Ye Kunlun bore no enmity towards the barbarians. Why would he slaughter them without reason, other than to investigate the curse of Long Qi's bloodline?
Afterward, the three left the Hidden Buddha Cave. The staff member who had disappeared reappeared, but his eyes were filled with terror!
Leaving the Hidden Buddha Cave, Ye Kunlun headed towards where the挂架 (guàjià - hanging racks) were sold. A middle-aged man with a full beard was selling Buddha pendants.
Seeing Ye Kunlun and the other two approaching, he quickly smiled, "Esteemed sirs, please take a Buddha statue home for peace. The Buddhas from the Hidden Buddha Cave are the most efficacious."
"Efficacious?" Ye Kunlun's gaze turned cold, his tone somewhat unfriendly. "I think you're selling malevolent Buddha pendants, aren't you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing this, the boss's face darkened, and he looked at Ye Kunlun with increased vigilance and coldness.
"Speak, what is this Four-Eyed Buddha pendant?" Ye Kunlun asked, looking at him coldly.
The boss glared at Ye Kunlun and waved his hand. "I don't know what you're talking about. If you're not buying, leave quickly and don't delay my business here!"
Ye Kunlun had no intention of leaving. He casually picked up a Four-Eyed Buddha pendant and found it was indeed made of the same material as An Xiaoqiao's.
"What are you doing?!"
The middle-aged man shouted, his face showing a fierce expression.
Following his loud cry, the bosses of the nearby stalls instantly stood up, directly surrounding Ye Kunlun and the other two.
Seeing this, Ye Kunlun chuckled.
With a swish, Sasha's hand produced a gleaming dagger!
"Let me guess, if I'm not mistaken, you must also be a victim of Dream Soul Syndrome!" Ye Kunlun said with a cold smile, looking at the boss in front of him.
Seeing Sasha draw her dagger, the boss also produced a curved moon saber from under his stall with a swish!
"Get lost! If you're looking for trouble, my saber has no eyes!" the boss glared at Ye Kunlun, threatening him.
"I apologize, but I won't leave until you give me an explanation today!" Ye Kunlun said calmly.
"Then don't blame me for being merciless!"
Saying this, the boss directly swung the curved moon saber in his hand towards Ye Kunlun's head.
Ye Kunlun snorted and struck out with a hand chop. The boss cried out, and the curved moon saber in his hand fell into Ye Kunlun's grasp.
The next second, the saber was at the boss's neck, its edge drawing a minute wound.
Feeling the pain, the boss's expression changed drastically. "You're courting death! Believe it or not, if you harm me, you won't be able to leave Kanda Town?!"
Ye Kunlun glanced at Sasha.
*Sssshh—*
Without a word, Sasha's dagger severed one of his little fingers!
"Ah—!!"
The boss let out a piercing scream, large beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Brothers, attack! Kill them!" The boss's face contorted with ferocity.
As he spoke, the other vendors instantly grabbed their weapons and lunged at Ye Kunlun and the other two!
Sasha shielded Ye Kunlun, her gaze cold as she watched everyone!
Ye Kunlun, however, sensed that the moment these people made their move, the strange power within them also stirred.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—*
The crowd was incredibly fast, and Sasha could barely cope.
Ye Kunlun sneered, "It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
With that, Ye Kunlun unleashed his terrifying aura, which surged like a tide towards the more than ten vendors.
Under Ye Kunlun's terrifying power, more than ten people were sent flying!
"Roar—"
The more than ten people who were sent flying landed with extreme agility. Their previously calm eyes were gone, replaced by ferocity as they bared their teeth at Ye Kunlun.
Sasha and Yan Shuo saw this and knew they were being controlled.
"Boss, they are all victims of Dream Soul Syndrome!"
Yan Shuo shivered. The symptoms of these people were exactly the same as An Xiaoqiao's.
*Whoosh—*
Before Ye Kunlun could reply, one of the stall owners transformed into a shadow and shot towards Ye Kunlun!
Ye Kunlun snorted, "Overestimating yourself!"
*Bang—*
A mist of blood exploded.
Ye Kunlun, too lazy to waste words, began to kill.
In a few breaths, more than ten stall owners exploded into a bloody mist.
The bearded boss was stunned, Ye Kunlun's strength far exceeding his imagination.
Yan Shuo was also dumbfounded; it was his first time seeing Ye Kunlun kill so ruthlessly!
Thinking of the times he had bantered with Ye Kunlun, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Do you want to live, or do you want the same fate as them?"
Ye Kunlun asked him coldly.
"Kill me! Lord Buddha will avenge us!"
Saying this, the man stiffened his neck and sliced it across the curved moon saber, dying a swift death!
"Ah, this..." Yan Shuo felt a chill run down his neck.
"These people's minds have been completely taken over by that strange power. It's no exaggeration to call them puppets!"
Ye Kunlun tossed the curved moon saber aside. "It seems many of the previous Dream Soul Syndrome patients have already completely fallen into being puppets."
"Boss, I've already sent the message to Shuoshu Pavilion. We'll definitely find everyone within a week!"
"What I worry about is that Dream Soul Syndrome didn't start recently, but has been around for a long time, only now reaching Kanda Town!"
Ye Kunlun's expression was solemn.
If his guess was correct, no one knew how many people had been controlled by that strange power.
Ye Kunlun's words also startled Sasha and Yan Shuo.
If it were truly as Ye Kunlun said, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Sasha, how many towns are there within five hundred kilometers of the Northern Frontier?" Ye Kunlun looked at Sasha and instructed, "Investigate as quickly as possible to see if anyone in these towns has shown symptoms of Dream Soul Syndrome!"
"Alright, I'll do it!" Sasha agreed.
"The most important thing now is to find the source of the Four-Eyed Buddha pendants!" Ye Kunlun frowned, his eyes showing some seriousness. 筷書閣
Sasha seemed to recall something and said to Ye Kunlun, "Sir, there's a temple in the area of the Northern Frontier Army. Is it possible?"
"Why would the Northern Frontier Army have a temple?" Ye Kunlun raised his eyebrows, looking at Sasha with some confusion.
"I heard that a hundred years ago, there was a war on the border, and many people died. It seems that to appease the spirits of the deceased, a temple was built next to the Northern Frontier Army a century ago."
Sasha replied uncertainly.
"You two go and do what I've assigned. I'll personally visit the Northern Frontier Army!"
Ye Kunlun made up his mind. His intuition told him that the strange power was highly likely related to Long Qi's bloodline curse!
Upon returning to Kanda Town, Sasha got busy.
Yan Shuo returned to his room and made several phone calls.
Ye Kunlun left his room, preparing to visit Wei Cangyun at the Northern Frontier Army.
As a result, as soon as he went downstairs, he ran into an acquaintance again!
"Ye Kunlun, it's you!"
Yanzi, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, saw Ye Kunlun. First, her eyes showed surprise, then her eyes turned red, revealing intense anger.
"It's all your fault for harming the Major General, I'll kill you!"
Saying this, Yanzi flashed and charged towards Ye Kunlun.
