After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Suddenly, Shi Yan excitedly grabbed the wrists of the girl who was receiving treatment.

When Shi Yan approached her so suddenly, the girl stammered and seemed unable to speak, only looking at Shi Yan with embarrassment.

The master's words were passively activated by the "Record of Leaving Heaven".

She seems to possess a mysterious and unpredictable charm that makes girls want to touch her.

Eyes, consciousness.

When you come into contact with those dark eyes, it feels as if your very soul is about to be drawn into them.

The girl sobbed for a long time but couldn't say anything.

It was the female senior who stepped in to help her out when she saw her junior's embarrassed state and told her where they had been the night before.

After they fled separately from their martial uncle, they immediately went to the Starry Sky Bureau to report the case.

After that, I stayed at a guesthouse.

Guest house?

Shi Yan and Miss Xingguan exchanged a glance and realized that something was seriously wrong.

She left Ruan Yiyi to take care of her junior apprentice.

With Feng Manlou, Miss Xingguan, and that girl by their side, Shi Yan and the others set off.

They went straight to where the girls had stayed the night before.

Since it's a guesthouse, the owners must be ordinary people.

Perhaps he entertained the two girls with the thought that if there was any danger, someone might come to the rescue and it would be easier to escape.

but--

If all the girls in the Crystal Realm have already been infected.

Wouldn't the probability of ordinary people getting infected be even greater?

Holding Feng Manlou in his arms, Shi Yan quickened his pace.

It was a small wooden building near the edge of the city.

The Yan River is right next to it.

The Yan River runs through the entire Yan River City, dividing it into two urban areas, upper and lower.

It was as if I had a premonition.

Shi Yan filled several bottles with water at different locations along the Yan River, indicating to Miss Xingguan to take them back to the Xingtian Division for intensive analysis.

Then, guided by the girl, Shi Yan followed her to the guesthouse.

"Shopkeeper~~~" A clear and melodious voice rang out as the girl knocked on the wooden door of the guesthouse at Shi Yan's prompting.

no respond.

Shi Yan had already sensed the corpse aura inside the wooden building.

They simply broke down the door and entered.

Following the aura of death, Shi Yan saw the old woman lying on the bed, already on her deathbed, and the old man pacing back and forth unconsciously in the room, his eyes devoid of any life.

The girl covered her mouth with both hands, her pupils dilating unconsciously.

how...

The two elderly people were perfectly fine when they left this morning.

"Don't just stand there, there's still hope." Shi Yan stepped forward and subdued the old man. The corpse poison hadn't fully spread yet, so there might still be hope.

"Take them back to the Starry Sky Division first."

We took the two elderly people back to Xingtian Division for emergency treatment. As for the issue of the Yan River water, we probably won't have a result until tomorrow.

Before that, Shi Yan returned to that guesthouse.

She held the kitten, searching for traces left by the two fellow disciples.

Shi Yan pushed open the door to the room where the two had stayed the night before and carefully checked it.

Just as Xing Tiansi said.

Wherever the corpse demon or corpse poison appeared, there were no traces left by the casting of spells or the use of poison.

However, Shi Yan's original purpose was not to find the traces left by the casting of spells and poisons.

Shi Yan lifted Feng Manlou up.

"There are no body parts here... and the smell isn't too bad..."

"Can I smell it?"

Feng Manlou waved his short legs.

Sure, it's possible... but I'm clearly a majestic Xunfeng spirit beast, how can they treat me like a 'dog'? That's too much.

If it weren't for wanting to continue hiding her identity as 'Feng Manlou,' she could suddenly 'change' in the middle of the night and take the opportunity to snuggle up to Sister Shiyan.

He could even... satisfy his own quirks and secretly taste Sister Shiyan's flavor.

Feng Manlou had already spoken out on the spot to express his 'protest'!

If you treat yourself like a dog, you should at least give yourself some compensation.

Before Feng Manlou could even wave his little paws a few times, Shi Yan had already kissed the kitten on the head, and Feng Manlou's bright green eyes widened.

I'm satisfied...

Then--

The familiar yet slightly different scent of "Snow Cold Technique" immediately permeated her senses.

How strange... They're all the same "Snow Cold Technique".

The "Snow Cold Skill" of Sister Shiyan tastes completely different from the "Snow Cold Skill" that Palace Master Wenren used to heal her injuries.

A moment later—

Shi Yan held up a litter of kittens as he searched for something unusual inside the wooden building.

Feng Manlou tilted his head, his tongue almost sticking out uncontrollably.

She wrinkled her little nose, and then quickly—

Feng Manlou did indeed sense something unusual.

The taste of blood.

It doesn't taste like 'Tian Gui' (a type of herbal medicine). Cultivators generally don't have that kind of thing after they enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

The old woman in the wooden building was clearly past that age.

That's the taste of something else... blood.

It's a woman's blood, but it has obvious abnormalities.

Feng Manlou vigorously waved his short legs.

Seeing Feng Manlou's actions, Shi Yan followed Feng Manlou's guidance and soon... saw the place Feng Manlou had indicated.

The handrails inside the wooden building.

In the dim light, the marks on the handrail could still be faintly seen.

The teacher lit the candle.

Now it's clear that there are mottled...dried bloodstains on the handrail.

It wasn't sprayed there at the crime scene.

It looked more like someone had smeared blood on their palm and smeared it all the way up.

Do not--

Perhaps... he cut open his palm and smeared it all the way up.

Reluctant to use the Dance of Fine Snow on such a thing, Shi Yan summoned a wind sword and sliced ​​off a section of the handrail.

She returned to the Star Celestial Bureau and handed over the handrail to them as well.

The truth seems to be right before our eyes.

Shi Yan, along with Feng Manlou, began searching at various sites where the Corpse Demon had appeared.

really--

The vast majority of the scenes still bear the marks left by blood that has dried.

Feng Manlou's eyes widened as she remembered what she had seen in that alleyway.

Waving her little paws vigorously, she urged Shi Yan back to the place where she was surrounded by those eight demonic cultivators.

A long trail of blood appeared in Shi Yan's field of vision.

"—Keep touching the peel of this fresh orange!"

There is only one truth!

Part 212: The Witch and the All-Knowing Shen Qianqian [Second Update, 3K words]

They returned to the Starry Sky Division with the dried blood sample.

As expected, the result was exactly as the teacher had predicted.

The scent of corpse poison was detected in all the blood samples.

Or rather—

That wasn't normal human blood at all; it was the blood of a corpse demon.

But what kind of corpse demon... would leave its blood in various places, infecting one unsuspecting passerby after another?

even...

He infected the eight spirit beings after killing them.
