Evil Demons and Heretical Cults! County Town Powers!

Chen Feng nodded solemnly.

"That's right, it's people!"

"The Pity Life Sect claims to be saving the world from suffering, but they're walking the path of heretical demons!"

"They mix human blood with the blood of Demons, and then through the Blood Sacrifice to the Holy Mother of Pity Life, they exchange their own blood with the blood of Demons."

"Using a human body to walk the path of a Demon."

Hearing this, Wang Xuan gasped.

Exchanging human blood with the blood of Demons?

If this isn't a heretical path, what is!

"So… so they become Demons?"

Chen Feng sighed, helplessly saying, "Who says they don't? Demons are bloodthirsty by nature and inherently cruel. Exchanging blood with Demons is already unorthodox!"

"Once you absorb the blood of a Demon, your mind will be eroded by it!"

"So the more Blood Sacrifices these Pity Life Sect people undergo, the more they become like Demons. We call them Demon-Humans!"

"And the situation you just saw is called Demonization!"

"The Demon blood within the body is stimulated, causing one's strength to skyrocket, but most people, once they use the Demon blood, will turn into Demons who only know how to kill!"

Chen Feng paused, then continued:

"And the Pity Life Sect's Blood Sacrifice favors the blood of women and children."

"Especially the blood of virgins who haven't experienced carnal affairs and infants who haven't reached a full month. According to them, this kind of Blood Sacrifice has the best effect!"

"The guy you encountered just now should have only just come into contact with the Pity Life Sect and only had a little Demon blood transplanted into his body."

"If it were a Pity Life Sect Demon-Human who had undergone a complete Blood Sacrifice, we would probably all be planted here today!"

"The reason I'm passing through here is because women and children have been disappearing around the county seat recently, and there are rumors that people from the Pity Life Sect are lurking about!"

"So Lord Commander ordered us to investigate the surrounding area."

"I didn't expect to run into you and that beast as soon as we got here!"

"It seems that the people from the Pity Life Sect have already arrived in White Water County!"

Listening to Chen Feng's account, Wang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He originally thought Demons were scary, but now it seems that people are even more terrifying!

"Virgin blood… women!"

"Could it be…"

Suddenly!

Wang Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed drastically!

Seeing this, Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Little Shi, what's wrong? Why does your face look so bad?"

Wang Xuan came back to his senses and shook his head repeatedly.

"It's nothing."

But Wang Xuan's heart was very heavy.

According to Chen Feng, the Pity Life Sect likes to use virgin blood for Blood Sacrifices, and his sister-in-law Lu Yao hasn't married yet and is also a virgin.

In addition, Hou Feng of the Pity Life Sect, whom he just encountered, was a complete stranger with no grudges, yet he came straight for him!

He doesn't have many enemies. Shi Yong has already been killed by him. The only enemy left is Zhou Bapi!

Thinking about the Blood Sacrifice, Wang Xuan had an ominous premonition.

"Could this Zhou Bapi… be a member of the Pity Life Sect!"

Wang Xuan felt terrified.

If Zhou Bapi is a member of the Pity Life Sect, then everything makes sense!

"No way!"

"If this guy is really a member of the Pity Life Sect, he definitely won't let me off so easily!"

Wang Xuan couldn't help but clench his fists.

If Hou Feng just now was sent by Zhou Bapi, then it means that Zhou Bapi is a member of the Pity Life Sect!

Just one Demon-Human is so difficult to deal with. If a few more come, he would probably be dead already!

"I'm still too weak!"

Wang Xuan couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Little Shi, you haven't told me how you encountered this beast?"

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

"Also, how did you become a Martial Practitioner?"

Chen Feng then spoke, asking the question in his heart.

He had joined the army in the county town for two years, enduring many hardships before becoming a Martial Practitioner of Iron Skin level!

But Wang Xuan had been weak since childhood. When he returned a month ago, he was still sickly.

He had no resources and no Martial Path cultivation techniques.

Yet in just one month, he had become a Martial Practitioner!

Wang Xuan explained, "Brother Feng probably knows that my father and elder brother had an accident a few months ago. I had no choice but to go into the mountains to hunt for a living."

"Today, while hunting in the mountains, I accidentally ran into this guy. Without a word, he tried to attack me, and after I injured him with an arrow, he turned into this."

"As for how I became a Martial Practitioner, Brother Feng, you know that my ancestors have made a living by hunting, often venturing into the mountains."

"Some time ago, I went into the mountains and happened to find a red wild fruit. After eating it, I felt my strength gradually increase."

"After that, I became a Martial Practitioner without really understanding how."

Wang Xuan didn't mention either the Zhou family or the martial arts matters, as he felt it was better to avoid trouble.

If Zhou Bapi had no connection with the Pity Life Sect, that would be fine, but if he did, Zhou Bapi would probably want to get rid of him even more quickly!

Before he had the ability to protect himself, he couldn't reveal that he was a Martial Practitioner!

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but frown.

"Red fruit?"

"Your luck is really good. If I'm not mistaken, it should be some kind of natural treasure. That's a rare and valuable thing."

"I've only heard about it since joining the military camp."

Chen Feng was a little envious.

Natural treasures are of great benefit to a Martial Practitioner's cultivation. Once obtained, they can reduce months, or even years, of arduous training.

"Right, Little Shi."

"I saw your archery skills were extraordinary just now. Have you ever thought about leaving this place?"

Chen Feng asked.

"Leave this place?"

Wang Xuan's heart tightened, and he said, "Brother Feng, are you talking about going to the county town?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's right."

"Now, Demon disasters are frequent in the borderlands, and internally, there are evil sects like the Pity Life Sect running rampant. Staying in this village is not a long-term solution!"

"The reason I came back this time is twofold: first, I was ordered to investigate the Pity Life Sect, and second, to take my father to the county town."

"Your archery skills can be described as divine!"

"If you can enter the county town, you can achieve great things!"

Wang Xuan was somewhat moved by these words.

He now had the Martial Path to rely on and would eventually have the power to protect himself.

But.

From Chen Feng's words, the world was becoming increasingly unstable, and with the Pity Life Sect appearing here, people had already started disappearing.

If he continued to stay, his sister-in-law, Lu Yao, would be in a very dangerous situation!

"Brother Feng, according to you, where could I go if I entered the county town?"

Chen Feng said, "There are four places."

"First, naturally, is the military camp."

"Ordinary people who enter the military camp need to start training and learning martial arts from the recruit camp. Those who can pass the assessment within seven days become Martial Soldiers, and those who can't can only become Cannon Fodder, which is basically cannon fodder."

"But you're different. You're already a Martial Practitioner, and with your Triple Star Shot archery skills, you can be called a divine archer. You'll be a sought-after talent anywhere!"

"Don't worry, as long as you want to enter the military camp, I'll immediately recommend you to the chiliarch. With your skills, you'll at least be able to become a Banner Officer in the future."

"Second, there are martial arts schools."

"The martial arts school in our town doesn't even count as a martial arts school. At most, the master is only a little stronger than me!"

"But the large martial arts schools in the county town are all guarded by top Martial Path experts."

"If you can become a disciple of a Martial Path expert, your future will be limitless!"

"Third, there are aristocratic families."

"You can become a guard for an aristocratic family. With your archery skills, you can definitely get in, but once you're in, you'll lose your personal freedom."

"Fourth, there are sects!"

"This is the best place to go, but also the most difficult."

"The sects of our Great Yuan Dynasty have been passed down for thousands of years, and their foundations are incredibly terrifying. I don't know how many Martial Path experts there are. If you enter one of them, even if you're just an ordinary disciple, your future will be limitless."

"It's just that the conditions for sects to recruit disciples are very harsh, requiring both aptitude and talent, so ordinary people can't get in, so I can't recommend it."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

For him, the best places to go were actually the military camp or a martial arts school.

Going to aristocratic families and wealthy clans would only mean being a house guard, without much free time at all, which would be a restriction for him.

As for sects...

Too difficult.

Without connections, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get in.

Seeing Wang Xuan deep in thought, Chen Feng suddenly remembered something.

"Right, there's another place!

"The Demon Slayer Division!"
