Chapter 256 Dark Omen Sorcery

"Tasha, what's wrong?" The three of them rushed over quickly, and Billy hugged Tasha in his arms.

"Daddy, there's a little girl lying over there!" Tasha pointed to a big rock not far away, her face turning pale.

Billy and the others looked over, only to see a small girl of fifteen or sixteen lying motionless on the ground. Her face lacked any trace of color, her lips were turning purple, and her entire body appeared as thin as a skeleton, almost as if she was just skin and bones, weighed less than forty pounds.

"Boss, there's still a faint sign of life." Stout hurried over and examined the situation, then took out a few silver needles from his pocket and inserted them into crucial acupoints on the little girl.

"Wife, you stay here with Tasha and wait for me," Billy gently set Tasha down and spoke to Harleen. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Harleen nodded slightly.

"How's it going?" Billy walked up to Stout.

"Pulse is faint, vitality is fading, it's a close call." Stout responded.

"Hmm?" Billy frowned and reached out to feel the little girl's pulse.

"Boss, there's something strange about this!" After Billy withdrew his hand, Stout spoke again with a slightly solemn expression.

"Wake her up first!" Billy's face looked grim as he nodded slightly.

The symptoms that Stout could see, he could see as well. Moreover, he could see more than Stout could. The little girl seemed possessed by a sinister spirit, enveloped in a malevolent aura. This condition was definitely not caused by an ordinary illness.

As his words trailed off, Billy placed his hand over the girl's heart. A surge of powerful and radiant energy flowed from his palm into her body.

After a few minutes, the girl coughed dryly and struggled to open her eyes. Her gaze appeared vacant and lifeless, as if she was in a detached state.

"Little one, what's your name?" Billy spoke softly.

"What's my name..." The little girl's tone was weak and she looked confused.

"Do you know why you're here?" Billy asked again.

"I... don't know..." the little girl shook her head slightly.

"Do you know where your home is? Or do you know your parents' names?" Billy furrowed his brow once again.

"I don't know..." The little girl struggled with each word she spoke.

"Boss, she's not good. I suppose that her memory has been..." Stout took a deep breath before speaking.

"Use the Nine Needles of Secret Essences!" Billy moved his hand away from her chest.

"You mean she...?" Stout was slightly taken aback.

Billy nodded. "Let's begin!"

"Alright," Stout nodded.

Right after that, Stout gave his wrist a quick twist, releasing the silver needle from his hand. The needle zipped through the air, heading straight for eight major pressure points on the little girl's forehead, solar plexus, and sternum. As a final move, Stout held the silver needle between his fingers, his gaze turning intense. He aimed the needle at the girl's lower abdomen acupuncture point. As he drove the needle in, a shadowy aura, almost like a wisp, surged out from within the girl's body. Without any delay, it swiftly darted through the air, flashing a few times before hurtling at lightning speed towards Billy's forehead. It was as if it was in a hurry to find its next host.

"Watch out!" Stout shouted.

Billy's eyes sank and a burst of momentum erupted from him, immediately wrapping tightly around the evil spirit.

"Break!" Billy uttered in a low voice, and the hostility immediately exploded and dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

"You hit the nail on the head, boss." After a moment, Stout blurted out loud.

"Do you recognize it? What technique is this?" Billy turned to Stout and asked.

"Extracting the essence forcefully, collecting yin to supplement yang, attracting evil spirits to entangle oneself, and nurturing the yin element. This is the long-lost Dark Omen Technique!" Stout took a deep breath before responding.

Secret Essences was not only unparalleled in medicine, but also incomparable in mysticism. As one of the two prodigies of Secret Essences, Stout had naturally heard of such dark magic.

"Not bad, you've recognized it!" Billy replied.

"The Dark Omen Technique is said to have been created by the Dark Omen Scholar a hundred years ago. It involves using yin energy to supplement yang energy and enhance one's own cultivation, with extremely cruel methods that target young girls who have yet to experience adulthood." Stout spoke in a low voice.

"Later on, under the pursuit of righteous individuals, Dark Omen Scholar fell off a cliff and the technique was lost. But now it has appeared again here!"

"Could it be that the Dark Omen Scholar didn't die back then?"

"Dark Omen Scholar should have died back then, but whether or not the technique survived is uncertain." Billy furrowed his brows slightly.

"It's so despicable, someone is still practicing such an evil technique!" Stout's face was filled with anger. "This little girl may have escaped from their hideout. Their base shouldn't be far from here. I'll immediately have Judge bring people over to seal off this area!"

"No need," Billy shook his head. "If we startle them now, they might move their base elsewhere."

"But she might not wake up for some time and even if she does wake up, her memory recovery is still unknown." Stout spoke again.

"Let's take her back to Ozin and let Judge find a place for her there." After some thought, Billy continued.

"Unless I miss my guess, they will come looking for her themselves. They won't let someone carrying their secrets leave alive. And although we've cleared away any traces of dark omen energy on her body, those who were affected by Dark Omen Technique will bear a faint mark of it which should make them easier to find."

"I see," Stout nodded his head.

Due to this incident, Tasha's rowing project would need to be postponed until next time. At first Tasha was naturally unhappy about this but after being comforted by Stout for a bit she became cheerful once more.

"Daddy, what kind of illness does the little girl have?" After driving away in their car Tasha looked over at the small girl sitting in passenger seat and asked curiously.

"She has an unusual illness so we're taking her straight to hospital." Billy smiled as he answered Tasha's question

"Poor little girl! She looks so skinny!" Tasha said with sadness evident in her voice

"Don't worry, Tasha. She will recover soon enough."Billy patted Tasha's small head gently.

"Really? That's great news!" Tasha said, happily relaxing her eyebrows.

"Billy, is she really okay?" Harleen furrowed her eyebrows, able to tell that the little girl's situation was far from ordinary.

"Yea, don't worry, Harleen." Billy replied with a faint smile.

Harleen nodded in agreement.

Two hours later, back in Ozin, Stout dropped off Harleen and Tasha at Royal View Villas before driving with Billy to the SHADOW base.

Upon arriving there, Stout carried the little girl into the courtyard of their base.

"Boss, what's going on?" Judge walked out from inside and asked after taking a look at the little girl in Stout's arms.
