With a Senior here, the Bloodthirsty Demon Worm Is Nothing to Fear!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

All kinds of information continued to emerge online, while news about Sword Valley gradually died down.

The citizens' lives also returned to their former peace. There were no more reports of demons appearing or star beasts attacking.

Many citizens even regarded the Purple Haze Heavenly Light from that day as an auspicious omen. They thanked the hidden expert for stepping in and even took it upon themselves to search the streets for traces of him.

...Inside an inconspicuous rental apartment.

Qin Yang ate half an apple as he watched the people below through the blinds. He had long noticed these search parties.

"Ah, why does it feel like I'm getting more and more fans?"

Qin Yang could not help shaking his head with a sigh.

He had no intention of revealing himself to those searching for him.

Becoming some kind of idol hero was not his style. Whoever wanted to do it could do it.

He only wanted to be an ordinary little administrator, slacking off every day and living a decent little life.

"Just lie flat and be done with it. Not fighting or competing is pretty nice too."

Qin Yang finished the last bite of his apple and immersed himself in the Enlightenment Space once more.

Today was a rare weekend, the perfect time to raise his mastery of the Heaven Severing Sword Drawing Technique from minor accomplishment to major accomplishment.

Qin Yang closed his eyes and focused, pondering the details of this Emperor-level martial art.

The Heaven Severing Sword Drawing Technique was of an extremely high level.

When it remained silent, all its sharpness was concealed, as though it were gathering strength.

But the instant the hidden sword left its sheath, it moved like lightning and a fleeting shadow, enough to make heaven and earth roar and perish.

A Sword Dao with such terrifying power.

Was exceedingly difficult to comprehend completely.

During his enlightenment in the valley that day, he had drawn the figure of the White-Robed Swordsman into his mind. But to truly perform it, he still needed more practice and insight.

Even the slightest difference could require some sword cultivators decades to comprehend! "This is the difficulty of the Sword Dao. No wonder there are so few Sword Dao Masters. Every faction treats them as honored guests and competes to recruit them."

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Qin Yang shook his head, filled with emotion.

But fortunately... he had the Enlightenment Space!

"Come on, Enlightenment Space. Deduce and fuse it for me!"

With a thought, Qin Yang focused and recalled the sword technique in his mind.

The next moment.

Buzz! The Violet Star Sword rang out in response, and the figure of that White-Robed Swordsman appeared again.

At first, the image in his mind was still somewhat blurry. He could not even clearly make out the details of how the swordsman held his sword.

But as his heaven-defying comprehension strengthened.

It took only a moment.

For every blurred detail to vanish.

Soon, the swordsman's figure became crystal clear, like a holographic projection. Every detail was visible!

A vast amount of muscle memory formed. From minor accomplishment to major accomplishment, the Heaven Severing Sword Drawing Technique now obeyed him as readily as an arm or finger.

"Success!"

Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, overjoyed and eager to test its power.

But testing it with the Violet Star Sword was definitely out of the question.

The moment it left its sheath, it might split the entire building in half! Qin Yang looked around before finally picking up the fruit knife he had used to peel the apple.

He came to the window and opened it.

A gentle breeze brushed against him as white clouds unfurled across the sky.

"You'll do."

Qin Yang gripped the knife handle in his right hand and held the plastic blade cover in his left, then lightly pulled it toward the distant white clouds.

Clang! Metal scraped against plastic, producing an almost inaudible sound as the blade left its sheath.

The next moment.

The vast sea of clouds instantly split into two, revealing the clear azure sky between them and forming a magnificent sight like the East African Great Rift Valley.

The bustling crowd below looked up at the sky and were all dumbfounded...

Starsea Police Department.

Inside the Conference Room, the atmosphere was silent and oppressive.

The displayed PPT showed the investigation materials from the past few days concerning the Bloodthirsty Demons.

Jianghai City's three Innate Realm experts gathered once again to discuss the results of this search.

"Recently, after our Police Department's investigation, we discovered that the Bloodthirsty Demons have completely vanished." The Commander looked at the PPT and said in a deep voice, "No one has been harmed. It is as if they have all gone into hiding... What are your thoughts?"

"In this old one's opinion, there are likely two possibilities for why these Bloodthirsty Demon Worms have hidden themselves." Old Li stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"Two possibilities?" The Commander's expression turned serious. "Please elaborate, Old Li."

"No need to be so polite. This old one merely has a humble opinion." Old Li shook his head and said softly, "The first reason is simple. It is related to that Sword Dao Senior from before. The Bloodthirsty Demon Worms may have sensed the aura of a powerful expert and dared not act recklessly, so they have temporarily withdrawn."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Martial Hall Master and the Commander both nodded in agreement.

Ever since the Purple Haze phenomenon appeared that day.

Not to mention these Bloodthirsty Demon Worms.

Even the star beasts within a hundred miles of Jianghai City had all retreated far from humanity due to that terrifying Sword Dao aura.

None dared make any rash moves.

They feared angering that expert and bringing ruin upon their entire race.

"And the second reason, Old Li?" the Martial Hall Master continued in a grave voice.

"The second reason would be rather troubling." Old Li furrowed his brows and said slowly, "If these Bloodthirsty Demon Worms are not hiding out of fear... then the only possibility is that they have already consumed enough blood. The consequences would be unimaginable!"

As Old Li's words fell, everyone in the Conference Room wore grave expressions.

They quickly realized the severity of the matter.

Such a massive crisis could not be underestimated.

If the strange insects emerged then, the consequences would be unimaginable, leaving devastation and countless deaths in their wake! "I wonder whether that Sword Dao Senior is still in the city."

Old Li said hopefully, "If we could obtain his assistance, suppressing these Bloodthirsty Demon Worms would be no more difficult than turning over a hand."

"Old Li is right, but our Star Police Department cannot simply wait around." The Commander's expression darkened as he said in a low voice, "I have prepared for the worst. At present, we have already located the Bloodthirsty Demon Worms' nest."

As he spoke, he switched the PPT to the next page.

It displayed the satellite location of Lishui Lake.

When the Library Director saw it, his face immediately changed. "It's actually there?"

The largest freshwater lake in Jianghai City received huge numbers of citizens and tourists every day. If an insect disaster truly broke out, it would definitely result in countless casualties!

"That's right." The Commander nodded and said coldly, "But the area around Lishui Lake is simply too large. For now, all I can do is send people to seal off the site and prohibit anyone else from entering.

Then I have dispatched a large number of Acquired Realm experts to station themselves nearby."

"But waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit is not a solution in the end." Old Li sighed softly. "We must prepare for the worst."

...Meanwhile.

At the bottom of Lishui Lake.

Water currents surged endlessly, while large stretches of fish had vanished.

Inside a jagged rocky cave, Bloodthirsty Leeches slowly stirred. Their fat, black bodies resembled lumps of rotten flesh as they continuously swelled and warped.

It was as though they were about to fill the entire cave.

A layer of eerie crimson bloodlight covered the space above, radiating a terrifying and horrifying aura.
