Chapter 591: Trail of Blood

After leaving the ancestors’ tomb, Senior Wang and the others rushed back to the Jaded Garden to warn all of the disciples about the demon.

Of course, the disciples were in disbelief at first, but they eventually snapped out of their daze and started making their way to the evacuation site, where a private airport and dozens of large airplanes had been prepared just in case they ever needed to do a mass evacuation.

“Leave everything behind! The demon is being stalled by Daoist Yuan and the grand elders! Don’t let their efforts go to waste!” Senior Wang shouted at the disciples that were stumbling around in a panic.

“Miss Meixiu, we have a helicopter. Let’s leave here in advance.” Sebastian said to her, who was still carrying Chu Liuxiang even though he’d offered to carry Chu Liuxiang for her.

Meixiu nodded.

Although they will be leaving behind their luggage, they can always return for them in the future when the demon is no longer a threat.

Thus, Meixiu followed Sebastian to the helicopter.

Of course, she made sure to warn the people in the hotel and Jean, who brought them to the Jaded Garden.

“What? There’s a monster? How is that possible?”

Jean doubted Meixiu’s words at first, but then the hotel he was staying at received news from the Jaded Garden about the situation.

“I will be leaving this place with them, so you can return by yourself,” Meixiu said to Jean before following Sebastian to their helicopter and leaving the Jaded Garden.

“What are we going to do now?” Meixiu asked Sebastian once they were in the air.

“We’ll stay in the Yang City for now, and depending on the situation, we may or may not return to the Chu Family. If the demon is dealt with, we will return to the Jaded Garden, but if things get bad, we will return to the Chu Family,” Sebastian said.

“What about you? If you have no place to go, you can follow us back to the Chu Family.”

“But Yuan…” Meixiu immediately hesitated, as she didn’t want to leave Yuan behind in the Jaded Garden.

Sebastian remained silent for a moment before speaking, “He’ll be fine. I don’t know him very well compared to you or the Young Lady, but I have a feeling that he’ll be okay. Furthermore, he wishes for your safety, so I cannot allow you to go back there until the demon is no longer a threat.”

Thus, Sebastian controlled the helicopter, flying it to Yang City.

Shortly after Meixiu and the others left the Jaded Garden, the demon would enter the Jaded Garden, and it immediately began destroying everything in its sight.

Unfortunately, not everyone had evacuated from the Jaded Garden, and when the demon spotted them, it would immediately sink its sharp teeth inside their body before ripping out their skin and meat.

“What the fuck is that thing?!”

“Run! It’ll kill us all!”

“Aaaaaaah! Help me! It’s eating me! Help!”

Chaos immediately ensued from the demon’s rampage, and wherever the demon appeared, there would be carnage.

Yuan returned to the Jaded Garden about ten minutes after the demon, and by the time he arrived, the demon had already killed hundreds of people.

“Damn it! I was too late!”

Yuan could feel his heart beating uncomfortably loud when he saw the scene, and he couldn’t help but blame himself for not being able to stall the demon long enough for them to escape.

However, he didn’t have the time to blame himself, and he immediately began following the trail of blood left behind by the demon.

After following the trail for a few minutes, Yuan suddenly recognized the direction it was heading, and his face immediately sank.

“The demon is heading towards the immortal caves…? Oh no! Azure!”

Yuan quickened his steps and rushed towards the immortal caves without looking at the trail anymore, and he silently prayed that Azure had already evacuated from the Jaded Garden.

‘Please be safe, Azure!’ Yuan’s heart burned with anxiety as he rushed to the immortal caves.

Meanwhile, a few minutes ahead of Yuan, the demon arrived at the immortal caves that have the most spiritual energy in the entire Jaded Garden.

“Hahaha! I must have gone crazy from starvation when I ran away from that human! Now that I have satisfied my hunger, I can finally think again! That human! Although he looked like that bastard who sealed me, there’s no way such a weakling could be that person!” The demon laughed out loud as it bit on a severed arm, chewing on the meat and bones together without any problem.

“Once I find that bastard again, I will make sure to consume him properly for embarrassing me like that!”

After walking for a few more moments, the demon suddenly stopped in its track when it noticed a female human sitting on top of a larger boulder, who appeared to be in deep thoughts— so she didn’t notice the demon’s presence.

The demon licked its lips and approached this unsuspecting individual.

Once the demon was close enough, the woman snapped out of her daze and turned to face the demon.

“Yuan?” She subconsciously muttered in a low voice.

Then she noticed that this presence reeked of blood and bloodlust.

“Who are you?” She asked, still unaware that she was before a monster that’d killed hundreds of people already.

The demon realized that this human was blind, so she couldn’t see its hideous appearance.

However, the demon couldn’t care less whether she could see or not, and it calmly walked up to her with its claw-like hands raised into the air before swinging it directly at the woman’s chest.

It was at this moment a familiar voice frantically resounded, “Azure!”

“Yuan?” A smile subconsciously appeared on Azure’s face when she heard his voice.

Then she suddenly felt a burst of pain in her chest.

Still unaware of the situation, Azure subconsciously touched the part of her chest where the pain was coming from, and to her shock, there was nothing, as a gaping hole had appeared in her chest.

A moment later, she collapsed, falling from the boulder and landing on the ground, but her body didn’t react to the fall.

When Yuan, who’d arrived at the scene just to witness the demon thrust its bloody claws into Azure’s chest, he roared in a desperate voice, “NO! AZURE!!!”
