Chapter Summaries

Su Yu fled an Earth Realm demon’s remnant soul and found a hidden chamber, where a recording revealed the Ghost Shadow Sect had imprisoned the demon and fed it martial artists.

• Su Yu evaded the demon’s tentacles by finding a hidden gap in the formation and slipping into a secret chamber.
• Su Yu found Feng Bujue’s recording, which explained that the Ghost Shadow Sect had built a blood-extraction formation to feed an Earth Realm demon until it corrupted the sect and took control.

• Elder Bedrock, Elder Sharp Sword, and Elder Heavenly Mystery entered the underground plaza seeking the supposed treasure, and the demon fixed its gaze on them.
• The demon’s tentacle pierced Elder Bedrock’s right shoulder and lifted him into the air.

Su Yu used all his Slaughter Points to advance Blood Sha Mountains and Rivers Slash and comprehend Blood Sha Burst while the demon overwhelmed the three Mystic Sword Sect elders. With his escape blocked and the elders close to death, Su Yu decided he had to join forces with them to survive.

• Elder Bedrock, Elder Sharp Sword, and Elder Heavenly Mystery fought off the demon’s tentacles with an array, but the tentacles pierced Bedrock and battered the shield.

• Elder Heavenly Mystery called to Su Yu, offering him the Ghost Shadow Sect’s hidden treasures if he helped slay the demon.
• Su Yu judged that he could not escape or face the demon alone, and resolved to join forces with the elders.

Su Yu emerged from the collapsing chamber and defended the Mystic Sword Sect elders from the demon’s tentacles and its army of bone puppets. He destroyed a Mystic Realm puppet with one slash, leaving Panshi stunned as the battle continued.

• Su Yu moved among the puppets and cut them down one by one, using his saber technique to annihilate their Sha Qi cores.
• Elder Bedrock, Elder Sharp Sword, and Elder Heavenly Mystery watched Su Yu's massacre and realized he might regard them as prey as well.

• The demon screamed in pain and terror, while the elders were injured by the psychic shriek; Su Yu sensed the demon was already repairing itself.

He left the secluded chamber as Cao Yue realized his presence had caused Old Zhang’s terror, and Su Yu’s gaze made the guard faint again.
