Under the black night, Cao Zhen and Immortal Bi Yue descended beside four corpses on the ground and, after a brief inspection, were surprised to discover that all four had been killed by their own comrades.
"So, no one came to kill them, they all killed each other?"
Cao Zhen instantly thought of those black auras.
"Could it be that because of those black auras, they became full of hostility and thus killed each other?" he asked, turning to Bi Yue. Earlier, both he and Bi Yue had been affected by the hostility, and Bi Yue had even attacked him; had it not been for the Age of Prosperity Qi within him, he might have engaged in combat with Bi Yue as well.
Yet his disciples seemed unaffected.
He and Bi Yue continued onward, and before long they encountered three more corpses, with only a broken Divine Weapon lying beside them.
