Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422 Blood, Bloodsucking...

A member of the Ghost Clan without an inner elixir, following them to confront Grand Old Master Chen, were they going to help them or to cause them trouble?

She thought, it should be the latter, right?

"I..."

Ling’er opened her mouth, also knowing that following them would only add chaos.

But she really didn’t intend to confront Grand Old Master Chen—if she had been able to confront him, she would have done so long ago. Why would she wait until now and even invite the people from Wuzhu Teahouse?

"What I mean to say is, Grand Old Master Chen definitely isn’t in his own courtyard right now. I can take you to where he is."

"He’s not in his own courtyard?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow and glanced at the daylight outside. It was still bright.

It was possible that he wasn’t in his own courtyard; the Chen Residence was so large, and as the only adult male in the Chen Family, Grand Old Master Chen naturally had his own affairs.

This was understandable.

But then, they weren’t really in a rush at this very moment, were they?

"We..."

"Members of the Ghost Clan, once in the Human Clan, must feed on fresh blood every day to extend their lives. Right now, Grand Old Master Chen is probably in the secret chamber in the backyard, sucking blood."

They just heard Ling’er speak in her indifferent tone.

"Hiss!"

Madam Chen gasped at the mention of fresh blood.

"Blood, blood-sucking..."

"Madam, typically members of the Ghost Clan only feed on the blood of animals, but Grand Old Master Chen is different," Ling’er explained to Madam Chen.

"Different?"

Madam Chen raised a hand to cover her mouth.

"He... he... he wouldn’t... the blood he consumes is... is..."

She just couldn’t bring herself to say the word "human" and fearfully swallowed her saliva.

"I understand now!"

Suddenly, Lin Caisang blurted out four words.

"Sang’er?"

Sui Zimo looked at her, murmuring her name.

"The records... the records mention that members of the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan, if they consume human blood and are assisted by certain forbidden arts, can appear indistinguishable from humans."

Lin Caisang said.

She hadn’t expected Grand Old Master Chen to be such a ruthless person; he must have harmed many lives among the humans over the years, hadn’t he?

"I... I just said... just said... how could it be possible." Madam Chen trembled, unable to complete her sentence.

"Madam Chen, what are you trying to say?"

Lin Caisang, seeing her like this, asked.

"What she is trying to say is that over the years, servants have continuously disappeared from the Chen Residence, and they thought those servants had just run away, without making much fuss," Sui Zimo said.

He had been gathering information these past few days and naturally knew about the old affairs of the Chen Residence.

"Tsk, tsk!"

Lin Caisang clicked her tongue twice.

Grand Old Master Chen truly was a complete disaster.

If she didn’t get rid of this person, her task would be deemed incomplete, right? This fellow was simply too cunning, vile, and bloodthirsty.

Forget the heavens, even she, knowing this world was fictitious, couldn’t stand by without intervening to eliminate a menace to the people.

"Alright, you lead the way. Let’s all go and meet this Grand Old Master Chen."

She looked at Ling’er and said firmly.

Ling’er immediately nodded, leading Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo away, while Madam Chen, after thinking it over again and again, hurriedly lifted her skirts and followed.

Having heard their conversation, she was still very afraid.
