Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

80: Demonic Cultivator of the East Sea!A chill instantly ran down Chen Daoxuan’s spine, and he immediately recalled Qian Wanli’s earlier warning.

”The methods are bizarre, not like something sea beasts would do...”

”Was it Demonic Path Cultivators?”

”Nine times out of ten.”

Chen Xu nodded and said, ”This is a good opportunity for you to learn more about the Demonic Path!”

The black iron flying boat was incredibly fast, arriving in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The island named Black Reef Island soon appeared in the father and son’s line of sight.

The flying boat slowly descended.

The moment their feet touched the island, a suffocating sensation washed over them.

It was too quiet.

Terribly quiet.

There were no insect chirps, no bird calls, and even the sound of waves crashing against the reefs seemed weak and listless.

The air was filled with a faint scent of blood and a subtle, lingering resentment.

It made one nauseous and uneasy.

”Such heavy resentment...”

Chen Daoxuan’s brows furrowed, and the spiritual power within his body spontaneously circulated, resisting this ominous Aura.

Chen Xu said nothing, merely leading him slowly towards the only fishing village in the center of the island.

At the village entrance, the drying fishing nets still hung there.

There were even a few wind-dried sea fish still attached to them.

On the street, several shells used by children for play were scattered on the ground, and next to them was a wooden ball that had rolled halfway.

Everything seemed to have been paused.

The father and son entered a house; the courtyard gate was ajar and opened with a push.

In the courtyard, the clothes the woman had hung out to dry still swayed gently on the bamboo pole with the wind.

On the dining table inside, several plates of cold dishes were laid out, and the bowls and chopsticks were still in their original places; one bowl even contained half a bowl of fish soup.

The fire in the stove had long since extinguished, leaving only a faint residual warmth.

It was as if the owners of this house had been called out while eating and had never returned.

Chen Daoxuan looked at several houses in a row, and the situations were all largely similar.

The entire village was empty.

But everything was neatly arranged.

There were no signs of struggle, no resistance, not a single trace of a fight.

It was as if... thousands of people in the entire village had, at the same instant, willingly left this place and collectively vanished into thin air.

This eerie scene was even more chilling than seeing a ground covered in corpses.

”Father, this...”

Chen Daoxuan’s voice was a bit dry.

”What have you noticed?”

Chen Xu’s tone remained calm, like a teacher examining a student.

Chen Daoxuan forced himself to calm down, carefully recalling everything he had just seen, and said in a deep voice, ”There are no signs of a struggle at the scene, indicating that the strength of the person who acted was vastly different from these Mortal fishermen, reaching a level where they could instantly obliterate them.”

”And what else?”

”From the residual warmth of the food and the ashes in the stove, the incident must have happened the night before last.”

Chen Daoxuan added, ”Moreover, the perpetrator didn’t seem to care about wealth; none of the houses showed signs of being ransacked. His goal was solely the people.”

”Not bad.”

Chen Xu nodded, acknowledging his analysis, but then added, ”But you’re only half right.”

”These fishermen were not instantly obliterated.”

Chen Xu reached out, his fingertip gently tracing a dusty tabletop.

”Look here, the dust is very even, without any handprints or struggle marks. If they were forcibly abducted or killed, even with a huge disparity in strength, people would instinctively react in the face of death. It’s impossible for them to leave no trace at all.”

He paused, his voice becoming somewhat cold and eerie.

”The only explanation is that before they died, they didn’t realize they were heading towards death. Or rather, they were drained of all life in an unconscious state.”

Chen Daoxuan felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

To die without knowing it?

What a bizarre and malicious method!

”But... how could that be done?”

”Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques are strange and varied, far beyond your imagination.”

Chen Xu slowly raised his head, his gaze directed towards the center of the island.

”The surface clues end here. To know the truth, we need to look deeper.”

The moment his voice fell.
