Chapter 561 But her blood was still warm.
Luo Qing'an looked alarmed and exchanged a glance with the alchemist. The alchemist's expression was also not good. He swallowed hard for a long time before stammering, "Look...look at the shape of the wound, their...their half of their bodies were very likely...very likely eaten by something. As for why they are here..."
Dan Xiu paused, glanced at Jiang Liqian and Qing Mu, then turned his head and coughed, looking somewhat unnatural: "Judging from their condition, they must have come here, cough cough... to have an affair."
"What?" The last few words were spoken too softly, and Jiang Liqian didn't understand what he was saying at first, so she subconsciously asked again.
However, Xu You'an, who had heard clearly, quickly covered her ears, and Fu Wennian immediately grabbed her wrist to signal her not to ask any more questions. Jiang Junze even drew half of his sword and stood in front of Jiang Liqian, staring threateningly at the stammering alchemist from the City Lord's Mansion who was about to speak again.
Only Qing Mu and Jiang Liqian looked completely bewildered. They opened their mouths in a very normal and clear voice and asked in confusion, "Two men and one woman, how can they be having an affair?"
"..." Luo Qing'an, whose face was already as red as a boiled egg, quickly ran over, covered her mouth, and smiled awkwardly at the group of guards from the city lord's mansion, "I'm just a young girl, I don't understand these things, please forgive me."
Qingmu tried to pull her fingers, but couldn't budge them.
All I can do is look at her and say – what little girl? She's a grown woman now!
Luo Qing'an covered her mouth even harder.
After Qing Mu's startling question, Jiang Liqian realized what the alchemist was talking about. She glanced around awkwardly, coughed lightly, turned the page, pondered for a moment, and then voiced her discovery: "Don't you think the corpses here and the attack on Liu An Lou have something in common?"
Xu Youan followed her words, her eyes flickering: "Does Senior Sister mean it's related to the dark side of human nature? These demons like to attack places where the dark side of human nature can be displayed."
Luo Qing'an also realized: "It seems to be true. Willow Dark Tower is a place of dance and music. This place is secluded and is also a place where filth and evil are hidden. Demons love places like this."
"Greed, envy, laziness, arrogance, anger, cowardice, hypocrisy, selfishness, jealousy, delusion, lust, resentment, hatred..." Jiang Junze pondered, "These are the weaknesses of human nature, which are what people like."
“In that case, our search will have a target and scope,” Qing Mu said.
That's right.
Jiang Liqian looked down at the pitiful corpses lying on the ground, her heart heavy with sorrow and anger: "Now it seems that their bodies were probably eaten by the monsters that attacked them. These beasts have a penchant for the wicked and love to suck blood and eat people. I wonder if they live on human blood and flesh. If so... perhaps in their eyes, we are just delicious prey that they haven't yet obtained."
Putting aside the little episode about whether they were having an affair, their current situation, their location, and everything they faced were all eerie and terrifying. The cold morning light fell, offering no warmth whatsoever.
The chill of autumn is gradually intensifying.
"Is there a way to track down the demons that attacked them based on the residual demonic energy on their bodies?" Jiang Li closed her eyes briefly, waved her hand to cut down large swathes of grass, and scattered them to bury the three corpses.
Jiang Junze and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Jiang Liqian glanced at the guards of the city lord's mansion, but these guards were all terrified and had no mind to think about tracking the demons. Moreover, even if they wanted to, they didn't have the ability.
Xu You'an, who was standing beside Jiang Liqian, flickered his eyes. Seeing the cold killing intent in her eyes, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Senior Sister, perhaps we can use the Tracking Breath Formation. I can give it a try..."
“No!” Fu Wennian immediately rejected his suggestion. “The Tracking Array can only track spiritual energy and demonic energy, not demonic energy.”
"I can find a way to condense the demonic energy from these three corpses under an array, and then..."
"I said, you can't!" The usually gentle and refined Fu Wennian was a little annoyed, glaring at Xu Youan. "The core of the array is connected to the cultivator himself. If you put demonic energy on it, aren't you just letting demonic energy invade your body? Do you think I would let you do that?"
Others might not understand, but as the second disciple of the Tianqian Sect's Zhenfeng lineage, how could he not understand?
He believed that Jiang Junze and Qing Mu must also know some immortal techniques and methods for tracking auras. Why did no one say anything just now?
First, the cultivation techniques and immortal arts that everyone knows about are all related to spiritual energy and demonic energy, so it is impossible to determine whether they are effective against demonic energy. Second, if you grit your teeth and force yourself to use them, you will most likely "get burned."
It's not that they are "cowardly" or "afraid of death." They have already seen a bit of how powerful the demonic energy is. If they were to be corrupted by the demonic energy here because of such a trivial matter as "tracking the demonic energy," or even seriously injured, and still not get the result they wanted, how could it be worth it?
You should know that countless monsters may be hiding in this city. To waste your life is irrational and extremely irresponsible to the people in the city.
Xu Youan understood his second senior brother's meaning and knew his concerns, but he couldn't bear to see his senior sister unable to fulfill her wishes.
If he has any use left in his life, giving everything for his senior sister's ideals would be the greatest reward for him.
He didn't care how these three people died or how horribly they died. He lacked the lofty morals and qualities to care about these unrelated people. But his senior sister wanted to avenge these three poor souls and find the monster that attacked them as soon as possible to prevent further victims. Every minute of delay could mean another person dying a violent death.
His senior sister simply couldn't understand why, in this vast world of cultivation, the strong always viewed the weak as nothing more than ants. What did it matter if one or two ants died? Even the three major sects, who took the well-being of all people as their responsibility and stood at the pinnacle of the righteous path, valued the justice, good and evil, and the future of the entire world. For this goal, sacrificing a few people, or even themselves, was nothing more than an inevitable price to pay under the laws of Heaven.
I will feel grief, but I will accept it.
Having embarked on the bloodthirsty path of cultivation, the coldness and indifference inherent in their bones had already begun to seep into their souls little by little.
But my senior sister is an exception.
It's strange, she clearly witnessed brutal battles, cunning deceptions, and the path to immortality piled high with corpses, yet her blood was still hot and could never be cooled.
But is this a good thing for my senior sister?
She would only allow more sharp blades to pierce her flesh, being subjected to slow slicing again and again.
Drenched with blood.
