Chapter 85

"This is... ."

Ye Xiao immediately saw that the Fa Zheng before him was not human!

Or rather, he was not a human.

Inside his body, there were two spiritual forces vying for control of his body. One was himself, and the other was an evil soul.

"No wonder Fa Zheng's state of mind was affected earlier. It turns out that an evil soul had invaded his body."

This evil soul was absolutely not simple.

At the very least, it had to be close to Fa Zheng's own soul to influence him.

It probably didn't invade Fa Zheng's body just a few days ago but had been inside him for a long time. It was just that in the past, it was very weak and couldn't influence Fa Zheng. Now, it had become stronger.

The night is yin, and Fa Zheng, who practices the mental techniques of the Buddhist school, which are of the utmost yang type, is suppressed at night.

The other side, however, is of the utmost yin and evil, and its effectiveness at night is stronger than usual.

The combination of yin and yang naturally narrows the gap with Fa Zheng.

At this moment, Fa Zheng is struggling to resist the other side.

If the other side overcomes Fa Zheng, it will take control of Fa Zheng's body.

At that time, Fa Zheng will no longer be Fa Zheng but an evil demon!

An evil demon with the power of a grandmaster!

If there were no one to stop it, it could destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people in Jianghai City before other strong people from other cities could be called in.

At this moment, Ye Xiao suddenly began to believe in fate.

Perhaps, heaven arranged for him to cooperate with Fa Zheng on the mission to save him and the entire Jianghai City from this disaster.

Closing the book slowly, Ye Xiao began to use the Great Profound Heavenly Gang to scan Fa Zheng's memories.

If it were any other time, Fa Zheng would definitely notice Ye Xiao's actions, as he is also a grandmaster of the Fifth Rank of the Innate Realm.

Not being able to resist Ye Xiao doesn't mean he can't detect anything.

But now, he is too busy dealing with the evil soul inside his body and can't pay attention to Ye Xiao.

Soon, Ye Xiao, as if watching a movie, quickly browsed through Fa Zheng's memories and found the reason.

It was when Fa Zheng was not yet a grandmaster and had just entered the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy.

The young him was as kind as the old him.

One year in the cold of December, after practicing boxing with his fellow disciples, he returned to the dormitory.

On the way, he passed through a snowy field and saved a shadow snake.

The shadow snake, in the dragon, tiger, and wolf bloodline levels, is of the tiger level, and it is even of the higher rank among the tiger level!

The shadow snake that Fa Zheng saved had already cultivated to the Extraordinary Realm, and it was just one step away from reaching the grandmaster level.

It had been injured by someone and fled to the playground, where it was then frozen by the ice and snow.

The kind Fa Zheng saved it and placed it in his arms to warm it with his body heat.

However, the shadow snake bit Fa Zheng out of ingratitude.

A real-life version of the fable "The Farmer and the Snake."

The shadow snake has a special ability in its bloodline, which allows it to transfer its soul to another person through blood and can perfectly hide itself.

Thus, for all these years, it has been hiding inside Fa Zheng's body, accompanying him as he exorcised demons and killed star beasts, half-beasts, and ghosts, quietly absorbing their resentment and continuously enhancing its own spiritual power.

Until now, its spiritual power has become so strong that it can influence Fa Zheng.

And Fa Zheng can no longer remove it!

When Ye Xiao finished seeing all this, Fa Zheng, or rather the shadow snake, let out a triumphant cackle.

"Hehehehe... Sixty years! Sixty years! I have finally succeeded!"

The sinister and evil voice made one shudder.

Clearly, in the yin-heavy night, Fa Zheng ultimately could not resist the shadow snake.

Now, his soul has been suppressed by the shadow snake, and the shadow snake has taken control of his body.

Crack, crack.

The shadow snake twisted its neck in a disturbing manner and stared straight at Ye Xiao.

"Human? You are truly lucky to witness my resurrection. As a reward, I will eat you piece by piece."

Saying this, it extended its tongue and licked its lips, drooling uncontrollably.

"I haven't tasted human flesh for sixty years."

Ye Xiao's expression remained calm as he looked at it indifferently.

This calm expression made the shadow snake raise an eyebrow.

"Human, are you not afraid of me?"

Ye Xiao still did not speak, but a voice of impatience came from his side.

"Are you done blabbering? I still need to sleep and work tomorrow. Do you have any sense of public decency?"

The shadow snake was taken aback and then shifted its gaze to the Phantom Cat.

Seeing the Phantom Cat, its expression suddenly froze, as if it hadn't fully reacted. The next moment, it screamed.

"A dragon-level bloodline star beast, a Phantom Cat? Are you a dragon-level bloodline Phantom Cat? How could there be a Phantom Cat here? This is impossible!"

After two heart-wrenching screams, it seemed to think of something and screamed again.

"Wait, why can't I sense your aura? Are you hiding your aura? Are you a lawyer who has cultivated to the grandmaster level?!"

"Damn!"

It was normal for the real Fa Zheng to not recognize the Phantom Cat, as he was not a specialized beast tamer and his spiritual power could not suppress Ye Xiao.

But the shadow snake could not possibly be wrong, not only because the perception between star beasts far exceeds that of humans.

There is also an extremely important reason.

The Phantom Cat is the natural enemy of the shadow snake!

The Phantom Cat can be said to be the ultimate predator of the shadow snake, from bloodline to cultivation!

Years of oppression have deeply imprinted the fear of the Phantom Cat in their genes.

And here, there is a Phantom Cat!

No.

No, no, no!

The key issue doesn't seem to be the Phantom Cat.

It turned its head, looked at Ye Xiao, then at the Phantom Cat, and then back at Ye Xiao...

A human and a Phantom Cat coexisting peacefully... and the Phantom Cat is sleeping at the foot of Ye Xiao's bed, clearly like a loyal servant!

This young human, who looks inexperienced, is the master of a grandmaster-level Phantom Cat?

How strong must he be?

Damn!

Did I not check the almanac today?

In that instant, the entire shadow snake felt unwell.

Completely disoriented!

"Run!"
