The sound did not arise abruptly, yet Tian Lin couldn't help but take two steps back.
He directed his gaze towards Immortal Master Zhou in the pond and the Blood Sect man, only to see the Blood Sect man suddenly spit out the fruit from his mouth, then clutched at his throat and tumbled down.
After the Blood Sect man sank to the bottom of the water, the lotus leaves in the water instantly covered the surface, concealing his corpse.
Soon after, lotus whips rose from the pond, and new leaves and buds sprouted on the water's surface.
The buds bloomed, bearing clusters of bright red fruits.
Tian Lin realized in his heart, this was not a Dao Fruit; or to put it another way, the Dao Fruits were transformed from the corpse of the Blood Sect man.
Tian Lin then looked towards Immortal Master Zhou, only to see him, too, clutching his throat as he sank to the bottom of the pond—
He didn't need to continue watching to guess the fate that awaited Immortal Master Zhou.
