Chapter 144: Dragon Labyrinth Formation pt. 2
When several people thought of the previous tragedies, they looked grave.
Jing Yue, “But based on past behaviors, she could only transform up to two people at one time, one is her original body, while the other is controlled by her blood essence. Even if she has a trump card, the number of people she can control would not exceed three.”
Lin Huaifeng, “So although you killed her original body, her blood essence is still attached to Cheng-daoyou?”
Jing Yue, “In front of the Dragon Gate that day, Yanzhi and I kept our eyes on her, but until she tried to jump into the dragon gate, we didn't notice any signs that she had forced out the blood essence. I think she has most probably left the blood essence in someone's body before we came along. That person may be a cultivator who also entered the Dragon Tomb, or perhaps they didn’t come in at all.”
They had no way to determine this, so they could only pretend to be oblivious, killing the main body of the demonic cultivator first before observing the rest after entering the Dragon Tomb.
Cheng Yun, “But if she has been possessing me, why can't I detect it? I remember everything since I entered the Dragon Tomb until I passed out just now.”
“I think her blood essence can lurk in the human body. As long as she doesn't activate it, the host won’t be able to detect it,” Jing Yue speculated. Otherwise, it was impossible for Kong Miao not to be aware that the successor of Ashura Tower had pretended to be an eminent monk of the Three Realm Temple for a hundred years.
Cheng Yun agreed. “Very likely.”
Jing Yue, “When we first found you, Yanzhi and I realized something was wrong.”
