Chapter 1539 - 1386: My Brother Is a Villain 83
Nie Shuangshuang had experienced this feeling three times before: the first time was from the Blood Demon Venerable Master, the second was from that Zhu Zhen, and the third time was from these Blood Demons.
A terribly bad suspicion suddenly arose in Nie Shuangshuang’s heart, if the Blood Demon Venerable Master was also a Blood Demon, and Zhu Zhen was just a Human Cultivator who, after the Blood Demon Venerable Master summoned a demon, had a decline in cultivation and was forced to possess!
That could explain why Zhu Zhen had such a secret and deep hatred for me previously, I had disrupted his major plans.
Moreover, if Zhu Zhen was possessed by a Blood Demon, considering the Blood Demon’s abnormal life force, then he surely hadn’t died, and Zhu Zhen’s previous death was merely a ploy to shed the cicada’s shell.
It’s just that the Blood Demon Venerable Master had spent considerable time in the Cultivation World, surely he had already escaped from The Unreturning Peaks.
The Blood Demon Venerable Master must have always wanted to get the other Blood Demons out, but the seal of The Unreturning Peaks wasn’t easy to break, the other side probably only recently found the opportunity to break the seal and let the Blood Demons start escaping widely.
Even if the other side could have let Blood Demons escape previously, the number wouldn’t have been large, perhaps only a very small portion.
The characteristic of Blood Demons is that they can lurk inside human bodies, after lurking, over time, the Blood Demon can not only replace the person but also acquire the person’s memory and get the person’s cultivation.
The Blood Demon Venerable Master could have all the escaped Blood Demons infiltrate human bodies, replacing humans and lurking among them, and then when the time is ripe, easily turn the Cultivation World upside down.
As for the news of the Blood Demons escaping, owing to the special nature of The Unreturning Peaks, the Tribulation Crossing Cultivator stationed there has their guard rotated every hundred years.
If a Blood Demon of the same level as the Blood Demon Venerable Master possessed them, it could easily turn those Tribulation Crossing Cultivators into his own, having a possession every hundred years wouldn’t be troublesome.
Additionally, in order to block the news of the Blood Demons escaping, there would be high-cultivation Blood Demons outside intercepting the messages from the Six-winged Golden Howl clan while continuously delaying them with endless Blood Demons, giving the Blood Demons ample time to develop outside.
The seal beneath The Unreturning Peaks at the Ancient Battlefield can only guard against the Blood Demons, it won’t inhibit the cultivation of Blood Demons, with the long time from sealing to now, who knows how many Blood Demons have been brought forth, achieving this is definitely not impossible.
Nie Shuangshuang frowned, something still didn’t seem right, in her past life, there was clearly no calamity caused by the Blood Demons; although she died early, she had lived for a thousand years, why hadn’t she heard anything about the Blood Demons?
Or was it that the Blood Demons were preparing for something big, and in her past life, she died before they erupted, and an accident happened with the Six-winged Golden Howl clan?
At this thought, Nie Shuangshuang’s face changed once again, she suddenly remembered the event where the Blood Demon Venerable Master caught so many people at Luofeng Mountain.
At that time Nie Shuangshuang thought nothing of it, merely assuming that the other side was collecting resentful energy to build a domain conducive to evil cultivation and collecting cultivator blood to strengthen the blood sea.
Resentful energy could be absorbed and used for evil cultivation, but Nie Shuangshuang forgot that in fact, resentful energy was a major tonic for Blood Demons.
If she had guessed wrong, the Blood Demon Venerable Master was actually preparing to collect enough resentful energy to build an above-ground world suitable for Blood Demons to live in.
His capturing of people, alongside collecting cultivator blood and obtaining their souls, had the additional purpose of having the Blood Demons he brought out possess the cultivators and infiltrate human sects.
These things can’t be completed in a day or two, it required, at the very least, an effort spanning two or three thousand years, or even several thousand years, to accomplish these.
Particularly, the gathered resentful energy could turn the Cultivation World into a place suitable for Blood Demons to live.
No one can determine how many people the Blood Demon Venerable Master captured during that time, especially when the Sect Leader of the Illusion Sound Sect, Su Hua, was among them! Nie Shuangshuang could confirm that Su Hua must have been possessed by a Blood Demon.
Perhaps at that time when Su Hua was captured, it wasn’t entirely because the Blood Demon Venerable Master wanted to refine her into a ghost to be used, but also to have Su Hua completely assimilated by the Blood Demon inside her.
It’s causing a headache, and now...
Oh no! Nie Shuangshuang suddenly came to realize, if Blood Demons really set up a checkpoint outside to intercept the messages from the Six-winged Golden Howl clan, then their entry into The Unreturning Peaks has surely been discovered.
To prevent their information from being leaked, the Blood Demons certainly wouldn’t spare those of them who entered The Unreturning Peaks and discovered their secrets, instead, they would try to keep them in The Unreturning Peaks, or let the Blood Demons possess them and make them one of their own!
Nie Shuangshuang immediately informed Beichen Ran Gong Ziyun and the others of her discovery and analysis, and everyone’s expressions changed, their minds were momentarily thrown into chaos.
If according to Nie Shuangshuang’s analysis, then right now the Tribulation Crossing Cultivator guarding The Unreturning Peaks must already be Blood Demons’ people, if they went outside, they would certainly encounter interception by Blood Demons as well.
Momentarily, everyone was at a loss for what to do, these Blood Demons had long been plotting, there must be means to deal with the Tribulation Crossing Cultivators.
They were not afraid of dying, but they feared that their death would prevent the information from getting out, and their sect would unknowingly become a possession of the Blood Demons.
And the disciples still training in the Secret Realm outside, they were all the most outstanding disciples cultivated by the sect, the pillars of the sect’s future, if something were to happen, the loss would be absolutely catastrophic.
The more everyone thought about it, the more uneasy they became, everyone was getting anxious.
Still, Nie Shuangshuang was the first to calm down, gritting her teeth she said: "There is only one way now, all these Blood Demons fear the Six-winged Golden Howl clan, why don’t you go and assist the Six-winged Golden Howl clan in slaying the Blood Demons.
Previously, those Tribulation Crossing Cultivators got possessed because the Six-winged Golden Howl clan didn’t know, now the Six-winged Golden Howl clan has realized what’s wrong, with their protection, the Blood Demons won’t be able to possess you.
Meanwhile, I and Fan will break out, first sealing the Secret Realm, allowing those disciples to train inside it.
This Secret Realm is safer than the outside, and I will personally, together with Fan, go to the Four Great Immortal Sects to disclose the conspiracy of the Blood Demons, the Six-winged Golden Howl can see through the Blood Demons’ disguises.
By then, Fan can help investigate the Immortal Sect disciples to see if there are any possessed by the Blood Demons and handle them, those who aren’t possessed, come to The Unreturning Peaks and assist in slaying the Blood Demons."
The group exchanged glances, this was the only course of action, staying behind with the Six-winged Golden Howl clan to resist the Blood Demons would be hard but the safest for them.
Whereas Nie Shuangshuang’s break-out mission to cut off the Blood Demons was the most dangerous; everyone felt a sense of shame for a moment, it seemed as if they were afraid of death.
Yet, in truth, they didn’t possess combat power as strong as Nie Shuangshuang, for Nie Shuangshuang, it might be possible to break through and reach the Four Great Immortal Sects, but it was utterly impossible for them.
In fact, Nie Shuangshuang was also a bit apprehensive considering her Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation, so she planned to elevate her cultivation to Loose Immortal before going out.
