Chapter 1847: Chapter 1844: Out of Control (Part 2)

When the masked man spoke these words, a low growl emerged from his throat, like a wild beast. Yasuo watched from the side, a schadenfreude smile on his face.

Xu Feibai stared coldly at the masked man, his eyes carrying an infinite pressure: "If you dare to step one foot outside, you’ll be reduced to ashes instantly."

"Master, his stability is really too poor. Any random eclipse makes him transform, which will expose our identities." Yasuo’s eyes turned sly, trying to provoke. He always clashed with the masked man, so naturally, he wanted Xu Feibai to destroy the masked man.

The masked man quickly bowed his head, humbly saying: "Master, I know my mistake. I absolutely won’t leave the room by half a step. Please don’t kill me."

Yasuo glanced at him coldly, smirking: "Humph, what’s the use of keeping you? The master had you investigate the whereabouts of the Ice Soul, and there’s been no news for so long."

"Yasuo..." Xu Feibai suddenly called out to him. Yasuo was startled and instinctively tried to dodge, but Xu Feibai’s hand had already grabbed his shoulder.

Yasuo was trembling in fear, trying to plead for mercy: "Master, Yasuo misspoke, please forgive me!"

But Xu Feibai was unmoved, extending a finger to stroke Yasuo’s wrist. Xu Feibai’s fingertip gleamed with a cold light, easily slicing through Yasuo’s skin. Blood immediately gushed out, dripping onto the floor.

"Drink his blood." Xu Feibai said lightly, but this sentence made Yasuo’s soul leave his body in fear.

"Spare my life, master, spare my life..." Yasuo repeatedly pleaded for mercy.

"You won’t die." Xu Feibai replied indifferently.

The masked man, as if receiving a blessing, quickly crawled over, started licking the blood on the floor, then tilted his head back to let Yasuo’s blood flow into his mouth.

"Ah..." The masked man made a sound of satisfaction, but in Yasuo’s ears, it was alarming. You’re satisfied, but my blood is running dry.

Yet Yasuo dared not move, he could only watch with wide eyes as his blood continuously flowed, until he was dizzy, at which point Xu Feibai finally released him. He immediately controlled the Gu Worm within himself to emerge and stop the bleeding.

After drinking the last drop of blood, the masked man kneeled with one knee before Xu Feibai, respectfully saying: "Thank you, Master, for your gift."

"Tonight’s blood moon hasn’t reached its peak yet, don’t wander around." Xu Feibai did not respond much, just casually warned before walking alone to the balcony, looking up at the moon by himself.

Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan were still lying on the grass, watching the moon’s changes. The moon was slowly being consumed, and the part swallowed by darkness gradually turned dark red.

"Ancient people saw eclipses and thought the moon was being eaten by the Heavenly Dog, then performed ritual ceremonies to drive away the Heavenly Dog. It’s quite magical if you think about it." Xiao Manxuan said softly.

"We Huaxia people mastered the laws of celestial movements thousands of years ago and recorded astronomical phenomena like eclipses. This means people knew eclipses were astronomical phenomena, not superstition, thousands of years ago. But why do later generations still perform rituals during eclipses to drive away the Heavenly Dog?"

"Could there be some other reason?" Lin Tian asked. Xiao Manxuan blinked, unsure how to respond. Yes, knowing eclipses are astronomical, why still perform rituals?

As the two pondered this question, half of the moon was swallowed by shadows, becoming half red and half moon white.

"So beautiful." Xiao Manxuan praised softly.

Just as the words fell, a red light shot down from the moon, moving quickly, flashing by like a meteor. Lin Tian even heard girls in the distance shouting "Meteor!"

"It doesn’t seem like a meteor?" Xiao Manxuan voiced her doubt, her vision far better than most.

But Lin Tian had already leapt up, looking towards the construction site with a somber expression: "Something’s about to happen."

"What’s about to..." Xiao Manxuan asked curiously, but before she could finish, the ground suddenly trembled. Lin Tian felt a bloodthirsty aura sweep past.

"Such strange energy!" The Sword Spirit said in his mind.

A faint sound of wind breaking came from nearby. Lin Tian turned his head, only to see a black shadow flash by quickly, like a ghost.

"Xu Feibai!" Lin Tian immediately recognized the figure that flashed by. At school, besides himself, it seemed only Xu Feibai was capable of such speed.

"Something’s happened at the construction site, hold onto me tight." Lin Tian reached out to grasp Xiao Manxuan’s waist, with a flicker of his form, he chased after Xu Feibai’s shadow. Xiao Manxuan was startled, instinctively holding onto Lin Tian tight.

At such a time, Lin Tian couldn’t dare leave the little girl alone. Anything might happen at this time.

Though the construction site was far, with Lin Tian running like this, it wasn’t long before it appeared before them. Xu Feibai was standing outside the site, looking inside solemnly. He didn’t enter, seemingly worried about something.

"You felt it too." Xu Feibai said without turning his head, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.

"The blood moon triggered an anomaly. If I guessed correctly, that was Jiang Chen’s aura." Lin Tian frowned.

Of course he understood why Xu Feibai was excited. With Jiang Chen’s aura appearing, it indicated that Jiang Chen’s emergence was not far off, perhaps tonight, perhaps tomorrow.

But Xu Feibai shook his head, saying: "That’s not just Jiang Chen’s aura. There’s also the aura of the seal. The blood moon must have triggered the seal; the entrance to the passage could appear at any moment."

"The ancient mighty seal barrier is strong, but as time passes, the seal weakens. Tonight’s celestial anomaly has finally stirred the seal. The day has finally arrived." Xu Feibai rarely smiled.

Lin Tian coldly snorted, "What’s worth being happy about? Now you’re free, but if Jiang Chen emerges, you’ll become his slave, under his control."

"This is destiny." Xu Feibai glanced at Lin Tian lightly, then at Xiao Manxuan, not revealing much in front of her. But Lin Tian picked up on his meaning, hinting that Lin Tian’s destiny also lay in Nu Ba, under Nu Ba’s control.

"Lin Tian, what did you mean earlier? Is Teacher Xu..." Xiao Manxuan thought of something, her eyes widened in shock.

Lin Tian didn’t answer, effectively confirming her thoughts. Xiao Manxuan covered her mouth in surprise. When Lin Tian and Xu Feibai thought she was scared, she suddenly said something that left them both perplexed.

"I’ve seen living vampires; now I’ve finally seen a living zombie. It doesn’t seem so terrifying." Xiao Manxuan showed a face of curiosity, not fear, but curiosity.

Lin Tian and Xu Feibai exchanged a glance, both men with expressions of exasperation. Simultaneously, Xu Feibai surprisingly revealed a look of envy towards Lin Tian.

Although he said nothing, Lin Tian understood his meaning: to have a woman who doesn’t mind his zombie identity is perhaps the most beautiful thing for a lonely zombie.
