But not long after, Shen Yunhao was called out of the cabin by Nie Qingshuang.
Looking at the obvious signs of destruction in the woods below, Nie Qingshuang frowned and asked, "Is this the place where you were chased by that Blood Demon Ape?"
To be precise, it was the place where Shen Yunhao faked his death.
Coming from the Demon Tower of the Dragon Blood Sect, the Blood Demon Ape rampaged through the area, fought with Bai Xiaoruo, and was eventually subdued by the Poison Shadow. The signs of destruction were obvious.
"It is indeed this place, but..."
Shen Yunhao frowned. After being captured by Guimu, he lost contact with Duying and had no idea what happened next.
Normally, the Blood Demon Ape would definitely be no match for Poison Shadow, but if it was killed, where did its huge corpse go?
The evil soul blood energy above the Blood Demon Ape is important evidence against the Dragon Blood Sect. Could it be that the people of the Dragon Blood Sect dealt with it themselves?
They couldn't possibly have taken it all with a giant storage artifact, could they?
"I don't know where the Blood Demon Ape's corpse went."
"snort!"
Nie Qingshuang snorted coldly, about to speak, but her expression suddenly hardened, and she frowned, saying, "Who is here? Show yourself at once!"
A blue light flashed in the air, and then the figure of a middle-aged man appeared.
"Beihai Zhuhong greets Palace Master Nie!"
It was the dragon elder that Zhu Li had invited to protect Shen Yunhao.
"Oh? Even the North Sea Dragon Clan has gotten involved?"
With the appearance of Zhu Hong, Nie Qingshuang's expression became increasingly solemn.
These guys from the Dragon Blood Sect not only attracted the attention of the Demon Emperor Palace of Lizhou, but even the North Sea Dragon Clan showed up. Who knows what kind of trouble they've caused.
However, Zhu Hong smiled faintly, "Palace Master Nie, you flatter me. I was merely at my little niece's request to come and protect the child on the boat!"
Shen Yunhao smiled awkwardly: "Greetings, Senior Zhu Hong!"
Nie Qingshuang was stunned for a long time, then gave a cold laugh.
"I didn't realize Li'er had made such thorough arrangements, even managing to get an elder from the North Sea Dragon Clan to come. Looking at it this way, it seems I was the one who was foolish. As Yao'er's master, I didn't even think to arrange for a deputy hall master to accompany and protect her, and instead, you got into trouble on your own turf..."
Shen Yunhao: "..."
Zhu Hong listened, somewhat stunned.
I had heard of Lord Nie's reputation before, but no one had told me that Nie Qingshuang's ability to speak in such a strange and sarcastic way was so "profound".
It's normal for a young woman to worry about her lover, so why is Nie Qingshuang so anxious?
Shen Yunhao broke out in a cold sweat and dared not continue on this topic. He immediately asked, "Senior, what just happened? Where are the Blood Demon Ape and the higher-ups of the Dragon Blood Sect?"
Zhu Hong shook his head and sighed, "After the Blood Demon Ape appeared, it went straight for you. Our idea, along with the others from the Demon Emperor Palace, was to stop the Blood Demon Ape and save you before discussing anything else. But those bastards from the Dragon Blood Sect insisted that you released the Blood Demon Ape and desperately tried to stop us. We couldn't get away for the time being and could only watch as the Blood Demon Ape headed towards you!"
Shen Yunhao had anticipated this and wasn't too surprised. He explained, "They committed such heinous acts out of fear of being held accountable by the Guanghan Palace. It's the perfect excuse to shift the blame onto the demon race..."
You talk like you're a demon too...
Nie Qingshuang snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Yunhao's consistent analysis from the perspective of the demon race, but she didn't say anything.
“We were stopped and forced to fight. It wasn’t until half an incense stick’s time before those Dragon Blood Sect members left after uttering harsh words. We were worried about your safety and that little girl’s, so we didn’t give chase and came to find you immediately…”
Zhu Hong looked at the ravaged forest beneath him. "Judging from the traces left by the giant ape, this should be where the conflict broke out. However, when we came here, there was no one around, and we couldn't sense any trace of the Blood Demon Ape. But the bear spirit from the Demon Emperor's Palace seemed to be able to sense the girl's location, so he went there. I continued to guard this place alone until I saw Palace Master Nie return."
Shen Yunhao guessed that Shu Wuxin must have left, as his identity made it inconvenient for him to appear before Guanghan Palace.
Since even Zhu Hong doesn't know where the demonic ape's corpse went, the only one who probably knows is Elder Poison Shadow. However, until now, Shen Yunhao has been unable to contact Elder Poison Shadow.
Upon hearing this, Nie Qingshuang coldly replied, "Hmph! They can run away, but they can't hide! In that case, I'll just go directly to the Dragon Blood Sect and demand an explanation! Do you think the Dragon Blood Sect can just relocate the entire sect?"
"Palace Master, please wait!"
Shen Yunhao quickly interrupted.
"Um?"
Nie Qingshuang glared at him, and Shen Yunhao immediately shrank back, choking on the rest of his sentence.
"Speak! What else is there?"
The woman in palace attire raised her head with satisfaction.
"That... the Dragon Blood Sect uses evil soul blood energy to destroy the minds of demon races in order to raise high-level demon races. This evil soul blood energy also has the ability to make demon races devour cultivation!"
Having been on the run ever since leaving the underground palace, Shen Yunhao hadn't had a chance to tell Zhu Hong and the others about it. Upon hearing the news, he couldn't help but frown.
"How dare the Dragon Blood Sect be so arrogant? They treat my demon race like livestock..."
Nie Qingshuang had already heard Shen Yunhao talk about this matter on the flying boat. If there was only one crime of refining Chongyuan Pill, the Dragon Blood Sect could only be verbally reprimanded, at most they would put forward one or two scapegoats, and then make some compensation to the demon race to settle the matter.
That's the reality. To put it bluntly, the Dragon Blood Sect is definitely not the only sect secretly refining Primordial Essence Pills; it's just a matter of how much and whether it's been exposed.
We can't just go and wipe out the entire family as soon as we discover the Moon Palace...
In Yunzhou, the status of the demon race is not yet high enough.
However... this evil spirit's blood energy is a big problem; it's clearly a wicked and depraved demon.
Now that the people of the Demon Emperor's Palace know about this, Nie Qingshuang has no choice but to take it very seriously.
"So the important thing is this evil soul blood energy... If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the people of the Dragon Blood Sect found a way to dispose of the demonic ape's corpse, because that kind of demonic ape was deeply affected by the evil soul blood energy, and it could be detected with a simple investigation."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Nie Qingshuang waved her hand. "Once I see those Dragon Blood Sect members, I'll naturally get to the bottom of this..."
"..."
Shen Yunhao wanted to curse. You don't even have any evidence. You just run over there empty-handed. Do you think they'll admit it? They might even play the victim and throw mud at the demon race and him, Shen Yunhao.
Nevertheless, Shen Yunhao patiently said, "Lord Palace Master, please listen to me. There is a bronze door beneath the Demon Tower, and the evil soul's blood energy is emanating from within that bronze door. Although the Dragon Blood Sect destroyed the Demon Tower, that bronze door might still be there. Let's go find some evidence first, lest those people say we're fabricating something out of thin air!"
