Chapter 455 - 449 The Great Utility of the Sword Manual of Extinction
"The disciple’s friend, having not seen him leave his home for several days, came to visit half an hour ago. After getting no response to his knocks and Talisman Communication, he pushed the door open and found these two dried corpses inside the courtyard,"
Wanji Peak Sect Leader Yi Hanshuang wore a look of solemn concern, his expression filled with extreme anxiety. The Blood Demon that had possessed Great Elder Xue Dao had previously caused Wanji Peak tremendous losses.
To his dismay, just as that incident had settled down, signs of the Blood Demon had emerged again. Although these two dried corpses were in different death states, there was no need for a detailed investigation to surmise that they were the work of the Blood Demon. He urgently asked Bai Xin to request Ye Zhen’s presence for a consultation, for in their eyes, Ye Zhen had ample experience in dealing with the Blood Demon!
The two corpses, one of them being the owner of this small courtyard in the Early-stage Spirit Summoning Realm, were entitled to a single-entry small courtyard and a maid according to Wanji Peak’s treatment of martial artists in the Spirit Summoning Realm.
The other corpse was the maid of the courtyard, but the two had died slightly differently.
Both bodies were shriveled up as if drained of all fluids, clearly victims of the Blood Demon’s bloodsucking. The only difference was that the Spirit Summoning Realm martial artist had a fist-sized hole in the top of his skull.
As if something had burrowed out from inside him.
Viewing this hole, Ye Zhen inwardly sighed. Indeed, what that elder named Ning Shiyi had predicted came true.
The Blood Demon Guardian Blood Spirit had used its Avatar to extend its life, planting a Blood Demon Seed within, and to facilitate care, placed it nearby. As for the maid, a mere mortal, she was easily possessed and drained of all essence blood by the Blood Demon.
Gauging the degree of their withering, they must have been dead for at least two days. In other words, the remains of the Blood Spirit had escaped two days ago.
