“Did any of you encounter anything similar to that bloodworm when this loose cultivator died?”
Lu Xuan asked solemnly.
“No, no.”
Several monks of the Song Family shook their heads continuously.
One of them seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and said.
“Senior Lu, when the loose cultivator was about to die, I saw a beam of blood light shooting out from his body. I thought it was his blood at the time, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
“Hmm.”
Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
“It seems to have fled far away.”
“Uncle Lu, what should we do now?”
Song Yu looked worried. Such a major event as a demon envoy invading Void Nether Island had occurred, making him as the island’EBs owner feel extremely anxious.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan, a foundation establishment realm cultivator born from a great sect, was present to calm the situation and reluctantly stabilize their emotions.
“The daily patrols must continue, but we need more manpower to prevent the demon envoy from taking advantage of the situation. Also, we need to maintain order on the island and prepare more exorcising talismans.”
“The evil insect just now is known as the Blood Coagulating Parasite. It is a common tool used by Evil Dao cultivators who practice the Blood Path Technique, so it’s very likely that there’s some evil cultivator involved.”
“Both of these loose cultivators were attacked and contaminated by the parasite when they returned from the sea, so the key is to check the cultivators who have returned to the island recently.”
Lu Xuan instructed the Song Family head.
“As for me, I will act accordingly and freely search for and handle the cultivators who have been attacked and contaminated by the Blood Coagulating Parasite on Void Nether Island.”
The Blood Coagulating Parasite almost replaces the blood circulation of the cultivators. If it is not stimulated at close range, or it comes out after sucking blood, it is difficult to detect its traces with ordinary means.
And Lu Xuan, with his different species of Cloud Leopard that could sense demonic qi, a third-grade pure jade that could resist the attacks of the demon envoy, a third-grade purifying spirit talisman and a fourth-grade Cloud Mountain Jade Slip that had a strong killing effect on the demon envoy, could be said to be equal in strength to all the cultivators of the Kongming Island’s Song Family.
After confirming the measures to deal with the Blood Coagulating Parasite with Song Yu, Lu Xuan’s figure shimmered and disappeared from everybody’s sight.
On the cobbled street.
The Cloud Leopard crouched on Lu Xuan’s shoulder, its paws curled up like clouds, and its green eyes scanned every loose cultivator that passed by. The tufts of gray-white hair on the tips of its ears swiveled with the movement.
“Roar…”
It buried its head, releasing a soft growl into Lu Xuan’s ear, the coarse voice filled with earnestness.
“Okay, I’ve seen it.”
Lu Xuan silently created a soundproof film around his ears using his spiritual power, his gaze locking onto a thin cultivator not far ahead.
His spiritual power surged within his body, gently seeping into his eyes as he activated the techniques in the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique,” a layer of hazy mist appearing on the surface of his pupils.
After he acquired the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique,” he practiced for a long time every day and barely reached the entry-level stage, understanding some simplistic uses of the Pupil Skill.
Under the effect of the hazy mist, Lu Xuan could see the world in front of him in a deeper and more real way.
The thin cultivator looked like a bundle of red and white lines in his eyes, the white was spiritual power, and the red was naturally the Blood Coagulating Parasite transformed into large and small blood vessel tentacles.
Seemingly aware that it was being observed, the light on the surface of the blood-colored parasite dimmed a bit, wriggling towards the interior of the thin cultivator’s body.
“This Blood Coagulating Parasite is truly weird. After infiltrating and contaminating the cultivator’s body, the cultivator can still act freely and remain clear-headed.”
“Perhaps it just replaces the original blood vessels and nerves in the cultivator’s body, and after draining all the blood, it emerges, leaving only a dried-up corpse.”
As Lu Xuan analyzed, he locked his spiritual sense onto the skinny cultivator, trailing far behind him.
The skinny cultivator greeted a few acquaintances on the road and returned to his own yard.
As soon as he entered the house, he took a piece of fresh monster meat out of his storage bag.
Looking at the monster meat in his hand, still retained a hint of blood, the cultivator’s throat issued a loud swallowing sound, then, he bit off a huge chunk of meat.
For some reason, he felt that his demand for such fresh meat was increasing, if he didn’t eat any for a few days, there was even a faint urge for blood-sucking.
“Fortunately, the meat of the demon beast contains some spiritual power. Consuming it can slightly increase cultivation levels, and after a while of cultivation, I can break through to the sixth level of Qj Cultivation.”
“Work a bit harder, become a high-grade Qj practitioner, and you don’t have to live this precarious life anymore.”
The skinny cultivator sighed softly, a glint of anticipation in his eyes.
He immediately sat down, operating the low-level cultivation technique that he had scavenged from the Loose Cultivator’s stall, striving to absorb the sparse spiritual energy.
Suddenly, a vast white light appeared directly in his sea of consciousness, his body suddenly contracted all over, and a strong sense of pulling came.
Lu Xuan, holding the Four Product Sun Sword Talisman, watched coldly as the Blood Coagulating Parasite drilled out of the skinny cultivator’s body.
The evil insect, under the current of sword Qi that was like a blazing sun, had its blood energy melt rapidly as if under a clear sky after snow.
A few breaths later, countless tiny blood-vessel-like tentacles had turned into a small pile of black ash, sprinkled over the body of the cultivator, which had already become an empty shell.
“Rest in peace.”
Lu Xuan looked at the dried-up corpse on the ground after confirming there were no evil spite qi in the surroundings, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Upon discovering the abnormality in the cultivator, Lu Xuan followed him to his home, then cast the Great Sun Sword Talisman after confirming there were no other contaminated cultivators in the surroundings, easily disposing of the evil insect hidden within the cultivator’s body in one fell swoop.
“Unfortunately, he had been infiltrated by the evil insects for too long and had almost become a walking corpse. There was no way to turn the situation around.”
He mused in silence.
“However, I didn’t expect this Great Sun Sword Talisman’s Sword Qi to have a naturally restraining effect on the Blood Coagulating Parasite.”
Lu Xuan looked at the talisman in his hand with a high-hanging, bright red sun, satisfied in his heart.
He let the Cloud Leopard circle the courtyard and confirmed there were no other evil spiteful Qj leftovers before swiftly moving to other places.
Roaming aimlessly in a spacious square, Lu Xuan was keenly observing his surroundings.
“Roar, roar…”
The Cloud Leopard was roaring ceaselessly, and a chill emanated from the immaculate jade around its neck. The chill was so intense that it almost froze his chest.
In the square, numerous cultivators were coming and going, the haggling of prices never ceased, portraying a tapestry of the lives of loose cultivators.
However, after Lu Xuan uses the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, over a dozen cultivators with blood-red glows were consciously or unconsciously closing in on his location.
These cultivators seemed to be under some kind of control, their eyes were full of faint blood streaks, and there was a degree of rigidity in their actions.
“Young man, be careful when you walk,”
Lu Xuan held onto a young man in his teens who had just passed in front of him, jumping around. The boy slid a little and almost fell.
In his slightly dazed eyes, the areas of the boy’s torso, abdomen, arms and legs had already been completely occupied by a blood-red color.
Inside him was hidden a King Worm that was more than ten times stronger than the regular Blood Coagulating Parasite!
