Corpse demons are a race of low bloodline among demons. They reek of decay and are the least respected among demons.
Corpse demons are of low intelligence and enjoy gnawing on and devouring corpses.
The one who commands the Corpse Demons is the Corpse Demon King. The Corpse Demon King is not very strong, but because of some of his innate abilities, he can be considered one of the more troublesome demons.
There's the aura of the Corpse Demon King here; it seems he set up the Corpse Sacrifice.
"The Corpse Sacrifice Technique is a forbidden technique of the Demon Clan, which can only be set up by members of the Demon Clan. The one who set up the Corpse Sacrifice Technique here should be the Corpse Demon King."
"The so-called corpse sacrifice technique can transform human flesh and blood into blood energy, which will then enter the flesh ball."
"Dismembering these villagers' corpses was probably to allow the flesh ball to absorb their blood and energy more quickly."
"As the fleshy ball gets smaller, it will eventually condense into something the size of an eyeball, and then automatically fly into the Corpse Demon King's body to strengthen his own power."
"Such forbidden techniques are strictly prohibited in the Demon Realm. It is likely that when the Corpse Demon King defected to the Demon Realm, he stole the Corpse Sacrifice Technique."
"The Corpse Demon King? It seems that the Corpse Demon King is behind the Twilight Thunder Sect. In order to help the Corpse Demon King increase his strength, the Twilight Thunder Sect did not hesitate to risk being discovered and kill people in the village."
"What benefits did the Corpse Demon King give to the Sect Master of the Twilight Thunder Sect that would make him so devoted to helping him?" Ruan Xiyan asked, puzzled.
"Ah Yu, is it possible to break this corpse sacrifice without alerting the enemy?"
The most urgent task is to destroy the Corpse Sacrifice, otherwise the stronger the Corpse Demon King becomes, the more difficult it will be to deal with him.
“Okay.” As Jun Yu finished speaking, demonic energy appeared in his hand, covering the fleshy ball on the roof and severing its connection with the Corpse Demon King. Then, he clenched his fist, and the fleshy ball exploded right in front of him.
"Ayan, it's done." Jun Yu looked at Ruan Xiyan, his tone carrying a hint of seeking praise.
Ruan Xiyan grasped Jun Yu's hand, "Let's leave here first."
The entire basement smelled really bad.
Jiang Lin, barely able to stand at the entrance of the alley, heard Ruan Xiyan's words and quickly ran outside, taking three steps at a time.
Once he left the basement and breathed in the fresh air outside, Jiang Lin couldn't hold it in any longer and ran to a corner to vomit.
He felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when he recalled what he had seen in the basement.
Seeing Jiang Lin bent over vomiting, almost bringing up bile, with tears welling up in his eyes from nausea, his face was deathly pale.
Luo Wanyin walked over and handed him a pot of water. "Rinse your mouth."
As scions of a prominent family, pampered and privileged, they had never witnessed such a scene before. Seeing such a bloody sight for the first time, they were bound to find it hard to accept.
"Thank you, Elder Luo." Jiang Lin took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and then spat it out.
Are you feeling better?
Jiang Lin nodded, wiped his mouth, and looked at Luo Wanyin, "Elder Luo, why are you completely unharmed? Aren't you afraid?"
Luo Wanyin did not answer. She was just a teenage girl, and it was the first time she had seen such a cruel scene. It was impossible for her not to be afraid at all. Her composure on the surface was just a facade.
However, she had experienced a lot in the past and had seen the filth in people's hearts, so her mental resilience was stronger. Moreover, she trusted Xiyan and knew that with Xiyan around, nothing would happen.
“Ayan, once the Corpse Sacrifice is activated, it can condense six fleshy balls. The forbidden technique of Corpse Sacrifice is not easy to set up, and it is not easy to set up a Corpse Sacrifice once.”
“Since the Corpse Demon King chose to lay down the Corpse Sacrifice Trap, he certainly wouldn’t waste the other five flesh orbs. Now we only see one flesh orb, so I guess there are traces of the Corpse Sacrifice Trap in the nearby villages as well,” Jun Yu said.
"We'll split up to investigate. Once we find anything, we'll send a signal immediately. Remember! Your safety is the most important thing." Ruan Xiyan looked at Luo Wanyin and Jiang Lin.
"yes."
They spent about half a day exploring the nearby villages, and as expected, the villagers in those five villages had been brutally murdered.
In some villages, the villagers' corpses had long since turned into piles of bones, and the fleshy spheres that absorbed blood and qi had also vanished without a trace.
Of the five villages, only one remaining fleshy mass was found; the others had long since been refined and returned to the Corpse Demon King's body.
Strangely, among the remains from all six villages, including the first one, not a single child's remains were found.
Could they have been taken away by the Twilight Thunder Sect? Why would the Twilight Thunder Sect capture so many children? Or is the Twilight Thunder Sect plotting something?
The answers to these questions can only be found at the Twilight Thunder Sect.
Ruan Xiyan and her companions continued on their journey, traveling another thousand miles before finally spotting a small town inhabited by people.
They had dinner in the town and planned to stay there for the night.
Jiang Lin finished eating and ran out, but returned a short while later.
"Sect Master, I just went out and secretly inquired around. Nobody in the town knows about the destruction of those villages. Some people haven't even heard of those remote villages."
"That's normal. For a top-tier power like the Twilight Thunder Sect, covering up a few remote villages is a piece of cake."
"Moreover, this is still within the territory of the Twilight Thunder Sect. Let alone remote villages, even some towns, the Twilight Thunder Sect can definitely do it if they want to."
“If we hadn’t discovered them by chance, given how remote those villages were, they might not have been discovered for several more years,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
"Insidious! Absolutely insidious!" Jiang Lin said indignantly. "How could anyone do such a thing? The Twilight Thunder Sect is utterly depraved."
"Especially the sect leader of the Twilight Thunder Sect, Lin Zhou, is said by outsiders to be the kindest and most gentle person, a true gentleman, who often helps the people and is a great man."
"It seems we've all been deceived by Lin Zhou. How can a ruthless killer pretend to be a benevolent person? He's such a good actor. Once we get to the Twilight Thunder Sect, we'll have to expose his true colors."
Seeing Jiang Lin's youthful spirit, his righteous demeanor, and his desire to stand up for the wronged, Ruan Xiyan smiled.
"Human hearts are treacherous, and they are also the easiest to deceive. You were just too well protected before. You'll understand once you've experienced more."
“However, once you arrive at the Twilight Thunder Sect, you must not act without my orders, or you will be punished according to the sect rules,” Ruan Xiyan warned.
"Understood, Sect Master." Jiang Lin slumped onto the table dejectedly. He was really annoyed that he couldn't teach that hypocrite Lin Zhou a lesson!
After resting for a night in the town, they set off as dawn broke.
