Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Soul-devouring Demon

"Finally, you’re here. Quick, take a look at Yunfan. He’s in bad shape!"

Duan Xinyuan said anxiously.

"Lead the way!" Qin Yi said.

Upon arriving at a room on the second floor, Qin Yi saw Duan Yunfan lying on the bed, his eyes tightly shut, his face as pale as paper. Although he was unconscious, his brows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat, as if he was immersed in a nightmare.

Qin Yi stepped forward to examine Duan Yunfan’s condition, furrowing his brow slightly, finding the situation more severe than he anticipated.

Duan Xinyuan had said on the phone that something happened to Duan Yunfan and asked him to come and take a look. He originally thought Duan Yunfan was just injured, but it turned out to be this serious.

"Internal organs injured, meridian fractures, mental disorder, what exactly happened to him?" Qin Yi asked.

However, both Xue Aoyu and Duan Xinyuan shook their heads.

Duan Xinyuan said, "When we found Yunfan, he was already like this."

"Where did you find him?"

Xue Aoyu said solemnly, "I suspect this has to do with the Heavenly Pit."

"Hmm?" Qin Yi looked at her, "Tell me about it."

Xue Aoyu said in a serious tone, "We had already filled the Heavenly Pit, but on the last night of completion, Yunfan was the one guarding it. The next day, when we found him, he was already like this, unconscious."

"Was Yunfan guarding the Heavenly Pit alone?" Qin Yi frowned.

Duan Xinyuan hurriedly said, "Besides Yunfan, there were two others. But they are fine."

Qin Yi frowned, "It may not necessarily be related to the Heavenly Pit. But undoubtedly, Duan Shao encountered something extremely terrifying."

"Step back a bit, I’ll heal him first."

With that, Qin Yi raised his hand and began using energy movement to heal Duan Yunfan.

However, a few minutes later, Qin Yi’s brow also furrowed.

Xue Aoyu asked anxiously, "How is it?"

Qin Yi frowned and said, "Strange, his injuries should have stabilized by now and he should be waking up."

He treated Duan Yunfan’s lungs and meridians, but Duan Yunfan remained unconscious.

Duan Xinyuan and Xue Aoyu were full of worry. If even Qin Yi couldn’t heal Duan Yunfan, they really didn’t know what to do.

Qin Yi slowly raised his hand, and a purple light swept out, completely enveloping Duan Yunfan.

"So it’s you causing the trouble!" Qin Yi suddenly whispered, turning his hand into a claw and extracting a wisp of black mist from Duan Yunfan’s forehead.

This wisp of black mist was ten centimeters long, and it seemed alive, struggling left and right trying to escape after being trapped by the purple light.

He had just thoroughly examined Duan Yunfan’s body. This thing was hidden very well, almost missing his detection.

Xue Aoyu was shocked, "What is this thing?"

Qin Yi said solemnly, "Demonic Qi."

Duan Xinyuan and Xue Aoyu were stunned, faces full of shock!

"How could Yunfan have Demonic Qi on him?"

Qin Yi’s eyes sank slightly, "Duan Shao must have come into contact with a Soul-devouring Demon."

Duan Xinyuan asked in shock, "What is a Soul-devouring Demon?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "Strictly speaking, a Soul-devouring Demon is a kind of spiritual body that can attach itself to a person and control their divine soul. This thing feeds on human vitality, and after the host dies, it will switch to another host."

Duan Xinyuan and Xue Aoyu were stunned! As Guardians, they considered themselves experienced, but had never heard of a Soul-devouring Demon.

Qin Yi knew about the Soul-devouring Demon from the Eye of Righteous and Evil. But he didn’t know where it originated from.

"Blood Flood Dragon, do you know what a Soul-devouring Demon is?"

"Master, a Soul-devouring Demon is also born from the Primordial, neither demon nor beast, rejected by both the Demon and Beast races, much like an Earth Demon, it’s an independent group, very troublesome."

Qin Yi frowned, once again the Primordial?

"Blood Flood Dragon, do you know what the Primordial is?"

"Master, in the memories I’ve inherited... the Primordial is a terrifying place, with Qi Refiners who have cultivation surpassing the heavens and earth, possessing the power to destroy the world. There are endless demon beasts, demons... it’s a very frightening place."

Qin Yi’s heart trembled, "Do you think the appearance of the Heavenly Pit is related to the Primordial? I suspect that this Heavenly Pit is connected to the Primordial World you mentioned."

"Master, I do not know about that! But the Blood Ghost Vine, Blood Monkey, Earth Demon, and Soul-devouring Demon all belong to the Primordial."

Qin Yi felt an uneasy premonition.

First, there were the Blood Ghost Vine, Blood Monkey, and Earth Demon, and now the Soul-devouring Demon has appeared. Perhaps more and more demons will show up. This could be a catastrophe for Earth.

Qin Yi’s eyes flickered slightly. If his suspicions are correct, this matter must be taken seriously. He needed to find a way to meet with the Azure Dragon Guardian God and others, as only they could mobilize all the Guardians to strengthen their defenses.

At this moment, Duan Yunfan woke up.

"Yunfan, how are you feeling?" Duan Xinyuan stepped forward, full of concern.

Duan Yunfan paused for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and slowly shook his head, "I’m fine!"

Xue Aoyu sincerely said to Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, thank you! We owe you another big favor."

Duan Yunfan understood that it was Qin Yi who saved him, "Thank you for saving my life!"

Qin Yi waved his hand, "No need to be polite! Duan Shao, first tell us, what did you encounter?"

Duan Yunfan recalled for a moment, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.

"I don’t know what that thing was? It was humanoid, but not human, composed of black mist, and my sword couldn’t hurt it."

Qin Yi said solemnly, "It seems it was a Soul-devouring Demon indeed!"

"What’s a Soul-devouring Demon?" Duan Xinyuan curiously asked.

Qin Yi said, "It’s a demon that can control a person’s divine soul."

Duan Yunfan’s eyes were filled with terror, "Then that’s it, it sent a wisp of black mist into my forehead, and then I passed out, dreaming of terrifying scenes. No matter how I struggled, I couldn’t wake up."

Duan Xinyuan’s face was grim, gravely saying, "So that means the Soul-devouring Demon may have already possessed someone."

Qin Yi nodded, it’s very possible.

Xue Aoyu curiously asked, "Then why didn’t the Soul-devouring Demon just possess Yunfan?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "Perhaps this Soul-devouring Demon isn’t strong enough to possess a Qi Refiner, or maybe it’s too greedy and wants to control more people, using a wisp of black mist to control one person, so it can absorb more vitality."

"What will happen if it absorbs vitality?" Xue Aoyu asked.

Qin Yi’s eyes were grave, "It will become stronger and control more people, absorbing their vitality. By then, many people may die."

Duan Xinyuan and Xue Aoyu’s faces changed drastically.

"This matter must be reported immediately," Duan Xinyuan said.

Xue Aoyu asked, "Qin Yi, how can we tell if someone is possessed by the Soul-devouring Demon?"

Qin Yi said, "It’s simple, look at their eyes. If someone’s possessed, the whites of their eyes will turn black. But these things are hard to deal with, swords and knives can’t harm them, only Qi attacks can."
