Shen Xingyao had mentioned that the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu had not pulled any tricks on him. If he really wanted the curse to do anything, it would probably be targeted at Jiu Ying instead.

But Jiu Ying was no longer here. Right after the Crimson Blood Demon's bat demon appeared, he had wanted to kill Wu Yu without any negotiation whatsoever. He had even said some slightly strange things that made Wu Yu suspicious. After some more thought, Wu Yu felt that the whole thing was probably just a coincidence. The bat demon had probably realized that there were others excavating precious treasures near the Endless Demon Seas and had come forward to force their retreat. He probably wanted to slaughter all the Shushan disciples that were defending the place in order to snatch all the treasures for himself. 

"If this wasn't the case and he was truly obeying the orders of the Crimson Blood Demon, then he wouldn't want to kill me on sight. After all, the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu probably still needs to use me in some sinister plot of his."

After he dissociated this event from the Blood Dragon of Mount Wu, things did not seem that complicated anymore.

Wu Yu had gained new insight from the practical experience of this mortal battle. He continued to refine his Jindan with his newfound knowledge. 

As of now, danger lurked around every corner....
