Han Mingqi scanned his surroundings, a suspicion of a rare spiritual object residing within the room dawning on him.
Shen Jingye stated plainly, "No need to search. A dark energy carrier from the Judge is present, or what you might term a Virtue Cultivation Spiritual Object.

Its defining characteristic is the ceaseless amplification of punishment. This instance brought suffocation; the next will undoubtedly be far more dire. Are you prepared?"
Han Mingqi bowed his head, maintaining his silence.
Shen Jingye offered a smile, "Allow me to pose the question once more: what was your purpose at Villa No. 9 within the Sky City Community?"

Shen Jingye sighed, shaking his head. "Silence will be interpreted by this dark energy carrier as outright defiance."
The instant these words left his lips, Han Mingqi convulsed as if a jolt of electricity surged through his very being.

"And what business did you have with Kang Zhenchang?"
