"Ah~ the spiritual energy of human flesh and blood is so pure, it's just a pity there's so little of it... Hey, the spiritual energy in your body seems even purer, do you want me to have a bite?"

A seductive and sweet voice suddenly rang out from the endless black mist, but the words spoken sent chills down one's spine.

The next second, the black mist dissipated, and an extremely shriveled body was thrown out from it. Who else could it be but Grandmaster Zhu Jingxian?

However, this grandmaster had clearly had his spiritual energy drained, and now he looked like a dried-up corpse, showing no trace of his grandmaster demeanor.

Seeing this, Wang Zheng immediately dodged, letting the withered body fall heavily to the ground.

However, as he flashed away, he didn't forget to throw a few more beams of mysterious light over.

It's no wonder Wang Zheng was cautious; after seeing Master Zhu's miserable state, he dared not be careless.

If the woman hadn't been slightly interrupted by the beam of Xuan Guang's light, the grandmaster would probably have died on the spot.

Even so, the grandmaster who was only bitten once had all his spiritual energy drained.

Even with these beams of spiritual light surrounding her, the wound on her neck did not heal; in fact, wisps of black mist began to emerge from it, showing no sign of recovery whatsoever.

Taking advantage of the surging black mist, Wang Zheng looked up and saw that the woman's face, which was enveloped in countless demonic energies, began to twist strangely.

First, a large patch of tiny, thumb-sized buds grew densely, then twisted and changed into various different shapes and forms.

The skin on its body began to adjust continuously as the flocculent red crystals collapsed, and eventually even the shapes of cats and dogs appeared.

If you look closely at this point, you'll see that behind her, all the unconscious people in the entire town are connected by a black line.

Those black lines were hidden in the black mist, and even Wang Zheng and Zhu Jingxian, who were just inches away, did not notice them.

It was only at this point that Young Master Wang finally realized what was happening.

Why is the effect of my own spiritual light so weak on these people? They are probably all dead long ago, and now they are nothing more than empty shells without four dimensions.

"Damn it, no wonder I felt something was off when I first came to this town. It seems these people have been manipulated all along, which is why I had that strange, uneasy feeling."

Another beam of spiritual light shone forth, only to be blocked by the surging black mist in the distance. Wang Zheng couldn't help but curse under his breath.

So it seems that the mastermind behind this case is not Ling Youjie, who was corrupted by the Heavenly Demon?

After all, he just wanted to save his teammates.

Moreover, the blood-red crystal had no memory of any Heavenly Demon, so Ling Youjie did not actually have a Heavenly Demon inside him. He only became that inhuman and ghostly appearance by absorbing the energy of the blood-red crystal.

Connecting all the previous clues, Wang Zheng also discovered something strange about it.

"call--"

Wang Zheng took a deep breath and then became extremely alert.

"In that case, the person in front of us must be the main person involved in this incident!"

Although Wang Zheng had seen this woman transform into Ling Youjie's face before, he did not believe that this woman was on the same level as Ling Youjie.

Based on the current assessment, Ling Youjie is only special because he had the most contact with this energy and was the first to be manipulated.

But this strange woman in front of him was different. A grandmaster had fallen silently in front of him, which was quite convincing.

Although the other party was suspected of launching a sneak attack, Master Zhu had already reacted.

Even though Master Zhu's defenses were extremely strong, he was still defeated instantly, which shows just how powerful the person in front of him was...

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also seemed to have only been a short moment.

The lump of flesh, which could no longer be called humanoid, blocked all of Wang Zheng's attacks under the all-round, all-around protection of the black mist. Then it transformed into a figure dressed in black, tall and slender, with a beautiful face.

As the woman in black with a graceful figure slowly emerged from the boundless mist, even though he knew the timing was inappropriate, a look of amazement still appeared on Wang Zheng's face.

It's as if all the most beautiful appearances in the world could be combined into one.

Wang Dashao only glanced at it, but felt an uncontrollable restlessness rush from his dantian to the top of his head, and his face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.

Every smile and frown of this woman seemed to be full of allure. Even just looking at Xuan Guang's furrowed brows, one couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Then, with a light wave of her jade-like arm, the layer of mystical light was enveloped by countless black mists. After the spiritual energy within was exhausted, the white light completely disappeared...

Seemingly sensing the beam of light's restraint on her, the woman turned around with a look of genuine joy, her expression seemingly undisguised, and said to Wang Zheng:

"Hey, is this your ability? It's quite interesting. Luckily I had nothing better to do and came over, otherwise I would have missed such a big surprise. So, how about it, are you interested in doing something for me?"

Her voice was as melodious and clear as a nightingale's, gentle and pleasant to the ear, yet with an indescribable touch of sexy charm that made it impossible not to refuse.

However, our young master Wang is exceptionally resolute, and when it comes to his own life and safety, he is not so easily subdued.

Faced with the other party's question, his mind quickly went into action.

'What do you mean? What do you mean "thankfully she came"? Does that mean she wasn't here before, and the events in Gushan Town have nothing to do with this guy?'

'But this girl is really beautiful, her figure is perfect, I don't think anyone I've ever seen can compare to her...'

'No! What am I thinking?'

Realizing his predicament was a bit off, Wang Zheng immediately slapped himself, followed by a ball of mysterious light smearing his face. He forced himself to stay alert and cautiously responded:

"I don't object to doing things for you, but you have to tell me what you need me to do, what the benefits are, and who you are, right? I'm a very practical person; I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me!"
