Just as Master Yuanyin was wondering what words of comfort to say, a commotion broke out outside. Someone had tried to escape but was caught and brought back. Others had tried to leave using extreme methods but failed.

There's no other reason than that these officials are not ordinary people, and not all of them are powerful practitioners of magic. Moreover, Shang Lin is secretly helping them.

He certainly didn't want these murderers to get away scot-free. Since this is a society governed by the rule of law, they must be punished by law, or at the very least, they should be made to pay a heavy price...

Ideally, they should be struggling to make ends meet all day, with no time to think about anything else, and certainly no money to support their reckless behavior.

Even so, the Divine Medicine Sect, now utterly destroyed, will never regain its former glory.

Although Liu Nian said, "As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn," the Divine Medicine Sect, after this battle, has no chance of recovering to its former state...

Haha, I'm afraid it will take decades, or even hundreds of years, to achieve that!

Oh, there's one more thing.

Lin Yu might not keep the promises he made to me before!

However, before the blood moon sets, Shang Lin still doesn't intend to show himself, nor does he dare to, because he genuinely doesn't know what kind of strange appearance he currently possesses.

We mustn't scare the people of the Divine Medicine Sect, or rather, scare Lin Yu. We also mustn't let the authorities find out, because if they arrest him, it will be a huge problem.

To avoid trouble, Shang Lin could only leave quietly, not even daring to use a teleportation talisman. The reason was simple: he was worried about being discovered. Officials who could come with Master Yuanyin were certainly not ordinary people.

If he lingered any longer, they might find out, so he'd better hurry up and slip away. Besides, he had class tomorrow, but with the blood moon still high in the night sky, Shang Lin was indeed walking rather slowly.

In order to minimize the impact of the Blood Moon on himself, Shang Lin began to wonder what kind of mixed blood he was. He tried to find a definite answer from the few words Old Man Chai spoke and from some legends about demon cultivators in the human world.

Of course, this was mainly because Old Man Chai knew very little, basically nothing at all. As for the demon cultivators with scales in the legends of the human world, Shang Lin could only think of a few types—fish, snakes, dragons, and unicorns.

At the time, Shang Lin thought that fish and snakes were more likely possibilities, while jiao, dragon and qilin were unlikely. Not to mention whether they were legendary species, even if they existed, they had existed for a very long time.

But none of those methods seem to apply to me. If it's fish and snake, then why don't I feel any bloodline suppression in front of She Jinxing or even Xiaobai?

Okay, let's leave She Jinxing aside. No matter what, he ended up as my servant by some twist of fate. As for Xiaobai, even if it's a cub, it's still a dragon, and it will suppress my bloodline as a half-demon.

If it's a Jiao, a Long, or a Qilin, will it still be affected by the Blood Moon? Or is it that I don't know much about the demon cultivators in the human realm, and therefore I've overlooked something?

Shang Lin suddenly remembered the incomplete exorcism diagram that Master Yuanyin had posted in the group. Every time he looked at it, he felt dizzy. Situ Pojun also said that his body was a bit strange and that he was neither half-human nor half-demon, but neither human nor demon.

Shang Lin suddenly stopped and looked up at the blood moon in the night sky. Could it be that the original Shang Lin was...?

A hybrid of human and demon?!

For a moment, Shang Lin seemed to be frozen in place, and this freezing was not only physical, but also mental and even breathing.

It took Shang Lin a while to come to his senses. He gasped for breath. His mother was actually a demon?! But where did that incomparably beautiful woman come from?

In her previous life, Shang Lin had seen far too many monsters, most of which were so ugly they were unbearable to look at. Even high-ranking monsters that were exceptionally handsome carried an undeniable air of evil.

However, Shang Lin's mother was completely different. Although Shang Lin had never seen her in reality, he had seen her clearly in his dreams and in the lotus mirror, and he believed that she was the real her.

The woman was like a goddess, with an unparalleled beauty, a slender figure, skin as smooth as jade, and black hair like a waterfall. She wore a long robe that fluttered in the wind, embroidered with star patterns, and her whole being seemed to glow with beauty...

Even wielding a long sword, covered in blood, defying the heavens, only amplified her ethereal grace and her resolute resolve in the face of death. What kind of demon is such a woman?

Shang Lin felt a headache coming on and stopped thinking about what the original Shang Lin was. He continued walking, needing to find an absolutely safe place to activate the teleportation talisman, otherwise he would have to skip class tomorrow.

When Shang Lin finally got home after several transfers, it was already 3:30 a.m. He didn't care about anything else and went straight to sleep. He was woken up by his alarm clock at 5:30 a.m.

Shang Lin yawned as he went to the bathroom to wash up. When he went to the kitchen and didn't see She Jinxing, he belatedly realized that he had sealed everyone inside the Dragon Spirit Tower.

Shang Lin hurriedly lifted the lockdown and prepared to go out for breakfast.

As soon as the Dragon Spirit Tower was unsealed, Hu Tangdi rushed out first. Although she was in worse condition than Shang Lin, she grabbed Shang Lin and looked him over carefully from head to toe.

Even so, he asked with great concern, "Sect Master, are you alright? Are you alright?"

Shang Lin looked at Hu Tangdi with confusion, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Look at you, you look like you failed your tribulation. You were in the Dragon Spirit Tower, and you were so badly affected by the Blood Moon? What about the other disciples?"

Upon hearing the sect leader's words, Hu Tangdi realized that he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "How could I be affected by the blood moon? I was worried about the sect leader and tried to get out of the tower to see you. The blood moon has no effect on me or Xing Tian. Others are affected to some extent, but it's nothing. They just behave a little abnormally, which can be ignored."

Shang Lin was taken aback. "You've gotten yourself into this state, are you going to come out of the tower to see me?!"

Hu Tangdi nodded, "Yes, we are all very worried about the sect leader's situation, but they are all a bit abnormal and too busy to take care of themselves."

Shang Lin sighed helplessly, "Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, why do you need to worry so much? Besides, the Dragon Spirit Tower is sealed by both me and the Divine Lord, even the tower spirit himself can't get out, why are you doing this to yourself!"

The next second, She Jinxing also came out of the tower. He was in a slightly better condition than Hu Tangdi, but he looked rather listless. However, just like Hu Tangdi, he looked Shang Lin up and down carefully as soon as he came out of the tower...
