Wang Chen's predecessor had perished due to demonic possession.
Cultivators refine their arts, their bodies, and their souls, but any of these practices can give rise to inner demons and then be infiltrated by external evil, driving them into madness.
This is known as demonic possession.
Cultivators who become possessed either die in deranged states or they turn to cultivate the demonic arts and become true demon cultivators.
The cultivator who had presided over Free Residence before Wang Chen was one such unfortunate who fell into demonic madness, rushed straight to the Evil Eye; under the assault of Yin Sha Energy, his Divine Soul was utterly extinguished!
The Monster Spirit Giant had witnessed this very scene, which was why it was able to answer Wang Chen's questions.
Regarding such a response, Wang Chen tentatively believed it.
In truth, he was not actually looking for an answer, but the explanation given by the Monster Spirit Giant clearly had its implausible aspects.
