Changes (4400 Bonus)

Night.

In a mulberry grove outside Guangyuan City.

"Greetings, Master."

Yuan Tu knelt before an old man dressed in a scarlet robe, his expression sinister.

"Very good, Little Thirteen. You truly are my most outstanding disciple. Not only have you advanced rapidly in the Scarlet Blood Demonic Art, you even managed to kill Xu Ning, the Prairie Fire Spear, this time and make your name known throughout the world. Heh heh..."

Old Demon Scarlet Blood gave a strange laugh. "It was not for nothing that I held back the experts of the Wind and Rain Sect for you!"

"It was all thanks to Master's excellent guidance."

Yuan Tu answered in a stiff, formal tone.

"But... why does your expression make me feel so unhappy?"

Old Demon Scarlet Blood gave a grim smile before suddenly pulling a bell from his robes and shaking it lightly.

Jingle, jingle...

Amid the crisp, pleasant chimes, Yuan Tu immediately dropped to one knee, intense agony spreading across his face.

"Actually, among us people of the Demonic Path, most masters and disciples do pay attention to a little loving kindness from the master and filial devotion from the disciple. No, that should be the master's kindness and the disciple's loyalty... Unfortunately, I have never played by those rules!"

Old Demon Scarlet Blood smiled. "You are ruthless and vicious—a natural seed of the Demonic Path. Unfortunately, you encountered me. As my disciple, you must receive the Heart-Devouring Gu. There is no cure for this Gu; it will not stop until death... For your entire life, you will be unable to disobey my orders!"

"This disciple absolutely has no intention of betraying you!"

Yuan Tu said through his struggle.

However, he knew it would not do much good. Old Demon Scarlet Blood was already half-mad!
