Chapter 15838 Confirmed
"How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!" Qin Luo stared at the Demon Blade Sect disciple in disbelief. He even began to wonder if he had misjudged the situation. Otherwise, why could the Demon Blade Sect disciple still speak? A person who had truly become a corpse and been refined using corpse-refining techniques would absolutely be unable to speak. But the Demon Blade Sect disciple could speak. Could it be that he had misjudged the situation, and that the disciple hadn't actually been injured?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Qin Luo still had complete faith in his own eyes, but what was going on with that Demon Blade Sect disciple? Thinking of this, he immediately left his room and the inn, chasing after the Demon Blade Sect disciple.

What Qin Luo didn't notice was that as he chased after the disciple of the Demon Blade Sect, all the inn's staff and guests glanced at him, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes.

Qin Luo followed the Demon Blade Sect disciple from a distance, watching him return to his room. The Demon Blade Sect disciple lived in an ordinary area of ​​the city, with a small courtyard of his own. Qin Luo noticed that the courtyard seemed to be inhabited only by the Demon Blade Sect disciple, with no one else present.

Seeing this, Qin Luo felt relieved. After memorizing the courtyard, he returned to the inn and waited until midnight. Then, he opened his room window, jumped out, and flew less than a foot into the air, slowly heading towards the residence of the Demon Blade Sect disciple.

Qin Luo quickly arrived outside the courtyard of the Demon Blade Sect disciple. He listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the courtyard, but there was no sound at all. Qin Luo then looked around the courtyard and found that there was no defensive formation. It was clear that the Demon Blade Sect had been peaceful for so many years that they no longer used defensive formations in the market.

Qin Luo then landed in the disciple's courtyard and slowly floated to the door. He listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the room and could clearly hear snoring.

Qin Luo let out a long breath, then reached out and touched the door. He felt a bolt inside the door, and used his spiritual energy to control the bolt, slowly opening it without making a sound.

Qin Luo didn't doubt that the disciple's house didn't have a defensive array. In fact, it wasn't just that disciple from the Demon Blade Sect; even he himself didn't have any defensive arrays in his house at the Gate of Hell. You have to know that a defensive array costs a lot of spirit stones, and he didn't have any spirit stones to buy one. This is the real life of a low-level disciple.

After Qin Luo unlatched the door, he carefully pushed open the door and entered the room. As soon as he entered, he saw a small living room with an eight-immortal table and four benches, but nothing else.

There was a door on each side of the living room. The snoring was coming from the door on the left. Qin Luo slowly flew towards the room on the left. When he arrived, he took out an incense stick, lit it, and then used a gentle breeze spell to send the smoke from the incense directly into the room. Soon, the snoring in the room became even louder.

Qin Luo extinguished the incense, then opened the door to the room and went inside. There was a wooden bed in the room, and a person was lying on the bed, fast asleep. This person was none other than the disciple of the Demon Blade Sect that Qin Luo had seen during the day.

Qin Luo walked over to the disciple of the Demon Blade Sect, then picked up the disciple's arm and examined it closely. He saw a wound on the disciple's arm, but it was closed up, not fully healed; it was just closed up as if something had been used to hold it together. Qin Luo looked closely and confirmed that the wound was indeed held together, and there was absolutely no blood. Qin Luo then paid attention to the disciple and noticed that he had a heartbeat and was breathing (otherwise, he wouldn't be snoring). However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the disciple was completely lifeless, without any vitality whatsoever, and his skin was ice-cold to the touch, lacking any normal human temperature.

Qin Luo's expression completely changed. He carefully examined the disciple from the Demon Blade Sect, then left the disciple's room and courtyard. His face remained one of disbelief; he frowned, pondering the matter, convinced there was something strange about it. As he flew towards the inn, a sound suddenly rang out. Qin Luo's expression shifted, and he immediately concealed himself in the shadows. Because of the darkness, he almost blended into the shadows.

Soon, a group of Demon Blade Sect disciples walked past him on the street. It seemed that those Demon Blade Sect disciples were on patrol. Qin Luo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to return to his inn when suddenly his eyes lit up. He glanced at the Demon Blade Sect disciples and then murmured, "If everyone in the Demon Blade Sect has become like that, does that mean that some changes have occurred here that I don't know about? And these changes might not necessarily be a bad thing for us."

Thinking of this, Qin Luo immediately returned to the inn and his room. He rested for the night and got up early the next morning. He sat in his room, staring intently at the Demon Blade Hall. The Demon Blade Hall was always being observed by the disciples of the Demon Blade Sect. Soon, all the Demon Blade Sect disciples arrived for work. Qin Luo stared intently at the disciples and saw the disciple from the previous night. That disciple came to work normally, without anything amiss. Qin Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then continued to watch the Demon Blade Hall until almost evening, when everyone in the Demon Blade Hall had left for the night. Only then did Qin Luo leave his room. This time, he changed his target and followed another disciple of the Demon Blade Sect. After finding out where the disciple lived, he observed him carefully for a while and discovered that the Demon Blade Sect disciple shared a room with others. His courtyard was relatively large, with three people living there, all of whom were disciples of the Demon Blade Sect. Qin Luo didn't care. After finding out where the Demon Blade Sect disciple lived, he left directly. That evening, he came to the courtyard again. This time, he lit an incense stick and used a Gentle Breeze Technique to blow the smoke into the courtyard. He waited until the incense burned out before entering the courtyard.

The incense he used was a kind of sleeping incense. Once lit, anyone who smelled it would fall into a deep sleep and remain asleep for two hours. That's why Qin Luo felt safe and bold enough to enter the courtyard of those Demon Blade Sect disciples. After entering the courtyard, he first found a room and went inside. He entered the Demon Blade Sect disciple's bedroom, and sure enough, the disciple was already fast asleep. Qin Luo carefully examined the disciple, and just as he had thought, the disciple was breathing and had a heartbeat, but his body had no vitality or temperature, truly like a living dead person.

He then checked two other disciples of the Demon Blade Sect. Their condition was the same; their bodies were lifeless and cold. Upon seeing this, Qin Luo was certain that these Demon Blade Sect disciples had truly become living dead. This news was extremely important to them. These disciples still possessed memories, could speak, and retained their cultivation levels; their bodies had simply mutated. It was unclear whether this mutation was voluntary or involuntary. Regardless, this matter had to be reported to the sect.

If the people of the Demon Blade Sect acted voluntarily, it proves that they have a way to turn themselves into the living dead. And there must be some benefit to them becoming living dead. Whatever the benefit, it will be useful to the Hell Gate. If they acted passively, then we must find out who turned them into living dead and how that person did it. So no matter what, this matter must be reported to the sect.

Qin Luo was somewhat excited. He knew that if these disciples of the Hell Gate discovered anything unusual during their trials outside and reported it to the sect, the sect would investigate and find it to be true, and the rewards would be quite generous. Qin Luo felt that if he reported this matter to the sect, the sect would definitely give him a generous reward.

Qin Luo returned to the inn. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, he originally wanted to leave, but when he thought about the long sword he still needed to retrieve, he stayed. He also wanted to observe the people of the Demon Blade Sect more closely and make sure that this matter was settled.

Over the next few days, Qin Luo observed the disciples of the Demon Blade Sect. He discovered that they had indeed all become living dead. So, after retrieving his longsword and settling the final payment, he immediately left the Demon Blade Sect and took the teleportation array back to the Gate of Hell.

The name Hell Gate sounds terrifying, and the continent they are on looks quite nice, with mountains and rivers. However, perhaps because their continent is far from the sun, the entire continent is filled with eerie winds, and the yin energy is heavier than on other continents. This is why the disciples of Hell Gate cultivate yin-attribute techniques, because in such an environment, cultivating yin-attribute techniques will be twice as effective.

The continent of Hell Gate is quite large, and it appears more solid than ordinary continents. Many disciples of Hell Gate actually live underground, because the yin energy underground is heavier, which is more beneficial to their cultivation.

Qin Luo lived in a relatively remote place. After all, he was only a low-level disciple and couldn't live in a very nice place. However, there was an external affairs hall here.
