Zong Shen twisted his neck and kept walking until he reached the [Evil Earth Spirit], which had been carved into a "blood gourd."
What trace of a human shape did the earth spirit have left?
Its fruit-like body was steadily oozing bright crimson juice.
The liquid soaked into the soil, darkening the surrounding earth even further.
The floral fragrance in the air gradually dispersed, leaving behind only a faint scent of blood.
Before its existence had been uncovered, the [Evil Earth Spirit] and the [Blood Rose Legacy] had clearly been a hidden danger and a source of trouble.
With the [Rose Mark]'s power to bewitch hearts and minds, it could easily throw an entire great city into chaos.
But for Zong Shen, dealing with it was not actually all that difficult.
Unless the [Evil Earth Spirit] transformed into a Blood Fairy and gained the ability to beguile demigod-level powerhouses, its rampage within Lentax Great City alone would not be enough for it to develop a force worthy of Zong Shen's wariness.
In its current state, it was not the [Evil Earth Spirit] itself that was powerful, but the Legendary powerhouses under its control.
