Yu, the difference between here and our world is just too great." Su Yan's brows were locked tight as she looked at the surroundings.

"The Barrier of an Onmyoji is separated from our world," Chen Yu said. "This place is filled with strange auras, such as shock, terror, fear, bitterness, and sorrow. Once entering the Barrier, those with weaker minds will have their minds lost."

Su Yan nodded slightly, and she looked at the map. "Let's go to the place where the laboratory goes up and take a look first."

"Good." Chen Yu nodded, and together with Su Yan, they walked toward the direction of the laboratory's ascent according to the instructions on the map.

Along the way, there were gusts of eerie wind, and there were also some vague shadows on the roadside. One by one, the shadows were like ghosts, either passing by the two or sweeping over them. An ice-cold, bone-chilling feeling surged into Su Yan's body, making her shrink her neck involuntarily.

"Do you feel very cold?" Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at Su Yan.

"Yes, it's not just simple cold, but that kind of bone-chilling cold," Su Yan nodded slightly.

"The Barrier of an Onmyoji comes partly from Dark Power, and the gods they worship also mostly exist in darkness, so inside the Barrier, one will feel bone-chilling cold," Chen Yu said. "If a person stays in the Barrier for a long time, it will affect their sanity."

Just at this moment, Su Yan stopped her footsteps abruptly. She stared at the front in surprise, revealing a trace of a shocked expression.

She saw that directly in front of her, there were several black-and-white transparent human figures. These figures were walking forward slowly; they appeared somewhat dazed, and at the same time, they seemed to be looking left and right as if searching for something.

"Those are..." Su Yan felt her whole body turn cold. The other party glanced at her, which made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Evil ghosts from Hell. In the Hell of Fusang, it is all filled with these kinds of evil ghosts. Their Barrier secretly connects to Hell, which is why these kinds of evil ghosts appear," Chen Yu said. "Don't worry, I'm here."

As he spoke, several transparent white human figures had already arrived before them. Chen Yu waved his right hand, and sharp Primordial Qi whistled away, forming a circle of light around the three figures.

The circle of light whistled and rose; the three white human figures suddenly froze on the spot, and then their bodies shattered like broken ice, crumbling piece by piece, then slid to the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did Su Yan let out a breath. She gripped the gun in her hand, feeling her palms full of cold sweat. Everything before her eyes shocked her immensely. She moved closer to Chen Yu involuntarily; the aura on Chen Yu's body made her feel much more at ease.

"Scared?" Chen Yu looked at her appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I'm not scared." Su Yan's face flushed red. Having her thoughts seen through, she felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, when she came just now, she had sworn to Chen Yu that she wouldn't hold him back, but the moment she turned her head, she was scared; this was a bit of a slap in the face.
