Chi Shuyan shook her head and wasn’t in a hurry to reply to Father Wei. She said, “When a black magic user starts cultivating a Flying Head, they usually have to find a secluded place to make sure that they won’t be
interrupted suddenly; the Flying Head can only come out at midnight. The Flying Head is divided into seven stages, and each stage lasts for 49 days before it can be considered a success. Once a black magic user starts
cultivating a Flying Head, they have to do so for the full 49 days without interruption, and they have to suck blood every day.”
Chi Shuyan continued, “I always felt that the bites on the dead animals in the forest near the military district didn’t look like bites by those infected with corpse poison, nor do they look like they were bitten by the
ghost thing in the blood bracelet. Most of the forest animals were bitten to death, but they weren’t sucked dry of blood, which is quite different. I also took a special look at the bites left on the corpses by the thing in
Shen Rongyin’s blood bracelet. They’re completely different from the bites on the dead forest animals. On the other hand, the bites on the forest animals are the same as the ones on the dead poultry in the military
district.”
Chi Shuyan’s meaning was too clear.
Qi Zhenbai was the first to react. “Yan Yan, are you saying that Azancheng might be hiding somewhere in the military district to cultivate the Flying Head?”
Wei Xiao’s calm expression finally cracked.
Chi Shuyan looked at Uncle Wei’s expression and said, “Generally speaking, when a black magic user starts cultivating the Flying Head, it’s especially important to choose a place where they won’t be disturbed in the
slightest. You know that the Flying Head is prevalent in places like T Country and L Country. Almost all the villagers there know about black magic users and the Flying Head. As long as a human or animal is sucked dry
of blood and dies, the villagers will definitely mobilize to find the black magic user. Given that sort of situation, a black magic user generally wouldn’t dare cultivate the Flying Head so easily. Plus, the Flying Head can be
considered the most difficult to cultivate but the most powerful and most mysterious of all magic arts. The slightest carelessness will cost a black magic user their life.”
Chi Shuyan continued, “Thus, some black magic users will hide in countries where black magic is not really understood. However, black magic users still have a reputation, and it’s the same in China. So, I suspect that
Azancheng accidentally discovered Shen Rongyin’s secret and wanted to cooperate with her. She would cover for him, and he would also cover for her to divert attention!”
The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she felt that it was Azancheng who was responsible for the people who were infected with corpse poison, as a cover for his and Shen Rongyin’s secrets and to divert
attention.
What Chi Shuyan didn’t understand was why Azancheng was only now cultivating the Flying Head after so many years, and was even doing so close to the military district. Thinking about it, however, there was a
historical
saying: “The most dangerous place is the safest.” Maybe he really felt that was the case.
However, the Flying Head had always been too difficult to cultivate and was too dangerous. Generally speaking, black magic users wouldn’t be willing to cultivate the Flying Head unless there was a blood feud.
Moreover, putting your life in another party’s hands was also extremely dangerous. Perhaps the reason why Azancheng had been so close to Shen Rongyin for so many years was to test how reliable she was.
Chi Shuyan was enlightened. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she got it. In the end, this was just a guess. She had to find Azancheng first to confirm it.
Seeing her man and Uncle Wei’s faces turn even more solemn, Chi Shuyan said, “Uncle Wei, Zhenbai, this is just my guess for now. There’s no hurry!”.
