Zhou Xuan entered the Old Painting Pavilion, ready to eliminate the Sect Master and the Suffering Scholar,
but the sight within the pavilion caught him completely off guard.
In the makeshift cell on the second floor, the Suffering Scholar had already descended into madness,
while the Sect Master, tattooed with the "Earth Child" Demon Slaying Diagram, had been gnawing on himself.
Yet now, the Sect Master's mental state was oddly stable, and his body was intact.
Upon seeing Zhou Xuan step inside, the Suffering Scholar was counting the holes in his chains,
"Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen..."
The Sect Master, on the other hand, shot Zhou Xuan a venomous glare, surrounded by pools of coagulated blood and viscous fluid on the ground.
His body, oddly enough, had fully recovered, showing no signs of the self-devouring damage from two days ago when he had "feasted on himself."
