71: Exposed

The moment the Demon Corpse stood up, Envoy Han's expression turned fanatical, as if he had witnessed the descent of a true god. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, bowing to the Demon Corpse and shouting, "Congratulations, Cult Master, on the perfection of your Sacred Corpse, becoming a Heaven Rank Master in one fell swoop!"

"Congratulations, Cult Master, on the perfection of your Sacred Corpse, becoming a Heaven Rank Master in one fell swoop!"

Seeing this, the other hundred-plus Blood God Cult disciples also knelt down in unison like a tide, reverently worshipping the Demon Corpse, their thunderous congratulations echoing throughout the cave.

"Jie—"

The Demon Corpse suddenly let out a sharp, piercing shriek, as if from the netherworld, instantly penetrating Qin Shou's eardrums and making him dizzy and disoriented, almost unable to stand steady.

Immediately after, the Demon Corpse merely raised a finger casually, and a powerful suction force, like a tornado, instantly enveloped everyone present. Qin Shou felt as if all the vital essence in his body was being pulled by some mysterious power, as if it were flowing backward, threatening to burst out of his body at any moment, and his internal organs felt as if they were being torn apart, causing extreme discomfort.

Qin Shou was greatly alarmed, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his entire body cold. Fortunately, he was far enough from the Demon Corpse, and this sensation of vital essence flowing backward only lasted for an instant before disappearing.

However, the disciples surrounding the Demon Corpse were not so lucky.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was bleeding from their seven orifices, their faces pale as paper, and the vital essence within their bodies, like a bursting dam, uncontrollably converged in front of the Demon Corpse, forming a crimson trickle, eerie and terrifying.

"Cult Master, why is this? We are loyal and followed you; why do you treat us this way!"

Among this group of disciples, only Envoy Han, with his slightly stronger cultivation, managed to resist for a moment, not immediately having his vital essence drained.

But even so, he was still bleeding from his seven orifices, his face contorted, and he questioned her hoarsely, his voice filled with unwillingness and anger.

"Giggle—giggle—giggle—"

Hearing this, the Demon Corpse suddenly let out a delicate laugh, her voice melodious and lingering, with a hint of allure amidst the strangeness.

Then, she looked at Envoy Han in front of her with interest, her large eyes blinking, her head slightly tilted, seemingly curious about him.

But soon, the curiosity in her eyes completely vanished, replaced by a craving and eagerness for the vital essence within Envoy Han's body, like a hungry wolf seeing a delicious lamb.

She could clearly feel that among everyone present, the vital essence on Envoy Han was the most delicious and palatable.

Qin Shou watched this scene from afar, his mind momentarily in a trance, feeling that when the Demon Corpse laughed delicately, she was truly captivating and enchanting. Amidst the allure, there was also a hint of sinister charm and terror, making people both want to approach and yet feel an uncontrollable fear.

Qin Shou believed that, apart from Ling'er in his mind, probably no woman in the world could compare to this Demon Corpse.

The next moment, Qin Shou saw the Demon Corpse's expression turn cold, as if she had become a different person. She suddenly opened her cherry-like mouth and inhaled sharply.

Although Envoy Han had some cultivation, having already reached Yellow Rank Peak, he was no match for the Demon Corpse. He finally could no longer hold on, and all his vital essence, as if grasped by an invisible hand, burst out of his body and was swallowed by the Demon Corpse.

In just a moment, all hundred-plus Blood God Cult disciples present were drained into dried corpses by the Demon Corpse. Their skeletal bodies, like air-dried jerky, were shocking and chilling.

After draining the vital essence of so many people, the Demon Corpse wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth and let out a satisfied burp.

"Fortunately, she is only Earth Rank Peak. If she were truly Heaven Rank, even at this distance, Master, your vital essence might not have escaped the fate of being drained by her just now."

Just then, Ling'er's voice once again echoed in Qin Shou's mind, with a hint of relief in her tone.

"Earth Rank! Didn't you say that as long as it's perfected, it would be Heaven Rank?" Qin Shou asked, confused.

"If it were a complete Demon Corpse, it naturally should be Heaven Rank."

Ling'er patiently explained, "However, this Demon Corpse, refined from the vital essence of nine hundred ninety-nine women, is the lowest-grade Demon Corpse. More importantly, Master, you mixed in the fresh blood of two men, which made the Yin Fiend Qi of this Demon Corpse impure and chaotic, so it only has Earth Rank Peak strength."

"So that's how it is. But even if it's Earth Rank, I think it's enough to give us a hard time!"

Qin Shou looked at the Demon Corpse emitting monstrous evil energy, feeling his scalp tingle and a deep sense of powerlessness welling up within him.

"Holy crap, Old Qin, how are we supposed to play this now! This thing is too terrifying!"

Nicknamed Guo Gang was still holding Qin Shou tightly. Qin Shou could feel Nicknamed Guo Gang's body trembling like a sieve, clearly terrified by the scene before him.

Qin Shou was about to push Nicknamed Guo Gang away when he suddenly smelled a strong, pungent odor of urine, which rushed straight to his head.

"Damn it! Nicknamed Guo Gang, you son of a bitch, you peed on me!"

Qin Shou immediately flew into a rage, pushing Nicknamed Guo Gang away, no longer caring about fear.

And in that instant, the Demon Corpse's cold eyes suddenly looked in their direction.

Both Qin Shou and Nicknamed Guo Gang's hearts sank, as if they had been targeted by the Grim Reaper. Their blood felt as if it had congealed, chilling them from head to toe, thinking, "We're finished!"

"Old Ghost, what is the meaning of this? These people will still be useful in the future, why did you kill them all?"

Just as the two were feeling utterly despairing, a slightly displeased voice rang out. Ye Wuhuan, looking unhappy, walked out from the depths of the cave.

Following behind Ye Wuhuan was the sexy lady Gu Ling.

"Holy crap, this idiot! He's too generous! What a scapegoat!"

Guo Gang and Qin Shou exchanged glances, their faces simultaneously showing surprise, and the same thought popped into their minds.

On the Demon Corpse's exquisitely beautiful face, a hint of confusion first appeared, as if she didn't quite understand Ye Wuhuan's words.

Immediately after, her gaze bypassed Ye Wuhuan and fell upon Gu Ling behind him, her beautiful eyes scanning Gu Ling up and down.

"My Ye Family has expended so much financial and material resources to help you establish this Blood God Cult, and even helped you refine the Fiend Blood Demon Corpse. Are you trying to burn your bridges?"

Ye Wuhuan still seemed unaware of the seriousness of the situation, maintaining a condescending posture, his tone growing stricter, with a hint of accusation.

"Without these Blood God Cult members, all the years of effort my Ye Family put into establishing a nationwide underground organization based in the City would be in vain! Old Ghost, no matter what, you must give me an explanation today!"

However, the Demon Corpse completely ignored the exasperated Ye Wuhuan in front of her. Instead, she extended a slender finger, pointed at Gu Ling who was standing behind Ye Wuhuan, and uttered a single word somewhat awkwardly: "You—"

Then, the Demon Corpse seemed to be trying hard to organize her thoughts, speaking haltingly, word by word: "And—I—seem—to—be—the same—as—you—different—from—them—"

As she said this, the Demon Corpse's finger pointed at Ye Wuhuan again, and her eyes also glanced at Guo Gang and Qin Shou, who were hiding in the shadows.

Guo Gang and Qin Shou both shivered as the Demon Corpse's intimidating gaze swept over them. They felt as if they had been drenched in ice water, chilling them from head to toe, and were so scared they nearly collapsed to the ground, thinking, "Damn it, she already found us!"
