Chapter 529: The Outer Realm Evil Clan That Has Transcended Low-Level Tastes

Inside Qiling City.

Jiang Lingxian pushed open the door to his residence, quickly locked it behind him after entering, scanned his surroundings, and whispered:

"Senior, are you still there?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Xiao Han's figure appeared from a corner of the room, frowning as he observed the furnishings of the somewhat dilapidated house.

"This is your home?"

"With your strength... you actually have to live in a place like this?"

After a brief time together, Xiao Han had also learned about the situation in Qiling City from Jiang Lingxian.

Qiling City was located on the border of this continent known as the Demon Spirit Continent, and precisely because of this, it meant the overall strength level of Qiling City was not high.

Due to the low status of the Evil Spirit Clan among the Outer Realm Evil Clan, the strongest person in Qiling City was a Demon General sent by the Man Mo Clan to station and supervise the Evil Spirit Clan, whose strength barely reached the Supreme Realm.

It was only after learning the former's strength that Xiao Han dared to swagger into the city with Jiang Lingxian; as a small fry in the Supreme Realm, Xiao Han would never reveal his identity even if he were to stroll openly right before the other's eyes.

"Evil Qi entering the body? What kind of illness is that?"

Jiang Lingxian was astonished; had that person not just seen his younger sister?

"Why didn't he take that child to ask a strong person to investigate? Don't tell me he was stingy with his money!"

"How did you know?"

"Is it an incompatibility with Evil Qi?"

Xiao Han looked serious; after complex questioning, he also learned the reason why Jiang Lingxian would rather grope in the dark himself than find someone to treat the illness.

"That..."

"For eight years, I have relied on that medicine to keep Da Yu alive."

The so-called Evil Qi entering the body refers to the phenomenon where the Spirit Power, blood, and even the soul of living beings in the Lesser Thousand Worlds are polluted by the Evil Qi of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan.

After observing carefully for a while, Xiao Han arrived at a conclusion in astonishment; this conclusion was even more unexpected than his accidental encounter with the Evil Spirit Clan.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingxian lowered his eyes and said bitterly:

The medicine Jiang Lingxian gave Da Yu contained quite a lot of Evil Qi; in the territory of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan, it probably wasn't cheap stuff either. Having used it for eight years, the cost must have been immense. With that kind of money, hiring a strong person would have been much better than fumbling around alone.

"If you want her to die suddenly within a year, you can continue using that medicine."

"If you had just found a strong person to investigate a little, you wouldn't have let that girl's condition drag on for eight years."

Jiang Lingxian was busy tinkering with medicine in the room and did not notice Xiao Han's intrusion, and the latter did not take the initiative to disturb him.

Evil Qi entering the body usually occurs after small-scale wars between the Lesser Thousand Worlds and the Domain-Outer Evil Clan. Due to unavoidable injuries on the battlefield, wounds are contaminated by high concentrations of Evil Qi in a very short time; if one does not withdraw from the battlefield in time, symptoms of Evil Qi entering the body will appear.

"I also know that you have never taken that girl to see a doctor properly."

"How did you know?"

This time, it was Xiao Han's turn to be dumbfounded. Good fellow, she had been drinking poison for eight years and still managed to hold on until now; this vitality was a bit terrifying!

"That girl is a classic case of Evil Qi entering the body. You have actually been feeding her medicine containing large amounts of Evil Qi for these eight years. If not for the heavens' favor, which allowed you to unintentionally achieve the effect of fighting poison with poison, that girl's life would have been over."

"You can't go."

"The little girl is naturally incompatible with Evil Qi, which is also the reason why she cannot cultivate."

"But the medicine is clearly very effective."

"Eight years?!"

While covering the sleeping girl with a quilt, Xiao Han explained.

Xiao Han sighed inwardly, sat on the edge of the bed, placed his fingers on the little girl's slender wrist, and a strand of Spirit Power quietly emerged within him, wandering through her body for a cycle.

Back then, their parents were the first to notice Jiang Lingyu's abnormality. Out of a desire to protect their child, they did not make it public, but instead, the family left their hometown and came to Qiling City, this remote and large city.

However, the target of Evil Qi entering the body would only be Lesser Thousand living beings whose power systems are incompatible with the Domain-Outer Evil Clan. For the Domain-Outer Evil Clan, high concentrations of Evil Qi would only become their most effective tonic.

The medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the medicinal soup inside soaked the floor at Jiang Lingxian's feet.

However, even the vast Evil Spirit Clan could not prevent the appearance of this tiny fraction of people. Very coincidentally, Jiang Lingxian's younger sister, Jiang Lingyu, unfortunately became one of them.

By the same token, how is feeding such a child medicine containing large amounts of Evil Qi any different from poisoning?

Letting someone whose constitution is incompatible with Evil Qi absorb Evil Qi to cultivate—if they could succeed, there would be ghosts!

"That's right."

The Domain-Outer Evil Clan really does nothing but inhuman things; a bunch of beasts who have transcended low-level tastes.

Such a genius, and their strength isn't bad either, so how did they end up in such a miserable state?

Within the Evil Spirit Clan, all clansmen who cannot cultivate are treated as waste products. As for the method of disposal...

The very characteristic of the Evil Spirit Clan being able to cultivate both Evil and Spirit also determined that they could not suffer from the illness of Evil Qi entering the body.

A tacit understanding!

Just as Xiao Han was puzzled, a timid voice suddenly came from a nearby room, making him realize that there was actually someone else here.

Xiao Han fell silent. Even though he knew the Evil Spirit Clan held a humble status comparable to slaves among the Domain-Outer Evil Clan, after hearing about their "artificial selection" and their "glorious achievements" of "killing at will," he had to admit one thing...

Xiao Han shook his head helplessly, full of frustration at the ignorance of the patient's family.

As Xiao Han's words fell, the girl suddenly choked, and a mouthful of blood tinged with black sprayed out, corroding holes of various sizes into the bedsheets. At the same time, a mass of black gas appeared in Xiao Han's hand, restlessly trying to escape, only to be shattered into nothingness by a wave of his hand.

"Bang!"

"However..."

"Is this a symptom of Evil Qi entering the body?"

During an outing, the two's parents were unfortunately killed at will by a passing strong member of the Evil Clan, leaving the siblings to rely on each other for survival.

The youth's eyes widened; he had met a living immortal!

In fact, after hundreds of consecutive generations of continuous "artificial selection," there were very few clansmen within the Evil Spirit Clan who were born unable to cultivate.

The youth's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Eh?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you haven't misread it, is that girl truly unable to cultivate?"

"Xiao Yu!"

"Ho... how could this be?!"

"That kind of illness is something they wouldn't contract; only those with a constitution naturally incompatible with Evil Qi will show corresponding symptoms when in an environment saturated with it."

"If the fact that Xiao Yu cannot cultivate is exposed, she will lose her life."

"How did you know?"

"Is that Brother back?"

When Jiang Lingxian poured the medicinal soup he had painstakingly prepared into a bowl, preparing to feed it to the little girl named Xiao Yu, a small hand blocked his path, drawing an anxious and puzzled look from him.

Upon hearing the childish voice, Jiang Lingxian didn't even care about the great figure that was Ling Clan, rushing in a panic toward the direction the sound came from; Ling Clan followed closely behind him into the room, and besides Jiang Lingxian, they saw a thin, frail little girl of seven or eight years old lying powerlessly on the bed, her face a sickly pale, her emaciated arms covered in pitch-black veins like creeping vines.

However, in a desolate, godforsaken place like Qiling City, Jiang Lingxian, a young man not even twenty years old, actually possessed strength comparable to the Spirit Soul Realm of the Great Thousand World, which could at least count him as a minor genius.

Jiang Lingxian's clear eyes were filled with an innocence untainted by knowledge.
