Chi Cheng couldn't muster the energy to argue or rebel against his intimate contact with Zhu Zhiying. In fact, it didn't faze him because he was desperate to be free from the demonic energy spreading its corruption within his body.
Zhu Zhiying cupped the back of Chi Cheng's head, closing his eyes while he deepened their contact. Searching for the remnants of demonic energy, General Zhu detected a strange anomaly in Chi Cheng's meridians.
Previously, Chi Cheng's mentors of the Feng and Shan Clans who attempted to resolve his body's issue declared that the younger male's body rejected Qi due to blockages in his meridians.
They classified his body as unsuitable for Cultivation practices and reported that they were unsuccessful in determining a method to absolve those blockages.
