Ming Xi had placed a tracking talisman on Zixin's body. When he learned of their identities, he had this idea. They wouldn't come to capture Shang 'er for no reason, nor would they not look for Wo Sheng even though they knew where he was.
"They … are they the ancient blood demons?" Tang Hanyan, who came with Ming Xi, asked in surprise. "Their spiritual energy is different from ours."
"Blood demons cultivate demonic energy, not spiritual energy. The human continent is lacking in spiritual energy. To them, this isn't a good place to cultivate, so they became blood demons."
Ye Muxin looked at Shang 'er. "But why do they want to capture Shang' er?"
Ming Xi and Shang 'er looked at each other. It shouldn't be Zixin and Xiyue who want to capture someone, but the person behind them.
That person might already know Shang 'er's identity.
However, ever since the blood demons appeared, Shang 'er had concealed her aura. Unless it was someone with a higher cultivation than her, no one would be able to see through her.
"I don't know. We'll know when we see the person behind them," Ming Xi said in a low voice. "Shang 'er and I will follow them. You guys return to the palace first."
Tang Hanyan said, "I'll go with you guys. I'll have another helper."
"I'll go with you guys too," Ye Muxin said.
Ming Xi thought for a moment. He still didn't know how many people they had. If Tang Hanyan and Ye Muxin went with them, he would at least have two more helpers.
"Then let's go." Ming Xi nodded, and continued to search according to the path of the tracking talisman he had placed on the Chosen Heart Body. They were already using the speed of teleportation to track, and they were a very long distance away from the imperial capital. Finally, they stopped in a secluded area deep in an old forest.
"The tracking talisman lost its connection," Ming Xi said. "It seems like Zixin discovered it."
Shang 'er looked around. "The spiritual energy here is much more abundant than in other places. Let's search. Maybe it's nearby."
"We'll split up and search," Tang Hanyan said. "If you find it, send a voice transmission immediately."
The four of them split up and started searching in this forest.
"Ming Xi, who do you think sent them to capture me?" Being alone with Ming Xi, Shang 'er began discussing the two blood demons with him.
"It can't be Wen Tian." Ming Xi said in a low voice. He had already analyzed the situation. If it was Wen Tian, based on Wo Sheng's description of him, he would have gone to look for Wo Sheng first. Especially since he knew that Wo Sheng's mother was the reincarnation of Xiao Yao, it was even more impossible for him to hide behind the scenes and order Zhe Xin and Xiyue to capture Shang 'er.
"I also don't think it's Wen Tian." Shang'er nodded lightly. "But who could it be?"
Ming Xi frowned and shook his head. "It's hard to say. I seem … to sense that Little Six is nearby."
Shang'er looked at him in surprise, "Wasn't Little Six captured by Fan Luo?"
Fan Luo?
"Is Blood Demon related to Fan Luo?" Ming Xi suddenly asked. He thought of something. Fan Luo seemed to be the reason why Ye Wei became a beginner Blood Demon.
But wasn't Fan Luo a ruler of the Upper God Continent? No matter what, he had nothing to do with the Ancient Blood Demon.
"Do you still remember Ye Wei?" Shang'er asked softly.
"Yes." Ming Xi nodded. "Why would Zexin and Xiyue listen to an Empyrean from the God Continent? They should be enemies to begin with."
This was also something Shang'er could not understand.
Bang!
Not far away, there was a sudden loud sound.
Ming Xi's expression changed. "Let's go take a look."
They arrived at the place where the sound came from as fast as they could. There was no one else but Tang Hanyan and Ye Muxin.
Tang Hanyan was injured.
"Are you okay?" Ming Xi hurried over to help Tang Hanyan up. There was a red wound on her neck with some white stuff on it.
"Who injured her?" Shang'er asked.
Ye Muxin supported the unconscious Tang Hanyan. Her face was very pale. "That woman just now. Third Aunt stood in front of me to save me … Ming Xi, how's third aunt?"
"I'm afraid there are blood worms in her body. I can't heal her." Ming Xi said. Blood worms were very strange. They couldn't be killed even if they were in the body. Using spiritual energy to force them out would only make them grow faster and eventually steal the host's consciousness.
"Then what should we do?" Ye Muxin was so anxious that she was about to cry. Although it was her first time seeing a Blood Demon, she knew how powerful the blood worms were. If Third Aunt became like a walking corpse, she would never forgive herself.
Ming Xi said, "My mother and the others will arrive at Royal City soon. Let's go there now to find her."
"Zhen … can you save Third Aunt?" Ye Muxin saw a little hope.
"Yes, let's go," Ming Xi said. There was no time to waste. They had to find Wosheng and the others as soon as possible.
Wosheng was an ancient Blood Demon. He must know how to save Tang Hanyan.
"Okay, okay!" Ye Muxin nodded vigorously.
"I'll carry her," Ming Xi said and walked over to carry Tang Hanyan. "Did Xiyue injure you?"
Ye Muxin took a deep breath and explained what had happened. "At first, we met a boy about 14 or 15 years old. He should be a mortal, but his cultivation is at least at the peak of the Qing State. Third Aunt and I worked together to capture him. Then, the Blood Demon appeared. We … were no match for the Blood Demon."
"A boy about 14 or 15 years old?" Ming Xi's attention was immediately attracted by this. "What does he look like?"
"He looks … very good. I've never seen such a beautiful boy. He was taken away by Xiyue," Ye Muxin said.
That boy was most likely Yan Xiaoliu!
Ming Xi wanted to chase after Yan Xiaoliu, but he looked at Tang Hanyan hesitantly. If he didn't find Yan Xiaoliu now, Fan Luo would definitely take him away. But if he did … Tang Hanyan's body would probably be taken away by the blood worm.
San 'er called out to him in a low voice, "Ming Xi?"
"Go to King's City first," Ming Xi whispered. Yan Xiaoliu could be found in the future. If they didn't save Tang Hanyan in time, there would be no chance.
Ming Xi asked Ye Muxin to pass a message to Duan Jingshu, asking him to tell Tang Zhen that they would go to King's City first and leave everything else to Tang Zhen. Duan Jingshu would stay and help.
Since the message was given, they rushed to King's City as fast as they could.
On the other side, when Ye Zhen and the others were about to reach King's City, they received a message from Ming Xi and knew that Tang Hanyan was injured by Xiyue.
Ye Zhen looked at Wosheng in surprise. "Xiyue … and Zexin are going to catch San 'er."
"I've only seen Fan Luo once," Wosheng whispered. "I've never seen him before."
"Wosheng, I'm not doubting you." Ye Zhen frowned. "I haven't been able to treat the injuries caused by the blood worm. Can you … save Tang Hanyan?"
"Let Ming Xi send her here first. I'll try," Wosheng said. If it was just the blood worm, he had a way.
Ye Zhen's expression was heavy. This matter was actually related to Fan Luo, then … it was even more complicated.
She couldn't figure out why Zexin and Xiyue, who were ancient blood demons, would listen to Fan Luo.
