Chapter 876: The Jin Yuedao Family
Time had shifted to ancient times, and it was then that the Sword Deity, Lin Xi, along with the reluctantly involved Lu Bei, embarked on a new journey to combat the expansion of the Devil Cult and thwart the vampire conspiracy.
The Sword Deity had a close friend from the Golden Moon Blade family, who was not only highly skilled in martial arts and talented but was also strikingly handsome, and had become the head of the renowned martial arts family at a young age.
Lin Xi instantly understood the Sword Deity’s intention—if anyone could be trusted to believe a man who had become the public enemy of the martial world, it would only be a true friend.
The three of them arrived at the Golden Moon Blade family’s estate, and upon seeing the grand doors collapsed and still smelling the stench of blood, they immediately knew that something was terribly wrong.
The Sword Deity rushed in first, and was horrified at the sight of blood everywhere, with many from the Golden Moon Blade family lying scattered around, quite a few with beast-like bite marks on their necks.
"We’re too late," sighed Lin Xi. She walked a few steps, briefly examined the bodies, and noticed that most of those on the ground were of older age.
The Sword Deity noticed this too, and guessed at a possibility, that the Devil Cult had captured people from the Golden Moon Blade family and were experimenting on them, trying to turn them into vampires.
Lu Bei was skeptical, "Has the Devil Cult gone mad? By turning the people of the Golden Moon Blade family into vampires, aren’t they afraid that once they become powerful, they will seek revenge?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "Once they become vampires, they won’t be able to resist the urge to drink human blood, and they will harm innocent people. Even if they remain in opposition to the Devil Cult, they would no longer be part of the orthodoxy of Martial Arts, which means..." Lin Xi didn’t finish, because she was afraid of something, but the Sword Deity continued for her, "It means that if the Devil Cult succeeds, the individuals of the magic path will increase, and the number of orthodox sects will decrease. With this give-and-take, the martial world will eventually be dominated by individuals of the magic path."
