Chapter 226: The Manifestation of One's Path (1)
Zhou Xuchuan was left completely speechless, and he looked as if a hammer had struck the back of his head. This sight was so surreal that he couldn't quite figure out what to say.
"Sect… Master?"
"If you believe the Sword Immortal's identity rests with his flesh, then you're right. After all, this body used to belong to Mount Hua's Sect Master."
The Blood Demon laughed while pounding his chest. Unfortunately, the skin on his jaw had all been ripped off, making it hard to decipher his expression. "However, the spirit and qi do not belong to the Sword Immortal but to me, the Blood Demon! So you'd be wise not to project someone else's identity onto me."
"…!"
Zhou Xuchuan clamped his mouth shut. His irises, which had been swimming precariously like a pair of fish, rapidly regained their stability.
The Sect Master has… passed on. Panic and confusion tried to flood his thoughts, but Zhou Xuchuan steeled his mind to stop himself from getting washed away by them. His nails dug into his palms as he clenched his fists. His teeth sank into his lips, eliciting blood.
Many questions appeared in his mind. Is Sect Master really dead? Or has the Blood Demonsimply stolen his body temporarily? Also, what's the true nature of that coffin?
Questions after questions invaded his mind, but now wasn't the time to entertain them.
