"Parasite?"

Doctor Chen Guang frowned. This object looked extremely malevolent and filled with demonic energy: "How did this thing end up inside your body?"

At this moment, Gongsun Qian also came to Zhou Shu's side. He glanced at Ming Xinghui, who was dead beyond any doubt, and at the black substance that was constantly wriggling in Zhou Shu's hand. He looked at Zhou Shu with a face full of doubt, waiting for Zhou Shu to give an answer.

"Greetings, Dean Gongsun!" Zhou Shu bowed to Gongsun Qian and asked, "Dean, have you ever heard of the Otherworldly Demons?"

"Otherworldly Demons?" Gongsun Qian's heart skipped a beat. After all, he was the dean of Luoshen Academy, and his knowledge was much broader than that of the two physicians. Zhou Shu had only mentioned Otherworldly Demons, but he had completely recalled all his knowledge about them.

“That’s right!” Zhou Shu nodded. “This thing is indeed the Otherworldly Demon!”

Gongsun Qian frowned: "But wasn't it said that the Otherworldly Demons had been extinct for thousands of years? How can we still see them here? Otherworldly Demons have methods to corrupt people's hearts, and some can even directly possess the body of their original owner!"

“That’s right!” Zhou Shu pointed to Ming Xinghui, who had turned into a pile of mangled flesh: “If I’m not mistaken, Ming Xinghui was already possessed by this demon when he was exploring the ancient ruins within the territory of the Dayang Dynasty!”

Gongsun Qian nodded, signaling Zhou Shu to continue.

"This demon is royalty among demons, possessing the ability to possess other people's bodies. Actually, the one who fought me on the stage just now wasn't Mingxing Hui, but a demon. You could tell from his moves and overwhelming demonic energy!"

Zhou Shu swallowed hard to moisten his throat: "This demonic entity was no match for me in the end. It actually followed the demonic energy and directly invaded my body, preparing to possess me just like it possessed Mingxinghui!"

"Then why weren't you possessed by the demon, while Mingxing Hui was?" Doctor Chen Guang asked in confusion.

Upon hearing Chen Guang's question, Gongsun Qian's gaze once again fell upon Zhou Shu.

This question stumped Zhou Shu, who knew he couldn't reveal his secret.

Seeing Zhou Shu hesitate, Gongsun Qian thought that Zhou Shu had also been possessed by the demon, and suddenly burst out with the aura of a peak second-grade cultivator: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Qian was about to get serious before he could even say two words, so I quickly came up with a plan.

Zhou Shu gritted his teeth, shook his head, and sighed, "Dean Gongsun, if it weren't for the mantra my master taught me to keep my true self, I'm afraid I would have really been taken advantage of by this beast!"

Gongsun Qian had already learned from Shan Yuxiu that Zhou Shu's master was the Qingfeng Sword Immortal. When he met Zhou Shu, he said that the Qingfeng Sword Immortal had given him the magic technique, which explained everything.

"Dean, this demon can use the Heart-Corroding Technique. Even a second-rank expert could be completely corrupted by it. We must kill it completely!"

Gongsun Qian nodded in agreement with Zhou Shu's opinion and said to the alien demon, "Since you have been parasitizing Ming Xinghui, you naturally know what he has been doing all this time. If you tell the truth, I might still spare your life!"

"Is this true!" The demon, who had been despondent, perked up immediately upon hearing Gongsun Qian's words!

"Really!" Gongsun Qian nodded and smiled, "Was Zhou Shu's guess just now true?"

"Not bad!"

"Since you were already parasitizing Ming Xinghui in the ancient ruins, do you know how Lu Xingjian died? And what about that third-rank official who died a few days ago? Is he related to you?"

The usually gentle Gongsun Qian suddenly became incredibly dignified and powerful, his deep voice echoing in the minds of everyone around him.

As the small flame in his heart flickered, Zhou Shu came to his senses. It seemed that Gongsun Qian had used some kind of soul-stirring sonic martial art when he roared just now!

The demon seemed to be intimidated by Gongsun Qian: "Lu Xingjian... I know him. In the ancient ruins, it was Lu Xingjian who broke the seal I gave him. Afterwards, Lu Xingjian told Mingxing Hui about discovering me. Under the influence of my Heart-Eating Technique, the two fought fiercely in order for me to parasitize and gain strength. In the end, Mingxing Hui killed Lu Xingjian with one strike, and I then parasitized Mingxing Hui's body!"

"As for that third-rank cultivator from a few days ago, I extracted his essence blood to enhance Ming Xinghui's strength. If it weren't for me, how could his strength have improved so quickly!"

Upon hearing the demon's words, Gongsun Qian's expression gradually darkened. It turned out that the recent turmoil was all stirred up by this demon.

"I've said everything I needed to say, can you let me go now?"

"Alright! I, Gongsun Qian, always keep my word. I'm entrusting this demon Zhou Shu to you. As for how to deal with him, that's also up to you to decide!"

Upon hearing Gongsun Qian's words, the demon's voice became shrill: "Human, you..."

"You're lucky you didn't fall into my hands!" Gongsun Qian glared coldly at the alien demon. "If you had fallen into my hands, I would have made you wish you were dead!"

"Zhou Shu, since the Azure Edge Sword Immortal's technique can resist the Heart-Corroding Art of the Otherworldly Demon, you must handle it properly and absolutely not hand it over to anyone else!"

Zhou Shu nodded: "Don't worry, Dean!"

"The cause of Lu Xingjian's death has been fully clarified. I am now going to inform the deans of this news. You are all tired from this competition, so prepare well and win honor for Luo Shen Academy!"

After saying that, Gongsun Qian leaped up and flew towards the battle platform where Shanyu Xiu was. This news was too important, and because he was in such a hurry, he even forgot to greet Huangfu Hongyi.

Zhou Shu put the demon into his Sharingan space and sealed it with a sword formation, then quickly ran towards Huangfu Chen's direction.

Huangfu Chen's injuries were at least brought under control by Ye Muling, but due to the demonic energy entering his body, the wounds could not heal at all!

When Bianmu saw Zhou Shu arrive, he guessed that Zhou Shu might be a top-tier physician, but seeing that Zhou Shu only made slight adjustments before examining Huangfu Chen's wounds, he couldn't help but frown. Even if your medical skills are superb, you must be meticulous and attentive when treating patients, without the slightest carelessness.

For doctors, even a small mistake can cost a person their life!

Seeing that Zhou Shu had started treating him without being prepared, Bianmu couldn't help but remind him, "Although Huangfu Chen's external injuries can be treated with rare and precious herbs, once the demonic energy in his body is released, even the best medicinal herbs will be corroded by the demonic energy and lose their efficacy!"
