People live in this castle!
"Release the three people you captured!" Chen Zhou shouted. There was no point in wasting words with them now, so he might as well just state his purpose for coming.
"So you've come to rescue people! Well, let's see if you have the ability. They'll soon be dried-up corpses." The voice came again, and Chen Zhou felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing it.
The sound seemed to carry a chill. At first, Chen Zhou thought it was true energy, but upon closer inspection, there was no fluctuation of true energy, only rings of black energy emanating from the surrounding shadows.
Chen Zhou already had a way to deal with the shadowy figures, so he didn't take them seriously. If he wanted to, he could eliminate all the shadowy figures present right now.
"Hmph! Then I'll start with you!" Chen Zhou sneered, immediately circulating the true energy in his dantian. Soon, a powerful suction force emerged from his dantian, causing the surrounding shadows to lose their footing.
They all slowly moved towards Chen Zhou.
The suction force emanating from Chen Zhou's dantian was particularly strong. The dark figures could not withstand such a powerful attraction and were instantly unable to move, being pulled straight away by Chen Zhou.
Seeing that the people on the castle had no intention of coming down to deal with him, Chen Zhou simply took action and eliminated all the shadowy figures present.
Having already gained experience in absorbing the shadows, Chen Zhou immediately exerted all his strength to stir his dantian, making the attraction within his dantian even stronger. In this way, all the shadows were drawn into Chen Zhou's body.
One by one, dark figures disappeared beside Chen Zhou, slowly merging into his body.
In an instant, Chen Zhou's dantian was once again covered by the shadows, with only the faint green light emitted by the roots of the poisonous tree illuminating it.
The roots of the poisonous tree activated again, slowly absorbing the shadow.
"Hmph! So it was you who absorbed my puppet..."
At this moment, the person on the castle spoke up.
Chen Zhou did not rush forward immediately because his dantian was occupied by the black shadow, and he could not fully use his true qi.
Only by quietly waiting for the roots of the poisonous tree to absorb the shadow can one go up and find the person who spoke.
From the moment he heard that person's voice, Chen Zhou had been using his true energy to probe upwards towards the castle, hoping to determine the human's level. However, after several attempts, Chen Zhou was unable to detect the person's level at all, and didn't even know where he was located.
This made Chen Zhou a little flustered.
Generally, those who can evade Chen Zhou's true qi detection are either people with higher cultivation levels than Chen Zhou, or people with much higher cultivation levels than Chen Zhou.
Clearly, that person probably belongs to the latter category.
This is very likely a Golden Core Realm expert.
Chen Zhou guessed to himself.
"Why aren't you coming up? Are you scared?"
Just as Chen Zhou was still absorbing the shadowy figures, the voice from above the castle came again.
For some reason, Chen Zhou could clearly hear the voices of the people on the castle, but he couldn't pinpoint where those voices were coming from.
This was something Chen Zhou found utterly baffling.
Why don't you dare come down?
Chen Zhou didn't use his true energy to amplify his voice; he simply raised his voice slightly with his own throat.
Chen Zhou wasn't sure if the people on the castle could hear him. If they could, they were probably on the floor one or two levels above him; if they couldn't, they were at the very top.
Chen Zhou wanted to use this to determine the location of the person on the castle.
"Why wouldn't I dare to come down? It's just that I'm very busy right now... Ahahahaha... It's been so long since I've seen flesh and blood in the fusion stage... It's really something to look forward to..." The voice came again from the floor above Chen Zhou's head, and the voice became more and more perverse.
Upon hearing that voice, Chen Zhou was immediately certain that the person was on the floor above him!
Because of this sound, that person did not use their inner energy to amplify the sound!
Without the concealment of true energy, the location of the sound could no longer be hidden.
Since the sound couldn't be hidden, Chen Zhou could determine the person's location.
"I remember now!" At this moment, Elder Ren suddenly realized and said.
"What?"
Chen Zhou was waiting for the black shadow in his dantian to absorb the energy, and made no move. He could listen to Elder Ren's explanation at this moment.
"The style of this castle is that of a special race in the west, a race known as the devils," Elder Ren said slowly, his tone turning icy.
"What race?" Chen Zhou asked instinctively.
"The vampire race," Ren Lao said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.
This is the first time Chen Zhou has heard this name in this life. He first heard it a long time ago, in his previous life, when he first encountered the vampire race in a novel.
"There are vampires in this world too?" Chen Zhou asked curiously, as he knew a little about them.
"What do you mean? What do you mean there are vampires in this world?" Old Ren asked, puzzled, showing his incomprehension of Chen Zhou's question.
Could it be that this kid has lived in two worlds?
"No, no, no... I didn't mean that. I meant, what race is this? I've never heard of it before?" Chen Zhou quickly smoothed things over, realizing he had almost given himself away.
"This is a strange race. They are born unable to cultivate true qi, but they can cultivate by absorbing the blood qi of others. So their cultivation is entirely based on blood qi. While others use true qi to attack, their race uses blood qi. You heard what that person said earlier. It seems that person might really be a vampire!"
