Then Su Jiu remembered the question Li Ran had been interrupted before he could finish answering.
"I heard that even the demonic cultivators can't withstand the demonic qi released by those demonic beasts?"
Ning Fan nodded. "The demonic qi of the Demon Realm targets neither Dao cultivators nor spiritual qi, but humans. At their core, demonic cultivators are still human, so of course they fall within those demonic beasts' hunting grounds too.
"The Demon Realm's demonic qi can demonize not only Dao cultivators, but demonic cultivators as well. Once demonized, they lose their reason, but their strength increases exponentially..."
Once demonized, people could no longer distinguish friend from foe and killed anyone they saw. Often, the first to suffer were the close friends, relatives, or lovers beside them.
One side had lost all reason, while the other still retained theirs and could not bear to strike a killing blow. In the end, it usually ended in tragedy.
Su Jiu's eyes darkened slightly. "Come to think of it, those demonic cultivators bear no small responsibility for the Demon Realm's successful descent.
"Without them, the Demon Realm's descent wouldn't have gone so smoothly, and those altars and formations would have been discovered and uprooted long ago!
"Now they're reaping what they sowed, bearing the karmic consequences of their own actions."
It was only a pity that so many truly innocent people had been dragged into it.
As Su Jiu and Ning Fan talked, Qi Song's treatment of the patient gradually drew to a close.
The man had not awakened, but the bleeding had stopped, and his life had been saved.
"How is he? What's his condition?"
"Is Senior Brother out of danger?"
Qi Song had barely been about to catch his breath when a crowd surrounded him.
"He's safe for now.
