Chapter 4782: Spiritual Power Mutation

"Are you suspecting that I'm lying to you?!" Sha Mushi grew angry.

"Hehe… no, no, I was just asking…" Xiao Fan said jovially.

From Sha Mushi's reaction, Xiao Fan could tell that she was definitely hiding something from him.

Rumors outside said that Sha Mushi and Xiao Li were on very good terms; when Xiao Li went into seclusion, Sha Mushi even sent people to guard him. Given Sha Mushi's character of valuing loyalty and friendship, how could she not care about Xiao Li regarding such a significant Opportunity like the Ancient Burial Holy Land?!

It was impossible; according to Xiao Fan's understanding of Sha Mushi, it was absolutely impossible!

Xiao Fan pondered what method he should use to learn the truth from Sha Mushi's mouth.

At this moment, a powerful expert suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura…

Sha Mushi and Xiao Fan were startled, and the others were the same, all looking toward this person together.

This person was at the Third Layer of True Emperor Realm, named Teng Wu. He was a Prodigy who had followed Sha Mushi onto the battlefield. Back when Xiao Fan used the pseudonym Wei Zhongshan, he had even dealt with him.

"You… Teng Wu! What's wrong with you?!"

"Teng Wu! What's going on with you?!"

"Teng Wu!!"

"…"

Everyone was shocked. The aura Teng Wu was emitting at this moment was eerie, and his Realm was rising frantically. He was no longer at the Third Layer of True Emperor Realm; he had at least the strength of the Sixth Layer of True Emperor Realm.

"I… I can't control my own… spiritual power…" A shrill voice came from Teng Wu's mouth, and his eyes gradually became hollow.

Seeing this scene, Sha Mushi was greatly alarmed: "You… you devoured the spiritual power here?!"

The others suddenly realized and understood what was happening.

When they first entered the Ancient Burial Holy Land, Sha Mushi had said that the spiritual power here was problematic and forbade them from absorbing and refining it.

Yet there were still those who were disobedient and secretly devoured the spiritual power of the Ancient Burial Holy Land…

"Milady, what should we do?!"

"Milady, find a way to save Teng Wu!"

"Milady!"

"…"

"Damn it!" Sha Mushi gritted her teeth hard. Teng Wu had followed her in battle for many years; how could she just stand by and watch him die?!

Sha Mushi immediately took action, suppressing Teng Wu with lightning-fast methods.

Xiao Fan was clear about Sha Mushi's strength; although she was still at the Ninth Layer of True Emperor Realm, she definitely had power at the Emperor Lord Realm level.

Unfortunately, though Sha Mushi suppressed Teng Wu, she could not awaken his Divine Soul. Teng Wu was like a changed person, having gone completely mad…

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!" Teng Wu roared, refusing to listen to anything, with only slaughter in his eyes.

"Milady, what should we do?!"

"Milady…"

"…"

Many people spoke up to ask, each one burning with anxiety.

Xiao Fan saw their reactions and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. They weren't concerned about Teng Wu's life or death; rather, it was because these people had also devoured the spiritual power of the Ancient Burial Holy Land and were worried they would end up like Teng Wu.

"There's no way…" Sha Mushi shook her head and sighed: "We can only… kill him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was greatly shocked and asked Sha Mushi for the reason.

"He absorbed too much spiritual power. His consciousness was not just tainted; it has been completely wiped out… The real Teng Wu is already dead," Sha Mushi sighed.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was stunned. As expected, Sha Mushi knew part of the truth about the Ancient Burial Holy Land… she really was hiding something.

"This…" Upon hearing this, the prodigies who had secretly devoured the spiritual power of the Ancient Burial Holy Land were all dumbfounded.

Without a second thought, they immediately tried to find ways to expel the spiritual power they had devoured into their bodies.

However, while there was no reaction if they didn't expel it, now that they wanted to expel the spiritual power devoured into their bodies, their own bodies suddenly became restless.

"My… my limbs, it hurts, hurts, hurts…"

"I can't control it, this power…"

"Milady, save me!!"

"…"

"What? You guys actually…" Sha Mushi was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that eight of her subordinates would go mad all at once.

The spiritual power they had absorbed into their bodies was fine as long as it wasn't expelled, but once they tried to expel it, this spiritual power began to resist, attempting to seize the nest prematurely…
