The miserable screams of the male cultivator were probably heard not only by Li Dai, but also by the others who remained awake for various reasons. Sure enough, judging from the observations of the Pink butterfly, the few people who had been making subtle movements didn't dare to act rashly after the sudden demise of that powerful man, and Li Dai was no exception.
As for Dugu Ye beside her, he probably knew something as well, remaining awake while likewise proving not to be a rash person. This turn of events ended up giving the owner of those eyes plenty of time to continuously absorb the vital essence from the moaning people.
Naturally, Li Dai was unwilling to continue waiting—who knew what the outcome of waiting would be? Through continued observation, she noticed that the people whose vital essence had been drained were not actually dying; they were merely weakened, their vital blood and breath depleted, and their cultivation rendered unstable. If they were to wake up, they would likely only think they had taken a nap and felt tired, without suspecting anything more.
