Black Crow Divine Monarch himself had said that the second half of the Blood Shine Scripture he had left on the skeleton had been modified by him. Cultivating such a Blood shine Scripture, it would be strange if one didn’t suffer from Qi Deviation. Only he was safe, because he had been invaded by Black Crow Divine Monarch and didn’t have the time to cultivate, so he was spared from this disaster.
Turning his head to look at these people, Yang Kai swept his Divine Sense across the hall and couldn’t find any trace of Black Crow Divine Monarch’s remnant soul, but Yang Kai was certain that he was still here, and had definitely entered the body of one of them. He was most likely trying to possess someone.
However, he was unable to determine who Black Crow Divine Monarch had taken over.
A soft moan came from Qu Huachang, who was next to him. At this moment, her face was completely red, and a bloody mist was rising from her body, making her look quite distressed.
Yang Kai didn’t have time to search for Black Crow Divine Monarch. If he didn’t find a way to treat Qu Huachang’s condition, it was highly likely that her meridians would be destroyed and she would become a cripple.
In a flash, Yang Kai appeared behind Qu Huachang and struck her on the back with his palm. Yang Kai pushed his own strength into Qu Huachang’s body, pushing her chaotic Qi and Emperor Qi back to normal.
Although Qu Huachang had suffered from Qi Deviation, it hadn’t been a long time since she had experienced it, so she had instinctively realized that something was wrong. Therefore, she didn’t reject Yang Kai and instead cooperated with him.
The churning Qi and blood slowly calmed down, and in less than half a cup of tea’s time, Qu Huachang’s complexion became much gentler and her boiling blood also calmed down.
She slowly opened her eyes, a trace of fear flashing across them as she whispered, “Many thanks, Junior Brother!”
She didn’t know what was going on, but after comprehending the second half of the Blood Shine Scripture in the skeleton, her blood Qi began to boil and even her consciousness became blurry. If it weren’t for Yang Kai saving her at the critical moment, she really would have died.
“Senior Sister’s recovery is more important!” Yang Kai said while secretly transmitting his voice, “Senior Sister, please listen to me. The Blood Dao Inheritance here is a complete trap, it was set up by a fellow named Black Crow Divine Monarch…”
After briefly explaining Black Crow Divine Monarch’s scheme, Qu Huachang turned pale with fright. She had never imagined that there would be a Divine Lord’s remnant soul in Blood Monster Cave Heaven, she finally understood why she had fallen into Qi Deviation. It turned out that the Blood Shine Scripture she had comprehended had been modified by someone else.
“Does Junior Brother mean that Black Crow Divine Monarch’s remnant soul is currently inside this person’s body?”
Yang Kai replied, “That’s right, I suspect he has successfully taken over their body.”
His own situation was an exception. Not only was his Soul far stronger than cultivators of the same level, but he also had the Soul Warming Lotus and Soul Devouring Insects in his Knowledge Sea, which was why Black Crow Divine Monarch was unable to do anything to him. However, the others definitely didn’t have as deep a foundation as he did. Even if the ones who came here were all the most elite disciples of the various great forces, and all of them had the potential to grow into giants in the future, but in front of a character like Black Crow Divine Monarch, they still wouldn’t be able to resist.
It was impossible for Black Crow Divine Monarch’s remnant soul to escape from this palace, otherwise he would not be able to survive for long. If he wanted to live, he could only seize a body.
And there were only these few people in the main hall, so if Black Crow Divine Monarch didn’t possess someone, who could he possess?
Among these people, Qu Huachang was undoubtedly safe.
Because she was a woman, Yang Kai knew that if he was Black Crow Divine Monarch, he would never try to possess a woman’s body, otherwise he would definitely have many inconveniences in the future. This was only secondary, the main reason being that Black Crow Divine Monarch valued the Blood Shine Scripture greatly. Qu Huachang woman’s body has high Yin energy, so she was not the best vessel to cultivate the Blood Shine Scripture.
This point could be seen from her previous performance. She and Pei Wenxuan had clearly comprehended the Blood Shine Scripture at the same time, but each time, Pei Wenxuan was faster than her.
It was because of this consideration that Yang Kai had rescued Qu Huachang at the first possible moment.
As for the others… Yang Kai stared vigilantly at the remaining people, his head aching slightly. From the outside, he couldn’t tell who had been possessed. Among them, the Great Thousand Blood Land’s Zhou Yi was undoubtedly the most suspicious, because Black Crow Divine Monarch had said before that he had originally wanted this person with a Blood Dao foundation, but because Yang Kai’s Blood Qi was too strong, he had given up on the idea of possessing Zhou Yi.
Was it Zhou Yi?
Yang Kai stared fixedly at Zhou Yi’s face.
Just as he was about to test the waters, a low shout suddenly rang out from the side. Immediately after, Pei Wenxuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes trembling violently as his Demonic Qi surged and he punched himself in the chest.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Pei Wenxuan’s aura suddenly weakened greatly.
With a whoosh, he suddenly stood up and stared angrily at the skeleton in front of him, cursing, “What bullshit Blood Shine Scripture, it almost ruined my plans!”
Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This Pei Wenxuan had actually managed to free himself from the state of Qi Deviation. Was it because his ability was outstanding, or had he already been possessed by Black Crow Divine Monarch? If he had been possessed, his current performance would be nothing more than a farce.
His expression was filled with resentment and a bit of lingering fear, making it impossible to see any flaws.
Sensing Yang Kai’s gaze, Pei Wenxuan turned his head and said in surprise, “Amazing, you managed to escape? It seems I underestimated you.”
“It’s you! Old theif, die!” Yang Kai shouted as he rushed forward and threw a vicious punch towards Pei Wenxuan.
Pei Wenxuan’s eyes widened, as if he hadn’t expected Yang Kai to attack him at this moment. Although he had provoked Yang Kai before, it was different. At that time, he was completely unscathed, but now that he had broken free from his Qi Deviation, his vitality had been greatly damaged and his strength had been greatly reduced.
However, he was still Myriad Demons Heaven's disciple after all, so he naturally had his own pride. Seeing this, he smiled instead of getting angry, “Since you’ve taken the initiative to seek death, I’ll fulfill your wish and take your head!”
Enduring the pain in his internal organs, he pushed his palms forward, causing the Demonic Qi around him to surge towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s fists transformed into a fist shadow and smashed into the Demonic Qi, but the result was minimal. After barely resisting for a few breaths of time, the Demonic Qi hit his body and sent him flying like a paper kite.
At this moment, Qu Huachang suddenly shouted, “Junior Brother, be careful!”
Pei Wenxuan also couldn’t help being stunned for a moment, because from his vision, Zhou Yi, who had been sitting cross-legged all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and floated behind Yang Kai like a ghost, his hand clawing towards Yang Kai’s back.
Not far away, Qu Huachang tried her best to save Yang Kai, but because Yang Kai had fallen in the direction of Zhou Yi and the others, Qu Huachang had no time to save him. By the time she arrived, Yang Kai was probably already dead.
Why did Zhou Yi want to ambush Yang Kai? Pei Wenxuan couldn’t understand this sudden change, but he was happy. At this moment, he was seriously injured, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to fight. If Yang Kai was killed by Zhou Yi, it would save him a lot of trouble.
As he watched from the sidelines, Pei Wenxuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Yang Kai’s expression was terrifyingly calm, and… this guy shouldn’t be so weak, right? According to the rumors, he had defeated Yu Luocha in one move in the Asura Arena, so even if the rumors were exaggerated, he shouldn’t have been sent flying by a single blow, especially after his cultivation went berserk and his strength was damaged.
There’s something wrong with this brat! Pei Wenxuan thought to himself.
At this moment, an ear-piercing sound rang out and sparks flew in all directions. Yang Kai spat out a mouthful of blood as if he had been struck by lightning and flew back towards Pei Wenxuan, landing not far from him.
Pei Wenxuan didn’t attack again. Since he had already noticed that something was wrong, how could he attack again? Looking up, he saw that Yang Kai’s clothes had been torn to shreds, and on his back, there were golden scales that looked like dragon scales. However, at this moment, many of those dragon scales had been blown away, and there was a bloody wound on his back that looked extremely terrifying.
Under his gaze, the dragon scale slowly disappeared, leaving behind a bloody wound.
Not far away, Zhou Yi lowered his head to look at his big hand, slightly puzzled, as if he hadn’t expected Yang Kai to survive his sneak attack. The moment he made contact with Yang Kai, Zhou Yi clearly felt that Yang Kai’s body was covered in an extremely powerful defensive layer. It was this defensive layer that had caused Zhou Yi’s previous efforts to be in vain, preventing him from clawing out Yang Kai’s heart.
“Ptui!” Yang Kai turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood before turning to Zhou Yi and saying disdainfully, “Old bastard, you’ve been tricked!”
His act of attacking Pei Wenxuan was a lie, the real bait was Black Crow Divine Monarch. [Hoogs: That was stupid, since it was obvious.]
In that situation just now, he had no way of knowing who Black Crow Divine Monarch had taken over. He had no way of saving any of the remaining people. If Black Crow Divine Monarch suddenly attacked while he was trying to save them, he might not be able to resist.
If Pei Wenxuan had been possessed, it would have been a good opportunity to kill him. Fortunately, Black Crow Divine Monarch had not been able to remain calm and had jumped out first. Although he had been prepared in advance, he had almost been killed by Black Crow Divine Monarch in one blow. If he had not activated the Dragon Transformation technique at the critical moment and condensed a dragon scale behind him, his injuries would not have been so simple.
“What are you talking about?” Zhou Yi stared at Yang Kai indifferently.
“Do you still want to put on an act?” Yang Kai looked at him disdainfully, “You’re a Divine Monarch, there’s no need to be so cautious in front of us juniors, right?”
“Divine Monarch?” Pei Wenxuan was dumbfounded when he heard this. He also wanted to ask Yang Kai what he was talking about. How could a disciple from the Great Thousand Blood Land be a Divine Monarch? That was a title only High Rank Open Heaven masters could possess.
“Brother Pei, open your eyes wide and look carefully,” Yang Kai pointed at Zhou Yi, “This person in front of you is not Brother Zhou from the Great Thousand Blood Land anymore. He has already been possessed by an old fart named Black Crow Divine Monarch. When Black Crow Divine Monarch was alive, he was imprisoned in Blood Monster Cave Heaven. After Blood Monster Divine Monarch died, he seized Blood Monster Divine Monarch's Blood Dao inheritance and moved it here to lure us in so he could find a suitable body to possess.”
Pei Wenxuan frowned, “How do you know!”
Yang Kai replied, “Because he try to seize my body, but he failed! That’s why he switched to Brother Zhou Wu.”
Pei Wenxuan turned his head to look at him, instinctively refusing to believe Yang Kai’s words, feeling that Yang Kai was up to no good. After all, if a Divine Monarch wanted to seize his body, who here could avoid him? Yet Yang Kai had actually said he had failed.
