QT: Capture The Villain's Love

Chapter 164: Absorbing The Demonic Energy!

Tyler took a deep breath and continued to walk ahead. Even though he was new to this cultivation world, with the help of this body's memories and Feng Chao's teachings, he could figure out how to use talisman seals and formations quickly. So he swiftly took out a talisman spell similar to that of the male lead and ignited it.

The surroundings became clearer, but it was unfamiliar to him. Earlier, when he was walking with the male lead, he could see the walls smeared with blood and dropping on the surface from the top now and then. It looked more like there were dead bodies far above the ceiling of the cave.

But now, when Tyler looked at the walls, they were dry as if there had never been a time he saw blood. He ignored the wall and walked ahead. Since this cave had separated him from his lover, he couldn't do anything about it. It randomly sent him to an unknown path that led to God knows where.

After walking for a while, he noticed something bright at the very end of the narrow path. It felt as if something was blocking his vision with so much light. Tyler squinted his eyes and kept going ahead.

Was this light his power? He didn't know, but he had no choice but to walk ahead.

And sure enough, when Tyler moved forward, his eyes adjusted to the brightness and finally found the thing they were looking for: a dead body.

The corpse was covered with torn clothes as dried blood was still visible on the skin. And the strange thing was that the dead body didn't seem like it was a corpse at all. Instead, the man seemed more like he was sleeping.

Tyler frowned and walked toward the corpse. Where could his power be? He remembered reading that the power is within the dead body, but where exactly was it located?

Should he take the heart out?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. So he thought he should check out the body. Just as he touched the skin of the dead body, a wisp of energy flooded out of the man and swiftly entered Tyler, making him feel dizzy.

The latter's body energized, and he finally realized what his power was! It was none other than the demonic energy that had turned the original villain into a demonic cultivator!

So he didn't have any choice other than to become a legit villain. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. But when he thought about the demonic energy, he frowned. Just now, he felt as if his body was energized, but in the original world, the villain had felt turbulence in his body rather than a feeling of fulfillment after gaining this energy. Then why was Tyler not feeling the same?

Was it because he was the original owner of the power?

He sighed and thought of finding the male lead. Just as he was about to turn around, his finger accidentally touched the corpse again, and another wisp of energy poured inside him. And this time, this energy forcefully flooded inside his body, making him feel choked up in his throat.

Ah, now he realized. The last time, he hadn't gotten the demonic energy, and he could have saved himself from gaining that energy if only he hadn't touched the corpse again. Tyler didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

Maybe he was destined to become a villain in this world. But since the system had told them not to follow the arcs this time, he shrugged it off and walked away.

On the other side, the male lead continued to walk in the endless narrow pathway, not knowing what was going on. But as he walked, he noticed a distance away, leading him toward another area. He frowned and walked out of the cave only to see a few people standing at the end of the tunnel.

They were the demonic cultivators, grinning ear-to-ear.

"Looks like we were successful."

"We definitely were!" Another man commented, staring at the male lead with vicious eyes.

Feng Chao didn't have to think twice before realizing what was happening right now. This cave was set up as a trap for them, and they fell into it. These cultivators had perhaps set a unique formation that separated him and his lover. Perhaps Tyler would have absorbed demonic energy.

Thinking about this, the male lead couldn't help but glare at the demonic cultivators. Tyler was already going through Qi Deviation, who had just managed to stabilize. And now, a wisp of demonic energy was poured inside his body, making him even more uncomfortable.

These demons were looking forward to killing themselves!

Feng Chao didn't say anything and took out his sword to attack them.

By the time Tyler came out of the cave, he had found his lover wiping blood off of the sword while glancing at the dead bodies before his eyes with a darkened expression. But since Tyler's body had demonic energy creating turbulence, he didn't have time to think about anything before he fainted right before his senior.

Feng Chao's body flashed toward Tyler, and before the latter could fall on the ground, Master Feng caught his eldest disciple's body, bringing him in his arms. After that, he inserted his spiritual energy inside Tyler's body and scanned the meridians only to find that a trace of demonic power was moving around, causing havoc in the body.

He frowned and retracted his energy. Right now, he couldn't do anything and only wait until his baby's body could relax a little.

So he brought Tyler to a secluded place, away from demonic cultivators, and sat down in the lotus position to meditate. Right now, he didn't know how such a thing would impact his and Tyler's dual cultivation partnership.

Would they still be the same? In dual cultivation, the partners' energy absorption power would increase. So he still didn't know what would happen if they ended up performing dual cultivation activity. What if it would impact Tyler negatively?

No, he would first meditate and find out a way to handle the situation. There should be a solution as to how Tyler could come back to the righteous path. If he could get some insight through meditation, it would be even better!
