413: Chapter 407 Senior Expert 413: Chapter 407 Senior Expert At the solitary peak where Han Tai lived alone, Ye Zhen t the ailing Han Tai.
Physically, he looked healthy except for his slightly pale face; one couldn’t spot any other issues.
If Luluo hadn’t ntioned it earlier, one wouldn’t even realize that Han Tai was sick, let alone that he had been sick for over a month.
Ye Zhen was sowhat incredulous.
Seeing Ye Zhen arrive, Han Tai was extrely happy.
He kept his few servants busy, preparing food and drinks, utterly delighted.
Even his pale cheeks showed a hint of rosiness.
However, after only a few words with Ye Zhen, Han Tai began to yawn excessively and in the blink of an eye, yawns filled the air, as if he was about to fall asleep right then and there.
This was the current symptom of Han Tai’s illness: excessive sleepiness.
Compared to severe sleepiness, a slightly weak body didn’t seem to be much of a problem.
If Luluo hadn’t nudged Han Tai, he might have fallen asleep right then.
According to Luluo, Han Tai’s strange illness began a month ago.
Initially, it was another good friend of his who noticed sothing was off.
During a conversation, Han Tai had fallen asleep abruptly, and shortly after being awakened, he had fallen asleep again.
After the onset of this strange illness, True Person Bixin, Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng, including several elders from Qingluo Sect proficient in dicine, had all examined Han Tai thoroughly.
Even Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng had searched Han Tai’s body inch by inch with Divine Soul Power and found no anomalies.
Eventually, they had to conclude it was either poisoning, chronic poisoning, or a hidden injury to the Divine Soul.
As a result, Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng brought out two bottles of treasured Ning Shen Jade Liquid and several bottles of Detoxification Pills, none of which had any effect.
Without any other options, they could only check on Han Tai every two days, hoping that as the illness progressed, they would find so clues, but so far, there was no lead.
“Brother Han, before you started having these episodes of sleepiness, did you visit any place?” Ye Zhen asked with furrowed brows.
“Place?
No, I’ve been moving around near the Sect, at most just wandering around the Sect’s vicinity…
hu…”
Mid-sentence, Han Tai began to snore again and fell asleep on the spot.
Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly beca grave.
“Brother Ye Zhen, do you have any ideas?” Luluo was quite anxious.
Within the Sect, she and Han Tai were fellow disciples and had the best relationship.
Naturally, she was worried about Han Tai’s severe illness.
Ye Zhen slowly shook his head.
This wasn’t his area of expertise; he was powerless here.
“What should we do then?
If it’s about curing illnesses, in the Phantom Divine Empire, our Qingluo Sect is second to none, but we can’t discern what ailnt Brother Han has.
What should we do?” Luluo was nearly crying from anxiety.
“Don’t worry, let think of a solution.”
Suddenly, Ye Zhen rembered the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.
Although the Ten Thousand Stars Plate couldn’t cure Han Tai’s illness, it was an excellent tool for gathering information, just like when Ye Zhen collected intelligence on the Tiannan Hua Family.
Although most of it was useless, he could always find a few useful leads.
Within a few monts, Ye Zhen issued a bounty of thousands of star points with the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.
Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage martial artist with extre sleepiness, able to fall asleep two to three tis within 15 minutes while conversing, skin slightly pale.
Vein Forging Realm powerhouses have checked his body with Divine Soul without finding any abnormalities.
Reward of a thousand star points for anyone who can provide relevant clues.
The bounty was sent out, but the response surprised Ye Zhen.
Unlike the last ti when he issued a bounty for information about the Tiannan Hua Family—when his Star Plate vibrated non-stop within half a quarter-hour, receiving dozens of ssages—
this ti, 15 minutes passed, and the Star Plate remained silent.
However, Ye Zhen was not in a hurry.
During the over two months Ye Zhen spent in Star Luo City at the Stars Tower’s branch in the Black Dragon Domain, it was not for naught.
So Stars Tower martial artists who were on good terms with Ye Zhen, like Protector Du Xinglei, had shared many useful tips about using the Star Plate.
In their words, any martial artist who had access to the Star Plate was at least of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with most being from the Soul Sea Realm or Vein Forging Realm.
Therefore, regarding the Star Plate’s bounty, no martial artist would respond lightly.
Essentially, making up sothing just to earn bounty star points was nearly impossible.
The nurous responses to Ye Zhen’s previous bounty for information on the Tiannan Hua Family were just a fluke.
Because many people had so knowledge about the Tiannan Hua Family, earning so reward points by sharing was quite normal.
But the bounty Ye Zhen offered this ti involving Han Tai’s condition was very specific, and people who didn’t know would definitely not respond casually.
After waiting for over an hour without receiving any ssages, Ye Zhen was sowhat disappointed and was about to store the Star Plate in his storage ring when it suddenly vibrated.
A ssage abruptly appeared.
“While this person is unconscious, cut his wrist deeply and let him bleed profusely, then report the reaction to this old man, so I can verify if it is the condition I am aware of.”
Looking at this mysterious ssage, Ye Zhen felt a bit conflicted but decided, after so thought, to give it a try.
Compared to finding out the real cause of the illness, shedding so blood was nothing!
After informing Luluo, Ye Zhen, with a flick of his finger like a knife, made a deep cut on Han Tai’s wrist.
Hisss!
Warm fresh blood instantly spurted out from Han Tai’s wrist.
Almost the mont the blood spurted out, Han Tai, who was still in deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes like a demon awakening, his eyes shooting icy, knife-like glares at Ye Zhen.
“You’re seeking death!”
An unnaturally cold breath burst forth from Han Tai’s body, and with a casual swipe, the wound on Han Tai’s wrist stopped bleeding and healed as if it had never been there.
This scene terrified both Ye Zhen and Luluo, causing their faces to change dramatically.
Almost simultaneously, Han Tai’s eyes emitted a deathly gaze, his Spirit Light surged wildly around him, and he attacked Ye Zhen in a frenzy, disregarding everything.
In an instant, Han Tai’s attacks had Ye Zhen flustered and in disarray.
Although Ye Zhen’s combat power was much higher than Han Tai’s, and he could easily have subdued Han Tai if he wanted, considering that Han Tai was ill, Ye Zhen couldn’t possibly strike him severely and could only defend passively.
Luluo was also in a panic.
“Senior Brother Han, please stop!
This is Brother Ye Zhen who ca to see you.
He is just treating you, he hasn’t hard you!”
However, no matter how Luluo called out, Han Tai seed not to hear at all and kept attacking Ye Zhen crazily, with each move sinister and lethal, and his loud shouts were extrely fierce.
In a position where he could only defend and not retaliate, even Ye Zhen got hit by several of Han Tai’s strikes.
But what shocked Ye Zhen was, one of Han Tai’s seemingly ordinary attacks actually caused small cracks to form on his Red Jade Spirit Armor.
Normally, a warrior at the Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage Peak wouldn’t be able to cause even the slightest crack on Ye Zhen’s current Red Jade Spirit Armor, let alone Han Tai, who was only at the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Moreover, was this still the honest and sincere Han Tai?
Amid the chaos, Ye Zhen recalled the ssage on the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.
Since Han Tai showed a clear anomaly after bleeding, it indicated that the person sending the ssage might know about Han Tai’s condition.
As he fought and retreated, Ye Zhen suddenly activated the Ten Thousand Stars Plate and sent a ssage.
“After bleeding, beca violently aggressive, nearly killing , why?”
As soon as the ssage was sent, Ye Zhen’s Ten Thousand Stars Plate vibrated, and he noticed that the total number of star points on his plate had decreased by ten thousand.
“Ten thousand star points per ssage, this is the fee for ssage exchanges within one to three domains!”
In an instant, Ye Zhen was greatly surprised, not expecting that the one responding to the reward was so far from him.
The person replied very quickly.
“Check if there is a faint layer of blood within the spiritual power?”
Ye Zhen looked and got another big shock, and indeed, Han Tai’s spiritual power did contain a layer of blood – perhaps, this was the reason behind Han Tai’s frenzied increase in combat power.
“Yes!”
“Done for!”
“Senior, what exactly is going on, please advise!” Ye Zhen was sowhat frustrated as four ssages back and forth amounted to forty thousand star points, which equated to forty thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals.
This rate of expenditure, even with a sect backing one, could not be sustained; moreover, this senior answering the questions was sowhat verbose, painfully so for Ye Zhen.
Fortunately, in the next mont, the senior sent a long ssage all at once, sparing Ye Zhen the agony, but the content of the ssage struck him like a bolt of lightning!
“Blood Demon!
Drowsy, becos mad after bleeding, spiritual power contains a hint of blood—these symptoms occur only after being possessed by a Blood Demon.
As for why Divine Soul Power cannot detect it, the reason is simple: after the Blood Demon possesses soone, it hides within the blood.
Unless you have a special Daoist School, even Fourth Realm Martial Artists who have established their foundations cannot detect it.
The Blood Demon hides in the host’s blood; if the bleeding is left unchecked, the Blood Demon will flow out with the blood from the martial artist’s body, sensing the threat of life or death, the concealed Blood Demon will imdiately act out.
It will frantically attack the person letting blood, treating the bleeder as a mortal enemy!
It can be confird that the person who is sick is absolutely possessed by the Blood Demon.”
“Blood Demon…”
Watching Han Tai attack him frantically, a flicker of shock and more of anger flashed through Ye Zhen’s pupils.
Ye Zhen could never have imagined that Han Tai was possessed by a Blood Demon.
This reminded Ye Zhen of the situation more than a year ago when he, Han Tai, and Luluo passed through Golden Sun City, which had been massacred by a Blood Demon.
Could it be that the Blood Demon had co for revenge?
However, whether it was a coincidence or the Blood Demon had co for revenge, the imdiate priority was to save Han Tai.
It is said that martial artists possessed by the Blood Demon are beyond salvation, but this senior from the Outer Domain, who is in contact with Ye Zhen through the Ten Thousand Stars Plate, seems to know a great deal about Blood Demons.
In an instant, Ye Zhen felt as though he had grasped a lifeline, not minding the staggering cost of ten thousand star points per ssage, he sent two ssages consecutively.
“Senior, please advise how to eradicate the Blood Demon possession?
I’m deeply grateful.
I still have over two hundred thousand star points on my Ten Thousand Stars Plate, all of which I can offer as a reward!”
“Senior, the one possessed by the Blood Demon is a friend of mine, and moreover, this situation has arisen because of .
I beg you to treat us with compassion!”
Ye Zhen almost begged in his tone.
Because Ye Zhen knew, even the Sect Leader and elders of the Qingluo Sect hadn’t discerned that Han Tai was possessed by the Blood Demon, then this senior who could determine Han Tai’s condition with just a few words must be an exceptional master, a truly impressive figure.
Perhaps he had a way to save Han Tai.
