Chapter 837 - : The Threat from Outside
The sun rose as usual, and under the sunlight, Old Jia’s body slowly burned. He struggled in agony, but he was nailed to the wall and unable to escape. Looking at the shady spots, his eyes were filled with despair and with a howl, he turned to ash.
"It really is like the rumors," Lin Xi sighed, while Jian Shen asked, "What’s wrong, have you heard of such people?"
Lin Xi nodded, "There is a creature in Western legend that appears to be human, but in fact, they feed on humans. Not like cannibals, rather they are known as vampires, feasting on human blood."
Tie Butou was confused, "But Old Jia was born and raised here, he’s not some vampire."
"There’s another rumor, that a regular person who drinks the blood of a vampire will become a vampire, and those vampires have long lifespans, living for thousands of years or even achieving eternal life." When she said eternal life, something clicked in Lin Xi’s heart, feeling that things related to eternal life were never simple.
Jian Shen and Tie Butou couldn’t believe what Lin Xi said; vampires were already strange enough, and now there was even talk of immortality.
To avoid unnecessary panic, Tie Butou ordered people to deal with Old Jia’s remains and instructed all the constables to keep silent about the matter.
With that, the matter here concluded. Jian Shen and Lin Xi planned to leave. Jian Shen still wished to search for Shennv Xuanhui and confront Qian Feng, his persistent attitude causing Lin Xi quite a headache.
However, Tie Butou was worried, "Jian Shen, for the sake of your beloved woman, you have already become an enemy of the Martial Arts world. If you return to the central plains, you’re likely to invite deadly trouble."
