Looking at the two corpses lying at Mu Zi's feet, everyone present shuddered without feeling cold.
Those were Mu Zi's own biological sons, who in the blink of an eye had become two withered mummies.
The desiccated bodies, with lifeless eyes gazing at the sky, lay there quietly.
Mu Chen was still wearing today's groom's clothes, but now he had completely lost the breath of life.
The thick black fog surrounding Mu Zi slowly dissipated, revealing Mu Zi's figure to everyone once again.
However, the person standing before them was no longer the graceful second Young Master of the Mu Family.
The entire person seemed as though they had swapped heads.
With protruding fangs and horns on the head, even the arms were covered with fine scales.
"Could it really be demonic transformation? Has the Demon World already found a passage into the Human World?" Purple Cloud said softly.
"Cloud sister, what exactly is demonic transformation?" Mu Can asked curiously.
"Creatures from the Demon World can't exist in the Human World for long, but they can take over a human body to survive. However, occupying a person's body requires the person's consensual agreement to succeed. After being taken over, a person's temperament will undergo significant changes," Purple Cloud explained carefully.
She would never forget the scene she witnessed at the Immortal-Demon gateway when she was still in the Immortal World.
That was before she had achieved the Supreme Position when she saw a local powerhouse being engulfed by the black fog of the Demon World, never to be seen again.
"It's no wonder, I felt that my uncle has changed a lot in these two years, as if he became a different person," Mu Can thought out loud.
Originally, Mu Zi and Mu Zi's were not of the same mother and father, but their feelings for each other were still passable.
It was just that in the past over two years, Mu Zi's cultivation had suddenly soared, and his entire temperament had also changed dramatically.
But no one knew why, now it seems it was all the mischief of the Demon World's creatures.
"Hehe, making deals with Demon World creatures is like offering your soul to the demon," Purple Cloud said disdainfully.
Not just anyone could tempt creatures from the Demon World, only those with vast darkness hidden in their hearts could be easily lured.
"What kind of monster is this? How can it be so terrifying?"
Feeling the aura emanating from Mu Zi, it was much more powerful than before.
The onlookers had personally witnessed Mu Zi killing his own two sons, then transforming into such an apparition.
Now, everyone was filled with fear towards this humanoid creature, but even so, only a few chose to flee.
The rest wanted to see how the Mu Family would clean up this incident in the end.
More people were curious to see if the reclusive ancestor of the Mu Family would eventually come out of seclusion.
The ancestor of the Mu Family is the real backbone of the family; without the ancestor of the Mu Family,
The leading status of the Mu Family in Pingyun City might have been long lost.
"Uncle, can you still understand what I'm saying?" Mu Can sized up the monster in the venue and asked.
The monster let out a roar, turning its head to glance at all the people around.
Aside from Mu Can, those who met the monster's cold gaze all lowered their heads, not daring to look at it.
"You deserve to die. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have emerged so soon," the monster said hoarsely, looking at Mu Can.
Yet Mu Can keenly noticed a hint of liquid appearing in the monster's eyes.
"Am I crying? Is it because I killed my own son that I'm weeping?" Mu Can thought to himself.
If there were still tears, then perhaps Mu Zi Li still retained a bit of humanity and wasn't completely possessed by the Demon.
"Get out of my body." The monster clutched its head in pain, roaring from its mouth.
"You and I are one and the same, with the same desires. A son is just that, a son. Once I have flattened the Human World, you can have whatever you want. Why fear these things?" The monster turned and continued speaking to itself.
"It's all because of you. If you hadn't tempted me, I wouldn't have ended up like this today." Mu Zi Li roared in agony.
The soul fused with the monster causes pain far more unbearable than that of the flesh.
"Don't resist. We are one. Rest assured, I will make sure every person here dies; the news of my appearance must not leak out. Don't resist, I am you, and you are me," the monster enticed Mu Zi Li.
Slowly, the struggle on the monster's face weakened considerably, the confusion in its eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a cold gaze.
This kind of gaze held a sort of emotion that wasn't human at all.
It was indifference to life, as if, to this severe monster, all present were no different from ants on the ground.
"I've finally suppressed this waste. I didn't expect his resistance to be so strong," the monster twisted its neck, looking at Mu Can.
"Who exactly are you?" Mu Can asked coldly. Although he had resolved to kill Mu Zi Li, he wanted to give Mu Zi Li a dignified death at least.
Now, Mu Zi Li, neither human nor ghost, was like a monster.
"Does it matter who I am? Good nephew, obey and let your uncle kill you. I can already taste the deliciousness of your soul," the monster cackled with sinister laughter.
"Heh, you, a monster, are also worthy of calling me nephew?" Mu Can laughed in extreme anger. This monster was bound to die today.
Mu Can had an intuition that all the events were instigated by this monster.
Otherwise, Mu Zi Li would not have had the courage to lay a hand on himself.
"I am Mu Zi Li, and Mu Zi Li is me. His name is destined to be tied to mine. Ha-ha, consider yourselves the first meal I feast on after my return. The souls of Cultivators are the most delicious tonic."
The monster laughed eerily, and with it, the temperature in the Mu Family seemed to have dropped a little.
"You monster, laughing at what? You still want to kill us? Beware that our ancestor might come out and destroy you," the chubby kid courageously picked up a plate from the table and hurled it.
The plate, with hardly touched food, whistled through the air, heading straight for Mu Zi Li.
After throwing the plate, the chubby kid didn't even look back as he turned and ran, his waddling little bum causing Mu Can to be speechless.
The plate exploded before it could even touch Mu Zi Li, scattering the food all around, splattering over the onlooking guests.
"This damn fatty," the drenched guests from other families cursed in frustration.
They were just enjoying the commotion when Mu Zi Li was about to kill them, to add insult to injury, now doused in soup by the chubby kid.
A disaster out of nowhere.
"Court death," Mu Zi Li seemed to be enraged.
With a sweep of his hand, a gust of black energy howled towards the chubby kid running out.
In the howling black energy, upon closer look, one could see tiny faces within, men and women, old and young, each face wailing in pain.
"Want to hurt him? Did you ask me first?" Mu Can lifted the Fire King Cauldron in his hand.
A stream of flame shot out, easily intercepting the black energy that was targeting the chubby kid.
"Oh? Are you seeking death too?" Mu Zi Li glanced at Mu Can and said.
