Fifth Prince Xiao Jinghong possesses the National Sacrificial Stone Divine Artifact!
Li Yan immediately had an epiphany.
If not for the divine artifact's concealment, how could he have sensed nothing?
He had seen the living dead before.
Those old ghosts in the Wushan Goddess Palace were living dead, using some kind of Secret Technique to bind their souls within their flesh.
This technique is a forbidden evil skill in the Mystical Sect, "offending the Three Officials, disordering Yin and Yang," and once practiced, is hunted by the Law Enforcement Hall.
There are many corresponding evil skills.
Such as the "Yin Talisman Corpse Suppressing Technique" from the Xiangxi Witches.
They blend vermillion from Chenzhou with black donkey hoof powder and draw the "Soul-binding Talisman" on the seven orifices, using Yin Sha to delay the body's decay.
