Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 567 - 227: Tonight, You’ll Be With Me

"Ugh!"

Looking at the two horrific corpses, several female disciples couldn’t help but retch on the side.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen corpses before, but these two fellow sect members were laughing and chatting with them during the day and became unrecognizable dried corpses by night.

The gruesome death and the drastic change were too much to accept.

Su Xin’s face was pale: "Who are these two junior brothers?"

Cheng Qingyu coldly replied, "They are Junior Brother Zhang Yue and Junior Brother Huang Yunsheng."

Su Xin glanced at her. These two were close to Cheng Qingyu, yet they died so miserably.

Chun Ningzhi bent down to inspect them and then stood up, saying, "There are no wounds on the two juniors, but all their blood energy had been drained."

"So eerie?" Su Xin was shocked, "How did the murderer achieve this?"

Others also exchanged puzzled glances and discussed among themselves.

"No wounds, yet their blood energy was completely drained. What kind of demon technique is this?"

"Could it be a demonic beast?"

"How is that possible? If it were a demonic beast, there would surely be bite marks!"

"Nor could a cultivator achieve this, right? I’ve never heard of a cultivation technique that specifically siphons blood energy."

"Last night it was Zheng Wei and Li Chengdao, tonight it’s Zhang Yue and Huang Yunsheng. Hmm... all of them were close to Cheng Qingyu?"

Someone quickly noticed the common link between the four deceased and looked at Cheng Qingyu, as well as Qin Gengyun and Lan Yin, who were at odds with Cheng Qingyu.

Su Xin waved her hand and asked, "Who discovered this first?"

No one answered until someone pointed to Qiu Zhihe and Little Hammer a moment later.

Su Xin frowned, "Junior Sister Ruo, Fairy Su, was it you who discovered this?"

Little Hammer, carrying a large hammer, replied nonchalantly, "Yeah, me and... Ruomei saw a ghost, chased it and lost it, and then she found these two unlucky guys."

"A ghost?"

The crowd was stunned to hear Little Hammer continue:

"Yeah, that thing was soft and sticky, floating around in the air. If that’s not a ghost, what is?"

Su Xin looked at Qiu Zhihe: "Junior Sister Ruo, is it true?"

Qiu Zhihe nodded.

Cheng Qingyu suddenly spoke, "Junior Sister Ruo, what were you and Fairy Su doing out so late?"

Everyone’s eyes turned to her.

Actually, Qiu Zhihe shouldn’t have been here.

She went to meet Xue Wen and Xue Wu in the back mountain and was blocked by Little Hammer just after returning to the front mountain.

The guy wanted to fight her.

Qiu Zhihe didn’t want to alert others, nor did she want to engage here, but Little Hammer couldn’t hold back after waiting for so long.

As they tangled, a thing resembling a residual soul suddenly appeared.

Little Hammer, out of curiosity, swung his hammer to chase after it, and Qiu Zhihe followed, wanting to see what the residual soul was really about.

But the residual soul was swift, and both lost sight of it. Qiu Zhihe soon found the two dried corpses.

However, when questioned by Cheng Qingyu, Qiu Zhihe couldn’t reveal everything and said:

"I came out for a walk and bumped into Fairy Su. We both saw that strange thing and chased it. I found the bodies when I got here."

"So..." Cheng Qingyu sneered, "Did you discover these two bodies alone?"

Qiu Zhihe replied calmly, "What are you trying to say?"

Cheng Qingyu said coldly, "Zheng Wei and Li Chengdao’s bodies were discovered by Lan Yin, and Zhang Yue and Huang Yunsheng’s bodies were discovered by you. Is it really just a coincidence?"

Qin Gengyun stepped forward, standing in front of Qiu Zhihe, and said to Cheng Qingyu:

"Senior Sister Cheng, may I ask if you know of any cultivation technique in this world that can siphon blood energy without damaging the skin?"

Cheng Qingyu squinted her eyes, "Junior Brother He, why do you protect Junior Sister Ruo so much? Are you also in cahoots with them?"

Liu Su sneered, "Cheng Qingyu, are you stupid? Ruo Mei is my sister-in-law, so of course, my brother will protect her. Do you think everyone is as cold and heartless as you?"

"He Su!" Cheng Qingyu roared, "You’re just an inner sect disciple, repeatedly defying me. Today I’ll teach you the sect rules!"

Bam!

A large hammer fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble. Little Hammer dug his ears:

"So annoying! We can’t even fight. Hey, Li Qingyu, was it? Come here and let me feed my hammer!"

Cheng Qingyu’s face changed. She subconsciously stepped back half a step and cupped her hands, saying:

"Fairy Su, this is an internal matter of Zhenyang Sect. You should not intervene."

Although she was in the second-layer Nascent Soul, and Little Hammer’s cultivation hadn’t been restored to the Nascent Soul Realm, she didn’t dare to confront the famous Thunder Sword Immortal.

Little Hammer nonchalantly said, "I don’t care about your internal affairs. If I don’t like you, I’ll hammer you!"

Then Su Xin stepped forward, "Fairy Su, please calm your anger. We won’t make things difficult for Junior Sister Ruo."

"Make it difficult for her? Just you?"

Little Hammer snorted, "You’re all cowards, boring. I’m going back to sleep!"

Saying this, he picked up his hammer and left.

Only then did Cheng Qingyu coldly look at Liu Su, "Junior Sister He, Fairy Su is gone, so let’s see what you have to rely on?"

Su Xin stopped her from continuing and said to the crowd, "Everyone should go back and rest now."

"Senior Sister?" Cheng Qingyu was taken aback and looked at Su Xin incredulously.

Su Xin said, "Both junior brothers died from blood energy being siphoned, and to my knowledge, there’s no such cultivation technique in this world, and..."

She paused and said no more.

Today she sensed someone was watching, and the "ghost" that Ruomei and Su Hongling mentioned matched it.

Perhaps this so-called "ghost" was attached to whoever killed Junior Martial Uncle Shi and Junior Martial Uncle Wei.

It might even be... Xia Qinglian!

Chun Ningzhi obviously thought of this possibility too, his face turned pale, and he whispered to Jian Yue:

"Junior Sister Ye, don’t worry. If it’s really that... female demon, I’ll risk my life to protect you!"

Jian Yue chuckled coldly at him, "Really? Let’s hope you don’t get weak-kneed when the time comes, Senior Brother Chun."

Chun Ningzhi was overjoyed. Could Xiyue be moved by me? He immediately patted his chest and said, "Junior Sister Ye, rest assured, I’m here!"

Su Xin paused briefly and continued, "Junior Brother Lanyin and Junior Sister Ruomei killed numerous demonic beasts in Zhenlian City and saved many people. I believe they wouldn’t harm fellow sect members. The sect is going through turbulent times, and we must not become disorganized!"

The crowd echoed:

"Senior Sister is right!"

"We will follow Senior Sister’s teachings!"

"Though Junior Brother Lanyin is a freeloader, he’s definitely not a bad person!"

"Though Junior Sister Ruo has poor taste, she’s definitely not a bad person!"

Cheng Qingyu’s face turned grim, yet she could only remain silent.

At that moment, everyone began heading back to their residences, but no one dared to sleep soundly tonight.

"Sister-in-law, let’s go."

Liu Su was about to leave with Qiu Zhihe when she saw Qiu Zhihe suddenly grab Qin Gengyun’s hand in front of everyone:

"Tonight, you’re with me."
