Chapter 19 – Is the Villain of the Blood Sea a master at building the foundation?
Escape!
A bone-chilling cold enveloped Brandon Jiang's entire body!
He couldn't muster even the slightest bit of resistance, leaving him with only one thought: to run.
Before his mind could make a decision, his body had already moved.
All the spiritual power in his dantian erupted, spreading throughout his limbs and bones, causing his strength to surge and his legs to become incredibly powerful.
He took a step and frantically fled!
The scenery around him blurred as it rushed past. Brandon didn't know how fast he was running and didn't dare to look back.
He only knew that in the blink of an eye, he had reached the front of a room belonging to a senior sister with considerable cultivation!
Brandon hurriedly banged on the door, shouting for help:
"Senior Sister, save me! Senior Sister, save me!!!"
In the next moment, a slightly annoyed voice sounded:

"What's all this noise? Disturbing my peaceful sleep!"
Immediately, a powerful aura emanated from the house, pressing heavily on Brandon's heart.
But instead of feeling uncomfortable, Brandon felt an immense sense of relief.
This senior sister's aura far surpassed that of the three immortals who had overseen the entrance assessment, even exceeding Jessica Yu's.
Being near her was much safer than before.
A drowsy woman in a white robe stepped out of the house, her pretty face cold as she stared at Brandon with displeasure:
"What is it?"
"Jessica Yu was killed! I'm her neighbor, I saw it. A demon named Villain of the Blood Sea wore her skin and infiltrated our Heavenly Lotus Sect!"
Brandon quickly explained the situation and then pleaded:
"Please, Senior Sister, eliminate the demon and uphold justice for Jessica Yu!"
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator's expression immediately turned serious.
"What did you say? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?!"
Brandon quickly replied:
"I'm sure, I saw it very clearly!"
The female cultivator's expression shifted, and she pondered:
"Junior Sister Yu had the cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refining. If something really happened to her, the demon that infiltrated Green Leaf Peak must be formidable..."
She immediately took out a jade talisman-like communication device and summoned the other disciples of Green Leaf Peak.
Before long, several female cultivators with similar cultivation levels to Jessica Yu arrived. They discussed briefly and then headed towards Jessica Yu's residence.
Brandon followed closely behind the female cultivators to avoid being left alone.
They soon arrived at Jessica Yu's residence. After knocking on the door and receiving no response, they broke in directly.
Brandon followed the female cultivators inside, searching around until they reached the dressing table that Brandon had pointed out.
But the lights were already out, and the room was empty.
Jessica Yu, or rather the Villain of the Blood Sea, was gone!
This sent chills down Brandon's spine. An enemy hiding in the shadows was far more terrifying than one out in the open.
Where had the Villain of the Blood Sea gone during the time he was fleeing?
Could he already be hiding in Brandon's own residence, waiting to devour him alive when he returned?
While Brandon's mind was in turmoil, the female cultivators completed their analysis.
"To kill Junior Sister Yu and drain her without anyone noticing, the perpetrator's cultivation must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Do you think the Villain of the Blood Sea has that kind of power?"
Brandon shook his head.
"Then that's settled."
The lead senior sister finished speaking and left without saying more.
Brandon was bewildered.
Could he really have seen it wrong?
Or was the Villain of the Blood Sea actually a Foundation Establishment expert?
But he had seen with his own eyes the Villain of the Blood Sea being chased around like a dog by the fairies of the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Could someone like that be a Foundation Establishment expert?
When all other possibilities are eliminated, the only remaining possibility is that he saw it wrong.
But did he really see it wrong?
Was the Villain of the Blood Sea really dead?
A gust of cold wind blew, and Brandon shivered.
He didn't dare go home and quickly headed to Chu Jun's residence for protection.
In Chu Jun's room, Brandon told her about seeing the Villain of the Blood Sea, hoping to hear the opinion of this senior at the peak of Qi Refining.
Chu Jun pondered for a long time before saying:
"I think the same as the other junior sisters. Junior Sister Yu was killed by a strong cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above, and it has nothing to do with the Villain of the Blood Sea at the fourth level of Qi Refining."
"Brandon, you might have seen the Villain of the Blood Sea because the pressure from being enslaved by him caused you too much stress, leading to hallucinations when you saw the terrifying scene of Junior Sister Yu being devoured."
"Other than that, I can't think of any other explanation."
After listening, Brandon, though not convinced that what he saw was a hallucination, could only reluctantly accept this explanation.
He didn't disturb Chu Jun any further and sat cross-legged to rest.
But suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed Brandon's mind.
What if what he saw wasn't a hallucination, but real?
He had already reached the first level of Qi Refining. Why would he have hallucinations just because of a bit of psychological shadow?
Could it be that what he saw was an illusion cast by a powerful being? But why would such a being go to such lengths for someone as insignificant as him? Wouldn't it be easier to just devour him too?
If the Villain of the Blood Sea really replaced Jessica Yu, then what he saw was more reasonable!
Following this line of thought, how could the Villain of the Blood Sea avoid detection in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, filled with experts?
Perhaps, as long as he didn't remove the skin of the person he replaced, no one would ever notice, and everything would seem the same as before, even to the closest people.
Only this way could he evade all scrutiny until Brandon accidentally discovered him.
It was even possible that the Villain of the Blood Sea wasn't the real body, but just one of the many identities the real culprit had replaced.
In that case, the real culprit's power wouldn't be limited to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Foundation Establishment or higher was entirely possible.
The more Brandon thought about it, the more it made sense, and the more terrified he became.
A thought uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.
If that mysterious being's power was indeed terrifying, could he really escape?
What if, the moment he saw the other person, he had already been replaced?
What if he was already just a skin, and the person underneath was no longer him?
Brandon was so frightened by his own thoughts that he felt weak all over.
He trembled as he reached out his hands to touch the back of his head.
If he had indeed been possessed, would there be an opening at the back of his head, and would his entire skin come off with a pull?
