The shout was sudden and loud, instantly waking up everyone who was still in shock.
The crowd was like a flock of sheep disturbed by a wolf, screaming in panic and scattering in all directions. The children of noble families and the wandering cultivators in the mountains who came to participate in the election drew their swords.
But when they saw clearly what was wrapped in the black fog, they all gasped and stepped back subconsciously.
In the black fog that was split by the sword energy, a blood-red object suddenly revealed its true form.
At first glance, the thing looked like a human, with neat facial features and complete limbs, but its hands and feet were much thinner and longer than those of a normal person, and its body and facial features were too flat, as if it had been crushed under a millstone.
The skin all over his body was also blood red. At first glance, it looked like a person had been skinned and blood was still dripping out, which made people's scalp tingle.
At this moment, the bloody thing was split open by Shen Qiqi's sword, and the black fog that was used to hide it was completely exposed. It looked particularly violent, opened its mouth wide and roared at the crowd... or to be more precise, it was a hoarse roar.
Because no sound was made.
But that's what makes it even more terrifying.
The children of aristocratic families and wandering cultivators in the mountains felt goosebumps all over their bodies when they saw the thing's mouth that was grinning all the way to its ears, and they subconsciously retreated again.
Xie Beiming didn't retreat, but he didn't step forward to help either. He tightened his grip on the scabbard little by little, staring at the thing, and uttered a few words in a deep voice: "Blood Puppet."
The blood puppet is a kind of yin creature. It doesn't have much ability, but it is difficult to deal with. It is good at hiding its breath and lying on the living to absorb their essence and blood.
The essence and blood of living people are their food.
This kind of thing is like a blood-sucking leech. Once a living person is entangled by it, it is difficult to escape unscathed. If you are not careful, you will lose half of your body's cultivation.
Among the many demons and evil spirits, the Blood Puppet is the most hated existence by everyone in the world of cultivation.
This is also the reason why the children of aristocratic families and the wandering cultivators in the mountains dare not step forward - they are all afraid of being entangled by this thing.
What Shen Qiqi wanted was to scare them so much that they dared not come forward.
Throwing the sword to Xie Beiming, she walked straight forward and grabbed the thing's head with her bare hands.
The next moment, the sound of bones being broken suddenly rang out, and Shen Qiqi quickly and neatly flipped the thing's head off.
Blood splattered, everyone screamed, and subconsciously closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they saw a bloody pool on the ground, disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When a person dies, his bones remain; when a ghost dies, his body turns to ashes.
Not until the ground was empty did everyone come back to their senses from the shock and start talking about it.
"What the hell was that just now? It didn't even have any skin. It looked so disgusting!"
"That's a blood puppet, specializing in eating the yin of living people."
"Ah? Tsk tsk, this is Yunjian Town, and not far behind is the Wuji Sect. How dare this bastard rush over here without a second thought? It's courting death!"
"Why are you dying? He's already dead! The key point is Dongbeixi's location. Look, Miss Shen was standing there just now!"
"That's true! And that ghost thing is standing behind Miss Shen. It looks like it wants to attack Miss Shen from behind. If Miss Shen Er hadn't pushed Miss Shen away, that ghost thing would have succeeded!"
“Doesn’t that mean we just misunderstood Miss Shen Er?”
"It must be a misunderstanding. I've always said that appearance reflects the heart. How could someone as beautiful as Miss Shen Er, who is like a fairy from heaven, be such a vicious person? Rumors cannot be believed!"
“That’s right, the rumors also say that Miss Shen Er has very poor talent and is still only at the initial stage of spiritual cultivation. But the sword strike by Miss Shen Er just now was at least the strength of a second-level spiritualist!”
The person who said this was a young man with outstanding temperament and decent clothes. There were several people who looked like guards gathered around him. It was obvious that he was from a wealthy family.
Everyone believed his words without a doubt, and as that "blind fool" was reduced to nothing by Shen Qiqi's sword, the voices that had previously condemned her disappeared, replaced by various voices of praise.
Shen Ning'er had just come back to her senses from the shock. When she heard these voices, she was stunned. She never expected that because of a blood puppet, the wind direction suddenly took a big turn, which was completely contrary to what she hoped!
Although no one doubted her intentions, the voices praising Shen Qiqi were like sharp knives, stabbing her fiercely.
Before Shen Ning'er could recover from the severe pain, Shen Qiqi came over again, raised her knife and stabbed her again without any hesitation.
“Sister, are you okay?” She supported Shen Ning’er with a look of concern on her face.
At the same time, another cold voice was echoing in Shen Ning'er's ears.
"How about Shen Ning'er, the evil ghost I conjured up is pretty realistic, right?"
Shen Ninger: “…!”
Shen Ning'er's eyes widened, staring at Shen Qiqi in disbelief.
The latter gave her a sarcastic sneer.
It was just a sound transmission technique, but she spoke as if only she, Shen Ning'er, knew how to use it, and she, Shen Qiqi, couldn't use it.
As for using talismans to conjure up non-existent things, it was a piece of cake for Shen Qiqi, the former evil leader.
Anyway, that thing has been destroyed by her now, and there is no evidence, so no one can find out any clues.
Across from her, Shen Ning'er realized that she was being plotted against and used. The expression on her face gradually cracked. Her originally beautiful facial features gradually became distorted and hideous under Shen Qiqi's provocative gaze.
Seeing that everyone began to look at her with suspicious eyes, Shen Ning'er finally woke up.
