Wearing the Heavenly Heart, Chen Jing watched indifferently, his heart unmoved. This scene was something he had already anticipated.

Mei Moke smiled and spoke first: "I feel much better. Have you found the way?"

“Found it, but…” He Lili started to say, but didn’t finish.

"Has something happened to you?" Zhang Taoying asked, pointing tremblingly at the corner of Mei Moke's mouth.

"What is it?" Mei Moke's eyes showed confusion, and then he got up from the ground and subconsciously wiped his mouth.

"Oh, I just... I just tripped and fell..."

Even with the Heavenly Heart, the influence of the Heavenly Heart on his heart, which made Chen Jing, whose heart was as still as a deep well and extremely indifferent, feel a chill run down his spine.

Mei Moke murmured, "There's no blood left to eat here; it's all dried up..."

"Hehe, when I take you back to my house, I'll definitely have my wife cook you something delicious... Ah, this blood reminds me of the fine wine of Anchao. My wife is also from Anchao; her name is Zhou Yirou..."

Chen Jing stared at him silently, and for some reason, despite the extremely eerie and terrifying scene, Chen Jing, wearing the Heavenly Heart, coldly sensed that Mei Moke posed no threat.

At least He Lili didn't tell them that Mei Moke had malicious intentions.

"Didn't I just tell him that he no longer has a home..." Zhang Taoying whispered to Chen Jing and the others.

Mei Moke looked at Chen Jing and the others, and said in a suppressed, pleading voice, "Take me out of here, kind people, take me to a place with lots of people."

He Lili asked hesitantly, "Are you really still normal now...?"

Mei Moke replied, "I have never felt any better, except that I am a little thirsty."

"Just lead the way quickly!" Mei Moke said irritably as he rummaged through the corpses of several maggot-infested people with the thin tube on his back.

Li Ai asked, "Do you think we look like delicious food?"

“You?” Mei Moke was taken aback for a moment, then replied, “You helped me, you are good people, you are citizens of the Song Dynasty, I shouldn’t eat you.”

"Damn it, they're already distinguishing between people who can eat and people who can't..." Chen Jing cursed inwardly.

His hand rested on the hilt of the sword.

Li Si also placed his hand on the bone hammer.

However, no one was the first to rush forward and actually attack Mei Moke.

Seeing that Mei Moke had started eating the maggots again, Chen Jing and the others quietly retreated to the previous corridor.

Zhang Taoying said, "No matter how good a person Mei Moke was before, after his death, he should not be allowed to wreak havoc on the world."

“Let’s give him a way to disappear that is worthy of his status.”

Chen Jing didn't speak; in his view, it was too late to take action now.

Yes, they might be able to defeat a Qi Realm cultivator who is not in full form, but what will be the cost?

They're definitely going to die, so who's willing to die, who's willing to sacrifice themselves?

I'll give you the Heavenly Heart, and you go and charge in?

The others were still debating whether or not to take action against him, without considering the consequences of doing so.

Finally, Dao Nan waved his hand: "Alright, let's go. Don't worry about him. Let him fend for himself. You don't seem to want to do anything."

After some hesitation, no one made the first move.

They walked back along the road, and when they reached the exit, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Outside the exit, five monsters lay sprawled. The monsters were the size of children, with hunched backs covered in dense, spiky hair, and two unusually long hands that resembled crab claws, almost touching the ground.
